509, weird
The carriage drove not far from Zheng's mansion, Xu Shu asked the carriage to stop the carriage, and the coachman was puzzled, "Miss Jiu, is there something wrong?" If it's okay, you can't delay, if you delay it any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back and forth today! ”
"Stop!" Xu Shu reiterated again and accentuated her tone.
The coachman didn't dare to disobey, so he hurriedly stopped, Xu Shu's master and servant got out of the carriage, and Xu Shu said again, "Coachman, check this carriage carefully, don't let it go anywhere, check it carefully inch by inch!" ”
Seeing Xu Shu's stern tone, the coachman didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly stopped the horsewhip, carefully inspected the carriage, and was shocked when he checked the rope connecting the axle, "This rope has been moved, you see, once you pull the horse hard, this rope will break, and when the horse moves at full speed, the rope will break, and the carriage will probably fall to the ground entirely!" ”
The carriage overturned to the ground, and the people in the car would not be much better.
Xu Shu didn't think it was strange, but breathed a sigh of relief, but Yuzhu couldn't suppress her anger and said, "Who is so vicious and wants to harm my young lady!" ”
Seeing Yuzhu's hideous face, the coachman was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and said, "It's not a small one, a small one doesn't dare!" ”
"I didn't say anything about you!" Yuzhu retracted her face and asked Xu Shu, "Miss, what should I do now?" ”
Xu Shu said calmly, "Let's hire two more carriages to go to Hanxi Temple, Yinzhi, and give a bunch of money to the coachman, there is a teahouse here, and the coachman is waiting for us to come back in the teahouse!" ”
The driver refused to accept the money, and said ashamedly, "This ...... How embarrassing is that? The little one received an errand today, how can he be lazy! It's really ...... to take Miss Nine's silver Why don't you go back and change the carriage? It's also close to the mansion! ”
"It's too late! When you come back from a new carriage, it's going to be noon! Don't shirk it, hurry up, let's go! ”
Xu Shu's master and servant hired a carriage to go to Hanxi Temple, and Yuzhu asked curiously, "How did Miss know that the carriage was tampered with?" ”
Xu Shu shook her head, "Actually, I didn't expect this at first, but the eldest lady's words reminded me that she refused to choose a carriage for me, maybe to avoid suspicion, but it also revealed another information, she knew that someone in her Zheng family looked at me unpleasantly, and might do something to me!" It just so happened that my mother's usual carriage broke down at this time, so I can't help but think about it too much! The usual carriage is easy to be noticed by people if it moves a little, and secondly, it is not placed in the warehouse, and it is more difficult to do it under the nose of people, and the carriage in the warehouse is much easier! So I asked the coachman to check it, and sure enough, something went wrong! ”
"Yes...... Can...... How did they know that the young lady would choose this one? Yuzhu suddenly blushed and explained incoherently, "The slave chooses this carriage...... Slaves are not ...... The slave and maid have no ......"
Xu Shu said, "I know it's not you!" Of course, no one else can guess which carriage I will choose, so several carriages in the warehouse must have been manipulated! No matter which one I choose, I can't escape! ”
"It's vicious!" Yuzhu took a sip, and couldn't help but rejoice, "Fortunately, Miss noticed it, otherwise it would ......"
"Who's going to do it?" Yinzhi pondered for a long time and didn't come up with a clue, and finally couldn't help but ask.
Xu Shu shook her head helplessly, "I've offended a lot of people recently, and anyone can intervene!" ”
"Actually, the second lady and the eighth lady are more suspicious...... Miss Ten doesn't want to go out now, she can't even call a girl for her, and the eldest lady won't do this for the sake of yesterday's unhappiness! Yinzhi said the object of her suspicions, Second Mrs. Zheng has always been unable to look down on the four rooms, and Xu Shu and Miss Zheng Ba have had some ties, and these two people are the most likely to do it.
Yuzhu added, "It's also possible that Miss Ten's nurse is also possible!" She was kicked out by the young lady, and she must have a grudge in her heart! She has been walking down all the year round, and she knows many people, and it is more convenient for her to do her hands and feet in the carriage than others! ”
"But she may not be able to know so quickly that Miss is going to use the carriage today, she has already left the house, and the news is not as well-informed as before!"
"This ......" Yuzhu scratched her head, realizing that what Yinzhi said was reasonable, that nurse has motivation and the ability to do it, but she lacks the opportunity to do it, so who are the people who have both motivation, ability, and timing......
Xu Shu agreed with Yinzhi's words, "I temporarily proposed to leave the house yesterday, no matter how strict the Zheng family's access control is, this word will not spread to the outside so quickly, it won't be the nurse's!" ”
"That'...... Is it the second lady or the eighth lady? Yuzhu asked uncertainly.
Xu Shu shook her head, "Sometimes the most unsuspecting person is often the most likely to be the biggest suspect!" Besides, when something happens to me at this time, the first thing my mother should suspect is the two of them, and they are not stupid enough to do anything at this juncture! ”
"Who could that be?" Yuzhu became more and more confused, and Yinzhi also looked confused.
Xu Shu said suddenly, "Don't you think it's strange for the eldest lady to be waiting at the second gate today?" ”
Yinzhi nodded, "At first, the slave maid thought that it was because the old lady made a statement, so that the eldest lady understood that you are a person that the old lady values and cannot be offended, and the eldest lady rejected your request to leave the mansion yesterday, so I came to show you early in the morning!" But now that I think about it, it seems that the eldest lady is a little too diligent in doing this...... If you just want to show your kindness, you should set up a new carriage waiting for you in the morning, instead of knowing that it is a long way to go to Hanxi Temple, you must choose a new carriage yourself......"
Yuzhu nodded again and again, "And when you asked the eldest lady to help choose the carriage, the eldest lady refused, in case something happens to you in this carriage, the eldest lady also has a statement!" ”
"In this way, the eldest lady is the most suspicious!" Yinzhi suddenly became worried, Mrs. Zheng's status in the family was only a little worse than that of the old lady, Xu Shu offended Mrs. Zheng, and it would be difficult to move an inch in the Zheng family in the future.
"It's not necessarily her, I just think her attitude today is a little strange!" Recalling Mrs. Zheng's every move today, Xu Shu's heart lingered with a strange feeling, as if she was tempting, as if she was provoking......"
Yes, Mrs. Zheng gave Xu Shu a sense of provocation, but Mrs. Zheng was full of kindness between the lines, but Xu Shu discerned a hint of provocation, what was Mrs. Zheng provoking? Is it because she was dissatisfied with her strength yesterday?
But if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, it is Mrs. Zheng who finds fault first, and for the sake of future peace, I have to make her more honest......
