It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 232 Backlash [Monthly pass of 200 plus more]

"Wait a minute," Yuan Mu raised his hand to signal the Second Madam Wu not to worry, "Second Madam, please bring the cook from the mansion and the servants who served the food that night, and we will interrogate them face to face."

The second lady agreed, and took a few people there. Shen Yu looked at Mu Liuyun, saw that Mu Liuyun gave him a sign, volunteered to follow the second lady Wu, and went to the kitchen with her to find someone.

Mu Liuyun was very satisfied with her reaction, turned his head and whispered to Jiang Jin, "Look, it's not bad that I have recruited a new apprentice, right?"

Jiang Jin sighed: "What are you doing? She's a girl..."

"That's right! If she wasn't a little girl, I wouldn't have accepted her!" Mu Liuyun whispered.

Jiang Jin really wanted to remind her to be careful and keep a distance, so as not to be criticized as the women she took in in the backyard of Mu's family.

But before he opened his mouth, he saw Yuan Mu sitting beside him calmly drinking tea from the corner of his eye, thinking about what he had said to him, and holding back the persuasion that had come to his lips.

Mu Liuyun also thought that Jiang Jin would say something else, but he didn't expect him to say nothing, and didn't continue to persuade himself to follow the rules like in the past, so he couldn't help being a little puzzled, and looked at him a few more times.

After a while, Mrs. Wu and Shen Yu both came back, and Shen Yu consciously went around and stood behind Mu Liuyun. That posture didn't look like a little apprentice, but it seemed to be a personal woman brought by Mu Liuyun. Like the guards, mighty and domineering.

"How is it?" Mu Liuyun turned his head to ask her.

"Everything is normal, and I didn't find anyone suspicious." She nodded to Mu Liuyun with a serious look.

Mrs. Wu brought back seven or eight people, one with an apron around her waist, a woman in her forties in the morning, she should be the cook of the Wu family. It looks red because it is roasting next to it.

Among the rest of them, there were two skinny servant girls with sallow skin, and a few servants who looked like servants.

These people probably didn't know why they were suddenly called out by the second lady. They were a little panicked and crowded together, as if standing like this could give each other a little more courage.

After the second lady brought them, she just let them stand in the yard without telling them anything, and just let the restless servants in the yard hang out like this. The servant girl, who looked a little Kong Wu, came late with a young woman in her twenties.

That young woman is thin and thin, different from Mrs. Wu who is covered in peony embroidery. She is dressed in plain white, her eyes are red and swollen, she looks like she just cried not long ago, she was brought here by the maid, and she saw Wu The second lady shrank slightly, her expression was sad and aggrieved, as if she still had a little fear.

"My lords, this is Qiniang, because Wu Rongzhi was the seventh one to take home and carry the concubine's room, so he was called Qiniang by him." Second Madam Wu didn't even glance at that Qiniang. Taking a glance, he said respectfully to Yuan Mu and Mu Liuyun.

Yuan Mu looked at Qiniang coldly and without warmth. Although he was handsome, he had a kind of coercion. When he looked over, Qiniang couldn't help shivering when she raised her eyes.

Mu Liuyun also sized up the woman, and then said to her: "You are Qiniang? Your master had a big banquet in the mansion before, and you were the company from beginning to end during the banquet?"

"Hui, Master Hui," Qiniang replied tremblingly, although she didn't know where the adults in front of her came from, but since the second lady called them that, she followed suit, "My I didn't go to Japan originally, and the master never asked me to come and serve him, but I haven't seen the master for a few days. It would be too embarrassing to have no one to save face, so I went on my own.

I went there and told the master that I would present a dance to the distinguished guests. The master agreed, and I danced a dance. The master was happy with it, so he stayed with me to drink and eat with him. "

While talking, she still kept her eyes on the second lady a few times, as if she wanted to see the other party's reaction.

It's a pity that the second lady just sat there with a calm face, without any emotional fluctuations. After Qiniang saw it, she gritted her silver teeth secretly, as if she was a little annoyed, but she didn't dare to show it. A little pitiful look.

How could this subtle expression of hers escape Mu Liuyun's eyes? Looking at the appearance of this concubine's room, she felt mixed emotions in her heart. ", Thinking of Wu Rongzhi's age and that dignified appearance, goosebumps all over his body were abruptly aroused, and then he felt that this woman was really stupid and hopeless.

Not to mention whether she had anything to do with Wu Rongzhi's death, and whether she would be implicated, at least now that Wu Rongzhi died, even if the family fell into the hands of the two wives, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu, only the two of them An individual can actually manage all the property in the family, and the eldest lady never leaves the Buddhist hall all year round, so the actual controller is the second wife Wu.

As a concubine in the family, according to Mrs. Wu's words, this Qiniang is still a maid of another family who committed herself to Wu Rongzhi, so she is a lowly concubine. If Wu Rongzhi is still alive, then pleasing the master is naturally her most important task. But now that Wu Rongzhi is dead, the life and fate of a lowly concubine are completely in the hands of his wife.

At this kind of time, she still has to show off in front of her wife in a weird way. I really don't know whether her head is filled with brains or tofu dregs.

"Let me ask you, since you went to perform the dance shortly after the banquet, and I heard that Wu Rongzhi also stayed in your room at night, why did a good-looking person, who had nothing to do in the first half of the night, suddenly die suddenly in the second half of the night? ?" Mu Liuyun sized her up with a half-smile, walked slowly around her, and asked slowly.

At first Qiniang saw Mu Liuyun's eyes rolling around her body, and she was still a little bit awkward. Now that she heard this question, she panicked and fell on the ground in a hurry: "Your Excellency, you are wronged! I don't know why the master would suddenly What happened, after the banquet, before the master returned to my room, he talked with the second lady in the corridor for a long time, and then went back to the room, and there were no people in the room in the middle of the night. What happened in the meantime , I don’t even know!”
