Chapter 78 078: No Conditions, Even Creating Conditions (Second Update)
Chang Xi glanced over coldly, thinking that if Nanny Luo kept hiding, she would be impolite.

Nanny Luo didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately said, "But he heard a voice, and it was indeed a woman."

woman?

Now not only Chang Xi was stunned, even Nanny Luo didn't quite understand the logic behind it, which was why she was hesitant before, because she really didn't understand which woman Chang Madam was blocking?Let the other party continue to make trouble against her so persistently.

Chang Xi slowly stroked it from the beginning, from the first banana apricot to Fang Fan and the little girl who surfaced now, it seems that they have only one purpose, which is to get her kicked out of Jiefu. Of course, if they can get her Life, I believe they may not have done it.

Thinking of this, a look of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes, and she tapped her arm lightly. After a long while, she finally said, "Nurse, send the person you sent to check on the apricot and follow up on that little girl." Here, I want to ask them myself."

Nanny Luo frowned, "This is not easy? Because they are rough envoys and servants, they are not qualified to serve in the backyard..."

Mrs. Chang was giving her a problem. It is not impossible to secretly bring people into the backyard, but if someone finds out, she will have to eat and walk away. The government has always been very strict about these matters.

So, at this time, she looked at Chang Xi with a troubled face, "It's not that I want to shirk, but it's not easy to bring people into the backyard. It would be bad if the Fourth Madam knew about it."

Besides, she is not Nanny Zhong, so she doesn't have that much power in the backyard.

When Chang Xi heard this, she knew that Nanny Luo was worried, she pondered for a while, and said directly, "Mammy just arrange for them to come to the backyard first, I have been to the fourth lady's Minglu."

Nanny Luo saw Chang Xi's confident look, so she stopped worrying, "Okay, I'll inform them right away."

Chang Xi nodded, then went out from the inner room, tidied up her clothes, and then went to Qin's yard.

Today, Qin's energy is good. It seems that the tonics she drank before have had some effect. At least her dark circles are not so heavy, which shows that her sleep quality should have improved.

"Why did you come so late today?"

Chang Xi whispered embarrassingly, "Yesterday I saw that the travel notes were interesting, but I went to bed late, so I woke up late today? Madam, please don't blame me, I will definitely change it next time." With this problem..."

When Qin heard this, it wasn't a big deal, so she smiled and patted her hand, "What are you talking about so seriously? It's as if I won't even allow you to sleep for a while, and people who don't know will say How vicious am I..."

"Ma'am." Chang Xi hurriedly interrupted, "If you say that again, it will be my fault."

Seeing the nervousness on her face, Mrs. Qin stopped teasing her and talked about other topics.

Chang Xi saw that Mrs. Qin was in a good mood, so she took the opportunity and said, "Ma'am, I have smelled the sweet-scented osmanthus in the yard a few times before, it is sweet and sweet, and it smells really good. Well, it’s beautiful when it’s open, but it’s not as fragrant as this sweet-scented osmanthus...”

"If you like, you can transplant two plants into your small yard. I plant a lot in the mansion, and I like to smell this fragrance." Qin said very generously.

"Then I thank Madam here." Chang Xi hastily thanked her.

Seeing how courteous and thoughtful she is now, Mrs. Qin seems to be right to say that she has a body and energy. The current Mrs. Chang looks elegant and majestic, how can she look like a person with mud legs?

She motioned for her to get up, and said casually, "Turn back and ask Mother Luo to go to the outer courtyard and ask the two young men to come and transplant."

"Yes, I'll tell Nanny Luo later, I'll take care of things today, and tomorrow morning my small yard will be filled with the fragrance of flowers."

Qin Shi was amused by her cute and satisfied look when she said this, this Chang Shi is not a greedy person, but this is good.

With Qin's words, Chang Xi let the two rough envoys to the backyard openly, and led them to pick two nice-looking sweet-scented osmanthus trees in Qin's yard, and began to transplant them.

With this matter, in the afternoon, she had an excuse not to go to Qin's side, but personally directed the two servants to dig holes and plant trees. She was so busy that no one could tell She has selfishness, except for Nanny Luo who tsk-tsk a few times.

Nanny Luo was thinking about it, but she never thought that Chang Xi's excuse was to dig flowers and trees in the Qin family's yard. How could she be so courageous?Aren't you afraid that the Qin family will blame you?

