Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Key
Shen Jing retracted his gaze and turned to Qiu Yan, "Take me to see Lin'er!" β
Liang Ju saw that Shen Jing ignored himself from beginning to end, and his heart was angry and anxious, and he said to Shen Jing, who was about to get up: "Grandfather and grandmother will be home in a few days, knowing that you are like this, I will not like it." β
When Shen Jing heard this, she sat down again, thinking that she didn't care if others liked it or not! But in the end, she was depressed in her heart and wanted to vent her mouth, she asked in a cold tone: "Do you know that I am like this?" What happened to me? β
"For the sake of a subordinate who is so popular." Liang Ju frowned.
Liang Ju was really worried that his grandfather and grandmother didn't like Shen Jing, they didn't like Shen in the first place, and they were very angry when they knew about this marriage. Now that she has a crush on Shen Jing, she naturally hopes that her grandparents will like her too, seeing that they are about to get home, if Shen Jing does too much, it will leave a worse impression on them.
Shen Jing sneered and sneered: "The reason why Xiao Xuan went to find Aunt Guan was because he suspected that Aunt Guan would harm me, and now that she is dead, there is no evidence, can I cancel my suspicion of Aunt Guan?" If she really wants to harm me, why should I keep her? β
Liang Ju was asked, and when he saw Aunt Guan's appearance just now, his words were not as firm as before, "She shouldn't be that kind of person, otherwise you've been in the door for so long, and you haven't seen her do anything!" You just need to punish it appropriately, I saw the sachet, there is nothing wrong with it. β
"Probably not?" Shen looked at Liang Ju like a fool, and suddenly felt that the occasional idea of waiting for him to grow up was really a joke, he was too naΓ―ve.
"Then I'm going to rule this out!" Shen Jing got up again and said as he walked: "Xiao Xuan is just a girl with you, and she is indeed a sister with me." Aunt Guan is a pillow person to you, isn't she just a concubine to me? She'd better be clean, or I, Shen Jing, won't let her go. β
Liang Ju was stunned, these words came out of Shen Jing's mouth, which made him feel that it was an illusion, such a Shen Jing was too angry, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
Mother Hu looked at Liang Ju with a worried face, and followed Shen Jing out. When she got outside, Mother Hu persuaded her: "Grandma, you can't talk to your uncle like this, it will make your uncle dislike." β
Seeing that Shen Jing didn't react, Mother Hu said again: "What my uncle said is also right, I think it's also for you, I heard that the old marquis is decisive, if he really doesn't like you, maybe he will do something?" Uncle treats you well during this time, and you can't be willful again. β
Shen Jing was very irritable when she heard it, if she didn't know that Mother Hu was sincere to herself, she really wanted to yell and shut up. But at this moment, she still spoke out to stop Mother Hu's chatter, "Okay, Mother Hu, I have my own measure." I don't care if my uncle likes me or not, if you were the one who had the accident this time, I would do it even more. β
Hu's mother disagreed, "My young lady, I'm a subordinate anyway, I'm not worth it, I know that Miss has this heart, and the old slave is dumbfounded." β
"Yuzhong," Shen Jing was helpless, "what do you mean by doing this for my good, let me grovel and live." If my uncle is really that kind of person, how can I be worthy of being like Shen Jing. β
Mother Hu heard that what she said made sense, but she couldn't reply for a while. But Qiu Yan echoed on the side: "That's it, Mama Hu, Miss is so right, don't punish those concubines well, people think that Miss is easy to bully, what should I do if I climb on her head in the future?" β
Although Qiu Yan's thoughts are not as good as Shen Jing's intentions, it is okay for her to have this awareness, and she has to flatter a man what to do if she is bullied.
When Aunt Guan was interrogated just now, Shen Jing had already asked Qiu Yan to find Qin Wu and asked him to arrest Lin'er. If Aunt Guan does something unseemly, she always needs a helper, otherwise she will attract attention as a woman in the house.
As Aunt Guan's personal girl, Lin'er has a 90% chance of becoming Aunt Guan's accomplice, even if it is 10% impossible, then Lin'er must know something.
Lin'er was locked in the West Chamber, next door to Xiaoxuan's body. When Shen Jing entered, Lin'er sat on the ground tremblingly, and when she saw her enter, she immediately knelt up.
"Madame spared her life, but Miss Xiaoxuan died because of me, but I really didn't mean to." Lin'er kowtowed and said.
Qiu Yan moved a stool to sit down for Shen Jing, just like Aunt Guan, Shen Jing also looked at Lin'er with the same eyes, Lin'er lowered her head, but she couldn't ignore the gaze above her head, she trembled even more.
"Why did your master and servant kill Xiao Xuan? Can a single miss cover up all crimes? The silence was almost over, and Shen Jing spoke.
