At this time, Qi got up and walked to Chef Xue's side, glanced at her coldly, and said.

"Chef Xue, how do you know that the person who knocked out Shui Lu was not the maid who was waiting in Ruiyue Courtyard? As you said earlier, when Aunt Hong's fetal movements were uncomfortable, the maids and women who were waiting for her were in a mess.

At that time, Shui Lu was instructed by Aunt Hong to go to the small kitchen to check, and you happened to go to the small kitchen to carry water, and saw Shui Lu faint and fall to the ground, isn't it too much of a coincidence?"

As Qi said, what Chef Xue said was indeed too much of a coincidence, Shui Lu got Aunt Hong's instructions and went to the small kitchen to check, and then Chef Xue went to the small kitchen to bring water, and saw Shui Lu faint to the ground.

Whether Shui Lu pretended to be stunned or was knocked unconscious, Shui Lu didn't say it, and Gu Yutang didn't know.

But Gu Yutang felt that Aunt Hong's fetal miscarriage must be inextricably linked with the girl in Shuilu.

Shui Lu is Aunt Hong's maid who serves her closely, when the fetus has a miscarriage, at such a critical juncture, Aunt Hong doesn't leave Shui Lu by her side to serve, what do you send out? Could it be that Aunt Hong intends to boil the water green?

When Chef Xue was asked by Qi Shi like this, she panicked on the spot, and when she replied, she looked at a loss on her face.

"Mrs. Qi, when you say that, is it possible that you are doubting the old body? The green girl and the old body have no grievances, why should I stun her? Besides, what good will I do if I knock her out? ”

Although Chef Xue was flustered in her heart, fortunately, her mind was not confused, and she was able to argue a few words for herself with reason.

Indeed, as she said, she has no grievances with Shui Lu, she will not stun Shui Lu, and there is no benefit for her to stun Shui Lu.

Unless, unless the Xue Chef in front of her found out that Shui Lu had secretly done something in the small kitchen, and she didn't want to startle the snake, she knocked Shui Lu unconscious.

Gu Yutang listened to Chef Xue's defense, and made many deductions in his heart, just hoping to find out the truth of this matter.

However, since this incident happened in the small kitchen of Ruiyue Courtyard, and the servant woman serving in the small kitchen was not the only one who served in the kitchen, Chef Xue was the only one, so she still called the others to come and listen to the other people's thoughts.

After Gu Yutang made up his mind, he persuaded Feng Laoan, who was sitting on a high seat.

"Grandmother Feng, instead of pursuing the sins of these maids and servants here, why don't you bring the maids and servants who are serving in Ruiyue Courtyard together, so that we can ask them clearly and see what went wrong?"

As soon as Gu Yutang's words came out, Qi Shi objected on the spot.

"Third girl, now that Aunt Hong is giving birth, if we just bring the maid who is serving in Ruiyue Courtyard together, if Aunt Hong finds that there is no familiar person around her, I am afraid that it will be dangerous when she gives birth!"

Before Feng Lao'an could speak, the Qi family objected to his proposal, could it be that in this matter, the Qi family also came to intervene?

Before Feng Lao'an could speak, Gu Yutang replied on the spot: "Mrs. Qi, now that Aunt Hong is accompanied by the sixth uncle in the house, as well as the doctor invited by Huimin Pharmacy, and Mrs. Wu, I don't think anything big will happen in the future."

Don't worry about it, or call someone to bring those maids over, and you'll find out when you ask. ”

Feng Lao'an also felt that what Gu Yutang said was reasonable, but Chunyan, who was waiting by his side, had been sent out in advance, and there was no one around him who could use it.

She wanted to borrow Mama Liang, who was serving by Lin's side, so she asked Lin's a few words.

"Old sister, the Chunyan girl who is serving next to me has already gone to do the other things, and the other little girls are all young and can't stand things. Why don't you lend Mama Liang next to you to me and interrogate those girls who are serving in Ruiyue Courtyard?"

When the Lin family heard this, they thought to themselves for a while, Feng Lao'an wanted to borrow Mama Liang, who was serving by her side, didn't he want to pull her into this matter?

She didn't want to meddle in the matter of Aunt Hong's miscarriage, she always felt that this matter was strange, but Feng Lao'an had already opened her mouth, and she couldn't say anything if she didn't lend Mama Liang to her.

After thinking of his idea, Lin Shi instructed Mama Liang who was standing beside him.

