For a moment, everyone in the room had different expressions on their faces, either in disbelief, in disbelief, or in disdain for what I had said. I glanced around and took in the whole view.

"Tsk! Tut! Tut! The seventh aunt 'yin' and yang weirdly 'interjected': "Miss Eleven is well-informed, and she even understands things on the rivers and lakes. It's like us, who are in this back house in accordance with the rules, the big 'door' is not out, the second 'door' is not stepping, and it is lonely and unheard. ”

The second lady, who rarely spoke, said indifferently: "When I was in the boudoir, I heard the 'milk' mother talk about this kind of poison, which is almost colorless and tasteless, and it is very difficult to be noticed. I heard that there were concubines in the palace who used to compete for favor and harm people, and there were no traces of 'showing' at all. ”

Qingqing also mustered up the courage to say: "Anyway, I believe in Qingwu's medical skills, if it weren't for her, I'm afraid I would have ruined my appearance." ”

I nodded to the second lady and Qingqing excitedly, and Qingqing smiled at me, which warmed my heart.

Aunt Nine pretended not to understand the irony in Aunt Seven's words, and followed her words: "That's it, this poison is really unheard of by us." Mrs. Dao is unwell. No wonder so many doctors are helpless, and Qingwu's one dose of 'medicine' is effective. It's just that, Qingwu, we really can't see anything wrong with this tea, the face is clear and bright, where does it seem to be doing hands and feet? ”

I naturally knew that Aunt Nine was kindly reminding me to come up with convincing evidence.

I smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "This poison is a slow 'sex' poison 'medicine', the silver needle can't test anything abnormal at all, and the poisonous 'sex' is not immediate." The symptoms of the poison were the same as those of the mother some time ago, and there were no other obvious features. I can't prove it on the spot.

The only difference is that in the person who is poisoned, at the beginning, there will be a subtle pink 'colored' vein-like vein between the wrists. With the intensification of the toxic 'nature', the 'color' gradually becomes darker and shorter. When it is shortened to one inch in length, it will be poisoned, and there will be no 'medicine' to treat.

If the mother doesn't believe it, she can raise her wrist to see if there is a crimson 'colored' vein between her wrists. ”

The mother raised her wrist as she said, rolled up the sleeve of her shirt, and 'exposed' a piece of wrist like congealed cream. That red line is already quite visible.

Immediately there was a gasp in the room.

I glanced at Aunt Sixth attentively, her eyes were lowered, calm and unwavering, and there was no expression on her face.

"What Qingwen said is true." The mother's 'lips' couldn't help but tremble a little, and she couldn't suppress the 'agitation': "This red line was originally inconspicuous, and it has only recently become eye-catching. I also wonder why I've been flustered all these days after eating your recipe, so I'm so flustered and tired. It turns out that someone is doing something behind his back! ”

The onlookers were shocked, looked at each other, and secretly guessed in their hearts who had poisoned them.

Aunt Jiu said suddenly: "I just said that some time ago, the young woman was wronged and poisoned her wife, which made the young woman feel wronged and was misunderstood and spurned by the people in the house. It must be a trap set by that person, deliberately separating Mrs. and Qingwu, so as to put you to death! ”

The mother looked a little angry for a while, and stroked her heart with her hand and said, "Who made this tea, stand up for me!" ”

The sound was so strong that I couldn't help but tremble a little.

Immediately, two little girls came tremblingly and fell to their knees. There was a girl who was a little bolder and looked clever and intelligent, as if she was 'serving' her mother in personal clothes, and kowtowed and defended:

"Madame Mingjian, the tea served to all the young ladies and aunts this morning is brewed with this pot of boiling water. It's just that Miss Qingwen told us that your body is not suitable for drinking strong tea, and the tea we give you is a separate one. ”

Everyone was shocked, and some people who had already drunk morning tea had even changed their complexions, and they all picked up the tea cup in their hands to carefully identify it.

Aunt Qi was even more panicked, and said in a trembling voice: "I had a dry mouth today, and I drank two cups in a row. Cover your mouth and retch.

I walked over, picked up the two cups of tea on the table, put them to my nose and sniffed, then looked up and said, "These teas are clean." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and turned their eyes back to the two little girls kneeling in the middle of the room.

The little girl naturally understood what she meant, and hurriedly defended, with a crying voice in her voice: "When making tea, the two of us were all present, one scooped tea with a teaspoon, and the other carried water to brew, and I still remember that Sister Feng told me that after washing the tea, the first tea was poured into the water bowl on the tray." Then the sixth aunt took it, and we absolutely couldn't do anything about it. ”

The other girl kowtowed and agreed.

I walked over and looked at the tea, bowl, and even teaspoon on the table, and there was nothing wrong with it. I can't help but secretly admire my mother's thoughtfulness and lack of leakage.

In this way, the suspicion of the two little girls can be said to have been minimized, and all the spearheads are aimed at the sixth aunt who handled it last. I shook my head at my mother.

