Chapter Seventy-Three: Who is to blame?

"Mama Lin, right?" Luo Yunshuang glanced at her casually, and said lazily, "Concubine Ben doesn't have time to go around in circles with you, all the meat at today's banquet has deteriorated, as the head of the kitchen, you must know about this matter, you don't have to say a word about those Rory's rambling words, just tell the truth, otherwise, this concubine is good, and this concubine's whip is not good." Go ahead. ”

As soon as the words fell, she bent down and took out a whip from her pony boots and put it on the table, although the voice was soft, but it shocked everyone and even held their breath.

She even brought a horsewhip with her when she came to enjoy the flowers, did she have foreseen that such a thing would happen?

If this is said by someone else, everyone will only think that she is scaring this woman, but everyone in Luo Yunshuang's name has heard it, since she said this, she is naturally really capable of doing this.

Mama Lin is a person from Ning Wangfu, of course, she knows her temperament better than others, her face was horrified, she hurriedly kowtowed to the princess, and knelt down to Luo Yunshuang and begged, "What is the little princess talking about, although the slave maid is in charge of the kitchen, but every dish is not made by the slave maid herself, the slave maid really doesn't know!" ”

Luo Yunshuang glanced at her, ignored it, turned to Mama Tan and said, "Aren't there still a few mothers-in-law in charge of affairs in the kitchen?" Trouble Mama, call them all. ”

"Concubine Ben will give you another chance, say!"

Mama Tan responded, Luo Yunshuang got up, stood in front of Mama Lin, and sneered expressionlessly, "Don't tell the truth, this concubine's whip is endless, you can't stand the pain halfway and want to talk about it, don't blame this concubine for not giving you a chance." ”

Mama Lin's body stiffened, she hesitantly raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Jiang, in front of so many people, it was hard to guarantee that no lady would notice it, Concubine Jiang took a sip of water from the teacup unhurriedly, pretending not to see it.

Luo Yunshuang sneered, "How is it?" Can Mama Lin think about it? ”

"Mama Lin, you have to answer the little princess's question honestly, the rules in our house have always been frank and lenient, if you still want to be cunning, don't blame the rules for being ruthless, the little princess will never spare you, even your daughter will be involved by you! Don't hurry up and recruit from the truth! ”

Concubine Jiang drank vigorously, and the ladies also heard some clues from her words, and interrogated them, what did they do when they involved her daughter? Is this telling her to tell the truth, or is it threatening her?

Mrs. Xing sneered, "Isn't Concubine Jiang used to being the master of the house?" Now that the little princess is trying the case, it's better not to interject, it's not good if you don't have to let people say that you confess. ”

Mrs. Xing spoke too directly, Concubine Jiang suddenly felt disgraced, her face turned red, and she said hurriedly, "What is Mrs. Xing talking about?" As the side concubine of Prince Ning, why should I make offerings with a pickled woman? After all, the palace is still taken care of by me, this woman has made a mistake, I should have asked, the little princess is not familiar with the internal affairs of the palace, I only help the lining, you say that I confess, isn't it too much? ”

"Excessive?" Mrs. Xing asked in a cold voice, "You take care of the palace?" But I don't know this, I only know that everything in this palace is in charge of the princess? Could it be that you are here to enjoy the flowers today? No wonder there is such a big fork, the concubine just can't be on the stage! ”

Concubine Jiang was trembling angrily, she hated others saying that she was a concubine the most, she stood up suddenly, and said angrily, "Mrs. Xing, please be cautious when you speak!" Although I am a concubine, I am the concubine of the prince, and I am more noble than you, the wife of the main family, and the head of the concubine is appointed by the prince, so I'm afraid it won't be Mrs. Xing's turn to make irresponsible remarks, right? Besides, this chrysanthemum banquet was indeed prepared by the princess, and the Japanese side concubine was unwell for a few days, so she temporarily handed over the power of the family to the princess, who knew that in addition to such a thing......"

"Yo, Concubine Jiang is really wronged! But in my opinion, the princess is the head of the Ning Palace, she has been recuperating all these years, and the princess Ning is reluctant to let the princess be tired, so he will temporarily hand over the trivial affairs of this family to you, and now the princess is very good, and it is only right that the housekeeper has to hand over the housework to the princess. Concubine Jiang is seriously ill now, I'm afraid she's tired, right? It's time to be idle, ladies, what I'm saying is reasonable? ”

"That's true," none of the ladies want their power to fall into the hands of a concubine, and they are originally the same enemy in this matter, not to mention that Mrs. Xing supports the princess so much, and all the ladies are busy scolding Mrs. Xing, and naturally they all follow her to speak, "With the concubine here, there is naturally no reason to let others be in charge." ”

"But ......" The smile on Concubine Jiang's face can barely be maintained, and she can't tear her face, if people think that she is fighting for power with the princess, it will not be good, if this matter is known to the princess, the prince will definitely be dissatisfied with her, she can only hold back her anger, and said gently, "It is natural for the princess to be in charge, but the princess has not asked about the affairs of the palace for more than ten years, I am afraid that she is unfamiliar, Ning Wangfu has so many things every day, I am afraid that the princess will not take care of it!" It's only been a few days, and such a thing happened, and I hope that all the ladies and ladies will not go outside, this is really a loss of face for my Ning Wangfu. ”

It's not that I don't hand over the power of the house, it's really that the princess is incompetent and can't take care of the palace well, and it's no wonder that no one is right.

