Seeing each other happily: beautiful men can't be provoked

Chapter 172

Leng Yu'er nodded, but still seemed a little frustrated.

Mu Xue watched him leave gently, and her face became more and more gloomy. It seemed that if she wanted to investigate, she had to start from the jar of "salt".

She hurried to the kitchen, hoping to find clues, although she believed that even a fool knew that "destroying corpses means eradicating traces."

Sure enough, not to mention the salt in the kitchen, I couldn't even find the bottles and jars.

To Mu Xue's surprise, it was neither Xiao Shuyun nor Leng Yuer who cleaned the kitchen, but Tian Butler himself.

However, this is the habit of Steward Tian for many years. Every five days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he cleans the kitchen himself.

In the past, she took care of Ying Ningshuang's daily life and took care of everything by herself, but after she arrived at the county prince's mansion, as she got older, Ying Ningshuang felt sorry for her, so she ordered her to clean up the kitchen only symbolically, and turned into a symbolic habit.

Ying Ningshuang, in order to show her respect for her nurturing aunt who has been with him all the time, ordered the county palace not to stir up fire on this day, and to eat the food and drinks bought from the restaurant.

However, it was precisely because Steward Tian cleaned up the kitchen that she was convinced that it was not Steward Tian who did it.

For one thing, only thieves call out to catch thieves, and no one will shoot themselves in the foot.Secondly, if Steward Tian wants to make things difficult for her, there are many ways to do it, there is no need to be so lame.

Looking at the bright and shining kitchen, Mu Xue sighed. With Steward Tian's serious and meticulous attitude, she believed that there would be no clues.

"Miss, are you looking for this?" Steward Tian appeared at the door of the kitchen just in time, holding a small pot in his hand.The expression is half a smile.

Mu Xue followed her hand and looked at the jar, which seemed to contain some kitchen supplies, fine powder, strange color...

"Where did you come from?" Mu Xue looked at Butler Tian suspiciously, it seemed that she still underestimated this auntie.

"The old slave took it from a younger generation when he was cleaning the kitchen." Tian Butler said vaguely, and it seemed that he was not interested in saying anything more.

Mu Xue knew that if she wanted to know what she wanted to know from this old slave, she had to gain her trust first. Besides, she believed that the steward Tian must have known about her being unconscious, otherwise she wouldn't What a coincidence to give her this bottle.

She simply told Steward Tian all the ins and outs of this matter, but concealed the fact that Xiao Shuyun told Leng Yu'er not to say anything.

As expected, Steward Tian listened to Mu Xue's words, his expression changed a few times, he bowed respectfully to Mu Xue, and then told how he got the bottle. "Miss, forgive me, this old servant has no intention of concealing it. When this old servant came to clean up the kitchen as usual, he did see a masked woman rummaging in the kitchen. It was the salt shaker I got from her."

"How does Aunt Tian know that she is a woman?" Mu Xue found that most of the women in Puyu Country are tall, strong and flat-chested, and there are only a few of them with a well-proportioned figure like her.

"This... the old servant slapped her on the chest, causing her to escape." Tian Steward said honestly.

Mu Xue nodded slightly, and then said to Steward Tian, ​​"Aunt Tian, ​​I'm afraid this matter needs to be investigated. Since the woman needs to be searched, it is enough to see that she is not familiar with the county palace, and she may not be the person who poisoned her." , should be just an accomplice."

Steward Tian nodded slightly, "Miss is right. The old slave has already sent someone to investigate. The woman is not strong in martial arts and was injured by the old slave. She should not run far."

A flash of appreciation flashed in Mu Xue's heart, this housekeeper was indeed a thoughtful person, he tracked down calmly, neither alarmed the people in the house, made people panic, nor alarmed the snake.
