Chapter 005: Pearl Frosting
"Third sister, but I don't know what Taozhi said, where shouldn't I be?" Chen Yi picked up the topic and asked, a very shallow smile appeared on his pale face, and in an instant, it was like a cloud breaking through the moonrise, beautiful and charming, and the entire flower hall was a little brighter.
Chen Ying twisted the corners of her mouth: "I just said that I asked someone to trot back and forth from the flower hall to the clean room, and then from the clean room to the flower hall, and it took half a moment." And when Miss Peach Branch followed behind the big sister, it was impossible for the big sister to trot to the clean room, right? ”
"Of course." Chen Yi covered his sleeves and laughed, "I don't think any girl from any family will never trot and walk." Speaking of this, her gaze slid to Guo Yuan, who had a calm face on the side, and raised her eyebrows: "Did the county lord of Xiangshan say it?" ”
Guo Yuan didn't speak, and the arrogance in his eyes had been replaced by coldness.
"Thank you, big sister." Chen Ying bowed to Chen Luo, and her gaze slowly swept over the flower hall: "Since this is the case, then there is a problem: if you don't run, for most of the time, Miss Taozhi will never be able to finish such things, and she will never be able to come back to serve snacks to the table." ”
"Not necessarily." Guo Yuan finally couldn't help it, and said with ridicule: "Taozhi must have walked all the way to the clean room, but she can run faster when she comes back." In this way, the time is also compatible. ”
"The county lord is wrong." Chen Ying looked at her seriously and said, "Miss Taozhi not only 'walked' to the clean room, she also witnessed the process of my eldest sister falling jade and stepping on jade, which took a lot of time. And what I call someone to run back and forth is really running back and forth, without any delay in between. Frankly, I've been talking about it for half an hour. If the county lord doesn't believe it, there are sometimes leaks over there, you can ask the maid to try it in person and see if you can finish everything Momozhi said in most of the time. ”
Guo Yuan closed her mouth tightly, her face sinking like water.
She also knows the location of the clean room, and knows that finding someone to try it will only get worse and worse.
"Well, now that we know that there is an obvious time loophole in Miss Momoeda's testimony, and most of the time is not enough to complete what she said in her testimony, then we can conclude from this that Miss Momoeda lied." Chen Ying's voice rang out, still as calm as water, just like her person.
She paused here to deepen everyone's impression, and then said: "According to this conclusion, the so-called facts based on this lie, that is, the series of incidents of my eldest sister stealing jade, falling jade, and stepping on jade, Taozhi did not witness it at all. In other words, Momoeda has committed perjury, and everything she says is a false accusation. ”
After calmly saying this, Chen Ying gave the final conclusion: "To sum up, the following conclusions can be drawn: My eldest sister is not a thief, she is wronged. ”
The girls in the flower hall all put away their expressions of watching jokes.
This Miss Chen San is so smart, it's surprising.
opened the gap from the place that everyone ignored, not only defeated Taozhi's testimony in one fell swoop, but also returned Chen Lu's innocence in a few words, and when he was doing this, he almost didn't have a conflict with Guo Yuan, and achieved his goal calmly and calmly.
It turns out that such a method can still be used to crack the trap, which makes the girls who are used to watching the inner house drama have a refreshing feeling.
"The servant is indeed ...... It's true that I'm not telling the truth. The weak voice of the peach branch rang out, like a light wind, sweeping past everyone's ears.
She hung her head low, trembling all over, as if she was terrified: "Son...... The frosting on the sleeve of the maid was not actually stained in the flower hall, but the maid was actually ...... Halfway back from the clean room...... Servant ...... Folded to the kitchen. This frosting, want to come...... I think that's what I got on at that time. ”
Tears suddenly burst out of her eyes, and she crawled to Gu Nan's feet on her knees, crying, "Second girl, forgive ......"
"Wait." Chen Ying interrupted her very abruptly.
Taozhi choked, and before he could speak, Chen Ying asked very quickly: "Do you want to say that you went to the kitchen to steal your mouth, so there was frosting on your sleeve?" ”
Momozhi still had tears in her eyes, her face was sluggish, and she didn't react a little.
Chen Ying stared at her intently and repeated, "You went to the kitchen and ate snowflake peach cake, yes, or no?" ”
Pressed by her like this, Momozhi nodded subconsciously.
She really wanted to say this, so she ran to ask Gu Nan for her guilt, but she didn't want to be stopped by Chen Ying.
"Miss Peachbranch, could you please answer me with yes or no, did you steal a snowflake peach cake in the kitchen?" Chen Ying asked for the third time, and her voice was extremely clear
Taozhi quietly looked at Guo Yuan, who was calm on the side, and finally said, "Yes...... Yes......"
"Okay, I see." Chen Ying twisted the corners of her mouth, raised her hand and made a gesture of please: "You can continue to cry." ”
Momozhi froze.
Even though she still had tears in her eyes, Chen Ying said this, somehow, she couldn't cry anymore.
The flower hall was silent, and even a very low sound of laughter and discussion rang out.
This Chen San girl talks and acts, it is really weird, but it is quite interesting.
Chen Ying didn't care what everyone thought, she just raised her hand, "brushed" the ground, took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, looked at Gu Nan and said, "Second Miss Gu, is there a mother in your mansion who is about forty years old, medium in stature, with a long thin face, and a mole on the back of her hand, surnamed Zhou?" ”
This whimsical question made the discussion in the flower hall gradually become quieter again.
Gu Nan looked helpless, and said: "Hey, this is true, our family does have a mother Zhou who looks like this, she is the manager of today's flower hall." ”
"That's good." Chen Ying was relieved, turned to everyone and held up the piece of paper: "Everyone, please see, this is the testimony I got from Zhou's mother, and it has already been drawn, please take a look." ”
She turned the direction so that everyone could see the eye-catching red handprint on the paper, and said slowly: "Mother Zhou said that the icing ingredients on the snowflake peach cake are quite precious, and there are a lot of pearl powder in it, I think Second Miss Gu also knows it." ”
Gu Nan let out a "hmm", which was considered to be an admission of her statement.
Chen Ying twisted the corners of her mouth at her: "What I say next, if there is anything wrong, please ask Second Miss Gu to point it out immediately, okay?" ”
Gu Nan didn't even say "um" this time, only nodded, and didn't look at Guo Yuan's increasingly dark face.
Chen Ying had already turned to everyone at this time, and said calmly: "Mother Zhou said in her testimony that because pearl powder is not an ordinary object, and the ingredients of frosting are also a secret method, every time she makes a snack, she weighs the pearl powder in advance according to the number of people and registers it, and then the chef makes the frosting by herself one day in advance, puts it into a special box, and hands over the key to the mother of the treasury to keep it. ”
