Chapter 72: Can't Hide
Song Shuwan's scrutinizing gaze crossed the maid's face, and after a short pause, she said a word to Pei Huan and left with the maid.
The little maid was in a hurry, and she almost threw Song Shuwan behind several times, seeing that the people behind her were still slow, she couldn't help but speak: "Shi, princess, there is a big problem in the kitchen, please hurry up." ”
Song Shuwan smiled and said casually: "The problem has come out, as long as it doesn't affect the banquet, what's the difference between being happy or not?" ”
The maid was stunned for a moment: "But ......"
"Huh?"
Song Shuwan's tone rose slightly, and the maid immediately lost her voice.
After a while, Song Shuwan followed the maid into the kitchen, and saw two servants and a cook running up.
"Princess, all the drinks prepared today have been stolen."
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows: "Stolen?" What was on the banquet table? ”
"Those are wines, but they are not the drinks prepared for today."
The cook quickly told the situation, and Song Shuwan knew that Mrs. Hou specially bought a batch of peach blossom brew from Mingzhou City, and the peach blossom brew was difficult to buy, but it was very famous, in order to show off at today's banquet, but half an hour ago, all the peach blossom brew was stolen.
"The little one can only send ordinary drinks, but ......" The cook wrinkled, obviously with a great headache.
Song Shuwan walked around the kitchen, turned around and asked, "Where was the peach blossom brewed at that time?" ”
"In the chest over there, here's the key."
Song Shuwan took the key and glanced at the box pointed by the cook, the lock on it had been smashed.
In the crowded kitchen, the box with peach blossom brew was locked, and no one found the problem?
Song Shuwan squinted slightly, swept over a group of people in the kitchen, and threw the key back into the cook's arms: "If it's gone, it's gone, you can drink it like ordinary wine, it's okay, it's your ......"
She paused for a moment, and said in a light tone: "Let's think about how to explain to Mrs. Hou, oh, I suggest you wait, it's best to tell Mrs. about this now, otherwise the situation will get out of control, and you can't afford the consequences." ”
Throwing down the words, Song Shuwan was about to leave, and several people were stunned when they saw this.
The maid who led the way couldn't help but ask: "Princess Shizi, don't you care about this matter?" ”
Song Shuwan felt amused and asked, "Who prepared this banquet today?" ”
There was silence in the kitchen, and she answered her own question: "It's the banquet prepared by Mrs. Hou, and now that something has happened, you should look for her first, not me, understand?" ”
At this moment, the cook spoke: "However, you sent someone to take the peach blossom brew." ”
Song Shuwan's face was slightly stunned, and she suddenly reacted: "You want to slander me? ”
The cook lowered his head: "This is not slander, the peach blossom brew prepared by Mrs. is what you took, princess, Madame's post has already written that the peach blossom brew will be used as a drink to entertain guests, please send it back quickly, it will be bad for you and the small ones if it makes a big fuss." ”
Song Shuwan smiled, she felt that the situation in the Hou Mansion was not right since this morning, first the manager, then the maid, one or two always liked to come to her, there must be something wrong.
Now the cook's words have made her heart let go, trying to see the dagger, and then the thief shouts to catch the thief, right?
The so-called peach blossom brew is just a raft, but unfortunately, this method can't be used on her.
Song Shuwan looked out of the kitchen: "Baicao." ”
Baicao quickly appeared: "Princess Shizi, Cui'er under Madame's hand is here." ”
Song Shuwan glanced at the few people next to her, and raised her chin slightly: "Look at them, and release them after the banquet." ”
Baicao's eyes darkened slightly: "Please rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely take a good look at them!" ”
Not long after, a maid hurriedly entered the kitchen, it was the maid Cui'er beside Mrs. Hou, she looked around, didn't see anyone, and hurriedly left.
At that time, Song Shuwan had already returned to the banquet and was serving Pei Huan a dish, when she caught a glimpse of Mrs. Hou's suddenly changing face out of the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
In the next moment, Mrs. Hou's gaze met her directly.
Song Shuwan pulled the corners of her lips slightly, and bowed her head slightly as a greeting.
Mrs. Hou pursed her lips, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, be proud, you won't be complacent soon.
At this moment, a shout came: "Kill, kill, someone was killed......"
After a brief silence, there was silence in the hall, followed by chaos.
Hou Ye was furious: "Sit down for Ben Hou!" ”
In an instant, the chaos came to a standstill, and the guests looked at each other and sat back down one by one.
Hou Ye said lightly: "You continue to eat and drink, and Ben Hou will come when he goes." ”
However, Song Shuwan would not let him leave alone, as soon as Hou Ye got up, she stood up: "Hou Ye, my daughter-in-law will go with you to take a look." ”
Song Shuwan said, not giving the Hou Mansion a chance to refuse, and directly pushed the wheelchair out.
Seeing this, Hou Ye could only press the rejection that came to his lips, and his face was gloomy and followed.
Soon, Song Shuwan saw the corpse, it was Bai Qing.
The person who was talking to Zhong Rou who was still smiling Yan Yan before was lying in the lotus pond at this time, his eyes wide open, and there was still shock and disbelief in it.
The little servant of the Hou Mansion went into the water, fished up the white and green corpses in the pool, and carefully placed them on the edge.
Hou Ye's expression was ugly, and he wanted to report to the official, but when he thought of the guests in the front yard, he pressed the thought in his heart again: "Drag it down and bury it, don't make a noise." ”
"Yes."
The little servant of the Hou Mansion carried away the corpse, and the Hou Ye did not stay here, but when he passed by Song Shuwan and Pei Huan, he reminded him lightly.
"Today's banquet is for the reputation of the Hou Mansion, it's just a dead person, don't spoil your plans."
Song Shuwan pursed her lips, watched Hou Ye's figure disappear into the distance, and frowned: "Has Hou Ye always been so contemptuous of human life?" ”
In the wheelchair, Pei Huan's fingers lightly buckled the armrest next to him, and the sound of "dada" was not loud, but it penetrated deep into Song Shuwan's heart.
"In this Hou Mansion, as long as it's not yourself, it doesn't matter if anyone dies."
Song Shuwan's brows furrowed even tighter: "But that is a relative brought in by Mrs. Hou, and he died for no reason after only a few days of entering the mansion, isn't it natural to give an explanation?" ”
Pei Huan seemed to have heard some joke, and he couldn't stop laughing: "In two years, that woman has brought no less than ten relatives into the mansion, do you think there are really so many girls in her family who let her bring them into the Hou Mansion?" ”
Song Shuwan was stunned: "What the prince said is true? ”
"I don't have to lie to you."
While speaking, Pei Huan turned sideways slightly, and his empty eyes fell on Song Shuwan: "That woman is very vicious, there is nothing she can't do, if you confront her, you must be careful." ”
Song Shuwan thought of the few people in the kitchen who were watched by Baicao, and couldn't help but sigh: "I guess I can't hide from it." ”
As she spoke, she told her about the loss of the peach blossom brew.
