Chapter 176 One Grit, Mei's Framed
Su Ke's eyes saw Mei's increasingly painful expression and was very impatient to be entangled in these unclear trivial details. At this time, he said, "Mother, Chen's heart is malicious, and naturally she has to shirk it in every way. Everyone knows that Chanjuan has some friendship with her, and she has that golden pendant..."
"Yes, Mrs. Mingjian, the maidservant dare not lie even if she was bold. It was indeed Grandma Li who handed over the daughter to her aunt, and the maidservant also over accidentally heard their conversation, saying that she wanted to poison her aunt's medicine through Chanjuan." Lan Xin couldn't wait to say.
"Since you knew it earlier, why didn't you report it?" The eldest princess snorted coldly.
Lan Xin's forehead suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and kowtowed tremblingly: "Madam, forgive me. After all, I'm just a maid, and I dare not say much."
"I dare not say much, but you have said a lot at this time." The eldest princess shook her head and glanced at Mei Shi: "Mr. Chen reported this matter to me early, and the daughter was also handed over to me. Originally, as soon as she was intimidated by her in-law and worried about her second daughter-in-law, she discussed it with the fourth girl. The fourth girl didn't know what to do for a moment, so she thought of me. I couldn't figure it out if Chen really had Harmful heart, why do you want to be honest about this?"
Su Ke didn't expect that there was such a layer of things. He was stunned for a moment and had doubts in the bottom of his heart. His eyes looking at Chen were not as sharp as before.
Mr. Li already felt that his mind was chaotic, and at this time, he could not pay attention to grievances and was in a chair like a wooden stake.
Of course, Mei Shi was shocked. He wanted to look at the princess's expression secretly, but he happened to meet two cold eyes. He lowered his eyes in a panic, and finally couldn't help shaking his wrist holding the silk handkerchief.
The eldest princess did not let go of this, but still stared at Mei: "Chenjuan is your maid. Since you let her serve the soup, it must be useful. Otherwise, she would not have known that she had some friendship with Chen and would have been so permissive."
Mei's heart tightened and looked at Su Ke like asking for help, but saw that he just frowned and meditated, and couldn't help screaming secretly - she tried her best to plan out such a plan, and she must not fail. Today, no matter what, she can't let Li get out and bite her teeth, as if she tried her best to endure the grief in her heart, still gently Answer: "It's all my concubine's negligence. She thought that Aunt Chen was still regular, so she didn't set up defense."
"In this way, are you also sure that it is Chen's poison?" The eldest princess asked.
"Madam, although Aunt Chen reported to you earlier, maybe it's just to hide people's eyes and ears. After all, everyone knows what she and Chanjuan wants to do well. I'm afraid that she can't get rid of the suspicion, so she didn't plan... My concubine's miscarriation is indeed caused by taking depravity, and Chanjuan did find thousands of money. If it hadn't for her, there would have been Who?" Mei did not dare to look at the eldest princess and only looked at Su Ke: "Second Master, after all, that's your flesh and blood, and I dare not investigate... Besides, Aunt Chen did go to the courtyard, and Chanjuan did die there..."
Su Ke had a little doubt at this time. She was shaken by Mei's tears again and stared at Chen fiercely before saying to the eldest princess, "Mother, what Mei said is reasonable."
"Since Mei's pregnancy, you have rarely set foot in Canglang Garden. Why did you go back yesterday?" The eldest princess asked unslowly.
Su Ke was stunned again, but had to answer: "It's because of Mei's virtuous that I advised me to see the Li family."
"It's really a coincidence of virtuous." The eldest princess's eyebrows were solemn: "For so many years, Mei has never been so virtuous, but yesterday, she suddenly became virtuous."
