Chapter 64: Pretending to be stupid
"Hello uncle."
Qing Mad smiled at Liu Shangshu and made a very standard and polite salute, delicate and small cheeks, bright and clear eyes, and a smile at the corner of his mouth was as dazzling as the sun, clean and warm.
Unconsciously, Liu Shangshu's anger in his heart was inexplicably much less, and such a girl with the same innocence as Xue'er actually made him feel peaceful.
"Ahem!"
King Jing coughed heavily and planned to think nonsense about Liu Shangshu, but in his heart he was dissatisfied with Liu Shangshu's attitude towards Qing Madness, he should question her angrily, not at this time.
Glancing at the smiling girl, King Jing was even more convinced in his heart that this eldest lady of Ouyang Mansion definitely had the same vicious scheming as her father, innocent and innocent on the surface, but in fact dark and cunning in her heart.
If such a person really becomes a princess, then wouldn't the foundation he had worked so hard to lay in King Jing's Mansion be taken away by Ouyang Xing's old fox?
Thinking of this, I can't let her stay no matter what.
King Jing smiled politely, "Liu Shangshu, Xue'er's business ......"
As soon as he mentioned his beloved daughter, Liu Shangshu immediately frowned, stared at Ouyang Qingfang, and asked coldly, "Little girl, my daughter is gone, do you know where she went?" ”
"What? Sister Snow is gone? Didn't you have a good night last night? ”
Qing Mad was surprised, and his expression immediately became worried.
"I heard that you killed Xiaobai last night."
"I didn't do it, I didn't kill Xiaobai, Xiaobai was choked to death by the wrench in his stomach."
As soon as Liu Shangshu's words fell, Qing Mad explained himself very aggrieved, a pair of glass-like eyes were immediately stained with mist, pitiful like a little white rabbit who had suffered greatly, coupled with her petite body that fell down as soon as the wind blew, who would have thought that such a person would kill.
At least, Liu Shangshu was not very sure in his heart.
Princess Jing glanced at Liu Shangshu meaningfully, and smiled meaningfully, "Cousin, Miss Ouyang proved that she didn't kill Xiaobai, but the wrench she found in Xiaobai's belly was Xue'er's, could it be that Xue'er went back to kill Xiaobai who had been with her for more than ten years?" This is obviously impossible. ”
Sure enough, Liu Shangshu immediately said in a deep voice, "Miss Ouyang, if you know Xue'er's whereabouts, please tell the old man as soon as possible, the old husband and wife are gone, and only the only daughter is left as a companion, Xue'er may be a little arrogant and arrogant, but her heart is not bad." ”
Isn't the heart bad?
And who was going to skin her and gouge out her eyes last night?
The smile on Ouyang Qingmad's face deepened, and he became more and more sincere, "Uncle, I really don't know, you won't suspect that I hid Sister Xue'er, right?" How is this possible, I stayed in Qingxiangyuan last night and didn't go anywhere, the maid and the subordinates can testify, besides, Sister Xue'er already knows that I didn't kill Xiaobai, I don't need to entangle with Sister Xue'er about this matter. ”
Liu Shangshu frowned, and his tone was very stern, "Except for last night's incident, Xue'er disappeared, you said that this matter has nothing to do with you, you really can't justify it!" ”
Qing Mad bit his thumb and thought about it, and suddenly said, "Uncle, before the incident last night, I heard Sister Xue'er say that it was the maid of King Jing's Mansion who told her that Xiaobai was in Qingxiang Garden, let me ask, since I didn't do it, how did the maid know that Xiaobai was in Qingxiang Garden?" What's more, in the darkness of the night, how was a cat with agile movements discovered by the maid? Also, there are a few corridors between the Qingxiang Garden and Sister Xue's residence, and how could Xiaobai be there by coincidence? I thought about it all night last night, and I still couldn't figure out these questions. ”
"Nonsense! The little white hair is white, and the maid can naturally see it clearly at night, so you don't have to be strong and reasonable, and you can quibble in every way! ”
Without waiting for Liu Shangshu to react, King Jing became angry instead, glaring at the girl with a blue face.
