Chapter 72: Hitting the Snake and Hitting the Seven Inches

As they spoke, there was a noise of footsteps outside the house.

Nanxing opened the crack in the window and saw that all the subordinates in the Star Picking Pavilion had come, and Mama Li was the last to come up.

Jinli asked them to line up and stood in front and shouted, "Miss is sick from eating bad things." Madame is very angry and wants to investigate all the people in our cabinet. What have you been doing these days? Where have you been? Report truthfully to your wife. ”

"Huh? Miss was fine yesterday, how could it be? ”

"No, when I came back last night, my face was not good, and the slave saw it."

"Madame is here, Xu is very serious,,"

Everyone on the platform whispered, but Mama Li stood there with her head down and didn't speak.

Nanxing's gaze stayed on her for a few seconds, and then gently closed the window.

"Mother, I won't go out! I'll ask her when I bring her in! ”

"Okay, I'll go and find out for myself. She can't escape," Mrs. Rong covered Nanxing with a quilt, got up and went out.

Seeing that Mrs. Rong had gone out, Nanxing was lying on the bed wondering who was behind Mama Li?

Putting her to death with such great effort, it can be seen that she is not afraid of the forces of Rongfu or that she has no fear of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess! Could it be the emperor? For the sake of the door of Baohui Pavilion? But if the emperor wants to let the house die, he will not use such despicable means, wouldn't it be good to find an excuse for his father directly in the court, why bother sending an old lady to do it!

She shook her head, thinking that it wouldn't be the emperor, but she couldn't guess who it was?

I thought that Rong Mansion was the real culprit behind the assassins in the woods, and as long as I investigated in Rong Mansion, there would be results. But now it has been found out that the murderer is Feng Kuanjian, who is the Red Turtle Army of Ta State. Daddy and Mother didn't mention the Red Cockroach Army, only explained the reason why she went to Danxia Mountain. So does Mama Li have anything to do with the Red Mantis Army? Could it be that the people behind the scenes found out that they were not dead, so they rearranged from them? It just so happened that Mama Li's gambler's son,

Thinking of this, her eyes tightened, and now the only Red Mantis Army is the mother-in-law of the world, and she is still in her own medical hall.

Just as she was about to get up and get out of bed, she remembered that time she had shown her Feng Kuanjian's hilt, she was very excited and thought that she was Feng Kuanjian's daughter, and she had also solved the poison in her body. When she learned that she was the daughter of Rong Fu, she didn't have any murderous aura, but she was very excited to ask about Mama Liu, she should have a good relationship with Mama Liu, it seems that she will not be the person behind Mama Li!

Nanxing instantly felt that the things in Zhaocheng were far from being as simple as she thought, and maybe there would be a shocking big secret!

She relaxed slightly, slowly lay down, closed her eyes and listened to the sound of talking outside, and covered her hands on her lower abdomen to relieve the discomfort.

Outside the boudoir, Jinli saw Mrs. Rong coming out, and pretended to be in a hurry and ran over to salute.

"Madam, how is Miss? The slave did not serve the good lady and was willing to be punished."

"The punishment is certain, none of you can escape."

Mrs. Rong's eyes swept away, and Yu Guang looked at Mama Li and asked in a tough tone, "When I asked you to come back to serve Miss, it was also for the sake of you who used to be with her and knew her preferences." Now that she's sick in bed, that's how you're doing your best? ”

"Madame is angry, slave and maid know her mistakes," Jinli lowered her head and knelt on the ground.

Rong Furen's face was ugly and he retracted his gaze, "I'll talk about your business later." Now let them come over one by one and make it clear! ”

"Yes!" Jin Li wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, got up and helped her sit on the stone bench, and poured another cup of hot tea.

Seeing Mrs. Rong take a sip of tea, she beckoned the first servant to come over.

It took almost a stick of incense to finish, and the person in front finished asking. Mrs. Yung sent them back to work.

Only Mama Li herself was left on the platform, she looked left and right, and then looked back at who seemed to be waiting for?

"Mama Li, who are you waiting for?" Jinli smiled contemptuously and shouted, "It's just to tell me where you've been in the past few days?" What was done? ”

"I, I, the old slave," she looked up suddenly, looking at Mrs. Rong and Jinli, her eyes dodging and her words stumbling, and her legs walked forward slowly.

"You'd better hurry! Didn't you do something unseemly? Scared? ”

Jinli's scream made her tremble, and she smiled brightly, "Don't talk nonsense, how could the old slave do something sorry for Miss!" The old slave watched the young lady grow up, how could he harm her? ”

"Mama Li is indeed the old man next to Xing'er. Then you can talk about it," Madame Yung glanced at her and picked up her teacup.

"Old slave, I've been serving the young lady in the pavilion these days. Jinli asked the old slave to water the flowers, sweep the floor or something. I've never been to this platform, let alone entered the lady's boudoir."

"Have you ever touched something that Miss uses? For example, the tableware in the kitchen, the ingredients or something? ”

Mama Li panicked when she heard about the kitchen. She lowered her head and whispered, "No."

"None? No, a few days ago, when I was making venison sauce for Miss, you were still in the kitchen and told me that Sister-in-law Wu in the big kitchen told you that the old lady sent a message, saying that all good things were sent to the Star Picking Pavilion. Jinli stared at her and said word by word.

"Ah, yes, Sister-in-law Wu said, just that once, the old slave entered the kitchen,"

"Only this once? The leek omelet I made for Miss that time, you were also in the kitchen! Isn't Mama Li old and has a bad brain? ”

Jinli stepped forward and stared at her closely, "Miss feels sorry for everyone, and gave us the egg cake, we all used it at that time." Only you...... Mama Li, you'd better think it through. ”

"Old slave, I was not hungry that day, and I didn't eat until the evening! Old slave, also grateful, miss," Mama Li always lowered her head, and the words she said were not sentences.

