"Strange, I didn't say that the kitchen door was locked before! When Jiaoxue and Linglong came, the kitchen door had already been kicked open by me. How did she know whether the kitchen door was open or locked?" Sheng Yaoshan muttered secretly.
Just as she was talking, Ruan heard the quarrel outside the room, slowly walked out of the room, stood quietly aside, watching everything in front of her in silence.
Sheng Jiaoxue, Linglong!
Although Wen Rou didn't say anything, she had already guessed everything clearly in her heart.
"Miss, look!" Linglong's eyes were sharp, and she hinted in a low voice when she caught sight of Gentle, who was standing aside, who survived a catastrophe.
"Hmph! You cook! I was almost burned to death by accident, why did you have to drag my brother and brother Ren Yue to save you! My son is still here to tell the truth! It must be what you and brother said that made the It will make my brother feel bad for us!" Sheng Jiaoxue was furious, and quickly ran towards Wen Rou who had just woken up and was still weak.
"Well, you cook! I caused my young master to be bitten by a snake in Xianyang before, and now I am in the provincial capital, and almost killed my young master in the sea of fire for you! Do you know that if there is something wrong with your young master today! You Can a cook accompany you?" Seeing Sheng Jiaoxue going up to meet her, Linglong naturally chased and beat her, and quickly blocked in front of Sheng Jiaoxue, pushing and shoving with Wenrou.
One tugged and tugged, and the other looked at everything in front of him in horror.
One was furious, and the other knew it, although he had no evidence.
Seeing Linglong stepping forward to teach Wenrou a lesson for her, Sheng Jiaoxue naturally stepped back a little, watching everything in front of her with cold eyes.
This kind of maid fights with the cook, how can she, a dignified lady of the Xiangfu, participate in it!
"Enough!" Sheng Yaoshan really couldn't see Linglong fighting for no reason. Miss Wen stood there in a daze, without saying a word, to be slandered and beaten by a servant girl for no reason!
What's more, the cook in Linglong's hands at this time is still an emotion that he has kept in his heart before, and he didn't want to show it to others...
"Young man, you must be trapped by love!" The old wine seller's words awakened Sheng Yaoshan for a moment. It turned out that he had always had a strange feeling in his heart towards Miss Wen. Is it an affair between children? !
Miss Wen... Sheng Yaoshan silently called the gentle name in his heart, and walked forward quickly.
At this moment, he would never allow anyone to do anything unreasonable to the woman he admired in front of him. Obviously Linglong has challenged the limit of his patience!
Linglong's powerful hands tightly grasped the gentle arms, and those hands just touched the wound from last night without deviation.
The gentle brows were tightly knit together, and the pain of the wound being slightly healed and then being torn again hit again.
Through Linglong's back, Sheng Yaoshan could clearly see the tears in Wenrou's eyes!
"Stop!" Sheng Yaoshan yelled, pulling away the gentle Linglong.
Sudden!
"Crack!" There was a crisp sound.
A shiny copper thing. It slipped from Linglong's waist to the ground.
The thing is not big, but the light is extremely dazzling, especially under the sun, the dazzling brilliance makes people unable to open their eyes!
It was this shiny thing. But it almost made Sheng Jiaoxue and Linglong look paper-colored!
key!
That is clearly a key!
Linglong was stunned, and immediately squatted down quickly, eager to pick up the key.
"Wait!" Sheng Yaoshan said coldly.
"My lord...what's the matter?" Linglong obviously felt her voice trembling.
"What is this?" Sheng Yaoshan picked up the key before Linglong and held it in his hand.
"My lord is really good at joking... This is of course a key..." Linglong forced a smile from the corner of her mouth.
"Nonsense, of course I know it's the key! I'm asking, where is the key!" Sheng Yaoshan's voice was colder than the copper key!
"Yes...it's the key to the servant's room..." Linglong faltered. He didn't dare to look into Sheng Yaoshan's eyes.
"That's right! Then go to your room and see if this key can unlock the door of your room!" Sheng Yaoshan refused to let go.
"My lord... the servant accidentally damaged the door lock before, but now the lock is gone, only this key is left, and I didn't have time to clean it up." Linglong continued to prevaricate.
"Hehe, the lock is damaged? Didn't have time to clean the key? I think it's probably because the lock has been changed. The key didn't have time to sell the stolen goods!" Sheng Yaoshan raised the key in his hand and said angrily.
"Brother, what do you mean?!" Sheng Jiaoxue saw that the matter was almost revealed, but she still pretended to be innocent and made a last-ditch effort. Maybe her "innocent attitude" might change with Sheng Yaoshan's temperament
"Sister, you must be kept in the dark! Hmph! You girl, come with me!" Seeing Sheng Jiaoxue's words, Sheng Yaoshan thought she didn't know about Linglong at all, so he pulled Linglong over, and quickly Step towards the untidy kitchen.
Chang Sheng, Wen Wen and Sheng Jiaoxue followed immediately, but they all had different thoughts in their hearts.
In the kitchen, a piece of ashes remained after the fire.
On the collapsed wooden door, a brass lock covered in ashes was tightly fastened to the knocker.
There is also a copper lock full of smoke on the stove, and a key is stuck in the copper lock.
