Tang Chu was doing the famous "Erkang Hands" and her expression was very consistent with the "Erkang" children's shoes. Of course, she definitely didn't know what they were.
She appeared at the critical moment, ready to turn the tide and save a fragile life!
At this moment, everything seemed to be frozen. She appeared at the right time.
After hearing Tang Chu's call, the tonic soup that had just been put to her lips was put down again. The old lady looked at Tang Chu and asked kindly: "Chu'er, why can't you drink this tonic soup? Is there anything wrong with it?
?Grandma drinks it every day."
So, Tang Chu told the old lady about the poisoned rat he had just seen in the kitchen.
"If Tuantuan hadn't gone to catch mice and Chu'er followed and found a dead mouse, we would have regretted it! This... this tonic soup is poisonous!"
As soon as she heard that someone had poisoned her food, the old lady knocked on the table angrily. The people below did not dare to express their anger, for fear of getting into trouble because of the old lady's anger. The housekeeper promptly went to report the news.
I invited Mr. Tang Jie to the old lady’s yard.
The main figures in the Tang Dynasty stood in front of the old lady anxiously, waiting for the development of this matter.
"Mother, what makes you so unhappy? Let's see if my son can relieve your worries?"
Tang Jie lowered his head in front of the old lady and said humbly, acting like a filial son.
Everyone knew that Tang Jie was a filial son, so all the wives, concubines, maids and servants in the yard knew how to please the old lady. Who would have the courage to poison the old lady, unless he didn't want to die! Or his brain was flooded and confused.
"Go ask your second daughter."
After hearing what the old lady said, Tang Jie asked Tang Chu seriously: "What is going on?!"
So Tang Chu recounted the strange things in the kitchen again.
That's not bad! As long as it involves the old lady, Tang Jie is very concerned about it and will not just sit idly by and ignore it.
It should be said that Tang Jie doesn't care about the life or death of all the women in the house, only the old lady is his bottom line. Daughters are just tools for climbing up, ladies are just reproductive tools, and mothers and slaves are even more humble domestic animals.
Tang Jie then asked, who brought this bowl of food?
Mrs. Xu was so frightened that she fell to her knees and kept begging the master for his life. In fact, she had no idea what was going on.
"Did you do it?"
Tang Chu took a step forward and asked confidently.
"Ah yes, no, no, no, it's not the old slave! The old slave doesn't know anything, and he didn't do anything! The second lady has to believe in the old slave. Considering that the old slave has served the Tang Dynasty for many years, she also knows that it is absolutely impossible for the old slave to
Harm the old lady!"
Tang Chu smiled slightly, her face was very beautiful: "Mother Xu, don't panic, you really didn't do it. I will make the decision for you, and I believe the old lady will also make the decision for you. But if it is really done, I
But the first one won’t let you go!”
"The second young lady has a good name, but I really didn't do it."
"Then, let me ask you again, apart from you, who else has touched the old lady's tonic soup?"
Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes suspiciously, looking particularly suspicious. Finally she turned her gaze to Tang Wan'er, pointed and said, "The third lady also touched the tonic soup for the old lady."
"Is there anyone else besides Miss Third?"
"Old slave didn't see it."
Everyone's eyes were all on Tang Wan'er, but she remained calm and composed.
