Aunt Fang hurriedly lowered her head and stopped talking.

The old lady's gaze, though not very bright, was as sharp as a sword, and she swept over everyone present, and everyone hung their heads and held their breath.

"Wanqing, tell me, which maid did you send to deliver the kite that day?" The old lady's tone was deep.

Wanqing replied respectfully: "Back to my grandmother's words, it's still a heart." ”

A return word sounded the alarm bell for everyone. Last time, Xie Wanqing was slandered and framed by Zitian, and she replaced the red hearts who should have come out to testify, but only a few days later, there was another accident, and the matter was still related to the hearts. One has to doubt the loyalty of this maid. Even if the red hearts pour dirty water on Xie Wanqing at that time, it will make people distrust her words.

Not to mention that Xie Wanqing thinks a lot, she can't believe the maids around her.

Red Hearts followed Xie Wanqing to see Xie Huaiying, but she was waiting outside the house with Mama Feng at the time, so she didn't know what was going on inside. Now that he was suddenly summoned by the old lady, he couldn't help but wonder.

Heart is mute, and she can only speak in sign language. Mama Xin still called the slave who knew sign language. Here the hearts are gesturing in sign language, and the slaves over there are bowing their heads and translating.

The words of hearts are short.

A few days ago, Xie Wanqing sent her to deliver a kite to Xie Huaiying. She took the order to deliver the kite and returned.

"Red hearts, you sprinkled the powder on the kite?" The old lady asked with a squint.

Hearts shook their heads vigorously and played sign language.

Slave translator next to him: How can there be medicinal powder on the kite? The minions don't know anything.

"Isn't it because your sister Zitian was punished, so you have a grudge in your heart, poisoned the third young master and blamed the second young lady?" The old lady then asked.

That day, Xie Huaiying first admitted that he had lied, and then Zitian was put on trial. And Red Hearts and Zitian have had a good relationship since childhood, and only Zitian is the only one in the house who takes care of the mute Red Heart, which is enough to become the motive for Red Hearts to poison Xie Huaiying with drugs. Mama Xin told the old lady about the relationship between the two on the side.

Unexpectedly, the hearts just shook their heads, and knocked their heads so hard that the blood came out. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, it's not hearts, could it be really Xie Wanqing?

The old lady wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "Drag it down and hit ten boards." After the fight, bring it up for questioning. ”

Soon a sturdy little man dragged the hearts down, and all they heard was the muffled sound of the outer plate hitting the flesh. Partial hearts are mute and can't say a word.

The old lady is ruthless, not for a day or two. When he was young, he was in charge of the inner courtyard, and he hadn't seen any ups and downs, and he didn't blink an eye if he killed a person casually, but now that he is old, he believes in Buddhism and doesn't kill, otherwise Zitian would have been beaten to death that day.

But who's to say it's better to sell it in a building than to beat it to death?

The sound from outside came in, and the people inside were also frightened when they listened, and no one sat quietly.

Xie Wanyun is even more so. Although she is bad, she has no experience, and usually sets traps on words at most, which is intriguing, but it is the first time to harm people like this, and now she sees the old lady's such a ruthless method, she is panicked and afraid, and she sweats lightly in her hands.

Next to her, Lu Yi quietly squeezed her young lady's hand, reassuring her not to worry, Red Heart is mute and illiterate. What can be identified? Even if he said that he met them in the pavilion when it rained that day, it was just a coincidence, and the medicinal powder was green, and the red hearts didn't even notice it.

Sure enough, he was stupid, and he still wanted to save Zitian like this, but now he can't protect himself.

After the ten boards of hearts were played, the man was carried in. The girl who used to be delicate was now paralyzed on the ground like a dead fish, and she didn't even have the strength to get up. His forehead was covered with sweat and soaked his hair.

Mama Xin stepped forward and pulled out the handkerchief stuffed in the heart mouth, which was used to prevent the slave from biting his tongue and committing suicide if he couldn't stand the torture.

"Say, isn't it the third young master you killed?"

Hearts still shook their heads.

The old lady held the teacup in her hand, and she was about to get angry.

Xie Wanqing walked up to Red Hearts, squatted down and looked at her, "Red Hearts, I remember that it rained heavily on the day you sent the kite, didn't it?" ”

Hearts nodded.

"I remember you went for a long time that day, did you take shelter from the rain on the way?"

As soon as the words of sheltering from the rain came out, sure enough, Xie Wanyun's face changed, but very quickly, she changed back to a light and breezy look. If it weren't for Xie Wanqing's eyes staring at her all the time, I was afraid that she would miss it.

Red hearts seemed to want to say something, but they had no choice but to lie on the ground with their hands on the ground to barely kneel, and they couldn't free up their hands to play sign language.

Mama Xin made a look, and immediately the two little maids next to her came over to support the body of the red heart.

The slave went to a gazebo to take shelter from the rain. She said.

"Are you the only one in this gazebo?" Xie Wanqing asked.

Hearts aren't smart, but they're not stupid either. Just now the old lady asked her about the kite's medicinal powder, but she didn't know. But the kite passed through her alone. She used to live in Xie Wanqing's yard, but later she met Xie Wanyun on the road, and the medicine powder was not ordered by her, so it could only be Xie Wanqing or Xie Wanyun.

Xie Wanqing treats her well, not like other masters who dislike her, after the last Zitian incident, she couldn't bear Xie Wanqing, and now she can't bear to hurt her again.

As for Xie Wanyun, she is the eldest daughter in the family, she has been gentle and polite since she was a child, and she has advanced and retreated moderately, and it is impossible for anyone to believe that she was drugged. What's more, Red Hearts is still looking forward to Xie Wanyun helping her save Zitian.

So, who will bear the burden of today's affairs? Naturally, it can't be her hearts, she can't die yet.

So she slowly turned around and pointed to the green water standing next to Xie Wanyun.

"Green, you say." The old lady suddenly spoke up.

Lu Yi forced himself to compose, knelt next to the red heart and said: "The slave went out to run errands that day and encountered a torrential rain, and had to be trapped in the gazebo, and happened to meet the red heart who was also sheltering from the rain. Her face was calm, but her tone was a little hurried. Thinking about it, I am still afraid of the old lady, and I am a little weak-hearted.

Aunt Fang saw the old lady's name of Luyi, and secretly said in her heart. Luyi grew up with Xie Wanyun, although she is more mature than Xie Wanyun, but in the end she is a maid, and she has nothing to do, and when she meets the old lady, she is afraid that she will not have enough confidence.

Sure enough, I answered the first sentence, and I was going to reveal the filling.

The old lady is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and when she looks at the fluttering eyes of the green will, she knows that there is something false in her words, and there is something hidden that she has not said. She glanced at Mama Xin.

Mama Xin gave a look, and soon, Luyi was dragged out. The sound of the board beating outside sounded again, this time mixed with a muffled hum, which made it more picturesque to listen to in the ears.