The mother cast her suspicious eyes on the sixth aunt who was standing beside her. She turned pale in an instant, and unconsciously curled her right hand into her sleeve: "Madam, I have been serving by your side for more than ten years, and you have always taken good care of me, how can I have such a vicious mind for you?" And in full view of everyone, how do I do it? ”

The emotions are hard to hide and some 'agitated'.

The fourth aunt behind her stepped forward and patted her shoulder gently, and whispered comfortingly: "Don't 'agitate' first, isn't it that the matter has not been asked clearly?" Those who are clear are self-purifying, and it is good to explain clearly. ”

My mother turned to look at me, "Is it possible that this poison can go down inside without touching this tea?" ”

I shook my head and said categorically, "Impossible! ”

The room fell silent for a moment, silent, and even the air seemed to stop flowing and froze.

The mother groaned for a moment and said firmly: "The sixth aunt has always lived in a simple house on weekdays, and has never gone out to contact outsiders, and there is no relatives and friends in this Yangzhou city. ”

The little girl who was lying on the ground seemed to remember something, raised her head suddenly, and said tremblingly: "Madam, I have seen the sixth aunt disguise herself and secretly leave the house!" ”

One stone 'stirred' up a thousand layers of 'waves', and everyone looked at the little girl with bated breath, hoping to tell some shocking secrets from the little girl's mouth.

The sixth aunt's face instantly became even paler, without blood, her hands clenched unconsciously, and her face was nervous.

The mother was also taken aback, and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, bad people have a good reputation!" ”

The little girl calmed down, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "The slave will never dare." If it weren't for today's incident involving the innocence of the maid, I would be rotten in my stomach, and I wouldn't dare to talk about the rights and wrongs of my aunt in the house.

There is a corner 'door' on the west wall of the house, which was originally near the large kitchen, and the food delivery person left. Later, the kitchen was replaced, and the corner 'door' was abandoned.

A few days ago, there was a snowball 'messy' running, we were looking around, I saw the sixth aunt wearing a black 'color' cloak from outside the house sneaking 'touch' 'touching' back, after entering the 'door' took off the cloak, wrapped in a cloth bag in his hand, the cloth bag was still wriggling, obviously a living thing, like a snake! ”

"Zhu Yeqing!" I pretended to be surprised, "I wondered a while ago how there could be bamboo leaves in the backyard of the house, that is the main 'medicine' for making one inch of gong!" ”

In my heart, I secretly admired my mother's ability, and everything was arranged, even if I didn't have to do anything, I am afraid that the crime of poisoning and murdering the sixth aunt would be ironclad.

"Madam, they are shirking their responsibilities!" The sixth aunt was obviously more and more flustered, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. Everyone could tell that she was pretending to be calm.

"The 'doors' in that corner are locked, how can I enter and exit freely? If you don't believe me, you can summon my personal maids, have they ever seen me go out of the house for half a step? I've seen what bamboo leaves are green in my room. ”

My mother turned to look at me, as if helpless.

I lowered my head and thought about it, and suddenly realized: "How can I forget such an important knowledge, I have heard the master say before, this poison contains the seven-star bamboo leaf grass, and when it comes into contact with vinegar, it will turn black." We only need to soak our hands in white vinegar and we will see the difference. ”

The mother asked, "But is it okay to use the usual smoked vinegar, which we have in our kitchenette on a daily basis?" ”

I nodded, and my mother turned around and told the two girls to go to the kitchen and bring in a basin of white vinegar and put it on the table in the center of the room.

I took an empty cup next to me, scooped a small amount of white vinegar from the basin, and then took the cup of tea from my mother's front and dripped a few drops into it. The originally clear white vinegar immediately had a black 'color' precipitation in it, and gradually condensed.

Everyone saw it in their eyes, and after exclaiming, they naturally believed it.

To avoid suspicion, I put my hand in the basin and made a demonstration. The two little girls walked over and put their hands into the basin respectively, and the color of their hands did not change, so they breathed a sigh of relief and quietly retreated to the back.

We turned our eyes to Aunt Six, but she hesitated and did not step forward, closed her eyes, pursed her lips, and stood in silence, as if she was hesitating, and seemed to be desperate, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qing Chou frowned slightly, and also bit her lower lip, her pink face turned red, and there was nervousness and a trace of resentment in her eyes when she looked at her aunt.

I once heard Xuan'er say that Qingchou was honest and straightforward, and she was particularly disgusted with the sixth aunt's groveling to her mother, and felt that she couldn't hold her head up in the house, so she was very estranged from her, and often spoke coldly and viciously, and she didn't move around.

For the sake of the word "hatred", he has been thinking about it for more than ten years, taking advantage of his most beautiful youthful 'spring' years, sacrificing a lifetime of happiness, and finally ruining his motherly image in the heart of his 'daughter', why is it so painful?

In addition to emotion, I was so nervous that I pinched a handful of cold sweat in my palms, and a nervous heart rose to my throat and eyes, as if it was about to fly out.
