As he spoke, the look in his eyes changed to a kind of indifference that had never appeared before.

Rao is smile and look a little strange: "Miss." ”

"Go and bring some water, and don't let anyone know." Shen Yuyao just commanded softly.

There was no longer the slightest hint of despair in his eyes.

With a smile, he had to wipe his tears, stood up and went out to serve water.

Shen Yuyao was lying on the bed, looking at the curtain on the top of the bed, not knowing what she was thinking.

She should hate him, but she can't hate him now.

Thinking in her heart, Shen Yuyao clutched the sheets under her tightly, and muttered in her mouth: "Hua Zhen, all this is your harm, I must you taste everything I suffered today." Even if you die, I won't let you go!"

Saying this, the hatred and humiliation in my heart seem to be much less.

Hua Zhen didn't know what was going on here, and when she returned to the courtyard, she saw Mama Cao waiting at the door.

In the evening, because of the prince's affairs, Mama Cao went back to rest, and when Hua Zhen got up, she hadn't come over, so Hua Zhen just took Jiaoyue Jiangfu to the eldest lady's courtyard.

Mama Cao also heard the news, and when she saw Hua Zhen coming back, she was a little worried and felt even more guilty, she naturally didn't want anything to happen to the prince, and of course she didn't want Hua Zhen to have an accident, no matter which of the two of them had an accident, she couldn't give an explanation to Queen Renxiao.

"The county lord. ”

Looking at the look in Mama Cao's eyes, Hua Zhen understood, and when she heard the words, she just nodded and did not speak.

Kyaukyue didn't know what was going on, and she was still wondering in her heart.

The county lord has always respected this Mama Cao in the palace, why does it seem that there is a contradiction today.

I was curious, but I didn't dare to ask.

followed Hua Zhen directly into the house.

Seeing this, Mama Cao also followed in, poured tea for Hua Zhen, and then said softly: "The slave heard that the eldest lady was poisoned." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded, and looked at Mama Cao: "I just ate the hibiscus cake." ”

Mama Cao frowned slightly when she heard this: "I'm afraid the county lord should be careful, now that the eldest lady has been poisoned by arsenic, the Shen family will definitely take this opportunity to attack the county lord." The flaws of the Shen family will be reported, even if they know that this matter was not done by the county lord, I am afraid that they want to implicate the county lord at this moment, and the county lord must not be unguarded. ”

Listening to Mama Cao's words, Jiaoyue also reacted and nodded again and again: "County Lord, Mama Cao is right, this Shen family has always been eager to kill the county lord, and now that the eldest lady is dead, they must hate the county lord." Now that we are in the courtyard, they can say whatever they want when they close the door, and what should they do if they frame the county lord when the time comes. ”

Hua Zhen glanced at Jiang Fu when she heard this: "Since this hibiscus cake was sent by Shen Yujing, you go out to inquire, when Shen Yujing went to buy arsenic, someone must have seen it." By the way, he sent someone to keep an eye on Shen Yulin. ”

Hearing this, Jiaoyue was stunned: "What is the county lord staring at her?"

Hua Zhen didn't say anything when she heard this, just now when Shen Yulin said that to her, she felt that this Shen Yulin was not simple, and remembered the ingenious thing last time.

It was Shen Yulin who proposed to go to Prince Li, and when she was coincidentally preparing to backlash, she also said something bad.

She didn't know what Shen Yulin's identity was in the middle, but she always felt that Shen Yulin was not something to mess with.

It's always good to be on guard.

It's just that she doesn't need to explain these words to Kyaukyue.

Jiang Fu responded respectfully when she heard this, and then went down to make arrangements.

Mama Cao frowned slightly as she looked at the sky, and said softly: "I'm afraid the county lord won't have a good night's sleep tonight, while it's still early, it's better to go to bed and rest first, the province has no energy tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at the night outside and nodded.

Mama Cao and Jiaoyue waited to enter the house and lie down.

I slept for only two hours, and I listened to the noise outside the yard.

Then the voice of Kyaukyue came over in the courtyard: "Who are you, the county lord is still resting, and you are not afraid of disturbing the county lord's rest with such a noisy shout." If the county lord doesn't have a good rest, will you bear this sin?"

Hearing this, a strange man's voice sounded: "This girl, we are also ordered to handle the case, the Duke of Jin Guo went to the Yamen to say that the county lord of Qinghe was suspected of poisoning Mrs. Jin Guo, Lord Yin of the Beijing Mansion asked the county lord to ask a few words, and asked the girl to understand, please get up quickly, and follow me back to the yamen." ”

Hua Zhen frowned slightly when she heard the voice, and looked at Mama Cao, who was waiting beside her, and her face turned cold.

"What's going on out there?"

Hearing this, Mama Cao's face was also a little ugly: "It's the official of Jingzhao Mansion, and I want to ask the county lord to come over and ask questions." ”

Hua Zhen nodded and looked out through the window.

Jingzhao Mansion, I didn't expect you to really not give up.

sneered in her heart, and asked Mama Cao to bring her clothes over and wait for her to put them on.

Then Mama Cao helped her open the door and went out.

I saw that Jiaoyue also stopped the yacha of Jingzhao Mansion outside.

Listening to the movement, she looked back at Hua Zhen coming out, and Jiaoyue hurriedly ran over, looking at the yacha of Jingzhao Mansion with coldness in her eyes: "County lord, these yacha said that the county lord poisoned the eldest lady and asked the county lord to come to the hall for questioning." ”

Hearing this, Yacha's face suddenly became a little ugly: "This girl's words are so biased, the little one didn't say that the county lord killed someone, but the Duke of Jin Guo went to Jingzhao Mansion to say this, and the little one is just an errand officer, and Lord Yin asked the little one to invite the county lord over." The little one never said that the county lord was a murderer. ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion and nodded: "Is it my uncle who said that I poisoned my aunt?"

