boudoir

Chapter 134 Still Doubtful
Rui'er said calmly: "It seems that madam is ready to be divorced. That's right, when our girl is taken away by the government after dawn, that is the day when the confession written by Manager Hu himself will be exposed to the world!"

She cast a cold look at her, and turned to open the door.

Nie was stunned, and lost her voice: "What are you drawing with your own hands?!"

Rui'er turned around, "Did you think that there was only one confession that was torn up just now? That's a big mistake. Our girl still has the exact same original copy written by Manager Hu himself. Apart from this incident, There are many other things. If the copy is not credible, then when the girl hands over the note to Fu Yin, even if Madam's father suppresses the matter, I am afraid that the He family will not spare you. What? Besides, Miss Wu is about to get married. Although Uncle Feng Yuan is marrying to fill in the house, at least he has a seal. If something bad happens this time, Miss Wu can't even fill in the house. Big loss!"

Nie shuddered, and looked at her with wide eyes, now Rui'er in her eyes seemed to be no longer a lowly maid, she was the envoy sent by Liuli to claim her life, she was her judge of life and death!
"You, what do you want me to do?" Her voice was still trembling, but she tried her best to suppress it.

Rui'er twitched the corners of her mouth: "Madam is so smart, what should I do? Our girls don't ask you to do anything else. Whatever you can do, our girls can naturally do as well. Of course, If someone can come forward and confess the crime of poisoning, so that the girl can come out innocent, it will be even better."

Nie was startled, "Well, this crime is serious, how can anyone be willing to come forward and confess?"

Ruier smiled and said, "Doesn't it depend on Madam's ability?"

Nie was stunned on the ground, suddenly speechless.

After Yinshi, the sky gradually dawned, and due to the decision made the night before, the doors of each room opened early, and the old ladies in the main courtyard woke up as the gentlemen arrived one after another.Qingshang dressed her, and she asked: "Yesterday, what happened to Jiu Yatou?" Ever since she was fainted from anger, she was a little confused. Qi Shener is like a mountain body, and the whole child collapsed.But she still remembered the appearance of Liuli crying and telling her the truth before she fell asleep, but now when she wakes up, she thinks of her.

Qingshang opened her mouth, hesitated to speak, Biyun came over and said: "The old lady doesn't know, the poisoner has been found out now, it is Jiu Miss. Last night, the old lady and the gentlemen had already discussed At dawn, I will send someone to notify the government to come and get him. I'm afraid he's already on his way now."

The old lady was startled, "Government?"

Qingshang sighed slightly and nodded: "Yes, Da Furen and the others tried their best to believe that Miss Jiu was the murderer, and even collected all the poisonous bird's nests, and prepared to take them to the government as evidence."

The old lady fell silent, not knowing whether she was surprised by the result or by the speed of the eldest lady and the others.

Qingshang lowered her head and continued to wait for her to get up.

She didn't believe that Miss Jiu was the murderer. How could she fail to see that Miss Jiu was sincerely looking forward to the old lady's health and longevity in the past year?How could she be poisoned?But she is soft-spoken, and these words are not appropriate for her.

The old lady got out of bed, took two steps, and suddenly said: "Go and invite Wu Yinzhong for me."

Qingshang looked up at her, saw her solemn expression, knew that there was something important to do, so she nodded and said: "Yes." She backed out.

Biyun watched Qingshang go out, helped the old lady to sit down on the couch, and said, "Dr. Wu inspected those bird's nests several times yesterday, and confirmed that every piece of them was poisonous. Nine girls are indeed It's a little more disgusting, but other people are fine. Doesn't she know how the old lady treats her? Transfer her from the cross courtyard to the main courtyard, and assign her to live in another courtyard, and let her worship Mr. Guo as a teacher, no matter what, She should always think of the old lady's kindness, but she never expected that she would be so vicious and even want to murder the old lady!"

The old lady stared ahead and didn't speak for a long time.At the end, he said: "People's hearts are unpredictable. How can there be anyone who is not selfish?" Holding a cup of tea in his hand, he stared at him and said, "How difficult it is for a person to save others. How easy is it for a person to harm others?"

Biyun looked at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled, got up and picked up the copper basin and went out.

In the outer hall, He Yuli's three brothers and the old master were all present, such a big event happened in the mansion, such a rebellious woman, everyone went to the court to take leave, and we should focus on dealing with this matter.

The Yu clan, the Liang clan, and the Qi clan also came, because they all knew that Nie clan was beaten up by He Xiuyuan yesterday, so they thought they would not be present, so no one predestined her.Unexpectedly, after the meal was set, someone came from the door to announce that the Fourth Madam had arrived, He Xiuyuan looked disgusted, but the three members of the Yu family all expressed surprise.When she saw Mrs. Nie come in, she couldn't help but joke a little bit, seeing He Xiuyuan's face, and remembered that she couldn't be allowed to make fun of what happened now, so she finally restrained herself.

