No wonder Shen Fengxu insisted on asking how to deal with it, no wonder she had always been so calm and composed before. It turned out that Shen Fengxu planned all of this, but she was only eleven years old, how could she have such deep thoughts?!
Could it be that someone was secretly instigating this?
"Of course I treat everyone equally! But the matter has not yet come to light, how can we draw a conclusion easily? We still need to investigate carefully!" The eldest lady was eager to protect her daughter and said to the old lady, "Please give the old lady a few days of grace, my daughter-in-law will definitely stir up trouble. Find someone!"
"Sister-in-law was not so eager just now. She said she would treat everyone equally, but in the end it was still different." The second lady sighed and shook her head, "It's really pitiful for this girl Feng Xu, who is so helpless in the house."
"Say less!" The old lady glanced at the second lady impatiently.
The second lady immediately fell silent.
The old lady turned to look at the eldest lady: "I will give you a few days. If you can't find the person who committed the crime, I don't think you, the mistress of the house, need to continue doing it!"
This is a very serious statement.
But the eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your understanding, madam. My daughter-in-law will naturally do her best to find out the truth."
The old lady thought about today's events and felt her chest was upset. She said: "Fangzhu, please personally select a few people to take care of Yu Min. This must not happen again!"
Even if she doesn't like Shen Yumin, she can't tolerate someone in the house trying to kill her. No matter what, Shen Yumin is the serious master of Dong Ningbo's house.
"Thank you, old lady, for taking care of me. I thank you for Miss Seven." With the old lady's words, Nurse Xu felt more relieved, thinking that Shen Yumin's life would be easier in the future.
"And this ungrateful Cai Lian...!" The old lady's cold gaze fell on Cai Lian again.
Cai Lian trembled.
She had been kneeling since she came here, and even now, half of her body is stiff and numb, but the pain in her body is nothing, and the torment in her heart is the most uncomfortable.
Being called out suddenly made me feel uneasy.
Chen Fengxu glanced at Cai Lian, then said with a full smile: "Grandma, although Cai Lian made a mistake today, it will not lead to death."
"Then what do you think should be done?" The old lady frowned.
It is not an exaggeration to kill such a slanderous servant girl.
"After all, Cai Lian is a person sent by my mother. I can't bear to punish her, but I can't let her stay with me anymore. But since she has a good relationship with the maid in Jinchun Yuan, she might as well work in Jinchun Yuan from now on. "Chen Fengxu smiled softly and said, "I just wonder if Fourth Sister is willing?"
Cai Lian couldn't help but be stunned: "Girl..."
She thought she was destined to die, but she didn't expect that Shen Fengxu would let her go so generously without even a harsh word.
Not only the lotus collector, but also everyone else in the courtyard was stunned.
The second lady marveled: "Is there such a thing? The sixth lady is too kind-hearted. This kind of thing that sells things for glory, if it were me, I would definitely not leave my life."
The eldest lady's hesitant gaze also lingered on Shen Fengxu.
Chen Fengxu smiled shyly: "After all, what Cai Lian said is true. I did order someone to take the medicine, but there was some misunderstanding. I really can't bear to punish her, so I might as well give it to the fourth sister."
Cai Lian was quick-thinking, so instead of hastily dealing with it, it would be better to give it to Shen Yuxiang. Thinking about it, there will be another good show in the future.
Since Shen Fengxu said this, it was inconvenient for others to say anything more.
But Shen Yuxiang was a little reluctant: "Since Cai Lian is the maid who made a mistake in Rongxue Yuan, there is no reason to give it to me? If Sixth Sister doesn't want her, she can just send her to burn fire and chop wood, even if she is disposed of on the spot. Okay, but I don’t want it.”
As a servant, no one would dare to use a person who is loyal and has ulterior motives. Even if he was picking lotus flowers today to give false evidence for Shen Yuxiang, Shen Yuxiang would still not pick lotus flowers.
Chen Fengxu looked at Cai Lian with some regret: "Since Fourth Sister doesn't want you, I have no choice but to hand you over to the steward."
Cai Lian lowered her head and clenched her fingers slightly.
She regretted and hated it, but she was powerless to change. She couldn't say a word at this moment, so she could only let others deal with her.
"Let's all disperse."
After this incident, the old lady was really exhausted mentally and had no intention of talking anymore. She stood up and let Fangzhu help her into the inner room.
As soon as the old lady left, everyone else had no reason to stay in Yunsongyuan and they all dispersed.
…
After leaving Yunsong Courtyard, Shen Fengxu went to Xiangmei Courtyard to visit Shen Yumin.
What happened today was naturally her fault.
It's just a bit of a pity that she originally planned for the eldest lady, but she didn't want to end up with the eldest lady in the game, not the eldest lady, but Shen Yuxiang.
Shen Yuxiang often went to Chunfang Courtyard of the First Lady, so it was not unusual for her to meet Cai Lian, and she had a deep quarrel with Chen Fengxu. Naturally, she couldn't bear her temper, so she deliberately slandered Shen Fengxu.
"The girl is really clever!" Cinsha smiled happily, "They only wanted to deal with the girl, but now they shot themselves in the foot. It's really satisfying!"
"It's not entirely me, but thanks to Chensha's delicate mind." Shen Fengxu just smiled, "If it weren't for Chensha secretly watching the lotus picking, today might not have been so smooth."
"So it turns out that Cinsha knew this all along? Why did she hide it from my maid?" Hearing this, Cinsha was a little dissatisfied, "I really frightened my maid today. I also want to do something for the girl."
"If you find out, I'm afraid not everyone in the house will know about it." Chen Fengxu shook his head and laughed. Cinsha has always been outspoken. Although she is loyal, it is more secure to leave such matters to Chensha.
"How could your servant be so open-minded?"
"Don't you know it yourself?" Shen Fengxu raised his eyes, "Is there anything in our courtyard that you didn't shout about?"
"Hehe, that's not because the girl is spoiled."
"You're quite proud."
"No! Your servant will definitely change it!"
The three masters and servants walked on the bluestone path, Cinsha followed closely behind Shen Fengxu, but Cinsha was always a few steps behind the two of them.
She followed behind, only listening to the chat between Shen Fengxu and Dansha, but did not interrupt, with the usual calm expression on her face.
Occasionally she wanted to chat and joke with Chen Fengxu like Cinnabar, but in the end she just looked at them quietly, as if she was no longer involved.
At this time, Chen Fengxu stood under the apricot tree, stopped and turned around to look at Chensha, her smile was as soft and gentle as the spring breeze, and she heard her call: "Chensha, come here."
Chensha responded and stepped forward.
Chen Fengxu casually picked a few apricot flowers from the tree and inserted them into Chensha's hair.
A faint fragrance of pear blossoms came from Chen Fengxu's body, and the cinnabar froze in place for a moment, and only heard a sound in his ears, like the spring rain in March, thin and continuous.
“It’s very beautiful.”
For a moment, it seemed like apricot blossoms were falling, so beautiful.