Hearing this, the yacha hesitated for a moment and nodded: "It was the Jin Guogong Shangfu Ya who said this, and there are witnesses who testify that the county lord ordered her to do it, and now everyone is in the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, just waiting for the county lord to go over and ask." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded: "Since that's the case, I'll go with you." ”

Because it was not long after dawn, the people doing business on the street had just opened the door, and there were not many people.

Look at the yacha with a beautiful woman dressed in fine clothes and walking towards the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

Immediately, everyone was curious, wondering what crime this girl had committed, and why she had been taken to the yamen early in the morning.

I also followed a lot of good things to watch the excitement.

When Hua Zhen arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, he looked at the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, Shen Chongmao was sitting on the side, and on the ground was the maid with red sleeves kneeling beside Shen Yujing.

followed Shen Songqiao next to him, and when he saw Hua Zhen coming, his expression was a little complicated.

Lord Yin of the Mansion Liu Weigao sat on the top of the public hall, and when he saw Hua Zhen coming in, he was shocked and asked coldly, "Is the hall the county lord Hua Zhen of Qinghe?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen was blessed: "Exactly, I don't know what happened to the adults summoning Hua Zhen to pass through the hall?"

Hearing this, Jingzhao Mansion pointed to the kneeling red sleeves on the ground and asked, "Do you know this person?"

Hua Zhen glanced at Red Sleeves, saw Red Sleeves kneeling on the ground, lowered her head, and immediately nodded: "This is the maid who is waiting next to my third cousin, named Red Sleeves." ”

"Today, Mrs. Jin Guo was poisoned in the mansion because she ate a plate of hibiscus cake with arsenic, do you know about this?"

Hua Zhen nodded when she heard this: "Hua Zhen has been in the house, and when something happened, she also went to take a look, and she knew it." ”

"Okay, now the official asks you, can the matter of Mrs. Jin Guo being poisoned in the mansion have anything to do with you?"

"Since it has nothing to do with it, Mrs. Jin Guo is Hua Zhen's aunt, and she has no grievances with me, how can I poison my aunt. Hua Zhen looked at Liu Wei's face and said calmly.

Hearing this, Liu Wei pointed to the red sleeves: "But she said that you gave her this hibiscus cake, and asked her to find Ruyi, the maid of Songhetang, and asked Ruyi to send it to Mrs. Jinguo's room, and also pretended to be the concubine of King Qi, which poisoned Mrs. Jinguo, but is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen glanced at the red sleeves, and looked at the red sleeves as if she was iron-hearted, and she knelt on the ground and didn't react at all.

Immediately said coldly: "My lord, there is no such thing at all, I only know this red sleeve, I am not familiar with it, and I don't have a good relationship with my third cousin, I have never spoken to them, how could I let her go to find Ruyi to harm her aunt, and ask your adult to investigate." ”

Shen Chongmao, who had been standing next to him when he heard this, looked at Hua Zhen with a cold face: "Hua Zhen, are you still unrepentant?" Red Sleeves has already explained everything. I really didn't expect that because your aunt wronged you once, you would hold a grudge and kill you. Hua Zhen, although I said that you are not surnamed Shen, but in the Shen family, I am sorry for you, I treat you and my own daughter even closer, but you poisoned your aunt like this, and now you still want to quibble, isn't your conscience eaten by dogs?"

Listening to Shen Chongmao's words, the look in Hua Zhen's eyes turned cold, and she immediately said: "Uncle, Zhen'er doesn't know what you're talking about, Zhen'er hasn't poisoned her aunt, and she doesn't have this thought, so my uncle should understand." Now with the words of a little maid, my uncle is going to put my aunt's death on Zhen'er's body, please forgive Zhen'er for not being able to obey her fate. ”

"Hua Zhen, is this how you talk to your uncle?

"Then according to my uncle's meaning, my uncle slandered me and killed my aunt, I obviously didn't do anything, but I have to admit it, is this filial piety?" Hua Zhen was not nervous at all, and looked at Shen Chongmao's gaze.

Immediately, the onlookers began to talk.

Indeed, if people don't do this, they have to confess their sins because of filial piety.

Shen Chongmao didn't expect to come to see so many people, and he was suddenly a little annoyed.

But he couldn't get angry with these onlookers, so he could only turn the anger in his heart to Red Sleeves.

What he must do now is to put the death of the eldest lady on Hua Zhen.

Otherwise, the Changping Marquis Mansion will be stiff, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to clean up at that time.

If you can completely blame Hua Zhen on her head, when the time comes, the Marquis of Changping Mansion will only ask Hua Zhen.

So when he saw Shen Yulin bring the red sleeves over, he was obviously still afraid of the clever anti-water thing in his heart, but he couldn't take too much care of it.

With red sleeves, he went directly to Jingzhao Mansion.

After all, Hua Zhen is the lord of Qinghe, if it is an ordinary woman, he will be easy to get in the mansion.

It's a pity that now all the forces of the Queen Mother know that the county lord of Qinghe lives in Shen Mansion, and Rao is uncle can't be helped.

I thought about putting her to death first while no one knew.

But I didn't expect to come with so much to see the excitement.

At the moment, he just wanted to solve this matter quickly, so he said coldly and to Red Sleeves: "What did you just say, don't say it quickly, let her know what crime she has committed." ”
