CHAPTER XXXI

Meng Shi looked at the reaction of the room full of people, and secretly laughed in his heart, his precious daughter, is really a wonderful person, and I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, Let her say what kind of poison in herself, she has mentioned King Yu several times in a row, Don't you see that some people's faces are getting more and more ugly? However, what's going on with this secret rubbing comfort, It seems that it has not been so refreshing for many years, King Yu is his son-in-law, and he spoils his baby daughter very much, He is Ming Huanghuang borrowing the power of King Yu, and others have nothing to say.

Ye Qian finished speaking, and spread out her two white and tender little hands, "Patriarch Grandpa, you see, my mother has been poisoned for seven years, and the person who harmed her must be from the house, You are the patriarch, I heard that the most fair and strict is the most right, but you must be the master of our mother."

Mei Shi turned his head and glanced at Qi's family, the Qing incense and bird's nest used by the sister-in-law have problems, and they are all from the treasury in the house, and the second sister-in-law can't get rid of it.

Qi Shi has no sense of crisis at all, and is still watching the excitement with relish, this thing is really difficult to do, Meng Shi was actually poisoned, the person who harmed her can't be the old lady, right? How should the old lady get out now?

Ye Li also said: "I invited the patriarch and the clan elders here today, just to hope that the patriarch can uphold justice and give my mother justice." ”

The old lady peeked at the second master, her eyes turned around Qi's body, the second old man frowned and thought for a moment, and nodded imperceptibly.

The patriarch looked at Meng, she looked indifferent, sitting on the chair dignified and elegant, with a son and a daughter separated. The one on the left is only fourteen, but he is already the prince of Jiping, and he can be knighted just by waiting for the crown; The one on the right is even younger, don't look at the fact that she is only eight years old, but she is already the princess Yu who was married by the emperor's holy decree, and it seems that King Yu still cares about her very much. With this son and a daughter, Meng's is a sure winner.

The patriarch turned his head to look at the old lady, "Brother and sister, when the Hou Ye had an accident, the Meng family was sick, how did the problematic Qingqi incense and bird's nest get to her house, do you ...... What do you think? ”

The old lady laughed dryly, "You kid, you have suffered such a big grievance, why don't you come to me, we are a family, how can I watch you being poisoned, you look at you, you didn't say anything, but first found the patriarch and the clan elders." ”

These words are blaming the Meng family for being ignorant, and if something happens, they don't discuss it with the elders in the family first, but instead look for the patriarch with great fanfare. Meng Shi smiled slightly, "Yes, I originally thought that I should let Dali Temple find out the truth, but thinking that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, it is better to invite the patriarch first, if the person who poisoned me is too cunning and even the patriarch can't find out, then it is not too late to report to Dali Temple." ”

Why don't you report to Dali Temple now, Meng also has her own concerns, she can now be said to be a victim, is the object of sympathy, but if she reports this to Dali Temple regardless of it, the old lady will be punished, and when the time comes, she will become an unfilial person. It's ridiculous to say, but the world is like this, no matter how reasonable she is, with only one filial piety, the old lady will naturally have an advantage. Of course, what filial piety, she sneered at in her heart, and she didn't respect her at all for the old lady, but there were some things that were not suitable for the open. Besides, it is difficult to directly bring down the old lady just by poisoning, because it is too easy to find someone to blame.

The corners of the old lady's mouth twitched, Meng Shi is red

The naked threat, if you really report to Dali Temple, then you can't end it. It seems that if you don't give up something today, if you are satisfied with Meng, there is no way to be good.

The old lady glanced at the Qi family with great regret and sighed: "Qi family, how are you in charge, how can there be poisonous things mixed in the warehouse?" ”

The Qi family was watching the excitement, but he might as well burn the flames of war on himself all of a sudden, "Ah, what does this, what does this have to do with me, my sister-in-law's poison is not mine." ”

"If you didn't do it, you can't escape the responsibility for negligence." The old lady shook her head, "It's been seven years since Meng's poisoning, and in the past seven years, the problematic Qingqi incense and bird's nest have been sent from the warehouse, you have to quickly find out the person who poisoned and give Meng's an explanation." ”

"Ah, okay, daughter-in-law, let's investigate this matter thoroughly." Qi nodded in response, isn't it just to find a scapegoat, no problem.