Qing Mad blinked innocently, very puzzled, "Lord, what are you angry about, Qing Mad didn't say it has anything to do with you." ”
Well, it's called not taking it personally.
Sure enough, Princess Jing's face changed, and she secretly complained that the prince was really impulsive, and when she saw Liu Shangshu's suspicious gaze, she hurriedly added, "Of course the prince will be angry, the maid is from King Jing's mansion, you imply that the maid has a problem, don't you just push the responsibility on us?" Not only the prince, but even the concubine was surprised by the scheming of your little girl! ”
Qing Mad blinked, innocently touched his nose, "I'm not pushing the responsibility on your head, I just said that I was curious, if not, just call the maid to ask, of course, Qing Mad has been prepared, I recently learned to develop a drug that can make people hallucinate and always tell the truth, no matter how the maid hides it, as long as she takes this thing, she will be able to tell the truth." ”
After speaking, he took out an inconspicuous small bottle from his arms and shook it in front of everyone, and the faces of King Jing and his wife changed.
Everyone in the world knows that the emperor's Wancao spectrum contains more than 10,000 kinds of drugs, as well as some home remedies or something.
So, whether this is true or not, King Jing and his wife feel risky.
Qing Madness shook the small bottle and said with a smile, "How about it, do you want to try it?" ”
Liu Shangshu's face was gloomy, he looked at King Jing, and his voice was slightly cold, "Please also ask the prince to bring that maid." ”
King Jing's eyes flashed, he looked at the old butler beside him, and ordered, "Go and bring her." ”
"Yes."
Receiving the information sent by the princess, the housekeeper immediately understood in his heart, turned around and went out.
Watching the interaction between them, the smile on Qing Mad's face became brighter and brighter, she looked at Liu Shangshu and said softly, "Uncle, in fact, I am also very worried about Sister Xue'er's disappearance, it is not that I hid her, just say that Sister Xue's wrench, I can't get close to it, and the maids in the place where Sister Xue lives can testify that I have not been close there, but have been staying in the Qingxiang Garden." ”
Liu Shangshu snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice with warnings in his eyes: "It's best that it has nothing to do with you, if it has anything to do with it, the old man will not be at peace when he calls you the Ouyang family!" ”
Qing mad but smiled silently, she didn't get angry, she actually wanted to make the Ouyang family unpeaceful, what a coincidence, I thought of going together, but unfortunately it didn't work this time, even if the Ouyang family was not at peace, she must not mix with herself, right.
"Cousin has a cup of tea first."
Princess Jing hinted that the maid would send the tea over, and sat down opposite him with a smile, and King Jing also sat down, only Ouyang Qingfang stood alone in the center, as if he was a prisoner being questioned, but the smile on his face was extremely inconsistent with the atmosphere at the moment.
After about a stick of incense, the housekeeper came back, and bowed his hand to King Jing, with a difficult face, "Lord Wang...... The maid ......"
"What's wrong with the maid?"
King Jing asked, his eyes clearly shining successfully.
"As soon as the maid heard that we were going to arrest her and interrogate her, she committed suicide by throwing herself into the pond on the road."
"What!"
Liu Shangshu slammed the table and roared, "How are you looking at her!" ”
"The old slave is guilty......"
The butler knelt on the ground and bowed his head.
Princess Jing waved her hand, "Okay, you can go down." It was the maid who committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, not your fault. Speaking of this, after a pause, she looked at Ouyang Qingfang with deep meaning, "Girl, did you already know that she would commit suicide by throwing herself into the river before making this request?" ”
At this moment, the atmosphere changed.
Facing Liu Shangshu's increasingly sinking gaze, Qing shook his head madly and said in confusion, "Isn't it true that the real culprit is afraid of what the maid will confess, so he will kill people?" ”
Princess Jing's face changed suddenly, only to see Liu Shangshu slam the teacup on the table, his face was gloomy, and his whole body was full of strong anger, he glared at Princess Jing, and shouted coldly, "The maid of King Jing's Mansion suddenly committed suicide, princess, princess, what reason do you have to perfunctory old man!" ”
Princess Jing hurriedly spoke, "Cousin, it's not you ......"
