Hui'er didn't know that Zhong Dashi had said this about Miracle Doctor Xiao Qi, so she looked at Zhong Dashi unhappily and asked, "Did you really say that Miracle Doctor Xiao Qi is a pretty boy?"
Doctor Xiao Qi is Madam's friend and benefactor. Zhong Dashi is just a servant. What qualifications does he have to say such things to others?
Zhong Dashi lowered his head and said nothing, neither admitting nor denying.
Xia He snorted and said, "We don't judge people by their appearance, but we are more willing to believe what we see than what others say."
"That's right." Dongxue glanced at Zhong Dashi.
Seeing that Zhong Dashi was silent, Hui'er took it as his acquiescence, shook her head in disappointment and said: "I didn't know that you were like this. Doctor Xiao Qi is not a pretty boy, he is very famous in the imperial city.
There are so many dignitaries who want to ask him to treat you, but they can't even do it."
In front of all the servants, Zhong Dashi felt very embarrassed when Hui'er said this, and his teeth clenched.
Hui'er glanced at him and didn't say anything more to him, and continued: "I will go and verify whether these words were spread by Mr. Yun. But now we still have to start the investigation from our Shen residence. You all can tell us one by one. These two
Have you ever gone out? What did you do when you went out? If you haven’t gone out, who can testify for you?"
The servants all told each other that they had not been out in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and they could testify to each other.
Lao Wangtou has never gone out, and the two boys who guard the door during the day can testify for him.
Qingxing had caught a cold in the past two days and was not feeling well. She had not been out. Zhao Wuniang went to buy the ingredients.
Zhao Wuniang went out every day in the past few days, but every time she went out, she went to the market to buy vegetables, and she didn't say nonsense to others. Although Hui'er believed her, she still swore the oath.
"If my reputation as a disgrace to Madam spreads outside, I will die from a torment from the intestines, and I will also curse that person who eats the inside out, and he will die from a torment from the intestines."
Hearing Zhao Wuniang's curse, everyone else looked magnanimous, except Zhong Dashi who had his head lowered and couldn't see clearly.
It was Zhong Dashi's turn. Zhong Dashi raised his head and said, "I haven't been out in the past two days. Xiao Ding can testify for me."
In fact, Zhong Dashi had gone out. In order to prevent Huier from suspecting him, he lied directly. Anyway, as long as someone could prove that he had never gone out, it would be fine.
Ding Yuanqing was startled for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, I testify that Brother Da Shi has never gone out." In fact, he has been on duty these past few nights. He fell asleep after breakfast during the day, and often slept until the afternoon.
Only then can you get up. You don’t know whether Brother Da Shi has gone out during the day or not. Anyway, when he wakes up, Brother Da Shi will be there.
"No." Qiuye frowned and looked at Zhong Dashi, "The morning before yesterday, I clearly saw you going out through the back door."
She was passing by the backyard at that time and saw someone opening the back door and going out. That person was clearly Zhong Dashi. He was wearing the same clothes that day.
Zhong Dashi panicked for a moment, looked sideways at Qiuye and said, "You're talking nonsense. I never went out the day before yesterday. Don't frame me like this just because I said something you don't like to hear."
Zhong Dashi also had some brains. He immediately said that he had said things that Qiuye didn't like to hear, which made Qiuye unhappy, so he lied and said that he had gone out to frame him.
