Chapter Twenty-Eight: Who the Hell Is

 : : : :Xiao Yu looked at Madame's face, her bright face was already full of tiredness, and her eyes were full of worry about her children. Is it the same for all mothers in the world, Xiaoyu remembered her parents in her previous life, she crossed over and came here, her parents must have thought she was dead, she must be sad.

 : : : : Thinking of this, she was so sad that she couldn't help but lean on her wife's arms and cry. Mrs. patted her back lovingly, and couldn't help but smile: "Oh, I looked like a little adult just now, why did I cry when I turned my face." Xiaoyu wiped her tears embarrassedly and said, "Madam, when I see you, I think of my mother, I haven't seen her for a few days, I miss her." ”。

 : : : :Mrs. put her arms around her lovingly and said: "Poor one, you were a maid at such a young age, and now you are separated from your mother, staying alone in this Hou Mansion, you are not familiar with life, no wonder you feel uncomfortable." From now on, I'll let them ask you about your mother's life every day to tell you, okay? ”

 : : : :Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "Madame treats me like a daughter, with Madame here, although I care about my mother, I can't live up to Madame's sincerity." Madame stroked Xiaoyu's hair and sighed: "Xiaoyu, it's rare for you to be so reasonable. You have also seen the situation of my family, Heng'er is too young, Pan'er's body is useless, Hou Ye has been away for a long time, and there are open guns and hidden arrows everywhere outside, it is really difficult for me to support this Hou Mansion alone! ”

 : : : :Xiaoyu looked up at Mrs. and said, "Madam, big sister will get better, and I will help Mrs. solve problems." Madame smiled and patted her face lightly and said, "Okay, then it's decided, I'll wait for Xiaoyu to solve my problems in the future!" Look at your little face."

 : : : : Immediately, Mrs. asked Ziyan to send Xiaoyu to the inner room to tidy up her appearance. Xiao Yu washed her crying face, Zi Yan took an ice handkerchief and dressed her crying eyes, retouched her makeup, and brushed her hair that was a little loose. Xiao Yu walked outside and found that his wife had gone to the flower hall, so Xiao Yu also walked into the flower hall.

 : : : :Zi Yao and Xiao Lu were already kneeling in the flower hall, and the lady sat on the top without saying a word, and the whole flower hall was silent, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.

 : : : :Xiaoyu returned to Mrs. and sat down, Mrs. took a sip of tea and said, "Xiaoyu, you came just in time, you come to ask." ”

 : : : :Mrs. Xiaoyu nodded, and then said directly to Zi Yao: "Sister Zi Yao, why did you poison Moli?" ”

 : : : :Zi Yao raised her pale face when she heard this, shook her head again and again, and said, "No, no, the slave and maid were not poisoned." ”

 : : : :Xiao Yu listened and said, "Oh, yes? But the doctor found poison in the ink on the inkstone and the brush! This ink was made by your own hands, and no one else has ever approached the inkstone, so who is not you who poisoned it? ”

 : : : :Xiao Yu took something from Bai Fu's hand, threw it in front of Zi Yao and said, "In order to prove your innocence, do you dare to taste this ink strip?" It turned out that what was thrown in front of Zi Yao was the ink strip that Zi Yao used to grind ink today.

 : : : :Zi Yao looked at the ink strip on the ground in horror and shook her head again and again. Xiao Yu said to Zhou's mother again: "Zhou's mother, what kind of ink is used in Pingsu Mansion?" Mother Zhou shook her head and said, "Second Miss, the slave doesn't care about the purchase of the four treasures of the study and study, this matter has always been the responsibility of the housekeeper in the outer courtyard." Xiaoyu said softly to Zhou's mother: "Then bother my mother to pass Butler An over." ”,

 : : : :When Steward An arrived in a hurry, Xiaoyu pointed out the used ink strip on the ground to Steward An: "Steward An, take a closer look, you are responsible for buying this ink?" ”。 Steward An had vaguely heard that something had happened in the study in the inner courtyard, but it was not clear what the specific thing was, and this Xiao Yu said that it was related to the ink he bought, so he was so frightened that he couldn't kneel, and even picked up the ink strip with a rolling belt and looked at it carefully.

 : : : :He just looked at it twice, and said happily: "Mrs. Hui, Second Miss, this ink, this ink is not bought by a small one!" "Steward An, human life is at stake, you have to watch carefully!" Madame slammed the tea bowl she had been holding on the table.

 : : : :Butler An wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, he knew that if he answered carelessly, he would fall into a big trouble.

 : : : : "Mrs. Hui, the ink purchased by the small one has always been Hui ink, which is as hard as jade, and there are lines on it like rhino horns, and this Hui ink has a fragrance, which is very different from the ink on the hand." After speaking, Steward An asked people to go to the study to get another unopened ink strip.

 : : : :"Madame, please see, the ink used in the study has always been this good Hui ink, and this ink is rough, there is a smell of tung oil, it should be made of tung oil smoke, it is a common road goods outside, I never buy this kind of inferior ink."

 : : : : Madame asked Zi Yan to present the two inks to look at them, then pointed at Zi Yao and said sharply: "You slut, what else do you have to say now!" Zi Yao fell to the ground, kowtowing again and again, crying silently.

