Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 558 Shoe prints, twists and turns

The old lady was so angry that she almost fell on her back. Even the most irritating fourth girl had never spoken to her in such a tone. How dare a wild girl running outside dare to be so rude!
"It's against you! It's against you!" The old lady's face trembled angrily, "You uneducated stinky girl, today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents, and then I will open you to the ancestral hall for interrogation and arrest you. Drive out of the Gongyi family! You are not worthy to be a descendant of the Gongyi family!"

When this happened, Yingchu could no longer just stand by and watch, "Grandmother, calm down first. Sister Xue was just saying something impulsively, she didn't intend to offend, the matter of stealing..."

However, before she finished speaking, Gongyi Kexue pointed her finger at her again: "You don't need to pretend to be a good person here! I just said how could you send invitations to us so kindly? It turned out to be a trick for us. Use this to accuse me of stealing! All of you are working together, no one is good!"

Anyway, she had already pissed off the old lady, and she wasn't afraid to offend another person, so she didn't care about Gongyi Keshuang almost strangled her thigh, just trying to vent her anger.

Gongyi Keshuang was angry and helpless, and of course she was also angry when her younger sister was wronged, but losing her temper and speaking harshly would not solve the problem, it would only make the situation worse.But the younger sister was too impulsive and didn't listen to her at all. Even if they were reasonable, they became unreasonable now, not to mention the situation was not good for them.

Instead of being angry, Yingchu laughed. This Gongyi Kexue looks like a gentle and gentle beauty on the surface, but her personality is so explosive and impulsive. She is probably used to being pampered at home. She has never suffered any setbacks and can't bear it. Wronged.

"Who said I framed you for stealing? I didn't accuse you of anything." Yingchu said.

Gongyi Kexue was taken aback for a moment, looked at her in surprise, and then seemed to want to say something unpleasant, but this time Gongyi Keshuang stopped her in time.

Gongyi Keshuang asked tentatively: "Your sister Ke Yun means to believe that Xue'er is innocent?"

Yingchu didn't answer, just said: "I want to ask Sister Xue, where did you sprain your foot in the backyard? I saw a little dirt on the edge of your shoes. The road to the hut is covered with blue stones. How did you get dirt on it?" ?”

Gongyi Kexue looked down at her shoes, Yingchu didn't say she didn't notice, "I was talking to Gongyi Kewen at the time, I was not familiar with the road, and Gongyi Kewen didn't notice when I turned the corner. Remind me, I stepped on the edge of the bluestone road, and then slid on the roadside soil, so I sprained my foot, and the mud should be on the roadside."

Yingchu got up, walked from the dining table to the door, and then came back, pointing to the faint footprints on the ground and said: "These are sister Xue's shoe prints, although they are very faint, you can still see that the door is slightly obvious One point, if I ask the servants to look along the road now, they should be able to find sister Xue's shoe prints on the road, and it will be clear at a glance where sister Xue has been."

Gongyi Kexue's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Yes! Why didn't I think of that! You can look for shoe prints and see if I have been to the old lady's room!"

Gongyi Kewen's eyes flickered, and said: "The shoe prints can also be forged, maybe she changed another pair of shoes and went to grandma's room."

Yingchu said: "Then send someone to search the yard. If they can find the so-called other pair of shoes, then the case will be solved."

Gongyi Kexue stared at Gongyi Kewen bitterly, and said: "You really think, how can I know that my shoes will step on the mud, and bring an extra pair of shoes in advance? If you have the ability, go find me. shoes, I'm stealing!"

The corner of Gongyi Kewen's mouth twitched, and she reluctantly said: "I'm just guessing, after all, it's not impossible."

The old lady ordered her servants: "As Ke Yan said, you guys bring more lanterns and watch them carefully for me! Not only pay attention to footprints, but also search to see if there are any shoes!"

Obviously, the old lady still trusts Gongyi Kewen more, and still thinks that Gongyi Kexue is more likely to steal.

Gongyi Kexue curled her lips sarcastically, and when the results were found out, the old witch would know how blind she was, and was tricked by a stinky girl pretending to be a little white flower!

A group of maidservants went out with lanterns, searched the whole yard, and finally came back and reported: "Old lady, I didn't find any suspicious shoes, and the prints of the shoes are unclear in a few places, but only from here to the hut There are shoe prints on the road, but there are no other roads."

"This can prove my innocence!" Gongyi Kexue raised her chin and snorted coldly.

The old lady's complexion was not good. After all, just now she accused Gongyi Kexue of being a thief and said that she would be disqualified from being selected. Now it was as if someone had slapped her in the face.

"Who the hell is that thief?" The old lady glared at Yingchu angrily. The matter was already about to be settled, but this damn girl wanted to waste her time, "Since you said she is not a thief, then find me the real thief." come out!"

"Isn't this already obvious?" Gongyi Kexue sneered again and again, "If it's not me, then of course it's Gongyi Kewen! She mentioned the auction and said that I stole because I was short of money. I think she must also want to Participating in the auction, but how much money can a concubine have, so she put her mind on the old lady, and even pretended to make me a scapegoat!"

