Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 70

Soon after, Mother Zhao came over. After entering the door, she greeted the old lady first, and then greeted Shen Ruyi. Whether intentionally or not, she left out the Second Mrs. Shen who was next to her. Shen Ruyi also specially observed the expression of the Second Mrs. Shen , is completely the same as before, still smiling.

"The madam valued the old slave, and specially handed over the matter of decocting the medicine to the old slave. Even if the old slave died, he had to keep this bowl of medicine for the madam. From the stove for decocting medicine to the casserole for decocting medicine, the old slave had to bring it himself every day. Go back, and then bring it back the next day, the water for decocting medicine is the well water that the old slave went to fetch himself, so there is nothing wrong with it."

Zhao Momo knelt in front of the old lady, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Later, this little girl went to ask for the anti-fetal medicine, and it happened that the medicine was boiled, and the effect of the medicine should not be good after leaving it for a while, so the old servant sent someone to ask about it." Nanny Chen, Nanny Chen said that Madam is in good spirits today, and she doesn’t need the medicine, so the old servant asked the little maid to pour the medicine away. I dare to swear, there is no problem at all before the medicine is poured away Yes, just in time, I didn’t have time to wash the casserole that I used to decoct the medicine yesterday, and then I heard about Aunt Hongliu, so I put the casserole away, the old lady can invite the doctor to come and have a look.”

The old lady sneered: "Who knows if you will wash the casserole again and boil the medicine again?"

"Old lady, you have never boiled medicine, I'm afraid you don't know, this boiled medicine has the most smell. Whether it is in the big kitchen or I bring the casserole back, as long as the medicine is boiled, there must be a smell around it." Yes, if the old lady doesn't believe it, you can ask the people in the kitchen, or the neighbors around the old slave, to see if I have made another medicine in the past two days."

Zhao Momo was not stage fright at all, and explained to the old lady carefully: "If the old lady suspects that the old slave has let others cook medicine or wash the casserole, she can also send someone to ask. The old slave has been worrying about this matter all the time. I am afraid that our wife will be involved. From yesterday to now, I have either stayed in the mansion or stayed at my own home, but I have not gone out for half a step. The people in the old slave's house have also never gone out according to the old slave's request. These people , neighbors can testify.”

The old lady had never been so... lectured by a servant, and her face turned livid, "Are you threatening me?"

Zhao Momo was a little puzzled, with a confused look on her face: "Old lady, what are you talking about? How dare this old slave threaten you? Didn't you say that you wanted to investigate this matter to the bottom? When did this old slave threaten the old lady? "

Shen Ruyi hurriedly smoothed things over: "Grandmother, don't be angry, Nanny Zhao has always had such a straight temper, she can't turn corners when she speaks, and it's the same tone when she talks to my mother. My father also said at the time that Nanny Zhao is a very straightforward person. It is trustworthy, so I promised my mother to bring him back. Zhao Momo said so, it seems that there is no problem at all before the medicine is taken away, and grandma also said, Chen Momo Mammy would never do such a thing, so one of the two remaining must be lying."

As she spoke, Shen Ruyi glanced at the little maid.

"It's hard for us to say who lied. However, in this case investigation, we must pay attention to evidence, right? Since there are witnesses on Zhao Momo's side, then this..." Shen Ruyi raised her chin slightly, looking at that Little maid: "What's your name?"

"My maidservant, my maidservant's name is Qingyu." The little maid was so trembling that she nearly got into the ground, Shen Ruyi smiled and said: "This name is interesting, it is sunny and rainy, right? Let me ask you, what do you say?" From the time you took the medicine until Auntie Hongliu drank it, no one else has passed it, and you haven't met anyone else along the way, have you?"

Qingyu nodded hurriedly, and Shen Ruyi squinted her eyes and looked at her: "Then tell me, what evidence do you have that you didn't take this medicine?"

The old lady frowned, and Mrs. Shen Er also glanced sideways at Shen Ruyi, but she quickly lowered her eyes.The one called Qingyu seemed to be stupefied, and it took him a long time to stammer and say: "That, that, I didn't see anyone..."

Probably because she was so scared that even her voice was trembling so hard that it was hard to hear clearly.

"That is to say, you have no evidence to prove that you didn't take this medicine?" Shen Ruyi asked again, and the little maid was crying, but the Hou Mansion had strict rules, so she didn't dare to cry, her face turned pale. There was no color left.

After Shen Ruyi asked again, the little maid suddenly said: "Although I have no proof, I don't have this kind of medicine, so how can I prescribe medicine to Aunt Hongliu? I have never been out of the house, and I don't have that kind of medicine... "

The old lady looked at Shen Ruyi: "Such a little girl has never even been out of the gate. Where did she get those medicines for tigers and wolves? Don't just want to excuse Zhao Momo..."

"Grandmother, I'm not the kind of person who wrongs people indiscriminately." Shen Ruyi looked at the old lady with a smile, then turned to ask the little girl: "Then you live in the mansion? Where? Who do you live with? Who have you been in contact with in the past few days?"

