business lady

Chapter 79
This investigation found Wan Yingjiao's head. It turned out that Qiuye, the maid next to Wan Yingjiao, had gone to the kitchen to get pastries and had a conversation with Yan'er. Apart from her, only the maid beside Chu Ge had been there. The kitchen, but Xia Zhi told her that Chu Ge is from her own, and she is from the intelligence camp!
Jiu Yuan was surprised, saying that he spent money to buy Chu Ge into the palace, didn't he ruin his secret game, and felt a little bit ashamed in his heart!

Now that he knew the direction, Jiu Yuan took people to Qinghe Zhai, and Xia Zhi also went with her. Although she said to let her deal with it, Wan Yingjiao had the support of the Duke Huguo's mansion behind her. It's a disadvantage, following the past can be regarded as suppressing the field for her!
In Qinghe Zhai, Wan Yingjiao seemed to know that they would come, she was sitting at the table, when she saw Xia Zhi Jiuyuan coming in, she stood up and saluted them: "I have seen the prince and concubine before! It would be disrespectful to come to my place and fail to welcome you from far away!"

After Xia Zhi and Jiuyuan sat down together, Jiuyuan looked at her and said: "Yingjiao, don't be too polite, get up!"

After Wan Yingjiao thanked En and got up, she heard Jiuyuan say with deep meaning: "Yesterday someone put medicine in my concubine's soup cup. I don't know if Yingjiao has heard of it!"

She heard her hands hidden in her sleeves tremble slightly, then squeezed her fingers tightly, and said without changing her face: "I have been practicing poetry in the room for the past few days, I really haven't heard of it!"

"Really! Bring him up!" The last sentence was for Xia Jian who came over together!

Then Xia Jian made a gesture at the door, and two guards from the palace escorted a woman with disheveled hair in. Her clothes were stained with blood, but it could still be seen that they were the clothes of the maids of the palace.

"Do you know this woman?" Jiu Yuan looked into her eyes and said calmly.

After Wan Yingjiao turned her head to look carefully, she replied, "This person is Qiu Ye, my second-class maid. I don't know what crime she committed?"

"According to the investigation, she went into the kitchen to prescribe the medicine yesterday, and she also confessed that you ordered her to do it! Can you plead guilty?" Jiu Yuan reprimanded sharply.

"I didn't do it, how can I plead guilty!" Wan Yingjiao replied, and then said: "I am willing to confront her and see why she framed me!"

"Okay! My concubine allows you to confront me, and you repeat what you confessed yesterday!" The last sentence was addressed to Qiu Ye.

Wan Yingjiao looked at Qiuye with a sullen face and said, "You'd better think it through before you speak, some things can't be said indiscriminately!"

Qiu Ye was startled when she heard it, and immediately woke up. She let go yesterday because she couldn't bear it anymore. Now that she heard what Wan Yingjiao said, it was like a blow to her head. She is a member of the Wan family. In Wanfu, whatever I say now is a dead end, but I always have to leave a way for my family to survive!

So he opened his mouth and said: "This matter was done by the servant alone, and has nothing to do with the side concubine!"

Jiu Yuan didn't expect her to change her words temporarily, looked at her in surprise, frowned slightly and said, "That's not what you said last night, why are there different confessions, which one is true and which one is false?"

"Because I was too scared before, I talked nonsense for a while, this is what I did alone!" Qiu Ye insisted.

Jiu Yuan reprimanded loudly: "It's nonsense! This medicine is Shen Li, and it's rare to get a thousand gold. Let me ask you, a little maid, who only pays a few taels of silver a month. How did you get it? You didn't recruit it honestly!"

"This. This is..." Qiuye hesitated and couldn't speak.

"As long as you tell who the real culprit is, I can spare you!" Jiu Yuan threw out the bait and said, the so-called people are not for themselves, heaven and earth will perish!

Qiu Ye lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was thinking about Jiu Yuan's words!

Wan Yingjiao's nanny who was standing by the side suddenly stood up, knelt down on the ground and said, "The prince and concubine don't need to be interrogated, all this is done by the old slave! It was the old slave who ordered her to poison the soup used by the princess!"

Wan Yingjiao didn't expect that she would stand up and plead guilty for herself, and she shouted in surprise: "Nurse!"

Seeing that she stood up to take the blame for Wan Yingjiao, Jiu Yuan knew that Wan Yingjiao had escaped this time, so he asked, "You said you did it, but what evidence do you have?"

I only heard her say: "This old slave has long disliked you. If it weren't for you, the concubine Duan Wangzheng would be my lady. If it weren't for you, the prince would not come to Qinghezhai, and my lady would not cry every day." , I see it in my eyes, I am not angry in my heart, thinking that everything will be fine without you, so I will let someone poison you!" At this point, he looked at Jiu Yuan with a sinister look, and said: "I didn't poison you! What a pity to die!"

Xia Zhi had been sitting in the hall without speaking, leaving Jiu Yuan to deal with it. Hearing her cursing Jiu Yuan like this, he immediately reprimanded: "Shut up! Someone pull this evil slave down and stick him to death!"

Wan Ying immediately knelt on the ground in fright, and begged: "I beg your lord to be merciful! The nanny is also confused for a while, please see that I have served you, please spare her life!" At the end, there were tears According to the next!

Xia Zhi raised his brows and said angrily: "Someone has banned Qinghe Zhai, no one can come in or out! There are no masters, no slaves! You think you are not at fault! I will inform the Duke Protector of this matter , What a good daughter he taught! You know yourself!" After speaking, he hummed heavily and walked away!

Jiu Yuan followed behind him, shaking his head and sighing in disappointment, and went out!

Wan Yingjiao, who was left kneeling on the ground, slumped to the ground in despair, crying softly at first, and then howling loudly!
She hates it in her heart!Although she feels wronged by marrying Xia Zhi as a side concubine, she still loves him sincerely, otherwise she wouldn't have disregarded her father's order and never harmed him!
Xia Zhi has always been cold and cold, and she also thought it was due to Xia Zhi's temperament, but that day when she saw him smiling gently at Shang Jiuyuan by the lake, with the hairpin beside him, she realized that he was also soft-spoken. The language side is just like why is it that good-for-nothing Shang Jiuyuan!
She resented in her heart, thinking that if there was no such person as Shang Jiuyuan in this world, nothing would happen!So she gave Shang Jiuyuan the medicine her father gave her, and she wanted her to disappear from this world!
But why?Why didn't she drink it down!As soon as she dies it's over!
Jiu Yuan came out of Qinghe Zhai, quickened his pace to catch up with Xia Zhi, looked at his calm face, and said with a smile: "Okay, you're really angry! I'm fine!"

Seeing that he was still sullen and silent, he said again: "It's fine now, Wan Yingjiao won't be able to come out to make trouble in the future, we can also use this matter to protect the Duke's Mansion tightly!"

Xia Zhi stopped, looked at her and said seriously: "I have wronged you and failed to punish the culprit directly! Do you blame me!"

Jiu Yuan said softly: "Didn't you say it! This is very good!" They all knew that as long as the Duke Protector's Mansion is still there, even if it is really found out that Wan Yingjiao did it, they cannot just dispose of it casually!
