Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 557 Pushing the buck, Gongyi Kexue was wronged
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, there was a commotion among the people in the dining room, and then they pretended to be calm as if they were afraid of causing the old lady to misunderstand.

The second wife said: "Anyway, the concubine has nothing to do with this matter, and I am not afraid of the old lady's investigation. The old lady will investigate whatever she wants, and the concubine will cooperate."

The old lady looked at the others, and the others nodded to express their willingness to accept the search.

Gongyi Keshuang and Gongyi Kexue were not happy in their hearts, but if they said they didn't want to at this time, maybe the old lady would directly frame them as the ones who did it.

Yingchu was the only one who didn't express her opinion. She asked, "I don't know how grandma wants to check? Could it be that they searched one by one?"

The old lady just wanted to nod, but Yingchu said: "It's just the family members in the house. The two cousins ​​just arrived today, and the grandmother's actions must have attracted the attention of relatives in the clan. People who know know that grandmother has no choice but don't know I thought that grandma was deliberately making things difficult, and it was inevitable that she would fall into the mouth, which is not good."

The old lady is such a face-saving person. When tossing the two sisters during the day, she also used the banner of treating their illnesses, which made it impossible to say anything bad.If this matter is not handled properly now, it is indeed easy to be criticized.She is not in the mood to make things difficult for the two sisters now, she just wants to quickly find out the 3 taels, which is not a small amount for her.

"Then what do you say?" the old lady asked Yingchu.

"Grandmother, let me tell you how the banknote was lost," Yingchu said unhurriedly, "We have to figure out the ins and outs in order to investigate the case, right?"

The old lady said patiently: "The treasurer of the cloth shop just delivered last month's profit and account book in the afternoon. I didn't bother to look at it for a while, so I put it in the box on the table for the time being. I will go to see it in the evening." It was stolen, and the servant girl has been guarding the room all afternoon, and she came out to help after you came, and it was stolen in such a short time!"

"This doesn't mean that one of us stole it." Gongyi Kexue tried her best to suppress her anger, but there was still a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone, "There are so many servants in the yard, maybe the servants' hands and feet are not clean. .”

"Hmph!" The old lady snorted, "The servants around me are carefully taught, and everyone is very loyal! I used to put the bank notes in the box on the table before I read the ledger. It has never been stolen, this is the first time, you say I don't suspect you, who can you suspect?!"

Gongyi Kexue lowered her head and did not refute anymore, her lips were pursed tightly.

The old lady said again: "I wouldn't have doubted you from the beginning. I have already interrogated all the servants and searched their rooms just now, but found nothing! Otherwise, I don't want to tell this. It's not a matter of long faces!"

The second lady said: "From what the old lady said, the thieves may really be among us. But after we came here, none of us left here, only Kewen and Kexue went out."

The old lady immediately looked at Gongyi Kewen and Gongyi Kexue with sharp and cold eyes.

"Grandmother, it's not me!" Gongyi Kewen waved her hands again and again, shaking her head like a rattle, "I just went out to go to the bathroom. Sister Xue can testify that we are together!"

"That's right, the two of us went out together," Gongyi Kexue said, poking his neck, "Sister Wen and I just met today, so we shouldn't join hands to steal the bank notes!"

"But apart from you, no one has gone out before," Gongyi Kelan said hesitantly, "and the time you have been out is not short..."

"What do you mean!" Gongyi Kexue stood up suddenly, "According to this, you are the last one to come, who knows where you went before you came, maybe you stole the bank note first, Then came here!"

Gongyi Kelan turned pale, and hurriedly said, "I didn't! You're talking nonsense!"

"You would have it without me? If you say that on purpose, you have no good intentions!" Gongyi Kexue said angrily.

"Sister!" Gongyi Keshuang scolded in a low voice, "Shut up and sit down for me!"

Gongyi Kexue sat back on her seat indignantly, with an expression of dissatisfaction still on her face.

The old lady said: "But, don't you usually have the most crazy ideas, why don't you talk?"

Yingchu smiled and said, "Haven't they already said it, what else do I need to say?"

"What did they say?" The old lady frowned. She only heard them arguing, but she didn't hear anything useful. Now her heart is full of anger and impatience, and she is even more impatient when she hears Yingchu's tricks, "Don't play charades here. , speak clearly!"

The old lady was not in the mood to analyze, but others understood. The second lady didn't say anything, but Gongyi Hanhan said: "Ke Lan said that Ke Wen and Ke Xue have been out for a long time, but Ke Xue said that it is impossible for them to go out together. Stealing, it's true. The old lady may have overlooked that since they go to the toilet, they can't stay in each other's sight all the time, and it's easy for one of them to leave secretly."

The old lady was startled, Gongyi Kewen and Gongyi Kexue were also stunned, and then Gongyi Kexue yelled: "Yes! We did part ways halfway! I sprained my foot, and Sister Wen told me to stay where I am. She went to call a maid to help me back together. She left for a while before showing up, and I waited because of my foot hurting!"

