The Reborn Wife Returns

Chapter 69
If it weren't for the Qi family's superior status in the clan, he would definitely not have been in this muddy water.

"Young Mistress said that you did not inflict the poison, but you took care of the old lady. You can investigate this matter, so that the old man can explain it to the clan." Qi Sheng said with a slightly pale face.

Gong Qinglan nodded: "I'm bothering the patriarch."

Qi Chuying was unconvinced, and said sharply: "This room is all yours, and it is easy for you to poison. Do you dare to let people search your yard? If I wronged you, I will kneel down and give it to you." Kowtow to apologize!"

Gong Qinglan raised her eyebrows in an instant, and glanced at Qi Chuying lightly, Qi Chuying said with a sneer, "Are you guilty? You are so tight in this room, how can Madam Xu succeed?"

Gong Qinglan took the poisoned bowl and turned to order Jin Hua: "Go and send Madam Xu to come in."

Nanny Xu has been guarding outside, never leaving.

Hearing the call from the eldest young lady, my whole body trembled, and I immediately cheered up, opened the bead curtain and went in.Fushen greeted the patriarch and Gong Qinglan.

Looking at the panic-stricken old lady on the bed, her eyes were red with distress.Looking at the patriarch, he hesitated to speak, and finally mustered up the courage, but when he touched Gong Qinglan's half-smile eyes, the words stuck in his throat.

"Did you torment this medicine yourself? Did it come from someone else?" Qi Sheng asked as he put the medicine bowl on the table.

Nanny Xu nodded: "The old lady's medicine has always been tormented by the old slave." She was worried about Gong Qinglan's people.

"Has this bowl ever been in the hands of the young lady?"

The patriarch asked carefully, and Madam Xu became suspicious, and she dared not slacken in replying: "The eldest young mistress fed it herself, and the servant brought the medicine in, and then she was kicked out." After a pause, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly He opened the mouth and said: "During the time when the servant was decocting medicine, she was distracted by the young lady's people for a while. When she rushed to the kitchen, she saw a figure very similar to the young lady leaving from a distance."

Qi Sheng groaned, and looked at Gong Qinglan with sharp eyes: "Young Mistress, are you willing to search for it?"

Gong Qinglan hesitated for a while, nodded, and sighed helplessly: "Since you are all determined, to show your innocence, let's search." Staring fixedly at Qi Chuying, she said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, remember Your words!"

To show justice, Qi Sheng sent two of his guards, one of Qi Chuying's servant girls, and one of Gong Qinglan's servant girls, to search the house together.

After a while, several people came back. Qi Chuying's maid turned pale and shook her head ugly: "No."

Qi Chuying and Madam Xu suddenly looked up, didn't they?How can it be?She obviously let that dead girl hide things in the mattress of the bed!
"Have you searched carefully?" Qi Chuying asked with a gloomy face, gnashing her teeth.Secretly cursing Gong Qinglan as a cunning woman in her heart, I'm afraid she was so calm and calm because she knew about it.

"Sister-in-law, you can save yourself by kowtowing and kneeling. The health of the old lady is the most important thing. Now that the matter has reached this point, and the murderer has not been found out, it is absolutely impossible to calm down." Gong Qinglan's tone was gentle, but she was very strong: "My house No, my sister-in-law and Nanny Xu insisted that it was me, could it be that you colluded in advance? Planted me with poison?"

Qi Sheng roughly understood the whole story, and looked at Madam Xu with sharp eyes: "But you poisoned the young lady wrongly?"

Mother Xu was startled, and hurriedly said: "The old slave has been loyal to the old lady all his life, how could he poison the old lady and cut off his own way?"

Qi Sheng remained silent, and Nanny Xu served the old lady without marrying all her life, and murdered the old lady...

"Why don't you search Nanny Xu and sister-in-law's house, if it's clean, we can start from other places to picket the murderer." Gong Qinglan reminded.

Nanny Xu dug her fingernails into her palm and wanted to agree, but she seemed to have scruples, so she was a little hesitant.

This action, in Qi Sheng's view, was a guilty conscience.

"Search!"

It turned out that several servant girls immediately went to the courtyard of Qi Chuying and Madam Xu.

After about a stick of incense, the two servants brought out the bundles found from Nanny Xu and Qi Chuying's house, and put them on the small table in front of Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng opened the bundle, which was wrapped in a square mahogany box, opened the lid, and the silver ingots were neatly arranged, filling a box full.Another carved nanmu box is still full of silver.

His eyes fell on the white powder on the silver ingot inside the mahogany box, Qi Sheng sent someone to pass it to the doctor.

The moment Nanny Xu found out the baggage, her face was pale and bloodless.It was the private property she had accumulated for most of her life, and it was all the money that the second wife took to buy her.

Feeling uneasy in my heart, it seems that today's show is a stage that has already been set up, and they have been reduced from the protagonist to the supporting role, singing the farce of the conspiracy and conspiracy.

However, she has already entered the scene, how can she get out of the scene?
Sure enough, the next moment, I heard the doctor say: "This fine powder is the same poison as the medicine bowl."

"Do you have something to say?" Qi Sheng looked at the pale-faced Nanny Xu, and he had an idea in his mind, and planned to tie her down.Stopped by Gong Qinglan: "Wait!"

Carefully avoiding Bai Mo, Gong Qinglan took out a silver ingot, looked at it carefully and said, "Isn't this the silver of the second room? If I remember correctly, the second aunt is used to draw two equal lines at the bottom of the silver."

Hearing this, Qi Sheng turned the box over, poured out all the silver, and there was a line at the bottom of each ingot.

Qi Chuying's heart skipped a beat, she knew that her mother had such a quirk that even the bank notes were marked.Could it be that this bastard planted money on the second room?

Sure enough, the next moment Gong Qinglan took out the silver from the nanmu carved box, the imprint was the same as that of Grandma Xu, and she gasped, "How can Grandma Xu's silver be the same as my sister-in-law's?"

Nanny Xu plopped on the ground and shouted repeatedly: "Your servant is wronged. This servant has devoted herself to serving the old lady for most of her life, so how could she be poisoned? This money is given to the servant by the young lady. She has the old lady in her heart, saying that the old lady has slept. Age, I want my servant to take good care of me." As she said that, she burst into tears: "This servant was framed! Back then I really saw the young mistress go to the kitchen, if you don't believe that the patriarch can ask the housemaid to come, she also saw it .”

Qi Sheng asked people to bring in Nanny Fang from the kitchen, and Nanny Fang glanced at Nanny Xu, and said sternly: "I forgot to turn off the stove today, this month's carbon is too high, I'm afraid of being caught The steward withdrew the money, and the old slave went back to the kitchen. I saw Xu Nai and the second master talking at the back door of the kitchen. They were too far away, and vaguely heard the words "money and old lady". Then the second master took a bag and stuffed it into the kitchen. Afraid of being discovered by them, the old servant quietly went back to the house." Suddenly, Fang's eyes fell on the bundle on the table, and she testified: "It is this gray cloth with dark patterns."
