The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 153 Mrs. Xu Don't Know?

Steward Fu's voice fell, and the room was quiet.

No matter Lin Qingqian or Wen Shi and others present, they had expected it in their hearts, but when the evidence pointed to Xu Shi, they were still surprised.

The old lady had a gloomy face and said nothing, making it hard to fathom her thoughts.

Wen shi gritted his teeth, his eyes flickered.

She can never tolerate her child disappearing in vain!

Wen's eyes were red, she knelt down in front of the old lady, and said with a choked voice, "Mother, you have to make the decision for my concubine, my poor child...in less than two months, he was murdered and miscarried, you You must be the master for us!"

Seeing this, Lin Qingrou also knelt down, supported the weeping Wen family, and said, "Grandmother, please be the master for my mother. When she found out that she was pregnant, she was very happy and prayed every day for a safe birth. , not asking for anything else, but now he is being harmed by others, I beg the abbot, grandmother, to be fair!"

The mother and daughter were crying so pitifully, the old lady's chest was churning with anger, and she suppressed herself to calm down.

"Don't worry, I said before that if it is found out that Miscarriage was murdered by someone, I will definitely not spare that person lightly!"

"My concubine thanked my mother for my poor child..."

The old lady gave instructions to Nanny Zhang: "There is the word Moonlight Square painted on the bottom of the balm, and immediately send someone to ask if it is really Da Furen's personal maid who bought a batch of balm, and also asked to add saffron to the balm." .”

"Yes, the servant will go here."

Looking at Zhang Nanny's retreating figure, Lin Qingqian secretly sighed in her heart.

Did the old lady want to confirm more clearly by doing this, or did she not want to believe it and deliberately favor Xu?

She didn't know that all she could do now was to wait quietly.

Yuemo Xu and Baihe didn't think about their method of concealment, but they were still discovered by others, so they didn't deal with it completely, leaving many clues.

Nanny Zhang sent someone to Moonlight Square to inquire, and it was easy to find out that a few days ago, a maid came to order a batch of lipstick and rouge powder. Because the maid asked to add saffron powder to the lipstick, the shopkeeper remembered very clear.

After Madam Zhang finished speaking, the old lady's face was as cold as ice. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Someone go to Youlan Garden to invite the eldest lady over!"

"Yes, the servant will go here."

……

Orchid Court.

The wound on Lily's forehead has been treated, and she came in from outside the house, and saluted Xu Shifu who was sitting on the limp paralyzed body: "Madam, just now the servants of Jinglanyuan came to report, saying that the old lady invited you to come over."

Xu raised her eyes, "The old lady invited me to come over? Did you say what it is?"

"The servant who came didn't say why."

Mrs. Xu thought for a while, "Did Taoist Ling Xiao be arrested and returned to the mansion?"

"The maidservant has been watched at the door. If Taoist Ling Xiao catches her back, that person will definitely come back and report immediately. Therefore, it should have nothing to do with Taoist Ling Xiao if the old lady invites you to go over."

After thinking about it, Xu couldn't figure out why the old lady invited her to go this time.

Shaking his head, he simply didn't want to think about it anymore, Xu said: "Let's go, let's go to Jinglan Garden now."

"Yes, ma'am."

When Mrs. Xu came to Jinglan Court, Nanny Zhang led her to the front hall.

After stepping into the front hall, she realized that not only the old lady was there, but Lin Qingqian, Lin Qingrou, and Wen's were also there.

Xu's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Wen's miscarriage was discovered?
The hands in the sleeves were clenched tightly, Mrs. Xu pretended to be calm, saluted the old lady, with a gentle smile on her face, said: "Mother, you called my concubine to come, but something happened?"

The old lady snorted coldly, threw Wen's lipstick at Xu's feet, and asked angrily: "You explain to me, what is it!"

Xu's heart suddenly tightened, his pupils shrank slightly, but he pretended to be ignorant and said: "Mother, what's wrong with this fat...?"

"Qingqian went to Mingyuan to check today, and found that the mouthwash used by Wen's was not right. He found a master who knew how to blend fragrances. He has a keen sense of smell, and he can distinguish the spices in it just by smelling it. He said this mouthwash. , it was mixed with saffron powder, I asked Steward Fu, and I found out that it was a good thing done by your personal maid!"

Xu's eyes widened in shock, "Did Lily do something good?"

"That's right, this batch of lip balm was purchased by your servant girl from Moonlight Workshop, and she specially asked the shopkeeper of Moonlight Workshop to add saffron powder into the lip balm. Some, so it caused her miscarriage!"

The old lady slapped the table angrily, and shouted: "Mr. Xu! How dare you do such a vicious thing!"

Mrs. Xu knelt down with a "plop", her delicate face paled with shock.

She said anxiously: "Mother, you have misunderstood my concubine. I used the lip balm from Yuesefang and thought it was good, so I asked Lily to buy some back home. The balm was mixed with saffron powder, which caused my sister to drink it. Miscarriage...the concubine really doesn't know anything about these things!"

Wen immediately retorted with red eyes: "Sister, Lily is your personal servant girl. Without your instigation, how would she have the audacity to do such a thing of murdering her master? You... why do you even have a baby girl who has not been pregnant for two months?" The children are not spared, my sister thinks that she has respected you all these years in the mansion, why are you, why..."

As she spoke, Wen couldn't help but shed tears one by one.

Mrs. Xu shook her head and denied, "Sister, believe me, I heard that you are pregnant, I am so happy to have a new baby in the house, how could I want to cause you to have a miscarriage!"

Lin Qingrou supported the weeping Wen Shi, and asked angrily: "Then how do you explain what Lily did!"

"Here, Lily..."

Mrs. Xu raised her head to look at Lily, their eyes met for a moment, Lily suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady.

"Old madam, this matter has nothing to do with the madam, it's all up to the maidservant alone. Since the third lady became pregnant, the prime minister would often rest in the Ming Garden, and the maidservant often waited for the prime minister until late at night, looking disappointed and sad. The madam was sad, so she thought of causing the third madam to have a miscarriage, so that the prime minister could often come to Youlan Garden to accompany the madam, slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die..."

Mrs. Xu looked at Lily in astonishment, her shoulders trembled slightly, her lips opened and closed several times, and then she reluctantly said: "Lily, you, you... how dare you do such a thing, you..."

Lily burst into tears, and kowtowed to Mrs. Xu again and again.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you, I beg old lady not to blame Madam, it's all the fault of my servant, I deserve to die..."

Xu bit her lip, with disappointment and reluctance on her face.

Mrs. Xu took a deep breath, kowtowed heavily to the old lady, raised her head, straightened her back, and said word by word: "My sister's miscarriage is all because I am not strict with my subordinates. Mother, please punish me. No matter how you punish the concubine, the concubine will never complain!"
