Chapter 6: You Ate It
"You! Who do you say is the dog?! Big lady, such a little hoof is not good to be punished, I am afraid that this house will turn up to the sky. The woman bewitched the crowd, so she wanted the eldest lady to punish her.
Mu Ziyan put his hands in his hands, turned his head and snorted, "As long as you don't have evidence, you can't do anything to me, can I still say that you stole food, how about it, admit it or not?" β
The mother-in-law couldn't say a word by her, the eldest lady's eyes were gloomy and staring at Mu Ziyan, this little girl couldn't say a word even if she was beaten to death before, why was she so sharp today.
"Daring, how did you talk to me? Today, I'm just beating you, and you can't say a word. Shangshu Lady Li Cailan looked at her aggressively.
How could Mu Ziyan, who had accepted the new ideas of the 21st century, endure such feudal thoughts, and glared at her, "You are the eldest lady?" We've been bullied by you all the time? Am I going to endure it all the time? It's too naΓ―ve, big lady, I see that you are also in your thirties, go back to the house and rest, no one feels sorry for you if something is wrong. β
A little doll said provocative words with disdain on her face, ordinary people can't accept it, let alone the hostess of this house?! The eldest lady's brows suddenly furrowed, and she glared at her sternly, "It's the opposite, it's the opposite!" β
"Take down this little slut for me! It's just daring! The eldest lady pointed at her and tried to beat her up.
Mu Ziyan was not afraid of them, but she really didn't want to fight again, she was tired, and when the guards rushed up, she made a stop in time!
"Stop! Mrs., this tonic is indeed not for us to steal, no matter how bold we are, how dare we steal your things, and there are other people who steal your things. β
"Oh?" Li Cailan raised her eyebrows, but she wanted to hear what this little girl had to say. "Who else is it not you?"
Mu Ziyan walked down the steps and looked up at a group of people who were much taller than her, "That's right, Xiao Shi and I did go to the kitchen to get some things, but they didn't include your supplements. β
"Misceiving the crowd! You live closest to the kitchen, isn't it you stealing food, or I can't steal food?!" The woman immediately pointed at her and shouted.
"I didn't say anything about you, what can you do if you admit it yourself." Mu Ziyan shrugged her shoulders, pointed at the woman and said, "That's right, eldest lady, she stole the food!" β
"What nonsense are you talking about! Big lady, you must believe the old slave, the old slave will never do such a thing! The woman suddenly shouted, and looked like she was about to cry.
Of course, the eldest lady will not listen to her, the daughter of a slut, and the other is a subordinate who has served her for so many years, so she doesn't have to say who she believes.
"Of course I have proof, you come with me." Mu Ziyan walked in front with her hands behind her back and asked those people to follow her. The eldest lady glared at her back with dark eyes, but wanted to see what tricks she wanted to play. The woman was desperately trying to defend herself, "Big lady, that's not the case, you listen to the old slave." β
The eldest lady stopped her with a wave of her hand, "That's enough, we'll talk about it later." The eldest lady said so, and the woman could only shut up and glared at her back fiercely, not believing that this little girl could say anything.
Xiao Mu was so worried that he asked her in a small voice: "Fifth Miss, obviously we ate it secretly." β
Mu Ziyan patted him and told him to shut up, "We can't say what we stole to eat, besides, it's not us who stole food first, or that old witch stole food and wanted to blame us." β
Xiao Mu was dumbfounded, "What's the matter?" β
"What else could it be, she stole it." Mu Ziyan said.
Thanks to her careful observation by the Scarlet Hunter, she had already discovered that someone had moved when she was stealing food, since it was all stealing, she shouldn't have said it, since she went out to sue her, then don't rely on her to pull her to the end.
The group went to the kitchen, Mu Ziyan saw that the bowl of supplements on the stove had not been moved, and the bowl on the table was still there, and he smiled proudly, the evidence of the crime had not been eliminated.
She turned around and looked up at the eldest lady and the mother-in-law, "This bowl of heavenly cardamom is enough to prove it." Mu Ziyan picked up the bowl of beans and put it in front of them.
The woman was stunned, I don't know what this bowl of Tianxiang cardamom has to do with who steals the supplement?
"Are you caught a cold?" Mu Ziyan walked up to her with her hands behind her back and asked.
The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect her to know, nodded, and said stiffly: "Yes, what's wrong with me being infected with wind and cold?" β
"That's very easy to say, Tianxiang cardamom soaked in water can treat wind and cold, so you come to the kitchen to cook cardamom water, but when you see the big lady's supplements, you are greedy, so you want to eat a little, and then run to the thatched house with stomach pain." Mu Ziyan said with a matter, speaking with a clear eye, as if she had seen it with her own eyes at the scene.
The eldest lady looked at the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law hurriedly waved her hand to deny, "Madam! You have to believe me, even if the old slave is hungry, he will never dare to steal his wife's supplements if he gives the old slave 10,000 guts! Besides, how do you know I'm running away from a hut with a stomachache?! This little is lying! β
"Just tell me if the cardamom is yours this day?" Mu Ziyan didn't give her so many opportunities to defend herself, so she pointed to the bowl of Tianxiang cardamom and forced her to ask.
The woman hesitated for a long time, and gave up on herself: "That's right! Even if it's mine, how's that? I've come to this kitchen to cook cardamom soaked in water to drink, and I have never touched my wife's supplements! Mrs., you must believe in the old slave, the old slave has worked hard for so many years, there is no merit and hard work, you still don't know what kind of person the old slave is! β
The woman cried with a handful of snot and tears, as if someone else had wronged her and suffered a great grievance, and was anxious to prove her innocence.
Of course, the eldest lady believed in her, not in her person, but in believing that she was not so bold to dare to touch her things, and if she really dared to touch her things, this person would never be able to stay.
What is the use of such a minion who dares to dye his hands on the master's things, even if he has served by his side for decades, he will be punished as such.
"In addition to saying a few words, what evidence do you have to prove that she stole it and it wasn't you?" The eldest lady looked down at Mu Ziyan.
"Of course, this is not the most important thing, dare to ask Mrs. if there is a line of incense in this tonic?" Mu Ziyan said in his chest.
The eldest lady didn't expect that she even knew this, so she couldn't help but look cold, and her eyes were unfriendly, and she asked viciously, "How do you know that there is a line of incense in it?" β
Mu Ziyan knew what she was thinking as soon as she looked at her eyes, and in her spare time when she had no tasks, she was fortunate to read a few palace fighting novels, and knew what these big families were thinking, and they were most afraid that others would poison them or something, and she suddenly said the medicinal materials contained in her tonic, which would inevitably make her think more.
