Yijia Yishi

Chapter 59
The cold moon is like frost, and at this moment, Fushouju Xici Room is in chaos.

When the wives of each house got the news, they all came to visit.

Standing at the door, Mrs. Wu whispered to Lu Shuyi, "There is no place to stand in the room, so don't go in."

Lu Shuyi nodded, stretched her neck and looked in.

The third wife, Mrs. Pei, was hugging Lu Shuqing and weeping, calling: "My Qing'er, you scared the mother to death." The eldest wife sat on the edge of the collapse and poured soup and medicine for Lu Shuqing, and comforted her: " Just take the medicine and sleep well."

Lu Shuqing burst into tears, her face was covered with small red rashes, and even her eyes were swollen into slits. She cried, "Mom, I feel itchy all over... I feel so uncomfortable... I really feel so uncomfortable... "Before saying a word, he panted heavily, as if he was about to die.She was so frightened that Pei's face turned pale, and she hugged Lu Shuqing quickly and said, "My dear boy, don't talk yet, mother knows you are uncomfortable, just bear with it, don't scratch it with your hands."

Mrs. Lu sat on a rose chair with a black lacquer and scarlet cushion on one side, her face was gloomy, the sandalwood rosary in her hand was snapping, and she asked in a deep voice, "Is there any yam on the table today?"

Lu Zhaoping waited on the test, and whispered: "There is a soup of white fungus, pear and yam. I don't know if Liu girl has eaten it."

Lu Shuqing and his party cried, and said in a hoarse voice: "I won't let me eat yam if I beat my mother. It's a matter of life and death. How dare I eat that thing."

Pei's face turned blue with anger, and she knew in her heart that Lu Shuqing must have been murdered.But today's birthday banquet was prepared by her, and the cook was invited from outside. If someone tampered with it, what went wrong?
Before she could speak, Old Madam Lu said with a cold face: "Call me in all the maids who are serving by Miss Liu today. I want to ask how they serve the master."

Qian Momo replied yes, and after a short while, two timid little maids came in from outside, one named Liu Ye and the other Qiu Ju.

The two of them knelt on the ground as soon as they entered, and said with tears in their eyes: "Old Madam Mingjian, there was indeed a soup of tremella, pear and yam at the birthday banquet today, but Miss Six didn't eat it."

Half of Old Madam Lu's face fell under the candlelight, and she was frightened: "Then tell me, since Liu girl has never eaten tremella, pear and yam soup, why did she get sick?"

Liu Ye burst into tears, and cried: "I don't know why this is happening. Miss Six doesn't eat much today, and there are only a few kinds of food in total. Several young ladies on the eating table ate it. If the old lady Ma'am, don't worry, you can ask the ladies in each room if they have yam in them."

The old lady Lu looked sideways and met Lu Shuyi's eyes. She asked, "Third girl, did you eat the yam?"

All eyes fell on Lu Shuyi.

Lu Shuyi and Mrs. Lu looked at each other, and said slowly: "There is no yam in the dishes I eat..."

Pei's eyes lit up, and she heard Lu Shuyi's implication at once, opened her eyes wide and said: "Third girl, you mean that Qing'er's food was tampered with? You didn't have yam in it, hers It's in there, right?"

Such an obvious thing, it's just that no one has pierced it.Because once it is punctured, everyone at today's birthday banquet will be involved. Anyone who has been in contact with Lu Shuqing will be suspected.

Fearing that Lu Shuyi said something she shouldn't have said, Wu quickly coughed dryly and said, "Yi'er means that she didn't eat the yam." Her eyes fell on Lu Shuyi, and she said in a deep voice, "Yi'er, is that so?"

Lu Shuyi nodded yes, and said: "It is true that there is no yam in the dishes I have eaten, but the sixth younger sister just got sick at this time. If it was really the bowl of white fungus, pear and yam soup at noon, then the time of onset is too slow..."

Lu Shuyi stopped when she clicked, she believed that Mrs. Pei had guessed something in her heart.

As expected, Mrs. Pei remained silent, and asked Liu Ye after a while, "I just watched the fireworks, did Miss Six eat sweet potato and purple rice soup?"

Liu Ye lowered her head and replied: "Miss Six said that this soup is sweet, one bowl is not enough, so she asked the maidservant to fill another half bowl."

Pei's eyes were dim, looking at the old lady Lu choked up and said: "Old lady, if someone deliberately added yam to the sweet potato soup for Qing'er to eat, then this person's heart is too vicious, she will put Qing'er to death !"

The eldest wife He's eyes moved slightly, and she said slowly: "Third brothers and sisters' speculation is not impossible. If sweet potatoes were replaced with yams, purple rice was added to boil waxy glutinous rice, and cotton candy was put in it, who would be able to detect the difference?" ?”

Lu Zhaoping also frowned and said, "Don't say that a child at Liu Yatou's age can't tell the difference, it's me... I'm afraid it's hard to tell the difference."

The old lady Lu's face was livid with anger, and she slapped her hands and asked, "Who made the sweet potato and purple rice soup? Call the cook in."

Aunt An happened to come over there too, she stood behind Wu Shi, and asked Wu Shi quietly: "What's wrong with the old lady? Why are you so angry?"

Lu Shuyi heard it in her ears, and sneered in her heart. At this time, she can still pretend that she doesn't know anything, it's really hard for her.

Mrs. Wu only said indifferently: "The sixth girl was murdered, and the old lady is investigating right now!"

