Pei Shu went with a smile, and Chen Ying took Xunzhen and a few mothers-in-law back to the color shed.

There were two mothers-in-law guarding outside the shed, and when they saw her coming, they were busy lifting the curtains, and saluted with a smile: "Say hello to the girl." ”

These are all servants of the Chen family, Chen Ying greeted him warmly, and then he entered.

Banxia was cowering in the corner.

I don't know who gave her a small pestle, she sat in a panic, and when she saw someone coming, she shrank more and more into a ball, trembling all over, as if she had no strength to get up.

Today's thing, their group of servants, I'm afraid that none of them will be good, she is now six gods and no master, entrusting herself to the small pestle, her lips are blue and her face is white, and her teeth are rattling.

Chen Ying sighed, waved everyone away, ordered Xunzhen to guard the door, and immediately sat down at the side of the desk.

On the small case of vermilion lacquer, the eight treasure plum blossom boxes are still there, and the candied dim sum is full of flowers, as if there are still beautiful people to taste.

Chen Ying couldn't help but be in a trance.

Just a few hours ago, she and Wang Minyi also sat here, drinking hot tea, eating delicious snacks, and occasionally talking and laughing, which was also comfortable.

At that time, she didn't know that when she returned to the color shed, the girl on the other side was already seriously injured, and a fresh life was on the verge of death.

Life and death, it turned out, were only a few hours apart.

Chen Ying sat in a daze, and after counting her breaths, she subconsciously reached out and picked up a plum blossom cake from her box.

The mouth is crunchy, sweet and delicious, with a hint of plum fragrance between the lips and teeth.

It was a familiar taste, but when she tasted it, it was ...... Something is different.

Chen Ying swallowed the pastry and poured tea in the pot.

The freshly brewed hot tea is steaming, and the handle is also slightly warm, holding it in the palm of your hand, you have a kind of certainty for no reason.

Chen Ying picked up the porcelain cup, blew the snow foam on the tea, and took a shallow sip.

A little floating chaos gradually dissipated with the warmth of this throat.

It was quiet in the house.

Banxia always sat with her head down, her hands and feet were soft and collapsed, as if someone had pulled out her bones, and she couldn't even cry, and she only trembled.

Chen Ying looked at her for a while, put down the teacup, and asked softly: "Banxia, why didn't you stay with the third girl when the incident happened?" ”

Banxia's body shook.

Chen Ying had actually asked this question a long time ago.

It's just that Chen Ying instinctively thinks that the breaking point of this case may be in these seemingly inconspicuous confessions, so she asked again.

Maybe it's because Chen Ying's attitude is very gentle, or maybe because she is not from the Wang family, half of her own tension and fear have gradually eased.

She raised her head, glanced at Chen Ying quickly, lowered her head in fear, and said in a very low voice: "Return...... Back to Miss Chen's words, the maidservants were all sent away by the girl. The girl said that she wanted Yingluo strings, and ordered the maid to fetch it, and the maid went to ...... I went to get it. ”

"Why did you girls think of asking for Yingluo'er?" Chen Ying asked again.

Banxia swallowed her spit and said, "The girl was praised for her beautiful clothes, and the girl from Hanlin Mansion said...... said that the girl's clothes were exquisite, and she must be lined with colorful jewels before she ...... It's more beautiful. ”

After saying a few more words, her nervousness seemed to be relieved, and her voice became more coherent: "Later, the girl remembered that there happened to be a string of Yingluo in the makeup box, so she ordered the maid to get it, and the maid went. ”

Chen Ying let out a "hmm" and was silent for a while.

She also asked this question, and what Banxia said twice was basically the same.

Chen Ying picked up the teacup and observed Banxia without a trace.

Banxia Wu lowered his head, exuding a sense of frustration from the inside out, and his expression, movements, and posture were not unnatural.

Although he is not an interrogation expert, Chen Ying still knows some basic micro-expressions, and judging from the information of all parties, what Banxia said is basically true.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Ying changed the question: "You must be the only maid next to your girl, so why is there no one else around her after you leave?" Where have everyone else gone? ”

Banxia's fingers were clasped on his knees, his finger bones were white, and his voice was extremely soft: "Back to your words, in addition to the maid, there is also a shiso and a few rough mothers-in-law by the girl's side." Because when the first was enjoying the scenery in the lightning strike wood, Shisu accidentally broke her foot, and the girl was kind enough to order the mother-in-law to help her walk slowly, and the girl came back with only the maid. ”

Chen Ying nodded, took out two pages from his sleeve, and looked at them carefully.

Here's the briefing she did.

Because the content of the confession was too cumbersome, and nearly 50 people provided testimony, she did not have time to transcribe it, so she had to extract the key points first and selectively compare them.

Banxia's confession is completely integrated with the rest of the people, and there is nothing special about it.

"How did Shiso get his feet?" After thinking for a moment, Chen Ying asked.

Although she thought that even if Zi Su and Banxia were present, they would not be able to stop the assassination of the fake county lord, but she still had to ask.

When Banxia heard this, her eyes turned red, and she said in a low voice: "Back to Miss Chen's words, there are many big stones near the lightning strike wood, because the girl has to climb to the stone to see the core of the tree, Zi Su couldn't persuade her, so she said to explore the way for the girl, but she slipped and lost her foot." ”

"Well, why did the three girls climb to the rock? Is there someone pouting? Chen Ying asked, her soft and quiet voice with a bit of inducement.

Banxia shook her head: "Back to the girl, no one picked up the girl, the girl was going by herself, and the other girls kept persuading, but the girl refused to listen, until Zi Su Wei broke her foot, and the girl didn't mention it again." ”

Chen Ying bowed her head and frowned.

Still can't find any flaws.

Everyone's confessions are coherent, and there is no logical flaw.

According to Chen Ying's experience, there is a ninety percent chance that such coincidences that do not affect the overall situation, and they are real coincidences.

As mentioned above, even if Wang Minyi is surrounded by maids and mothers-in-law, as soon as the fake county lord comes, they can only kneel down to salute, and it will not prevent him from killing people.

Chen Ying's eyebrows were frowning, and she always felt that there was a very key point in this confession, which she ignored.

"Girl, the little marquis is here." Outside the curtain, there was a sound of truth-seeking.

Chen Ying immediately came back to her senses and said, "Please come in." ”

The voice landed, the brocade curtain was tall, but it was Pei Shu who lifted the curtain and walked in.

Xun Zhenquan puffed out his mouth behind him.

Why does the little marquis love to rob people so much.

She is the first-class girl, and she should have done these jobs, but the little marquis didn't give her a chance every time.

Xun Zhen snatched a look at Pei Shu with all his strength.

It's a pity that this glance can only be slashed on the back of the iron plate, and it doesn't work at all.

Chen Ying caught a glimpse and couldn't help but laugh.

Pei Shu didn't know that he had offended people again, so he walked in with Lehehe, didn't look elsewhere, and walked to Chen Ying with his hands open, his wet fingertips were still dripping.

"Bring it." He pouted at her sleeve, his eyes crooked with a smile.
