Steward Xu took the heads of each room and courtyard of the Mu family to sit in the side hall of the dining room to eat, and the affairs of the main hall were clear at a glance, and he was already waiting for Mu Zhizhao. Mu Zhizhao gave an order, and he immediately took action, asked the family to stabilize everyone, and then looked at Uncle Wang, the head of the room.

Uncle Wang is a middle-aged man of nearly 50 years old, who has worked in the Mu family for nearly 30 years, and is one of the oldest elderly people in the Mu family. He has been in charge of the kitchen for twenty-five years, and he has never had such a thing, so he was so frightened that his face was pale, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Master, it's not an old slave, if it is poisoned by an old slave, it is impossible for an old slave to sit here." ”

Mu Yunge nodded in agreement: "Dad, it can't be Uncle Wang." According to the rules of the room, before the meal is served, the chef will try it, if Uncle Wang poisoned him, he would have died of poison. ”

Uncle Wang had Mu Yunge speak for him, glanced at her gratefully, and nodded hurriedly.

Mu Zhizhao also knew that it could never be Uncle Wang, so he immediately let him get up first.

"He can also try it and then poison it!" Arlan was shocked and blurted out.

Mu Yunge glanced at her, frowned in disgust, and didn't speak.

Pei Xin despised her for not understanding the rules, and explained on her behalf: "You have also been in the Mu family for many years, don't you know the rules of the Mu family?" After the chef finished tasting, he immediately brought the food to the atrium for insulation, and only served it on the table when the meal was ordered. ”

As soon as he spoke, Yalan looked embarrassed and shut up stupidly.

"Uncle Wang, who is your attack today?" Mu Yunge asked Uncle Wang while watching Yaxin's expression seriously.

Yaxin sat with her head down, not saying a word from beginning to end, even her eyes were quiet, without the slightest wave.

Uncle Wang trembled and got up, his forehead was full of cold sweat, his hands were shaking, and he dragged the corner of his clothes and recalled carefully: "Miss Hui, today's Lantern Festival family banquet, the masters ordered it to be extraordinarily rich, and the old slave was too busy alone, so he called all the people in the room to help." In addition to the girls Su Qiu and Su Dong who are there on weekdays, the family is big and strong, and they have found Yuyuan and Yuying to work together in the small kitchen in the lady's courtyard. Lao Nu and Da Man are in charge of the chef, Yuying and Yuyuan are in charge of selecting and washing vegetables, vigorously responsible for cutting vegetables, and it is Su Qiu and Su Dong who serve the dishes. ”

Steward Xu listened, retreated, and brought these people with him in a short time.

These people had heard about what had happened in the dining room from outside the hospital, and they were all pale and almost unsteady on their feet.

Mu Yunge looked at it, whispered a few words to Steward Xu, Steward Xu went out, glanced at them, and said, "Yuying Yuyuan comes in, and the others are waiting here." ”

In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on Yu Ying and Yu Yuan. The two looked at each other, their eyes full of horror, but when they looked at each other, their eyes were full of resentment and hostility.

The two entered the main hall, and Mu Yunge motioned to Steward Xu to bring Yuyuan to the side hall, leaving Yuying behind, before asking: "Yuying, I believe that you are not the murderer who poisoned you, but in order to prove your innocence, you have to tell me everything that happened this afternoon." Who has been exposed to food? ”

Yuying's heart settled down a little, thought about it, and said: "Miss Hui, the slave remembers that the only people who have come into contact with food in the afternoon are Uncle Wang, Daman, and Su Qiu and Su Dong, who served the food. Oh, by the way, during the period, Su Qiu had something to leave, Su Dong couldn't be busy alone, and Yuyuan also helped bring the food to the middle hall once. ”

Mu Yunge nodded in understanding: "What kind of dish is Yuyuan serving?" ”

Yuying paused and whispered, "It seems to be codonopsis soup and corn pork rib soup." ”

Mu Yunge smiled slightly, comforted her a few words, and asked Steward Xu to take Yuying to the side hall and bring Yuyuan over.

As soon as Yuyuan came, Mu Yunge asked her the same question as Yuying.

Yu Yuan knelt on the ground and said eloquently: "Miss Hui, the slave maid has always been used to choosing vegetables and washing vegetables in Madame's small kitchen, and it is the same in the big kitchen. The slave and maid were too busy to notice who had been to the atrium and touched the food. ”

Mu Yunge said with a smile: "But Yuying said that you have also been exposed to food during the period. ”

"Yes, once." Yuyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "The greens are not enough, Uncle Wang asked Su Qiu to buy them, Su Dong was too busy, so the slave maid helped to order two dishes." ”

Mu Yunge smiled and asked her to get up, "Which two dishes did you order?" ”

Yu Yuan tilted her head, thought carefully for a while, and shook her head: "Miss, today's Lantern Festival banquet, there are more than 100 large and small dishes, and the slave really can't remember clearly......"

Mu Yunge patted her, asked Steward Xu to take Yuyuan out, let Su Dong and Su Qiu come in, and asked the question just now. The two of them spoke the same and answered the same thing, Mu Yunge finished asking, and then said: "Who bought today's dishes, why didn't you prepare enough vegetables, so you have to buy them halfway?" ”

Uncle Wang said: "The dishes are all sent from Zhuangzi, and they just ran out." ”

Mu Yunge groaned slightly, and he already had the answer in his heart.

Mu Zhizhao watched coldly, and naturally made a decision, looking at the frightened and pitiful Yuying.