Anyway, she couldn't keep up with Chang Xi's brain circuit now, so she didn't think too much about it, and just obeyed orders, and immediately put on a bad posture.

Chang Xi used the excuse of planting flowers and trees to send out all the rough servants and maids in the small courtyard, and now only she, Dongli, Xiaotao, Luo Mama and the two rough servants are left in the small courtyard.

Looking up at the scorching sun, she ordered Dongli and Xiaotao to make two pots of tea, and then brought some food, and then ordered the two servants to rest for a while.

The two of them received private orders from Nanny Luo, knowing that Mrs. Chang, who was so beautiful that she was in front of her, wanted to ask questions, so the two of them quickly put down their tools and stood aside politely, not daring to look at Chang Xi more. I'm afraid that if I offend Chang Xi, I won't be able to eat and walk around.

Seeing the stiff look of the two, Chang Xi knew that the two had learned the rules well, so he was quite satisfied, so he said gently, "Drink some tea and have a snack first, and then it's not too late to talk."

The older of the two hurriedly said, "Miss Chang, the younger one is used to doing these errands, and I don't feel tired. If you have any questions, just ask."

Chang Xi knew that these two people couldn't let go in front of her, so she decided to get down to business first, and when she wasn't here later, these two people would eat and drink freely.

Having made up her mind, she asked directly, not politely, starting with Banana and Apricot.

"Did there be no rumors in the Nashi Mansion from the very beginning, or were the rumors started and then suppressed?"

This is a question of order, and it sounds irrelevant, but since Chang Xi asked it, it means it is still important.

This time it was still the older manservant who answered the question. It seems that he should be the one who went to check the apricots. He pondered for a while and said, "It was the first to start the rumors, and the last to be suppressed. At that time, when I was young, I found out that there were a lot of gossip about bananas and apricots in that mansion..."

"What did you say? You learn."

Then the older male servant said while recalling, "Some people say that Jiao Xing will flatter and climb high branches, and some people say that Jiao Xing didn't serve the eldest girl wholeheartedly. By the way, there is another voice saying that Jiao Xing The apricot seller seeks glory..."

"The seller seeks glory?" Chang Xi grasped the key word and immediately asked, "Tell me in detail."

Banana Xing served Shi Shi, and she was able to be trusted by Shi Shi when she was able to be a dowry maid. Later, after Shi Shi died, she stayed in Jiefu, so the seller's begging for Rong seemed unreasonable. But combined with what Nanny Luo said before, I feel that there should be a lot of articles in it.

"There aren't many people in Shi's mansion who said it, and there will be no such voice soon," said the older male servant, "I tried to get close to the servant of Shi's mansion who said this, but no one could say specifically what it was. Who, anyway, there is such a rumor that has spread in a small area."

Chang Xi understood that among these few rumors about Banana and Apricot, only this one was the most lethal, so it was this rumor that was silenced first, so what is this person afraid of?
What I was afraid of was that this rumor would reach Mrs. Shi Liu's Madam Cai's ears, because Mrs. Shi was Mrs. Shi Liu's daughter, and that person was afraid of arousing Cai's suspicion. Thinking of this, she suddenly had a terrible idea.

She suddenly stopped her thought, because this thought is very dangerous at the moment, and she is not strong enough to protect herself now, so it is not appropriate to dig deep into it.

Seeing that Chang Xi's face had changed, Nanny Luo asked worriedly, "Miss Chang, what do you think is wrong? You tell me, and we will investigate again. I don't believe we can't find any traces..."

Chang Xi's expression soon returned to normal, she casually found an excuse to prevaricate, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it, I just feel sorry for the first wife of the Ninth Young Master Shi Shi, if she knows it, she must be very unwilling."

Seeing that what Chang Xi said was sincere, Mother Luo believed it. She thought that it was okay for Mrs. Chang to be naive sometimes, but how could she not be reconciled if Mrs. Shi was dead?If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for trusting the wrong person.

Chang Xi saw that Nanny Luo was not suspicious, so she felt relieved a little. As for the other rumors that were also banned, it should be to blur this lethal rumor.

The conclusion drawn after such deciphering was that Jiao Xing had indeed betrayed the Shi family, and the new master she took refuge in was also a member of the Shi family.

