Chapter Ninety-Four: Nowhere to Hide
I saw that Mrs. Luo didn't expose Aunt Zhao's lies, but only let the maid next to her tell Aunt Zhao about the ins and outs of the matter, and after speaking, she took a sip of the teacup and asked unhurriedly: "The five girls have to give me an explanation for this matter, right?" Why did she send something to Tingquan Courtyard, and Xiao Qi almost died after eating it?! β
Aunt Zhao came forward for Cen Wuniang to deal with Mrs. Luo, that is, she had the idea of arguing and denying Cen Wuniang to the end, and as soon as she saw Mrs. Luo coming up, she charged Cen Wuniang, and immediately raised her eyebrows and quibbled: "Our Wuniang has not sent anything to Tingquan Courtyard, Madame, don't 'mess' wrong her!" β
Aunt Zhao said this, obviously wanting to tear her face with Gu Zheng and frame Gu Zheng to the end......
Since this is the case, Gu Zheng can no longer stand idly by, and before Mrs. Luo opened her mouth, she fought back unhurriedly: "I heard that there is no rare thing like lotus root in Quanyuan, second, there is no small kitchen to make dim sum, and third, there is no cook who can make frosted lotus root slices, if it weren't for the fifth sister specially ordered someone to send it, the little seventh brother would never have eaten frosted lotus root slices from me." β
Mrs. Luo listened to it, and without waiting for Aunt Zhao to speak out again, she preemptively echoed: "That's right, this is the time when your Zhao family can 'get' those fresh lotus roots, right?" The people next to me don't say it's a cousin, even I may not be able to 'get' it. β
This was a point that Aunt Zhao was proud of before, but now it made her feel a little uncomfortable listening to it, but Aunt Zhao thought to herself that as long as she refused to admit it, Mrs. Luo couldn't do anything about her: "This fresh lotus root is indeed sent by our Zhao family, but I don't dare to 'private' hide such a rare thing, as soon as I get it, I will divide it into two parts, one will be sent to Mrs. Tai, and the other will be sent to Mrs. You in person...... If it is said that everyone with lotus root is suspicious, then madam, are you also suspicious? β
Aunt Zhao first refused to admit that Cen Wuniang sent a plate of frosted sugar lotus root slices to Gu Zheng, and then deliberately pulled Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Luo to wade into troubled waters, so that Mrs. Luo could not continue to investigate!
But Mrs. Luo couldn't find a way to deal with Aunt Zhao for a while, so she could only vent her anger on Gu Zheng: "Gu girl, since you said that the plate of frosted sugar lotus slices that Xiao Qi ate was sent to you by the five girls, then you have to prove this matter yourself, otherwise I will directly deduct you from this matter!" β
Gu Zheng had long expected that she would eventually be involved, and had already thought of a countermeasure, so as soon as Mrs. Luo said cruel words, Gu Zheng took a step forward with a 'chest', and analyzed for Mrs. Luo unhurriedly: "This matter is very simple, only Rongshoutang, Zhengyuan, Rose Courtyard and Xiaoxiang Yuan got the fresh lotus root in our house, as long as my aunt checks where there is less lotus root, can't she find out the origin of the dish of frosted sugar lotus root tablets sent to Tingquan Courtyard?" β
Mrs. Luo couldn't help but hesitate a little when she heard Gu Zheng's words, and asked, "Is this ...... Can this be found? I have a good look at the lotus roots that Aunt Zhao sent overβββ Aunt Zhao sent me ten sections, and I haven't touched any of them, and they are now resting in my small kitchen. β
This point has already been investigated, and Gu Zheng not only knows that Mrs. Luo's lotus root here has not been touched for a while, but also knows where Mrs. Tai's lotus root goes: "Then it's better to do!" I had already ordered my grandmother to inquire about it, and my grandmother said that she had transferred all the twenty lotus roots that Aunt Zhao had given her to Mrs. Li, who happened to be a guest at our house. β
Mrs. Luo learned to be smart this time, and as soon as she heard Gu Zheng finish speaking, she immediately gloated and pointed at Aunt Zhao and said: "Since I and my mother's lotus roots have not been touched, then that plate of frosted sugar lotus root slices is naturally made of your mother's 'daughter' lotus root!" Now, I see what you have to say! β
Aunt Zhao didn't calculate that Gu Zheng would find out the matter so clearly in a short period of time, and she could analyze the matter so transparently, so that she was speechless for a while and couldn't continue to quibble......
This Mrs. Luo used to 'fight' with Aunt Zhao, and most of them ended with her being so angry that Aunt Zhao jumped to her feet, but now that she finally saw Aunt Zhao deflated, Mrs. Luo's mood immediately became very happy, and she even glanced at Gu Zheng with appreciation.
