Chapter 31: Framing

The eldest lady glanced at Su Wanqiu and said meaningfully: "This Shen Xiqing doesn't know what he can do, no wonder he is so miserable." ”

The corners of Su Wanqiu's lips curled upward, and she smiled warmly: "What my mother said is true, but this play has been changed by the troupe owner, and in the end it is a happy ending." ”

The eldest lady smiled faintly and did not say a word.

At this time, the play on the stage was being played to the moment when the wind and rain were coming, and the ladies and ladies in the audience watched intently.

On the side, the maid walked to the old lady's side with the medicinal soup and said softly, "Old lady, it's time to drink the medicine." ”

The old lady nodded, and took the soup bowl, but just as the old lady was about to drink it, a maidservant suddenly rushed up and knocked over the soup bowl.

The sound of the soup bowl shattering suddenly sounded, and I saw a lot of debris on the ground, and the medicinal soup was also splashed everywhere.

The scene fell silent for a while, and everyone was stunned.

Even if the old lady has cultivated herself all these years, her face can't help but be filled with anger, she slapped the table and said, "You evil slave, are you crazy?!" ”

Mother Cui, who was beside the old lady, hurriedly stepped forward to ease the old lady, turned her head and glared at the girl, and said, "Chunxing, do you know what you are doing?!" ”

Chun Xing knelt on the ground with a thud, and suddenly burst into tears: "Old lady, it's not that Chun Xing is crazy, this medicinal soup is poisonous." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

There were all the noble ladies of Linchuan, in front of these people, but the dignified Pingyang Hou Mansion made such a thing, wouldn't it be a loss of face for the Hou Mansion?

The eldest lady shouted: "Chunxing, what nonsense are you talking about? This is the medicinal soup that the third lady sends to the old lady every day, how can it be poisonous!? ”

Chun Xing knelt on the ground, her body trembling constantly: "Big lady, the slave doesn't dare to talk nonsense, the slave maid saw Sister Chu Yu replace the original geranium seeds in the medicinal soup with incense. ”

The old lady's face turned blue all of a sudden, and she looked shocked and angry, but she glanced at the eldest lady, she was indeed old, but she was not stupid.

Chu Yu's face also changed suddenly, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Wanqiu shaking his head slightly, so he couldn't help but make no sound.

The eldest lady had an extremely angry expression on her face, but the corners of her lips involuntarily hooked up a smile, she pointed at Chunxing, and scolded sharply: "Chunxing slandered the third lady in public, dragged out and scolded a hundred with a cane!" ”

The eldest lady seemed to excuse Su Wanqiu every word, but she secretly involved Su Wanqiu in the whirlpool, and disposed of Chunxing so unexplained, didn't it make Su Wanqiu sit on the charge of framing the old lady? When the time comes, it won't be able to be washed anyway.

Don't say it's a hundred rods, even if it's just fifty rods, looking at Chunxing's petite body, she will be killed on the spot.

"Wait." Su Wanqiu said lightly, turned her head to look at the eldest lady, "Mother, since this girl said that I poisoned the old lady, I must ask clearly." ”

The eldest lady sneered in her heart, but there was a look of embarrassment on her face: "Late autumn, but if this girl really said something......

"Let her speak!" The old lady snapped.

Su Yu and Su Jin, who were originally entertaining male guests in the front hall, also rushed over when they heard the sound.

Su Jin glanced at Chunxing, and said lightly: "Chunxing, do you know what the crime of framing the master is?" ”

"Big brother, what do you mean by scaring Chunxing like this?" Su Xueyi's crisp and pleasant voice sounded, "Is there anything you can't say that Chun Xing can't say?" ”

Su Yu said coldly: "Shut up and listen to her." ”

Chun Xing trembled and said: "That day, the slave maid saw that Sister Chuyu replaced the geranium seeds in the kitchen with incense, and the sunflower seeds alleviated the old lady's condition, but the incense will make the old lady's condition more serious, and the slave maid was afraid of the third lady's punishment, so she didn't dare to say more, but just now she saw that the old lady was about to drink it, so she thought about going up to stop it." ”

When Su Wanqiu heard this, she let out a long sigh, and her face was a little sad: "What reason do I have to hurt the old lady?" ”

The old lady nodded lightly, as long as the old lady is fine, Su Wanqiu can always be sheltered, but if something happens to the old lady, it is the middle lady who is in the middle of the big lady's arms, it can be said that there are indeed people in this mansion who hope that the old lady will have an accident, but it is not Su Wanqiu anyway.

"This ...... How can this slave and maid know? "Chun Xing is a little unconfident.

Su Wanqiu smiled and said, "I can't imagine that Chun Xing can still distinguish between geranium seeds and incense, the first rain, you go and get some." ”

Chu Yu took the order and left, but Chun Xing was at a loss, not knowing what the third lady meant.

The eldest lady frowned: "Late autumn, what are you doing here?" ”

Su Wanqiu said very calmly: "Of course I want to prove my innocence, is it difficult to let this girl slander me?" ”

After a while, Chu Yu took a little geranium seeds and incense and put them in front of Chunxing.

Chu Yu raised his chin and said, "You can tell which one is a geranium seed and which one is a fragrant one." ”

Chun Xing was stunned for a moment, she was just an inferior girl, she had never learned to distinguish medicinal herbs, how could she know the difference between geranium seeds and incense? The previous words were just what the eldest lady taught her.

"This ...... The slave maid ......" she was speechless, and after a while, she pointed to one and gritted her teeth, "The one on the right is a geranium seed, and the other one is incense." ”

She had no choice but to guess blindly, in short, whether it was right or wrong, it was half possible, and she could only gamble like this.

"You can say the opposite, the one on the left is the geranium." Su Wanqiu was very sorry.

Chun Xing was dripping with cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the slave maid made a slip of the tongue just now, and this one on the left is." ”

"Qingya, you come." Su Wanqiu smiled faintly.

"Yes." Qingya nodded, then stepped forward with a smile and said, "The one on the right is the geranium seed, the spring apricot girl guessed correctly at first, the geranium seed is soft, the surface is wrinkled, and the incense is hard, and there are hairs on the joint, which is easy to distinguish." ”

Everyone looked at Chunxing, and they all understood, how could a person who couldn't even distinguish between geranium seeds and incense attachments know that the girl next to the third lady had replaced geranium seeds with incense?

Su Yu looked at Chun Xing coldly and said, "Who taught you these words?" ”

Chun Xing opened her mouth, but she couldn't even say a word, and she glanced at the eldest lady several times in a dodgy manner.

The eldest lady coughed lightly.

A girl beside the eldest lady immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground, bowed her head and said, "It was the slave maid who saw the girl of the early rain replacing the medicinal materials that day, so she told Chunxing, although Chunxing can't distinguish the medicinal materials, but the slave and maid can distinguish them." ”

Su Wanqiu couldn't help but smile and said, "You, a girl in Fu'an Courtyard, how can you see what is happening in my yard?" It's amazing. ”
