Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 556 Sprained ankle, 3 taels stolen
Everyone entered the yard and went to see the old lady first, and the nanny sent a message to them to go directly to the dining room to wait, and they moved to the dining room.

In the dining room, Gongyi Kewen has arrived, and is helping the maids to prepare vegetables. She is very good at buying people's hearts, and often helps the servants to do small things, so she is very popular with the servants. Everyone smiles when they see her.

Seeing everyone coming in, she quickly wiped her hands and came up to greet them one by one.Seeing the gloomy expression on the second wife's face, she said courteously: "Second Aunt has just recovered from a serious illness, please sit down and rest, I'll ask someone to serve Second Aunt a cup of ginseng tea."

They had a falling out in Yin Yuanyuan that day, and the second wife left her alone.After she came back, Gongyi Kewen acted as if nothing had happened, she was still courteous and courteous to her, and she didn't seem to notice that she was cold-eyed by the second wife several times.

"No, I won't drink." The second lady said coldly, and sat down on the chair. She waved to the two sisters, Gongyi Keshuang, "Shuang girl, Xue girl, come sit beside me."

Gongyi Keshuang said politely: "The little aunt and sister Ke Yung should sit first."

The second lady said unhappily: "You are guests, why give up your seat to them!"

Gongyi Keshuang smiled, and waited until Yingchu and Gongyi Hanhan were seated before going to the second lady and sitting down.

Gongyi Kewen sat down at the last table without seeming to care, and said with a smile: "Sister Shuang, Sister Xue, today is a small banquet hosted by grandma to welcome you, and only our female relatives will have a meal together. They're all here, let's hold a family banquet together, and the whole family will get together."

The two sisters naturally said something to thank the old lady, and said: "We sisters bothered the old lady to hold a dinner alone, and I feel really sorry. In fact, when the other sisters come, we can just have a gathering together."

"This is grandma's wish, the two cousins ​​don't need to be embarrassed," Gongyi Kewen said, "Grandma still feels that she owes you by keeping you waiting outside today, so you should eat more tonight. "

They talked politely for a while, Gongyi Kewen said embarrassedly: "I want to go out for the convenience, it's too dark outside, I wonder if any sister can accompany me?"

Gongyi Kexue stood up and said, "It happens that I want to go too, let's go together."

The two went out for a while before returning. Gongyi Kewen helped the limping Gongyi Kexue and slowly moved in.

"What's the matter?" The second lady was surprised, "What's the matter with Xue girl's feet?"

"It was too dark, I didn't see the road clearly, I accidentally sprained my foot, but it's okay, it will be fine in a while." Gongyi Kexue said.

"It's all my fault," Gongyi Kewen said guiltily, "If I hadn't asked Sister Xue to accompany me, Sister Xue wouldn't have sprained her ankle."

The second lady said displeasedly: "You are really too. If you are afraid of the dark, let the servant girl carry a lantern to accompany you, and you have to drag the girl Xue to go with you. Isn't it just looking for trouble!"

"Sister Wen didn't do it on purpose, no one thought it would happen," Gongyi Keshuang smoothed things over, "Xue'er has been careless since she was a child, and she has been injured constantly, and she can only blame herself for being careless."

Gongyi Kewen glanced at the sisters gratefully, and said, "Why don't you invite a doctor to take a look?"

"No need, no need," Gongyi Kexue quickly refused, she is really afraid of the doctor now, who knows what kind of medicine the old lady will ask the doctor to prescribe for her after inviting the doctor, "I'm really fine, I can move freely Yes, the sprain hurts a bit, it will heal after a while, there is no need to call a doctor, besides it is inconvenient so late, it will not be good to spoil the old lady's interest later. "

As she spoke, she moved her ankle, showing that she was really fine.

The second lady said: "Okay then, if it's not good to wait for a while, or if you feel something is wrong, you must speak up."

"Well, I will." Gongyi Kexue nodded.

Gongyi Kelan also arrived just now, introduced each other with Gongyi Kexue, several people sat down again, the old lady finally came over when the food was getting cold.

The old lady's complexion was very ugly. After entering, she glanced at everyone with a strong scrutiny, which made everyone feel a little confused.

Gongyi Kewen came over to help the old lady sit down, and said, "Grandmother, the dishes are cold, do you want someone to warm them up?"

"What's hot? You can't eat cold ones? They're all more delicate than an old woman like me!" The old lady said angrily as soon as she uttered it.

Gongyi Kewen flinched, and said awkwardly: "The granddaughter serves the old lady for dinner."

"Don't eat!" The old lady said coldly, "I'm already full, what else do I want to eat!"

Gongyi Kewen showed a bewildered expression, and looked at Yingchu for help.

Yingchu glanced at the others, including the second wife, who were all watching, no one dared to speak.Yingchu didn't bother to meddle, but she didn't want to be angered by the old lady here for no reason.

"The two cousins ​​are here today, you should be happy, what happened to grandma, why are you so angry?" Yingchu said.

"What's the matter?" The old lady slapped the table angrily, "A thief came out of the mansion today and stole all my 3 taels of silver notes at once! This kind of thing has never happened before. Whoever I catch, see if I don't skin her!"

The old lady scolded, her sharp eyes swept everyone around, especially the faces of Gongyi Keshuang and Gongyi Kexue stayed the longest.There had never been any theft in her yard, and they were the only outsiders who came today, so she was naturally the most suspicious of them.But she also has doubts about other people. After all, 3 taels of silver cannot guarantee that other people will not be tempted.

Sensing the particularly unfriendly eyes of the old lady, both Gongyi Keshuang and Gongyi Kexue were very angry. This old witch actually suspected them, who did they take them for? !Unless their brains are broken, they will steal things as soon as they enter the mansion!
The faces of the others also became ugly. The old lady lost money in the yard, so she should ask the servants in the yard, why do you doubt them for no reason!
The second lady frowned and said: "Old lady, my concubine has been recuperating in her room these days. I just came to the old lady's place tonight. I have been sitting here and never went out. The money I lost has nothing to do with my concubine."

Gongyi Kelan also quickly said: "Grandmother, I didn't go out all day today. I just came here and didn't have time to have a cup of tea. This matter has nothing to do with me!"

"I didn't say that I have anything to do with you. It's just that everyone who came to this yard today is suspected. For the sake of fairness, everyone must investigate!" The theft of 3 taels, even if only three copper coins are lost, is absolutely unacceptable! I will never give up if I don’t investigate today and find out the truth!”
