Chapter 16

Shen Lexi glanced at Mother Wang, who had a fine light in her eyes, and sneered in her heart.

The old woman deliberately disgusted her with the stinky meat buns, and she saw the other party's man saving the face of the old lady, so she spared her this time.

But when another crime is to be charged, this old woman can't carry that Li Dazhuan out to prevent trouble.

Even if it's a Danshu iron coupon, it can't be recycled like this, right?

Let this old woman be proud for a while.

Hum.

Chunyan on the side didn't know this, and when she saw Shen Lexi say that she had spared Wang's mother, she couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief;

Seeing that Shen Lexi had a look of indignation on her face, knowing that she was for the sake of the old lady, so she had to suffer this loss, and she couldn't help but secretly praise her for her general knowledge, and when she went back, she had to say something good for her in front of the old lady.

That's for later, and for now.

Chunyan said to Wang's mother angrily: "You are an old thing, the princess doesn't care about you, that is the princess of the world is generous and kind, but your death crime can be forgiven, and the living crime cannot be escaped, otherwise there will be no rules in this house in the future, you will offend the master and punish you with a year's wages." Are you convinced? ”

When she heard that she was only fined one year's wages and did not have to be punished, the old mother was overjoyed.

It turned out to be much lighter than she expected.

At least not to be hit by a board.

As for a penalty of one year's wages...... She is a kitchen manager, and her annual salary is only a dozen taels of silver, although a dozen taels of silver is not a small amount, but compared with the half of the old ginseng...... There is really no need to worry about the small gains and losses of the dozen taels of silver.

Mother Wang hurriedly kowtowed and thanked her: "Serve, serve!" Old slave suit! ”

Chunyan sneered: "What are you kowtowing to me for, the person who spared you is the princess, and the person you should thank is the princess." ”

So Wang's mother kowtowed to Shen Lexi again to thank her.

I have to say that this old woman's surface work is very well done, her head is banging on the ground, and her snot and tears are sprinkled out as if she doesn't want money, and anyone who sees it will feel that she is sincerely repentant.

Pity......

Shen Lexi's gaze fell on the barrage above the other party's head-

[Wang Chunxiang: Little slut, don't be complacent too early! ] The old lady has only been fined for a year's wages, but you have to carry the black pot of stealing old ginseng for the old lady. Such a big black cauldron, I can't crush you to death! 】

The live version of the out-of-sync rendition.

Tut

Shen Lexi looked at it staggeringly.

It is said that the ancients were simple...... Simple, a hammer!

The old woman's heart in front of her was blackened.

One more look would pollute her eyes.

But if she doesn't look at it, she can't do it, she has to see where the old woman hid the ginseng.

The only way to remove the black cauldron on her back is to get the stolen old ginseng back.

Thinking of this, Shen Lexi didn't pay attention to Wang's mother anymore, nor did he tell Wang's mother to get up.

Since you can't dispose of this old woman immediately, let this old woman kneel for a while.

She turned her head to Chunyan and said, "Miss Chunyan, I have already explained the reason why I went to the big kitchen last night, now let's talk about the old ginseng." ”

Chunyan was thinking about how to bring the heading board back again—Mother Wang was guilty of offending her master, but she inadvertently pulled out a small vine.

The main vine is still the lost half of the old ginseng, and it must be recovered.

It's not that the government is too poor to afford a second ginseng, but it's hard to find good ginseng.

The hundred-year-old wild ginseng of Penglai Mountain is even more difficult to find.

At the beginning of the year, the old lady entered the palace to greet her, and the queen mother gave half of the treasure Penglai ginseng to the old lady, and the old lady has been reluctant to use it.

As a result, before the prince could use it, the old ginseng was stolen, how could the old lady not be angry?

Thinking of this, Chunyan hurriedly gathered her thoughts and said to Shen Lexi: "Concubine Shizi, about the lost old ginseng ......"

"I didn't steal." Shen Lexi interrupted Chunyan, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he said again, "I left the kitchen after eating noodles with red hearts last night, don't say anything about old ginseng, I didn't even take a vegetable leaf from the kitchen." ”

She pulled out hearts: "My maid hearts can testify for me." ”

Red hearts nodded their little heads vigorously and said, "Yes! My princess didn't take a single leaf from the kitchen! I didn't steal your old ginseng! ”

Chunyan: ............

A big barrage popped out of the other party's head-

[Chunyan: You also said that the heart is your maid, and of course your maid speaks for you. Such a person certificate is useless, are you stupid, princess. 】

However, Chunyan is a qualified maid who strictly abides by etiquette, and she did not behave like a three-year-old child because of Shen Lexi's master and servant, and reminded euphemistically: "Princess Shizi, the red heart is your maid, and her testimony cannot be counted." ”

Shen Lexi frowned: "Why can't you count?" I still have someone to testify for me that I didn't steal ginseng. It's you, you said that I stole the old ginseng that was lost in the kitchen, so let me ask you, do you have any witnesses? ”

"This ......" Chunyan hesitated, lowered her eyes to look at Mother Wang, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Mother Wang can testify." ”

"Oh?" Shen Lexi raised his eyebrows and also looked at Mother Wang, "Did you see me stealing something?" ”

"Old slave...... The old slave ...... "Mother Wang stumbled, looking grateful to Shen Lexi for sparing her generously just now, which caused her to be difficult to tell the truth."

Shen Lexi shouted impatiently: "Who are you looking like this?" It's as if the princess of this world won't let you tell the truth. ”

Chunyan also said: "You old goods, answer the questions well." Let me ask you, did you really see the princess stealing ...... last night Ahem, took away the old ginseng? ”

was so flanked by the two of them left and right, Wang's mother said, "Yes...... Yes, the old slave saw it, and the princess stole it...... No, no, no, the princess not only took away the half of the old ginseng, but also took a plate of pastries and left......"

"Nonsense!" Shen Lexi shouted, pointed at Wang's mother and said angrily, "Since you saw it, why didn't you stop me at that time?" ”

"The old slave didn't expect this stubble at the time, but later the old slave returned to the kitchen and found that the old ginseng that was going to be used to make soup for the prince was gone, and the old slave remembered." Mother Wang hurriedly said.

Afraid that everyone would not believe it, she swore to the sky that everything she said was true, and there was no intention of framing her.

Shen Lexi's face turned red with anger, staring at the top of Wang's mother's head and saying angrily: "Hmph"

She turned her head to look at Chunyan suddenly, looked straight at the other party, and said word by word, "I didn't steal!" Old ginseng, pastries, I didn't take any of them! If you don't believe me, you can search my house. ”

Chunyan had this intention, and when she heard this, she said, "That servant is offended." After speaking, with a wave of his hand, a room of maids and maids immediately turned over the boxes and cabinets.
