Text Chapter 191: Interrogation

Maybe there is an ingredient in the medicine to sleep, Du Yu, who drank the medicine, fell asleep in Yi'er's arms after a while, Yi'er saw that he slept sweetly, and left a teardrop in the corner of his eyes, and he felt distressed in his heart, so he wiped it lightly, and then put him on the bed, and Mama Xu covered the futon for him.

In the courtyard, after an interrogation, the Li family was furious. You said that if this was just an accident caused by the carelessness of the servants, but Xiao Du Yu fell from above when he was playing on the small swing he often played outside the Ripple Courtyard and on the shore of Furong Lake, and the small swing was specially built for Du Yu by the Li family, and there was a protective rope on it to fix the body, so that Du Yu would not be able to grasp it unsteadily and fall down, but today it was half of the long rope of the swing that broke from above, and the whole swing collapsed with Xiao Du Yu, which broke Du Yu's head.

This swing is specially built for Du Yu, and the long ropes on both sides are of high quality, strong and wear-resistant hemp rope, how can it be so easy to break? Mama Bian looked at the place where the severed head was, and when Li asked about it, she trembled and said that the severed head was very smooth, but someone deliberately cut it with a sharp blade first, but it was not cut, only a small filament was left, so that when little Du Yu sat on the swing, because of his light body, he would not break at first, but he couldn't swing a few times, and it was naturally broken.

This is a deliberate calculation and conspiracy, Li is furious, even Yi'er is angry, Li immediately called Xu Mama and asked her to investigate this matter thoroughly.

It didn't take long for the Ripple Courtyard to spread to the entire Hou Mansion, and the old lady of Zirui Courtyard was also very angry, and immediately passed the word, saying that although the Furong Lake was close to the Ripple Courtyard, it was out of the courtyard after all, except for the servants of the Ripple Courtyard, the subordinates of the courtyard in other parts of the house had the opportunity to move this trick, so they passed the word to the fourth lady Wei who presided over the collapse, and asked her to regulate the wind direction in the mansion, and be sure to find out about this matter and give an explanation to the long room.

There was such a big event at home, and Du Ziwu took leave from the household yamen early in the afternoon and returned home. Li Shi always remembered that if Du Yu had risen a little higher at that time, she couldn't imagine the consequences, especially after a long time, she still had some lingering palpitations in her heart. Du Ziwu came back, and she found the backbone of the heart, and she was paralyzed on the soft couch, and she didn't want to move anymore.

Du Ziwu was distressed, and after some kind words and persuasion, he went out of the house, called Mama Xu and a servant, and began to personally review the matter.

Yi'er saw that Li was a little in good spirits and helped her to go to bed to rest, so Li grabbed Yi'er's hand and said some gossip in a daze, all of which were recalling some trivial things when she was a child and Du Yu when she was a child.

Yi'er's heart hurts, in the early years, the Li family lost her daughter, and what she has been thinking about for ten years is to find her, and then Yi'er came back, and the Li family got another son, and her wish is fulfilled, but her whole mind is on Yi'er and Du Yu's body, today Du Yu has such a thing, Yi'er knows that she is afraid of self-blame, and failed to take care of him, in fact, it is not only the Li family, even Yi'er is now a little uneasy, and it is difficult to calm down.

Yi'er saw that Li was sleeping soundly, so she set up a thin quilt for her, and gently retreated, but she was worried that she would wake up at any time, so she instructed Zhihua to wait carefully, and then she left the main house.

In the courtyard, Du Ziwu personally sat down, and all the servants and subordinates of the Ripple Courtyard were passed in turn, one by one, the two little girls who Du Yu was waiting close to Juxiang and Xiang'er were tired because they were not careful, Du Yu broke his head, and he had already been rewarded by Du Ziwu, and he was kneeling aside with a white face, although he was sobbing and choking, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Du Ziwu saw Yi'er coming out, beckoned to Yi'er, and waited for Yi'er to get close before saying: "You are engaged, and you will marry in the future, and sooner or later you will be the mother of the family, and you will have to take care of the collapse of the family and manage the slaves of the house." Father knows that you are smart, and he helped your mother take care of family affairs in Beikai back then, but the Ningguo Mansion is a hairpin family, not to mention the backyard of the prefect of Beikaicheng, even the entire Qingxiang Marquis Mansion can't be compared with it, so you have to be mentally prepared first. Today you will stay here and see how your father handled this family matter. ”

Yi'er Fu responded, Lu Fu moved a chair over, Yi'er sat next to Du Ziwu, and quietly watched Du Ziwu interrogate a slave.

The thing about this swing is strange, no one in the courtyard has noticed it from time to time, Du Ziwu interrogated it, and there was no result, until the maid Jing'er said that yesterday evening, I saw a girl with a face sneaky walking in front of the ripple courtyard.

This is the only information that is still useful under this interrogation, but it is also very limited, and it is not a real clue.

