Chapter 371 Asking a Question
The polished white silver spoon suddenly turned black, which couldn't be more obvious.
"Miss, don't drink it, it's poisonous..." The little maid Baozi saw that when her lady scooped up the sweet soup, the silver spoon had turned black, and her voice trembled with fear.
Li Shu didn't seem to notice the change in the spoon. Looking at the buns, the little maid rolled her eyes and said coquettishly: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a sweet soup carefully prepared for me by my sixth sister."< br>
After Li Shu finished speaking, she was about to put the sweet soup into her lips.
"Miss, you're not lying. It's true. Look, the silver spoon has turned black. It turns black because it's poisonous." The lady's slender hands and bun's face turned pale with fright, fearing that the lady had drunk the sweet soup.
Finally, at the reminder of the little maid Baozi, Li Shuzhen turned her eyes slightly and landed on the spoon in her hand. Then, as if she had seen something incredible, her watery eyes were filled with light. Her pink cherry lips parted slightly and she said "ah".
咣
The sweet soup was placed heavily on the table, and Li Shu turned her watery eyes to the girl who brought the sweet soup.
Then, in the eyes of the girl who brought the sweet soup, the whole world changed.
The fifth lady, who was originally as beautiful as a spring peach with a gentle smile, looked at her with eyes as cold as if she came from the cold winter.
"Giggle...don't be afraid, come on, tell me what's going on?" Li Shu played with the blackened silver spoon in her slender hand, looked at the girl and asked with a smile, "I Why did my dear sister give me a bowl of poisonous soup?”
It’s okay if you don’t smile, but it’s even colder if you smile.
"It's not from the lady." The girl who gave the sweet soup shook her head repeatedly, her voice trembling.
"Oh, giggle. So this sweet soup has grown legs and came to me?" Li Shu glanced at the girl who brought the sweet soup and sneered.
"No, no, that's not what I meant." The girl who gave the sweet soup shook her head again.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Li Shudan asked with a smile, her lips slightly opened.
"My slave is saying that my lady has not poisoned her." The girl who brought the sweet soup shook her head and explained.
"Oh, your lady didn't poison her." Li Shu nodded.
The girl who brought the sweet soup nodded repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second her soul was about to fly away.
"You sent the sweet soup. Your lady didn't poison it, but the sweet soup is poisonous. Does that mean you poisoned it?" Li Shu stood up suddenly and sneered, Looking at the girl who brought the sweet soup, she asked loudly.
"Okay, it turns out you were the one who poisoned me. Why did you poison my lady?" The little maid Baozi's eyes widened in anger, and she wanted to bite the girl a few times.
"No, no, it's not me." The girl who brought the sweet soup turned pale with fright, and she denied it.
"It's a joke, you sent the sweet soup. Your lady didn't poison it, and you didn't poison it. Does that mean I poisoned it myself?" Li Shu asked with a sneer.
The girl below nodded first, then shook her head, and finally became confused.
"Okay, you little hoof and mouth are quite tough. Since you don't like to drink wine, then try to fine me a bar. If you are bullied to the point of being bullied and I don't do something, then You can't be bullied to death." Li Shu's face changed as she spoke, and she ordered coldly. He said, "Come here, tie up the hooves of this bitch who is trying to murder the master."
"Go and send a message to my dear sixth sister. I want to ask in person to see if there is any misunderstanding. . ”
“Go and ask my eldest aunt to make the decision with me. Coming all the way from the south, thanks to the care of the elders in the house, Shu'er was saved from a life of loneliness and dependence on others. Shu'er felt warm in her heart, but today Shu'er just wanted to eat a bowl of sweet soup, but she was almost poisoned to death. Auntie can't make the decision with me, Shu'er doesn't dare to be in the house Stay.”
“Go and ask the second sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister to come over quickly. I heard that Sister Liu will give each of us sisters a piece of sweet soup. I am lucky, but If something bad happens to the three sisters, then I don’t want to live anymore.”
