Chapter 16
Ai Lan's complexion tightened on purpose, and she was overjoyed at seeing Pomegranate, thinking that she had guessed right, but suddenly she heard Ai Lan say: "It's nonsense! I am not left-handed, as Nanny Song and Sister Liya can testify, I have always You stayed at the fire of the stove without moving away, it is clear that you accidentally overturned the dish and you want to frame me, what is your intention?"

Pomegranate immediately retorted: "I didn't, it's because you overturned the dish!"

Ailan ignored Pomegranate, bowed to Nanny Song again, and said: "Just now Pomegranate has stated the whole process of the servant overturning the vegetable bowl, but he gave ambiguous answers to the few doubts raised by the servant. If these are not enough In order for Nanny Song and Nanny Bai to determine who overturned the vegetable bowl, the servant has one more obvious evidence."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised and curious about this "obvious evidence".

"If the servant had knocked over the vegetable bowl by the stove at that time, no matter how fast he reacted, he would have been splashed by the soup. However, the servant did not have a speck of soup on his body, but there was a large piece of obvious soup on the leg of Pomegranate's trousers. There are no traces, please ask Nanny Song and Nanny Bai to check it out."

Nanny Song nodded, and Nanny Bai curled her lips unwillingly. The traces of soup on pomegranate were so obvious that there was no need to check it carefully, but there was no trace of soup on Ailan's body.

Mammy Mao thought, if Erlan had revealed this obvious evidence earlier, wouldn't the truth be revealed?
However, at this time, Pomegranate was still dying, crying and shouting: "Don't believe that little bitch's nonsense, she has no soup on her body because she ran to hide, mother Bai, please help me!" , I don't want to kneel in the south corner..."

Mammy Mao opened her mouth wide and suddenly realized that if Erlan hadn't used Pomegranate step by step at the beginning, and had just given this evidence, Pomegranate would definitely bite back and say that Erlan ran away to avoid it. Pomegranate became the victim of the soup, and everyone must believe in pomegranate.

What a clever boy!Mammy Mao took a deep look at Ai Lan.

Pomegranate was fined to kneel on the green brick in the south corner, and she didn't even have lunch or dinner today.Many people have seen Pomegranate being punished, but everyone is used to it, and in addition to Pomegranate's previous behavior of bullying the weak and fearing the hard-pressed, now there are fewer sympathizers and more schadenfreudes.

As for the chickens that were knocked over by the pomegranate, of course they couldn't be thrown away. Nanny Song asked Ai Lan to pick them up, clean them, put them in the pot and reprocess them again, and that's all.

During lunch, Li Ya whispered to Ai Lan from time to time while eating, her voice couldn't hide her joy: "Erlan, you are really amazing, that girl Pomegranate is purely her own fault!"

Ai Lan thought to herself, didn't she do it on her own?This time the punishment is light, and next time, don't blame her for being rude. Thinking of her previous life, how many hard-talking criminals who have never repented have been sent to a mental hospital by her!
Not long after, Nanny Song and Nanny Bai came back from Nanny Liu, gathered all the maidservants in the second kitchen and said one thing, that is, Marquis Wu'an's Mansion will hold a spring banquet in mid-March. At that time, many dignitaries and nobles in the capital will be invited to attend.

Nanny Bai assumed the posture of a leader, talking about various precautions, probably because the kitchen will be busy on the day of the spring banquet, and the second kitchen will assist the first kitchen in organizing the spring banquet. In front of the banquet, food and other things for the servants are secondary. It would be nice to have time to eat cold steamed buns. In order for this spring banquet to be held successfully, everyone must work hard to obey orders and not be lazy. Make trouble and so on.

That night, when Ai Lan returned to the residence from the kitchen to rest, she saw Zaohua holding an embroidered frame next to the bean-like lights in a daze, her eyes were red, obviously she had cried.

Zaohua's heart was in a daze, and Ai Lan couldn't read what happened, so she asked tentatively, "Sister Zaohua, did Sister Huaihua bully you again?"

Zaohua was still in a daze, but Huaihua who pushed the door and walked in gave Ai Lan a reproachful look: "I didn't bully her! It was her good sister who entered the mansion together that died!" Huaihua casually threw the wood The basin was placed on the first shelf behind the door, and with a rare sigh, he whispered, "Alas, for us servants, our lives are in the hands of our masters, who let us die in the third watch. , we won’t be able to survive the fourth watch, let’s accept our fate!”

Sophora japonica's words made Zaohua even more sad, and cried again.

At this time, Ai Lan learned from the voices of the two people that it was Aunt Wu who ordered a second-class maidservant in her yard to be killed with a cane. The reason was that she accidentally dropped a teacup and was crying The Fourth Young Master who fell asleep in his infancy.
