It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 235 Monthly Money
Jiang Jin naturally reached out to take the account that Mu Liuyun handed over, and began to look through it carefully. He started to turn backwards and forwards after Wu Rongzhi's accident. After turning through about ten pages, he probably also recorded two accounts. After buying it for three months, he raised his head and nodded to Mu Liuyun: "So far, I haven't seen anything unusual."

"At Wu Rongzhi's banquet that night, apart from you, were there any other wives and concubines from the back house who went to the front?" Mu Liuyun thought for a while, and could only ask Qiniang again.

"Never before." Qiniang shook her head and said aggrievedly, "I went there not long after the luncheon started. After that, the master was in a good mood, so he asked me to stay there to serve him, and I sat in his seat. Helping him serve wine and vegetables, although there were one or two people who were looking outside, but I didn’t see anyone coming in, unless my eyes are blind, I won’t be able to see.”

"What did Wu Rongzhi eat during the dinner that the chef said just now?" Mu Liuyun asked again.

Qiniang frowned and recalled for a while, then said hesitantly: "My lord, the master had a good appetite at noon that day, and he ate a lot. It seems that he has never touched the dishes just mentioned except sweets. I ate a lot of everything.

They had been drinking and chatting in the afternoon. In the evening, they probably drank a little too much. The master’s appetite was not as good as at noon, and he didn’t eat much meat. Instead, he drank a lot of ginseng and turtle soup. I served him several times . "

"Impossible!" Mrs. Wu immediately retorted when she heard this, "Wu Rongzhi has never liked the smell of ginseng, nor did he like eating soft-shelled turtles. In order to please him, the county captain specially asked someone to get some of them." When they were delivered, he was so angry that he threw them away.

Just because he had done all kinds of bad things in Yuyong County these years and was scolded badly, even if he didn't admit it, he knew it in his heart, so when he saw those soft-shelled turtles, he flew into a rage, thinking that the county captain was pointing fingers and scolding Huai.

There are a lot of ginseng in the family, but he never touches them, he refuses to even take a sip of ginseng tea, how can he drink ginseng and turtle soup, and keep bowl after bowl! "

"What the second lady said, why should I lie about this kind of thing?" Qiniang said aggrievedly, "The soup was made by the cook, and I put bowls for the master to pour into the bowls. If it is true I'm so afraid of getting into trouble, I should never say anything about this matter.

Anyway, one or two of the guests at the banquet that day were drunk, and after waking up, they may not be able to remember what the master ate and drank during the banquet. Even if you ask, you can't find out why.

Originally, the master really didn't like the taste of the ginseng and turtle soup, but he drank wine that day, and he couldn't taste the taste in his mouth. I advised him to drink more ginseng and turtle soup, which is good for his health, and it will be good for me at night Serving him, the master was in a good mood after hearing this, so he drank a few more bowls. "

When she said this, she looked at Mrs. Wu provocatively, and immediately thought of her own situation, thinking about all the previous plans, everything she worked hard for was in vain, and she couldn't help feeling sad. , fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

Mrs. Wu Er gave her a disgusted look, then turned her eyes away and sighed.

Mu Liuyun silently watched the exchange of expressions between Qiniang and Mrs. Wu, and he also had a plan in his heart.

Mrs. Wu hardly concealed her dislike and hatred for Wu Rongzhi. According to this meaning, she has used the convenience of being in charge of the chores in the back house over the years to help deal with the plight of many female relatives in the back house. Of course, in this It more or less played the role of helping Wu Rongzhi wipe his ass.

All in all, the second lady's hatred for Wu Rongzhi was not feigned, and she seemed to be fighting against Wu Rongzhi all the time, but in essence, she was half a step away from the one who had locked herself in the Buddhist hall and led her hair to practice. There is no essential difference between the eldest lady who refuses to step forward, that kind of resistance and hostility are all negative.

After all, they all knew that they couldn't get rid of Wu Rongzhi smoothly, so even though they expressed their dissatisfaction in different ways, they didn't dare to really tear themselves apart with Wu Rongzhi anyway.

They still regard Wu Rongzhi as an indispensable role in ensuring their lives. They may have sympathy and compassion for those women who fight to the death, but they definitely don't have that kind of courage.

Therefore, generally speaking, although Wu Rongzhi died, it could be regarded as a good thing for wives and concubines like them who were unwilling to commit themselves to such a villain, but it was not so good, because a group of women wanted to support what Wu Rongzhi left behind. These family businesses, especially those built on the foundation of so many years of looting and oppression, are really too difficult.

So in terms of emotion and reason, no matter how much Mrs. Wu hated Wu Rongzhi, she shouldn't want him to die.

As for this Qiniang, although she was a little pretentious, the sadness she felt when she cried did not seem to be fake, and the crying had nothing to do with any kind of love, it was just a calculation made for a long time Xi Luokong, the things that he thought he had a chance to win had all come to naught, so he lost his emotions and broke down.

Mrs. Wu Er had been with Wu Rongzhi for two or three years before she told the story, but she couldn't even be promoted to be a concubine, so she was ignored by the old and the new. When the maid died tragically, Qiniang looked like a rabbit dead and a fox sad. Wu Rongzhi is not dead, and she is not the person sitting on the tip of Wu Rongzhi's heart.

So she has a strong fear of liking the new and disliking the old, of being left out in the cold and being abandoned. She persuaded Wu Rongzhi to drink ginseng and turtle soup. The reason why she persuaded Wu Rongzhi to drink ginseng and turtle soup can also be guessed by Mu Liuyun, a fake son.

From this point of view, in Qiniang's little calculation, she couldn't bear the accident of Wu Rongzhi's tragic death.

So who exactly can benefit from Wu Rongzhi's death?
Mu Liuyun listened to Qiniang crying bitterly, while quickly calculating in her heart, she glanced at the group of shy servants next to her, and there was something shiny in her peripheral vision, so her gaze moved back , fell on the red-faced cook who had spoken just now.

"Cook, let me ask you, with so many people in the Wu family, are you the only one responsible for cooking?" Mu Liuyun asked.

The cook didn't expect that it was the masters who were talking just now, and now she suddenly asked the question on her own head, and hurriedly replied: "My lord, it's just me. The second lady was afraid that I would be too busy, so she wanted to invite one more person. , I begged the second lady, saying that I can handle it alone, just ask her to give me a little monthly salary increase, don't ask anyone else."
