The old lady closed her eyes slightly, looked at the few maids kneeling on the ground, and said nothing with a calm face, so frightened that they all trembled.

"The doctor detected a very large amount of rat poison from the leftover soup that the eldest lady ate in the morning, and the soup was made in your small kitchen as soon as possible, and then taken to the main house by Qiu Lu, the poisoned person can only be among you, and now if you have an explanation, hurry up and explain it clearly, otherwise a few boards will go down in a while, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to say it!"

After Su Yunyao's few words, a little girl in the crowd was directly scared into tears.

Usually Su Yunyao went to Su Ning Yuan, and the maids were always polite, and they never gave a look on their faces, and it was the first time they had seen the eleventh girl like this.

"Say it or not!" Su Yaoqi's sleeve flipped over the tea cup on the table, the tea cup fell to the ground, and the fragments jumped next to Qiu Lu's legs, so frightened that Qiu Lu took several steps back.

"Did you move! I think it's just that the eldest lady is too soft-faced and kind-hearted on weekdays, even if you don't understand the rules at all! The old lady pointed to the two little girls, "You, go and freeze me in the yard, Mama Zhou, and order someone to pour cold water on them every half an hour, so that they can wake up!" ”

It's a poisonous method.

In the winter, let alone splashing cold water, even if you are wearing a jacket and cotton skirt, you can feel the cold wind piercing your body, let alone being splashed with cold water, and that person will have to freeze to death outside after a while?

Mama Zhou stepped forward and bent her knees, turned around and was about to go out with the two little girls, one of them was so frightened that she sat on the ground, and the other trembled and begged the old lady to spare their lives.

"Who will spare my daughter-in-law's life?" The old lady was unmoved, and turned her head to look at the other three, "Don't look at the excitement, they have their own way of telling the truth, and you also have yours, just entered the house as slaves, the two of them have never been beaten by the board, and I have used other methods, but you are different!" ”

The three of them cried and cried, begging, and the New Year was like a funeral.

Su Yao only felt a splitting headache, and slapped the table again, "Mother doesn't have to be soft, just deal with it directly!" ”

A few rough mothers-in-law came in, and directly picked up the few one by one, and carried them out like chickens, regardless of their shouts for mercy.

Mama Zhou gave an order, "Give me a hard beating, until they tell the truth!" ”

The fight was fierce here, and Qiu Li and the others over there were not idle, turning the place where several maids in Su Ning Yuan lived, and they really searched for things.

There is a tattered box under Qiushui's bed, and at the bottom of the tattered box there is an old paper left over after wrapping rat poison, the rat poison is reddish-pink, and the fragrance is very greasy, although it has lost most of its medicinal effect, but the fragrance is still there, this is the evidence, and it can't run.

"Old lady, lord, this is from under the bed of Qiushui."

Qiu Li handed the old paper to them, Su Yao took it, looked at it and sniffed it, and when he got to the old lady, the old lady simply covered her nose and said, "Take this dirty thing down!" ”

Qiushui was beaten and almost fainted, and was splashed back to his senses by a scoop of cold water.

"This filth was found under your bed, and you still don't admit it?" Su Yao asked.

Qiushui didn't know if it was painful or frightened, and his lips trembled, "It's not... It's not the slave's, the slave hasn't seen this thing..."

"How dare you lie!" Su Yao got up all of a sudden, and smacked Qiushui's big mouth.

The few who were playing the board outside stopped, and the two little girls who had just arrived did not suffer from the cold anymore, and now everyone's attention was on Qiushui.

On the bench, Qiu Lu looked at the room in a daze, and finally couldn't bear the pain and fainted.

"The slave really doesn't know!" Qiushui kowtowed again and again, "The eldest lady treats the slave and the maid as kind as a mountain, if it weren't for the eldest lady who saw the slave and the maid pitiful and bought the slave and maid from the hands of the human tooth, I am afraid that the slave and the maid will not know which hook fence to die in at this time, the lord, the old lady, the slave and the maid are telling the truth, the slave and the maid can swear, if it is really the slave and the maid to the eldest lady to poison, then the slave and the maid would rather be hit by five thunders from the sky!" ”

Su Yunyao squinted her eyes at Qiu Shui, and then instructed Qiu Li to hand her the old paper.

The paper is very fragrant, the reddish-pink color is very strong, and the paper is mottled and wrinkled, and you can see that it is something that has been around at a glance.

Bai Chuheng also took a closer look, but he really saw the clue.

"Where did you find this?"

"Back to the little grandfather, it's under the bed in Qiushui." Qiu Li replied.

"What does Qiushui do?"

"She went to the small kitchen this morning, and tasted the soup for the eldest lady in the small kitchen, and said that the taste was a little weak and she needed to add some salt, and she has been busy in the small kitchen since then."

