Views:

Ming Na felt that it was necessary to contact the Security Agency again, tell them what she saw about old Fox, and also inquire about the interrogation.

However, when she wanted to find another excuse to leave Heda's house, she was rejected by the old gardener, saying that if there was anything she wanted to buy, she could tell the housekeeper's assistant and wait until the person responsible for purchasing went out to buy it together. Ming Na was anxious and made another excuse, but was still rejected. She was worried that it would arouse other people's suspicions and did not dare to mention it again. However, her desire to go out became stronger and stronger.

Although she had some calculations in her mind, she was secretly frightened by the old gardener's strange behavior. When he called her alone to the cabin where the tools were kept for questioning, she was finally sure that her actions during the day had attracted the attention of some people. doubt.

The old gardener looked her up and down and then asked: "I heard that you were sneaking around in the rose garden today. What were you doing? The flowers there are all rare varieties. Are you trying to steal them?"

Mingna hurriedly said: "Of course not. Even if I steal the flowers, I can't sell them, so what's the use?" She rolled her eyes and said boldly: "Uncle, I saw that the lawn over there is not very flat. I just wanted to see what was going on, but..." She pretended to be mysterious and whispered: "I saw a few strange holes there, and there were sounds coming from inside."

The old gardener hurriedly covered her mouth, took a quick look outside the door, and then came back to glare at her: "You girl, if you can't do your job properly, why do you care about such things?! Is it allowed to say such nonsense? Ming Na looked confused: "Isn't it possible? Uncle, do you know where that place is? "

The old gardener sighed: "It's hell..."

This word is quite suitable to describe the secret room. Ming Na asked deliberately: "Hell?! How is it possible? Isn't this the noble man's mansion?"

The old gardener refused to reveal any more: "In short, just pretend you don't know about this and never tell anyone else about it. Remember? Otherwise the master will find out and will definitely kick you out!" "

His eyes widened. Ming Na pretended to be frightened by him, but Wei Wei said she didn't dare anymore. After walking out of the hut, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she should have passed the test.

The old gardener did not return to his post, but walked towards the mansion. When he reached the side entrance, he poked his head around to find someone to take him in, when he suddenly saw the second young master Akers dragging Dorothy down the stairs. The latter was cooing coquettishly, but Akers seemed to be a little absent-minded, answering every sentence. When he saw the old gardener, he raised his eyebrows and raised his chin towards the beauty beside him. He motioned for her to come forward and ask.

Dorothy looked aggrieved, feeling that her status was no longer the same and she should no longer do this kind of messenger work. That was the responsibility of low-level servants. After being glared at by Akers, she walked over reluctantly. He asked angrily: "You old guy, if you don't work in the garden, what are you doing here? Do you want to steal something?!"

The old gardener frowned. Ignoring her, he turned to Akers and said, "The young master asked me to do something. I have already done it and came here to report to him."

"Brother?" Akers reluctantly accepted a face-to-face conversation with the servant. "He is accompanying a guest. What do you want to say to him? Just tell me and I will tell him."

The old gardener hesitated for a moment, then thought of telling the second young master the same thing, so he told him that Esparo ordered him to find out Minna's true intention of approaching the rose garden. He concealed her discovery of the hole in the grass and only said that she It was because he saw the uneven lawn that he became curious, and he added: "Mary (Ming Na's pseudonym) is a distant relative of the third-class cook here in the mansion. She was introduced as a replacement because the cook had to resign. He is only twelve years old this year. He is also a bit stupid, so he should not be a suspicious person."

Akers sneered: "Brother is just suspicious. It's not strange for a maid to do chores in the garden, and for such a young child, what's suspicious about it? Okay, I'll tell him, you go back Bar."

The old gardener retired respectfully, while Dorothy was thoughtful.

Ming Na knew that she had aroused the suspicion of others and was afraid that her identity would be revealed, so she worked honestly for two days, but she gradually couldn't wait any longer. There has been no news from the Security Department, and she cannot go out to deliver the information. She can only sneak into the rose garden at night, eavesdrop on the sounds in the cave, and pop some water balls and pills in. But how effective can this be? She was worried that the Hedda family would discover her sooner or later, and she was even more worried that her father and the horse would not be able to survive.

As for Old Fox, she took the opportunity to water the flower beds under the window of the mansion and watched him a few times. She found that he rarely left the room. The person who delivered food and daily necessities every day was Hedda's eldest son Esparo. The valets and other servants, not to mention delivering things, even if they were close to the corridor outside the guest room where he lived, they would be chased away by guards who appeared out of nowhere.

It seems that old Fox cannot be known to live here.