"That's it!"
Liu Shangshu glared at King Jing, but no matter whether his official rank was smaller than the other party, and no matter what the consequences were, when he thought that his daughter had disappeared like this, he suddenly trembled with anger, "Lord Jing!" Xue'er was originally invited by you to Jingwang's Mansion, but now my Xue'er has disappeared inexplicably, and she can't even find a trace, how do you explain to the old man! The old man is just this one-man daughter, if there is not even a corpse except for things! How do you let the old man not hate or resent! It's a shame that you and I are still relatives, is that how you treat Xue'er! ”
"Cousin, it's not like you want to ......"
"Shut up!"
Drinking King Jing, Liu Shangshu's eyes were cruel, and his face was hideous, "The old man felt that something was wrong at the beginning, I didn't see how much you liked Xue'er in the past, but suddenly I wanted to invite her as a guest, I really don't understand what evil intentions you have!" If you really treat the old man as a relative, how can Xue'er do such a thing?! ”
King Jing and his wife looked at each other, and a little guilt hidden in the depths of their hearts came out of their hearts.
Liu Shangshu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he was more than ten years old for a moment, his voice was hoarse, "The old man is going to tell the emperor and give the old man justice!" After speaking, he took a big step and rushed away.
Out of the corner of his eye, a tear slipped down and fell to the ground and disappeared.
Presumably, Liu Shangshu really hurt Liu Yingxue.
Suddenly, Qing Mad was a little jealous of Liu Yingxue, who could be such a good father.
Raising her eyes and looking at the stunned King Jing and his wife, she retreated silently, she did not leave, but stood at the door and waited quietly for a while, and vaguely heard the sound of conversation in the house.
"Lord Wang, did we do something wrong?"
"The matter has come to this, there is no turning back, no matter what, Xuan'er can't marry Ouyang Qingmad!"
"yes, there's no turning back."
……
Qing sneered, turned around and left without hesitation.
The disappearance of the daughter of Shangshu Mansion spread, and it is said that she has something to do with the eldest lady of the Ouyang family, and this matter has spread to the Ouyang Mansion, and at this time, the main hall is also serious.
"Bang!"
Ouyang Xing suddenly stretched out his hand and flicked it on the table, and the teapot and teacup fell to the ground.
"Master, what can I do?"
Li Xianglian looked worried, and pinched the ten fingers of the handkerchief.
Ouyang Xing had a cold face, "Huangfu Renying that bastard, obviously didn't want Qing Mad to enter the door of their house, and deliberately made this right and wrong, so that the emperor could dispel Qing Mad and become the princess, it is really vicious!" ”
Li Xianglian sighed, "I don't know if Qing Mad can cope with it, it is said that Princess Najing is scheming and not aggressive, if something really happens, I am afraid that Qing Mad will be driven out of the palace and can no longer be the princess." ”
"Afraid of what? Since the emperor likes to be crazy, even King Jing and his wife can't help it! If it weren't for the emperor's insistence on matching Huangfu Yixuan with Qing Madness, they wouldn't have taken risks to find out these rights and wrongs when they came to King Jing, they had only one purpose, that is, to let Qing Madness retreat and leave the world. ”
"How's that going to work? Qing Madness must be the princess of the world! ”
Liu Xianglian's heart was agitated, and she quickly stood up and walked outside, "No, I must go to see Qing Mad and teach her how to deal with King Jing and his wife." ”
"Wait! What does it look like to go as you? It's just going to be their laughing stock. ”
Ouyang Xing called out to Li Xianglian, frowned and pondered, seemingly thinking of a better strategy.
At this time, Ruoxi walked in from outside and said to Ouyang Xing: "Master, let the slave go, the slave can help the eldest lady come up with ideas under the pretext of serving the eldest lady, and by the way, she can also bring back news to the master." ”
