Chapter 9 Self-reeling Consequences
"Why are you scolding him? It must have been you, a slut, who killed him!" The man dressed as a small servant behind Steward Li scolded and said, "His alcohol consumption has always been very good, that little wine can't be drunk, and it is impossible to fall to death, someone must have murdered him, and before he died, I heard him say with my own ears that he was going to find you, and asked the eldest prince to promise you to him, it must be you, this little slut, wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and if you look down on him, you will kill him!"
"His mouth is not clean, I naturally want to scold him!" Qing'er said fearlessly, "I naturally don't look down on this kind of obscene villain, but you say that I will kill people because of this? Is it worth it for this kind of scum? I am the second lady's person, and the marriage is not for the eldest prince to decide, and according to what you said, everyone who is looked down on by Shun'er has a motive to kill, you should think about it, how many people in this Hou Mansion want to kill him!"
"Strong words, you are the last person Shun'er saw, not who you killed!" The little guy pointed to Qing'er's nose and scolded, "If you don't have to be punished, this slut won't confess, Steward Li, this matter should be reported to the official, let the government investigate her well, take a criminal punishment, and keep her obediently confessing!"
"That's it! This little hoof is the most sharp and sharp, how can this murder charge be justified by himself? Or do you have to use torture!"
"Qing'er!" a cheerful and ignorant voice came, "Why are you here? Go, go back!"
Just looking at Su Tang'an trotting over and pulling Qing'er away, the mother-in-law surnamed Kong grabbed Qing'er's arm and said with a sneer: "Fifth Miss, Qing'er has a life lawsuit, and I can't leave it at this time!"
"Why, is anyone dead?" asked Su Tang'an suspiciously, stepping on the foot of the mother-in-law surnamed Kong, and crushing it before turning around, "What's the matter?"
"Shun'er is dead, they suspect that the slave maid did it!" Qing'er said.
"When did you die?" asked Su Tang'an, grabbing her hair.
"The doctor deduced that it was three days ago!" said Steward Liu.
"Weren't we together at that time?" Su Juan took Qing'er's hand and said, "It won't be Qing'er, we were together at that time!"
"Fifth Miss is not mistaken!" The mother-in-law surnamed Kong hurriedly said, "It's been so long, Fifth Miss, are you mistaken?"
Su Cheng'an nodded his head and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten how your head hurt?
"This ......" The mother-in-law's face changed slightly, and she thought about it for a while, Qing'er did come back with Miss Wu that day, and it was around the end of the day.
"Steward Li, don't you believe me?" said Su Ju'an innocently with two eyes.
"No! no!" Steward Li hurriedly said, "The old slave doesn't dare to suspect Miss Five, since Miss Five testified, I think this matter has nothing to do with Qing'er!"
Su Tang'an's eyes rolled and asked again: "But why do people think that this matter is related to Qing'er? Father told An An that without evidence, you can't wronged a good person!"
"This matter is reckless on the part of the old slave, but it is better to ask clearly, so that the Qing'er girl has been wronged, is it the old slave!" Steward Li said gently.
"Why did he wronged you?" Su Tang'an pointed to the little guy who identified Qing'er and tried a look at Qing'er.
Qing'er understood, as if suddenly realized, and said: "I have heard Shun'er say that he gambled with him and lost a lot of money, so it seems to me that you seem to be more suspected of murder! You know that he has been drinking, and you know his whereabouts, and you may ambush him on the road!"
"You talk nonsense!"
Another servant recalled: "Manager Li, the first person to find out that Shun'er is dead seems to be Laiwang!"
"I found out he's dead, so I'm going to find someone as soon as I can!" Lai Wang's face turned red, and he hurriedly defended loudly.
At this moment, I saw that the second lady came back in a hurry, and before the chief manager Li and the others could salute, they asked their subordinates to throw down a burden and drop some money from the baggage, and the second lady said in a cold voice: "These money and property were searched from Laiwang's room, and after being corrected by the people in the same room, these silver coins were lost to Shun'er! The truth of this matter was revealed, and Laiwang saw that he was interested in seeing the wealth, and the thief shouted to catch the thief, which is really hateful!"
Lai Wang's face changed greatly, and he knelt on the ground and explained: "This money belongs to Shun'er, but I stole it from him when I found out that he was dead, and I didn't kill the person!"
"Leave these words to the government to explain!" The second lady said lightly, "Steward Li, take people down, don't call such a small person and pollute my eyes!"
"Today, thanks to the second lady's discernment, the truth of this matter can be revealed, and the old slave immediately did this wolf-hearted dog-lung person, and the old slave said goodbye!"
"Spare my life! it's not mine, I'm wronged!" Lai Wang was dragged out crying, and Leng Yue Pavilion quieted down.
Su Cheng'an glanced at the mother-in-law surnamed Kong coldly, went to the side of the tree to pick up a stone, gave it to her, smiled silly, and said: "Last time, you bullied Qing'er, I beat you, this time, you still bullied her, I will beat you again!"