Meng Shi's beautiful lips hooked a mocking smile, if he hadn't invited the patriarch to come, then this matter should have ended like this today, it didn't hurt or itch, and it wouldn't hurt the old lady and Qi in the slightest. It's a pity that she didn't want to give up at all, just wanted to speak, Ye Qian preemptively said: "The second aunt is the person in charge of the feed, there is a problem in the warehouse, the second aunt should avoid suspicion and let others find out about the matter, after all, the second aunt is also suspicious, in case, I mean in case, the second aunt is the one who poisoned the person, or the second aunt is the mastermind behind the scenes, when the time comes, just find someone to blame, isn't it easy?" ”

"You, you girl," Qi wanted to reprimand Ye Qian, but her current identity was the future Princess Yu, since Ye Rong was slapped, the people of Jiping Houfu had a deep understanding of Ye Qian's new identity, and generally did not dare to provoke her, and Qi was no exception, "How could I poison my sister-in-law?" My sister-in-law and I have no grudges. ”

"That's not necessarily," Ye Qian said very seriously: "Originally, the middle feed in this house was in charge of my mother, and my mother was so sick that she couldn't get up, so wouldn't this be replaced by the second aunt?" Although she didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of her words was obvious, it was very likely that the Qi clan would poison the Meng clan in order to win the middle feed.

Qi was speechless, and the old lady spoke: "Okay, okay, since Sister Qian can't trust your second aunt, then it's up to me to find out the person who poisoned her, okay?" ”

"Not good." Ye Qian shook her little head solemnly, "What if, I mean, the old lady is the one who poisoned her?" ”

The old lady was also choked back, and she was really accurate in what she said.

"In your opinion, who should judge the matter?" The clan elder asked, facing the future Princess Yu, even if she was only eight years old, the clan elder was very cautious.

Ye Qian glanced at everyone in the room: "In this family, anyone can be the mastermind behind the scenes, but only the mother can't be, she will never poison herself and make herself unable to get up for seven years, so this trial should be done by the mother herself." ”

Qi's heart jumped, and she suddenly realized what Ye Qian and Meng wanted something. Of course, he and the old lady can find someone to blame, but Meng can take the opportunity to take back the right to feed back.

The patriarch pondered for a moment, and also understood the purpose of the Meng family, "It's okay, the Qi family's housekeeper has made such a big mistake, no matter who the mastermind behind this is, the Qi family is not suitable to continue to be in charge of the Hou Mansion Zhongfang, since the Meng family's poison has been resolved, this Zhongfeng is still in charge of the Meng family, and by the way, the person who poisoned it will also be found." ”

Qi just wanted to say something, but received a warning look from the old lady and the second master, the old lady understood, and the second master also understood that just losing the right to feed was the best solution today.

Qi endured the severe pain in his heart, and said reluctantly: "Then I'll send the pair of cards and the key ledger to my sister-in-law later." ”

Naturally, the right to feed back is to be taken back, but it is not so hasty to come back, Meng Shi smiled: "The key and the account book, it is better to wait for the account to be posted, the inventory is counted, and then handed over to me." If there is any problem, let's make it clear in person. ”

Qi's heart was beating wildly, she had been greedy for a lot of money in the public over the years, and she couldn't help but look at the account book at all, and as for the inventory, it was even more confusing. Usually, the ones in her house and those in the house of her two daughters are taken directly from the treasury, and it is common for something to be broken when she gets angry, and she takes a new one directly from the treasury and replaces it. But in fact, this is not right, the utensils in everyone's house are in the inventory of items, and if they are damaged, they will be compensated, unless they are their own personal belongings. If the Mei family, who had never been in charge of the house, took over, she could still fool the past, but before Meng fell ill, he had been in charge of the Hou Mansion, and it was impossible to fool her.

"Why should my sister-in-law be so serious, we are all a family, and it takes a lot of time to check the accounts or something." Qi Shi laughed dryly.

Meng Shi glanced at her lightly, "Yes, it is a family, and it is a family that will poison and murder each other." ”

The Qi clan shut up, and quickly thought about how to deal with the next audit in his mind, but he heard Meng Shi say: "The patriarch and the clan elders sit down for a while, and accompany me to try this poisoning case, after all, I haven't been in charge of the house for seven years, I'm afraid some people may not be willing to listen to me, besides, the patriarch is here, it can be regarded as a fair witness." ”

The patriarch nodded, today's matter can't be ended in such a hasty way, not to mention that there is a prince and a princess Yu by Meng's side, he has actually made a choice between the Meng family and the old lady, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, isn't it?

The Qi clan was still nervous about her greedy silver, but the old lady and the second master frowned, the Meng clan had already recaptured the middle feed, didn't it seem that they were still satisfied?

Meng Shi knew what they were thinking, of course she was not satisfied, she was a serious Mrs. Hou, and this Hou Mansion Zhongfeng should have been in charge of herself, they poisoned herself, and then took it away from her hands. Now it's just that the things have been returned to their original owners, and the revenge of their own poisoning, the revenge of the Hou Ye, has not been avenged.