If Su Ke was not in Canglangyuan yesterday, and Aunt Chen has been waiting for Lishi to disappear in Tongyouting for a long time. For the sake of safety, she will definitely go to know. If she knew that Lishi did not have this order at that time, she would be suspicious of Lan Xin, who sent the message. At that time, Chanjuan may not have become a body. Ruoli and Aunt Chen doubted and went Will Tong Youting just witness the scene of murder?
According to Yijing's speculation, Mei should be fully sure, and Li is jealous, while Chen has always been cautious. When he knew that Su Ke was in Canglangyuan, he would never disturb the two of them, so he became rarely virtuous.
Su Ke also heard the irony of the eldest princess. Although she wanted to defend Mei, she did not dare to contradict her mother.
Meishi has woken up and knows that the eldest princess is going to defend Li. How can she be willing? All she can rely on is Su Ke. She must not let him shake at this important juncture. She was eagerly and knelt on the ground again: "Madam, do you suspect that my concubine did not hesitate to hurt the fetus in her womb and framed Chen? Madam Mingjian, my concubine suffered from the cold when she was in the boudoir, so it was not easy to get pregnant, and she would never be so cruel. Speaking of later, he fainted and his body was even more shaky
Su Ke was disturbed by Mei's grief, grievance and desolation, and then knelt down: "Mother, Mei was born in a scholarly family. She knows books and etiquette, and will never do such a vicious thing, mother..."
Xianghui also walked forward on her knees at this time, and kowtowed her head: "Madam, I am the maidservant of my aunt. I have been serving her since I was at the eyebrow family. My aunt has been kind since she was a child. This lady also knows how she could have done such a vicious thing? Please be clear and give my aunt justice."
"You are a loyal protector." The eldest princess said coolly.
Mei quickly scolded in a low voice: "Xianghui, you are presumptuous." Another plea, saying that Xianghui was the maidservant who beat the little waiter. In order to avoid being anxious for her, she was unscrupulous and asked the eldest princess for forgiveness.
Seeing that the eldest princess was unmoved, Mei bit her teeth and kowtowed, becoming more and more pitiful.
Su Ke really couldn't bear it and wanted to lift the eyebrows.
"Let her kneel." The eldest princess stopped it decisively.
The eyebrows are completely dull.
All this seems to be out of her reservation. She believes that the eldest princess has long been dissatisfied with the Li family, that is, she gritted her teeth and tolerated it after considering her reputation. However, this time, it involved children and a human life. The eldest princess should no longer defend the Li family. How can you look at the current situation, the eldest princess completely ignore it?
"Mother... A Mei suffered the pain of child birth..." Su Ke also wanted to plead for mercy.
"If she doesn't support her, why bother dragging her sick body and watch you divorce your wife." The eldest princess said coldly, "I think she has just had a minor labor, but she is very energetic."
"Madam, I know that I am humble, but that child is also your grandson." Mei's heart was in turmoil, and her unwillingness and resentment were surging - over the years, the eldest princess has ignored her old feelings. Although she was accepted as a second concubine, she turned a deaf ear to her. At this point, she still had to support the Li family: "Madam, this matter is clearly the lady who instructed Chen... ..."
"Meishi, you are so bold that you dare to defile the main room!" The eldest princess shook her head: "If you don't show evidence today, I won't tolerate you."
Step by step, it is obvious that Mei and Li have not been allowed to coexist.
Xianghui couldn't help it anymore: "Madam is so unfair that I saw Aunt Chen's sachet fall on the scene of the murder. If it hadn't been for the person she killed, who else would have been? Although my aunt is a concubine, she is also the daughter of the second master's mentor. The old lady can't treat my aunt like this.
Yijing looked at Su Ke and saw that he was obviously suspicious at this time. He gradually stood up and stood silently.
The eldest princess's attitude was so resolute that she was convinced that it was Mei's filth. Although Su Ke was biased with Mei, she believed that the eldest princess would not do so for no reason. At this time, he also gradually became confused and carefully thought about the strange things in it.