The maids and mothers in Li Shu's courtyard were gearing up and were ready to go. After Li Shu finished giving her instructions, they all carried out the instructions in an orderly manner under the command of the mother in order to show off in front of Li Shu.
The arms of the girl who delivered the sweet soup were twisted by two old ladies, tied behind her back, pulled into the yard, and tied to a tree.
Soon, Mrs. Linhuai Marquis, accompanied by several maids and old ladies, came to Li Shu's yard, and then the second young lady, the third young lady, the fourth young lady and others also came to Li Shu accompanied by their respective maids and old ladies. 's yard.
"Auntie, you have to make the decision for Shuer. Shuer almost lost her sight just now. Shuer was just greedy and asked for a sweet soup from the sixth sister. However, the sweet soup didn't know Someone poisoned me."
< br>As soon as Mrs. Linhuai Marquis arrived, Li Shu trotted up to Mrs. Linhuai Marquis with a frightened look on her face. She weakly and pitifully hugged Mrs. Linhuai Marquis’s arms. Her watery eyes were filled with mist, and it seemed that the next second Tears are about to flow.
Just when Li Shu was about to continue speaking, the sixth lady of the Hou Mansion, who looked aggrieved and aggrieved, also came to Li Shu's yard accompanied by her maid and mother-in-law.
As soon as the sixth lady arrived, she interrupted Li Shu’s complaint and asked Li Shu angrily:
“Fifth sister, I have good intentions to make sweet soup with you, why should I do it? I will poison you if you frame your sister."
As soon as Miss Six said this, everyone turned their attention to Li Shu, as if to see how Li Shu would answer.
"Why did my sister say that? When did my sister say that it was my sister who poisoned me?"
Li Shu looked at the Sixth Miss with a surprised look on her face. She was very confused. She seemed to have no idea why the Sixth Miss would ask this question. Then she looked at Mrs. Linhuai Marquis and the others with wet eyes and asked:
"I I never said the poison was administered by my sister, eldest aunt, second sister Did you hear Shu'er say that just now? "
Under Li Shu's gaze, Mrs. Linhuai Hou and the others all shook their heads. Just now Li Shu just stated the facts, saying that she told Miss Six I asked for a sweet soup, but was poisoned. I didn't say who poisoned me.
Seeing the Marquis of Linhuai and the others shaking their heads, Li Shu slightly raised the corners of her lips, saluted to the Marquis of Linhuai, and walked lightly to Miss Sixth, her dark eyes staring straight into the sky. She looked at the Sixth Miss and asked: "My sister also saw it. My eldest aunt and my sisters all testified for me. It was nothing just now. Now that I think about my sister's words carefully, I want to ask my sister, why did my sister say that my sister framed my sister for poisoning? Does it mean that my sister knew something?"
"Sister, why do you say this to your sister? My sister feels aggrieved." The sixth lady of Hou Mansion looked at Li Shu with a hurt face, her round and cute little face was full of weakness and pity.
"What did I say? I just asked my sister. Could it be that my sister was almost poisoned to death, so I can't even ask her?" Li Shu said, the mist in her watery eyes getting thicker.
“You!” Miss Six was speechless.
"Shu'er, Zhu'er, please stop arguing. Let's talk slowly one by one. Shu'er, you go first." Mrs. Linhuai Marquis stopped the argument between the two.
Li Shu first asked the little maid Baozi to take out the sweet soup and spoon from the room, looked at everyone, then came to the tied girl with the sweet soup and asked four questions.
Did you bring this sweet soup?
After you brought the sweet soup, has the sweet soup ever left your sight?
Did I find that the spoon turned black when I served it in front of you?
Did you poison me?
These four questions, the first three questions, the girl who brought the sweet soup nodded vigorously, and as for the fourth question, she shook her head vigorously.
"Aunt, Shu'er has no problem. Please make the decision for Shu'er." After Li Shu asked these four questions, she looked at Mrs. Linhuai Marquis and became speechless. (End of chapter)
