Chapter 238: Inquiry
Xiao Hui hurriedly hung her head and bowed and replied: "Back to the prince's words, the bird's nest slave has not passed through other people's hands since it was taken from the dining room." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wanyue and Yinqi were stunned for a moment, and it seemed that this problem came from the people in the dining room.
The two of them then focused on the steward of the dining room and the three guys, and several of them were stared at by the two masters in a little stunned, not understanding what was wrong with yesterday's bird's nest.
The steward of the dining room has been frowning, he is careful and careful about the meals of these masters in the house, for fear of following in the footsteps of the previous dining room steward, but he didn't expect that something would happen, but I don't know which person with a heart has plotted the disaster in their dining room again.
After the air was cold for a while, Yin Qi asked with a calm face: "How many of you in the dining room have carefully recalled, who came into contact with the bird's nest last night, and whether there are any suspicious signs among them!" ”
A few people in the dining room were stunned, and after a few people thought deeply, the suspicious people were probably the maids who came to get the food from all sides, and they were all the henchmen in charge of the dining room, and it was impossible to do anything to murder the prince's heirs.
One of the men replied, "Back to the prince, there is nothing suspicious about the minions in the dining room, the only suspicious thing is probably that the girls who came to get the meal stayed in the dining room for a longer time than before yesterday. ”
"Oh!" Yinqi wanted to raise his hand and slam the table, but there was no table next to him, only Wanyue sat beside him.
But Wanyue didn't say anything, after all, her personal maid Ying'er was still standing below, so she had to pretend that nothing happened.
After Yinqi sighed, no one at the bottom replied, Yinqi sighed in his heart, this matter seemed to be pushed to the maids who took meals from all sides, which made Yinqi feel a little mixed in his heart, it seems that some people are really dissatisfied with the children in Yue'er and Rui'er's wombs.
Yin Qi then asked sharply: "Tell me who you all have who stayed in the dining room for a longer time than before when you took the meal yesterday!" ”
Several people in the dining room glanced at each other, and then everyone had different opinions, but there were no words in the words of several people, and there were no personal maids of Ying'er and Fang Fu Jin Suxin.
Ying'er breathed a sigh of relief, and after listening to the words of a few people in the dining room, Wanyue approached Yinqi and said in a low voice: "Lord, since there is no suspicion of Ying'er, why don't you let her go back to Xinuan Pavilion first." ”
As a result, Yinqi waved his hand at Wanyue: "Don't worry, let her stay here for a while now, it's not too late to go back after this matter is over." ”
Seeing Yinqi's appearance, Wanyue didn't understand anything in her heart, but she was still a little shocked in her heart, it seems that the prince still has some mustard in his heart about Tong Jiaruier.
Wanyue thought in her heart, so she didn't reply to Yinqi's words, Yinqi coughed, and then turned her head to look at the Yan housekeeper next to her: "You go and call the side Fujin Ma Jia clan and the other five Gege maids in Dongnuan Pavilion." ”
Steward Yan was really busy this morning, he ran back and forth several times in the east and west courtyards, and when he heard Yinqi's words, Steward Yan hurriedly responded: "Yes, the slave will do it!" ”
Soon Ma Jiashi personally brought her personal maid to come, and when she saw Wanyue, Ma Jiayunzhao was very shocked, and saw that the five qualified maids in the East Warm Pavilion were all standing in the small courtyard of the East Wing, as well as the personal maid Ying'er of Chang Fujin and several guys in the dining room.
Ma Jiayun Zhao bowed to Yinqi and Wanyue: "Concubine to the prince and concubine, please be safe!" ”
Yin Qi raised his hand slightly towards her, and then instructed Steward Yan to move a stool for her to sit down, and the other five Gege of Dongnuan Pavilion also followed and stood behind Wanyue.
Wanyue squinted at the people standing below for a while, the expressions on each face were different, but most of them were at a loss, but Zhang Jiazhuyue looked very calm, Wanyue looked her up and down, and was faintly worried in her heart, this Zhang Jiazhuyue and Tong Jiaruier have nothing to do with each other, she shouldn't need to harm Tong Jiaruier, right?
Although Wanyue was puzzled in her heart, she still turned her head to Yinqi and said with a normal expression: "Lord Wang, everyone has arrived, you should ask!" ”
Yinqi nodded, looked at the people kneeling in a row below, and was silent for a moment before starting to ask.
"What were you all doing yesterday when you picked up the meal?"
In addition to Ma Jia Yunzhao's personal maid who was a little confused, several other maids in Dongnuan Pavilion were also a little stunned in their hearts, and they didn't understand what was going on, after all, their respective masters were also some distance from Tong Gege's house, although they were all in the East Courtyard, but their masters were in Dongnuan Pavilion, but Tong Gege was in the East Wing, and everyone didn't hear the movements in Tong Gege's house very clearly.
But looking at it like this, it seems that Tong Gege has been calling in the house, and he keeps muttering the child's words in his mouth, as if he had a miscarriage, who hurt Tong Gege, everyone is also suspicious of each other in their hearts, I don't know who did it, and no one dares to speak first.
Yinqi saw that no one answered, and he was quite annoyed in his heart, these subordinates were so silent, did they want him to serve him responsibly!
Yinqi's face suddenly turned cold, and he yelled at a few people: "Don't you know what you did when you each took the meal?!" If no one answers, each person will be punished with twenty strokes! ”
When everyone heard this, they panicked, and Yuxia couldn't care about Wu Yayunhui's advice, so she took the lead in returning: "Back to the prince and Fujin, when the slave maid went to the dining room to get food yesterday, she talked with the cherry girl in Xinuan Pavilion and came back. ”
Wu Ya Yunhui frowned when she obeyed this, wondering when Yuxia, the cheap maid, would be attached to the cherry blossoms of Xinuan Pavilion, but she didn't ask, but looked at Yuxia with a sad face.
Ying'er nodded to Wanyue and Yinqi, and then responded: "Indeed, as Sister Yuxia said, we each received a meal in the dining room and left. ”
The rest of the maids insisted on their own words, but everyone seemed to have someone to testify, and when it was Zhang Jiazhuyue's turn, she hesitated for a moment before she whispered: "Lord Qiqi, when the slave maid was taking the meal, she just chatted with the guy in the dining room about what food was prepared for the master, and she didn't ask anything else. ”
Judging from Wanyue's experience, Zhang Jiazhuyue was obviously lying, and her eyes unconsciously looked to the right when she spoke just now, which was obviously a reaction when she was lying.
Yinqi was confused when he heard it, as if he had fallen into a dead end again, and the dining room put the responsibility on the maids who took the meal, and the maids didn't seem to have anything suspicious, Yinqi suddenly felt that one head and two were big.
No matter how this matter is to find out the truth, it is not really to give Tong Jiaruier an explanation, but to prevent vicious people from causing trouble in the backyard, Yinqi raised his hand to support his forehead for a while, hesitated for a moment, and decided to let people check the houses of the people in the courtyard to see if there was anything suspicious.
"Let people search the houses of these maids and maids, and don't miss any corners!" Yinqi instructed Steward Yan again.
The corners of Steward Yan's mouth twitched, and after replying, he went to the front yard to call the guards to check one by one.
