famous concubine

Chapter 408: Beyond Secrets (5)
"My lord, you can't say that!" Although Mrs. Ye flinched, her tone was very strong. "You can't just believe that little brother's one-sided words, can you? Who can prove that what he said is true? Besides, the poisonous handkerchief found on the body of Young Master Geng is owned by Dongfang Mansion, but who knows Could it be that the Eldest Young Master picked up this veil somewhere?"

"My lord, you suspect that it's Young Master Geng who your slaves are plotting to kill, so don't you pay attention to motives in handling the case? Excuse me, my lord, I didn't know him at all before, why did my servants kill him?"

Gu Feng was rendered speechless for a while by her repeated straightforward questions.

Think about it too, a low-level servant in charge of firewood has no chance to know Geng Qi at all; if this is the case, what reason does she have to harm a person who has never met her before!

Dongfang Yu's eyes flickered slightly. She looked at Mrs. Ye and then at his wife. When everyone was silent, she suddenly asked slowly: "Ma'am, when did this mother Ye come to the house? She originally Where do you make a living?"

Madam didn't seem to expect why she asked this question, she frowned, but shook her head and said: "You have to ask Liu Guanshi, who manages the kitchen, about these trivial matters."

Guanshi Liu learned that Madam Ye's question was actually about Mrs. Ye, because she joined the Dongfang Mansion after Mrs. Ye's as a kitchen steward, so she had to be in a hurry again.After half a day, I finally understood the situation clearly and came back to report to Madam in a low voice.

"You said she was serving in the third aunt's yard?" After hearing this, the madam was surprised. When she glanced at Mrs. Ye from the corner of her eyes, she couldn't help raising her voice. Why was he sent to the kitchen to take care of the firewood?"

Guanshi Liu shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I can't find out about this servant girl. It seems that it's because Mrs. Ye...well, she was not bad looking back then. Later, she offended the third aunt for some reason, so she was relegated to the big kitchen to take care of the firewood. Go, that red scar on her face...well, it seems that it was branded by Third Aunt herself..."

Madam suddenly turned her head and looked at Mrs. Ye with a strange expression, and said in a low voice: "Hearing what you said, I remembered it. It seems that Mrs. Ye was with me when the third aunt first entered the door. I heard Mrs. Ye Before entering the mansion, the third aunt gave birth to an old man who had been widowed for decades. After giving birth to a pair of children, the old man died... this orphan and widow, I don't know what mistakes Ye made back then, so Let San Yiniang beat her so hard that she burned such a big scar on her face."

Madam's voice sounded very low, but it was just right, not only Mrs. Ye who was present could hear every word clearly, even Gu Feng could not miss every sentence; the Oriental language stood far away, and could only follow Madam's words vaguely. The expression, I can tell the general idea.

After Gu Feng heard this, the original slumped brows suddenly became cold and bright.

"Ye Shi, you don't have anything to argue with right now!" He sneered coldly, with a frightening official aura in his heavy brows, "The veil on Geng Qi's body with the seven-step pouring poison is you Secretly stuffing it on Geng Qi's body while the barbarian was not paying attention, you must have known in advance that the third lady is used to wiping his hands with his handkerchief before Geng Qi eats, so that if he is poisonous If you die, your resentment towards Third Aunt will be reported to her daughter, and your resentment will be let go."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye didn't shirk her right now. She raised her head, stared at Madam with some resentment, and said with a sad smile: "My lord, at this point, the servants really have nothing to deny."

"That's right, as you said, my lord, the veil with the seven-step poison on Eldest Geng's body was indeed put on him in secret." Ye's expression was filled with resentment, and she turned her head. Looking at Madam, then at Dongfang Xiu with a frightened face, he said: "What Guanshi Liu said just now is just one of the things that San Yiniang did to me back then. Much more serious than that."

"I just want her daughter to experience the feeling of being newlywed and widowed, and let her daughter experience the disgust of being abandoned by her husband's family." Ye Shi said, with a sad expression and hatred in his eyes. "Not only did she make my orphans and widowed mothers look down upon and bullied, but she also cruelly gave my two children to..."

"Xia Xue, you invited Third Aunt to come here, and, as soon as possible, inquire about this Ye Shi, I always feel that there is something unusual about her." Dongfang Yu looked at Ye Shi who looked sad and mad. , Feeling uneasy for a moment, she gave Xia Xue a little sideways order in a low voice, while paying attention to Mrs. Ye's actions.

I saw that although Ye's expression was sad and indignant, when she was talking about a pair of children, she suddenly stopped talking.

Seeing this, Gu Feng put on a cold face, lowered his eyes, and said slowly: "Mr. Ye, no matter what grievances you had with others before, you shouldn't attack Geng Qi, an innocent person today."

He lowered his brows, with a trace of pity in his eyes, looked at Mrs. Ye, and said slowly: "Now that you have admitted that you did this, the only thing I can do is to take you back to the yamen according to the law. , wait to see what happens next to Geng Qi, and then decide how to deal with you."

"Follow-up situation?" Ye's expression was startled, and then Zhuangruo laughed wildly, "Haha...he was poisoned by the seven-step poison, and he is definitely hopeless. You don't have to wait any longer, you can do it now." put people to death..."

"Crazy woman!" Hearing this, Geng Yuan was so excited that he couldn't beat him.He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, and suddenly strode towards Ye Shi, raised his hand, and slapped Ye Shi hard on the face, "Qi'er is so innocent, you...you...you...have hurt him, why don't you do it right now? Dare to curse him here, I, I..."

"Master Geng, please calm down." Seeing this, Gu Feng had to stand up and shouted to stop the excited Geng Yuan.Even if Mrs. Ye is guilty, he can't just watch Geng Yuan attack Mrs. Ye on the spot.

"Mr. Ye's crimes, I have Dongcheng's law to punish her severely, you should go in and see the situation of Young Master Ling."

"Ah!" Geng Yuan shook his sleeves violently, sighed helplessly, and then turned around to leave, "It's really an injustice made in the previous life."

Just as Geng Yuan waved his hands and went into the house to visit Geng Qi, the graceful figure of the third aunt came slowly from a distance.

Seeing that she was slightly nervous in her calm expression, she didn't seem to know what happened here.

When Gu Feng saw her coming, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, and his wife glanced at her directly, and said sarcastically, "Yo, Third Aunt was also moved after hearing the news."

"Move on hearing the wind?" Third Yiniang approached, heard Madam's mocking words, and muttered in a daze for a moment: "Madam said this is strange, didn't Master Gu send someone to call my concubine to come here?"

Gu Feng frowned, turned his eyes slightly, looked at San Yiniang, suppressed the doubts in his eyes, and said: "Since San Yiniang is here, it's just right, I just have a few questions to ask you."
