famous concubine

Chapter 356 Liu Yunsha (3)
"Xiao Ni." Madam looked at Dongfang Ni, who had a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, her tone was not harsh, but revealed a rare kindness, "Tell me honestly, did you tell the people in the kitchen to stew the eel and turtle soup that day?" ?”

"Ma'am." Dongfang Ni lowered her head, bit her lip, and said cautiously, "I only had people cook turtle soup in the kitchen, not eel and turtle soup."

Madam was startled when she heard the words, then frowned, her voice was cold and stern, and she said suspiciously: "Are you telling the truth? You should know that I can verify this kind of thing as soon as I check it. Don't lie and deceive me."

"Ma'am, what I'm telling is the truth. If you don't believe me, you can check it out. The other day I told the kitchen staff to cook the soup and told me. Who knew that when I went to the kitchen, Miss Ji ordered someone to bring the soup. Madame’s yard is gone, I thought, anyway, I also stewed the soup for Madam, so I didn’t say anything about it.”

Dongfang Ni's words were accurate, judging by her slightly aggrieved demeanor, these words did not seem to be fake.

Madam was confused again for a moment, could it be that Su Lian lied?

"Why do you suddenly think of stewed turtle soup?" Madam thought for a while, and decided to ask again quietly.

"To tell you the truth, Madam, I will know that this soft-shelled turtle soup has a nourishing effect, and I overheard it from the mothers of the older generation."

I heard it in secret again.

Suspicious wrinkles appeared faintly on the madam's forehead.She rolled her eyes coldly, stared at Dongfang Ni, and asked slowly: "Then have you ever told others about your plan to stew soft-shelled turtle soup?"

Dongfang Ni fell silent and thought about it for a while, before replying: "I haven't told anyone about this at all."

Dongfang Ni also showed a puzzled look, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly exclaimed: "Yes, I only told Xiaohuan, and I also asked her to go to the kitchen to ask the steward to cook the soup... But I really just let She asked someone to stew soft-shelled turtle soup, but she didn't add any rice field eel into it."

Madam and Rong's mother next to her looked at each other, and a strange feeling flashed in their hearts silently.Seeing that she couldn't ask anything of value, Madam waved Dongfang Ni back out in disgust; then she sent Xiaohuan who was next to Dongfang Ni to come over to ask questions, ordinary maids, there is no one who is not afraid of Madam's coldness and power However, under his wife's repeated questioning, Xiaohuan insisted that the Fourth Miss only ordered her to go to the kitchen and ask someone to stew soft-shelled turtle soup.

The madam had no choice but to push Xiaohuan away; she felt more and more confused about this matter.

"Mother Rong, what do you think of this matter? One insists that people only cook soft-shelled turtle soup; the other claims that it is because they overheard the rice field eel and soft-shelled turtle soup by accident, that they did the act of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. What do you think about the two of them? More believable?"

"Ma'am, I feel that what the two of them said may be true; it's just that the rice field eel was added by someone secretly, and Miss Ji was misled, which caused the lady to be poisoned after eating it by mistake."

Madam also frowned, with a preoccupied look, and said: "Then the person who passed the kitchen over to ask?"

Manager Liu of the kitchen was soon passed on to the Quanfuyuan, and if he was able to take the fat position of a manager in the kitchen, this manager Liu was naturally loyal to his wife.

As soon as the lady opened her mouth, she asked directly: "Guard Liu, you also know what I wanted to ask you when I called you here today. Just tell me, what's going on here? Who made the eel and turtle soup? "

"Return to Madam." Guanshi Liu looked like a stable and capable person. She lowered her head, but her eyes were very bright, and her voice did not show any sign of flinching. The stewed turtle soup is said to be specially stewed to nourish you, Madam; turtles are not cheap things, so this servant remembers this very clearly."

"That day, the kitchen only bought two soft-shelled turtles; after Miss Si gave orders, we started to make soup. Not long after, Miss Ji came to the kitchen in person and said she wanted to make soup for you, Madam; the servant girl told her at that time, Fourth Miss has already had soft-shelled turtle soup stewed; Miss Ji didn't say anything, only left a message, saying that when the soup is ready, send someone to tell her first."

Madam frowned when she heard this, and interrupted Guanshi Liu indifferently, and said: "So, no one put the eels in the soup from the beginning to the end?"

"Ma'am, the kitchen did buy rice field eels that day. It was Ci Jingtang's mother who said that the old lady wanted to eat rice field eels and wanted to cook a dish, so she bought them; but this rice field eel...no one knows how it got away in the end. When it arrived in the hot pot, it was stewed with the soft-shelled turtle."

Madam thought for a while with a sullen face, then waved Guanshi Liu out.

No matter how you think about it, it's not right, but it's hard to say what's wrong.It seems that she was poisoned by eating eels by mistake, as if it was an unintentional accident.

"Ma'am, in this mansion, only the second young lady understands the principles of medicine. Could it be that she did this secretly?" Mother Rong looked at Madam's uncertain face, and began to speculate worriedly.

"Even if it's really her fault, we can't catch anything, so what can we say!" Madam sighed lazily, and said, "Oh, I can only be more careful in the future, and don't fall for her tricks."

She knew earlier that if she couldn't nail down that girl last time, she would be bitten back by that girl sooner or later; she just didn't expect that the bite would come so quickly, and people couldn't catch a clue about that girl at all. This is the most hateful thing.

Instead, it was Ji Sulian and Dongfang Ni who secretly had a rift because of the turtle soup incident.

Green Garden.

Rouge showed an expression of lingering fear, looked at the stunning girl who was quietly flipping through the medical books, and said softly: "Miss, do you know about the madam's poisoning? It's too horrible. Who knew that after drinking two sips of soup, she would lose her life inexplicably at some point." , slaves will not dare to eat casually in the future."

"Really? Then this is a good lesson!" Dongfang Yu lazily closed the medical book, looked at Rouge, and showed a playful smile. "However, you don't need a cup, bow and snake shadow. Most foods are not compatible with each other. Even a few foods that are compatible with each other are slightly toxic. Even if you eat them by mistake, nothing will happen. At most, you will have diarrhea."

"Then why is the lady's matter so coincidental? Isn't it just drinking two sips of soup? How did you get a poisonous one out?" Yan Zhi still looked at Dongfang Yu nervously, her eyes were full of suspicion.

"Rouge, soft-shelled turtle soup is not something everyone can afford." Dongfang Yu looked at her, smiled meaningfully, and said quietly: "Of course, this rice field eel and soft-shelled turtle soup is even more unimaginable for everyone. You are lucky to drink this soup, as long as you don't suffer from cold and don't eat the medicinal materials containing Bauhinia, this soup is still very nourishing and nourishing."

Yanzhi showed fearful eyes, and quickly waved her hands and said: "Miss, you should spare the servant, this kind of soup that may kill you at any time, no matter how nourishing it is, the servant dare not drink it."