She once again dragged out the children of Master Shi Liu, the head of the Shi family, to think about them one by one, and then narrowed down the scope, and soon locked on one person.

So, she asked the older male servant again, "After Banana Xing was slapped, what are the masters in the house doing?"

This question was asked extensively, and the older male servant also had a bitter face at this time, because Master Shi Liu really had many children, and he didn't know which one to start with for a while.

"Let's start with Madam Shi Liu and the daughters of the Shi family."

Hearing that Chang Xi was referring to a specific person this time, he hurriedly said, "Madam Shi Liu didn't do anything unusual, she continued to take care of the general affairs, Miss Shi Er has left the cabinet, she is not in the mansion, as for Shi San The girl and Miss Shi Si went to the temple to offer incense, saying that it was to pray for the deceased Mrs. Jiu Shao. I ate two more bowls."

"Which young wives of the Shi family also went to the temple?"

"The first young lady and the third young lady also went there that day, but I didn't hear that they got any lottery."

At first glance, the actions of the female family members of the Shi family are normal, but Chang Xi smells something different.

"Is it possible that the banana and apricot have gradually come out of the firewood room since they came back from the temple?"

The older male servant immediately realized, "Don't tell me, Mrs. Chang, I haven't thought about it yet, it's true. Since this time I offered incense and asked for a good sign, the matter of banana and apricot has gradually passed. The Sixth Madam didn't yell anymore to kill her."

At this moment, he looked at Chang Xi differently. Although Mrs. Chang didn't come in person, she only asked about small details that he ignored.

So far, Chang Xi got the answer she wanted about Jiao Xing, so she looked at the younger manservant, "Tell me about the person who sat in the carriage when Jiao Xing met the little girl that day. "

The younger manservant scratched the back of his head, and said with a naive face, "That day when I was younger, I couldn't see the people in the carriage clearly, but I heard Jiao Xing call her a girl."

This is another detail that Nanny Luo didn't explain clearly before. Chang Xi asked, "Are you sure you heard her calling her a girl? By the way, do you call her the number one girl?"

The younger male servant didn't expect Chang Xi to ask so quickly, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, Banana Xing and a nun in the carriage are all calling girls..."

"Then did this girl talk?"

When asking this question, Chang Xi held his breath, which is very important.

The younger male servant didn't answer immediately, after a while, he said, "At that time, I heard her say a few words, the voice was very young, it should be a young girl..."

"If you were to hear that voice again, would you still be able to hear it?"

The younger manservant didn't hesitate this time, and replied with a sure face, "Yes, although the girl in the carriage doesn't talk much, her voice is very distinctive. If you hear it again, you will definitely recognize her." come out."

Nanny Luo was at a loss when she heard it. The difficulty of listening to people is not so high. After all, the scope is too wide. Even if the Shi family is locked, there are so many mistresses, whether they are married or not, and the word "girl" seems to have a chance to call. Export, this is excluded one by one, the difficulty is not small.

"Miss Chang, it's hard to find someone who is worthy..."

She tried to persuade Chang Xi not to start from this aspect, how much would it cost, after all, it is not easy for people to sneak into Shi's mansion.

It's no use just sneaking into the mansion, you have to find a way to get closer to the master, otherwise where will you recognize someone?
What's more, this is a rough servant, so it is even more difficult to sneak into the backyard.

Not everyone can be as unconditional as Chang Niangzi, and it is necessary to create conditions.

Chang Xi smiled calmly and confidently, "Don't worry, Mammy, I have my own opinion on this matter."

Nanny Luo was immediately aroused by these words, but looking at Chang Xi's appearance, she didn't seem to want to say more, so she could only think in her heart like a cat scratching.

Chang Xi got the answer she wanted, and then turned back to the back room, so that the two rude servants dared to eat and drink boldly.

"Miss Chang, do you have someone to suspect?"

In the end, unable to bear it any longer, Nanny Luo asked in a low voice.

Chang Xi just looked up at her, "Nurse, haven't you heard the saying that curiosity kills the cat?"

Nanny Luo's face flushed immediately, and then she wisely stopped asking.

Chang Xi was not in the mood to talk to Nanny Luo at this time, but was thinking about how to create an opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole.

But who knows, people are not as good as heaven.

Opportunities suddenly fell from the sky.