Luo Yunshuang curled her lips and smiled when she heard this, "What the side concubine Niangniang said is very true, if the mother's family really doesn't have the ability to take the family, you can't forcibly take back the power of the family regardless of the good or bad of the palace, right?" ”

Concubine Jiang was stunned for a while, she didn't expect Luo Yunshuang to speak for her, she would definitely not be so kind, why did she do this?

But no matter why, whether she helped herself in the end, Concubine Jiang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Who knew that her heart hadn't let go yet, Luo Yunshuang said again, "But today's matter hasn't been clarified yet, let's ask Mama Lin, and when we ask clearly, we can make a decision, what did Concubine Niangniang say?" ”

Concubine Jiang was stunned, Luo Yunshuang said this, she must let Mama Lin bite to death and not let go, otherwise, with Mrs. Xing and others here today, the power of the family may not be able to be kept!

"It's fair for the little princess to say this, if the princess can still take care of the palace properly, the concubine is naturally willing to rest well."

Concubine Jiang respectfully expressed her heart to the princess, and then turned her head to Mama Lin and said coldly, "Mama Lin, if you don't tell the truth, even if the little princess doesn't do anything to you, I can't spare you!" ”

Mrs. Lin's head was lower, she naturally heard it, if she was relieved today, then Concubine Jiang's power in charge of the family would not be able to be kept, she had always been ruthless, how could she spare herself? Besides, she herself is already a half-old woman, it doesn't matter what happens, but her daughter is still young, pinched in the palm of her hand, how the rest of her life will be, but it all depends on her words today!

"Okay, Mama Lin, I'll ask you one last time, what's going on?"

Luo Yunshuang looked at Mrs. Lin lightly.

Mrs. Lin kowtowed at Luo Yunshuang and made up her mind, "Little princess, the slave and maid really don't know about this matter, there are people responsible for buying and cooking, and the slave and maid really don't know what the problem is!" ”

"I don't know?" Luo Yunshuang lengthened her tone, glanced at Mrs. Lin lightly, and then said in a cold voice, "Someone!" ”

Immediately two guards rushed over outside the door, and Luo Yunshuang said, "Pull Mrs. Lin out and beat him to death!" This kind of pickled stuff that doesn't want to be for the face doesn't deserve to dirty my whip! ”

The guards obeyed the order, and dragged her out despite Mrs. Lin's struggle and begging for mercy, and soon, there was a heart-rending scream outside the hall.

The few women in charge who were kneeling down listened to it, and they couldn't help but tremble, and even the young ladies present were so frightened that their faces turned pale and looked at Luo Yunshuang in horror.

Luo Yunshuang didn't care about those eyes at all, she turned around a few times in front of a few mothers-in-law with her hands behind her back, and said casually, "I don't know a few grandmothers, since you are all in charge of the kitchen, then you are all closely related to this matter, you must have been working in the kitchen these days, and you must know the inside story." In front of all the ladies and ladies, I, Luo Yunshuang, will tell you the truth, I must find out about this matter today, you are useful to me, I will leave your life, and you can still do things in the palace in the future, I Luo Yunshuang does not keep useless people, if anyone is useless to me, I will send her to Mrs. Lin as a companion now, how about it? Who has something to say? ”

The mothers-in-law trembled, but none of them spoke, Luo Yunshuang waited for a while, and then flicked her sleeves impatiently, "No one said?" Forget it, anyway, I have other ways to find out, and it doesn't have to be them! Today, all the ladies and ladies are here to have fun, but you can't be disturbed by these pickles! Come on, all of them are pulled out and beaten to death with sticks, and now the banquet in Tianxian Building should also be delivered, let's have a meal first, and then I'll take care of this matter slowly. ”

The guards came in and pulled the three mothers-in-law who were kneeling on the ground, and when they saw that Luo Yunshuang really planned to kill them, they were so frightened that they begged for mercy again and again, "Little princess, the slave said, the slave said!" ”

Concubine Jiang's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said, "What do you know, tell me clearly!" If you don't tell the truth, this side concubine can't spare you! ”

The mother-in-law was so frightened that her scalp was numb, she glanced at Concubine Jiang, and lowered her head in fright, "The slave said, the slave said...... The slave is responsible for cooking, and the meat that the slave and maid receive is bad! After the slave maid found out, she reported it to Mama Lin as soon as possible, but Mama Lin said that she didn't have to worry about it, just use this to prepare the banquet, and also instructed the slave and maid not to let others know, otherwise the slave and maid would be driven out of the palace, Mama Lin repeatedly assured that she would be responsible for the accident, and the slave and maid ...... this."

"Oh?" Luo Yunshuang rubbed the whip in the palm of her hand, "Who gave you that meat?" ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly said, "It's Mama Wang, who is in charge of purchasing." ”

As soon as the words fell, the other mother-in-law climbed forward two steps with a pale face, and said in a panic, "The slave knows that it is wrong, the slave knows that it is wrong, and the slave and the maid all say it!" ”

Seeing this, Luo Yunshuang snorted coldly, "It turns out that you are Mama Wang?" Hmph, if it hadn't exposed you, you wouldn't have said it! It can be seen that you are a dishonest person, the ingredients purchased in the other courtyard are used to prepare the banquet, and you actually provide some bad meat? Mama Wang, what else do you have to say? ”

"The slave knows what is wrong!" Mama Wang couldn't stop kowtowing and said, "It's all Mama Lin, she asked the slave to do this, and the slave doesn't dare to disobey when she does things under her!" ”

"Isn't that right?" Mama Tan frowned and said, "When I went to the kitchen to check yesterday, the vegetables and meat were all fresh, why did you say that it was bad when you bought it?" ”

"Huh?" Luo Yunshuang was surprised and said sharply, "You still refuse to tell the truth?" I'm really impatient! ”
