In the Yinian Hall, Lin Nuoya lay on a rocking chair in the courtyard, shielding herself from the sun with a book, swaying and falling asleep.

The girl bellflower lay on the stone table on the side with a sad face, "writing hard". This is the homework that the female gentleman explained to his young lady today.

The old lady was resolute, and after breakfast, she sent a female gentleman in her thirties over, and instructed the girl to go to the steward to get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Lin Nuoya originally only thought that the old lady was asking the female gentleman to preach some women's precepts such as three obedience and four virtues, but who expected that the female gentleman would teach the practice of words with a clear eye.

The sleepy Noya perfunctorily sent the female gentleman away, threw the homework left today to Kikyo, and lay down on the chair and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Ji Pozi was instructed by her to go out, and the two girls were tidying up things in the room for a long time. Kikyo knew that the two of them must be taking advantage of Mrs. Ji's lack of laziness, because the luggage she and her own lady brought over was only a small burden, two or three changes of clothes.

Kikyo's hand holding the pen was a little sour, and he muttered in a low voice: "Miss, this word Kikyo wrote it for you, what if the female gentleman gets admitted to school?" ”

Lin Nuoya is thinking in her heart, a mess, where is there any effort to worry about these? She was thinking about a plan for the golden cicada to get out of her shell, how to get back her deed of sale from Baili Jiu's hand and stay away from this place of right and wrong.

I got up early today for a meal, and I couldn't tell you how I died if I wasn't careful. If he had been living in the General's Palace, it would have been a matter of time before he died young.

Unable to figure it out, Lin Nuoya opened the book in her hand again and rummaged through it carefully to see if she could find some inspiration from it.

Suddenly there was an exclamation from outside the door, quite sharp, so frightened that Kikyo's hand shook, and the brush almost fell to the ground.

Lin Nuoya frowned slightly, and only said lightly: "What's the fuss, the rules of this general's mansion don't seem to be very good." ”

Then I heard a high-pitched female voice faintly crying: "Which person who lacks virtue and smokes did this, how can I explain to the old lady?!" ”

Then there were voices of discussion, and there were people who gave advice.

Kikyo couldn't sit still, put down the pen in his hand, and stood up: "I'll go and see what happened?" ”

Noah thought to herself, more things are better than less, and just as she wanted to dissuade her, Kikyo had already opened the courtyard door and ran out. The morning and evening people in the room also heard the movement and looked out of the window.

Noah shook her head, bowed her head and continued to study the book in her hand, but the noise outside became more and more lively.

Kikyo trotted all the way back, and in a panic covered the yard door, leaning against the door and panting, his little face pale.

Noah glanced at her, continued to look down and concentrate on reading, and only asked, "What's wrong?" Killed? It's panicked. ”

The little girl glanced at the open window, and saw that the four and the two had already shrunk their heads, sitting around the table and taking a lazy nap, so she caressed her heart and said with palpitations: "Miss, I'm afraid I'm in trouble!" ”

Noah put down the book in her hand and raised her eyelids to look at her: "What's wrong with you?" Scared like this. ”

"Miss, I poured the pot of sweet soup into the flower bed yesterday." Kikyo's voice was full of crying.

Noah didn't care at all: "If you don't pour it out, will you eat it?" ”

The little girl cried with a sad face, and she wanted to cry without tears: "I just ate it!" ”

Noah was instantly startled: "What?!" Who ate it?! ”

"I heard that the old lady raised a blue-eyed white cat brought from Persia, and it hurt on the tip of my heart, so I specially found two mothers-in-law to take care of it. Last night, there was a lot of mixed people, and it ran out. Who knew that it would be such a coincidence, and he ran to the backyard garden, ate the sweet soup I poured out, and then died. ”

Kikyo was so anxious that tears crackled down: "If the old lady knows, she will definitely blame me." ”

"What a fuss!" Noya breathed a sigh of relief and lay back down: "It scared me, I thought I was greedy for someone, and it was just a beast." ”

The little girl shook her head with red eyes: "When the Ninth Master bought this beast for the old lady, the silver taels spent could buy more than thirty or forty maids, and the old lady was even more rare." Now that I have been poisoned, I will definitely not escape the blame, I am afraid that I will be beaten to death with a stick. ”

Lin Nuoya counted with her fingers for a long time, only to find that this cat was much more valuable than herself! It's a shame to be poisoned!

She pursed her lips disdainfully: "Look at your little bit of interest, what are you afraid of?" The sky is falling, isn't there still your young lady and I on top? ”

The little girl wiped her tears and pouted, still with a panicked face, like ants in a hot pot.

The door of the courtyard was banged from outside, and Kikyo shrank in fright, and hid behind Noah in a panic, and even his teeth could not help but tremble.

The door was kicked open with a "bang", and six or seven people poured in from outside. The person at the head was the mother-in-law who served Noya tea this morning, with raised eyebrows and an angry face.