Aunt An looked surprised: "Has been murdered? Who wants to harm her?"

Lu Shuyi turned her head and said in a low voice: "Don't be surprised, Auntie, the old lady is investigating!" She fixedly looked at Aunt An's face, and said slowly: "It is said that there was something wrong with the bowl of sweet potato and purple rice soup at night, and Auntie also ate it. Now, can you notice something strange?"

Aunt An looked indifferent, shook her head and said: "I also used a bowl, and I didn't notice any abnormalities."

Lu Shuyi didn't speak any more, just waiting for Mrs. Lu to interrogate the cook.

As she thought, Mrs. Lu did not get anything from the cook after interrogating her.The person who passed the rice was interrogated, but nothing was found.

On the contrary, Chen Erniang, the cook who made the soup, was the nephew and daughter-in-law of Mammy Zhao next to the eldest wife, so the eldest wife was a little more suspicious.

Nanny Zhao lowered her head, not daring to say a word.

Lu Shuyi pinched her fingers, this time Aunt An's work was flawless, she really had planned it long ago.

This matter involved the eldest wife, no matter how she dealt with it, it would not be involved in Aunt An's head.

With a cold face, the eldest lady scolded Erniang Chen and said, "Why are you so careless in doing things? Could it be that you can't even tell the difference between sweet potatoes and yams?"

Pei Shi was originally the kind of person who was extremely suspicious. She originally suspected Aunt An, but now she found out that the cook who made the soup was someone close to the eldest lady, so she couldn't help being suspicious of the eldest lady.

Since he had some doubts, his tone of voice became a little colder, and he said: "What's the use of keeping such a cook, just pull her out and beat her to death."

The eldest lady didn't say a word, then Chen Erniang knelt on the ground and begged: "The old lady knows that the servant does not dare to murder Miss Six. The servant and Miss Six have never had any enmity, so how could they harm her?"

But Aunt An suddenly said: "I remember your daughter used to be a rough envoy by Miss Six's side?"

The words suddenly reminded Lu Shuqing, Lu Shuqing coughed, her eyes fell on Chen Erniang, she stared at Chen Erniang for a long time, and suddenly said in surprise: "Could it be that Auntie is talking about Qingge?"

Chen Erniang's face was very ugly, she fell || fell to the ground and kowtowed: "Qingge is indeed the daughter of the servant girl, but the servant girl really has no intention of harming Miss Six."

The old lady Lu's eyes moved slightly, and she asked, "What's going on? What's going on with Qing Ge?"

With a cold light in Pei's eyes, she looked at Chen Erniang and said with hatred: "This Qingge was originally a second-class maid beside Qing'er, but her hands and feet were not clean, and she stole a pair of red gold bracelets from Qing'er. That's why I beat her." After a while, he was kicked out."

Lu Shuyi suddenly realized, no wonder Aunt An was so confident, it turned out that Erniang Chen had such an enmity with the third wife.

In this way, no matter whether Chen Erniang planted the yam or not, she cannot get rid of it.

Aunt An's wrist is really clever, but she thought her too simply at first.

Lu Shuyi fixedly looked at Chen Erniang, seeing her pale face, kowtowed and said: "Old Madam Mingjian, this matter really has nothing to do with slaves, slaves don't dare to do this even if they have a hundred guts!"

Mrs. Pei had already decided that it was Chen Erniang, and she blushed for a while. When she caught up, she slapped Chen Erniang a few times, and scolded severely: "White-eyed wolf, bitch, our Lu family provides you with food and drink, and this is how you repay it." Master's?"

The old lady Lu also said with a sullen face: "It's really a dirty thing. Your daughter's hands and feet are not clean, so she should have been kicked out. If you are left in the kitchen, you will not only be ungrateful, but also murder the master. You can't do it like this." Familiar white-eyed wolf, what's the use of keeping it?"

The old lady Lu waved her hand, and said involuntarily: "Pull it out, give her a hard meal first, and leave her alone. And her family members, all of them are thrown out, and they are sold far away. They are dead or alive. No longer has nothing to do with our Lu family."

Chen Erniang was frightened to death, cried and hugged Old Madam Lu's leg tightly, begging: "Madam, please forgive me, please forgive me, old lady."

At this time, Mother Zhao couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to come over to intercede.

The eldest wife gave her a hasty look and refused to let her show up.At this point in the matter, no matter who jumps in, they will be hated by Mrs. Pei, so it's better to let it go.

Zhao mama held her handkerchief and endured it, watching helplessly as the women dragged Chen Erniang out.

Pei's anger was still there, and she said with red eyes: "Such a dog slave can bully the master, and Fu'er who was next to the second sister-in-law last time, I am really terrified now, if I hadn't caught her out early , Second sister-in-law still doesn't know what the situation will be!"

She said: "Old lady, there is a lot of chaos in the house now, you have to clean it up."

The old lady Lu's eyes were fixed, and she was also anxious, and said: "It's time to rectify and rectify, if they don't rectify, they will just treat them as no one to control them, and they will become more and more courageous. .”

Lu Zhaoping hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be too angry, your body is important."

Over there, Lu Shuqing took a few more breaths, yelling that her whole body was itchy.Pei's heart ached, she cried and pulled Lu Shuqing's hand to prevent her from scratching, for fear of scratching and leaving a scar.

Lu Shuyi quietly glanced at Aunt An, and saw that she was still indifferent, as if nothing had happened...

　I'm too busy at home, so I can only make one change. I will make up all the time when I have time, okay~
