Chapter 776 A word awakens the dreamer
You are not willing to use it yourself, how can I take advantage of others?
Xia Zihan secretly cursed, but responded, "Chu Yuxin appreciates my aunt's love. Next time I go to Jiangnan, I will definitely go to my aunt's house to chat."
Mrs. Yuan grinned, her lips were as sweet as honey, "It's settled, Wife Aqi, I don't treat you as an outsider. I am Aunt Aqi, and I am only one step away from my biological mother." Zi, you are Aqi’s daughter-in-law, and our relationship is not much worse than that between you and your mother.”
If there is one word difference, then there is too much difference.
The word "lady" and "woman" are also different, but one is an insider and the other is an outsider, so how can they be the same?
Xia Zihan raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. There was a trace of ridicule on the corners of her lips, "What Auntie said is true, and I don't treat Auntie as an outsider."
"Your aunt is my eldest sister, a relative of the Chu family and my natal family. No one in this house would dare to treat her as an outsider." Mrs. Zhuo took up the topic.
Chu Jingqi kept standing next to the bed with an expressionless face, staring closely at Xia Zihan, as if someone had stolen his wife away and she would disappear in the blink of an eye. Mrs. Zhuo was so horrified that she was too embarrassed to get in. forward.
She sat for a while and saw the maid came in with a broom and swept away all the broken porcelain pieces. Chu Qing also came in and put the tea set that was missing a cup into a box. She couldn't sit still.
She looked at Mrs. Zhuo and said, "Little sister, it's getting dark soon. It's time to serve dinner. Let's not disturb the princess's meal. She is taking care of herself now, so we can't delay her meal time. ”
Mrs. Zhuo glanced at the sky outside and said, "That's right. Let's go first. Ayu, you have to eat well. If you want to eat anything, tell the maid to tell mother. Mother will tell the cook to cook it for you. Cook If you can’t make it, my mother will send someone to Juxianglou to order it.”
"Well, I understand, thank you, mother."
"Silly boy, what are you saying to mom about thank you? As a family, we are not allowed to say thank you in the future." Mrs. Zhuo pretended to have a straight face, and Xia Zihan said hurriedly, "I understand, mom, I won't say thank you anymore." >
Mrs. Zhuo then smiled and told Chu Jingqi worriedly, "You must take good care of Ayu and don't be careless."
Chu Jingqi just hummed coldly, gave Mrs. Zhuo and Mrs. Yuan a luxurious look, and said, "Auntie, I will send someone to take you back."
"No, no, no, we will get lost if we follow your mother." Mrs. Zhuo said hurriedly.
Mrs. Yuan seemed to have thought of something and wanted to say a few words to Chu Jingqi, but as soon as Chu Jingqi said goodbye and sent them to the door, they turned around and went into the house, even closing the door.
The corners of Mrs. Yuan's mouth twitched and she swallowed the words back.
Chu Lin and others were interrogating a group of maids outside. Until night, they still had not found the murderer. Chu Lin and Chu Lin discussed it and came to report to the two masters.
Chu Lin had a drooped face and replied, "Master, Prince, most of the maids have proved that they did not come to Yuqiong Garden at that time. Those maids who were not suspicious, the slaves let them go back, and there were a few others who were. The maid who is suspected of being innocent has been detained. Should I lock her up or put her back first?"
"Who is there?" Xia Zihan asked.
"There was one in the big kitchen, the cook's daughter. She was not in the kitchen at the time, and no one saw her. She said she..." Chu Lin glanced at Chu Jingqi sheepishly, and continued with a smile, "She said she would come I was menstruating and had a stomachache, so I secretly went to my room to rest without even saying a word to the housekeeper and the cook.”
"The cook's daughter? That girl named Xiaogu?" Xia Zihan thought of Xiaogu in her mind. She was a very lively and active girl who was hard-working and never lazy. However, she came here every month Menstruation often causes stomachaches, and she knew this unintentionally.
When there was a banquet in the mansion, she went to the kitchen to give instructions to the cook. She happened to see Xiaogu pressing his stomach, his face turning pale in pain. At that time, she also prescribed a medicine for her sister-in-law and ordered the maid to give it to her. Medicinal materials, so I remember things very clearly.
Xia Zihan said, "She will be put back first. Anyone else who is not too suspicious will be put back first." Anyway, they couldn't escape from the house.
"Yes, there are six more people. One is on duty in the front hall, one is on duty beside the second young master, and there is another one beside the princess. However, this maid said that she went out at that time, and she just happened to see her going out. The concierge suddenly fell ill and took leave to see the doctor, so no one could prove her, so the servant kept her. "
"In addition, there is a maid next to the cousin girl of the Zhuo family, and a maid next to the young master of the Yuan family. No one saw them."
No one can prove what they were doing at that time, so they are highly suspicious.
"Originally, the slave wanted to bring Jiuqi over and let her recognize the person. However, the fox was very aggressive and knocked the person unconscious. Even if she poured ice water on the person, it could not wake the person up. Maybe The torture was too severe.”
Because of this, she angrily punched the fox.
Chu Lin's pretty face turned crimson at the thought of the fox holding her fist in his hand and rubbing it a few times.
She pinched her face hard.
The blush was caused by pinching, not because she was embarrassed. She secretly glared at Chu Cang, who was looking at her with a half-smile.
At that time, Chu Cong was present.
Chu Jingqi didn't seem to notice the two maids looking back and forth. He said expressionlessly, "It can't be proven where they were at that time. There will always be someone in the house who has seen Jiu Qi and that maid together. Since Jiu Qi can't recognize people, there will always be someone." I will recognize the maid.”
One word awakens the dreamer.
Chu Lin slapped her thigh suddenly and shouted, "Yes, no matter how good the maid named Erya is in scheming, she and Jiuqi have met so many times, there will always be someone who has seen her, I will I went to find someone to identify them, but the servants couldn’t find them, and the secret guards must have seen them too.”
There are secret guards everywhere in the mansion, so for this matter, the fox is the right one.
Chu Lin and others went to the dungeon to find the fox, while Chu Jingqi ordered Chu Qing and several maids to prepare dinner.
"I'm not very hungry yet." Xia Zihan said, "I haven't eaten for an hour yet."
"Then we'll wait half an hour later." Chu Jingqi said, leaning over and kissing her on the forehead, "Would you like to sleep for a while? I'll wake you up in half an hour."
"You're not sleepy, please bring your son and let me take a look." After she woke up, she hadn't seen her son yet.
Chu Jingqi called the maid and ordered, "Bring the two young masters here."
The person who came in was Chu Meng. She had just come out of the young master's room next door. She said, "Master, the young master has just finished feeding and has already fallen asleep."
