God-given peasant wife's good fortune

Chapter 627 Clumsy means

[-]

"Mrs. Marshal, I think you also know that something happened at the porridge station outside the city. This is why I came here today." Wu Gengmin said straight to the point as soon as the servant left.

"Madame Marshal, something happened at the porridge point outside the city. Some of the refugees had diarrhea after eating the porridge at the porridge point. Several people were stretched out. The doctor said that there was something wrong with the rice and white flour. The poisoned refugees have reported to the Jingzhao Mansion the grain shop that supplies rice and white noodles to the soup kitchen behind them." Wu Gengmin fixed his eyes on Su Kefang and said.

Those who went to the city to give porridge were all dignitaries, and their starting point was also for the refugees, so those refugees did not dare to embarrass those who gave the porridge, and they were still smart.

Su Kefang met Wu Gengmin's probing eyes calmly, and asked calmly, "Who told those refugees that the rice and white noodles for porridge were bought at our temporary grain shop?"

Wu Gengmin was able to find Duke Huguo's mansion, which means that he already knew that the rice and flour came from her, but how did those refugees know?
"I asked, and some refugees saw with their own eyes the stewards of several big families buying grain from the marshal's wife's grain store." After what happened last time, Wu Gengmin did not dare to be reckless. The refugees also asked the stewards of several soup kitchens to confirm that the food was delivered from her food shop.

"Master Wu, I want to know if someone has testified against me behind my back?" Su Kefang raised his eyes and looked straight into Jinwu Geng Min's eyes, not allowing him to lie.

She opened the temporary grain shop and didn't show up in person, but she didn't deliberately conceal it. It's not surprising that someone knew that she was the owner of the temporary grain shop. She just wanted to know who framed her?
Wu Gengmin was afraid that Su Kefang would ask the truth, so he looked confused: "There is indeed someone who testified against the Marshal's wife, but please forgive me for not being able to inform the Marshal's wife of the other party's situation."

Su Kefang's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile: "Since Mr. Wu has difficulties, then I won't embarrass Mr. Wu, but I hope Mr. Wu will find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible, so that I can also explain to the emperor."

Wu Gengmin couldn't help concentrating, and said seriously: "I understand!"

From the very beginning, he suspected that this grain store was opened by the marshal's wife and the emperor in partnership. After all, the price of grain and salt in Anjin Kingdom is monitored by the Ministry of Households. The minimum price of the store is even lower, obviously it was registered at the Ministry of Household Affairs, and now hearing what Marshal's wife said, this grain store is really a partnership between the emperor and Marshal's wife.

Wu Gengmin secretly rejoiced that he had the foresight to invite the Marshal's wife to Jingzhao Mansion this time without impulsiveness.

All of Wu Gengmin's conjectures were correct. The reason why Su Kefang didn't deliberately conceal that he was the owner of the grain shop was because the emperor of the grain shop also held [-]% of the shares.

As the saying goes, it is cool under the big tree, and with the emperor as his backer, Su Kefang will not foolishly take risks alone.

Besides, she bought cheap food at this time, and she could still make a good impression on the emperor and the household department, so she would hide it if she was stupid.

After Wu Gengmin left, Yao asked worriedly, "Fang'er, do you need to go outside the city?"

"Mother, just now something happened, the refugees outside the city must be very excited, we'd better wait for Master Wu to find out the reason before going." Su Kefang said.

If they go out of the city now, they won't be eaten alive by those refugees.

Yao Shi naturally knew that there was something tricky in it, and his face was very ugly: "Those refugees are so innocent, who are they so devoid of conscience?"

Yao shi knew in his heart that the Xiang family turned over so fast that there were countless people who tried to trip them up. These refugees had suffered for them, and Yao shi felt uncomfortable.

"Mother, Mr. Wu is stern and selfless. He will find out the truth soon, so don't worry." Su Kefang comforted her mother-in-law for a while, and then went back to "Luomei Pavilion".

Back at "Luomei Pavilion", Su Kefang found that Xiang Chenxiang was gone, and Ouyang Wanruo's eyes were red and swollen, she couldn't help frowning: "Princess, where is my second uncle?"

"He took the skewers and sent them to Young Master Zhuang." Ouyang Wanruo pointed to a few plates of grilled skewers on the table and said, "Master Xiang Er roasted a lot, Madam Marshal, please sit down and eat too." .”

Su Kefang glanced at Ouyang Wanruo suspiciously, and noticed that her expression was different from usual, even the smile on her face was much more real than before, but what happened to her red and swollen eyes?

"Princess, I'm so sorry, we didn't mean to leave you here." Su Kefang apologized.

Even if it is an ordinary guest, today she left alone as a host, and she should apologize for ignoring the guests.

"It's okay." Ouyang Wanruo paused, and asked with concern: "Madam Marshal, is everything settled?"

Su Kefang was very surprised that Ouyang Wanruo would ask her about it, he was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "Not yet, Mr. Wu is still investigating."

"What happened to the soup kitchen? How could it involve the marshal's wife?" Ouyang Wanruo asked again.

Su Kefang suppressed the surprise in his heart, and replied: "The rice and white noodles for the porridge outside the city are all from my grain shop. Today, many refugees have diarrhea after eating the porridge and steamed buns. The doctor said that the porridge and steamed buns were poisoned, which caused the refugees to have diarrhea, and Mr. Wu just asked me to go back and ask a few words."

The doctor said it was poisonous, it was exaggerated. Later, the imperial physician in the palace examined the porridge and steamed buns, and came to the conclusion that croton was given.

Such a clumsy method is all left over from her use, and she has the nerve to show it to others!

"croton?"

"Croton is actually a laxative." Su Kefang explained.

Hearing this, Ouyang Wanruo felt even more strange: "Since someone is going to kill Marshal's wife, why only put laxatives instead of poison that kills people?"

Su Kefang looked at Ouyang Wanruo with a half-smile: "The princess is so sure that I didn't plant this croton?"

Ouyang Wanruo's expression paused, her little face flushed, and she was too guilty to look directly at Su Kefang's teasing eyes: "Marshal's wife is a businessman, how could she do such a thing that digs her own grave?"

"Oh?" The smile on Su Kefang's face deepened: "Princess also knows that I am a businessman. It seems that many things happened here after I left for a while."

Su Kefang finally understood why Ouyang Wanruo's attitude towards her had changed so much. It turned out that her second uncle had spoken good words for her in front of Ouyang Wanruo.

Su Kefang's joking words made Ouyang Wanruo flush with shame, she raised her eyes and gave Su Kefang an angry look: "Madam Marshal, don't talk nonsense!"

Xiang Chenxiang just told her how the Su family supported the entire Xiang family during the most difficult time for the Xiang family. During the days when Xiang Chenhong was not at home, the Su family showed up to do business outside, and was robbed of the business and sent to prison and so on.

In the past, she somewhat looked down on Su's background, but now she only has admiration for her. No wonder Xiang Chenxiang wanted her to respect Su's.
