It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 373 Inquiry
"My lord, this old slave didn't tell a single lie, everything she said was absolutely true! That wine was really given to us by the bride! It was the little maid she brought with her! If you don't believe me, go to Just ask her!" Mother Qian was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground, her voice was interrupted, and she looked like she was about to lose her mind.

"Where were you at that time? How did you get the wedding wine from the bride?" Mu Liuyun motioned to the people next to her to pull her up first, "You don't have to be afraid of this, if you have anything to say, I'm still very reasonable .”

"My lord, we were at the back at that time, and the master and the young master were entertaining the guests at the front. People who do rough work like us would not be so blind to make do." Mother Qian said aggrievedly, "We are done with our work." , nothing to do, the banquet earlier that day was cooked by a chef invited by the master from outside, and he left when he was done, leaving us as helpers to clean up.

There are some things that can’t be used up ahead, and there are more or less leftovers. We think it’s a waste to throw them away, so we thought about simply stewing them together and eating them. Just at this time, a little maid came, and she looked pretty. Said it was the maid next to the young lady, the young lady said that we have worked hard, and gave us some wedding wine to rejoice.

We were actually a little confused, but after all, it was given by the young lady, so we couldn’t be ignorant, so we quickly thanked him, and happily kept it, and then Mama Shen went to call Mama Chen over, and that’s how it happened thing……"

"At that time, was there anyone else in the kitchen yard besides you? Did the little maid only bring a jug of wine and give it to you, or was there more than just a jug of wine, and everyone else also had a share?"

"Go back to your lord, we have it." After being chased by Mu Liuyun and asking a few questions, Shen's mother calmed down a little bit, thinking about what happened that night carefully, "I remember that little girl that day Maid girl, she looks very good-looking, if she wasn't wearing a maid's clothes, I would have thought that some kind of eldest lady had lost her way and came to our kitchen by mistake!

After she entered the courtyard, she looked around, and then ran towards us, saying that it was the bride enjoying wine or something. "

After hearing her story, Mu Liuyun was not surprised at all. This answer was completely within her expectation.

"So, after talking for a long time, it's true that you left the back door that you were supposed to guard so well that night and went to drink and have fun with others, right?" Mu Liuyun smiled at Mrs. Chen, "Just now Who is denying this all the time?"

Sweat dripped down Mrs. Chen's cheeks. Seeing that Mu Liuyun had finished speaking, Yuan Jia walked towards her. She was so frightened that she hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord, please forgive me! My lord, please forgive me! This old slave knows I was wrong Just now, the old slave didn’t intend to deceive the adults, but the old slave thought that although I went to have a drink with others that day, it didn’t delay anything. I asked someone to guard the back door for me, so I must not Something will go wrong because of this."

"Who did you ask to guard you?" Mu Liuyun asked.

"He!" Mrs. Chen hurriedly stretched out her hand and pointed to the boy named Du Zhong just now, "My name is Du Zhong, this guy guarded the back door for me! He promised me to be good, so I left with Mother Shen." , never leave an empty door unattended!"

"Oh?" Mu Liuyun looked at the boy again, "So, you have been guarding the back door since then? Why didn't you mention this paragraph just now, and just wanted to talk about the two little maids peeking at the bride?"

"No! I didn't deliberately leave it aside!" Du Zhong is not very old. Although he handles things quickly, he still has a childlike heart after all. This is quite similar to Xiao Wuer. When he encounters something that he is misunderstood, he answers without thinking, "I promised Mother Chen to guard the back door for her for a while, but she never told me that she ran out to drink!

When I was called by Chen's mother to guard the back door that day, she told me that she had something to do with Shen's mother, and she would come back as soon as she went, and asked me to guard her for a while, but she didn't say it would take so long! "

"You mean, you didn't keep guarding the back door, so you don't know when this mother Chen went back?" Mu Liuyun understood Du Zhong's meaning, and asked him to confirm.

"That's right!" Du Zhong immediately nodded, "Later, the villain was called to help with work! I helped Chen's mother guard for a while, and I thought she would come back soon, so it should be fine. That's it, let's go to work!

I thought about this matter. When Mother Chen was supposed to guard the back door, she asked me to help hold it up for a while, and then ran away by herself, so I didn't dare to ask afterward, for fear that it would be bad for people to hear. "

Mu Liuyun nodded to him, turned his head and said to Yuan Jia first: "Brother Yuan, we can't take back what we said before. Although twenty sticks can't be less, but this woman is also old and has a strong body." Eighty percent is not good enough, you need to be more careful with your strength, let her learn a lesson, and improve her memory, don't make a good or bad fight, it will kill her!"

"Don't worry about pushing the official! I won't save it!" Yuan Jia responded bluntly, strode forward, grabbed that Mrs. Chen by the back collar, and took her aside.

That Mrs. Chen was lifted up effortlessly by Yuan Jia, her feet were flopping about a foot off the ground, crying for mercy, Mu Liuyun watched her being dragged away by Yuan Jia, From the beginning to the end, he had nothing else to say except begging for mercy, so he didn't focus on that, and returned to Du Zhong.

"Who called you to go to work that day?" She asked again.

"I was called away by Sun De." Du Zhong pointed to the short-spoken boy who was not far away from him, and who had some dealings with Mu Liuyun and the others before.

Sun De didn't expect that his name would be mentioned suddenly, and his face turned red all of a sudden, "I, I, I" for a long time, without saying a second different word.

"Don't be in a hurry, let's talk later!" Mu Liuyun motioned him.

Sun De blushed and held back for a long time, took several breaths, and finally calmed down a little.

"Sun De, is what Du Zhong said true? Did you ask him to help with the work that night?" Mu Liuyun asked him.

"I, I, I can't remember!" Sun De stammered, "That night, the night was messy, I was looking for this, and I was looking for that, how could I remember, remember! "I called, maybe I didn't."
