The girl who wears fast

Chapter 46 The Prime Minister's Tool Man Stepwife (46)

"Msister! Why did you ask me to come here?" Qin Mei's delicate and clear voice came from outside, and she walked into the hall with a smile after a while.

"So it's a family banquet? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I want the kitchen to add more dishes. I don't know what a good day it is today? Suddenly there is a family banquet?" Qin Mei just glanced at it out of the corner of her eye. Looking at the dishes on the table, he asked suspiciously.

Obviously she didn't look carefully at the appearance of the dish, otherwise she wouldn't have said such a thing.

After Qin Mei asked a few words, she greeted Luo Changqing and Xu Shichu.

"What kind of family banquet are you having? Take a good look at the food on the table with your eyes!" Luo Rui couldn't help saying angrily when she saw that she was still looking stupid.

When Qin Mei heard her husband's reproachful tone, she pouted her mouth unhappily and looked at the food seriously. She cried out in surprise when she saw it: "What's going on? How did the people in the kitchen make such things? Do pigs eat it?"

"So the young lady also knows that these things are for pigs?" Xu Shichu sneered and glanced at Qin Mei, "Then why did they send them to my yard? Or does the young lady think that I am only worthy of eating pig food?"

Qin Mei's anger that was about to rise was extinguished immediately, and she denied it with a panicked face: "No, I, I don't know who sent this kind of food to your yard, it must be the servant's own initiative!"

Then she tugged at Luo Rui's sleeve and hurriedly explained: "Master, I really didn't do this, you must believe me..."

In fact, her reaction is not self-inflicted. After all, if she really didn't order someone to do it, the first reaction should be to ask the reason of the matter and then punish the culprit, instead of trying to clear the suspicion on herself. .

"Ms. Qin! Do you think I'm a fool?" Luo Rui said through gritted teeth. He didn't expect his wife to be so stupid, even asking for trouble was so simple and full of loopholes.

"Master, the people from the kitchen are here." Shuqi called all the people from the kitchen.

When Qin Mei saw it, her face turned pale, and sweat began to ooze from her forehead.

"Trial!" Luo Changqing said to Shuqi expressionlessly, "If you refuse to tell the truth, you will be severely punished."

Luo Changqing's handsome face was like frost and snow, and his aura was intimidating. Not to mention the servants, even Qin Mei and Luo Rui couldn't resist his anger, they clenched their fists to hold back the trembling.

The only exception was Xu Shichu, as if she didn't see Luo Changqing's face at all, she sat aside, drank tea slowly, and interrogated the kitchen staff while reading a book.

Luo Changqing looked down at her who seemed to be not in the same world as other people, feeling helpless, guilty, and a little bit unwilling without knowing it.

He actually didn't understand Xu Shichu. She was good at business, enjoys life, has an exquisite mind, knows the times and has a cold temper. Her natal family has long been left behind by her, and except for her little nephew, everyone else seems to be He didn't pay attention to it.

Even his nominal husband is the same, she treats herself no differently from others, neither humble nor overbearing, even if she wants to take advantage of his power, it is a fair deal, the interests are clearly divided, and if she does not take advantage of him, she will never let him He took advantage of it.

Don't you really have no charm?Luo Changqing rarely began to doubt himself. He thought he was not bad, and he was not very old. He was already a high-ranking man in his prime.

So why didn't my stepwife have the same admiration for me as other women?Although he even married his son, there are always women who want to throw themselves into his arms... Why doesn't she like a man like himself?

If Xu Shichu knew Luo Changqing's thoughts at this time, he would definitely sneer, men are so cheap, obviously he himself warned others not to have unreasonable thoughts about him, but when they really have no thoughts about him, An An When he was far away from him, he began to wonder why others didn't cling to him. He really felt good about himself and was so cheap.

Xu Shichu looked at Luo Changqing suddenly, Luo Changqing was stabbed by her sharp eyes, and then pretended to move away as if nothing had happened. For some reason, he felt a little guilty about Xu Shichu.

Fortunately, Shuqi saved his embarrassment: "Master, the interrogation is over."

"What came out of the trial?" Luo Changqing asked after regaining his poise as a prime minister.

"After interrogation, it was the chef Zhang who took a sum of money from Hongxiu, the maidservant next to the young lady, and said that the meals for the lady would be lowered in the future, implying that the step-wife should not be favored by the master, and the young lady is the prime minister. The mistress of the family, Mrs. Zhang, sees profit and forgets righteousness, so she uses the scraps eliminated in the kitchen every day to make meals for her step-wife..." Shu Qi said one by one.

"No! It's not a servant girl. A servant girl has never done these things!" A servant girl next to Qin Mei immediately knelt down and defended in a panic.
"My servant has no grievances with my stepmother, how could I do such a thing? It must be the Zhang family who wronged my servant. The servant had some disputes with her before, and now she is coming to bite me! I beg the master, the young master..."

Presumably this was that Hongxiu, Xu Shichu looked at her with interest, but she was articulate, and she argued logically.

And Qin Mei over there had already started to tremble, covered in cold sweat in panic, she stared at Hong Xiu, only hoped that Hong Xiu would be sensible, that she would take the blame and not betray her.

"It's you! I haven't used up the silver you gave me, so I put it in my room. By the way, the handkerchief wrapped with the silver is also yours, with a sleeve word embroidered on it! Who else in the house would know Embroider this character?" Mrs. Zhang, who had been beaten with a board, immediately retorted fiercely when she heard Hong Xiu's words.

She hated Hongxiu to death now, if Hongxiu hadn't bought her with money, how could she have suffered such a crime?Now he can still be her chef.

Hearing her words, Hongxiu panicked even more, and without caring about anything else, she begged and looked at her master Qin Mei, hoping that Qin Mei could save her.

But how dare Qin Mei speak for her?She was too busy to take care of herself, so she bit her lip and stared at Hongxiu, shaking her head cryptically.

Hong Xiu's face turned pale immediately, and his eyes suddenly became fixed, as if he had made some decision, and Qin Mei was so anxious that she opened her mouth and said a few names to her silently.

When Hongxiu saw the shape of her lips, her heart was ashamed and she lost all vitality. She lay down on the ground and said, "It was done by my servant... This servant can't understand that the step-wife is embarrassing the young lady, so I made up my mind to trip up the step-wife. .”

Xu Shichu sarcastically said: "You said that I embarrassed Young Madam, did I embarrass her because I didn't agree to give her the flowers for free? You are a very loyal girl..."

However, Qin Mei seemed to have grasped at straws, and scolded Hongxiu with an angry look: "How could you do such a thing? Step-wife is something you, a little girl, can handle? Do you still think I am the master?" gone?"

Then she said to Luo Rui with righteous indignation: "Sir, you must punish these bullies!"
