The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 25 Public Interrogation
"This servant wanted to find Steward Chen and ask her to order food for the lord herself, but I didn't expect that Steward Chen just happened to go out. So this servant went to the kitchen in person, and happened to meet Bai Jiujiu and that old woman carrying a vegetable basket on the way. Go to the kitchen. If the maidservant remembers correctly, the two of them carried a vegetable basket each. Because the woman accidentally knocked over the vegetable basket, the melons and fruits rolled to the ground, so they picked them up and brought them to the well again."

Liao Er glanced at Bai Jiujiu in the crowd while speaking.Jiujiu only felt that she had a very serious face at the moment, but when she looked at herself, there was a strange smile in her eyes.That smile made her panic.Fluffy, but I still don't feel that I have done anything wrong.

Liao'er is Yan Ruoling's maid, so Yan Ruoling is very familiar with her way of speaking.At this moment, seeing that she not only stopped talking, but her eyes drifted to a certain direction, she suddenly understood a lot.Well, after all, it's my maid who knows how to take revenge for her master.

Liao'er received the encouraging gaze from her young lady, and her nervous mood immediately settled down a bit.Taking a deep breath, he said to Xia Jinchai who was standing with his hands behind his back.

"Because of the time issue, I was afraid to keep the prince and the young lady waiting for a long time, so the servant took the vegetable basket that Bai Jiujiu had put aside because she was anxious to go back to wash with the mother-in-law, and brought it into the kitchen first." Said here.Liao'er became excited and slammed his head three times towards Xia Jinchai.

"My lord Mingjian, Liao'er saw that the vegetables on the basket were clean and neatly placed before carrying them into the kitchen with confidence. It was really such a small step of meddling. Then as soon as I entered the kitchen, I handed over Little chef. Then just watch him cook."

Speaking of this, I don't know that Liao Er wanted to rest after talking too much and tired, and also stopped on purpose when he talked about the key point.She was fine all the time, but Lin Hai, the little chef, couldn't hold it any longer.

"When I, Lin Hai, was cooking, you watched from the beginning to the end. Unless there is something wrong with the ingredients, how could it be dirty if you just stir-fry them a few times!"

Hearing this, Liao Er's expression became hesitant.It's like encountering an inconclusive matter, not knowing whether to say it or not to say it.

Knocking out a tooth can be a painful thing for others.But for him, Xia Jinchai, apart from bringing back all kinds of unbearable past events and making him feel painful, the smell of blood and the pain that is weaker than scratching are really dismissive.

It's just that I'm really bored now.And you have to find someone to vent your anger on, and you have to get back the lost face, right?So he chose to turn a small matter into a big one.

What satisfied him was that this maid, Liao'er, was really capable of singing.Kneeling there alone frightened a large group of people, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.What's interesting is that when Liao'er clicked on that silly girl, she always thought that she would not be able to resist jumping to get rid of the crime in a few words, but who would have thought, hehe, there is actually a fool who is more impatient than her.

"Say, why are you hesitating!" The climax needs to be pushed forward, and Xia Jinchai, who is a spectator, is very happy to help.

Liao'er lowered his head, looked at the ground and continued: "According to Liao'er's careful recollection, because of his impatience, he was indeed staring at the cook all the time while cooking. From cooking raw vegetables, heating, adding seasonings, until serving .It seems that I really didn’t see anything strange.”

"Be careful what you say, there is nothing in the first place, don't make it seem like it is!"

Lin Hai, the little chef, is in a hurry, although he usually looks like a fool, but that is just an appearance.When I am working, I can put my mind to it, otherwise can the dishes I cook be so delicious and delicious?Can the widow Chen who picks up the dead be willing to spend money to keep herself?Hearing the nonsense of Liao'er, a servant girl who has no morals but only spitting blood, he wanted to rush up and slap her.You know, the person listening to her is Lord Chai!In case Prince Chai is not happy to hear it, it's fine to punish him a few boards. If this matter gets out and ruins his little signboard, how can he be in the chef world!
"Then... since you didn't make any mistakes during the cooking process, I'm afraid there is only..." Liao Er looked at Xia Jin Chai hesitantly, the answer was so clear, it's better for you to speak out, Lord Chai.

Xia Jinchai naturally understood what Liao Er meant.If it was normal, he must hate others using him like this, but now is an exception.Because he saw that small figure in the crowd began to get nervous.It's really weird, seeing her nervous, I feel happy for no reason, haha￣

"Well, the cook didn't make any mistakes, that's the fault of the dishes themselves." Having said that, Xia Jinchai deliberately paused.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that it was the fault of the dish itself, Bai Jiujiu's tense little face began to burst slightly.The corner of the mouth could even clearly see a slight curvature.Pink and tender, really cute.Xia Jinchai was stunned when he saw it.

Yan Ruoling has never been slow to react. Although he has been with this Lord Chai for a long time, especially after the temptation yesterday, he knows that he should not guess his mind at will.However, seeing that she was able to punish this woman who had depended on Prince Chai for the first time, yet Prince Chai could say that it was the fault of the food itself, which made her annoyed and jealous.

Vegetables are bought by people, picked by people, and washed by people!With such clamor in my heart, I couldn't help but say it out of my mouth.

"My lord is wise! Since the cook is right, there must be a problem with the quality of the dishes." Yan Ruoling's eyes were sharp, and she had already noticed that Xia Jinchai had fixed her eyes on Bai Jiujiu at some point.Although she was puzzled and puzzled, no matter what, she was very unwilling to see this scene.Therefore, in order to successfully win back Xia Jinchai's attention, he deliberately strengthened the tone and intonation of his speech.

Sure enough, Xia Jinchai abruptly withdrew his gaze from Bai Jiujiu, and turned to look at her, Yan Ruoling.Yan Ruoling was proud.

He quickly walked to the table in three steps and two steps, holding up the half-eaten dish with one hand.Using chopsticks with his right hand, he picked up a few of them and asked, "Who washed this dish?"

Bai Jiujiu was stunned.This dish...isn't it just my choice...

"I washed it." Granny Zhu let go of Bai Jiujiu's hand, took a step forward, and said calmly.

"Mother-in-law, are you sure?" Yan Ruoling smiled gently.

"Nonsense, can my old lady remember what dishes she washed herself?" Granny Zhu gave her a blank look and said straightforwardly.

"Hehe, Ruo Ling always thought that with her mother-in-law's qualifications in the kitchen of Chunyue Building, she must be a responsible person. Who would have thought that she would cut corners when washing dishes. This really surprised Ruo Ling." Yan Ruoling was still full of enthusiasm. The gentleness of the face, but the words that were said, but it was the old face of Granny Zhu.
