Chapter 113: The Law of Elimination

"Granddaughter, thank you grandmother for making it happen." Chen Ying bowed and said sincerely.

I have to say that as the highest power in the back house of the Guogong Mansion, Mrs. Xu's mind is still quite sober. If it was an ordinary person, as soon as Xu said this, it was likely that this matter would have to be put aside first. After all, the face of the housemother is there, so you have to take care of it. Moreover, once this kind of thing is investigated, it will definitely hurt the muscles and bones, and damage the harmony and dignity.

However, Old Madam Xu knows better than anyone that compared with the so-called decency or harmony, whether the atmosphere in the house is correct or not is the most important.

The Guogong Mansion, which has always been known for its strict governance, actually made a trouble, and if it is handled vaguely, the atmosphere in the mansion will become more and more crooked, and that is the real source of trouble.

Thinking in his heart, Chen Ying turned to Xu and said in a calm voice: "First of all, this thing appears in the Guogong Mansion, and if the matter is not noticed by me, then the next thing is that the paper figure will be discovered by my grandmother, and then I will be punished." In other words, this thing will ruin my reputation, but it will be only as bad as it is, and it will not be bad to the outside, after all, it is only a matter of the house, and outsiders do not know about it. This shows that this was done by the people in the mansion, and they were very cautious when they did it, and they didn't want to bring the reputation of the entire Guogong Mansion for me alone. ”

"I don't know." Shen immediately picked up the conversation, with a sneering expression on his face: "If someone outside did it, then it would not only be to light things up in the house, but to choose the place with the most people and the most lively, and let you show your ugliness in the public, so that it is the most effective." ”

Although she has limited means, she still understands the basic principles of the inner house battle, which is quite incisive.

Chen Ying nodded and said approvingly: "The third aunt said very well. And the niece also came to the conclusion that this nightmare thing was made by an insider, not an outsider. In other words, the people who want to frame me are in the remaining three rooms except for the second room. ”

After a few words, the atmosphere in the room became a little tense inexplicably.

Shen Shi moved his body a little uneasily, and even "snorted" from his nose, and said unconvinced: "The words of the three girls may not be. Maybe someone in your second room doesn't like you, the master. ”

"The third aunt didn't understand me." Chen Ying patiently explained: "I am talking about the real instigator of this case, not the executor. After all, if this thing can be put into my study, it must be the hands and feet of someone in the second room. But this subordinate must have been instructed by others to do this. As for the reasons for my inference, I will explain them at once. ”

Speaking of this, she turned to Xu and said, "Auntie, you can first see whose eight characters are written on the back of that paper figure." ”

When Chen Ying handed over the paper figure, it was placed on the case face up, and Mrs. Xu had not turned it over, so until now, everyone didn't know who this thing was cursed for.

Hearing what Chen Ying said at this moment, Xu Shi glanced at her hesitantly, but saw that Chen Ying was also looking at her, and those extremely clean eyes seemed to reflect people's hearts.

Somehow, looking at such a look, Xu instinctively wanted to follow the other party's words.

She turned her head and looked at Old Madam Xu inquiringly.

Old Madam Xu took a leisurely sip of tea and said lightly, "You just go and see." ”

"Thank you, old lady." Xu said respectfully, got up, took the paper figure, turned it over and looked at it, and his face changed suddenly.

Shen Shi was already so anxious that he almost scratched his ears and cheeks, and he couldn't care about anything else at this time, so he forcibly leaned over and stretched out his head to take a look, and then rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, and then let out an exclamation: "Ouch, my Buddha, why did you write Sister Lu'er's birthday?" As she spoke, she looked at Chen Ying with a pair of extremely wide eyes, and there was obvious schadenfreude in her flickering eyes: "Three girls, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Chen Ying didn't reply to her, but continued the topic: "This is the reason I said before. The real culprit who framed me was not someone in the second room, but someone else, and this person is still the master. After all, there is the master's birthday written on it, and the subordinates can't get it at all, so they can't inquire about it. ”

Birth is the most taboo thing, how can the master tell his subordinates casually? Even the most trusted servant could not know in such detail, and Chen Ying's inference was reasonable.

Shen thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case, so he said: "This is also true. ”

Chen Ying pointed to the paper figure again and said, "There are several wrong words written on it: the Yin character is missing, the Si character is not sealed, etc., there are about two or three errors." ”

Xu Shi had actually seen it a long time ago, but the more she did, the more ugly her face became.

She raised her hand and threw the paper figure on the case, and looked at Chen Ying coldly: "Three girls, what's going on?" ”

If these eight characters are good, Xu can still have a refutation, but these eight characters are written incorrectly in several places, and this matter is more and more like the purpose of Changfang.

Let's ask, how can a mother curse her daughter, how bad is that? And these miswritten words happen to be the embodiment of a mother's heart.

Xu couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly.

This bureau is really set up very well, and the magic is that this specious birthday is eight characters, trapping a long room.

"Next, I want to use the method of elimination to reason...... Deduce. Chen Ying's voice rang out, quiet and clear, as if he was not disturbed by external objects at all.

At this time, Xu was not in a hurry.

She turned back to the chair and sat down, put on a posture of listening to her ears, and said lightly: "Okay, just listen to what the third girl has to say." ”

Chen Ying twisted the corners of her mouth, stretched out her hand and pointed to the writing paper on the big case, and said: "After entering the Mingyuan Hall, I saw that the eldest aunt was discussing the matter of writing with my grandmother, and I knew that this nightmare had nothing to do with the eldest aunt. ”

Without saying the reason, the conclusion was given in advance.

Xu's complexion immediately softened.

"And what do you mean by that?" The Shen family on the side was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he interjected and asked at this time.

Chen Ying said: "This is actually easy to guess. If the thing that is victorious is the eldest aunt or someone has put it into the Mingfeng Pavilion at the behest of the long house, then the matter of asking the grandmother to check the big characters today will not be done by the uncle's mother. Because it is too obvious to do so, with my grandmother's discernment, after the incident, I must be able to think of the long house immediately. My aunt has always been a smart person, and she would never do such a thing that ignites her body. ”
