Su Ke saw Mei's increasingly painful expression, and was very impatient to entangle in these trivial details that could not be decomposed, and then said: "Mother, Chen's heart is malicious, so naturally he wants to shirk it in every possible way, Chanjuan has a lot ......of friendship with her, but everyone knows it, and there is that gold pendant."

"Yes, Mrs. Tai Mingjian, even if the slave maid is bold one day, she doesn't dare to lie, it is indeed the aunt who Grandma Li handed over the gold pendant, and the slave and maid also overheard their conversation, saying that they wanted to poison Aunt Mei's medicine through Chanjuan." Lan Xin said impatiently.

"If you already knew, why didn't you report it?" The eldest princess snorted coldly.

Lan Xin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead, and she kowtowed tremblingly: "Mrs. Tai forgives her sins, the slave is just a maid after all, and she doesn't dare to say more." ”

"I don't dare to say much, but you have a lot of words at this time." The eldest princess shook her head and glanced at the Mei family: "This matter was reported to me by the Chen family early in the morning, and the gold pendant was also handed over to me, originally she was coerced by her in-laws, and she was worried that the second daughter-in-law was worried, so she discussed with the four girls, and the four girls didn't know what to do for a while, so they thought of me, I can't figure it out, if the Chen family is really harmful to people's hearts, why should they be honest about it?" ”

Su Ke didn't expect that there was such a layer of things, he was stunned for a while, and he also had a lonely doubt in his heart, and his gaze at Chen was not as sharp as just now.

Ritchie already felt that his mind was in chaos, and he couldn't care about redress at this time, and he stood in his chair like a stake.

Of course, there was Mei Shi, who wanted to secretly look at the eldest princess's expression, but happened to meet two cold eyes, lowered his eyes in a panic, and pinched the wrist of the silk handkerchief and finally couldn't help but tremble.

The eldest princess didn't let it go, and still stared at the Mei family: "Chanjuan is your maid, since you let her wait for the decoction, it must be a useful one, otherwise you wouldn't know that she has some friendship with the Chen family, and she is so laissez-faire." ”

Mei's heart tightened, and he looked at Su Ke as if he was asking for help, but seeing that he was just frowning and pondering, he couldn't help but secretly scream that it was not good - she had wasted all her efforts to plan such a plan, and she couldn't let Li's get out of it today, she gritted her teeth, and seemed to be trying her best to endure the grief in her heart, and still replied gently: "It's all because the concubine is negligent, thinking that Aunt Chen used to be well-behaved, so there was no defense." ”

"In this way, you are also sure that it is the poison of the Chen family?" The eldest princess asked.

"Mrs. Tai, although Aunt Chen has reported to you earlier, it may not be just a cover-up, after all, everyone knows that she and Chanjuan are good, but I am afraid that I can't get rid of the suspicion, so I plan for a rainy day...... The concubine's miscarriage was indeed caused by taking abortion drugs, and Chanjuan did find a gold pendant there, if it weren't for her, who else would there be? Mei didn't dare to look at the eldest princess, and only looked at Su Ke: "Second master, after all, it is your flesh and blood, and the concubine doesn't dare not pursue it...... Besides, Aunt Chen did go to Tongyouting, and Chanjuan did die there......"

Su Ke had a little doubt at this time, and was shaken by Mei's tears again, and stared at Chen fiercely before saying to the eldest princess: "Mother, what Ah Mei said is not unreasonable. ”

"Ke'er, since Mei's pregnancy, you have rarely set foot in Canglang Garden, why did you go back yesterday?" The eldest princess asked unhurriedly.

Su Ke was stunned again, but had to answer: "It's because Ah Mei is virtuous and persuades me to go and see Ritchie." ”

"It's a coincidence of virtuousness." The eldest princess frowned: "For so many years, the Mei family has never been so virtuous, but just yesterday, it suddenly became virtuous." ”

If Su Ke was not in Canglang Garden yesterday, and Aunt Chen waited for the Li family to disappear in the Tongyou Court for a long time, for the sake of safety, she would definitely go to find out, if she knew that the Li family did not have this instruction at that time, I was afraid that she would be suspicious of Lan Xin, who passed the word - at that time, Chanjuan may not have had a corpse, if Li and Aunt Chen were suspicious, and went to Tongyouting to find out, would they just witness the murderous scene?

