boudoir

Chapter 130 She's Different

Under Wu Yinzhong's treatment, the old lady finally regained her breath, and at this moment, the old lady's hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"What happened? How could there be poison in the bird's nest?!"

The old man had only one wife and one concubine in his life, and he had a deep affection for the old lady. At this time, he was wearing an official uniform, and his body was already bent when he stepped through the door.Mrs. Yu rushed up to meet her with a sad expression on her face: "It's my daughter-in-law's fault. According to Dr. Wu's test, the bird's nest eaten by my mother contains a small amount of arsenic. It's okay to eat it for a short time, but it will endanger your life if you eat it for a long time! Now in the fourth room Aunt Cui has passed away with the child in her womb, and the old lady has been poisoned day by day, I hope my father will severely punish the murderer and vent my anger on my mother!"

The old man was so angry that his hands and feet were shaking, and a handkerchief in his hand was thrown to the ground suddenly: "Who did it?!"

When Mrs. Yu was about to answer, Liuli stepped forward and said: "Old Master Mingjian, those who dare to murder the old lady are naturally those who have conflicts with the old lady. Whoever the old lady is blocking the interests of, this person is very suspicious." The old man only needs to follow this to check, and he will naturally find out the truth!"

"Bold!"

Yu stood up abruptly, "Here I am talking to the old man, how can you interrupt?! You are young but have evil intentions. Not only do you want to kill the old lady, but now you want to mislead the old lady on purpose. Are you right?" I'm afraid that others don't know that you are keeping everything the old lady eats and uses?!"

Before Liuli could reply, the old lady seemed to have received some hint from Yu's last sentence, and immediately became angry, and said to her: "Your aunt's words are correct! The old lady's food is kept by you alone, and now Something happened, what do you say?!"

Liuli was seized by Mrs. Yu, so what is there to say now?Although she is certain that Mrs. Yu is the real murderer, but now she has no evidence, she can't use her suspicions as evidence. This will not only put Mrs. Yu on guard, but also make her unable to find any clues to testify against her, and may even lead to finding If there is no evidence, he will be charged with slandering the mistress!At that time, if she wanted to clear herself up, she might never have the chance again!
She looked at Aunt Su, at this time she could only place her hopes on her.But Aunt Su stood sideways, she didn't know if she had received her hint, but she murmured, she stepped forward and said to the old man: "I'm afraid this matter will not be clear for a while, without evidence, it is not good to conclude that it is Nine Girls The poison. The old lady's body is the most important thing. Now that this layer has been found, it is time to rescue it with all my strength. As for the questioning, Miss Nine is responsible for serving the food, so naturally she can't just let it go. In my opinion, the eldest lady What you said just now is very true, now let’s take Nine Girls to the Buddhist Hall to stay quietly for a few days, and wait for the old lady to settle the matter, and then come to interrogate her."

Liu Li was startled when she heard that she still wanted to lock herself up, but she calmed down after a while, and nodded without any trace.

The old man nodded and said: "You're right. Come here, take Miss Jiu down!"

This time it was replaced by two women in the main courtyard, Liuli followed them down very obediently.Before leaving, he glanced at Mrs. Yu, neither surprised nor impatient.

Yu's face was still full of color, seeing the old man going to the old lady's bedroom, he followed him non-stop.

Living in the right and wrong circle, fate is really as difficult to grasp as the oil in the soup. Who would have expected that just over an hour ago, Liuli was the uncompromising person in the main courtyard, and in a blink of an eye she became a suspect of murdering the old lady's life. prisoner?This is different from any previous slander. This time it is about the highest status woman in the He Mansion, who poisoned and killed Mrs. Shangshu. How big a crime is this?If it is light, it will be dealt with by the family law, if it is serious, it will be sent to the government. Liu Li's roots are not in the government. How can the group of people who regard her as a thorn in their side be willing to deal with her lightly?
Looking back, this matter had nothing to do with her at first, if it wasn't because she had seen Aunt Su's viciousness, so that she had prejudiced against all aunts and thus became suspicious of Aunt Feng, He Xiuyuan would never have thought of wanting to completely After checking the source of the poison, she would not end up in such a cocoon. This time, she was actually killed by herself, so she can't blame others.

The two women in the main courtyard used to nod and bow their heads when they saw Liuli, but now that they saw her in distress, their bodies were extraordinarily straight. pushed her in.The old woman who was guarding the courtyard gate was still the one who had glanced at her. Seeing that Liuli was escorted over, she was not surprised. She opened a room in the most remote part of the backyard calmly, and casually raised the hanging spider thread, and turned to let her go in.

When she was able to enter the door, the two women smiled and said across the threshold: "I have wronged you, we have to lock a lock here, and we will not be able to find it until the old man and the lady have given instructions." , you must not blame the little ones."

