"How could Mom not remember with such a good memory? She told her what happened two months ago without even thinking about it. She also said that she had a bad memory. If we believed it, Madam wouldn't believe it either." Xu Ruoshui asked doubtfully.
.
"This...slave...ma'am, every word of this slave is true," the doorkeeper stammered.
Naturally, Mrs. Meng would not just trust the gatekeeper and say, "Slap me first and beat me until I tell the truth." Waiting any longer would just be a waste of time.
"Yes," Baolan is the strongest among the four, so this kind of errand is naturally done by her. If she slaps her with a thick and big palm, her face will definitely hurt.
Zi Yan was afraid that the doorkeeper would tell the truth, so she said aggrievedly, "Madam, I don't believe what I said. How can I survive?" After saying that, she wanted to hit the corner of the table, but Baomei, with her quick eyes and quick hands, blocked her.
In front of her, this collision was just a slight bump on the head.
"Watch her for me," Mrs. Meng ordered. Baomei stood up and looked closely at Zi Yan to prevent her from doing anything else. The revenge for the drug must be avenged today.
"Pah," Bao Lan just slapped her, and the gatekeeper covered her face in pain and cried out, "Oh, be gentle, be gentle."
"Okay," Baolan tried her best, and this slap was even worse than the one just now. The doorkeeper spat out a tooth on the spot, "Madam, stop hitting me, it hurts me to death.
If you tell the truth, then tell the truth."
Mrs. Meng signaled Baolan to stop, and Baolan's cruel attack also indirectly made Baomei angry.
"Two months ago, Zi Yan gave the slave some money. If anyone asked, he would tell me that she had gone out of the house. When the old slave saw the money, he was so confused that he agreed directly." The gatekeeper said.
To be honest, "But one day the old slave and the old Zhang family
After adjusting the day, the old Zhang family said that a girl came to ask Zi Yan if she had been out, but the old Zhang family said no. The servant was very scared at the time, thinking that Zi Yan would definitely come to ask for the money, but she waited for a long time.
I didn’t even wait, so I breathed a sigh of relief.”
"Zi Yan," Mrs. Meng really didn't expect that the maid she trained would do such a thing, "did you really do this?"
Zi Yan originally wanted to give an explanation, but things far exceeded her expectations, "Husband, madam, slave..."
"Where have you been? I remember that you never left the house and said that you would serve your mother, so I was particularly merciful. I didn't expect that you actually did something that was both obligatory and treacherous." Mrs. Meng was furious. She was obviously being led by a maid.
The nose is gone.
"Madam, I know what she went to do," Baomei said, no longer giving Zi Yan a chance to speak. "I have been vomiting and having diarrhea for two days. It was Zi Yan who drugged me. If you don't believe me, Madam, you can search the wing.
; In addition, where Zi Yan has been in the past two days, we can find out by sending someone to the prison to ask Mr. Yu."
Mrs. Meng's brows furrowed even more tightly. She thought she had everything in the house in her hands. She never thought that she had been deceived by a maid for so long. She didn't need to explain anymore. The matter was already quite clear.
"Search Zi Yan's house," Mrs. Meng finally spoke after a long pause. This time she did not say that she would search Xu Ruoshui's main house.
"Yes," Baoju and Baolan walked away hand in hand.
The flower hall once again fell into silence. After this time, Xu Ruoshui could no longer predict how Mrs. Meng would treat him. The already fragile trust was facing a heavy blow. Meng Tianbo would once again be regarded as a thorn in the side, and
As his wife, I am facing a more difficult situation, so I can only be more careful.
"Wan Qiu, please get up. No matter what, Zi Yan is a person in your house, and I can't interfere anymore. You can make arrangements yourself." Mrs. Meng used a good method to push away her own shortcomings.
Clean is the person in your house. It's your fault that you didn't take good care of it. I'm beyond my reach.
How could Xu Ruoshui not understand that Meng Tianren had used the same method to deal with the second-rate man before, and now she had to wait for Zi Yan to find something in the house.
The doorkeeper was sent away, and it was impossible for her to work in the mansion anymore. Otherwise, if the cats and dogs were let in, the mansion would be in chaos. Mrs. Meng made up her mind to put things in order.
"Madam," Baolan quickly found a large bag of things from the side room and put it on the table. The corners of the cloth bag were loose. There were many things wrapped in yellow paper inside.
A dozen packages.
"Mr. Li, please take a look at these dirty things." There was a strange smell inside, and Mrs. Meng turned her head away in disgust. The golden hairpin on her head exuded a different kind of brilliance under the light. In this scene,
It’s a bit jarring to appreciate.
Mrs. Li inspected the things one by one and divided them into three piles. "This one is arsenic, this one is an ordinary medicinal powder, which can make people sleepy and cause diarrhea. The last one is the rhizome of saffron, which is ten times more powerful than saffron."
."
Xu Ruoshui was extremely shocked. Zi Yan would harm anyone with these things, especially this bag of saffron. If she got pregnant in late autumn, would she have to use it on late autumn? This is really terrible.
"Late autumn, late at night, I went back to rest." Mrs. Meng groaned and stood up. Two maids helped her out. She turned around and confessed, "What happened today was due to Zi Yan's carelessness."
Damn it, if anyone has a second theory and sells it, don’t blame me."
Who dares not accept such an explanation?
There were only a few people from Ningxiang Hall left in the room. Xu Ruoshui felt not relaxed at all. Zi Yan was easy to arrange, but Meng Tianbo's eyes made him a little confused.
"Mama Li, please help Zi Yan go back to rest first, and then we can talk about it after she recovers."
Mother Li said "yes", helped Zi Yan, who was weak, and walked out.
"Yan'er, bring a basin and burn all these things, immediately, immediately." Xu Ruoshui urged, saying that these harmful things could not be kept. She wanted to deal with them in front of Mrs. Hu and Meng Tianbo.
The sun was in full bloom during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a silvery moonlight shone into the flower hall, but it felt a bit desolate no matter how I looked at it.
"Young Master, go back and have a rest. If you have something to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow," Xu Ruoshui bowed to Meng Tianbo and went straight to the Nuan Pavilion.
"Young mistress, you have to wait for the young master to wash himself. How can you be such a wife?" Mrs. Hu muttered.
She no longer cares what Mrs. Hu thinks of her. Now that an iron hat has come down, she has to hold on, because no one in this world can help her, let alone pity her.
All men in the world are unlucky. Meng Tianqi is like this, and Meng Tianbo is not much better. Whether it is good or bad, it has just become clear.