Steward Xu has been following Mu Zhizhao for a long time, and he has already figured out his thoughts, leaving Yuying behind and bringing everyone else down. Mu Yunge noticed that when Da Man left, he glanced at Yu Ying in a complicated way, and stopped talking.

She beckoned to Pei Xin and whispered a few words in Pei Xin's ear, Pei Xin quietly withdrew, chasing after Da Man.

Seeing that everyone was gone, only she was left behind, Yuying's little face suddenly turned pale, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. She writhed her body uneasily, and watched helplessly as Uncle Wang and Da Man and the others left. Inadvertently made contact with Daman's gaze, and her eyes immediately showed a pleading, almost crying. Da Man didn't start, absent-minded, his feet slipped, and he almost tripped over the stone steps, Uncle Wang hurriedly helped him and glanced at him warningly, and Da Man reluctantly followed him away.

Seeing this, Yuying's eyes were suddenly filled with despair.

Mu Zhizhao took in this scene, slapped the table, and shouted: "Okay, you Yuying, what point is my Mu family sorry for you, you are the girl in the lady's room, and where is the lady sorry for you, you have to do such a hurtful thing!" ”

"Slave maid...... Slaves don't! Yuying shook her head again and again, tears rolling down.

Mu Zhizhao said: "You still say no! Let me ask you, since you don't have the intention of harming anyone, why do you always pay attention to where the guys in the room have gone and what they are cooking? ”

Mu Zhizhao is the master of the house, although he is gentle, he is rarely angry, but he is also quite thunderous, Yuying was suddenly frightened and softly lying on her stomach. She was in a cold sweat, and in the winter, the jacket she wore was soaked.

Mu Yunge took the opportunity to shout: "At this time, you still want to quibble, don't die?" ”

Yuying's teeth chattered, and she almost bit her tongue several times, and she was so anxious that she rubbed the corners of her clothes uneasily. She had words of suffering, she didn't dare to admit it, and she didn't dare not admit it, and as time passed, endless despair surged in her heart.

At this moment, Daman, who was supposed to leave, suddenly rushed in from outside the door, and suddenly knelt beside Yuying, his face was as pale as Yuying, and the sweat on his head wet the hair on his sideburns, he knelt heavily and urgently, and there was a loud sound, and Mu Zhizhao and others all looked at him.

I only heard Daman's voice choked, and said word by word: "Yuying, you can confess to the master and the eldest lady!" Otherwise, we don't even want to settle down in the future! ”

Pei Xin slipped in quietly and whispered to Mu Yunge, "Miss, Da Man has a problem with Yuying. ”

Mu Yunge looked at her suspiciously, and was about to ask in detail, but Da Man knelt in front of Mu Zhizhao again, kowtowed again and again, and cried: "Master, eldest lady, Yuying was also forced to be helpless, and she made a mistake in a moment of confusion, begging the master and the eldest lady to spare her life!" ”

Yuying's face was as pale as a ghost, and she looked at him in shock.

Mu Zhizhao snorted coldly and turned his head to look at Mu Yunge. These are family matters, Mu Yunge has recently become the housewife, and these will be handed over to her to be in charge and give herself an explanation.

Mu Yun Gelian moved lightly and looked at Daman: "Spare her or not, I have my own decision, you just have to tell me everything about it." ”

Da Man said: "The slave and Yuying have known each other since they were young, and our two families are door-to-door neighbors. Later, Yuying's father suddenly went, and Yuying's mother had no choice, so she sold Yuying to the Mu family. The little one was really worried about her, so he chased Yuying to Mu's house. Originally, I planned to go to my wife in a few days, begging my wife to make the decision and marry Yuying to the younger one, but my wife happened to be happy to recuperate, so I had to put this matter aside. ”

When Xiao Shi heard this, he sighed and said, "Since you are in love, you should have told me earlier." Shouldn't...... You shouldn't poison my son! ”

"Madam, the little one also wants to, but didn't the Mu family make a rule, saying that the girls in the master's room are less than twenty, and they can't get married?" Da Man said: "Because of this restriction, the slave and Yuying had no choice but to hide their thoughts. ”

Mu Yunge frowned: "What do you say this have to do with her poisoning." ”

At this time, Yuying, who had been burying her head and not speaking, suddenly raised her head and said in a sad voice: "A few days ago, the slave maid and Da Man met in the small kitchen, and when it came to marriage, they couldn't help but be ...... I didn't pay attention for a while, and I was looked at. When the woman was gone, she came out and threatened the slave and maid, saying that there was something for the slave and the maid to do, otherwise, she would tell the old lady about it, and the lady would definitely sell the slave and the maid to the lowest kiln! ”

"Slaves and maids should not murder their masters, but the woman said that if the slaves and maids do not do so, not only the slaves and maids will die, but the big barbarian brother will also die. She also wants to kill the slave's mother and the barbarian's father, and let us all go to hell. Yuying paused, cried and said, "The slave maid originally refused, but she said that the medicine was not poison, and the master should not be able to go to other aunts' rooms for a while." The slave and maid relied on her...... Miss, the slave really doesn't know it's poison! If the slave and maid knew, they would give the slave and maid a hundred guts, and the slave and maid would not dare to put it in the soup! ”

Mu Yunge's eyes shot coldly at Daman: "So, you already know that there is medicine in the soup?" ”

Yuying shook her head: "Da Man doesn't know, it was the slave who did something wrong, and her expression was wrong, and Da Man only told him when she asked." ”

"You just said, that woman?" Mu Yunge tapped on the table, and his phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously.