Gu Zheng actually didn't want to get involved in the fight between Mrs. Luo and Aunt Zhao, but who let Cen Wuniang pull her and the innocent Cen Qilang into it?
Since Gu Zheng had been harmed by Cen Wuniang and couldn't get out of the relationship, she wanted to solve this matter quickly, so in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Gu Zheng quickly came to Mrs. Luo's ear and quietly reminded Mrs. Luo......
As soon as Mrs. Luo got Gu Zheng's reminder and walked towards Xiaoxiang Yuan without saying a word, Aunt Zhao hurriedly chased after her and asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do?" β
"What else can I do now? Naturally, I went to the five girls in person to ask the matter clearly, and if she still refused to say it after I went over in person, then I had to take this matter back to my mother and let her old man deal with it......" Mrs. Luo glanced at Aunt Zhao with a proud face as she spoke, and saw that Aunt Zhao's face was very ugly, and she immediately deliberately accelerated her pace towards Xiaoxiang Garden.
Cen Wuniang, who was lying on the 'bed', saw that Mrs. Luo was menacing, and guessed that Aunt Zhao couldn't settle the matter, and without waiting for Mrs. Luo to sit down and speak, her mind turned quicklyβββ it seemed that she couldn't hide it, and now she continues to pretend to be stupid and quibble, I'm afraid it will be difficult to 'blind' and 'mix' the past, and there is only one way to go!
As soon as Cen Wuniang analyzed the situation in front of her clearly, she did not hesitate at all, and immediately got out of bed and knelt in front of Mrs. Luo, and took the initiative to confess to Mrs. Luo with a remorseful face: "Mother, I know it's wrong!" I just wanted to make a little joke with Sister Wanwan, but I didn't expect it to accidentally make a big mistake and hurt the seventh brother...... I didn't do it right, and I ask my mother to punish me. β
This Aunt Zhao was still arguing for Cen Wuniang in front of her, and in a blink of an eye, Cen Wuniang was well-behaved and docile, and simply admitted her mistake...... Gu Zheng was slightly surprised by the completely different attitudes of the two, and also made her immediately look at Cen Wuniangβββ I didn't expect that this Cen Wuniang was still a master who could bend and stretch, and when she saw that she couldn't deny it, she decisively admitted her mistakes and made the wisest choice!
Sure enough, as soon as Cen Wuniang took the initiative to bow her head and admit her mistake, Mrs. Luo's words that she had thought of a lesson early in the morning could only be swallowed back into her stomach, and after opening her mouth for a long time, she could only follow Cen Wuniang's words and ask: "Since you know that you are wrong, then take the initiative to tell me what is going onβββ Tingquanyuan The plate of frosted sugar lotus root tablets was sent by you, right?" β
Cen Wuniang sobbed in a low voice, nodded and admitted the matter: "Well, I asked Li'er to send it." β
Mrs. Luo endured the 'sex' and continued to ask: "Then what did you put in the lotus root?" Why did Xiao Qi almost die after eating? β
"I ...... I ......" Cen Wuniang only said two words and tears rolled down, and her words were full of remorse: "I really didn't mean to, I just wanted to make a little joke with Sister Wanwan and let her run a few more times to the thatched house, so I sprinkled a little croton powder into the lotus root...... IβI really just sprinkled a little croton flour on the lotus root slices......"
Cen Wuniang cried as she spoke, crying until her handkerchief was all wet, and then she took Gu Zheng's hand and confessed: "Sister Wanwan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have made such a joke with you...... If I don't make such a joke with you, Xiao Qi won't be hurt by me and can't get up on the 'bed', I'm a sister who doesn't do my duty, and I hurt Xiao Qi......"
This Cen Wuniang shed a lot of tears every time she said a word, and she didn't forget to repeatedly emphasize that she just put a little croton powder, just wanted to play with Gu Zheng and make a little joke, she didn't imagine that things would become so serious......
Mrs. Luo didn't have the patience to listen to Cen Wuniang's crying, so she only asked with a focus: "Then where did you get the croton powder you said?" β
Cen Wuniang replied truthfully: "Yes...... I stole it from my aunt. β
The purpose of Mrs. Luo personally coming to Xiaoxiangyuan to ask Cen Wuniang was to find out the 'medicine' powder in the lotus root tabletsβββ the doctor said that the lotus root tablets contained not croton powder but ...... If Cen Wuniang really put the 'medicine' powder that the doctor said into the lotus root tablets, then this time Aunt Zhao will not have to be ruthless and suffer a lot? !