According to Yijing's speculation, the Mei family should be completely sure, the Li family is jealous, and the Chen family has always been cautious, when he knows that Su Ke is in Canglang Yuan, he will never disturb the two, so he is rarely virtuous.

Su Ke also heard the irony of the eldest princess, although she wanted to defend the Mei family, she didn't dare to contradict her mother.

The Mei family has already come to her senses, knowing that the eldest princess wants to defend the Li family, where is she willing, all she can rely on is Su Ke, and she resolutely can't let him waver at this important juncture, and she is so anxious that she knelt on the ground again: "Mrs. Tai, do you suspect that the concubine did not hesitate to harm the fetus in her womb and frame the Chen family?" Mrs. Tai Mingjian, because the concubine suffered from the cold when she was in the boudoir, it was not easy to get pregnant, and she would never be so ruthless. Speaking of which, I almost fainted, and my body was even more shaky

Su Ke was heartbroken by Mei's grief, grievances and desolation, and knelt down: "Mother, Ah Mei was originally from a scholarly family, knows books and etiquette, and will never do such a vicious thing, mother ......"

Xianghui also stepped forward on her knees at this time, knocking her head with a "bang": "Mrs. Tai, the slave maid is my aunt's personal maid, and she has been serving since she hit the Mei family, and my aunt is kind when she is young, this Mrs. Tai also knows, how could she do such a vicious thing, and ask Mrs. Tai to learn and give her aunt justice." ”

"You maid is a faithful protector." The eldest princess said coolly.

Mei hurriedly reprimanded in a low voice: "Xianghui, you are presumptuous." There was another burst of begging, saying that Xianghui was a maid who was waiting for her, so as not to be anxious for her, so she didn't choose her words and asked the eldest princess for forgiveness.

Seeing that the eldest princess was unmoved, Mei bit her teeth and kowtowed, becoming more and more pitiful.

Su Ke really couldn't bear it, and he wanted to help Mei Shi up.

"Let her kneel." The eldest princess decisively stopped it.

Mei was completely stunned.

All this seems to be out of her predestination, in her opinion, the eldest princess has long been dissatisfied with Ritchie, that is, she gritted her teeth and tolerated it because of the reputation of the body, but this time it involves heirs, and there is a life, the eldest princess should no longer defend Ritchie, how do you look at the current situation, the eldest princess is completely disregarded?

"Mother...... Ah Mei, she just suffered from the pain of miscarriage...... "Su Ke still wants to intercede."

"If she doesn't support it, why drag her sick body, and she has to watch you divorce your wife." The eldest princess said coldly: "I think that although she has just had a miscarriage, she is very energetic. ”

"Mrs. Tai, the concubine knows that her status is low, but that child is also your grandson." Mei's heart was in turmoil, and her emotions of unwillingness and resentment were like a surging tide - over the years, the eldest princess had ignored the old feelings, although she had accommodated her as a second-room concubine, but she ignored her, and things had come to such a point that she still had to support Ritchie: "Mrs. Tai, this matter is clearly Mrs. She instructed the Chen family to ......"

"Mei, you are so bold, you are just a concubine, you dare to defile the main room!" The eldest princess shook her head: "If you don't show evidence today, I won't be able to tolerate you." ”

Pressing each other step by step, it is obvious that Mei and Ritchie do not coexist.

Xianghui couldn't help it anymore: "Mrs. Tai is so unfair, the slave saw Aunt Chen's sachet fall on the scene of the murder, if it wasn't for the person she killed, who else could there be?" Although the aunt is a concubine, she is also the daughter of the second master's teacher, and Mrs. Tai can't treat her aunt like this. ”

Yijing looked at Su Ke and saw that he was obviously suspicious at this time, so he gradually stood up and stood silently.

The eldest princess's attitude was too resolute, and she was sure that it was the Mei family's blame, and although Su Ke was partial to the Mei family, she believed that the eldest princess would not be like this for no reason.