Mei obviously noticed that Su Ke had been shaken, so he was unwilling to give up and crawled in front of Su Ke and begged: "Second master, I know that I should not have disobeyed my father and the lady's feelings at the beginning. I should listen to the arrangements of the elders to marry someone else's wife, but the second master, my concubine is really unwilling, and my concubine has a childhood sweetheart to the second master. Friendship, as long as I am with the second master, my concubine is enough for me to live. I finally have the second master's flesh and blood. How can I abandon my second master's children in order to frame others... Over the years, my concubine has been disrespectful to the second lady? But this time, the concubine was really unbearable. The second lady was harmed by the flesh and blood of the concubine and the second master.
Originally, Mei only pointed his spearhead at Chen, but under the "forcement" of the eldest princess, he could no longer resist and wanted to face Li's knife.
"The old lady asked her concubine for evidence. Isn't what Xianghui said evidence?" Mei covered her face and cried: "Madam, because Xianghui is my concubine's maid, you don't think her words are enough to believe, but that sachet is indeed Aunt Chen's thing..."
"How does Aunt Mei know?" The question is the scenery.
"It was recognized by the maidservant. At that time, I was shocked and afraid to see Chanjuan die. For a moment, I didn't think of the source of the sachet. Later, I remembered to see Aunt Chen taking it on her." Xianghui quickly explained, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Lan Xin. She is Aunt Chen's personal maid and must know this thing."
Lan Xin quickly admitted: "The sachet was indeed embroidered by Aunt Chen herself. Yesterday, the maidservant saw her carry it on her body, but when she changed her clothes at night, it disappeared."
Yi Jing smiled and said, "Since the sachet was picked up by Xianghui, it has been handed over to my grandmother. Lan Xin didn't see it, so you are sure it's Aunt Chen's?"
Lan Xin was stunned on the spot.
Yijing asked Chen, who had been watching coldly, "Aunt Chen, did you wear a sachet yesterday?"
"My concubine did wear a sachet." Chen replied methodically, "It's a coincidence that when the concubine returned to the house from the secluded, Lan Xin accidentally spilled tea on the concubine's skirt, and the sachet was also wet with tea. Later, Lan Xin changed her clothes for the concubine, and the sachet was naturally cleaned up by her."
Yi Jing turned around again and said to the eldest princess, "Grandma, can you let Aunt Chen distinguish the sachet?"
The eldest princess knew that her granddaughter was digging a pit and setting up a trap. She let her play and only nodded slightly.
Aunt Chen naturally recognized that the sachet was indeed her own.
"That's strange. This sachet was clearly taken away by Lan Xin. How could it fall to the scene of the murder? Is it true that the murderer who killed Chanjuan turned out to be Lanxin? Yijing looked at Lan Xin, her eyes were not sharp, and she seemed to be playful.
Lanxin suddenly bombarded like five thunder: "No one of me stayed in the secluded court. How can I kill Chanjuan? This is my aunt who defiled the maidservant in order to get rid of the crime. Why did the maidservant have poured tea on my aunt? It's really wrong."
"But you didn't see this sachet just now, so you are sure it's Aunt Chen's. Why? I think you are colluding with Xianghui and want to trap Aunt Chen from injustice. Yijing raised her eyebrows and said, "Uncle, the truth is that Lan Xin deliberately faked the words of the second aunt and coaxed Aunt Chen to go to the court. As for the purpose, it was nothing more than to cause Aunt Chen to be suspected of murder. Therefore, she deliberately found an excuse to leave for a while and specifically quarreled with the maid in our courtyard, so that there was Witness."
"When Aunt Chen returned to the house, she deliberately wet her aunt's clothes, took off the sachet on her waist and gave it to Xianghui. Xianghui was known all over the house last night in order to find Chanjuan. This morning, she found Chanjuan's body again. This sachet was also picked up by her at the scene. All this is really seamless. ."
After saying this, Yijing shook her head with regret and sighed gently.
