Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 19 Confession
Gu Yanxi waited for half a stick of incense in the Furong courtyard, and Lei Shu ran in from outside the courtyard with a tense face.

Seeing the third girl sitting on the chair, he handed over the things he had found, and at the same time whispered in the third girl's ear.

Gu Yanxi looked at the things wrapped in oiled paper in his hand, then took a few hard glances at Tao Nanny who was kneeling on the ground, and after pushing back Lei Shu, he stood up and walked slowly in front of Tao Nanny .

"Mother Tao, do you know what I'm holding in my hand?"

Tao Nanny knew something was wrong when she saw Gu Yanxi's eyes looking at her. Could it be that the three girls really found evidence?That packet of hazelnut flour isn't actually 'hazelnut flour'?But really arsenic?
At the moment when this possibility arose in her heart, Mother Tao didn't even have time to curse Jiang, so she hurriedly knelt on the ground, living up to her previous calmness, and shouted: "Miss San, this old slave really doesn't know anything. , The thing in your hand is actually a bag of hazelnut powder, this hazelnut powder is also used to make snacks, it is not arsenic that can kill people!"

Tao Nanny knew that at this moment, she could only insist that she did not hide arsenic, let alone confess the second wife easily, otherwise, she might really face disaster this time.

Gu Yanxi sneered at Nanny Tao who dared to play tricks in front of her at this point, and was not in a hurry to argue with her, but slowly opened the oiled paper bag in her hand, and looked at a spoonful of Huangmao inside. White noodles, slowly facing Tao Nanny who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Said: "It turns out that this package is hazelnut powder. Since it can be eaten, it can't be poisonous; it's just Madam Tao, right now everyone in my Furongyuan is like a frightened bird, and no one can say anything." Believe me; in this way, in order to prove that this bag of unknown substance is really hazelnut powder, please ask Nanny Tao to eat it in front of everyone. If Mammy Tao is fine after eating it, then it proves It's really a bag of hazelnut meal, and your suspicions will be cleared, how about it? Mammy will try it?"

After speaking, Gu Yanxi passed the things in his hand to Nanny Tao, as if he didn't see the panic in her eyes, waiting for her reply.

Mother Tao looked at the innocent and innocent third girl in front of her in horror. She didn't expect that the third girl with the best temper was such a ruthless character; It's easy to say, but in case the Second Madam gave her a packet of arsenic, wouldn't she be killed on the spot after eating it?

Nanny Tao, who has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, never thought that she would be forced into such a situation one day!

On the spot, he collapsed to the ground like a pool of rotten meat, shrank back, shook his head constantly, and muttered, "No! I don't want to eat it! I don't want to eat this thing!"

Gu Yanxi had long expected that Nanny Tao would not dare to touch this thing at all, seeing her guilty look, she pressed her every step of the way: "Nurse Tao, it was you who said this bag was hazelnut powder, I will let you Why are you so afraid of eating a bag of hazelnut flour? Or is this bag not hazelnut flour, but something else that cannot be touched?"

"No... no no! Third Miss, this is hazelnut powder, it's real hazelnut powder...Third Miss, please trust this old slave, this old slave never thought of harming you!"

"Okay, it's very easy for me to believe you, as long as you eat this package in front of me, I will believe you." After speaking, Gu Yanxi insisted on sending the oiled paper package forward again.

Seeing Gu Yanxi's movements, Nanny Tao screamed, and knocked down the oil-paper bag brought forward to the ground. Seeing the yellow-white powder noodles spilled all over the floor, she trembled as if she had seen a scourge. Huddled into a ball, with an expression of extreme guilt and fear, it was difficult for people not to doubt her.

Looking at Nanny Tao like this, Gu Yanxi stood up straight, as if watching a joke, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, smiling slightly.

Compared to Gu Yanxi's calmness, Gu Yanchao has a violent temper. Looking at Nanny Tao's timid and guilty look, he knew that the plate of poisonous snacks must have something to do with this old slave.

So without saying a word, he rushed forward and kicked Nanny Tao hard in the heart.

Gu Yanchao was a military commander, he used almost [-]% of his strength in that kick, and immediately kicked the well-fed Nanny Tao out like a meat ball, watching the old Diao Nu fall to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, Gu Yanchao still felt puzzled, so he shouted Lei Shu, and was about to drag the old slave down and beat him to death with a stick.

At this time, Lin Shi also came up and held Gu Yanxi's hand tightly, watching in surprise that such an unexpected murderer was interrogated.

She has been in charge of the back house all year round, and she is also familiar with Madam Tao. In her impression, although this old lady is a naughty one, she has never made enemies with others; Her daughter poisoned?
After all, Mrs. Lin has been in the house for many years, so she can see through other things at a glance.