Gongyi Kexue looked at Gongyi Kewen's eyes and became suspicious. Could it be that Gongyi Kewen did it?If it is true, "You said you are afraid of the dark, and dragged me to go to the bathroom with you, is it premeditated? Do you want me to make a fake certificate for you?"

"Sister Xue, why do you think so!" Gongyi Kewen looked hurt and unbelievable, "Although I left for a while, I did go to find someone. Qiu Ju who helped you back with me can testify! I No room near grandma at all, met her in the yard and returned right away!"

Qiu Ju just waited on the side, nodded when she heard the words: "That's true, the servant saw Miss Thirteen hurriedly coming from the backyard, so she went over to ask what was going on, and heard that Miss Tang had sprained her foot, so she immediately went to see her." I went to the backyard with Miss Thirteen, Miss Thirteen is still far away from the old lady's room."

"Grandmother, Qiu Ju is your maid, so it's impossible to lie for me," Gongyi Kewen said to the old lady, "Grandma knows what kind of temperament my granddaughter is, so if you give her a hundred courage, the granddaughter won't dare to take advantage of her. Even a needle and thread, grandma, please watch over it!"

The old lady also felt that although Gongyi Kewen was careful and thoughtful, she was not very courageous. She should not have the courage to touch such a large amount of 3 taels.

The second lady sneered, and said: "That's not necessarily true, maybe Kewen walked quickly, went to the old lady's room to steal the bank notes, and then turned back to the backyard, pretending to have just returned, and deceived Qiu Ju. After all, Kewen often waits in the old lady's room. She knows more about what is in the old lady's room than others, such as me. I don't know where the old lady's banknotes are on the table. If I want to steal it, I don't know where to go. Steal."

The two sisters, Gongyi Keshuang and Gongyi Kexue, looked at the second lady gratefully, and Gongyi Keshuang said: "Old lady, the second aunt is right, our sisters are new here, and we haven't even figured out which direction the door is. How could it be possible to break into the old lady's room and steal, the person who can do this kind of thing is obviously someone who is very familiar with this place."

The old lady frowned, it was not unreasonable to say that, she really couldn't tell who was real and who was fake.

"You, you..." Gongyi Kewen looked at the two sisters with red eyes, and said sadly, "I didn't doubt you at all, but you targeted me in order to get rid of the crime. How could you do this?"

Gongyi Keshuang had no expression on her face, but Gongyi Kexue rolled her eyes uncomfortably. In her heart, she didn't know if the thief was Gongyi Kewen, but now only the two of them were the most suspected, and she had never done anything. , so I can only push the matter to Gongyi Kewen. It is better for others to be wronged than to be wronged myself.

Gongyi Kewen seemed to have been heartbroken, her face became determined, and she said: "It's fine if others say they don't know, but you were at grandma's place in the afternoon, and you were there when the shopkeeper came to deliver the bank notes and account books." Rest in the wing room, you may have seen the place where the banknotes are placed! And I also know that you just received the auction invitation from the fourth sister, and you are desperately in need of silver, so you are very likely to take the risk and steal your grandmother's banknotes If grandma doesn’t find out that the bank note is missing tonight, after you take it away, it can be said that it was given by your family, and no one can take it from you!”

She glanced at Gongyi Kexue's feet, and said sarcastically: "You insist on refusing to see the doctor, but your feet are not sprained at all, right? You deliberately dismissed me and took the opportunity to sneak into grandma's room to steal! I'm sorry I am so worried about you, you not only use me, but also frame me, I really misjudged you!"

What Gongyi Kewen said was so clear and well-founded that everyone almost believed it. Gongyi Kexue was dumbfounded. If she was not the person involved, she would almost believe it.

"You, I really didn't see that you are so good at making up stories!" Gongyi Kexue pointed at her angrily, her face turned green, and she said a little unscrupulously, "Sure enough, a concubine is a concubine, and her heart is born to be a concubine." Black! You..."

Gongyi Keshuang stepped on her under the table and stopped her from speaking. The younger sister was too impulsive. At this time, she was swearing at others, didn't it make her feel guilty!What a fool!

Gongyi Kewen burst into tears, looked at the old lady and said, "Grandmother, listen to her, even if I was born as a concubine, my grandmother agreed to adopt my mother's name, so she just insulted me and questioned my grandmother's integrity." Decide."

Now the old lady has completely believed in Gongyi Kewen's words, she stabbed Gongyi Kexue with her eyes like knives, and said sharply: "It's against you! With your virtue, you still want to enter the palace for selection? The palace is also for the family! I will submit your despicable behavior to the palace tomorrow and cancel your selection qualification!"

"I won't allow it!" Gongyi Kexue was about to explode immediately, "Why do you disqualify me from being selected? This matter has nothing to do with me, but you gang up to wrong me! I know, there is no such thing as theft. Is it right? Everything is made up by you. You just want to drive me and my sister away, so that no one will compete with your granddaughter! What you think is so beautiful, I will not let you do what you want! The big deal is to If you make a big fuss, everyone will die!"