Gongyi Kewen's fingers hidden in her sleeves twitched, trying not to change her color. She said to herself, "I'm not a thief, I'm not a thief." After repeating this several times, her rapidly beating heart gradually calmed down.

"Grandmother, don't listen to her nonsense!" Gongyi Kewen said calmly, "I don't even have an invitation for the auction, how can I participate in the auction, let alone steal money because of it. If grandma doesn't believe it, you can search If I can find the bank notes on my body, even if my granddaughter dies, she will have no complaints!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Gongyi Kexue, and said, "Shoe prints can be forged. I don't think the inspection just now can fully prove your innocence. If you have a clear conscience, do you dare to search like me?"

Although Gongyi Kexue is impulsive, she is not stupid. Since Gongyi Kewen intends to plot against her, she might plant the blame on her. Of course, she refuses to accept the body search.

"Now you are the one who is suspected, why should I search you with you?" Gongyi Kexue said, "Don't pretend to be upright, you stole the banknote for fear of being discovered, so of course you dare not hide it on your body , must be hidden somewhere first, and then retrieved later.”

"If you want to add a crime, there is no excuse. If you say that, then I will not be able to get rid of the crime!" Gongyi Kewen said angrily, "At least I am willing to do a body search, but you don't even dare to do a body search, you are obviously guilty! "

Gongyi Kexue said disdainfully: "If the body search fails, do you still want to search my room? I have already proved my innocence, but you still keep biting me, you have ulterior motives at all!"

Yingchu said: "Okay, stop arguing, the thief is not Sister Xue, and it may not be Sister Shisan, maybe that person is not among us at all. Everyone calm down first, why not talk about it after eating, anyway The yard is also blocked, and the banknotes cannot escape, maybe the thieves will get anxious after a while, and they will appear by themselves."

"Yeah, the food is almost getting cold," Gongyi Hanhan said with a smile, "Today is for Ke Shuang Kexue to clean up the dust, and they almost suffered a grievance, so we can't even let them eat well. Let’s start the meal first, and we’ll talk about everything after the meal.”

The old lady was in a hurry, so she didn't have time to eat. It's good that she didn't lift the table.But looking at Yingchu's smiling face, she seemed to have some deep meaning, she hesitated for a moment, and said with a dark face: "Then let's eat!"

The maids hurried forward and lifted the lids on the plates, and several other maids brought lemonade and asked the masters to wash their hands.

Gongyi Kewen's gaze flashed, and she quietly tripped over the maid who was serving Gongyi Kexue. The maid let out a cry of surprise, her body tilted, and half of the lemonade was spilled on Gongyi Kexue's body.

Gongyi Kexue jumped up immediately, she was suffocating in her heart, but now she was even angrier: "You girl, you are so clumsy!"

The servant girl hurriedly took the veil to wipe it for her, and apologized: "Miss Tang, please forgive me! Miss Tang, forgive me! This servant didn't do it on purpose, please wipe it for you!"

"Go away! Stay away from me!" Gongyi Kexue pushed her away, holding her skirt angrily.

At this moment, a piece of half-dry and half-wet paper floated out from her waistband, whirled and fell to the ground.

The color of the paper was different from ordinary white paper, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention. The old lady stood up suddenly, staring at her eyes and said, "Pick it up and see if it's a bank note?!"

A maid who was nearby quickly picked up the paper, took a closer look, and her face changed drastically: "Old lady, it's a silver ticket! It's a 1 taels of silver ticket!"

The old lady took the banknote and looked at it carefully. She was both happy and angry and said, "This is the banknote I lost! There is also the imprint of the cloth shop on it, okay! The thief is really you. It seems that I am really serious." I didn't wrong you!" She said, her gaze shot at Gongyi Kexue like an arrow.

Gongyi Kexue realized something was wrong when she dropped something on her body, and she shouted angrily: "It's not me! It must be Gongyi Kewen who planted it on me! She helped me walk all the way back, and took the bank note I can't even notice it on me!"

Gongyi Keshuang saw that the situation that had turned for the better was reversed, and she was also angry and anxious, and said, "It was definitely not Xueer who stole it! Think about it, everyone, if Xueer really stole it, she would be so foolish as to take the banknote." Hiding it on your body? Shaking out the banknotes in public, this is obviously a frame-up!"

"It has been stolen and stolen, and you still want to deny it!" Gongyi Kewen said, "I have no grievances with you, why should I steal grandma's bank note to frame you? Gongyi Kexue, why don't you give the bank note away?" Hand it all over, confess your mistake to grandma, and beg grandma to forgive her!"

The old lady put the half-wet banknotes on the table to dry in distress, glared at Gongyi Kexue and said, "What about the remaining 2 taels? Where did you hide it? Hurry up and hand it over! If you dare to quibble again, don't worry about it." Blame me for being rude to you!"
