The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 116
When they arrived at Zuofu, Zuo Xiangyu and Yutao got out of the car, startling the people at the door.

Mingwang came out of the corner door next to him and whispered to the people holding the door: "Keep your mouths shut, and do whatever you have to do!"

Zuo Xiangyu glanced at Zuo Xiangning, and supported Yu Taoxiang back to her yard.

"Thank you for your hard work, housekeeper." Zuo Xiangning nodded to Mingwang and prepared to return to Xianglanzhai.

"Fourth girl, you'd better take a look at the funeral hall first." Mingwang walked to Zuo Xiangning's side and whispered.

Zuo Xiangning walked to the screen wall and stood still, turned around and asked, "What happened?"

"Just now, Aunt Liu ate the chicken soup sent from the big kitchen, and she showed signs of miscarriage. According to the investigation by Mother Wang, only Mother Cai had touched the soup pot in the big kitchen at that time."

Zuo Xiangning's expression suddenly changed, "Where is Mother Liu now?"

"I'm kneeling in the courtyard of Shi'an Hall." Butler Mingwang said anxiously: "The Zhang Rui family said that Xiaowu in your courtyard saw a little girl named Cuiyu from Ruyiyuan going to Tianyi Medicinal Materials Shop the day before yesterday. Zhang Tu Already went to the medicine shop."

While the two were talking, Zhang Tu hurried in from outside.

"I brought the owner of the medicine shop here," Zhang Tu said with a frown: "He said he might be able to recognize the person, but he might not be able to remember what medicine she bought."

"Do you know what Aunt Liu ate to show signs of miscarriage?" Zuo Xiangning asked Butler Mingwang.

"Red flower." Ming Wang said.

"Give the boss 100 taels of silver and ask him to identify Yu Cui as having gone to his medicinal shop and buying safflower." Zuo Xiangning asked Bingyu to go back to Xianglanzhai to find Pan Cui to collect the 100 taels of silver.

Zuo Xiangning whispered to Mingwang and Zhang Tu again.

Mingwang and Zhang Tu raised their heads together, glanced at Zuo Xiangning, and agreed, "Yes."

Zuo Xiangning picked up her skirt and walked quickly to Shi'antang.

After entering the courtyard gate, I saw Cai’s mother kneeling in the middle of the courtyard with her hunched body.

Zuo Xiangning took off her cloak and put it on Cai's mother.

Mother Cai looked up at Zuo Xiangning, with red eyes she called out: "Girl."

"What's wrong with Mama Cai? Why are you kneeling here in such a cold weather?" Zuo Xiangning stretched out her hand to help Mama Cai up.

Mother Cai shook her head slightly and whispered: "I'm fine, old slave."

Zuo Xiangning bit her lower lip hard and walked up the steps.

The few girls and women standing outside the door stood there with their heads lowered, pretending not to see or hear anything.

Zuo Xiangning walked to the door and heard Jiang inside, arguing with the old lady: "Mother Cai has been with me for more than 20 years. When has she ever done anything harmful to others? Today's incident is obviously framed by someone. She...it's freezing outside right now, how can Cai's mother endure it when she's so old? Let her get up first, and I promise to find out the matter..."

"Now that the matter is obvious, what else can be investigated?" the old lady said angrily: "She is a cheap slave, and she dares to murder the descendants of our Zuo family. Who gave her the heart and courage? Let me tell you , we are not done with this matter! When the master comes back, we will review it slowly!"

Zuo Xiangning pushed the door open and walked in, walking straight into the inner room, "Grandma, mother, what happened?"

Old Mrs. Zuo leaned on the bed and asked with an unhappy face: "How old are the four girls? How can they be decent if they are so unruly?"

"Grandma, we made the announcement outside, but you didn't hear it." After Zuo Xiangning saluted Mrs. Zuo and Mrs. Jiang, she asked, "I see Mother Cai kneeling outside. What's going on?" Already?"

"These things are not the responsibility of an unmarried boudoir girl like you." Mrs. Zuo frowned and said, "You just came back from Prince Qi's Mansion and you are tired. Go back and rest quickly."

Zuo Xiangning looked at Jiang, "Mother, Butler Mingwang has something urgent to report outside."

