During dinner, the rest of the Xia family returned home one after another.

Yuan Bao's sharp eyes noticed that the gate on the courtyard wall was running to the next door house and back again, running back and forth, making it very noisy.

Regarding the extra door on the courtyard wall, Li Yunniang didn’t ask much.

As soon as she got home, she reported today's profit to Xia Qianqian, then changed her tone and said, "I heard that something big happened in Juwang Building today. Jiang Chengyun poisoned Young Master Hu and was caught."

"Yes!"

"What about Mr. Hu?" Li Yunniang muttered, "He has a good personality and is kind to our family."

"He's fine, I saved him!"

Li Yunniang had no information and thought it was an ordinary poison, so she didn't care. "As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

As soon as Grandma Gui and Hua Zhuer entered the door, they went to the kitchen to clean up and cook.

After a while, dinner will be ready.

On the table, there are four dishes and one soup, and a bowl of white rice in front of everyone.

This kind of life was something Li Yunniang never dared to imagine.

The four of them had a lively dinner and were packing up to rest when there was a sharp knock on the door.

Li Yunniang stood up suddenly, "Who could it be?"

Aunt Gui stopped her and said, "Let me go take a look."

"I'm coming with you!" Xia Qianqian and Nanny Gui carried lanterns and walked out of the house.

Outside the courtyard, dusk is falling, the moon is bright and stars are shining, and a cool night breeze is blowing.

They crossed the yard and stood inside the gate. Aunt Gui called out first: "Who is it?"

"It's me!" A timid female voice replied in a panic.

The voice sounded familiar to Xia Qianqian, but she was not sure who it was.

On the contrary, Aunt Gui on the side changed her expression and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing here?"

"Senior sister, save me!" The woman outside the door sobbed in frustration: "Please, save me again."

Along with her crying, there were chaotic footsteps in the alley, and someone shouted loudly: "There is someone there!"

The knocking on the door became more urgent, accompanied by desperate cries, "Sister, we have been together day and night for more than 20 years. Please save me for the sake of the past!"

This time, Xia Qianqian recognized who it was.

It's Aunt Liu from Yalan Tea House, who claims to be from the imperial dining room in the Imperial Palace.

But she calls Aunt Gui senior sister.

Sure enough, the nanny Xi Yalan gave her would be an ordinary unknown person.

"Quick, come on, catch him!"

The sound of footsteps followed one after another, and Xia Qianqian leaned into the crack of the door to take a look.

A group of officers and soldiers hurried over holding torches, and the leader was Gong Xiaoba.

They swarmed up and caught the person at the door.

"Senior sister, help, help!" The shrill begging for mercy echoed in the night sky, and it was even scarier than the voice of the young master next door.

Li Yunniang held Yuanbao in her arms and stood with Hua Zhuer at the door of the inner room, looking out nervously.

Aunt Gui lowered her head slightly and never said a word, but her lowered and clenched hands represented her mood at this time.

"Auntie Gui, since we are former sisters, if we can help, remembering our old friendship, we can definitely help each other!"

Xia Qianqian immediately stepped forward, reached out and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, the two people just walked out.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Liu struggled to break away from the soldiers' shackles, rushed over, knelt on the ground with a "pop", grabbed the hem of Aunt Gui's skirt, and sobbed loudly, "Sister, help, help."<

/p>

Aunt Gui lowered her head and looked at the visitor.

Recalling that a few days ago, when they first met, she called her over, greeted her warmly, and wanted her to go to Miao Mansion with her.

At that time, Grandma Liu's expression was filled with a sense of pride, and her speech and behavior showed a sense of superiority.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, she would actually kneel in front of her and beg.

It’s really unpredictable.

Aunt Gui's mood fluctuated for a while.

When Xia Qianqian saw Grandma Liu being chased by officers and soldiers, she probably had some guesses in her mind.

"Master Gong, I wonder what crime she committed?"

When Gong Xiaoba saw it was her, he was extremely polite, "Yesterday, we caught Bao Linzi's accomplice Li Gouzi. After a night of interrogation, he truthfully confessed that it was Aunt Liu from Luofu who gave him the poison. He would

She was handed over to Bao Linzi for poisoning. Therefore, we captured this woman all the way and chased her here."

"It's not me, it's not me!" Mother Liu waved her hands repeatedly, "I gave him something, but I didn't know that it was poison!"

"Li Gouzi confessed that because you lost to Miss Xia in a tea fight, you harbored a grudge and waited for an opportunity to poison you and extort money from the 'Everyone Fa' shop."

"I didn't, absolutely not!" Grandma Liu swore to the sky, "I definitely didn't!"

"Are you sure? When you return to the General's Mansion, you two will confront each other face to face and the results will come to you!"

As soon as Gong Xiaoba raised his hand, several soldiers stepped forward, grabbed Nanny Liu again, and forced her out.

Aunt Liu was so frightened that her legs went weak and she was dragged all the way. She cried and begged: "Miss Xia, your slaves will compensate for your loss. Please don't report it to the official. Let's go private. How about we go private?"

She begged Xia Qianqian while begging for mercy, "Senior sister, you must save me in a foreign land."

After pushing and shouting, Nanny Liu was escorted away.

When Gong Xiaoba left, he bowed to Xia Qianqian and apologized: "My subordinate did something wrong and failed to catch the suspect in time, which disturbed the girl's peace. Please forgive me."

This Gong Xiaoba, when did he become her subordinate?

Xia Qianqian looked embarrassed, "The case involves the 'Everyone Fa' shop. I have no special requirements. Please handle it fairly!"

Gong Xiaoba bowed his hands and said, "I understand."

A group of people came in large numbers and left in a hurry.

"Girl, it's cold at night, let's go back!" Aunt Gui warned, and the two of them returned to the yard and closed the door.

Li Yunniang trotted over and asked nervously: "What happened? Why are there women crying and begging for mercy, and why are officers and soldiers coming?"

"Hmm!"

Several people held lanterns, returned to the hall, and sat down separately.

Xia Qianqian opened her mouth and told the whole story.

Li Yunniang sighed in her heart, looking at Aunt Gui with more admiration in her eyes.

She couldn't help but took Aunt Gui's hand and said with emotion: "Aunt Gui, I really wronged you by asking you to come to my house and do odd jobs in the shop."

Aunt Gui smiled faintly and said in a calm tone: "Madam, no matter where I come from, the Xia family has given me a place to live. I am just a woman. It is my blessing to be loved by Madam."

"Then Aunt Liu..." After all, she was able to come to the door and had been with Aunt Gui for so many years, so Xia Qianqian didn't want to embarrass Aunt Gui.

Aunt Gui was sensible and said with a normal expression: "Girl, whether she did it or not, we need the government to investigate. As for what she mentioned is private?"

Aunt Gui shook her head and said, "Someone is secretly trying to deal with the girl. One thing will lead to another. This time the matter will be settled, and maybe there will be another time."

"Girl, let's leave the judgment of the case to the people in the government office."