Minna remembered that the servants had mentioned during the conversation that Esparo worked in the Legal Affairs Department, and it was the prison of the Legal Affairs Department where Old Fox was imprisoned. Could it be that he secretly took Old Fox out

If this can be proven, does it mean that it can be proven that the Hedda family and the Fox family are all traitors

Ming Na was so anxious that she could not wait to find an opportunity to go out immediately and notify the security agency. But even though Esparo seemed to no longer suspect her, he still couldn't get the old gardener's permission to go out. What should she do

It was almost evening, and she entered the mansion carrying a large basket of flowers and walked to the small living room. Mrs. Helen asked for this, saying it was for a family concert in the evening. It's just a matter of drinking a cup of tea together and listening to two young masters playing a mediocre piece of music. Is it necessary to be so particular? Ming Na smiled mockingly, wondering what on earth she was doing here? Are you waiting for an enemy

There were footsteps coming from the front, and the owner of the house came in from the outside with his three adult sons, all of them with joy on their faces. Ming Na quickly stepped aside, bowed her head and cursed again. But when she heard what those men said. All attention was drawn to it.

"Today is really a joy. Father, have you seen the faces of the people in the Security Agency? They are so ugly!" This is the second eldest brother, Akers, with a frivolous face.

Esparo glanced at him, with the same smile on his lips: "Of course, we have made arrangements, and now the suspicion of treason has been transferred to them. Who will say that we are the mastermind behind this?"

"That's right, that's right." Akers became more and more happy as he thought about it. "They also specifically requested that Old Fox be taken away from the Legal Affairs Department. Now the witness is retracting his confession in front of their eyes. The trouble is them, and it has nothing to do with us. As long as they don’t search our home, they can’t pin the crime on us!”

Esparo coughed and glared at him, and his father turned back to glare at him: "Be careful what you say. If someone hears it outside, we will be in trouble!" Only then did Akers realize that he had missed the point. He didn't care, he just smiled, even if he apologized.

Etta, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Is it really okay? I saw His Majesty the King's face today, and it doesn't seem to be very good. I suspect that he already has doubts about our family."

Akers frowned: "Etta, why are you here again? Can't you pour cold water on me a few times? It's like this every time!"

The father of the three also glanced at Etta displeasedly, and the latter lowered his head and said: "I just think that things at home seem to be too rampant recently, and even private soldiers are sent out openly. I'm afraid His Majesty the King will be dissatisfied, right?" "

As soon as he said this, the other three people's expressions didn't look good. Esparo coughed lightly and said with a smile: "My dear brother, you just like to worry about unnecessary things. Don't forget, Aunt Lorna will speak for us in front of the king. His Majesty will never speak to us. There is a misunderstanding, if there is really any adverse situation, aunt will notify us immediately, so don’t worry."

He turned to his father: "Now the Security Bureau is busy proving their innocence. I'm afraid they don't have time to cause trouble for us. Just find time to clean up the people who are imprisoned. They won't last long anyway."

Etta immediately interjected: "Brother, you promised to hand that person over to my disposal, but you are the one making the decision from the beginning to the end!"

"My brother, isn't it the same for me to make a decision and for you to make a decision?" Esparo smiled and caressed his shoulder, "Anyway, you always feel uncomfortable if you do it. It's better to let me do it. It will be more effective." Let you vent your anger? Okay, I know you have never been good at these things, leave it all to me, you don't have to worry about it." He smiled and said to his father: "I am happy today, why don't my father open a good bottle of wine? How about our father and son? How about a nice drink?"

Heda retracted her displeased gaze towards her third son and glanced at her eldest son: "You brat, you know how to take advantage of my treasures!" But she did not refuse. Akers was busy discussing which bottle of wine was more delicious.

Etta felt weak for a while, but didn't know how to speak. Just then, two little brothers rushed over and pestered their father to listen to their newly learned piano music. The father and son went to the living room happily, and Etta was also The eldest brother dragged him away.

Ming Na stood up straight, looking at those people with eyes full of hatred, and the flower basket she held in her hand had deformed.

How could she just let these people go

She hurried to hand over the flower basket, ignoring the complaints about the shape of the flower basket from the favored maids around Mrs. Helen. She hurried back to her hut and dug out all the potion materials and potions she had collected in the garden during this period. A pot of medicine was boiled in a broken earthen pot.

Since she separated from her grandfather, she has been grateful countless times to the potion master Sauron for teaching her so many things. She had complained before that he had a bad attitude and was procrastinating, only willing to teach basic potions and not even a single clever recipe. But now she felt that fortunately Sauron had taught her enough basic knowledge about picking, identifying, and How to handle the ingredients for potions, otherwise, she might have died long ago in the past four years.

Carefully boil the concoction in the pot into a paste, dry it again, grind it into powder, use plant juice to form small pills, wrap them in handkerchiefs, and put them in your pocket.

This is a chronic poison, colorless and odorless, and dissolves when exposed to alcohol. She wanted to find an opportunity to put the medicine into the drinks of the men named Heda to see how long they could stay arrogant!

She walked out of the hut and was about to go into the mansion to find an opportunity to poison her, but suddenly she saw a figure sitting on the porch, drinking bottle after bottle of wine. She took a closer look. It turned out to be Etta.

this person. The one who caused Dad to suffer in the secret room.

Ming Na gritted her teeth for a while, then suddenly thought of an idea, and walked over deliberately with a heavy step.

