Chapter 178: Suspect Confession
Jiaozhi only then left an opinion that there was still a figure in the warm pavilion, and she felt that things were not simple, even if she was rude and arrogant, in the end, she was a slave and a maidservant who had never forgotten her awe, knowing that this was in the Taishi Mansion, and the second lady had the power to be a housekeeper, so she really had to be severely punished, and I was afraid that even the eldest grandmother could not stop it.
There is no quibble at all: "Grandma, what is poisoned and drugged, the slave and maid don't have the guts, besides, since the slave and maid accompanied the eldest grandmother out of the pavilion, whether in Fenyang or in the Taishi Mansion, they have not left the inner house one step, where did the poison come from?" ”
Mama Fei glanced at the spring return, and said in her heart, but she threatened it, she really had no way to get these dirty drugs/things, but she couldn't keep the eldest grandmother handing it over to her, and the eldest grandmother was a housewife who had servants in the house, and she had her own way to make medicine.
"If you don't tell the truth, how can I judge this case, who is innocent and who is the culprit." Chungui ignored Mama Fei's eyes, and naturally she didn't insist that Jiaozhi was guilty, if she only cared about clearing herself, the result would definitely be difficult to get rid of.
"The slave and maid tell the truth, don't dare to hide a word!" Jiaozhi finally made up her mind: "The slave maid is listening to people's discussions, and they all say that the uncle didn't let Herou go out with Cao's mother, and left her in the garden, which is to decide the meaning of taking her into the house in the future, the slave and maid are very unhappy for the grandmother, thinking that the grandmother just entered the house, Cao's mother and Herou forced the grandmother to drink her tea, and said that Herou is the first lady to choose the person, not to see the grandmother in his eyes, Herou is so unreckless, where will he respect the grandmother in the future?" ”
Of course, this statement is not sincere, Jiaozhi is jealous and soft, and it is not because of the maintenance of spring return.
But of course, the spring return did not debunk it at this time, because this is not the point at all.
"Especially this time, because of the upcoming New Year, the uncle moved back from the outer courtyard, and the grandmother actually arranged for Herou to wait in turn, and the slave maid was anxious, thinking that if Herou used this opportunity to play those unsavory means to cook the raw rice into mature rice, there would be no room for redemption in this matter, so ...... It just so happened that the slave maid heard that there was a taboo in the mouth, that is, he couldn't eat apricots, and once he was stained with some apricot blossoms, he would have a rash on his body. The slave maid thought that if she added minced apricot meat to her food, she wouldn't notice it, and when she ate it, she had a rash on her body that was itchy and painful, so how could she be on duty? Today's slaves
When I went to the kitchen, I did add some chopped apricots to the white fungus soup, but I never added anything else. ”
He stared at Herou and Chu'er fiercely: "Grandma, don't listen to them, what kind of poison that charms the mind, the slave maid doesn't have the ability to obtain such a poisonous thing, they must be framing the slave maid." ”
Chungui looked at Mama Fei: "Chu'er and Jiaozhi have their own opinions, I believe in Qiaozhi's confession more, but presumably Mama also has her own opinions." ”
Fei Mama said coldly: "Indeed, the old slave believes in Harmony and Rou, she is the person chosen by Mrs. Zhu, over the years, and has always known the rules, but Jiaozhi, since the old slave came to the garden, but also looked at her words and deeds in the eyes, has always been lazy by nature and frivolous, without the duty of a slave and a maid, the confession just now revealed that she is indeed jealous and resentful of Harmony, and has a heart of evil, if the grandmother insists on listening to Jiaozhi's confession, the old slave does not dare to agree. ”
Mrs. Zhu seems to be a perfect person who will never go wrong, no matter how long she has been gone, in the eyes of a group of slaves and maids in the Taishi Mansion, she is still a famous princess, and the person she likes and trusts is naturally a model of virtuous and virtuous virtue, and there is no flaw in her conduct.
Chungui expressed his deep respect for Mrs. Zhu's mother-in-law.
But she didn't give in, she would let the so-called filial piety and etiquette cover up right and wrong, not to mention that Herou was just a slave trained by Mrs. Zhu, even if she was the daughter raised by Mrs. Zhu, this time she must uncover the scheming and shoddy nature under the surface of her conformity, regardless of whether it will defend Mrs. Zhu's residual prestige.
"Since Mama has a disagreement, then I can only interrogate Qingming, first ask Mama to supervise, and go to the kitchen steamer to fill another bowl of white fungus soup."
This matter was quickly completed, the steaming "evidence" was presented to the "court", Chungui stirred the white fungus soup with a soup spoon, and it took some eyes to see that there was indeed a very finely cut apricot inside, she beckoned to Mama Fei to take a look: "There are indeed preserved apricots in the white fungus soup, which proves that what Jiaozhi said is true." ”
There is no need to defend herself kindly, Mama Fei did it for her with righteousness: "What does this mean?" Maybe it was Jiaozhi who put the dried apricots and lewd medicine in the white fungus soup in order to get rid of the crime, she never found Chu'er, but the servants and maids on night duty in the kitchen were
It was broken away by her, didn't she think of a way out in advance, in case of an incident, the uncle found that there was a difference in Herou's demeanor, and when he delved into the matter, she only said apricots. ”
"What is in the white fungus soup, let Qiao Zhuang see it clearly tomorrow, how can this be a reason to get rid of the crime? Mama neglected one thing, taking dried apricots with gentle will cause rashes, but she is safe now, what does this mean? Chungui patiently inspired Mama Fei: "It shows that Herou didn't take white fungus soup at all, in this case, how can she be confused by drugs and confused to do shameless deeds?" ”
Mama Fei was stunned for a moment, and her thoughts of defending on behalf of her husband converged, and she couldn't help but look at Herou's eyes with deep suspicion.
Herou could only defend herself: "The slave maid listened to Chu'er say Jiaozhi's strange behavior, and she really didn't dare to take white fungus soup anymore, but because of her dry mouth, she still asked Chu'er to go to the kitchen to bring hot water to quench her thirst. ”
"This testimony is very different from the previous one, why did you tell the truth first, obviously you didn't take white fungus soup, but you insist that there is a famous name in this kind of food?" Although Chungui was in the tone of questioning, he didn't intend to listen to Herou's defense at all, and asked Chu'er: "Did you tell Herou what you witnessed?" ”
Chu'er hurriedly said: "The slave picked up the bottle of medicine, I don't know what the effect is, of course I will tell Sister Herou, Sister Herou didn't dare to use the white fungus soup again, and asked the slave to take it and splash it, and then let the slave go to the kitchen to carry the hot water." ”
"Since you have taken precautions, how could you not think that Jiaozhi would also put medicine in hot water, pour the hot water and refresh the water and boil a pot without such a waste, since you are bent on planning for Herou and want to repay her for your kindness, you will not be lazy in these little things." Chungui glanced at the flustered look on Chu'er's face, and felt that he was simply invincible: "Mama think about it, the person who Jiaozhi wants to design slander is Herou, of course he will not drop the medicine in the hot water, you must know that the white fungus soup is specially prepared for the servants and maids, the uncle has always disliked this kind of sweet soup, but the hot water is likely to be used by the uncle, if the medicine falls in the hot water, wouldn't it make the uncle fall into the plot, how can you not get to the bottom of it, no matter how stupid Jiaozhi is, it is impossible not to think of the consequences of doing this." ”
The facts are already very clear, Herou did take aphrodisiacs, but it was no one else who calculated her.
Mama Fei's gaze towards Gentle finally became stern.
