Chapter 132: The Inner Ghost

When Gu Zheng learned how to identify grains, Liu'er had been standing behind her holding the notebook and holding the pen for her, and now since Cen Sanniang's hairpin slipped out of the booklet, then Liu'er was naturally the most suspiciousβ€”β€”β€” Gu Zheng knew that someone had bought the people around her when she saw Liu'er's eyes dodging and her expression was wrong, as for this person, it was not difficult to guess, it was either Cen Siniang or Cen Wuniang, but the person who was bought was not necessarily Liu'er.

It's just that although Gu Zheng believed that Liu'er would not be bribed and framed her, although Liu'er knelt in front of her with a "plop" after she gave Liu'er a chance, she didn't open her mouth to defend herself, and there was a contradictory and tangled look on her face, as if there was something unspeakable......

Gu Zheng sighed invisibly when he saw it, re-met Cen Siniang's gloating gaze, and said unhurriedly: "In addition to holding this booklet in my hand, the maid Liu'er next to me has also helped me hold it," Gu Zheng paused as he spoke, and slowly glanced at everyone present before continuing to say: "The third sister's hairpin may have been stolen by her and then blamed on me, or it could be that someone else stole it and stuffed it to her and asked her to blame me." ”

Cen Erniang was the oldest present, although she was impatient to take care of these small actions made by the sisters, but they couldn't continue to do the previous thing until the matter was resolved, so Cen Erniang finally frowned and asked Gu Zheng in a deep voice: "Do you have a way to prove your innocence?" It is useless to talk about this kind of thing, and it is the most direct and effective solution to directly prove your innocence, or to show evidence to find out the person who framed you. ”

Gu Zheng agreed with Cen Erniang's words very much, and was about to do so: "Thank you Second Sister for mentioning it, although I am not completely sure, I must try my best to give it a try, and I can't be slandered by people in vain about me and my deceased mother-in-law......"

After speaking, Gu Zheng looked 'pale', squinted his eyes and glanced around the room, and then looked at everyone present unhurriedly, and finally took out a handkerchief, wrapped the hairpin that fell to the ground with a handkerchief in a hurry, and then picked up the hairpin and put it under his nose and sniffed it carefully.

After smelling the residual smell on the hairpin, Gu Zheng immediately pointed to Cen Wuniang without hesitation: "If my guess is correct, the third sister's hairpin should be stolen by the fifth sister." ”

Cen Wuniang was immediately shocked when she heard Gu Zheng's words, and soon pretended to be wronged, tears flashed, and she cried with grievances: "I didn't steal the third sister's hairpin!" Sister Wanwan, you and I have always been 'friendly', and I think about everything for you, how can you push things on me in order to shirk your responsibilities? It's so disappointing and sad for me to do this......"

Gu Zheng has always felt that something is not quite right with Cen Wuniang, although Cen Wuniang has been very enthusiastic about her since the first meeting, and she does think about her in everything on weekdays, is considerate and understanding, but Gu Zheng always feels that her enthusiasm and thoughtfulness make people feel a little hypocritical and unreal, and even faintly feel that Cen Wuniang always seems to wear a mask and hide her true self.

Of course, although Gu Zheng had these strange feelings before, she would not convict Cen Wuniang just by relying on some of her own intuition, until today it was found out that the person who framed her was Cen Wuniang, Gu Zheng dared to be sure that her previous intuition was not wrong at allβ€”β€”β€” this Cen Wuniang is really an old fox who is not 'exposed', has first-class disguise, and first-class acting skills!

If Gu Zheng hadn't used an ingenious method to determine that Cen Wuniang must have framed her, now seeing Cen Wuniang's pitiful and aggrieved appearance, maybe she would really feel that she was wronged!

Now that Gu Zheng has clearly seen the true face of Cen Wuniang's hypocritical appearance, he unceremoniously exposed the trick she played: "The third sister's stolen hairpin has a faint smell of condiments, and among our sisters, only the fifth sister is learning how to identify the various 'color' condiments...... So the truth of the matter is that the fifth sister and Liu'er are embarrassed to be 'adulterous', the fifth sister first took advantage of the third sister's unpreparedness to steal her hairpin, and then 'handed over' the hairpin to Liu'er and asked Liu'er to put it in my book. ”

Gu Zheng had already walked to Liu'er's side while speaking, grabbed her hand unexpectedly, and pulled her hands high, and after sniffing carefully, Gu Zheng looked at Liu'er with a smile, and said lightly: "You didn't do it, you don't have the smell you should have on your hands." ”

"Girl, slave ......"