"Chunping, since Feng Lao'an wants to borrow you to use it in the past and help her interrogate those little girls, you can go! Just one point, you are a servant woman in the long house after all, and there are some things that are better than not meddler. ”

Mama Liang also knew what the Lin family was hinting at, Aunt Hong was pregnant with the second child in the second room, and now it is still a question whether she can keep it, if the long room is involved, it will be impossible to say at that time.

And Feng Lao'an is still the girl who asked her to judge Ruiyue Courtyard, such a tricky thing, on the one hand, it must be done well, and on the other hand, it is really difficult to involve the long house.

Gu Yutang also knows the difficulties of Mama Liang taking over this matter, Mama Liang is a person from the long room, and it is unreasonable to meddle in these things in the second room, but Feng Lao'an has personally spoken, and if grandmother does not agree, she has to agree.

Otherwise, if it spreads, it will not seem to the outside that my grandmother is stingy and stingy, and she will not even lend it to a servant.

For fear that Mama Liang would not know the severity and be involved in the dispute by the maid, Gu Yutang still mentioned a few words about Mama Liang.

"Mama, no matter what, you are a person from the long house. There are some things that are not within the scope of your old man's ability, so you should not meddle in it again, so as not to offend people who should not be offended, and you will be embarrassed. ”

Mama Liang knew that Gu Yutang was kind when she said this, and with a shallow smile, the folds on her face were all laughing, and she replied: "The third girl's heart, the old slave understands it." The old slave knew what to do, so as not to disappoint the old lady and Feng Lao'an's appreciation of the old slave. ”

The snow was falling heavier and heavier outside, and gusts of cold wind mixed with snowflakes the size of rice grains fell lightly on the eaves, on the trees, and under the porch.

When Mama Liang pushed the door and went out, Gu Yutang specially called the maid and handed her an umbrella.

If you go out in such weather, if you don't pay more attention and let the snowflakes fall on your clothes, and when you enter the house, the snowflakes will melt on your clothes, which will cause you to catch a cold and get sick.

Seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier outside, Feng Lao'an knew that it was inconvenient for the Lin family and Gu Yutang to go back, so he asked the cook lady who was waiting in the small kitchen of the back cover room to set up a silver hanging in the warm pavilion, boil a pot of millet porridge, and when the rice was served, the pickles pickled a few days ago could be used.

It didn't take long for the millet porridge hanging on the silver hanging top to start plopping, and the nearly half-cooked millet porridge splashed out with a plopping sound.

The cook was worried that the spilled rice soup would burn Gu Yutang and the others who were around the silver hanger, so she hurriedly asked someone to bring the lid of the pot and cover it on the silver hanger.

In this way, even if the millet porridge in the silver hanging boils again, it will be on the lid of the pot and will not splash on people's bodies.

After the millet porridge was boiled, the maid who served in the small kitchen brought a stack of soup spoons and bowls, and the cook who boiled the porridge scooped out the millet porridge bowl by bowl and handed it to the various masters in the house.

：

Ah Hua took the millet porridge handed over by the cook, and was about to take out the silver hairpin he was carrying to test the poison, but was stopped by Gu Yutang

"Ah Hua, no need. The pot of millet porridge in the silver hanging was also boiled out by me, and under the noses of so many of us, the cook must not dare to do anything. ”

Ah Hua didn't think so, he still wanted to test the poison with a silver hairpin, and replied to Gu Yutang with a worried face.

"Girl, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. There are so many people in this warm pavilion, who can't keep it up, and quietly put something that shouldn't be added to the silver hanger, the girl's body is important, or allow the slave to test the poison! ”

Ah Hua said, but still took out the silver hairpin he was carrying, took the bowl of rice porridge handed over by the cook before to no one, tried it with the silver hairpin, and found that it was non-toxic, and then handed it to Gu Yutang beside him.

Seeing Ah Hua's cautious appearance, Gu Yutang was relieved and uncomfortable in his heart, and even the rice porridge that he saw boiled out with his own eyes had to be tested for poison, so this meal was really troublesome.

It's just that if the cook has the heart to make hands and feet in the rice porridge, I'm afraid that after using the silver hairpin to test the poison, she won't find anything.

After returning from the back room, Gu Yutang rested in the back room of the east wing. In the house, people caged earth dragons, and people brought in two stoves, and there was still a trace of coldness in the room. I don't know if it's because the windows aren't glued properly, or if there's a leak somewhere in the house, it's just cold.

Gu Yutang couldn't stand the cold, so she asked Ah Hua to move the two stoves to her couch, and stuffed several soup women who had just changed the hot water into her quilt.

But even so, Gu Yutang was still so cold that he shivered in the bed.