Nie went into the back room and saw the old lady, so she came out and sat down at the table.Seeing He Xiuyuan next door who didn't want to look at her more, he couldn't help lowering his head.At this time, He Xiuyuan said: "Why haven't the people from the government come yet? Could something have gone wrong?"

Everyone raised their heads when asked this question, He Pusong has always been honest and honest, he couldn't bear to disgrace the elder brother He Cunli, so he glared at him: "The old master is here, fourth brother don't talk too much."

He Xiuyuan held back his temper and kept silent.

Yu wiped her mouth and said, "Even if something goes wrong and you can't come here, we can also send someone to escort her there in person. Anyway, the evidence is solid, even if she grows wings, she won't be able to escape punishment."

Nie opened her mouth, but seeing He Xiuyuan's expression of wanting to behead Liuli immediately to vent her hatred, she didn't dare to make a sound.

"Aunt Su is here."

Hongmei under the door came in to report, and then Aunt Su came in.

He Yuli waited for her brothers to grow up with her, and they never shy away from her. After meeting with everyone, she said to the old man: "The poisoning of the bird's nest, is it true that Miss Nine is the real murderer now?"

The old man frowned, glanced at He Xiuyuan and Yu Shi, and nodded.

Yu frowned and looked at Aunt Su: "What can Meiyin say?"

Aunt Su gave her a sister's salute and said: "The nine girls have now joined the He clan. No matter what their origins are, they are already descendants of my He clan. If the family affairs are brought up in the court, even if she is used to rectify the law, it will be impossible to spread the word." It's not my He Fu's honor. I'm not speaking for Nine Girls, but I still have a few questions and I want to ask everyone in public. If there is something wrong, please don't blame me."

Yu Shi was impatient, and it was inconvenient to sweep her face, so she said, "You ask."

Aunt Su nodded her head, and said to the old man: "I still have to invite Miss Nine to come over and ask her face to face."

The old man pondered for a moment and nodded: "Go and bring him here."

Seeing someone going out, Aunt Su hurriedly said: "I have asked Heng Wei to take him away with the order of the old man, and now he is on the way, please forgive me!"

The old lady was taken aback, but unexpectedly she cut first and then played, stroked her beard and walked around twice, but she was helpless.

Shi Yu glared at Aunt Su, who turned around and blessed her.Liang's and Qi's didn't know what Aunt Su was going to do when she came out, they looked at each other and sat up straight.However, Nie seemed to be refreshed, his eyes were flooded, and he stared at Aunt Su without blinking.

The dark tide is raging here, as soon as the door is dark, Hongmei announces: "Ninth Miss has arrived."

Liuli was brought in, she hadn't washed all day and night, her makeup was a bit messy, but her spirit was excellent.

When Aunt Su saw her, she turned to the old lady and said: "As we all know, Miss Jiu came to the main courtyard last spring, but the old lady has been taking bird's nest every day since the summer of last year, if the murderer is Miss Jiu , one, where did she get the arsenic? Two, she guarded the old lady's side day and night, how could she have time to process poisonous bird's nest?"

After finishing the sentence, everyone present could not help but hiss, the old man stroked his beard, but he did not listen.

Aunt Su went on to say: "The amount of bird's nests over the past year is not small, and the amount of arsenic used will not be a small amount. Nine girls don't stay at home, so they won't get it for nothing. Besides, this bird's nest wasn't directly taken It was sprinkled with arsenic, and it was tested by Dr. Wu, but it was soaked in water containing arsenic and then dried. If Jiu Miss had the guts to get arsenic, how could she have the time and place to make it?"

The old lady hummed, and said slowly: "Then according to you, with this, she can be cleared of the crime?"

Aunt Su looked back at Liuli and said, "Meiyin didn't come here to clear anyone's name, and she brought Nine Girls here without permission to avenge her. It's just that I can't bear to see everyone do things that they regret when they are sad. Miss Jiu may or may not be the murderer, we can't convict her with just a few words, family ugliness should not be publicized, I think it's better to invite Miss Jiu out, let's figure it out in private first. If it's not her in the end, won't the reputation of He Fu's neglect of human lives be spread?"

The He Pusong brothers looked at each other, and finally they all looked at He Cunli, after all, this is his daughter, and he should have his own attitude in what to do.

He Qi fixed his eyes on the old man, but he didn't speak for some reason.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mrs. Nie thought that Aunt Su had already spoken out. It would be inappropriate for her not to speak at this time, so she boldly said: "I agree with Aunt Su's opinion, this matter cannot be decided casually. Now, if you wrongly blame Ninth Miss and indulge the real culprit, wouldn’t it be bad for the old lady or even the old man? Or should we close the door and find out first.”

Mrs. Liang glanced at her in surprise, thinking that the person sitting next to her was not Mrs. Nie, but someone who appeared out of nowhere.

He Xiuyuan also glared at Nie Shi, but unexpectedly did not refute her.
