Chapter 177: The One Who Drugged
It's not that Chungui hasn't paid attention to Chu'er, but looking horizontally and vertically, she is a little girl who is the same on the outside, just a little clever, she can't think of any seamless conspiracy and trickery, and she doesn't have how insatiable greedy ambitions, and she won't push it out if she is cheap, it can't be said that she has bad intentions, but it is inevitable that there is a fallacy in universal human nature, and she can't be indifferent in the face of temptation.
Noble virtues and vicious dispositions are actually not common in the world, and being like Chu'er is more in line with all sentient beings.
So Chungui never thought of "cutting the grass and roots" of this little girl who had been collected by Herou, but she didn't plan to trust her, she was still doing trivial errands in the garden, and she was getting closer and closer to Herou.
Dig into the reason or can't escape the word laziness, it's not difficult to send Chu'er, but even if you send this one, you can't control Harmony and find a new accomplice, and once Harmony also strengthens her vigilance and behaves more and more sneakily, won't it make Grandma Ting waste more thoughts?
In short, Chungui didn't expect that the little girl she didn't think of would suddenly take on an important role and become an accomplice who disturbed her sleep.
It seems that the problem of laziness has really changed, and Chungui has once again made up his mind.
"The white fungus soup was given to Herou by your own hands?" got up and dissipated, and Chungui completely recovered his pleasant appearance, which is the premise of the fairness of the host, and he has to be watched by Mama Fei, as well as the yin and yang weird person across the painting screen, to show his impartial attitude.
"Yes, at that time, Sister Herou had to wait outside the warm pavilion, so she asked the slave maid to go to the kitchen and fetch the white fungus soup rewarded by the grandmother."
This answer is also treacherous.
The white fungus soup boiled for the slave maid on duty at night was originally a benefit prepared for the spring return, but now it is this benefit that is most likely to be manipulated, Chu'er emphasized the five words "grandma reward", the spearhead is clear, and she can't be said to be slandered if she is seriously investigated, how to deal with it depends on the next play of the spring return.
If you can't hold your breath, you will immediately be angry, and in the eyes of people, you may be a thief, annoyed and angry.
"You weren't on duty in the kitchen tonight, so why didn't you rest in the middle of the night?" Chungui is still pleasant, and even her tone is more like gossip, she is not only concerned about the two maids who are kneeling and standing in front of her, but also does not miss Mama Fei, who is standing by and watching, as if with a look of some agreement.
Identity? It seems that this turmoil has nothing to do with this bodhisattva at least.
As soon as the corner of his eye was withdrawn from Mama Fei, Chun Hui listened to Chu'er reply: "The slave maid is not worth the night, but because of the favor of Sister Herou, I don't know how to repay it at ordinary times, so I thought that it would be better to accompany Sister Herou when she was on duty at night, and I could also help run errands." ”
The little girl said with a little shrinkage in her expression, lowered her head and buried her face in the shadows, Chungui saw that she shrank her toes straight back, shouldn't it be all disguise, how old is this girl? Usually see a servant woman with a round waist and a thick waist will avoid one side, for fear of being scolded for not having rules, it has been four months since the spring return, and I have never said a word to Chu'er alone, it is really better to reprimand the birdfinch that flew from nowhere in the garden, at this time I have the courage to peck millet in the palm of Grandma Ting's palm.
It is Chu'er who runs errands for Herou, and it is already a well-known fact that she was collected in the garden, and the suspicion of adding "condiments" to Herou's food is very small, and the person who handled it is also the servant and maid who is on duty in the kitchen today, and they are also going to be summoned for questioning, and the two of them are more timid than Chu'er, even if Chungui and Yan Yue
color, these two people are crying, dodging and dodging, and they are hiding it at a glance.
Chungui had a headache, she was not familiar with these two servants and maids, and the food she and Lan Ting's food in the past did not go through these rough slaves and maids, it was nothing more than because the maids needed to take turns to stay on duty at night during this period of time to make this arrangement, in short, these two people were not her henchmen, but the two of them at this time clearly did not dare to say anything, very much like being intimidated by her obscenity.
Seeing that even Mama Fei's expression showed deep suspicion, Chun Gui didn't dare to perfunctory when she felt that something was wrong, so she had to put on a serious face and say solemnly: "What do you say is unknown?" What is there to dare not say! ”
The two of them became more and more frightened, especially the little girl, whose mouth began to fall straight from her eyes, as if the grandmother of the court was as terrifying as a ghost judgment of the king of Hades, and her little body was trembling with fright.
But let Chu'er rush to open her mouth: "When the slave and maid went to the kitchen, they didn't see the person on duty, but they saw that Sister Jiaozhi was there, and just put the lid of the steamer up, and the slave and maid were alert, and hid outside and didn't go in, and saw Sister Jiaozhi go to the house where the next person lived, and the slave and maid followed far behind, and saw that she had left something under the root of the tree before entering the house, and the slave and maid picked it up, it was this." ”
After speaking, he took out the object and held it in his hand, it was a small porcelain bottle, and the mouth of the bottle was blocked with a wooden stopper.
Mama Fei took the porcelain bottle first and handed it to Chungui, who inspected it and saw that the bottle contained a pill the size of half a fingernail, pearl-colored, and smelled of a faint aroma.
The truth seems to be clear.