 : : : :Zi Yan has always been good friends with Zi Yao, seeing that Zi Yao only cried and didn't speak, she only stomped her feet in a hurry, and said in a loud voice: "Zi Yao, you said, did you do it." Madame has been so good to us, for so many years, why are you here, why are you so confused! Tears also fell on Zi Yan's face as she spoke.

 : : : :Mrs. stared at Zi Yao tightly and said, "Zi Yao, who instructed you to poison Heng'er, say!" Without saying anything, she took her whole family and sent it to the official for investigation! ”。 Hearing this, Zi Yao raised her head from the ground in horror and shouted, "Madam, madam, I don't want to, they kidnapped my brother!" ”。

 : : : :Madame slapped the table angrily when she heard this: "Zi Yao, why are you so stupid, why don't you tell me when they threaten you, we can find a way for you." Say, who are they, and what's the matter with your brother? ”。

 : : : :Zi Yao sobbed and choked. It turned out that Zi Yao's elder brother Ping Suri was idle and had nothing to do, and he loved to mess with a bunch of gangsters all day long. But Zi Yao's younger brother is a reading seed and is diligent and studious.

 : : : :Zi Yao's whole family wanted to provide for her younger brother to study, and they all pointed to Zi Yao's little money to live, and Zi Yao also asked someone to exchange it for silver and take it home. Who knew that a few days ago, Zi Yao's brother came to her and said that he owed gambling debts, and the gangsters kidnapped his younger brother.

 : : : :Zi Yao was so angry when she heard this, and she was worried about her brother's safety, so she had to find a way to pay off her brother's gambling debts. Who knew that my brother cried and said with a sad face that he owed three thousand taels of silver, Zi Yao listened to it like five thunderbolts, her monthly money was only one hanging, and she couldn't pay back the three thousand taels of silver even if she didn't eat or drink for a hundred years.

 : : : : Just when she was in tears and had no master, her brother leaned close to her ear and whispered that those people don't have to pay back, just Ziyao needs to do one thing. In order to save her younger brother, Ziyao had to respond.

 : : : : The day before yesterday, her brother came to her again and took out an ink, and asked her to replace it with ink when she was waiting for the little master's pen and ink. She repeatedly asked her brother if the ink was poisonous, and the brother swore that the ink was not poisonous, but a little laxative, so that the little master could pull some stomach, and they would disguise themselves as Taoist priests to come to the Hou Mansion to cheat money.

 : : : : "I was fascinated and worried about my brother for a while, so I responded." Zi Yao cried and said. Madame shook her head and sighed: "Why are you so stupid, do you think those people will let your brother and your brother go, if you had told me the truth about this earlier, why did you get to such a point!" It's a shame that I still teach you on weekdays, but when it comes to a critical moment, you are confused! After speaking, Madame asked someone to send a message to the commander of the Hou Mansion's guards, and asked her to immediately send someone to Zi Yao's house to bring her whole family.

 : : : :Zi Yao listened to Madame's words, and her whole body trembled: "Madam, Madame means that even if I do something for them, they will not let our whole family go?" ”

 : : : :Mrs. looked at her compassionately and said meaningfully: "Don't you know who those people are, the most secret-keeping people in the world are dead people." They asked you to murder the little marquis of the Hou Mansion, this is a big crime, do you think they will wait for the matter to be revealed and let your brother confess them all? You're so stupid! After speaking, the lady shook her head with a sigh.

 : : : : "No, no, they're going to talk." Zi Yao hid her face and cried. Madame sighed and said: "Expecting these people who eat people and don't spit out bones to talk is undoubtedly seeking skin with tigers, you just wait to see the results, I have asked people to mention your whole family." ”

 : : : : About half an hour later, the guards in the outer courtyard came in and said that they had come to Ziyao's house, and found that the whole family of five had died tragically, and it seemed that they should have been poisoned by aconite. When Zi Yao heard this, she screamed and cried to death.

 : : : :Mrs. shook her head, sighed, and said, "The murder of her master is an unforgivable sin, and when she should have done this, she should have thought that it would be the time when her whole family died." Mother Zhou, spread the word out, take the name of the Hou Ye and report to the official, and let the government fall. ”。 Zhou's mother stepped forward and asked her mother-in-law to block Ziyao's mouth and drag her out.

 : : : :Zi Yan suddenly knelt down and said: "Madam, Zi Yao usually serves Madame with all her heart, but this time it was just that her family was coerced and made a big mistake for a while, so I beg Madame to open up and spare Ziyao's life!" ”

 : : : :Mrs. shook her head and said: "Zi Yan, you are also confused, when Zi Yao was poisoned, she was poisoned, and I broke off with her." The Hou Mansion does not need to be lynched, it should be sent to the government for investigation, and any crime should be committed. It's time for me to tidy up in this house, and my hands have come to my yard, what's the matter! ”

 : : : :Zi Yan saw that Mrs. was right, so she kowtowed and begged: "Then ask Mrs. for mercy, and let me give Zi Yao a ride then!" ”

 : : : :Madame nodded and said, "Get up, you're a nostalgic person." On the government side, you should take care of it, don't let her suffer too much in prison, and bury her family after the government checks it. Zi Yan replied in a low voice.

 : : : :Mrs. said to everyone in the flower hall again: "Today's events, everyone must control their mouths, and do not spread the word." If I hear that someone has ulterior motives to chew his tongue, he will be sent to the official for complicity! Everyone knelt down and swore that they would not talk nonsense, and then dispersed.
