Red apricots make spring

Chapter 42 Interrogating the Cook
Then Ruan heard the footsteps of the two young men going out of the house, the whole room was quiet, only the slight breathing of the people and the occasional humming of Mr. Zhao were heard.After a while, the two servants came back again, and then the voices in the room became complicated, the one giving orders, the one carrying the basin, the one pouring water, mixed with the sound of Mr. Zhao struggling, and suspicious swallowing. She lowered her eyes in disgust and covered her nose with her sleeve.

deserve it!If he wasn't poisoned to death, he was lucky!It was the first time in Wenrou's life that she gloated so viciously, she really hated this Master Zhao so much!But after the happiness passed, the unconcealable worry in her heart surfaced again. She was very afraid that Xiaohuan and Mrs. Liu would not escape, and that it would not be a good time to redeem herself, but she really didn't want to go back to the Zhao residence for a day. stay.

After finally waiting for Master Zhao to be cured of the poison and revived, most of the people in the room breathed a sigh of relief. After a while of confusion, Mrs. Su asked the two doctors to prescribe a few more prescriptions for clearing the poison and replenishing the body. , then rewarded them with silver and sent them away.

Wen Ruan followed Zhao Yan out from behind the screen, and saw Zhao Qi and Zhao Shun carrying a few people to carry Master Zhao to rest somewhere else, Li Shi wanted to follow him to serve, but was called back by Su Shi, she said lightly: "Master Zhao There are two children watching over there, and maids serving him, let him rest well. Tell me first, how did the master get poisoned, and have you found out who poisoned him?"

"I don't know which murderer has such a vicious heart! I was panicked at the time, and I was only concerned with taking care of the master, and I haven't had time to investigate! But didn't the doctor just say that the poison was put in the chicken noodle soup? If the person who made this noodle soup called here early this morning to ask, won’t it be clear?”

"Return to Madam, I have just taken time to check in the kitchen. This noodle soup is made by Aunt Wang. The master gets up every morning and puts in a bowl of noodle soup, saying that her cooking is delicious, so he always asks her to cook just this." Jin Yu, the maid beside Li Shi, saw that Cha asked about this matter, so she quickly opened her mouth.

Su Shi glanced at Jin Yu with a half-smile and said: "You girl is still careful, so hurry up and pass Sister Wang to me."

It is rumored, but Sister-in-law Wang was dragged into the yard by several servants in the end. Mrs. Su walked out slowly, holding the hands of sweeping red, and looked at Sister-in-law Wang who was lying on the ground with disheveled hair, shouting grievances and swearing at the same time. Said: "If you have anything to say, say it as soon as possible, don't wait for me to send you to the official with the master's name sticker, before you are willing to recruit."

"You're wronged, ma'am! I really didn't poison—" Sister-in-Law Wang cried, "I've worked hard in this mansion for many years, so what reason do I have to poison the master? Besides, I don't have the trouble Water Mangcao..."

Su Shi's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and interrupted her: "You didn't poison, how do you know what kind of poison Master has?"

"Yes... Jin Yu just said it..." Mrs. Wang glanced at Jin Yu who was standing behind Mrs. Li and said, "She asked me why I mixed mangcao juice into Master's noodle soup."

"Oh?" Su Shi glanced at Jin Yu again, and suddenly said with a downcast face: "I didn't expect someone to tip you off!"

"I am wronged, Madam Mingjian, I just want to relieve Madam's worries, I really have no other thoughts..." Jin Yu glanced at Li Shi, saw that she was silent, immediately knelt down and begged Su Shi for mercy: "Madam, please forgive me. Once, next time I won’t dare to make my own claims.”

Su Shi ignored her, just lightly brushed his sleeves twice, and casually asked Aunt Wang: "Do you usually suffer from rheumatism?"

Mrs. Wang didn't know why Su changed the subject inexplicably, so she didn't dare not answer, she just cried and replied: "I'm not in good health, but I don't have rheumatism, but Mrs. Liu who is in charge of the big kitchen, her My legs often hurt from rheumatism." At this point, Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered something, and said anxiously: "Sister Liu! It must be her! The person who poisoned the master must be her!"

coming!Rourou's heart "thumped", knowing that Mrs. Liu's poisoning would definitely be exposed because the motive was too obvious!
"Sister-in-law Liu?" Su lowered her eyes, sat on a chair that Sao Hong brought for her, and raised her voice, "Bring her here." Then she asked Mrs. Wang, "What do you mean?" The person who poisoned the master must be Mrs. Liu, do you have any evidence?"

"Yesterday her daughter, Xiaohuan, didn't know what happened. She cried and ran back to the big kitchen to find Mrs. Liu. Afterwards, they entered the house and never came out again. I didn't expect this to happen this morning. It wasn't Mrs. Liu. Who else could it be?" Seeing a chance to defend herself, Mrs. Wang, of course, told everything about what happened yesterday, and seeing Wen Rou was there, she immediately pointed at her and said, "Ru Hua was also there yesterday, She and Mrs. Liu sent Xiaohuan back to the house together, the three of them closed the door, and they didn't know what they were discussing, Madam just asked her to know."

If I had known that Mrs. Wang had a grudge with her, I probably couldn't hide what happened yesterday. Instead of waiting for others to tell it, I might as well tell it myself first!Rourou made a little calculation in her heart, bet this time!Without waiting for her name to be called, she stood up consciously and bowed her head to Su Shi and said: "Yesterday my mother came to see me and said that she would redeem me for me. After talking for a while, I came back. I didn't expect to see Xiaohuan crying and running past me on the road. She and I served at the third girl's place. Our friendship has always been good. I thought that something had happened. I rushed to catch up with her. Later, it was indeed me and Mrs. Liu who sent her back to the house, but Xiaohuan just kept crying and refused to say anything, so Mrs. Liu sent me away and asked me to help her. She killed fish to cook soup, and I accidentally hurt my hand, so Aunt Liu sent me back, but I don't know exactly what happened."

Seven points of these words were true and three points of falsehood, which sounded reasonable. First, it blocked Mrs. Wang's mouth, and second, it also defended herself.Rourou thought in her heart, guessing that Xiaohuan probably escaped quietly, otherwise someone would have reported Su's back and forth, and Aunt Liu would not have made such a fuss.

"Redemption? Why didn't your mother come to tell me?" Mrs. Li usually depended on Mr. Zhao's favor, Mrs. Su didn't have the energy to manage the affairs of the house, and she was always domineering. The posture of interrogating people here, she couldn't get in a word, and seeing her confidant maid, Jin Yu, was still kneeling there, she was already suffocated, and now hearing Ruan Rou's words, she couldn't help but interrupt, okay She is in charge of the daily chores in the mansion, and she is not overbearing.

She was waiting to ask Wen Rou carefully, and turned her face back, but Su Shi stopped her and said: "Okay! What kind of a big deal is it that a maid wants to redeem her body? It's worth mentioning it? It's important to ask serious things first!"

Being robbed of a sentence, Mrs. Li was suddenly so angry that her chest was stuffy, her face turned blue and white, and she didn't dare to argue with Mrs. Su, so she could only bear it back and gave her a hard look at Wen Rou secretly.

Rou Rou lowered her head and pretended not to see it, but she was complaining in her heart. She was thinking of asking for redemption at this time, laying a foundation first, and letting her mother come to talk about it later. It would not be too abrupt, and others would not easily guess her What is the relationship between the redemption matter and Xiaohuan's matter, but who knows that she accidentally offended Mrs. Li, if she holds a grudge and refuses to redeem herself, and then tortures herself slowly, it will be miserable!