Noah's rocking chair was still rocking rhythmically, and she squinted her eyes slightly, with a leisurely expression: "If you ask for peace, you don't have to." ”

The mother-in-law snorted coldly and was about to step forward to question, but someone behind her tightly pulled her sleeve and shook her head to dissuade her from being reckless. The mother-in-law barely suppressed her anger and shook at Nuoya: "The mother-in-law came here because she wanted to ask Aunt Lin about something." ”

"Oh? Is it a question or an interrogation? Noah seemed to be joking, but there was a cold chill in his words.

The mother-in-law smiled reluctantly: "The mother-in-law doesn't dare." ”

"Don't dare to be the best." Noah simply closed his eyes and ignored him.

"Mother-in-law just wants to ask Aunt Lin, where did the supper prepared for you in the kitchen last night?" The mother-in-law kept her voice as low as possible and did not dare to be aggressive.

Noya opened her eyes coldly: "Mother-in-law's question is interesting, where can I go for supper?" Of course, it was eaten in the stomach. ”

"I'm afraid it's not necessarily, right? How did I hear that Aunt Lin threw out all the supper? The mother-in-law said tentatively.

"Pour it out? Why? Noya pretended to be stupid and looked innocent: "Who did you listen to the nonsense that we will dump the supper?" ”

The mother-in-law choked for a while, and said lightly: "Do you know that the old lady's Persian cat ate poisonous things last night and was poisoned?" ”

"Humph!" Noya patted the armrest of the chair and stood up menacingly: "The cat is dead, just find the mother-in-law in charge of the care to hold you responsible, come to me to be aggressive, is this the Xingshi to ask the guilt?" ”

The mother-in-law was conscious and reasonable, and she didn't look at Nuoya in the slightest, twisted her neck and said: "The tiger cat was poisoned after eating the food you poured, who are you looking for?" ”

With a "snap", the mother-in-law was stunned, and the onlookers were also dumbfounded.

No one could see how Noya made a move, but when the figure flashed, the mother-in-law had already received a solid slap on the face, and half of her face turned red.

"No big or small, even if it's my sin, how can you dare to accuse and teach a lesson? With so many people trespassing into my yard without permission, and framing me without evidence, you are a little too arrogant! ”

The mother-in-law was beaten in front of everyone, losing all her old face, although she didn't dare to fight back, she covered half of her face and shouted: "A mother-in-law? Do you really think that you are the lady you are marrying? Actually thinking of himself as a master? You're not as clean as our mothers-in-law who serve people. ”

Ji Pozi learned the news from the outside, and hurried back, the courtyard was already full of people, listening to the mother-in-law's harsh words, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. But the woman didn't appreciate it, and she jumped and scolded like crazy.

Lin Nuoya smiled coldly: "Mother Ji, there is no need to persuade me, give me a hard beating according to her face." ”

Mrs. Ji should have a little friendship with the scolding mother-in-law, and she was a little embarrassed for a while and hesitated.

"Aunt Lin, you are so majestic!" A low shout suddenly sounded outside the courtyard.

The mother-in-law immediately came to her senses, turned around and knelt down behind her, crying bitterly: "Old lady, the mother-in-law is derelict in her duties, and our tiger and cat died so miserably." ”

The gate of the courtyard was already wide open, and the old lady hurriedly walked in with An Ruoxi's support, and her hands trembled with anger: "Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, the old woman's person is also the one you say will beat?" ”

Lin Nuoya stiffened her neck and was not to be outdone: "What does the old lady mean is that Nuoya should sit here in peace, listening to a subordinate pointing at my nose and scolding non-stop?" ”

"Is it possible that you have been wronged?"

"Noah just wants to ask, what kind of grudge can I have with a brute, and do this? Why are you so sure that the cat was poisoned because it ate my food? Lin Nuoya was remarkable.

The old lady turned to look at the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law hurriedly argued: "The mother-in-law has already asked the people in the kitchen, and yesterday I cooked a total of three rice balls, all of which were half-cooked and distributed to the two ladies and aunts."

The two ladies' glutinous rice balls were withdrawn intact after being colded, but Aunt Lin poured them into the flower bed, and all the flowers and plants in the vicinity died overnight. That's why the mother-in-law dared to conclude. ”

Lin Nuoya squinted at her: "You know it carefully. ”

The mother-in-law puffed up her chest proudly: "That's nature." ”

"But on what basis do you assume that I gave this poison? Where did I get the poison? What purpose? ”

The mother-in-law still had a hard mouth: "If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, do you think you don't know the ghosts, and it's seamless?" ”

"Here it is!" Someone outside the crowd suddenly said in a cold voice, and squeezed in excitedly with a pot in his hand: "Old lady, this pot was begged for by Aunt Lin in the kitchen yesterday, and there are still residues on it that have not dried." ”

Noah saw that it was the pot that Kikyo casually discarded under the wall, which was found by a lean red-faced mother-in-law and became evidence against her.