But Yi'er was thinking, the servants of this Ripple Courtyard followed the subordinates, and the people who were in charge of the affairs were all those who followed the Li family from Beikaicheng at the beginning, and the rest of the new family children or the newly bought ones from the hands of Renyazi were all carefully observed and screened out by Mama Xu, although it cannot be said that they are all 100% loyal, but if someone dares to have such a vicious mind and deliberately murder the little master, Yier thinks that the possibility is also very low, not to say that this kind of thing is definitely not, but Yier thinks that in comparison, It's more likely that someone else did it.

After this toss, Ju Xiang and Xiang'er were already depressed, Du Ziwu remembered that they were young, and they only hit ten boards per person, but not to mention the hot pain on their buttocks, they have been kneeling for an hour, especially Xiang'er, who has not been kneeling very steadily, and people are a little shaky.

Seeing that Du Ziwu didn't mean to ask them to get up, Yi'er whispered to Lufu and asked her to pour two bowls of hot water for the two little girls.

Du Ziwu sighed, turned his head to look at Yi'er and said, "Your mother is right, you are smart and clever, but this heart is too soft." The Ningguo Mansion is accompanied by hundreds of people, how will you be good in the future with such a kind and soft character? ”

Yi'er said: "The daughter also knows that the reward and punishment should be clear, and the grace and power are given, these two maids are waiting for their younger brother to make a mistake, and they should be punished, but they are young after all, and they are already scared when they encounter such a thing, and the daughter also sees that they really can't stand it, but they are given a bowl of water to drink, and the father wants to punish them again, but the daughter does not dare to beak." ”

Du Ziwu shook his head and said, "You girl, you dare to be smart and clever and use it on this, it's just that." Turning to Ju Xiang and Xiang'er, "Since Miss intercedes for you, you should get up first, go down and rest, and reflect on it, little master, you don't have to go over to wait for the time being." ”

Ju Xiang and Xiang'er were stunned, and when they heard that Du Ziwu didn't let them go to Xiao Du Yu's side to wait anymore, their faces were shocked, and they fell to the ground one after another, wanting to plead again.

Yi'er couldn't help but shake her head secretly in her heart, these two girls are really young, and they can't figure out the priorities at all, and now Du Ziwu is angry, so rushing to Baba's intercession, where can I get anything good? So before the two of them opened their mouths to plead, they preemptively said: "Father has spared you, don't thank you for this grace quickly, and then retreat." Lufu, these two girls have been punished, and they are afraid that their bodies are a little inconvenient, so you can find two girls to come and help them. ”

Lu Fu stepped forward in response, and the two girls were about to speak, Lu Fu glared at them fiercely, and the two of them stopped, and under the signal of Lu Fu's eyes, they were busy saluting Du Ziwu and Yi'er, thanking them, and then retreating with Lu Fu.

Where can these small actions escape Du Ziwu's eyes, he smiled a little helplessly, and said, "Those who should be tried here have also been tried, and those who should be punished have also been punished." You're scared, aren't you, but you're tired? Let's go take a break. ”

Ripple Courtyard didn't find anything on the side, but what was extremely surprising was that the fourth lady Wei quickly came with the news, saying that she had taken the culprit who cut the swing rope and wanted to harm Xiao Du Yu.

This matter is extremely surprising, although the old lady passed the word to let the fourth lady investigate this matter, the relationship between the fourth room and the long room, to put it mildly, in the eyes of the long room, I am afraid that the fourth room itself will be difficult to clear the suspicion, let alone let the fourth room help investigate the matter thoroughly, but the strange thing is that the fourth room would claim to have taken the culprit so quickly.

Of course, what is even more surprising is still to come, the culprit who holds the fourth room will actually be Aunt Zhao in the second room! What is even more puzzling is that Aunt Zhao actually confessed to this matter, admitting that she asked her maid Yuqin to cut the long rope of the swing yesterday evening.

The maid Yuqin was also picked up, and Jing'er went to recognize the person, and determined that Yuqin was the maid she saw hurrying past in front of the Ripple Courtyard yesterday.

So far, this matter seems to have been investigated clearly, but why did Aunt Zhao deliberately harm Xiao Du Yu, but Aunt Zhao kept silent, or was tortured, and casually made up an excuse for jealousy to perfunctory.

In the end, this matter actually involved Aunt Zhao, and while Yi'er was puzzled, she was also faintly embarrassed. She has returned to the capital, this Aunt Zhao has met a few times, but she has not even spoken very officially, let alone any friendship, but this Aunt Zhao is the biological mother of the second lady Du Xiangyu! In this Hou Mansion, in addition to the two innocent sisters in the third room, the only one who has some friendship with Yi'er is the second sister Du Xiangyu, and the matter of Chunyun that day is thanks to Du Xiangyu's early warning, otherwise, Yi'er would not have been able to save the day so easily.

This matter is related to Aunt Zhao, which is equivalent to involving Du Xiangyu, and Du Xiangyu's identity is here, I am afraid that I don't have much say in this huge Hou Mansion, but I am afraid that in the end, Du Xiangyu will finally ask her to come.