Ah Hua sat in front of Gu Yutang's couch, looked at his girl's face flushed, touched his forehead, and found that his girl was burning again.

Hurriedly ordered Da Han to take out a pair of the medicine that Dr. Qin had prescribed for Gu Yutang a few days ago and had not finished drinking, and went to the pantry to decoct the medicine.

Bringing a basin of hot water, Ah Hua soaked the handkerchief, put the handkerchief on Gu Yutang's forehead, and gently called Gu Yutang a few words, "Girl, girl, are you better?" Are you still feeling sick?"

Ah Hua called several times in a row, but Gu Yutang didn't wake up. Ah Hua knew that the girl had a cold this time, and the fever was getting worse and worse, if she didn't invite the doctor in time, she was afraid that the girl would be worried about her life.

Just as Ah Hua sent the little maid to the hall to report the news, Gu Yutang suddenly woke up, barely opened his half-closed eyes, and leaned on the soft pillow behind him with the strength of his elbow.

"Ah Hua, Ah Hua, what are you calling the maid to go to Grandmother's house? She had just rested, so she was going to disturb now, but I was afraid that it would not be appropriate. ”

Gu Yutang said a few words, and Ah Hua hurriedly took off the hot cloth on Gu Yutang's forehead, washed it again in hot water, and hurriedly put it on her forehead again.

"Girl, girl. When, do you still care about disturbing the old lady's rest, you are about to burn out, the slave maid should hurry up and call someone to report to the old lady, and let the old lady quickly invite the doctor into the house! ”

On this side of the hall, the Lin family had just rested, and when Mama Liang was about to turn off the lights, a maid pushed the door in a hurry, and before Mama Liang asked what happened, the maid said.

"Old lady, someone from the east wing called to deliver the news, Miss Ahua said that the third girl had a cold tonight, and the person had already burned, and she was a little confused. Miss Ah Hua didn't dare to make up her mind, so she specially called someone to come over and report the news, asking the old lady to ask for a doctor quickly. ”

Although the little maid who reported the news spoke quickly, the Lin family still heard that Sister Tang had a cold again?

How could I catch a cold again? What are the maids waiting for around me doing, and everyone has already burned and come to report it?

Mama Liang on the side looked at the anger on Lin's face, knowing that Lin's heart was already angry, so she hurriedly reminded her.

"Old lady, the body of the third girl is important. As for the maids who are waiting underneath, let's wait for the third girl's illness to recover before dealing with it!

However, Miss Ah Hua reported the news in time, and after the third girl recovered, the old lady still had to commend her. ”

The anger in Lin's heart surged up all at once, and it was accumulated in his heart, and it seemed that he was about to explode in the next moment. But Sister Tang'er's body is important, and this is not the time for her to get angry and reprimand, so she still commanded Mama Liang beside her.

"Chunping, whether to reward or not, that's all a story later, now Sister Tang'er's body is important, let's go to Huimin Pharmacy and ask the doctor to come back!"

As soon as Lin's voice fell, she asked Mama Liang to find out the big hat she was used to wearing, and after waiting for Lin to put it on, she was ready to send Lin's Qidong wing.

In the ear room behind the back cover room, Qi and Feng Cheng lived in this room, and when they saw that the maid in the hall hurriedly came over to report, Qi knew that Gu Yutang's dead girl was sick again.

Thinking of being in the back room during the day, Gu Yutang asked the maid who was waiting in Ruiyue Courtyard about the appearance of the maid and the mother-in-law, and she probably guessed that Gu Yutang knew about Aunt Hong's miscarriage nine times out of ten, and someone must be a hindrance.

It's just that now it's hard to explain anything based on the words of those maids.

At this time, the wooden door of the transept was pushed open. Coming in with a gust of snow, there are a few stoves in the house, and the curtains have been hung outside, and the inside of this ear room is not too cold, but it still makes people feel a little hot.

The maid who was placed by the Qi family next to Feng Lao'an hurriedly came in, and while Feng Cheng was not in the house, the maid hurriedly said to the Qi family.

"Madam, as you said, Mrs. Lin called the maid to report the third girl's cold. I heard that the third girl had burned up, and she was a little confused, and Mrs. Lin had already called someone to go to Huimin Pharmacy to ask for a doctor. ”

"Old Madam Lin's movements are fast! So quickly, I called someone to call for a doctor. As soon as Qi finished the previous sentence, he continued in the next sentence.

"What I told you to do, how are you doing, can you inform the doctor of Huimin Pharmacy?"