Then he took a big brass lock and locked the door with a bang.

Liuli glanced sideways at them, scanned the dusty room, and casually dragged a futon over the window meditation bed to pat the ashes and sat down.

Yu seems to want to fight her on purpose, although she doesn't know when she offended her again, it's worth seeing herself as a thorn in the side, but maybe according to what Aunt Su said, this fight between her and her is It will happen sooner or later, but now it is just changing from active to passive.Now that I think about it again, although she shouldn't suspect others in this matter, no one can guarantee that the poisonous bird's nest will never be exposed. fierce, thus becoming besieged on all sides.

She could have been spared the suffering of being imprisoned. Although the old lady was in poor health, her heart was like a mirror. She had an agreement with her. What good would the death of the old lady do her?She believed that the old lady trusted her, and as long as she waited a little longer for Wu Yinzhong to wake up the old lady, she would be sure that the old lady would keep herself.But doing so would not be beneficial to her in the long run. How important is it to poison the Lord?Even if the old lady can protect her for a while, how can she protect her forever?The old lady has been taking bird's nest since she fell ill the year before last. Judging from her body, she may have been eating this poisonous bird's nest from the very beginning, so she has been taking poison for two years!Even if the old lady has a solid wall, she may be corroded by poison at this time, and she will be riddled with holes. One day, when she finally knows nothing about her affairs, if Mrs. Yu mentions this matter again, wouldn't all the masters in He Mansion confiscate all of them? All the resentment was directed at her?And when things had changed, where would she go to find evidence for herself?

Just now when Aunt Su said that she was going to lock herself up, she was really startled, but then she figured out the key point, instead of only caring about the immediate safety and leaving future troubles, it is better to follow Aunt Su's suggestion, Now let her be at Yu's mercy for the time being, so as to confuse her and make her think that there is nothing she can do, and in the end she can only bear the blame.When she relaxes her vigilance at that time, she will try to save herself in the dark, no matter how powerful she is, Mrs. Yu would never have guessed that she actually has other plans.

So at the moment she is very calm, raising her eyes to look at the room, her eyes have adapted to the light after a while, this was originally a meditation room, inside there are all kinds of meditation beds, but it has not been used for a long time, and a lot has accumulated dust.Outside the back window of the Buddhist hall are the flowers and trees in the back garden. This place is very close to the Xiaokua courtyard where I lived at the beginning, but the people who are available now, such as Laurel Begonia, have all gone to the main courtyard, so it is very difficult to send some news out.

At critical times, it is always good to have one or two useful talents.

Liuli stayed in the main courtyard for more than a year, from a humble illegitimate daughter to a reluctant concubine, to now the hottest girl in the main courtyard. It is not a big deal to have a pregnant aunt, and the servants are just talking about it as a gossip, but before the words are finished, this nine-year-old girl has become the murderer of the old lady and was imprisoned. It makes people's love of gossip boil.

For a while the news spread throughout the whole He Mansion, some cursed Liuli for being cruel, some ridiculed her for drowning Fenghuang into a chicken, and some silently watched the changes.Guo Xia, who was teaching in the Indus Courtyard, couldn't help being surprised to see that the girls were absent at noon. When Shi Mo mentioned this, he was stunned for a moment, then put on a blouse and came to the main courtyard.

Mrs. He had already come to her senses at this time, half lying on the couch with a pale face.The old man and his sons and daughters-in-law gathered in front of the hall, most of them were full of anger, while the three maids beside Liuli were all kneeling on the ground, Shuangxi was reporting something to Mrs Yu, and Yuegui Haitang was just weeping silently.

No one in the room expected Guo Xia to come, and they were all a little surprised. After all, she has been in the mansion for so long, and as long as she is not present, she will not intervene in any family affairs, let alone intervene. Why come again.It's still the old lady who is good at socializing, and he didn't want to let outsiders watch this important matter, so he cupped his hands and said: "Mr. came here unfortunately, there was an unworthy daughter in the family, which caused the poor wife to be ill for a long time. Today, I am planning to severely punish this matter. Sir, I have something to do, please come back another day."

Guo Xia returned the salute and said, "I don't know who this unworthy girl is mentioned by Master Shangshu?"

The old man let out a long sigh, and said, "That's Liuli, the concubine daughter of the eldest house!"

Guo Xia was silent for a while, seeing the faces of everyone present, he shook his head with the old man and withdrew.

After returning to the Indus Courtyard, she sat facing the window for a while, and suddenly called Ren Ran: "Liuli is locked up, you should pay attention to the movement in the front yard these days, if there is something wrong, please come and tell me immediately."

After hearing this, Ren Ran smiled and said, "Master never cares about other people's housework."

Guo Xia turned her head away, seemingly upset, "No, she's different."

Ren Ran was silent, nodded and backed away.