Therefore, when she saw her furious son about to drag Nanny Tao down to beat her to death, she first stopped Gu Yanxi and said, "Wait a minute, Chao'er, I still have something to ask this damn slave."

When Gu Yanxi heard her mother say such words, she knew that her mother must have noticed something; she couldn't help but secretly yelled "Hello" in her heart, she really deserves to be her own mother, and she realized so quickly that she and Nanny Tao were just being used It's just a pawn.

Mrs. Lin was in charge of the back residence of the Gu Mansion, and she had accumulated a lot of power in the Gu Mansion for many years. Therefore, when she interrogated Nanny Tao with the aura of being a housewife, that old slave almost lost her courage.

Mrs. Lin called the Nanny Dali beside her to set up Nanny Tao from left to right, and looked coldly at the old godmother who was severely injured by her own son, "You are just a woman in charge of the kitchen, how dare you have the guts to hurt Fuzhong?" Miss Di? Tell me, who told you to do this?"

Tao Nanny knew at the moment her deeds failed, that she was afraid that she was going to be killed this time, but she also knew very well that if Jiang was confessed at this time, even if the third girl would spare her life, she might not be able to do so. There is a way to survive, because Jiang's methods are more ruthless than others imagined.

Seeming to see Tao Nanny's struggle and hesitation, Lin continued: "Do you think that as long as you don't say anything, you will be fine? To tell you the truth, today I must find someone to come out to make an example of others , so that everyone present understands that if you dare to touch the third girl, I will make that person pay a more tragic price. Tao Nanny, you are an old man in the house, and I am willing to give you some face, so I stand I’m here to ask you who instigated you; but if you don’t even want this bit of face, then don’t blame me for not remembering the old love. I will directly regard you as the chief culprit of murdering the third girl and hand it over to the master to punish .”

"No ma'am, this old slave will say anything, and I will tell you whatever you want to know; this old slave will make meritorious deeds, but please don't hand this old slave over to the master for punishment." Dali Temple has a very ruthless method for interrogating prisoners; the third girl is the lifeblood of the master, if she is handed over to the master, I'm afraid she will really die.

Seeing that Nanny Tao was obediently cooperating, Mrs. Lin was also willing to give her a way out, saying: "Okay, if you want to ask for a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious service, I will give it to you; but, I want to see if the truth you have confessed is good enough for you to do it." Negotiate terms with me."

Nanny Tao seemed to have grasped the last straw, she kept nodding her head, and said with a shy face, "Madam, please rest assured, what the old slave explained will definitely satisfy Madam and the third girl."

After saying that, Tao Nanny broke free from the confinement of Grandma Dali, knelt on the ground, and walked in front of Mrs. Lin, "Ma'am, this old servant obeys the orders of the second madam."

Speaking of this, Tao Nanny showed an innocent look of being deceived: "It's just that the old slave was also deceived by the second wife. The second wife told the old slave that the third girl is allergic to hazelnuts, so she gave the old slave a bag of hazelnut powder , asked the old slave to put it in the food for the third girl; the second wife told the old slave that she just wanted to teach the third girl a lesson and vent her anger for the eldest girl, but she didn't expect that what she gave to the old slave turned out to be a packet of arsenic; Madame, the old slave was also deceived by the second madam. She used the old slave and even designed the old slave to be the murderer who murdered the third girl; everything the old slave said is the truth, and I ask the madam to see clearly and don't fall for it. The trick of the second lady, let go of the person who shouldn't be let go."

Gu Yanxi had known for a long time that all of this was planned by Jiang Shi, so she was not too surprised when she heard that Tao Nanny confessed Jiang Shi.

The ones who were really frightened were Mrs. Lin and Gu Yanchao.

Lin's eyes were tightly closed, and she clenched her fists almost with all her strength. She couldn't control her whole body trembling because of anger. It's not hard to believe that if Jiang was in front of her at this moment, she would definitely not hesitate. Shoot her.

"Mother, do you think what this old Diao Nu said is credible?" Gu Yanchao also knew the importance of this matter, so right now, he couldn't make a direct judgment, but asked the mother who managed the back house.

Lin suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes, which are usually gentle like water, were now filled with angry flames. She said in a voice mixed with anger, "I knew Jiang Qin was narrow-minded, but I didn't expect her to be so narrow-minded. It will be so frenzied; how can my wife feel sorry for her, let her fight me against me all these years, and now dare to murder my child?"

"Come here! Go to Hengguang Courtyard and invite our virtuous and modest second wife. I want to see. This time, what kind of explanation will she, Jiang Qin, give me!"

After receiving the order from Mrs. Gu's eldest house, the servants did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly rushed towards Hengguang Courtyard.

At this time, the smarter servants somewhat understood what was going on in this oppressive and treacherous atmosphere. It seemed that an unspeakable event was still going to happen in Gu's residence.
