Chapter 176: Night Trial of Doubtful Cases
What the grandmother didn't expect was that although she thought she had guessed the ins and outs of the ambiguous scene through the ambiguous scene, but the unrestrained spirit of the gentle girl was greatly beyond her expectations, so that when she finally heard the truth, she was so shocked that she almost didn't stumble again, and threw the soup woman in her arms to the instep.
It turned out that during the day, although Chungui arranged two maids to be on duty outside the warm pavilion, considering that the weather was too cold after nightfall, in order to minimize the hardship of the people on duty, in the middle of the day, the manpower of the night guard outside the warm pavilion was reduced to one person who could be rotated every other hour. Chungui thought that Hengzhu Lanting was not a picky and difficult to serve the lord, and he generally wouldn't fake what he could do in the middle of the night, and he didn't need a maid to circle around him, just because he was working hard, in case he wanted to drink hot tea and couldn't spare time to wait for the water to boil, and even running to the kitchen to fetch water would have to be wasted, so he needed a maid in case of emergency.
And because the maid is on duty at the bottom of the corridor in the wind and snow, it is inevitable that she will be hungry and thirsty, so there are also night guards in the kitchen at night, which is a combination of a servant woman and a little maid.
As for the fact that there is only one maid and the male host at night, it seems that there is a bit of a lonely man and a widow outside the window, and it is not considered at all by the spring return, except for the gentle and soft, the maids on duty are all their own people who return to the spring, and they are not suspicious of the use of people, and the hostess gave them a high degree of trust without reservation. Even if it is Herou, who has worked in the garden for so many years, how can he not understand the temperament of the male owner? Acting will never offend Lan Ting's rebellion, and the matter of melon fields and plums in the spring return originally thought that it would not happen.
What if the man is not strong-willed and is tempted?
That's not something that Chungui thinks can be guarded against, if Uncle Zhao really wants to have an affair with the maid, she can't stop it even if she arranges ten people to be on duty together.
So at the right time on this day, Herou replaced Qingping for an hour at night, she was supposed to be in the corridor by the smoke cage to listen to the dispatch, and she did wait for the order of Lanting to "serve tea", but after "serving tea", Miss Herou did not follow the rules and retreated, but just stood in Uncle Zhao's warm pavilion, and began to untie her clothes with a shy face and a blurred look......
Uncle Zhao took a sip of tea and hurried to write an article, not noticing that the maid was doing this bold thing, until Miss Herou was ready to dress him for him
Untie ......
When Chungui arrived, of course Herou would not still be half-exposed and undressed, but the momentum of confusion seemed to have not faded, and she changed her posture of straight waist when she knelt and made a mistake, this time she was delicate and weak, and her cheeks were red as if she was about to ooze blood, and from afar, Chungui could see that she was short of breath and her heartbeat was like thunder.
The state is very abnormal.
Lan Ting also seemed to be really angry this time, his face was like a layer of ice, and the ice ballast could seep under his eyes, and Chungui inexplicably felt that this anger was not only aimed at Herou.
"You're here." These words were said to her, but she couldn't hear the smell of gunpowder, and she was calm enough to be gloomy, but Chungui just felt that this voice seemed to come from a thousand-year-old well, and it could make people shiver for no reason.
She didn't know why she was suddenly a little angry, and she couldn't understand Uncle Zhao's depressed mood when he was almost lightly depressed, what a bad thing it was! Herou is not the servant girl she chose for Uncle Zhao, even if she sees that this girl has exceeded her duty, but she can't scold and punish her, and she can be accused of being jealous, can she still control her self-recommendation pillow? It's the middle of the night on a cold day, digging her out of the hot quilt for this bad thing, and I don't know who to send the evil fire in my belly, Uncle Zhao is weird!
Grandma Ting, who got up and didn't get out of breath, completely lost her reasoning ability.
So he also coldly took words to fill in the "thousand-year-old well": "I'm here." ”
Even if he felt that Mama Fei was looking directly at her, she couldn't recover her deferential posture when she returned to the spring, and said "If the husband is angry, don't be angry." Retreat and whisper. The dogma of the internal training was forgotten in the old man Zhou Gong.
Lan Ting raised his eyes again to look at the spring return, and for some reason his expression seemed to reveal momentary anxiety and sorrow, but his emotions were really fleeting, and the grandmother who was vomiting was not aware at all.
"Since the eldest grandmother is here, Herou, you can repeat what you just shouted about injustice."
After Lan Ting's explanation, it seemed that he also felt that the atmosphere in the warm pavilion was particularly irritating, and he no longer sat behind the book like a chief judge, he got up and paced to the side of the screen, pushed open half of the originally closed window, and took a deep breath of the unique winter night, with heavy frost and cold air, the dark outside the window, just the clouds covering the moonlight, and the endless black clouds were like unfathomable human hearts.
There was only one embroidered screen separated by each other, both from the constant voice and from the lights, but Lan Ting inexplicably felt that this barrier was very strong, and the uneasiness in his heart was getting worse.
For a long time, he turned his back to the lamp and faced Sen Han.
Chungui endured his vomiting and listened to the gentle grievances: "The slave and maid have made a big mistake and dare not quibble, but the slave and maid know the rules of the government, how dare they make such a shameless mistake?" Indeed...... Indeed......"
The person kneeling on the ground began to sob, but the rhyme and tone of the voice were still delicate and charming, which made the sobbing like a moan, and even Chungui felt red and heartbeat when he listened to it.
It's not normal, Miss Herou is too abnormal, Grandma Ting's sanity finally recovered a little, and a word popped up in her mind like an enlightenment, which came from an idle book that she secretly bought from the merchant's hand when she was young and ignorant, she actually didn't understand it very well at that time, so she remembered it very well, and it didn't seem to dawn until then.
Aphrodisiac!
This girl seems to be a symptom of drinking aphrodisiac!!
But if Herou decides to recommend herself for a pillow seat, the aphrodisiac should be in Uncle Zhao's tea, right? Isn't it possible to drink so much courage for yourself???
However, Chun Gui really couldn't figure out whether the records in the idle book were apocryphal, so she was silent for the time being, listening to the gentle narration.
"The slave and maid don't know what's wrong, they serve tea to the uncle, and their minds are confused, and they feel that their whole body is as hot as the heat, and even their hearts are burned in ......a panic."
Seeing Grandma Ting's ignorant face, Mama Fei couldn't help but ask on her behalf: "When you were on duty tonight, what did you drink and eat, and who sent you food?" ”
"The slave maid just felt that it was cold, so she asked Chu'er to go to the kitchen to get a bowl of white fungus soup, and then ate the soup and rice sent from the kitchen at dinner."
"Grandma, Herou has never known the rules and regulations over the years, and has not made any mistakes, today's incident is really strange, the slave suspects that someone has moved in Herou's diet, and it is recommended that the eldest grandmother immediately call Chu'er and others to investigate."
Chungui's reason has been completely returned, and he took a deep look at Herou, and then sat in the chair that Lan Ting had just "abandoned", very good, since Uncle Zhao is unwilling to preside, let her preside over it, and see how this aphrodisiac farce came to be, and how the means of Miss Herou were born.