"No matter what happens, let him wait first!" Old Mrs. Zuo said dissatisfied. "Steward Mingwang said that it is a major matter related to the heirs of Zuo Mansion." Zuo Xiangning glanced at Jiang again in embarrassment.

Jiang came to understand and shouted outside: "Let Mingwang come in and talk!"

The old lady Zuo sat up straight and shouted at Mr. Jiang: "I told him, no matter what happens, let him wait for me first!"

"Isn't the old lady most concerned about the heirs? Now what Butler Mingwang is going to say is the heirs you care about the most. Why don't you care about the heirs the most?" Jiang explained here for a long time, already holding back his anger.

"Okay, let him come in and talk! I really want to hear how many dirty things are going on in our house!"

"Ms. Liu from the kitchen said that she heard from Ma Wu from the firewood room the day before yesterday that she saw Yucui from Ruyiyuan going to Tianyi Medicine Shop. She seemed to be buying something shameful. She secretly stuffed it into her arms. From then on, "You enter the house through the corner gate," Ming Wang said, "Is it related to the affairs of Ruyiyuan that I don't know?"

"Oh?" Jiang's eyes lit up, "Bring me Jade Cui!"

"Mother, in my daughter's opinion, this Yucui may not be able to ask anything," Zuo Xiangning said softly: "We have to find the people from the drug store and ask them to confront Yucui."

"That's fine." Jiang asked Mingwang to hurry up and bring everyone here.

The old lady Zuo looked at the mother and daughter and sneered: "Are everything they said true?"

"What the old lady said is," Zuo Xiangning looked at Mother Wang standing beside the bed and said, "Mother Wang should be asked to take people to the place where Yucui lives... No! The entire Ruyi Courtyard should be searched and seen. See if there’s anything that shouldn’t be there…”

"If you want to search, search together with Fanghuayuan!" said the old lady Zuo.

Jiang was furious and looked at the old lady Zuo, "Old lady, I'm afraid there's no one in the whole capital who would search the wife's yard so casually? Unless it's a house raid..."

Zuo Xiangning took Jiang's arm and shook her head slightly, "First search where Yu Cui lives. If you can't find it, then search everywhere in Ruyi Courtyard and Fanghua Courtyard. This matter must be investigated. clear."

Jiang pursed the corners of his lips, with blazing anger burning in his eyes.

"Bingyu? You go with Wang Ma and take care of her. The road outside is slippery. Don't fall." Zuo Xiangning said to Bingyu outside the door: "

Within a moment, Mrs. Liu, Ma Wu, and Yu Cui were all brought into Shi'an Hall.

Mrs. Liu and Ma Wu's confessions were consistent, but Yucui admitted nothing.

Two quarters of an hour later, the drug store owner was brought back.

The drug store owner pointed out that Yucui had bought three taels of safflower, and Yucui cried out for injustice.

Then, Mrs. Wang found a small bag of red flowers from Yucui's room.

Jiang threw the red flowers on Yu Cui's face and shouted angrily: "What else do you have to say? I don't think you will shed tears until you see the coffin! Take her out and hit fifty big boards!"

"You, the mistress of the house, are you going to handle things like this? You don't want to ask questions, and you just want to give in?" Old Mrs. Zuo got off the bed, walked to Yucui, and asked coldly: "Tell me! Is this red flower yours?" bought?"

Only then did Zuo Xiangning realize that Mrs. Zuo was here today just for Mrs. Jiang and Mama Cai!

Zuo Xiangning was angry and shouted to the door: "Zixia, help Mama Cai back!"

The old lady Zuo turned around and looked at Zuo Xiangning, "The matter hasn't been found out yet, who told her to get up?"

"All the witnesses and physical evidence are there, but the old lady still doesn't believe it?" Zuo Xiangning asked with a smile, "I wonder if Mama Cai has witnesses or physical evidence?"

"Fourth girl, I am your grandmother!" Mrs. Zuo looked at Zuo Xiangning with a livid face.

Zuo Xiangning straightened her back and looked at the old lady Zuo, who was half a head shorter than her, "Grandma, is there anything my granddaughter did wrong?"