Mei obviously noticed that Su Ke had been shaken, so he was willing to give up, and prostrate in front of Su Ke and begged: "Second master, the concubine understands that she should not disobey her father and Mrs. Tai's wishes, and she should listen to the arrangements of the elders to marry someone else's wife, but the second master, the concubine is really unwilling, and the concubine has a childhood friendship with the second master, as long as she accompanies the second master, the concubine is enough for this life, and finally has the flesh and blood of the second master, how can the concubine give up the child with the second master in order to frame others...... Over the years, has the concubine ever been disrespectful to the second lady? But this time, the concubine body is really unbearable, and the second lady is harming the flesh and blood of the concubine and the second master. ”

Originally, the Mei family only aimed the spearhead at the Chen family, but under the "persecution" of the eldest princess, she couldn't hold it back anymore and wanted to fight with the Ritchie sword.

"Mrs. Tai asked the concubine for evidence, is what Xianghui said not evidence?" Mei hid her face and cried: "Mrs. Tai, Xianghui is a concubine's maid, you don't think her words are enough to believe, but that sachet is indeed Aunt Chen's thing......"

"How did Aunt Mei know?" The one who asked was the beautiful scene.

"It was recognized by the slave maid, at that time, because she saw Chanjuan die, the slave and maid were shocked and afraid, and she didn't think of the origin of the sachet for a while, and then she remembered to see Aunt Chen with her." Xianghui hurriedly explained: "If Wu Niang doesn't believe it, you can ask Lan Xin, she is Aunt Chen's personal maid, and she must know this." ”

Lan Xin hurriedly admitted: "The sachet was indeed embroidered by Aunt Chen's own hands, and the slave maid saw her on her yesterday, but when she changed clothes at night, she disappeared." ”

Yijing smiled: "Since the sachet was picked up by Xianghui, it was handed over to my grandmother, Lan Xin, you haven't seen it, so you are sure that it is Aunt Chen's thing?" ”

Lan Xin was stunned on the spot.

Yi Jing then asked Chen, who had been watching coldly: "Aunt Chen, did you wear a sachet yesterday?" ”

"The concubine did wear a sachet." Chen replied in an orderly manner: "Coincidentally, when the concubine returned to the house from Tongyouting, Lan Xin unintentionally splashed the tea on the concubine's skirt, and the sachet was also wet with the tea. ”

Yijing turned around again and said to the eldest princess: "Grandmother, can you show Aunt Chen the sachet?" ”

The eldest princess knew that her granddaughter was digging a pit and setting up a trap, so she let her play, so she only bowed slightly.

Aunt Chen naturally recognized that the sachet was indeed her own.

"This is strange, this sachet was clearly taken away by Lan Xin, how could it end up at the scene of the murder? Could it be that the murderer who killed Chanjuan turned out to be Lan Xincheng? Yijing looked at Lan Xin, his gaze was not sharp, it seemed to be playful.

Lan Xin suddenly thundered: "The slave and maid did not stay in the Tongyou Court, how could they kill Chanjuan, this is the aunt in order to get rid of the crime, she defiled the slave maid, how could the slave and maid pour tea on the aunt, and she was really wronged." ”

"But you didn't see this sachet just now, so you are sure that it is Aunt Chen's, why? I think you are colluding with Xianghui and trying to trap Aunt Chen in injustice. Yi Jing raised her eyebrows: "Second uncle, the truth is really quite true, Lan Xin, this maid deliberately falsely spread the words of the second aunt and coaxed Aunt Chen to go to the secret court, as for the purpose, it is nothing more than to cause Aunt Chen to kill the suspicion, so she deliberately made an excuse to leave for a while, and specially had a dispute with the maid in my courtyard, so that there are witnesses." ”

"When Aunt Chen returned to the house, she deliberately wet her aunt's clothes, took off the sachet on her aunt's waist, and handed it to Xianghui, Xianghui was looking for Chanjuan last night, and the house was known, and this morning, she found Chanjuan's body, this sachet was also found by her at the scene, and all this is really seamless."

After saying this, Yijing shook his head regretfully and sighed lightly.
