Xiao Hui couldn't think of words to testify against Xiao Lingwei for a while, so she didn't speak.

At this time, Mama Gao walked in from outside: "Old lady, the slave has been tried."

"There is no problem with Bai Qiu's breakfast today, except for the coriander who went to the toilet halfway and left for a while, and then went to the kitchen to get food for Miss Six, she was by Bai Qiu's side the rest of the time.

"In addition to coriander, there are also Miss Two and Miss Six who have come into contact with Baiqiu today, as well as Xiaohuan who prepares food for Baiqiu."

After listening to her words, Li Xuan looked at Xiao Hui's hand: "I heard that a few days ago, the white ball scratched the second lady's hand, and the doctor said that it might leave a scar."

"Although the skin on the hands is not as important as the face, it is also the second face of the girl's family.

"Now that this second face has been scratched, it will leave an indelible scar if it is not well maintained, presumably the second lady has a grudge against Baiqiu, right?

In this way, among the people present, the second lady was the one who had the most motive to poison the white ball.

"Mama Gao also said just now that the second lady came into contact with the white ball this morning.

"As far as I know, the second lady is usually not intimate with the white ball, and she rarely goes to see the white ball.

"So, what is the purpose of the second miss to see the white ball today?

"Why are you biting your little sister tightly?"

"Is it because you hate the white ball in your heart, so you poison the white ball, and then blame the little junior sister?"

Xiao Hui's mind was right, and her face turned pale.

Mrs. Xiao scolded loudly: "Li Xuan, there is no evidence, and there is little blood. ”

Li Xuan respectfully bowed to her with an indifferent expression: "Big lady, I just said the doubts in my heart, presumably this is also the doubt in the hearts of everyone present." ”

"You..." Mrs. Xiao glared at him angrily, and then turned to Mrs. Xiao: "Old lady, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. ”

Yang Huijun said coldly: "I also want to know, what is the purpose of the second lady to see the white ball?" I heard that the second lady was scratched by the white ball on the day she threatened to kill the white ball.

"Is that the case?"

Mrs. Xiao was stunned and speechless.

Xiao Ling opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say that she also heard Xiao Hui shouting at Bai Qiu that day, but after thinking about it, she heard it when Xiao Hui was just injured in the hospital.

If she did, how did her grandfather hear it, and how would she answer?

At the thought of this, she closed her mouth.

Old lady Xiao looked at their expressions and knew that there was such a thing, and asked Xiao Hui with a cold face: "Huihui, you say, what are you doing to see the white ball today?" ”

Xiao Hui stiffened her neck and said, "I just went to see the white ball, and I didn't do anything."

"It hurt me, and I said those words because I was angry, and after so many days, I was no longer angry."

After explaining, he said: "Coriander left halfway, who knows if the sixth sister sneaked in to poison the white ball, and then pretended to have just arrived." ”

Lan Hai stood up and said: "The slave can testify that the sixth lady entered the Evergreen Courtyard, first greeted the old lady, and then went to find coriander and play with the white ball. ”

Xiao Lingwei has always liked to play alone with Bai Qiu, so she doesn't let Lan Hai follow her every time.

Li Xuan followed closely and said, "In this way, it is possible that the second young lady may also poison the white ball while the coriander is leaving." ”

"How is that possible? Am I not going to be poisoned? Dirty Miss Ben's hands. Xiao Hui denied it.

"The second lady is a daughter, of course she won't do these little things herself, just send a little girl to go."

Li Xuan said, glancing at Tong Li.

Tong Litong knelt down: "Old lady, the slave maid is not poisoned." ”

Li Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth: "I didn't say you, why are you so nervous?" ”

"I..." Tong Li choked up, and when she saw Xiao Hui glaring at her, she immediately lowered her head, "The slave didn't poison it, and our young lady didn't poison it either."

"Because everyone in the house knows that the white ball is the pet of the concubine, if something happens to the white ball, the concubine will not let go of the murderer."

