The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 166 Baimei was wronged and there was another disturbance

"Yushan is talking about Baimei?" Mu Yunge frowned slightly.

Yushan nodded: "Miss guessed right, it's Baimei!"

Seeing that both of them were so sure, Song Yaming quickly asked, "Who is Baimei? Is it a girl from Mu's family, a relative, or a guest from the banquet. Are you at the house now?"

When Shen Jingyu and Aunt Xiao heard that they mentioned Baimei, they raised their brows and smiled calculatingly, and they immediately felt relieved.

Yushan knelt in the living room, and said every word clearly: "Master Hui Song, Baimei is a girl from the Mu family. She committed something earlier and was discovered by the eldest lady. She was ordered to punish her with a stick for twenty, and she was imprisoned for a day. Today She was only released from the firewood room early in the morning. She had just been tortured with a cane, and she needed a cane to move, and naturally she walked with her legs crossed."

"Could it be that the girl has a grudge and wants to poison Miss Mu?" Wei Shi turned his head to ask Song Yaming.

This statement won the approval of Song Yaming. This Baimei had such a motive to kill, and the time and place coincided. The suspicion of poisoning was the greatest.

"Send Baimei!" Song Yaming shouted orders.

Not long after, Baimei limped behind the servant and came to the side room.Seeing her baring her teeth as she walked, Song Yaming saw that the punishment with the cane was the real thing. Thinking of what Yushan had said, he secretly deduced that Baimei's grudge against Mu Yunge was not at 01:30.

As soon as Baimei knelt down, Song Yaming asked, "Baimei, are you convicted?"

"I don't know." Baimei was recuperating in the courtyard, and when she was summoned suddenly, she felt uneasy in her heart. Hearing his harsh questioning, she was so frightened that her hands and feet trembled lightly, and she even forgot the pain in her buttocks and legs.

Song Yaming said: "You were beaten by Miss Mu, you hold a grudge, and you want to poison Missy's food and kill Missy, is there such a thing?"

Baimei almost suspected that she had heard wrong, her eyes widened in astonishment, her teeth trembled slightly, and her voice was startled: "My lord, you are wronged! This servant is a girl, and she deserves to be punished by the young lady for doing something wrong. How dare she hold a grudge in her heart? How could you poison Miss Mu, wanting to take Missy's life?"

"Miss Mu's diet was poisoned, and there are witnesses to prove that you went to the kitchen before the incident and touched the food in the kitchen." Song Yaming pressed, "Aren't you telling the truth?"

Baimei turned her head to look at Zhang Lingshan, who was kneeling beside her. Zhang Lingshan looked at her, obviously not understanding what was going on today, so she blinked and said to her with a smile: "Sister, you were here just now. I'm not lying."

Can this kind of thing be recognized casually?
Baimei's eyes were full of tears, resentful and angry: "Lingshan, how could you wrong me?"

"Lingshan didn't lie, sister, you took the porridge out of the pot!" Zhang Lingshan obviously didn't understand the importance of the matter: "You also added something to the pot."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the field gasped.

Baimei was so angry that she almost fainted: "I tasted the porridge, but I found it wasn't sweet enough, so I added some honey from the kitchen."

Zhang Lingshan yelled at her, but she pursed her lips, not daring to say anything.

"Add honey?" Pei Xin didn't believe it: "If it's really not enough sweetness, Mrs. Zhang will add it naturally. How can I use you?"

Baimei was speechless when asked by her, knowing that what she did was really superfluous, and now that she has attracted suspicion, she can't speak clearly all over her body.

The matter has come to this point, and now the key to repaying his innocence is the adults who are present here.Baimei turned around, kowtowed violently, and cried, "My lord, please listen to my servant's explanation. It's true that my servant went to the kitchen, and this servant did touch the things in the kitchen, but I didn't poison anything when I went to the kitchen. , the servant is just hungry and went to the kitchen to find something to eat."

"You're hungry, isn't there anything to eat in the Plum Appreciation Court?" Song Yaming didn't quite understand.

Baimei cried: "Your Excellency, I don't know. This servant did something wrong and was imprisoned by the eldest lady for a day. She was not allowed to eat or drink. The servants in the garden of appreciating plums all obeyed orders and did not dare to give food to the servant. The servant was hungry. It was terrible, and thinking that today is a celebration banquet, there should be a lot of things in the big kitchen, so..."

"You still want to deny it!" Yuxi who was behind Xiao's heard it angrily: "You are the only one who touched the white fungus, sago and lotus seed porridge, who else is not you?"

Song Yaming pondered for a moment, then said to Mu Zhizhao: "If you don't investigate thoroughly, I'm afraid you won't be able to give Yun Ge justice. If my second brother doesn't mind, I want to search and reward Mei Ting."

"Master Song, please go ahead!" Mu Zhizhao had no ghosts in his heart, so there was no way he would refuse.

Immediately, several servants went to Shangmei Court to investigate.

In the side room, everyone had different expressions. Shen Jingyu and Aunt Xiao supported each other, holding hands tightly. Shen Jingyu was worried on the face, but she was secretly proud of herself. Check out this search!
Soon, the two servants came back, holding a few things, and placed them on the mahogany table in front of the couch.