Qingyu's status is only second-class maid, the big maid in the mansion even has four people to a room, second-class maid, that is eight people to a room, when it is the turn of third-class, that is Datong shop, can be filled A few plug a few.

Qingyu confessed a few times, and Shen Ruyi was about to ask someone to call those people over when Qiu Nanny hurriedly opened the curtain outside and came in: "Master Hou and his wife have already returned and entered the door. over here."

The old lady immediately frowned to look at Shen Ruyi, and Shen Ruyi looked surprised: "It's so early? Didn't father and mother go to ask the old lady for a prescription? Why did you come back so early? But it didn't go well?"

Nanny Qiu muttered twice, but didn't answer, how could she know if things were going well, neither Lord Hou nor Madam regarded her as a confidant.

Shen Ruyi never let go of Mrs. Shen's expression, and she frowned slightly. Although her face soon changed into a smile, Shen Ruyi didn't miss the little bit of annoyance before. She felt that her father and mother Did you come back too early?Did things not go the way she predicted, or did things not go the way she wanted?
However, since she guessed that she was behind the scenes, there is no need to worry too much about this matter.This person has a purpose and a reason for everything he does. What purpose can Mrs. Shen have?It's either the title or the money, it's either a scheme or a provocation, it's not like he fell in love with Lord Shen and then wanted to kill Mrs. Shen.

Shen Ruyi made fun of Lord Shen without any burden, and hurriedly got up to meet Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen.

Although Lord Shen was still leisurely, as if he didn't care about anything, his walking pace was obviously smaller than before, just enough for Mrs. Shen to keep up with her leisurely.

"Father, mother, didn't you go to ask grandma for a prescription?" Shen Ruyi asked loudly as soon as she went out. Lord Shen looked at her and raised his eyebrows. Mrs. Shen hurriedly smiled and said, "I have already asked for a prescription." Son, Imperial Physician Huang's family was in a hurry to go out to pay New Year's greetings, so we didn't dare to delay."

After speaking, she reached the door of the room, and Shen Ruyi hurriedly helped Mrs. Shen into the door.As soon as the couple entered, they saw Mother Zhao kneeling on the ground, the two little maids and the old woman.Mrs. Shen went to Aunt Hongliu's place yesterday, and she had seen those two little maids, she immediately asked in surprise: "The old lady is interrogating Hongliu's matter? Then what is Mother Zhao doing here?"

Without waiting for the old lady to speak, Shen Ruyi quickly explained the matter: "Then I felt that Qing Yu was more suspicious than Mother Zhao. At any rate, Mother Zhao had evidence and witnesses, but Qing Yu had nothing. But she said that she didn't have this kind of medicine, and I was wondering if I should call the people in the same room as her to ask about it."

Shen Houye immediately became a little impatient. He was the last thing to get involved in the nonsense things in the backyard. From his point of view, all the women in the backyard were looking for something to do when they were full.

In the past, Lord Shen would definitely have thrown his sleeves and left without saying a word, but now, Lord Shen looked at Mrs. Shen. His wife has such a big belly. If she is annoyed by these things, will it affect her stomach? The children in the house?
Doctor Huang said just now that if a pregnant woman is in a bad mood, there will be problems with the fetus... Moreover, prenatal education and so on, it is said in "The Book of Rites", it is very important, it is best not to let What bad things do pregnant women come into contact with.

Also, Ruyi, a little girl's family, is always involved in miscarriage and other things, and it is not good to investigate what wives and concubines are fighting to drug and murder their children.Smartness is a must for children, but after going through too many incidents in the backyard, if their temperament is transferred and they become like the old lady or Mrs. Shen, wouldn't it be a pity?
A housekeeper is a housekeeper, and it is something that ladies should learn.But the privacy of the back house can only be touched after Jiji has grown up and his temperament has been strengthened. Ruyi is still more than half a year away from Jiji.

It's rare for me to have a smarter, lively and interesting daughter. If I was delayed by the incident in the backyard, it would not be worth the loss.Besides, it's a bit unlucky that this matter has not been resolved after the New Year's Eve.

"Such a trivial matter, do you still need you to investigate it in three or two days?" Shen Houye stepped forward and made a decision in one sentence: "There is a nanny in my yard who is very capable. I will leave this matter to her and guarantee The results will come out in three days, so you won’t be in such trouble, it’s too bad luck for Chinese New Year.”

As he said that, he wanted to call his servant to find someone to come and take Qingyu away.

Mrs. Shen Er lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, and glanced at Master Shen Er. Master Shen Er smiled and said, "Brother, we men, why are you meddling in the affairs of this backyard? They women have nothing to do every day, but some small things , I can’t even do this well, how can I manage the house in the future? Let me see, don’t bother my elder brother, it happens that my family has nothing important to do, so let her help to check and check.”
