Chapter 238
Xiaohui hurriedly bowed her head and replied: "If you go back to the lord, the bird's nest servant has never passed through other people's hands after taking it from the dining room."

As soon as these words came out, Wanyue and Yinqi were stunned for a moment, and it seemed that the problem came from the people in the dining room.

The two of them turned their attention to the steward of the dining room and the three guys. They were stared at by the two masters in a daze, not understanding what went wrong with yesterday's bird's nest.

The steward of the dining room kept frowning. He was very careful about the meals of the masters in the mansion. He was afraid of following in the footsteps of the previous steward of the dining room. Unexpectedly, something happened, but he didn't know who had the heart. People plotted the disaster in their dining room again.

After the air was cold and silent for a while, Yin Qi asked with a sullen face: "Everyone in the dining room should think carefully about who has touched the bird's nest last night, and whether there is any suspicious behavior among them!"

The people in the dining room were stunned. After a few people thought deeply, the suspicious people were probably the maids who came to fetch food from all sides. They were all confidantes in charge of the dining room, and it was impossible for them to do anything to murder the prince. matter of heirs.

One of the guys faltered and replied: "Returning to the prince, there is nothing suspicious about the servants in the dining room. The only suspicious thing is probably the time when the girls who came to pick up the food stayed in the dining room yesterday." longer than usual."

"Oh!" Yin Qi wanted to raise his hand and slam the table, but there was no table next to him, only Wan Yue was sitting beside him.

But Wanyue didn't say anything, after all her personal maid Ying'er was still standing below, so she could only pretend to be nonchalant.

After Yinqi yelled, no one answered, Yinqi sighed in his heart, this matter seemed to be pushed to the maids who took meals from all sides, which made Yinqi feel a little mixed, it seemed really Some people are dissatisfied with the children in Yue'er and Rui'er's womb.

Yinqi then asked sharply: "Tell me, who are the people who stayed in the dining room longer than usual when picking up meals yesterday!"

Several people in the dining room looked at each other, and then they had different opinions, but what they said did not include Ying'er and Shuang'er, the close maid of Fujin Suxin.

Ying'er breathed a sigh of relief, and after listening to the words of the people in the dining room, Wanyue approached Yinqi and said in a low voice: "My lord, since Ying'er is no longer suspected, why don't we let her go back to Xinuang Pavilion first."

But Yinqi waved his hand towards Wanyue: "No hurry, let her stay here for a while, it won't be too late to go back after this matter is over."

Seeing Yinqi's appearance, Wanyue still didn't understand, but she was still a little shocked. It seems that the prince still has some grudges against Tong Jiaruier in his heart.

Wanyue thought to herself, so she didn't reply to Yinqi's words anymore. After Yinqi coughed, she turned to look at the steward Yan next to her: "Go and send the Ma Jiashi of the side Fujin and the other five princesses from Dongnuange The maids are all called."

Butler Yan was really busy this morning. He ran back and forth several times in the east courtyard and west courtyard. Hearing Yinqi's words, housekeeper Yan responded quickly: "Yes, I'll do it now, slave!"

Soon, Mrs. Ma Jia of the Fujin came with her personal maid. When she saw Wanyue, Ma Jia Yunzhao was very shocked, and saw the five handsome maids of Dongnuan Pavilion standing in the small courtyard of the East Wing. Ying'er, Di Fujin's personal maid, and several staff from the dining room were also there.

Ma Jiayunzhao bowed to Yinqi and Wanyue and said, "My concubine pays my respects to my lord and my wife Fujin!"

Yin Qi slightly raised his hand towards her, and then ordered Housekeeper Yan to move a stool for her to sit on. The other five members of Dong Nuan Pavilion also followed and stood behind Wan Yue.

Wanyue squinted her eyes and looked at the people standing below. The expressions on each face were different, but most of them were at a loss, while Zhang Jiazhuyue looked calm, and Wanyue looked her up and down. Fan, I was a little worried in my heart, Jia Zhuyue and Tong Jiaruier had nothing to do with each other, so she shouldn't need to harm Tong Jiaruier, right?

Although Wanyue was puzzled, she still turned her head to Yinqi with her usual expression and said, "My lord, everyone is here, so you should ask!"

Yin Qi nodded, looked at the people kneeling in a row below, and after a moment of silence, he began to ask questions.

"What were you doing when you were picking up your meals yesterday?"

Except for Ma Jiayunzhao's personal maid who was a little confused, the other maids in Dongnuange were also a little dazed, not understanding what happened. After all, their masters are also some distance away from Tong Gege's house, although they are all in the East courtyard. , but their masters are all in the East Nuan Pavilion, but Tong Gege is in the East Wing, and everyone can't hear the movement in Tong Gege's room very clearly.

But looking at it like this, it seems that Tong Gege has been yelling in the room, and he keeps chanting about the child, which seems to be a miscarriage. Who killed Tong Gege? Whoever did it, no one dared to speak first.

Seeing that no one answered, Yinqi was quite annoyed in his heart. These servants are so silent, do they want him to take responsibility for serving them!

Yinqi's face turned cold immediately, and he yelled at several people: "Don't you know what you did when you took the meal?! If no one answers, each will be punished twenty times!"

Everyone panicked when they heard this, and Yuxia didn't care about Wuya Yunhui's exhortations, and took the lead to answer: "Returning to the prince and Fujin, when the servant girl went to the dining room to get food yesterday, she chatted with Miss Ying'er from Xinuang Pavilion for two minutes. The sentence came back."

Wu Yayunhui frowned at the obedient words, wondering when Yuxia, a lowly servant girl, had clinged to Yinger from Xinuang Pavilion, but she didn't ask, but looked at Yuxia with a sad face.

Ying'er nodded towards Wanyue and Yinqi, and then responded: "It is indeed as Sister Yuxia said, we each received our meals in the dining room and left."

The rest of the maids insisted on their own opinions, but everyone seemed to have someone to testify. When it was Zhang Jiazhuyue's turn, she hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "My lord, when the servants are taking meals, they are just the fellows in the dining room. After chatting a few words about what food to prepare for the master, I never asked anything else."

Judging from Wanyue's experience, Zhang Jiazhuyue was obviously lying. When she spoke just now, her eyes unconsciously looked to the right, which was obviously a reaction when she was lying.

But Yinqi was at a loss when he heard it, as if he had fallen into a dead end again, the dining room shifted the responsibility to the maids who took the meals, and the maids seemed to have nothing suspicious, Yinqi suddenly felt that the first two big .

The truth of this matter must be found out no matter what, and it is not really to give Tong Jiaruier an explanation, but to prevent vicious people from causing trouble in the backyard, Yin Qi raised his hand to support his forehead for a while, hesitated for a moment, and decided to let people spot check The house of the people in the courtyard to see if there is anything suspicious in it.

"Let people search the houses of these maids and servants, and don't miss any corner!" Yin Qi gave another order to Butler Yan.

The corner of Steward Yan's mouth twitched, and after replying, he went to the front yard and asked the guards to check one by one.
