Chapter 187 Almost silenced
  No one in Biheyuan knew that Cuiping was called away for torture, but Qingfeng Tower did.
  Huizhi was ordered to keep an eye on the movement, and after returning to report, he said: "Miss, everything is under your control!"
  "It's not yet under control." Shen Zhuoxi slowly drank herbal tea and said, "Cuiping has served Shen Xinyu for many years, so he must know Shen Xinyu's temperament."
  "Even the boy who set the fire could give perjury against Shen Jingya after being tortured, let alone her. She will definitely not be charged easily!"
  When Huizhi heard this, he said suspiciously: "Are you saying that Cuiping would rather die than betray the eldest lady?"
  "Absolutely. If you think about it from another perspective, if you were captured and tortured, would you easily tell me about me?" Shen Zhuoxi put down the tea cup and said, "At this time, you need something else."
  Hui Zhi asked in confusion: "What else?"
  "Everyone has their weaknesses. For example, Shen Xinyu's weakness is her position as princess." Shen Zhuoxi smiled mysteriously: "Where do you think Cuiping's weakness is?"
  Huizhi thought about it carefully, and Zhuye took over the words and said, "I can guess that Cuiping has a sweetheart who works in the house, and both of them have reached the point of proposing a marriage."
  "My slave has heard that Cuiping will be released to get married at the end of the year. Her weakness must be her sweetheart!"
  Huizhi listened and said in surprise: "How do you know?"
  Zhuye smiled and said: "Miss often takes Sister Hui Zhi and Sister Dragonfly with her when she goes out. The servants and Aunt Ju are idle in the yard, mostly inquiring about the affairs of the house."
  "Not to mention Cuiping, I also know more or less the news about other people."
  Shen Zhuoxi nodded approvingly and continued to ask: "Then do you know who her lover is?"
  "He's from the accountant's office." Zhuye thought for a while and said, "My name is Chen Lun. He is fair and can speak. There are several maids in the house who like him. Even the delphinium in the fourth lady's room likes him." Be considerate.”
  "Unfortunately, Cuiping still has a good hand, and the two of them had skin-to-skin contact in advance."
  "Huizhi." Shen Zhuoxi smiled: "You know how to do it?"
  Huizhi nodded and went out immediately.
  Shen Zhuoxi was not idle either and said: "Zhuye, follow me to the kitchen to have a look."
  People come and go in the backyard, but no one sets foot in the woodshed.
  When Shen Zhuoxi took the bamboo leaves, the dragonflies were drowsy at the door of the woodshed: "Miss, why are you here?"
  "What's going on?" Shen Zhuoxi pointed to the woodshed: "Still don't say a word?"
  "No, someone just brought food here." Dragonfly whispered: "From the sound, I guess I ate some, and I didn't mean to seek death."
  According to previous observations, if Ergou is determined not to speak, he will definitely not eat!
  Shen Zhuoxi suddenly lost his temper and couldn't care about anything else, so he kicked open the door.
  Inside the house, Ergou fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, his eyes turned white, and was twitching. The food on hand was missing half of it.
  "Quickly, bring water!" Shen Zhuoxi ordered Zhuye, while stepping forward to check Ergou's pulse.
  The pulse was a little weaker, but it was still there, and it looked like he was poisoned.
  Shen Zhuoxi laid the two dogs down and gave him acupuncture to force out the poison. Fortunately, it only took a short time and he didn't eat much food. Although the poison was powerful, it had not spread into his heart, so he was temporarily saved.
  Zhuye fetched water, and Shen Zhuoxi asked them to give the two dogs water, while she continued to detoxify the boy.
  After a while, Ergou started to cough, and then he vomited violently and unconsciously. The vomited stuff was black and smelly, and it looked like it was not normal eating.
  After vomiting a lot, Ergou finally opened his eyes slightly and gained some consciousness.
  "Okay, let's bring some clothes for him to change." Shen Zhuoxi used the remaining water to clean his hands and said, "Please hire some reliable people. He is weak. Don't let anyone harm you right in front of your eyes!"
  Dragonfly blamed herself: "Miss, it's all because of the slave's bad behavior. Even with my own eyes, I didn't find anything wrong. I almost had him silenced."
  "You didn't expect that someone would dare to poison you in front of you." Shen Zhuoxi did not blame him, but asked: "Do you remember who brought him food?"
  "I don't even know the person in the kitchen. I vaguely remember seeing him once in the morning." Dragonfly said angrily, "If I see someone, I will definitely recognize him."
  Shen Zhuoxi once again ordered the chef to recruit all the people in the back kitchen.
  The chef knew that Er Gou was almost killed. He was surprised and angry at the same time. He was in charge of the kitchen, but things went wrong one after another!
  Soon, everyone was called over.
  Dragonfly looked one by one, but she didn't find the person delivering the food. She thought she had made a mistake in panic, so she looked again carefully, but still didn't find the person.
  Shen Zhuoxi also noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice, "No?"
  "No." Dragonfly said firmly: "That young man has a thumb-sized black mole on his left cheek. It's very conspicuous. I can't mistake it. It's not there!"
  The chef listened, took the words, and said, "The chef is the person the girl said he was, but he said a day ago that there was an emergency at home and resigned from the job. How could he be here?"
  "It's even more impossible to deliver food to Ergou. The girl must be dazzled!"
  "I'm not wrong!" Dragonfly said anxiously, "That's the man. He's dressed the same as the people in your kitchen. Just because of the mole on his face, I took a few more glances."
  Shen Zhuoxi's face darkened: "What's that person's name? Does the chef know where he lives?"
  The chef thought about it and said, "He is not a long-term worker in the house. We all call him Scar. I don't know where the family lives."
  Shen Zhuoxi asked the others: "Have any of you seen Scar today?"
  A boy whispered: "After Miss Dragonfly just said that, I remembered that I saw Scar at noon. I was busy and thought I was dazzled."
  "If someone sees it, it proves that you are not dazzled." Shen Zhuoxi told Dragonfly: "Give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. If you go check this scar, someone will know him."
  After Dragonfly left, Shen Zhuoxi said to the others: "Today there is no peace in the house, it's all because of some villains. The house will definitely investigate strictly. I hope everyone can be more careful."
  "If anyone is greedy for money and does bad things, I will not forgive him lightly!"
  Everyone responded at the same time, and Shen Zhuoxi gave the chef a few more words before going to the woodshed to see the two dogs.
  Ergou changed his clothes and was completely awake. However, he had just been poisoned and his body had not fully recovered. His face was still dark, like a seriously ill person.
  Shen Zhuoxi asked the others to go out, squatted next to Ergou, and said, "If you don't say a word, someone will still kill you to silence you. Once you die, the crime will follow you to the grave."
  "Even if you go to hell, you will still be guilty. Why bother?"
  Ergou moved his lips, but still didn't say anything.
  Shen Zhuoxi paused and then said: "The reason why you refused to say it must be that the person is threatening your younger brother and sister. After this incident, you shouldn't think that the person will really protect you after your death." Younger brothers and sisters, right?"
  "You were able to save your life because I was here. I wonder if your relatives in other houses are as lucky as you?"