Mrs. Rong looked at her as if she didn't admit it, and threw the teacup in her hand to the ground with a "snap".

"You are a slave, you are so bold, and you dare to sophistry in every way not to tell the truth! My Rongfu has never treated you badly, and now we can't even listen to a word of truth! Someone,"

A few mothers-in-law brought from Xihe Hall responded and said, "Drag her out and play thirty boards!" If you don't tell the truth, you will be hit fifty."

This time, Mama Li was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged.

"Madame's anger! Madame saw it. The old slave, it is true that he has never touched the young lady, and the things used, the old slave is innocent."

"Innocence? I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin! ”

Mrs. Rong waved her hand with a gloomy face, signaling the mother-in-law to stop, "Jinli, take it,"

"Yes!" Jin Li took out a gold ingot from his bosom and put it on the stone table.

"This was found in your room this morning. Don't tell me you saved it yourself! Say, "Where did you get it?" ”

"Old slave, old slave," Mama Li glanced at the gold ingot, and trembled, "This is, yes,"

"What is it? Say it quickly,"

"Old slave, yes,"

When Nanxing heard this, he frowned slightly, and if he asked again, he was afraid that Mama Li would jump off the wall in a hurry.

She shouted weakly, "Mother, bring her in, I'll ask herself."

"Well, you should know how this ungrateful villain has hurt you."

Mrs. Rong felt sad in her heart, but her face was still cold, "Jinli, Mu Bi brought her in!" ”

"Yes," Mu Bi pulled out a soft whip, and Jinli pulled Mama Li's sleeve and entered the boudoir.

Nanxing saw them come in and got up slightly, and Mu Bi hurriedly came over to help her up and lean on the pillow.

"Mama Li. Why are you doing this to me? She spoke softly.

"Miss, old slave, old slave," Mama Li looked up at Nanxing's appearance, and tears flowed out.

"When this girl first returned home, you said that you would serve me well in the future, and brought me my favorite red date soup. Why did it change in just half a month? ”

Nanxing's eyes were very aggrieved and sad, "Did I treat you badly?" Or is there something mamma is suffering? If you really have a problem, you might as well say it. This girl may be able to forgive you, "

"Really?" Mama Li asked with some emotion.

"Really! You know my character best."

Nanxing glanced at her and turned his head to cough.

"The old slave was forced, and the life of the old slave's son is in their hands," Mama Li cried and said.

"In whose hands? Who are they? ”

"They are?"

At this point, she stopped, looked horrified, and shook her head vigorously. "The old slaves dare not say that they will kill my son."

At this moment, Mu Cui came back in the dust.

Seeing that Nanxing was asking Mama Li something, she didn't bother, and only lifted a gourd pendant in her hand.

Nanxing nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew.

"Mama Li, if you don't say it, they won't spare your son! If this girl remembers correctly, your son is a good gambler, but he owes a lot of gambling debts, right? If he doesn't pay it back, so will his life."

"The old slave knows. So the old slave listened to them, and in the venison for you, "At this point, she looked at the brocade.

Jinli immediately understood, and scolded fiercely, "Good old thing with a wolf's heart and dog's lungs." I kindly made up for the young lady, and you dared to make a move on the venison. That's what my mother left for Miss.、See if I don't kill you.,"

Her angry apricot eyes widened, and she was about to do it as soon as she pulled out a colorful feather duster.

"Jinli is slow, ask questions first and then do it!"

Mrs. Rong stopped her loudly, "That is, since that day, you have successively drugged her diet?" ”

Mama Li nodded silently.

Nanxing looked at her and asked softly, "Where did this medicine come from?" Is there anyone else in the house who will pick you up? ”

"There is no one else, just the old slave himself, this medicine, the old slave is," Mama Li quickly answered, lest Nanxing ask what happened again.

"This medicine is not available on the market! You don't leave the house, and you think your son gave it to you? Mother, you send someone to bring her son over and ask, "Nanxing leaned down weakly.

"Don't go, it has nothing to do with him, it's all the old slave himself, the old slave himself," Mama Li hurriedly turned to look at Nanxing, her face full of pleading, "Please, Miss, you can do whatever you want with me, don't go to my son,"

Nanxing shook his head and motioned for Mu Cui to bring the gourd pendant over, "Are you familiar with this?" ”

"This is my son's, he," Mama Li shouted with a very uneasy expression when she saw the gourd pendant's panicked eyes, "Why is it in your hands?" ”

Mu Cui shook the sword spike in his hand and took over, "He lost money gambling with me and was seized by me, you'd better make it clear!" If there is half a sentence to hide, his life will be fine."

"As long as you don't kill him, the old slaves will say, all of them will say," Mama Li looked at the gourd pendant and shouted eagerly.

"Well, let's be honest."

Mrs. Rong sat on the edge of the bed and held Nanxing's hand tightly, "Who are they?" How did they contact you? ”

"The old slave doesn't know who they are. I got the news from Sister-in-law Wu, and she also gave me this medicinal powder! She also said that if my son wants to live, I must listen to her," Mama Li replied with a twinkle in her eyes.

"How does Sister-in-law Wu contact you?"

"After every night, the old slave went to the kitchen alone to ask for the ingredients for tomorrow. That's us, then."

"I said that Sister-in-law Wu usually doesn't like to take care of people, why does she like you? It turned out to be a plot to kill someone! Jinli threw the duster in his hand and pointed at her and scolded.

"Mu Bi is going to bring Sister-in-law Wu over to confront her face to face!" Nanxing turned his head and commanded.

"Yes, Miss!"