The mother-in-law surnamed Kong was startled, hurriedly knelt down at the feet of the second lady, and begged: "The second lady saves the old slave, these five young ladies are not light or heavy, they really want to kill the old slave!"
The second lady kicked her away, and said in a cold voice: "Okay, you eat the things you are afraid of, others come to the door, your own people don't know how to protect them, but they gang up with outsiders to bully, if my people in Leng Yue Pavilion get involved in such things, what good will it do you? Old things, I only know how to use my brains! An An is a child, and he knows more than you old things, Fifth Miss beats you to remind you, if I see your elbow turned out, I won't spare you! Be smart and do it yourself, don't dirty Fifth Miss's hands!"
Although the mother-in-law surnamed Kong is related to the second lady, but at this time, looking at the second lady's eyes with bursts of cold air, her heart is cold, I am afraid that she will not protect herself this time, and a hatred also rises in her heart, this woman wants to embarrass herself for a little hoof, and she really doesn't regard her as her own!
She trembled and took the stone from Su Cheng'an's hand, gritted her teeth, and slammed it towards her head, and suddenly a big bag bulged, and she also fainted on the ground.
The second lady no longer cared about this mother-in-law, and said to Su Cheng'an's master and servant: "Don't care about today's farce! Qing'er, the fifth lady protects you so much, you have to be loyal to her in the future!"
"Qing'er doesn't dare to forget, she must do her best to serve Miss!"
"Let's go back!" the second lady smiled slightly, "I also have to go and see how my brother is, if I don't look at it for a while, I feel unsteady in my heart!"
"Well, go back!" Su Tang'an smiled stupidly and pulled Qing'er back.
"Thanks to Miss and Second Lady today, this matter is in the past!" Qing'er said with a sigh of relief, "I just hope that the eldest prince will not trouble me in the future!
Su Tang'an's eyes rolled slightly, and said, "We might as well go and see my big brother!"
Su Cheng'an and Qing'er came to the courtyard of Su Zixuan, and a few small people outside looked at the fifth lady here, quite surprised, this young lady has never been looked at by others, and looked at her with Qing'er, this Shun'er's death has more or less something to do with this woman, so her attitude is even more cold.
"Fifth Miss, the eldest prince is not feeling well now, I'm afraid I don't have time to play with you, go back!"
"Our young lady is here to visit the eldest prince, not to play with the eldest prince!" Qing'er said.
"What does she know about visiting? Isn't it upset to Zhao Gongzi when she goes?"
"What kind of attitude do you have? you just have to go in and report it, if the eldest prince really doesn't want to see it, it's just that, why are you here to instruct our young lady to do things?" Qing'er said sharply.
"You stinky girl, who are you talking to!" The little guy's attitude also turned sideways, "I haven't investigated Shun'er's death with you yet, believe it or not, I'll clean you up now!"
Su Tang'an protected Qing'er behind him and glanced at the little guy coldly: "What do you want to do?"
She ...... She...... It's just a joke!" The little guy froze for a moment, he didn't expect to be frightened by the eyes of a stupid young lady, but there was a clear chill on his back, and at this moment, the eyes of the five young ladies returned to a stupid demeanor, could it be that Fang Cai was just an illusion?
Su Tang'an took advantage of this person's distraction, slipped in, and shouted, "Big brother, I'm coming to see you!"
Outside the door, two maids stopped Su Cheng'an, only to hear Su Zixuan shouting in the house: "Let her in!"
The two maids opened the door and let Su Tang'an inside, while Qing'er waited outside the door.
"Why are you here?" Su Zixuan lay on the bed, his face was pale, but there was a faint coldness in his eyes, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid was waiting by the bedside.
"You go out!" Su Zixuan said lightly.
"Yes!" the beautiful maid walked out with her head bowed.
"Seeing that I didn't, my father just beat me, and she sent a beautiful maid to appease me!" Su Zixuan sneered and said, "But you are stupid, you can't understand these words, stupid people have stupid blessings, maybe you don't know anything, and you are more comfortable than me!"
"Does it hurt?" Su Juan walked over and squatted beside the bed, looking at this brother who was only less than half a year older than him with stupid eyes.
"You try?" Su Zixuan raised his eyebrows and said, as if he remembered something, he pointed to the table next to him and said, "There is a piece of hibiscus cake that I packed back for you from Quande Ji on it, I remember that you like to eat it, don't forget to bring it when you leave!"
Su Tang's peace of mind was flooded with a warm current, in her current memory, only Su Hongguang regarded her as a baby bump in the Hou Mansion, but because others were a fool, she was either bullied or ignored, she didn't have much contact with this Su Zixuan, but maybe because the two of them didn't have a mother, and there was still some taste of the same disease, so Su Tang'an felt that this person's nature was not bad.
