Xiao Yicheng looked at Jiang Juan not far away, the lights were dim, but Xiao Yicheng still saw the flickering coolness between Jiang Juan's eyebrows, which was very different from her usual delicate and gentle image.

Xiao Yicheng's heart chuckled, and he finally sobered up.

It turned out that her weakness, panic, caution, and righteous indignation when she was on the ship were all pretended, or rather, these were not exactly her.

He used to be able to see through people's minds at a glance, but now he was defeated in the hands of Jiang Xuan.

Xiao Yicheng couldn't help laughing: I didn't expect that he would realize it this time.

Xiao Yicheng hesitated for a moment, and asked Cangyue: "Is there any whereabouts about the little princess?" ”

Cangyue didn't expect Xiao Yicheng to suddenly ask about this, and said: "Second son, my subordinates have already told you, everyone in the pear garden girl has tattoos, Yun Niang has a bad memory, and there are many girls, and she doesn't remember the pattern on the fourth aunt's right shoulder." ”

"As for the other girls, they don't pay attention to these things on weekdays, so they naturally forget about the fourth aunt's tattoo."

"Other subordinates are arranging for people to investigate one by one, and they have found no suspects for the time being."

Xiao Yicheng pondered: "I already know about the tattoo, why bother to check it again?" I want her background. ”

Cangyue was a little embarrassed: "The fourth aunt was picked up by someone, not to mention that the time has been long, and it is not so simple to find out the life history of a wandering orphan." ”

"Then check it out too."

Xiao Yicheng snorted, Cangyue hurriedly answered the order, and Xiao Yicheng disappeared into the night.

For many days after that, the Hou Mansion was relatively calm.

Song Huaijin thought about it in the ancestral hall, Xiao Yicheng went out to work as an exception, and although the other two aunts were dissatisfied with Jiang Juan, they were more interested in watching the excitement, so they were not embarrassed.

Xu is the main mother, even if she wants to get rid of Jiang Xuan, but thinking of the old lady who is sick in bed, she can only postpone this matter.

As for the rumors outside the Hou Mansion, because very few outsiders knew that Jiang Wan had returned to the Hou Mansion, after a long time, they all faded away.

Jiang Qian had a rare few quiet days, and he became extremely careful when treating the old lady.

After a few days of sunshine, the old lady seemed to have the intention of being sober, and her limbs could move slightly.

Xiao Yicheng would visit the old lady every time he came back from the barracks.

On this day, as soon as he came back from the old lady's side, he heard someone shouting: "Second son, something happened in the bamboo courtyard." ”

Bamboo courtyard, fourth aunt?

He suddenly looked stiff and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard that the fourth aunt trained the maid Qingdai by the lake, Qingdai was displeased, so she took advantage of the unpreparedness to push people into the lake, the lake water was cold and deep, and the fourth aunt was shivering when she was rescued, and it seemed that she was frozen."

"Now, the eldest lady is interrogating this matter in the bamboo courtyard."

Xiao Yicheng was puzzled: "How dare the subordinate push the master into the water?" ”

Although Qing Dai was originally a member of the Xu family, the Xu family has always been jealous of the evidence in Jiang Juan's hands, and will definitely not allow his subordinates to do such a stupid thing.

In the next moment, Xiao Yicheng raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly, put on his robe again, and said, "Let's go, go to the play!" ”

When Xiao Yicheng arrived, Jiang Juan was wrapped in cotton clothes on the side, his body shrunk and his face was slightly pale.

The eldest lady was questioning Qing Dai, and Qing Dai was crying.

"Big lady, the slave didn't push Aunt Jiang, she really didn't, she fell by herself, please believe the slave!"

Jiang Xuan's body trembled slightly, raised his hand and pointed at the other two subordinates, and said, "Big lady, someone has seen it with their own eyes, can I still lie?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked in the direction of her raised hand, and just happened to see Xiao Yicheng coming.

Jiang Xuan's expression paused slightly, "The second son came just in time, I was just pushed into the water by someone, obviously someone saw it, but the eldest lady didn't believe it, you say, in a cold day, who would joke about his body?" ”

Xiao Yicheng snorted secretly: Miss Jiao of other people's families may not, she is difficult to say.

He stood silently aside and said casually: "I don't know anything, don't ask me." ”

Xu Shi immediately looked at Jiang Juan, she obviously didn't say anything, when did she threaten not to believe Jiang Juan?

Her face sank, and she emphasized: "Aunt Jiang, I just came. ”

Jiang Juan turned around: "Then the eldest lady believes me?" ”

Xu Shi was speechless, turned his head to the two people and asked, "You guys are honest, did you really see it?" ”

The two nodded and replied, "Yes, when we passed by, we did see Sister Qingdai pushing Aunt Jiang into the water. ”

Xu's mind was slightly dark, these two were in the old lady's room, and they spoke reliably, but seeing was not necessarily believing, she didn't explicitly say that the two maids were embarrassed Jiang Juan, and Qingdai naturally wouldn't have that guts.

Therefore, Jiang Juan did it on purpose, she wanted to use this to knock Xu Shi Mo to move his mind.

Although Xu Shi understood, it was difficult to debunk it on his face, so he only said: "Qingdai, apologize to Aunt Jiang, and next time, I will not be spared." ”

Qing Dai was red-eyed and wanted to continue to argue, but after seeing Xu's eyes, she had no choice but to swallow her grievances and kowtow to Jiang Wan: "Aunt Jiang, slave maid ......"

Qingdai bit her lip and said aggrievedly: "Yes, it's all the slave's fault, and I also ask Aunt Jiang to have a lot of them, spare the slave and maid this time." ”

Seeing this, the eldest lady turned back to Jiang Wan and said, "She just came, and her attitude of admitting her mistakes is also sincere, why don't you be more generous to Aunt Jiang and give her another chance?" ”

It's also called sincerity!

Jiang Juan was dissatisfied, Qingdai only apologized, and there was not even a red mark on her forehead that kowtowed, such an attitude was clearly perfunctory, where was it sincere?

She said in a deep voice: "How can anyone dare to push the master into the water? I don't dare to use Qingdai anymore, so I ask the eldest lady to take people away. ”

Xu Shi was stunned, she vaguely understood that Jiang Juan's purpose was not only to beat, but also to slowly take her people away.

Xu Shi calmed down and said in a good voice: "If you make a mistake and drive people away, won't the Hou Mansion have to change people every day?" ”

"Aunt Jiang, the mistakes you made are no less than Qing Dai's, when did I care?"

"That's different, now that everyone dares to push the master, where can I still mobilize them in the future?"

Jiang Wan said yin and yang, "The eldest lady persuaded me to be generous, is it just because Qingdai was originally the eldest lady's person, and her heart is empty?" ”

Xu couldn't sit still for an instant, "What does Aunt Jiang mean that I instructed this?" ”

"How do I know?"

"You ......"

Xu's face turned red instantly, and she was just about to get up and go back angrily, but she was pressed down by Xiao Yicheng.

He said: "The fourth aunt insisted that Qingdai pushed you into the water according to the will of her stepmother, presumably because of the birthday banquet, and there is still a knot in your heart?" ”

Jiang Juan looked at Xiao Yicheng and didn't understand what he was going to do.

Xiao Yicheng said again: "I heard the fourth aunt say that you were poisoned after eating something sent by your stepmother, and you were forced to break into the eldest brother's room, and I have been careful since then." ”

"In the past few days, I have been investigating this matter, and I just found out that there was another person who was poisoned that day, does Aunt Jiang want to see who that person is?"