Mei Shaoqing stepped forward to open it, only to see two packets of white powder.After tasting it slightly, he immediately changed his face, straightened up and gave Baimei a fierce look, then said: "My lord, here are two packets of powder, one is licorice grass and the other is bitter lotus heart. Bitter lotus heart has been worried Bitter taste, although it is not bitter to eat, the taste has not changed."

"Bold servant girl, you still say that you have no evil intentions!" Song Yaming was furious when he made up his mind: "These things were all found in your room, what else do you have to say?"

Like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, Baimei, who had always been steady and fearless, almost passed out, terrified and sweating profusely.

Yushan and the others respected Mu Yunge very much. Seeing her death at this moment, they felt very upset in their hearts. Yushan stood up and shouted: "Baimei, you have committed such a shameful thing. The eldest lady is kind-hearted. I will spare your life. How dare you kill me?" Repaying kindness with revenge, so you don't know what is good or bad!"

"I don't have it, I really don't!" Baimei's tears fell to the ground, her head shook like a rattle, "Sister Yushan, believe me, I really don't!"

"You didn't? Then what are these!" Yushan was anxious and her voice was stern.

Baimei cried so hard that she almost lost her breath: "I don't know either. These things really don't belong to me. I never knew about licorice and bitter lotus. How could I make such things?"

But no one believed what she said, and there were all witnesses and material evidence, all pointing to her, so who could make the decision for her?

Seeing this, Shen Jingyu let go of Aunt Xiao's hand that had been holding her all along. The big event had been accomplished, she felt at ease, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Come here, tie up this diabolical slave for me and send him to the yamen, where he will be released later." Song Yaming ordered his left and right with a livid face.

"My servant is wronged——" Baimei was terrified and struggled desperately: "My lord, this servant is wronged. This servant dares to swear that she never poisoned the eldest lady!"

No one heard her say that Baimei was being dragged and was about to be taken away from the wing.

At this moment, the crowd was separated, and the other servants who had gone to search for Mei Ting just now finally came back. As soon as they came back, they immediately said, "Wait a minute, my lord!"

Shen Jingyu saw that someone came again, and Baimei's business was interrupted again. If something went wrong, what should I do?She was already frightened, afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so she couldn't help but glared at the visitor angrily.

Song Yaming waved his hand, Baimei was let go, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The two servants knelt on the ground with solemn expressions, hesitating to speak, before speaking, they carefully glanced at Fubohou and Fubohou's wife, and looked at Mu Zhizhao and Xiao Shi with some worry, In the end, it fell on Mu Yunge.Mu Yunge closed his eyes, nodded slightly, and one of them immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed: "My lord, the younger ones were ordered to search the Plum Appreciation Court and Baimei's residence, and found these things. The younger ones thought to themselves. There is also a foreign thief with Baimei, if Baimei becomes malicious, it is impossible to guarantee that she will not cooperate with outsiders to attack the master, wife and young master, so I will search her house more."

"What else did you find?" Wei Shi was very interested, and asked with a smile while twisting his fan.

The family Ding said: "We didn't find anything in Baimei's house, but when we came out of her house, we suddenly saw that the flower hall in the Plum Appreciation Court was open, so we became suspicious. The Mu family has a feast today. All the maids and servants in the courtyard were dispatched, there is absolutely no possibility that anyone is still there, the younger ones were afraid of being invaded by thieves, so they went to check. Who would have thought that seeing this almost scared the youngest out of their souls !"

"What is that?" Song Yaming also felt something was wrong, and his heart skipped a beat.

The servant kowtowed and shook into a ball: "Young one, I dare not say it!"

"What are you afraid to say!" Pei Xin was impatient, and muttered in a low voice: "Master and Madam are here, and there are so many distinguished guests, all of whom are high-ranking and powerful, can someone eat you?"

After hearing this, the servant raised his head and said timidly, "You guys found a dead body in the garden of appreciating plums..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head in fear, not daring to look at anyone again.

Corpse?

A dead body was found in Mu's house?

His words undoubtedly exploded in the crowd, and everyone's face changed color.Mu Zhizhao stood up all of a sudden, and Xiao Shi also knew that something serious had happened, so he stood up with his chair supported.Mu Yunge sat upright on the small step, and looked at them seriously.However, turning her gaze back, she met Wei Shi's eyes, both showing triumphant smiles.

"Corpse? Who is it?" Song Gongming never expected that the interrogation of Mu Yunge's poisoning would lead to a murder case in front of so many people.He was shocked, stood up from the chair, and said, "Is the person still there?"

Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Yue sent the maids to look for Zhao Yarong. At this time, something happened to the Mu family, but the maids did not come back. Mrs. Zhao felt more and more uneasy. Although she had been listening to Song Yaming's trial, her eyes turned to her from time to time. look outside.

When Song Yaming asked the question, the girl she sent out also came back with a heavy face, held something in her hand and handed it to her, and whispered to her ear, "Ma'am, this is the jasper ring worn by the young lady today." Pei, the servant girl picked it up on the path leading to the Plum Appreciation Court in the south courtyard of Mu's house! The door of the Plum Appreciation Court was locked, and the servant could not get in, so I had to let the two sisters guard it. Come back and let the madam make a decision .”

Another Plum Appreciation Court...

Mrs. Zhao's figure swayed slightly, she suddenly had a bad association, and her face paled, she tightened Fu Bohou's arm.

At this moment, the servant replied, "My lord, the little ones recognize her, she is the eldest lady of Fubohou's mansion!"