Etta heard the footsteps and raised one eye to take a look: "Uh... you are doing some odd jobs, right? Bring me a few bottles of wine!"

well said! Ming Na immediately went to the wine cellar to get two bottles of wine, then walked back to a deserted area. He quietly threw the pills in, and then gave them to Etta to drink.

After that, she often moved around the Grape Gallery. Every time she saw Etta drinking, she would deliberately approach her, and then take the opportunity to drug her while holding the wine. She watched Etta's face gradually darken, but she didn't notice it at all. She just thought It's the reason why I haven't had any rest recently. She was secretly happy.

Inspired by this, she took up the idea of other members of the Hedda family. There are not many poison pills. Instead of spreading them over several people, it is better to poison one person specifically, but others cannot be so cheap. She noticed that the hostess, Mrs. Helen, made rose tea for everyone in the family every day after dinner, and she had an idea.

She collected several flower buds and roots and mixed them into a brew of tea. This kind of scented tea has a pleasant fragrance, but in fact, drinking it for a long time will form toxins in the human body. If the drinker eats a lot of meat, toxins will accumulate faster.

She smelled the geothermal tea and found that the aroma was attractive enough. But how should she make Mrs. Helen accept this tea

I am worried. She didn't notice the approaching footsteps, and only realized there was someone behind her when she heard a sharp female voice.

"What are you doing secretly?" Dorothy asked loudly.

Ming Na was caught off guard and subconsciously blocked the jar of herbal tea: "No, it's nothing."

"Nothing?" Dorothy glanced at her suspiciously, then suddenly stretched out her hand to push her aside. Then she saw the tea jar, as well as the unused buds and grass stems in the basket next to it, and immediately screamed: "You How dare you secretly hide Madam’s buds?! Tell me! What’s your plan?!”

Ming Na couldn't help but pretend to be blunt: "What plans do I have?"

Dorothy stared at her for a long time. Then he said: "The eldest young master thinks your behavior is very suspicious. I thought he was overly concerned, but I didn't expect that you are really doing bad things! Let's go. Follow me to see the second young master!" He stretched out his hand to catch Ming Na.

Ming Na avoided it, feeling bored in her heart. The eldest young master doubts her, what does it have to do with the second young master? Don't think she doesn't know that Ax has recently found a new love interest. Dorothy just wants to use her to improve her status in front of her master.

Dorothy was surprised by Ming Na's dodge and pounced on her again. Ming Na dodged and suddenly had an idea. She said loudly: "I really didn't do anything bad! I just heard that Madam likes herbal tea. I just want to make a new recipe and give it to her!" Seeing Dorothy stop in doubt, she hurriedly threw a few grass roots into the tea, and the small house was suddenly filled with a pleasant fragrance.

Dorothy's eyes lit up and she said quickly: "I saw it right! You little girl looks stupid on the surface, but you're actually not a good person! No wonder you've been hanging around the third young master recently. Humph, I don't even look at it. Look at what you look like, you are as thin as a three-month-old grapevine. If you want to seduce a man, you must be at least half as good as me!" She puffed out her breasts, glanced at Ming Na haughtily, and scolded : "Why don't you tell me the recipe quickly? For the sake of your good tea, I won't tell others about your stealing the scented tea. Thank me." He looked magnanimous.

Ming Na looked at her low chest speechlessly, but with an angry and aggrieved look on her face, she reluctantly told her the recipe and got a basket of ready-made tea bags for her to take away. Watching her go away, Ming Na couldn't understand why she had such weird thoughts.

After confirming that Heda's whole family had drank the poisonous tea she prepared, Minna felt a sense of joy in her heart. She ignored Dorothy's arrogant look after winning the reward. She began to worry about her parents and the horse in the secret room. Why hasn't the Security Agency sent a message to her yet? Are they really too busy to take care of themselves, as Esparo said

She felt that she could no longer sit back and watch. Although her father's moans and mother's cries could still be heard from the rose garden, the recovery pills around her had been exhausted. She decided to venture from the flower room into the secret room in the middle of the night to inquire about their situation again. .

"Mary, are you there?" the old gardener called at the entrance of the garden. She hurriedly ran over and heard him say: "The person in charge of purchasing brought a few vendors to the back door. Didn't you always want to go out a few days ago?" Do you want to buy something? If you want to buy something, go to the back door and see if there is anything you want."

Ming Na hesitated for a moment, but pretended to be happy. That was her excuse to go out a few days ago, but now she can't do it.

She walked along the east aisle of the garden to the back door. When she passed a secluded side door, she heard a horse neighing outside the door and someone calling "Woo-Woo". She became suspicious and hid behind the trees to peek. , but she saw several big men outside the side door carrying a large black cloth package towards a carriage. The package kept struggling, and there was obviously someone inside. She was startled, and when she was about to get closer and take a closer look, she saw a The big man lost his grip and the package fell to the ground, letting out a scream. During the struggle, the mouth of the bag came loose, revealing half of the head of the person inside.

Ming Na almost screamed, it was clearly her mother Dora.

Where are these people taking her? !