"Sister Wanwan, you misunderstood, it's really not me, I'm wronged!" Before Liu'er finished speaking, she was interrupted by Cen Wuniang, who was crying out for grievances, but although Cen Wuniang was shouting grievances, her hands were wringing the handkerchief in her hands vigorously, as if she wanted to wipe away the smell of condiments on her hands.

Gu Zheng didn't give her a chance to continue quibbling and destroying the evidence, and directly gave a most direct and most able way to prove her words: "The second sister can let people carefully smell the fifth sister's hands, the handkerchief in her hand and the booklet she is holding, and see if the smell on the top is the same as the smell on the hairpin that the third sister lost, and you can know whether my inference is accurate." ”

Cen Erniang listened to Gu Zheng's words, and a trace of surprise and appreciation flashed in her eyes, and then she immediately ordered someone to implement the method Gu Zheng said strongly, not giving Cen Wuniang any chance to resist and escape, and quickly confirmed that Cen Wuniang was the one who planted the blame for Gu Zheng.

Cen Erniang was very disdainful of Cen Wuniang's unruly methods, and as soon as it was confirmed that Cen Wuniang was bad, she immediately said without 'selfishness': "Now, Wuniang, you don't have to pretend in front of us anymore, save your tears!" What kind of person are you, I think except for Qi Niang, who just learned about it, everyone else has long been clear in their hearts......"

Cen Erniang has always been very mean in her speech, and she directly exposed the shortcomings of the other party: "You are acting in front of those of us who know you well, you don't feel tired, we are tired of watching." You just cried in front of me for three days and three nights, and I will also tell my grandmother about this matter and ask her to decide. ”

Cen Erniang's words made Cen Wuniang swallow the crying words with hatred, and when she saw that Gu Zheng's gaze at her was not only cold and full of contempt, she guessed that Gu Zheng had already seen through her true face......

In this case, Cen Wuniang immediately suppressed her tears and stopped pretending, but she didn't lose her temper in front of Gu Zheng and others, showing her true 'temperament', she just left with the maid with her sleeves unwillingly.

After Cen Wuniang left, Gu Zheng also took Li'er back to Tingquan Courtyard first, and as soon as she entered the house, Gu Zheng didn't have to speak, and Liu'er took the initiative to kneel down and ask for guilt: "The slave is derelict in her duties, please punish the girl!" ”

Gu Zheng looked at Liu'er calmly: "I want to hear you tell me how you were derelict in your duties." ”

Liu'er knew that she couldn't hide it for the real murderer anymore, so she could only bow her head and say: "The slave's sister Xi'er has been following the slave and the maid and learning how to serve the girl, and now she also follows the slave and the maid to accompany the girl to the kitchen......"

"The slave maid had been holding the booklet and serving beside the girl, but then she suddenly felt sick in her stomach and was anxious to go to the thatched house, and the slave maid thought that the girl was inseparable from her, so she let Xi'er come in and top the slave and maid for a while, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen in just a short time," Liu'er said that her face was full of tears and she couldn't cry silently: "It's all the slaves and maids who are not good, and it is the slaves and maids who didn't teach Xi'er well, so that she will be bought by the five girls all of a sudden." ”

When Xi'er replaced Liu'er with the booklet, Gu Zheng happened to concentrate on learning to identify grains and grains, and just didn't call Liu'er to present the booklet, and Liu'er quickly rushed back to replace Xi'er, so Gu Zheng didn't know that Xi'er had replaced Liu'er for a short period of effort...... Now that I heard Liu'er say this, the truth of the matter has been revealed, and I am afraid that even Liu'er herself did not expect to be used by her own sister.

Gu Zheng also understood why Liu'er looked conflicted and entangled before, but since the matter had become a big problem, she had to 'hand over' Xi'er: "Sister Liu'er, have you ever thought about why you suddenly had a stomach upset?" You're Xi'er's own sister! Today she can give you laxative 'medicine' for the little profit that others have promised her, but what if someone promises her greater benefits tomorrow? Will she poison you even more and trade your life for the glory and wealth she wants? ”