Chun Gui's heart was cold, but the situation made her have to continue the interrogation work, so she had to let Mama Fei also inspect the pills, and humbly asked: "Mama knows what kind of medicine this is?" ”
How can Mama Fei tell the authenticity of the aphrodisiac? But this question does not have to be clear, and suggested: "Grandma did not arrange Jiaozhi to be on duty, why did she go to the kitchen in the middle of the night?" And Chu'er saw her move the steamer first, and also witnessed her throw away this object, why didn't the eldest grandmother call Jiaozhi for interrogation, and knew the effect of this pill. ”
Finally at this time, the two servants and maids on duty in the kitchen finally didn't dare to hide anything anymore, and confirmed Chu'er's words, confessing that Jiaozhi had indeed been to the kitchen earlier, and separated the two of them, they all knew that Jiaozhi was the eldest grandmother's dowry maid, and now she is one of the big people who dare not offend in the garden.
All the human and physical evidence points to Jiao Zhi's manipulation in the gentle white fungus soup, with the intention of framing her and being blamed by the uncle, but who instructed Jiao Zhi?
Mama Fei's expression was solemn, and the return of spring was also a whole cut.
It was only at this time that she vaguely knew why Uncle Zhao was so yin and yang that Herou was not stupid, even if she wanted to implement the status of "quasi-aunt", it was impossible to rush to recommend herself at the critical time when Uncle Zhao was preparing for the exam. And Herou looked at the situation abnormally, Uncle Zhao should first conclude that Herou was calculated.
In the garden of reprimand, who else dares to calculate and be gentle now, who can calculate and be gentle, and who has such a motive?
Now that Jiaozhi has been tried, although such as Qingping and Mei Jealousy, etc., they all know that this so-called dowry maid is not the confidant of the eldest grandmother, and has been guarded against by the eldest grandmother, but in Fei
In the eyes of Mama and other servants of the Taishi Mansion, they don't care whether the Gu family has the same heart as the eldest grandmother, just as they regard Chu'er as a gentle person, Jiaozhi must and can only stand in the same camp as the eldest grandmother.
Uncle Zhao shouldn't have this opinion, but does he suspect that the plan to return in spring is to kill two birds with one stone?
At least under the anger, before calmly scrutinizing the ins and outs, Chungui thought that Uncle Zhao did have such suspicions.
He Rou's seemingly shallow plan, I didn't expect it to really be effective, the root cause is that she also has insight into the relationship between Lan Ting and Chungui, and at this time, it is not really a mutual trust.
Although Chun Gui thought of the root of the problem, she still couldn't help but vomit in her heart, she thought that she was not complaining about Uncle Zhao's distrust, but annoyed that Uncle Zhao was looking down on her wisdom, if she really wanted to clean up and be soft, she could take advantage of Jiaozhi? Not to mention that Jiaozhi can't be loyal to her, even if she just secretly instigates Jiaozhi's greed, she will never make this matter full of loopholes and leave so many human and physical evidence.
Can this successfully frame Harmony? can only expose Jiaozhi's crimes, and let her be speechless.
But now is not the time to just vomit, Chungui must clear his suspicions.
She really neglected Jiaozhi, thinking that now because of Guerlain's sincerity, Jiaozhi has someone around Jiaozhi to persuade and watch, and she will definitely be able to restrain herself, and Jiaozhi does not have any intention of making waves during this time, once it seems to be trying to provoke and Rou, and because of Guerlain's persuasion, she finally died down, and Chungui really didn't figure out why she would go to the kitchen today, but was used by Harmony to design.
This mystery can only be explained by Jiaozhi herself.
At this time, Jiaozhi had already fallen asleep, and it took a while to dress neatly and come to the trial, and she was obviously surprised to see this formation in the warm pavilion, and a pair of eyes seemed to be glued to Herou's body, as if she was looking at some rare treasure, so that she neglected the grandmother who was sitting in a precarious position, and did not pay attention to the unkind Fei's grandmother.
Listening to the question, Jiao Zhi did not deny that she went to the kitchen: "The slave maid did go to the kitchen, but because she fell asleep and felt hungry, she thought that the kitchen was on duty these days, so she went to see what food could fill her stomach." ”
When she asked why she had to break up the night watch, she could justify herself: "The two servants and maids were sitting beside them, eyeing each other, and it was inconvenient for the slaves and maids to rummage through for food, so they simply broke away from the two of them first." ”
It wasn't until Chungui showed the evidence that Jiaozhi was stunned: "Who said that this object belongs to a slave?" The slave has never seen it! ”
"Chu'er said that you moved the steamer, followed you all the way, and saw with your own eyes that you threw this object under the roots of the tree outside the house, I asked you, did you leave the medicine in this bottle in the gentle white fungus soup."
Jiaozhi shouted loudly: "Grandma, don't just listen to people's nonsense, the slave maid just went to the kitchen to get some food......"
"What did you eat?" Chungui asked.
Jiaozhi was speechless.
Chungui shouted: "Don't tell the truth yet! ”
Mama Fei on the side couldn't help but open her mouth coldly: "This Diao maid is full of nonsense, the old slave seems that the eldest grandmother does not need to be tried again, and it will be confirmed tomorrow that this pill can charm people's minds, even if Jiaozhi denies it in every possible way, she can't distinguish this conclusive crime, although she is the eldest grandmother's dowry maid, but she dares to act like poisoning and drugged in food, how can she be spared?" When sending the second lady to be punished severely according to the rules of the government. ”