Although Lin'er was flustered, she had already made a good confession with Aunt Guan, and although she was afraid at this time, she still said stiffly: "The slave didn't dare to deceive Madame, but it was because she had a verbal dispute with Miss Xiaoxuan, and then she killed her by mistake." β
"How long have you been with your master?" Shen Jing suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
Lin'er was stunned for a moment, without a trace of relaxation in her heart, and replied truthfully: "I followed my master at the age of eight, and now it's almost ten years." β
"Aunt Guan's mother's family used to be in business, but then the business failed, and the family was forced to commit suicide in debt, and she was the only one left, I don't know which business she used to do." Shen Mirror chatted with Lin'er, and everyone in the room didn't understand what Shen Jing was asking for.
Lin'er was even more foggy, and could only answer mechanically: "It's a pharmacy." β
Shen Jing nodded, "To put it nicely, that's the business of curing diseases and saving people," Seeing Lin'er's confused appearance, Shen Jing suddenly smiled, changed his words, and said: "Xiao Xuan next door was murdered to death by your master and servant, from saving people to harming people, aren't you afraid that ghosts will knock on the door in the middle of the night?" β
Shen Jing said in the end, her voice suddenly raised, Lin'er was startled, and thinking about the dead Xiao Xuan, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body, and tears were scared out, but she still said stubbornly: "Madam killed the slave maid and gave Sister Xiaoxuan a burial!" β
"Heh......" Shen Jing stood up, walked in front of Lin'er, squatted down, and said word by word: "Although you are loyal, you don't have a kind heart, so you are not worthy." β
After Shen Jing finished speaking, he sat back down, his tone returned to the previous chat, and he asked in a homely manner, "Do you still have relatives at home?" β
Lin'er's heart was tossed up and down by Shen Jing, and at this time she replied reflexively: "I was sold, and I lost contact with my family after that." β
Shen Jing sighed, "That is, your master is your relative, one is prosperous, and one is lost," after saying this, he suddenly changed his curious tone and asked, "How is Aunt Guan treating you?" β
Lin'er nodded, "Okay." β
"Is it as good as having me to treat people? Do you imagine that if you were the dead Xiao Xuan, would Aunt Guan seek justice for you like this? β
Lin'er was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said she didn't know, but she knew in her heart that Aunt Guan wouldn't.
Mother Hu and Qiu Yan glanced at each other, thinking that their young lady was going to rebel against Lin'er.
"It's so obvious that you don't know yet?" Shen Mirror heard the joke, "Then I'll tell you, no, your master won't do this for you, it's not worth it." β
Lin'er couldn't help but ask, "Is that little sister Xuan worthy of being like this?" β
Shen Jing didn't blame Lin'er for being rude, but nodded without hesitation, "It's worth it, Xiao Xuan died for me, and I don't worry about losing anything, even if I lose it, I should lose it, after all, it's not as important as Xiao Xuan." β
Lin'er didn't understand it, but looking at Madame's actions, she didn't doubt the truth of what she said.
"I'll give you a chance now, as long as you recruit you honestly, I will punish you lightly, and at most sell it," Shen Jing said this, deliberately paused, and then changed his tone and said: "If you don't want it, maybe I will send your master and servant to the official mansion, maybe...... It also makes you die unexpectedly. β
Lin'er shut up and stopped talking, her inner defense line had collapsed, Madame was so powerful, every word hit the point, she didn't dare to answer, for fear of saying something wrong.
"You destroyed the sachet that was used to harm me, but you should remember how to do it, make another one! I'd like to see what kind of pair of phoenixes they are. β
Lin'er shook her head vigorously, "I didn't make that sachet." β
"Hmph......" Seeing Lin'er's reaction so big, Shen Jing struck while the iron was hot, "It seems that you still want this opportunity, then you can be honest!" What's wrong with that sachet that makes you not hesitate to kill. β
Lin'er was very scared, Madame was too smart, she and Aunt Guan didn't say anything, but she could recognize the key. At this time, Shen Jing said again: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, Aunt Guan won't say it, but I will check, I will find out one day, and then I can only blame yourself for not seizing the opportunity." β
Lin'er still didn't speak, and Shen Jing said again: "Aunt Guan can kill Xiao Xuan, and she will also kill you in order not to leave future troubles, after all, the dead will shut up, otherwise with my actions, she will definitely be suspicious of you, what if you say it?" β
Lin'er was frightened this time, she thought about it, with what she knew about Aunt Guan, she would indeed do this.
"Aunt Guan's mother's family used to make medicine, and Mrs. is so smart that she can guess it regularly." Lin'er spoke, and just like that, she stopped talking.
Shen Jing was stunned for a moment, Lin'er didn't seem to say anything, but it was useful to say it. She calmed down and thought about it, and suddenly figured out the key, and immediately stood up, "Heh, it's really a femme fatale!" β
Qiu Yan and Mother Hu looked at each other, not understanding how Lin'er could make Shen Jing react this way when she said that it was useless.
Shen Jing looked at Lin'er, "Is this the mastermind of Aunt Guan?" β
Lin'er knew that Shen Jing had reacted, and she could only sigh in her heart that her wife was too smart, how could her master fight. At this time, she shook her head, "Madame understands, Lin'er has been with her master for so many years, and she still cares about her feelings." β
"Heh......" Shen Jing smiled indifferently, "Then you can go back!" See what your master will do to you. β
