"What is this doing?"

The person kneeling outside the door turned out to be Wu Xiang's maidservant Ruilan!

"Mrs. Chu, woo, the slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and the slave are specially here to ask you for their guilt!"

Ruilan cried miserably, her face full of tears, and she wanted to kowtow as she spoke.

Su Liuye had a headache when she saw her like this, and hurriedly said, "You hurry up, what happened?" Did Wu Xiang ask you to poison the well at night, and you came over to beg for mercy when you saw that the matter was about to be revealed? ”

"No, it's not." Ruilan's pupils shrank, and her whole body trembled, "Mrs. Chu, I ......"

"Ruilan, this is the new Master Xie from the Yamen."

She interrupted Ruilan's words, and introduced Xie Nanxiao next to her with a cold expression, "If you know anything, you can tell me honestly, if Master Xie finds out, I won't be able to protect you." Besides, if you really did something, it was also ordered by your young lady, right? If something happens, will your young lady protect you? ”

Ruilan trembled, recalling Wu Xiang's beating and scolding of her, and her heart was even more sad.

Servant girls like them, who have signed a deed of sale, should have been born as a member of the master's family, and died as a ghost of the master's family.

It's just that Wu Xiang's temper has become more and more irritable recently, and she is afraid that if something really happens, Wu Xiang will be the first to push her out......

"Woo, Mrs. Chu, the slaves and maids have all explained." Ruilan wept bitterly.

She had struggled for a long time and didn't dare to betray Wu Xiang, but when she saw the head catcher of the yamen walking towards Wu Xiang's room, she knew that the matter might have been revealed.

"Let's talk about it in the house."

Chu Yan suddenly spoke, with dissatisfaction on his face, "It's windy outside. ”

Su Liuye was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted.

This feeling of being cared for made her nod warmly in her heart, "Okay, let's go into the house first." ”

"Ah Liu, I'll help you!"

Qin Lian walked over quickly, and spit out as she passed in front of Ruilan, "I'll just say it!" This matter must have something to do with Wu Xiang! ”

"Ah Lian, don't say it yet."

Su Liuye pulled Qin Lian's hand, and when she looked back, Ruilan's face really turned pale.

A slave like her, who has been sold since she was a child, it is very difficult to betray her master, Ruilan is afraid that she has to struggle to dare to come over, if she is stimulated again, she is afraid that she will have to help Wu Xiang keep her mouth shut.

After closing the door, Su Liuye suddenly felt that her body was not so uncomfortable.

Chu Yan put the warm porridge in front of her, and put a few side dishes next to her.

Su Liuye looked at him, as if her heart was gently stirred by a pair of invisible big hands.

Although this man didn't talk much, he was always by her side.

Today's events happened so suddenly, and for her, companionship is really too important. Every time she turned around, she could see Chu Yan standing beside her, which gave her the courage to face all this.

Su Liuye took a sip of tea and asked, "Ruilan, tell me, what happened?" ”

Ruilan followed in a restrained manner, looking at the few people in the room, her face became even paler, "Miss, Xiao, asked me to buy croton powder from the medicine hall before, looking for an opportunity to pour the croton powder into the well in the backyard......"

"You guys!"

When Qin Lian heard this, she immediately became angry, so angry that she didn't know what to say, "So, you suddenly don't want to put croton, and you put the intestine breaking grass, right?" ”

"No, no!" Ruilan was so frightened that she knelt directly on the ground, trembling and said, "Miss Qin, I really didn't put anything!" You see, this is the croton powder I bought from the medicine hall, it's all here! ”

Ruilan hurriedly took out the croton powder he bought before from his arms, "It's all here, I haven't used it." ”

Master Xie took it, opened it and looked at it for a while, repackaged the thing, and put it in his hand and checked it.

"How much does this bag of croton powder weigh?"

Ruilan hurriedly said, "Seven coins weigh." ”

"Seven bucks?" Su Liuye frowned.

If the seven-dollar croton flour is poured into the well, the diners who come to dine this morning will probably run to the huts, and the news will definitely be that the cyclamen is not clean and eats people's stomachs.

Thinking of this, Su Liuye's face was uncomfortable.

Wu Xiang's hand disgusted her.

Cyclamen is her hard work, and Wu Xiang is trampling on her hard work by doing this!

"Okay."

Xie Nanxiao didn't say much, just put away the croton flour, and asked, "What else is there besides the croton flour?" ”

Ruilan bit out, hesitated for a moment, and said timidly, "Miss asked me to pour croton powder into the well last night, and I passed by when I was near, I was afraid of being seen by others." ”

"The time passed?"

Master Xie was interested, "You continue." ”

Ruilan swallowed her saliva, "I, I don't dare to pour, I'm afraid that Mrs. Chu will know, and I'm afraid that I will be scolded by Miss when I go back, so I secretly hid next to me, and when I saw someone go to the well!" ”

"Did you really see that? Who is it? ”

Qin Lian immediately asked, this person is likely to be the murderer!

The murderer must be found out immediately and the diners must be given an explanation!

"I—I didn't see it clearly." Ruilan shook her head, "It was so dark that I only saw a dark shadow, which looked like a woman. ”

"Woman?"

Su Liuye and Qin Lian glanced at each other and saw the surprise on each other's faces, "What else do you see besides this?" Can you see where the woman came from? ”

"I don't know." Ruilan shook her head.

"Then how do you know it's a child?" Master Xie asked.

"I, I heard the beating outside, and then I saw her pour the things in her hand into the well, I don't know what she poured, I didn't dare to look at it and left." The more Ruilan spoke, the more frightened he became.

Now that I think about it, it turns out that the person she saw last night was the one who poisoned her, and if the other party knew that she saw it, she might kill someone......

The more Ruilan thought about it, the more scared she became, the person who could poison the well must not be a good person.

"Later, the yacha will come to you to paint a portrait, and you can describe the person's appearance in detail."

Master Xie said.

"Okay, okay."

Ruilan didn't dare to think about anything at the moment.

She told Su Liuye about Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang definitely couldn't tolerate her, and she could only take refuge in Su Liuye at present.

The yacha soon came over and took Ruilan away.

Su Liuye's expression was not very good-looking, and he was a little disgusted when he thought that he had actually brought Wu Xiang back.

It seems that human kindness is sometimes superfluous.

But since the person who poisoned her was not Ruilan, it means that there are other people who want to harm her.

Su Yeliu sighed, and suddenly felt that this Qingzhou County couldn't stay.

There are often conflicts in a small place, and it is impossible to do business here.

Su Liuye rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Master Xie, I'm sorry for you to wait for me outside for a while, I want to go and see how the guests outside are doing." ”