Sheng Yaoshan took the copper lock with the key in his hand, faced the crowd, and said: "This is the original copper lock in the kitchen, the key is on the lock, until the fire is extinguished, the key is still on the lock! It can be seen that before the fire, The kitchen door is open, and the lock is always with Miss Wen, it is impossible for Miss Wen to lock the door from the outside by herself!"
"Brother, maybe you got it wrong! There are tens of millions of locks, how can you take a lock and say it is the lock of the original kitchen? Maybe the lock on the door is the lock of the original kitchen door! "Sheng Jiaoxue quibbled.
"Sister, you don't know that. In Mr. Songtao's residence, all the door locks are matched, so all the locks are marked. Look!" Sheng Yaoshan said, and picked up the handle on the stove. lock, turn it over for everyone present to see.
There is a clear word "kitchen" on the bottom of the lock, which was specially engraved by Yi Tianxing in order to distinguish the locks of different households.
"Really!" Seeing this, Rou Rou ran out immediately.
On the other side of the kitchen is the firewood room, Wen Rou took off the door lock and brought it over.
I saw the door lock of the firewood room, and the word "firewood" was impressively engraved on it!
Really matching. There is a mark!
Chang Sheng was a little puzzled, "Miss Wen, please take the lock of your door and have a look."
"Uncle Sheng, look!" the voice just finished. Ruan already ran back quickly and fetched the brass lock of her own door.
I saw the two words "Kexi" clearly engraved on the copper lock.
That means the westernmost side of the room!
Although Yi Tianxing is a bold and unrestrained person who puts his feelings on the mountains and rivers, he is also a delicate person after all.
When I agreed with Ren Yue to let Mr. Songtao and others live in this small courtyard, I also explained various details, and this lock is one of them.
After everyone moved in, Ren Yue told Sheng Yaoshan about the lock.
According to Ren Yue's temperament, he didn't want to bother with these trivial matters, and he just left everything to Sheng Yaoshan. Unexpectedly, Sheng Yaoshan secretly remembered it in his heart.
Little did he know that Sheng Yaoshan's excellent memory came in handy at this time!
Ren Yue sat alone in the room. He secretly endured the pain on his feet, but he didn't know that a good show was going on in the kitchen!
"Linglong, just take a look and see if this lock can be opened with your key." Sheng Yaoshan ignored the grayness on Linglong's face at the moment, and stretched out his hand to pull up the kicked down wooden door. Leaning down, using the key that Linglong dropped out, she easily inserted it into the lock.
Give it a spin.
A key is matched with a lock, and there is only a "click". After finding the right passage, the copper lock covered in ashes was easily opened.
Seeing that Sheng Jiaoxue's back felt cold, she thought of countless excuses in her mind.
This Linglong, why is she so careless! The locks are locked. What is the purpose of keeping that key!
If my brother asks later that Linglong is my personal servant girl, how will I be cleared of the charge of instigating behind the scenes!
Sheng Jiaoxue couldn't stop thinking about it, and lost her mind for a while!
Damn it, damn it! I was careless for a while. Forgot to dispose of the key! How can this be good! Now that the matter has been brought to light, don't implicate the young lady!
At this moment, Linglong's heart is also ups and downs!
Facing the overwhelming evidence, it must be useless to say anything at this time.
"Oh! It's you girl who set the fire!" Chang Sheng stood aside. Witnessing all this with his own eyes, he couldn't help stepping forward to criticize.
"You girl is so courageous! Tell me, why did you lock the door and set fire to it!" Sheng Yaoshan was furious!
"Brother, how could you wrong Linglong so much? Even if she locked the kitchen door, why do you want to blame her for setting the fire?" Sheng Jiaoxue was still relentless.
"Hehe, let her speak for herself!" Sheng Yaoshan looked at Linglong coldly.
"Slave..." Linglong fell into confusion for a moment.
"The fire in the kitchen was started by the window, but I found a straw outside the window, and by such a coincidence, there was such a straw stuck in Linglong's hair in the morning! Is there straw? Why do you lock the door if you have it!" Sheng Yaoshan pressed on every step of the way, and under his fury, Linglong didn't allow Linglong to pause for deep thought.
"Everything you said is true, the door of the kitchen was indeed locked by the servant, and the fire was also set by the servant!" Linglong decided to go all out, since the matter of locking the door was exposed, she couldn't lie, and the straw in her hair It was indeed seen by General Sheng, no matter what he said, he could not cover up his actions.
Now that you've been exposed, don't involve the young lady anymore, and just accept all of them by yourself!
"Oh? If that's the case, why did you want to kill Miss Wen?!" Sheng Yaoshan was shocked.
"Because..." Linglong gritted her teeth and looked at Wenrou, and said sadly: "Because, this cook, she...she made Linglong feel very frustrated. Linglong was originally a maid, and she was supposed to serve her master, but since this cook, she... After coming here, many behaviors made Linglong even more intolerable, she was useless for a day, Linglong simply got malicious, and wanted to get rid of this cook!" Linglong didn't know where the logic came from, The nonsense, but took everything on himself, and clearly attributed it to the word "jealousy"!
Everyone was terrified! This maid...
