Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 40 Defection
"Other evidence?" Not only Jiang Shi was stunned, but Mengyu was also stunned.

"Ma'am, you have to trust the servant girl. At that time, only the servant girl and Qingtong were present. After the servant girl was knocked out by Qingtong, if Qingtong did something to frame the servant girl again, the servant girl would be completely speechless!" Mengyu cried.

"Who said that only you and Qingtong were present?" Lu Xinyan smiled faintly, "Qingtong, tell everyone, who else was present at that time?"

"There is also Caiqing who is next to the second lady." Qingtong took two steps forward, "When the lady ordered me to clean Xiaohe's clothes, I remembered that Caiqing's foot was injured, and resting alone in the carriage must be very boring, so I I went up to her and had a brief chat with her, and when I was leaving, I saw Mengyu sneaking up to Miss's carriage, I shouted and asked, her complexion changed drastically and she attacked me, I couldn't control my strength for a while, and knocked her out Later, when I checked the carriage, I found that the drug hidden under the seat, and a night pearl on the table that the lady often played with were missing, and it was later found on Mengyu."

"You knocked me out at the time, you can make it up any way you want!" Mengyu cried out.

Jiang asked: "Then why did you show up at the Zhuzhu carriage?"

"Returning to Madam, this servant knows that Young Madam is extravagant, so she wanted to see the furnishings in Young Madam's carriage. She couldn't hold back her curiosity for a while, and this gave others a chance to slander her!"

"Then what about the night pearl on your body?"

Mengyu categorically denied it, "Go back to Madam, I don't know."

"You don't know? After I knocked you out, just in case, I didn't immediately check the carriage to search you, but invited Caiqing to join me! Caiqing and I found the drug from the carriage together Ye Mingzhu was also searched from you by us together! So you still want to say that I slandered you?" Qingtong glared, her aura was super strong because of her martial arts practice, and now she was so scared that she dreamed Jade is as silent as a chilling cicada.

Seeing this situation, the servants began to discuss in low voices.

"Did Mengyu really do it? I thought it was the young lady just now."

"Did you say it was...instructed?"

In front of her, Miss San dared not say a few words, only vaguely mentioned them.

"I can't, I'm all dizzy..."

Nanny Zhou glanced over, and everyone fell silent.

Everyone had abnormal expressions on their faces, only Jiang's expression showed no emotion, "Caiqing, tell me, is what Qingtong said true?"

Caiqing came out limping, and knelt in front of Jiang, "Return to Ma'am, I accidentally sprained my foot, and I got the sympathy of the second lady, and let the servant rest in the car. When the servant was sleepy, someone Call the maidservant's name, ask the maidservant how the foot injury is, do you need her to check and massage the maidservant, and the maidservant lifts the curtain to see that it is Sister Qingtong next to the Young Madam."

Caiqing paused, "I don't want to bother people, and I think I'm about to go back home, so I said no, and after chatting with Sister Qingtong, Sister Qingtong left. As for the following things..."

Caiqing suddenly turned around, faced Qingtong, and solemnly kowtowed, "Sister Qingtong, I know you sincerely asked about my foot injury, and you also sincerely wanted to relieve my pain, but it's all about the same thing, I appreciate you Good intentions, but I can't do or say anything against my conscience!"

She raised her lowered head suddenly, and said loudly, "Ma'am, after sister Qingtong left, the servant girl continued to lie down and rest because of her foot injury. As for what sister Qingtong said just now, check the carriage with her and search In Mengyu's body, this servant has never done this at all!"

The twists and turns of the plot made all the servants dumbfounded, including Gu's and Lian's, who looked at Lu Xinyan with a strange look!

"Isn't it? It's actually Qingtong who is lying. I saw her words are convincing, and I really thought what she said was true. It was... let Mengyu do it!"

"I didn't expect the young lady to be such a person! Because of the lady and the son, the anger was implicated on the ladies."

"But didn't Qingtong say that she found the drug? If she was lying, why did she put the drug in her carriage?"

"Maybe when I wanted to transfer, I met Mengyu and made her a scapegoat."

"It seems reasonable for you to say that, but where did the drug come from?"

"Did you forget that Baizhi is good at medicine, even the old lady can be cured, so it's not easy to prepare a drug for the ecstasy?"

No one stopped them, and the subordinates talked more and more, and their voices became louder and louder.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Jiang's mouth, "Zhuzhu, Caiqing has already denied it, what else do you have to say?"

Lu Xinyan really didn't expect that Cai Qing would turn against him temporarily.

The evidence that was left on purpose turned out to be a sharp blade for the opponent.

This Jiang family is much more shrewd and decisive than she imagined!
He didn't even care about finding the real culprit for Gong Yu, secretly instructing Cai Qing to beat her down and push the crime of drugging on her!He wanted to use this to divorce her and seize her dowry!

"Madam, even if what Caiqing said is true, at most Qingtong and Mengyu have no witnesses, and each insists on their own words. Why do you insist that Qingtong is lying?"

"Because you have a motive, and Angelica dahurica prescribes the medicine for you, you can easily get the medicine, but Mengyu has no motive, and neither has the chance to get the medicine. Without the medicine, how do you prescribe it?"

"Ma'am, what do you mean, if Mengyu has a chance to get the drug, then there is a possibility of drugging?"

Jiang was rebelled by her, so he had to say: "I can't say that there must be, but at least there will be more suspicions!"

"Then Madam, invite Banyan who is beside Aunt Qin!"

"What's the matter with the half smoke?"

"Mengyu hasn't been out of the mansion recently, and Banyan has been out of the mansion often these days!"

Aunt Qin is Gong Rou's biological mother, and Ban Yan is Aunt Qin's maid. If Ban Yan buys the drug and gives it to Meng Yu beside Gong Rou, it is not impossible!
Gong Rou was so angry that her voice choked up, "Sister-in-law, you just want to harm me, why did you bring my aunt into it? She lives in the Qiushui courtyard, lives in seclusion, does not fight or grab, and is dedicated to praying for grandma and madam, how can she be so harmful? What's in her mind? And it still hurts me, what good does it do her?"

"Third sister, what's the truth of the matter, don't you know if you call Banyan over to ask about it? Why do you rush to defend yourself, wait until you have time to defend yourself!"

Lu Xinyan glanced at Gong Rou with a half-smile. Gong Rou, who was originally filled with righteous indignation, was swept away by that insightful gaze, and trembled all over, her throat seemed to be choked, unable to make a sound.

Jiang said: "Okay, as you wish, Chuntao, go call Banyan!"

Soon, half smoke came, and Aunt Qin who was coughing softly.

"My concubine (servant) has seen my wife!" The two saluted.

"Sister, you don't need to be polite, sit down." Jiang frowned, "You are not in good health, you can just rest in Qiushuiyuan, why come out and suffer this?"

"Thank you, ma'am." Aunt Qin sat down with Banyan's support, and smiled weakly: "I heard that Madam called Banyan to come, and it has something to do with the young lady, the second lady and the third lady. I was worried, so I came to see Look."

"Banyan, tell me honestly, have you gone out to buy medicine recently?"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"So, it's really the dream jade you bought and handed over to you?" Jiang raised her voice sharply, "Say, who ordered you? What's the purpose?"

"Ma'am, what kind of drug is it? This servant can't understand!" Banyan plopped on the ground, "That medicine was caught by Bai Zhi, who is next to Young Madam, for this servant to grab!"
