After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 67 Interrogation
It rained all night last night, drenching the entire Ercheng Mansion, so this morning, even the ground is still dark, but it is not very convenient to walk on.

Ruan Yuyi went back to the courtyard, and after a short rest, Mu Xiang came forward to report that there was something to be said about the hairpin.

"Where did you find it?" She looked away from the gray rain outside the window and asked.

Mu Xiang came up with a blue veil, which was folded into a long strip, obviously wrapping something.Ruan Yuyi took it and unfolded the veil, revealing a butterfly-shaped silver hairpin inside.

She set her gaze on Mu Xiang, with a questioning look in her eyes.

"Miss Hui," Mu Xiang hesitated for a while, and then said, "I found the thing under Qingdai's pillow." Just now a few maidservants gathered and asked, no matter who they were, they all denied it, saying they had never seen it before.Naturally, Mu Xiang could only ask Mu Ling to search together.

The last time when she discarded the lychees, she found out that the person was Qing Dai through insinuations, and she didn't want to say anything.But this time, since I have more doubts about Qing Dai, I searched for her first.

I thought it would take a lot of work, but I didn't want to really discover something from Qingdai.

In addition to being a little sullen in Mu Xiang's heart, more of it is "as expected" plain.

Of course, she didn't want dirty hands and feet to appear in the yard, but she couldn't let it go.Looking at it now, if Qing Dai really took the things without authorization, as long as they are placed in such a conspicuous place, she is probably not a repeat offender.

Ruan Yuyi put the things aside, lowered her eyes, making it hard for people to see the emotion in her eyes.She ordered softly, "Go and call Qing Dai."

Mu Xiang agreed and withdrew.

It didn't take long before Qing Dai knelt down in front of her, "I've met Young Madam." She didn't seem to know why she was brought here, her voice was crisp.Her face is thinly applied with makeup and powder, it is not stunning, but it has a certain beauty.

Ruan Yuyi sized her eyes up and said slowly, "Do you know this thing?" She held the silver hairpin in her hand, and the wood spirit on one side took the thing and handed it to Qing Dai.

Seeing this hairpin, Qing Dai's heart skipped a beat, and she glanced at the people in front of her quietly, knowing that the situation was not right.So he stabilized his mind and replied, "I don't know the servant girl."

Ruan Yuyi happily played with the sleeves, caressing the embroidery on it.She didn't ask directly, but instead said, "I remember your father died young, but what difficulties are there in the family?"

In fact, this hairpin is not worth a few taels of silver, and there are clearly more valuable hairpins in her makeup box, she can't figure out why she only took this one if it was really just greed.

However, if you urgently need something to take back to subsidize the family, it makes sense to move your mind.

"Miss, why did you say that?" Qing Dai used to work in a big mansion, with many masters around her, so she often saw these intrigues.Listening to it now, I vaguely understand why she is here.

Mu Xiang continued, "Last night, I found that Miss's silver hairpin was missing, and I couldn't find it everywhere. I found something under your pillow today. How do you explain it?"

Qing Dai opened her mouth slightly, her eyes were full of bewilderment. "Miss, there is no servant. You have to trust the servant!" She stepped forward on her knees, grabbed Ruan Yuyi's clothes, and said in a mournful voice.

Seeing her turn her face away, she pulled back her clothes.Qingdai knew that although this young lady looked soft-hearted and never harshly criticized the servants in the courtyard, she had a good idea and would not allow anyone to bully her.

Qing Dai thinks that this matter is not just related to a hairpin, this one is more like using this to clean up the unfaithful people.But she didn't think it was a good time to leave, so she tried her best to pretend to be pitiful.

Tears even brewed in an instant.

Ruan Yuyi remained expressionless, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this hairpin can't grow legs, so he ran to you by himself. Don't be afraid, as long as you explain the whole story honestly, you will be dealt with lightly."

Qing Dai desperately shook her head, almost shaking her bun.She thought she was smart, so how could she believe Ruan Yuyi's words, she only said this to trick her.

Ruan Yuyi looked down at her, only to see that her eyes were tearful, and she looked pitiful and innocent.

She couldn't bear it, and sighed, "I'll allow you another day to think about what to say, if you still can't figure it out, just pretend that I didn't ask you to come here that day, just go back where you came from."

Hearing this, Qingdai's mind suddenly jumped out of those few days in the dental clinic.These places where business is done, and where they are going to be shown to the masters, are naturally bright and clean, but the place where they are imprisoned behind the scenes is filthy.

The people in charge there didn't treat them as human beings, they beat and scolded them at least, and they were flogged to death in severe cases.Qingdai can let go of her figure, and the person in charge pointed to her body and face to buy a good price, so she escaped more severe beatings than others.

She always believed that the rest of her life would be a rich life, how could she go back?

She can't go back!
What's more, she was kicked out of her last family.Yes, she approached Mrs. Cheng's young lady with impure thoughts, but if she didn't do it, she didn't do it. If she admits it now, she's taking the blame for others. There's no such reason in the world.

She couldn't figure out who would frame her.She was thinking, confused.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Ruan Yuyi waved her hand and said, "Back off. Go back and think about it."

Qing Dai didn't want to go back like this, she was about to say something, but she saw Ruan Yuyi got up and went to the inner room.Mu Xiang said coldly, "Miss Qingdai, please stop."

It is really impossible to stay now, Qing Dai glanced at the inner room unwillingly before leaving.

After Mu Xiang closed the door, she also went to Ruan Yuyi's side.

She lowered her head and fiddled with Yubai's fingertips, she caught a glimpse of Muxiang coming in from the corner of her eye, paused her hand, and put it down, "Tell me, is Qingdai not a lie?" Although she was the one who took the silver hairpin, you can see her look The appearance does not seem to be fake.

"Miss, just wait a little longer, when she can't bear the pressure in her heart, she will confess to Miss," Mu Xiang said in a deep voice, "If she still refuses to admit it, then just send her off."

Before Qing Dai came, there had never been such a thing in the courtyard.She didn't believe that it was such a coincidence, when Qing Dai came, the servant girl next to her was moved, was she going to steal it for her?
Mu Ling sneered, "Miss, I don't know, you gave the lychees to the slaves two days ago, didn't you? This Qingdai, she didn't move a mouthful, but she was thrown—"

Suddenly, someone covered her mouth, snorted twice, and was about to turn her head to get angry, but seeing Mu Xiang's eyes, she realized that she had made a slip of the tongue.

Seeing that she understood, Mu Xiang let go of her hand, and said, "Miss, what the wood spirit means is that one bite has not been touched, it has been kept, and it has not broken until now." Miss Hope didn't hear it.

She stared at Ruan Yuyi's face, hoping to see something from it.
