Chapter 188: Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes

Yu Huanwan came to find Yu Yuanhuan and invited her to tea.

Yu happened to be a little thirsty, but given the precedent of food poisoning last time, she was very cautious this time.

"You didn't make the tea, did you?"

Yu Huanwan's face suddenly turned black as the bottom of a pot.

She gritted her teeth and said: "The tea is made by the maid, and the pastry chef and the chef make it, and I don't touch any of them, so you can rest assured, right?" ”

Yu Yuanxuan nodded with satisfaction: "That's good." ”

Yu Huanwan's fists were hard.

Her sister is really underwhelmed!

The two sisters went to the gazebo to eat tea and enjoy the flowers.

Xiao Ti was led to the study by the housekeeper, and Yu Kangtai and Yu Sheng were already waiting here.

Yu Kangtai took out the antique calligraphy and paintings that had been prepared a long time ago, and invited the king of Langjun to appreciate them together.

In fact, Xiao Ti was not very interested in antique calligraphy and painting.

Most of the time, Yu Kangtai was talking, Yu Sheng nodded in agreement, and Xiao Ti listened quietly.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the housekeeper came to remind him that it was time for lunch.

Yu Kangtai put down the calligraphy and painting and led people to the dining room.

At this time, Yu Yuanyuan and Yu Huanhuan also arrived at the dining room.

The table is full of dishes, the most is stew, and there are only two stir-fried dishes, which are placed in the most central position, and the ingredients are very good, including many precious ingredients.

It can be seen that Yu Fu has spent a lot of thought and money in order to prepare this banquet.

Jiang, as the hostess, can no longer hide from people at this time.

She was helped into the dining room.

Yu Huanhuan and Yu Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their mother's emotions had returned to calm.

No matter what my mother thinks in her heart, at least this meal can be eaten well.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.

They had only eaten two bites of food when Meng Xizhou walked in and whispered a few words in the ear of King Langjun.

Yu Xuan was close, and he could vaguely hear a few words, as if he had caught someone, and asked His Royal Highness the King of the County what to do?

She thought it was the official business of the Fa-rectification Division, so she didn't think much about it and continued to bury her head in food.

But the next moment she heard the man next to her say.

"Father-in-law, Eagle Guard just caught a suspicious person, and after interrogation, he learned that it was your maid from the Yu Mansion."

Everyone at the table was stunned, and they all turned their heads to look at King Langjun.

Even Yu Yuanxuan reluctantly put down her chicken wings and pricked up her little ears, ready to listen to the follow-up plot.

Jiang had a bad premonition in his heart.

She pretended to be calm: "The maids in our Yu Mansion are very honest, and it is impossible to do anything illegal and undisciplined, is there any misunderstanding here?" ”

Xiao Ti looked at her and asked.

"This king hasn't said who that maid is, how do you know that there is a misunderstanding here?"

Jiang choked.

Yu Kangtai hurriedly asked, "What's the name of that maid?" If you say it, the lower officials will let people investigate. ”

Xiao Ti glanced at Mengxi Prefecture.

Mengxi Prefecture understood and answered truthfully.

"That maid's name is Chunxing, and she said that she is the person next to Mrs. Jiang of Yufu."

Jiang's face instantly faded with blood.

The rest of the people looked at her in unison.

Even people like Yu Kangtai who don't care much about the affairs of the back house know that Chunxing is a dowry maid brought by the Jiang family from her mother's family, and the Jiang family trusts her very much.

Yu Kangtai asked in disbelief, with the last glimmer of hope.

"What about the spring apricot people? You let her out. ”

As long as Jiang can call Chunxing out now, it can mean that Eagle Guard has caught that "Chunxing" fake.

However, Jiang shook his head: "Chunxing is not in the mansion. ”

Yu Huanwan couldn't wait to ask: "Where did she go?" ”

Being caught by the Eagle Guard is not a trivial matter, and one careless will implicate the entire Yu Mansion.

Jiang's heart was full of fear and uneasiness.

She forced herself to calm down, and the more critical moments like this, the more she couldn't panic.

She doesn't have to worry about Chunxing's backlash, after all, Chunxing's deed of sale is still in her hands.

As long as Chunxing doesn't tell the truth, Eagle Guard has no evidence, and she will not admit it.

No matter how she said it, she was still the mother-in-law in the name of King Langjun, and she was his elder, so he had to be a little scruples.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shi had a plan in his heart.

She spoke unhurriedly.

She said she wasn't feeling well and wanted to go out to see a doctor.

It stands to reason that she should have come back at this time, but I don't know that I haven't seen her all this time.

I'm wondering what's going on with her?

His Royal Highness said that the Eagle Guard had arrested her, did she commit something? ”

Xiao Ti has seen many suspects, and he can clearly see Jiang's thoughts.

This kind of person just doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin.

He raised his right hand: "Bring people in." ”

Meng Xizhou turned around and went out.

Seeing this, Jiang's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

She stared at the door, and the next moment she saw Meng Xizhou dragging two half-dead people in.

They are a man and a woman, and the woman is Chunxing.

She was lying on the ground covered in wounds, even though she had been cleaned, the blood continued to seep out along the wounds, and her appearance was extremely miserable.

The man next to him was not much better, every piece of good meat on his body was so painful that he twitched all over his body, and he didn't forget to beg for mercy when he got to this point.

"Please, let me go, I say, I'll say anything."

Faced with this picture, everyone at the table lost their appetite.

Jiang's hand hidden under the table grabbed the handkerchief tightly, and his heart was uneasy.

Originally, she was very confident, and Chun Xing didn't dare to betray her.

But now seeing Chunxing being beaten, the confidence in her heart suddenly disappeared.

At this time, for Chunxing, a deed of sale is nothing, and being able to live is the most important thing.

Yu Kangtai couldn't see this bloody picture, and his face couldn't bear it.

"Your Royal Highness, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Ti said lightly: "Seeing is believing, this king will let you listen to Chunxing's confession with your own ears now, and see what she wants to do when she sneaks out of the door today?" ”

Chunxing raised her head with difficulty.

She looked at Jiang Shi who was sitting at the table, her eyes full of pleading.

She was begging Jiang for help.

However, Jiang Shi gave her a warning and threatened her not to talk nonsense.

The last glimmer of hope in Chunxing's heart was extinguished.

What immediately poured out was a strong hatred.

She has followed the Jiang family for many years and is loyal to the Jiang family, no matter what kind of dirty work it is, she is willing to help the Jiang family, and in the end she even put herself in.

But Jiang didn't mean to save her at all.

She could even help her say a word!

But no.

It's really cool!

Meng Xizhou squatted down, held Chunxing's wrist with one hand, and forced her to separate her fingers, holding a knife in the other hand, and aimed the blade at her fingers.

"I'll ask again, if you don't tell the truth, I'll chop off one of your fingers, ask a second time, or don't say, chop another finger, until you say where you say, and see how many fingers you can hold onto?"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Chunxing spoke without hesitation.

"It was Madame who asked me to go out to Zhao San, she wanted Zhao San to spread rumors about the princess of the county in Beijing and ruin her reputation."

I think it's a good way to have one chapter at night and two more chapters during the day.

Tomorrow!
