Chapter 38
After Mingling's reminder, everyone realized that her condition was not much better, and they couldn't help but have new guesses.

These words, even if Ming Ling didn't say it, Shen Muqiu would say it.Others would not notice the details of Huo Tianxin, but she, a mother, could see it clearly.

The reason why he has not spoken is also because things are still unclear.It would be unfair to help each other rashly.

Now that Mingling told the truth first, she breathed a sigh of relief, nodded gratefully to him, and continued to remain silent.

Only then did the old lady see the messy marks on her granddaughter's body. Huo Tianxin was always calm, and it was absolutely impossible for him to make himself like this.In this way, if Auntie fell into the water, there might be something hidden.

She also realized at this time that the matter in the inner house is really not suitable for interrogation with great fanfare.Just as she was about to confess her crimes to everyone and plan to settle it privately, Bi Tao was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so she spoke first, "Ninth prince, old lady, the servant girl saw it with her own eyes, it was Miss Xin who beat Auntie first, and then the two started arguing. Miss Xin pushed Auntie into the water."

"Presumptuous!" Shen Muqiu couldn't stand it any longer, and scolded in a cold voice: "Old madam talking to the Ninth Prince, when will it be your turn to intervene? Is this how your aunt teaches you to behave like this? Housekeeper, let me ask you , so regardless of superiority or inferiority, how should we punish if we interrupt the conversation of the masters at will?"

The housekeeper squeezed out from the crowd, and said respectfully: "If you go back to Madam, you should slap your lips twenty times."

Bi Tao shrank, feeling terrified, and looked at Huo Tianyu for help.

Huo Tianyu was also afraid that she would not be able to bear the pain, so he confessed all of his brains, and quickly said: "Mother, daughter knows that you love Xin'er, but the matter has not been clarified yet, it is really hard for you to favor Xin'er like this. All!"

Shen Muqiu raised his head and stared at her coldly: "You mean I'm partial?"

"My daughter doesn't want to think like this, but she needs her mother to be upright." Huo Tianyu felt a little guilty when he saw her so serious for the first time. If you want to deal with her angrily, aren't you forcing her to shut up?"

In this way, it is to accuse Shen Muqiu of being unfair.Huo Tianxin laughed at himself, and said lightly: "Sister Yu, you don't need to deliberately confuse right and wrong. My mother made it very clear that the reason for punishing Bitao is because Bitao doesn't distinguish between superior and inferior, and has nothing to do with this matter."

She paused, and then said: "If it is true that I pushed Auntie into the water, I will not deny what I have done. But I really have no intention of pushing her into the water, and it is not my crime. I'm not going to force myself either."

Huo Tianyu snorted and said: "Whether you did it unintentionally or on purpose, my aunt has already fallen into the water, and the fetus in her womb has also miscarried. You can't escape the guilt."

The two sisters were arguing like this, and Bi Tao's reaction was obviously wrong. The matter has reached such a point that it is impossible to deal with it privately.

A good birthday banquet was made like this, Mrs. Huo was so annoyed, she stopped on her crutches and shouted: "Shut up!"

Huo Tianxin stared straight ahead indifferently, and said nothing more.Huo Tianyu hated her calm appearance so much, he gave her a hard look, and closed his mouth reluctantly.

The tray in Ah Xiang's hand was still held up, and Mingling nodded to the old lady: "Taste the old lady."

After just mentioning it, Mrs. Huo believed that his actions must have deep meaning.Although still displeased, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Unexpectedly, she smelled a trace of other flavors in the sweet floral fragrance, her expression frightened, she moved to her lips, took a sip, and said in a voiceless voice: "There is a burning knife in this peach blossom wine."

Shaodaozi is a kind of extremely strong liquor. It is cheap and demeaning. Royals and nobles generally don't drink it. It is specially prepared for the subordinates of the late General Huo.

The frontier is bitterly cold, and the soldiers stationed there lack supplies all the year round, so they can only rely on spirits to keep warm.One bite of burning knife, from the mouth to the heart, the whole body is warm.Over time, this cheap wine has become their treasure, but they are not interested in ordinary drinks.

"The old lady is so sensitive. Mingling can only taste the peach blossom wine mixed with other wine, but he can't taste it." Mingling admired, then changed his voice, and said: "Just now I sat down When Ms. Huo and the others were on the table, there was only a small half of the pot of wine left, and I don't know who was so careless, and actually sent the peach blossom wine mixed with spirits to the tables of several young ladies?"

This time, not only Mrs. Huo, but even Huo Shoucheng lost face.

Taohuaniang is a wine brewed by the General's Mansion, and it is stored separately from the wine bought from outside, and the container is also very different.No matter how careless a person is, it is impossible to mix two kinds of wine together.

At this time, Huo Tianxin's cheeks were still flushed, and his eyes were slightly fuzzy.Looking at Fu Yatong and Xu Yanxi who were at the same table with her, it was the same.

Thinking of Aunt Ruo being pushed into the water at this time, no matter how simple a person is, he would think of something.

Huo Tianyu didn't know anything about mixing alcohol.But no one knows Aunt Ruo's methods and behavior better than her. Needless to say, Aunt Tim did it on a whim and on purpose.

If this matter is traced to Auntie, there will be many things that will be brought up.

She was flustered in her heart, and she preemptively said, "Which girl is serving the wine on the table for Xin'er? Xin'er, do you remember? She made such a big mistake, we must not let her off lightly!"

Huo Tianxin looked at her meaningfully, with a half smile but not a smile, but kept silent.

Those scattered and strange eyes made Huo Tianyu's heart tremble for a while, and he couldn't help swallowing, then Huo Tianxin slowly turned his eyes away, and said calmly: "I don't remember."

No one expected that such an event would happen, so how could they specially remember who the girl was?
There are dozens of maids in the mansion, some of whom she can't even pronounce their names, who come and go at the birthday banquet and wear the same clothes, who can tell the difference?
It is obviously unrealistic to find out the person who mixed the wine in this way.

The more you talk, the more you realize that there are many problems.Mrs. Huo didn't want to make her family ugly, so she directly made a conclusion: "Since Xin'er accidentally drank strong alcohol and pushed Aunt Ruo into the water by mistake, I really can't blame Xin'er for what happened today. , stop here. Xin'er, although you drink alcohol by mistake, you can't take full responsibility. Grandmother punished you for ten days and copied the female precepts a hundred times. Can you accept it?"

Huo Tian was dizzy, but he also knew that his grandmother was lowering the steps for her, so he obediently responded: "Granddaughter will obey grandmother's orders."

Mrs. Huo nodded and looked at her son: "Shoucheng, if my aunt suffers from an innocent disaster and just lost her child, she must be sad. Please comfort me, and ask the doctor to take care of her carefully, so as not to hurt her body."

"Yes, my son knows, and the doctor has already sent someone to pick him up. Mother, please rest assured."

"En." Mrs. Huo glanced at the guests with different expressions, and said loudly: "Today's incident is really a joke for everyone. It's all because of the laxness of the old man, and please don't blame my general's mansion. Sorry."