Li Xuan said lightly: "That's right, but some people like to challenge authority, otherwise how could there be so many criminals in the world." ”

Mrs. Xiao couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Li Xuan, you have to put the blame on my daughter before you give up." ”

Li Xuan took a step back, his attitude was submissive, and his eyes were not so deferential: "I'm just telling the truth, if the second miss is not a murderer, naturally there is no need to be nervous." ”

"You..."Mrs. Xiao was even more angry, and ordered loudly: "Pull down the girl ring who has been in contact with the white ball today and beat it hard, and you must let them recruit the poisoner." ”

The people in the room did not move.

Mrs. Xiao opened her mouth and was about to reprimand, when she caught a glimpse of Old Madam Xiao's face, she quickly softened her tone and said, "Old Madam, I'm sorry, my daughter-in-law has trespassed." ”

Old Madam Xiao looked at her deeply and said to Old Madam Xiao, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Old lady Xiao looked at Xiao Lingwei, who had a sad face, and then looked at Xiao Hui, who was nervous and cramped, with complicated emotions in his eyes, he looked at everyone, and said majestically: "The white ball is dead, we must give the concubine an explanation."

"The subordinates who serve the white ball are not well taken care of, so there is no need to keep them.

"As for the two of them, the sisters are not in harmony, and it is time to discipline them well.

"The backyard will be left to Madame."

After finishing speaking, Old Lady Xiao brushed her sleeves and left.

Xiao Hui hung her head nervously, and the handkerchief in her hand twisted and twisted.

Old Madam Xiao glanced at her, thought for a while, and ordered: "Coriander and Xiaohuan are not effective in serving the white ball, so that the white ball will be poisoned by eating poisonous things by mistake, and will be pulled down to hit fifty boards." ”

"No, old lady, the slave is wronged... Hmm..."

"The old lady spares her life, it's not about the slave and maid, it's wronged... Hmm..."

Coriander and Xiaohuan were so frightened that they cried bitterly, but they were gagged by the grandmother who came to catch them and pulled them down.

"Wait."

Li Xuan looked at Old Madam Xiao: "Old Madam, there is no evidence to prove that the two of them were poisoned, is this punishment too heavy."

"Even if it's not taken care of, you don't have to play fifty boards, right? It's going to kill you. ”

He watched Li Zhenxiao punish his subordinates, and he was seriously disabled in the thirty boards, and he could only spend the rest of his life in bed.

Fifty boards, isn't it a matter of life?

Old Madam Xiao originally liked Li Xuan, after all, he had a sweet mouth, and he made her very happy on weekdays, and he would amuse her with some new things.

But today, in front of her, he interfered in the affairs of Xiao Mansion everywhere, and he was aggressive towards Xiao Hui, and he didn't take her seriously at all.

Old Madam Xiao said in a deep voice: "This is our Xiao Mansion's business, and outsiders cannot be allowed to interfere. ”

"But..."

Old Madam Xiao glanced at Mama Gao.

Mama Gao immediately stepped forward and said to Li Xuan, "Fourth Master Li, please." ”

Li Xuan looked at Old Madam Xiao and saw that her eyes were full of indifference, knowing that the ancients did not take the lives of slaves to heart, and also knew that the ancient family members were the most taboo for someone to challenge her authority, so she swallowed the words into her stomach.

He glanced at Xiao Lingwei worriedly and walked out.

Old Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Hui and Xiao Lingwei and said, "You two, go to the ancestral hall and kneel for three hours, and no one is allowed to send food and water."

"Tomorrow, you don't have to welcome the concubine, just meditate on yourself in the room."

"Old lady..."

Old Madam Xiao's eyes turned sideways, and Mrs. Xiao immediately closed her mouth.

Old Madam Xiao looked at everyone and said loudly: "The white ball died by accidentally ingesting poisonous things, and from now on, I don't want to hear any rumors.

"Do you hear that?"

Everyone solemnly responded: "Yes." ”
