Chapter 975 Captured
A burst of anger went straight to Zhuo's head, and she glared at Chu Jingxiu with burning eyes, "Don't slander me. What does the old lady's poisoning have to do with this princess? What's the benefit of my princess poisoning her? Not only is there no benefit, but also I have to drag the two of them, Ding You, to stay at home. Am I stupid, or have my head been bitten by a donkey? I will poison the old lady and do something like this, which will end up costing others and not benefiting myself. "
Zhuo had a hot temper and was not a master who would let others bully her. Chu Jingxiu unjustly accused her and threw dirty water on her head, but she immediately returned the favor, "You are different. Who doesn't know that your Min family is a poor family? Dozens of people in the family are living on a depleted diet, unable to make ends meet. I heard that some even cook You always borrow rice and food from your relatives. In the past few years, for the sake of the Min family, you have come to visit frequently, and you have also coaxed money from the old lady's hands. Maybe it is the old lady's money and property that you are jealous of. , If you want to get it alone, you are determined to poison the old lady.”
"During this period, you have been serving the old lady every step of the way. On the surface, you pretend to be filial and filial so that everyone can praise you. In fact, you just want to coax the old lady's money. As long as the old lady dies, she will Maybe you coaxed all of my property away. Maybe you had planned this all along and deliberately poisoned the old lady. On the surface, you wanted to be a filial granddaughter, and the easy-to-coax old lady gave you all her property. , isn’t it?”
"No, no, you have wronged someone, Capt. Li. Don't believe her words. I didn't. I really never poisoned my grandmother. Capt. Li, you must believe my words." Chu Jingxiu panicked, for fear of Capt. Li Hui believed Zhuo's words because he was afraid of the power of Anjun Prince's Mansion.
She cried and shouted, desperately complaining that she was wronged.
"Captain Li, you have to believe me. I really didn't poison my grandmother. I didn't harm anyone. They did it, not me..."
Li Captou is not a brainless person. He can tell who is true and who is false as soon as he hears what Zhuo and Chu Jingxiu say.
The Zhuo family is extremely wealthy, and Chu Xuanyu and Chu Jingqi are in high positions. Even if she is tired of living, she will not be stupid enough to harm her nominal mother-in-law.
Chu Jingxiu is the wife of the number one scholar. Although her family's financial situation is a little tighter, according to his investigation, Chu Jingxiu had not been to Chu's house before the old lady was poisoned. Therefore, there is some truth in what she said. He will have to conduct in-depth investigation to find out. .
Li Captou ignored Chu Jingxiu's crying. After saying goodbye to Mr. Zhuo, he escorted Chu Jingxiu back to the Yamen.
After they left, Mrs. Zhuo still felt angry and scolded Chu Jingxiu angrily.
"I thought she was pitiful, and she was often punished by Aunt Min's family in my husband's family, so I felt a little pity for her. Every time she secretly came to the old lady's house to catch the autumn wind, I turned a blind eye and pretended I don’t know, I am in charge of all the big and small affairs in this house, so what? There was one thing she could hide from me. I didn't kick her out because there was still some relationship between the two families. I didn't expect that when she was about to die, she actually wanted to bite me. My thoughts were... It was really eaten by the dog.”
Mrs. Zhuo stamped her feet so angrily that she almost made a hole in the embroidered shoes on her feet.
Xia Zihan advised, "Mom, don't be angry. When we meet such a relative, we can only consider ourselves unlucky. If a dog bites us, we can't pounce on him and bite him back, don't you think?"< br>
"That's right, if you bite her, it won't hurt her, and you'll still have to make her hair tickle."
Zhuo's face softened a little, "Let's go and see the old lady."
Chu Jingxiu was captured by Capt. Li. Mrs. Chu was distressed or resentful. Mrs. Zhuo really wanted to see it with her own eyes.
When we arrived outside the yard where Mrs. Chu lived, before she even entered the house, she heard Mrs. Chu gasping and cursing, "...Those who kill with a thousand swords wish that I would die early. If I die, you can get it." Benefits, bah... I'm good for a penny I won't leave anything for you. When you starve to death and go to the Palace of Hell, I will seek revenge from you. Ahem...you loser, cheap maid, rotten bastard, how dare you fuck on top of my head. Shit, I’m not afraid of killing you..."
"I had good intentions to find you a top scholar and let you become his wife, but in the end, you couldn't even eat enough, and your useless things were taken by a shrew, and you dared to come to me and complain about your poverty, asking for If I hadn't given you a few taels of silver every now and then, your family would have starved to death long ago." Mrs. Chu's voice was weak, and she still coughed a few times, but her scolding became more and more vigorous.
Mrs. Zhuo and Xia Zihan did not go in, but stood outside the courtyard gate and listened happily. It was not until Mrs. Chu stopped scolding that Ms. Zhuo turned around and returned to the flower room in high spirits.
Xia Zihan told Chu Qing, "Go to the government to see how the case is progressing."
In fact, I just wanted to see if Chu Jingxiu was the real murderer.
Chu Qing nodded in agreement, and Chu Meng also wanted to go, looking at his master eagerly, "Princess, please go with Chu Qing. I heard that there are many people in the government, so the two of us will inquire separately, maybe we can come back soon."< br>
"If you want to hear gossip, just say it. Why make excuses." Chu Qiao pouted. She also wanted to go, but Chu Meng spoke first, so she couldn't talk anymore.
There are many personal maids serving the princess, but Chu Fei is injured. Chu Ji and Chu Xiao have to take care of her. Sister Chu Cong has gone to the small courtyard. Sister Chu Lin is not in the capital. There are still dozens of people in the small courtyard. , there must be someone to lead it.
Chu Yun followed Chu Kuang to Jiangnan in February. The princess said that she had a talent for business, so she asked her to learn business with Chu Kuang.
Chu Qingmeng and her are the only three people left with the princess. Chu Qing and Chu Meng are going to the Yamen, so she is the only maid left with the princess.
If she left again, the princess would be thirsty and wanted to drink water, so she would have to pour it herself. How could Chu Qiao be willing to let her master do it herself? Therefore, even if she wanted to go to the Yamen again, she would not speak, but would stab her unwillingly. Say something to Chu Meng.
Chu Meng laughed and didn't take it seriously, and made a face at Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao's face turned dark with anger. She put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm telling you, when you two come back, you're going to have to do everything." Report the situation outside.”
"Got it."
Chu Meng knew that Chu Qiao also wanted to hear gossip, but there was no one around the princess to wait on her, so she couldn't open her mouth.
After Chu Qing and Chu Meng left, Xia Zihan and Zhuo went to the small flower hall, where the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat on the kang to do needlework.
Chu Qiao and several of Zhuo's maids were busy waiting below.
Chu Yixuan and Chu Yijie, sweating profusely from running, rushed into the flower hall like a locomotive.