"That's weird." Bai Chuheng said, "There are many places in the small kitchen that can handle this thing, charcoal basins, furnace pits, how can they not be destroyed?" When the time comes, no one will know if it is burned, but why didn't she destroy the paper, but hid it under the bed with her? It's under your own bed, even if it's thrown in the courtyard of Su Ning Yuan, isn't it strange? ”

"It's weird." Su Yunyao looked at Qiushui carefully, "Qiushui has been busy in the small kitchen, and it is easy to destroy this dirty thing, and it is easy to push it back, why did that person hide this thing under the Qiushui bed, I am afraid that there is no chance to deal with it, and then think about planting Qiushui to clear her suspicion, Su Ningyuan's small kitchen has an accident, she knows that she will definitely be investigated, as long as she knows who can enter and exit Qiushui's room, and there is no chance to destroy that paper, then she should be the one who poisoned her." ”

Su Yunyao's words reminded Su Yao, and he reacted quickly and said loudly, "Isn't that soup soup brought to the main house by Qiu Lu?" She couldn't handle it along the way, and it just so happened that she lived in the same room as Qiushui, wasn't she the only one who could do this? ”

Correct solution.

Qiushui breathed a sigh of relief, and the rough mother-in-law who was pulling her behind her also let go of her hand.

"Bring in Autumn Dew!" Su Yao said angrily.

Qiu Lu, who thought that she was free from suspicion, didn't wait to breathe a sigh of relief, so she was brought in again.

"You look up." The old lady said, "I remember that you bought it from outside when you bought slaves in a unified manner, and all the old sons and mothers in the family are dead, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes..."

"That's right." The old lady's smile was full of sarcasm, "Then it won't be a threat, it's just that you have received someone's benefit, now spit it out this matter, you can avoid the pain of flesh and skin, otherwise you will suffer from the board just now, you know how much it hurts, and you will suffer more than that for a while." ”

Qiu Lu pounced and knelt on the ground, "Old lady Mingjian!" The paper containing the rat poison is not from the slave, the slave doesn't know! ”

"Then you tell me, who else could it be if it wasn't you?"

"It's... It's autumn water... Didn't the paper with rat poison be found by her? This has nothing to do with slaves and maids! ”

"How do you know where we found the old paper?" Su Yunyao asked unexpectedly.

"Slave... The slave maid saw Qiu Li come in with the old paper outside, the slave maid listened to Qiu's mother last year, and the medicine had killed mice, and knew what the paper filled with rat poison looked like. ”

"You know that the paper is enough, how do you know that the paper was found in Qiushui?"

"Slave..." Qiu Lu raised her head in horror and looked at Su Yunyao, only then did she realize that she had entered a game.

"Speak! Dumb? Su Yao scolded.

"The slave and maid heard it from outside..."

"You fart! The door is closed, who can hear the sound inside? Kang Jinglan roared, making her tremble.

"The slave maid saw Qiu Li asking Qiu Shui to go in, and guessed that she should have found the paper there, so... The slave really guessed! ”

The words are ambiguous, the preface does not match the afterword, if you want to say that this autumn dew is not a ghost, everyone present estimates that no one can believe it.

"Then I'll tell you what Qiu Shui does, Su Ning Yuan has a maid who saw you sneakily add something to my mother's soup, and after Fang just came to report, we knew that Qiu Shui was wrong, so we gave her some self-esteem, which is our compensation and apology, so you understand?"

"Understood... Understood..."Qiu Lu nodded, and shook her head in a panic, "The slave didn't put anything into the eldest lady's soup, the slave didn't..."

"There are many hard-mouthed people, and there are many shady means in the mansion, and I will know what I want to know in less than half an hour." Su Yunyao gently got up and bowed to the old lady, "Grandmother lives longer than her granddaughter, and she understands nature more than her granddaughter, and she also asked her grandmother to solve this difficulty for her granddaughter, so that her granddaughter can know who harmed my mother, and after a long time, my mother needs someone to serve, and my granddaughter will retire." ”

This is very particular.

Even if Su Yunyao wants to kill Qiu Lu angrily now, she has to refrain from it, because she wants to find out who is behind the scenes through Qiu Lu, and Su Yao is in charge of the outside of this house, and the affairs in the inner house are Qin Manhuai and the old lady in charge, and Qin Manhuai has an accident now, so naturally she has to listen to the old lady.

Her little bit of Taoism in front of the old lady is a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and it also seems that she does not respect the elders, which makes the old lady unhappy, it is better to withdraw this matter and let the old lady deal with it, anyway, she will not let go of Qiu Lu.

Back to Su Ning Yuan, Qin Manhuai fell asleep again, just woke up for a while, drank some warm water, and ate half a snack with water, Chun Yuan instructed that there is still some residual poison now, and it is not appropriate to eat too much, so there is no delay in the effect of the medicine.

"I'll come." Su Yunyao took the face towel handed by Qiu's mother, lightly put it on Qin Manhuai's forehead, and then sat on the edge of the bed.

"Girl, is she frightened today?" Qiu's mother asked.

"Hmm." Su Yunyao whispered, "That feeling of powerlessness is back, just like the night of the fifth sister's accident, I was powerless and heartbroken, and I couldn't do anything." ”

"You've done a lot, if you want to blame these things, it's because people are too poisonous, and you can't wait to kill the eldest lady."
