"Miss, do you remember where your bird's nest came from?" Qingyue said.
"Mother's bird's nest is newly purchased by the house. It is said to be used by Aunt Shui to replenish her health. When Aunt Shui specially asked someone to cook porridge, she prepared an extra portion for me!" Qin Wanru said in surprise, not understanding Qingyue Why ask this
"Yes, not just one portion, but four portions in total!" Qingyue said angrily, remembering the four bowls of porridge she had just seen simmering in the kitchen, she was instantly angry, "It's obviously Mrs. Shui's. The health-preserving bird's nest porridge is from the old lady's private room. She specially asked Madam Shui to replenish her body, so why is it only one portion for each person!"
"You asked?" Qin Wanru's long eyelashes fluttered twice and asked.
"The slave asked who these belong to. The steward in the kitchen said they belong to Mrs. Di and the eldest lady. Why do they all use Mrs. Shui's bird's nest? It is the old lady's private money. Even if it is Miss Shui, Mrs. Shui herself agreed privately. For you, she even said that she doesn’t like to drink bird’s nest, but likes bird’s nest porridge, so she can have more!”
The more Qingyue thought about it, the angrier she felt. When she thought about the woman picking up the bird's nest, she almost burst out of anger.
"Qingyue, were you angry at that time?" Qin Wanru blinked and suddenly smiled.
"Of course I'm angry. Mrs. Shui specially saved food for you. Why did they take advantage again?" Qingyue said unconvinced.
"What if they didn't take it?" Qin Wanru smiled, her eyes as clear as a pool of autumn water.
"What does not occupy it mean?" Qingyue didn't understand for a moment.
Yu Jie on the other hand understood, "Could it be that Mrs. Di and the eldest lady also bought it themselves and asked the kitchen to cook it together?"
This possibility made Qingyue's eyes widen suddenly, and she couldn't believe it for a moment: "Mrs. Di will pay for it herself?"
"Everything is possible, why is it impossible for her!" Seeing Qingyue's look, Qin Wanru laughed, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "Just because it was impossible before, doesn't mean it's impossible now!"
Qingyue was frightened, bit her lip, and became uneasy: "Miss, I almost got angry just now and wanted to knock over both of them on purpose."
"Fortunately, you didn't, or maybe others provoked you on purpose!" Qin Wanru reminded her with a slight smile.
This reminded Qingyue of what happened in the kitchen just now. She suddenly frowned and said hesitantly: "Miss, this slave is really... I think so. The old lady was also taking the bird's nest porridge, and she kept holding on to it. He looked at the slave with a smile, as if he was very proud, and then took out a purse and gave it to the woman in the kitchen. Although he said he was sneaking around to avoid people, the slave saw it!"
Qin Wanru was just making random guesses at first, but now her eyes became serious.
"Who got the bird's nest porridge first?" Qin Wanru's smile deepened.
"It's my slave. I saw that this woman wanted to go up to the attic, so I stopped her. She said she wanted to go to the kitchen and got lost. I thought the bird's nest porridge might be ready, so I followed her to the kitchen. In case she sneaks back halfway and finds the lady upstairs, she didn’t know who the slave was before she got to the kitchen!”
Qingyue also felt doubtful when she thought about what she had experienced along the way. At first, the old lady just looked at her secretly and only wanted a few ordinary snacks. But after she asked for the bird's nest porridge, the old lady When he looked at himself, his smile became much more proud, and he also said that he wanted to get bird's nest porridge.
It was when she said this that she noticed four identical cups of bird's nest porridge.
Later, I also saw the purse that the mother-in-law gave to the steward, so I thought it was Di who gave the kitchen steward a benefit, so the kitchen steward changed the original share for two people to four people.
When she thought of this, Qingyue almost couldn't bear it. If she hadn't been worried that Qin Wanru was still in the attic, and she might expose her young lady if she made a fuss here, she wouldn't be able to bear it anymore.
Now that I think about it, it was a big risk. It was clearly the woman who deliberately pushed her along after discovering her identity. She was such a cunning woman.
After telling Qin Wanru about this matter, Qingyue understood everything now and said anxiously: "Miss, what should I do now? When I left just now, the old woman had not left yet, but I was here I even met Qionghua on the way!"
Qionghua must have gone to get the bird's nest porridge for Mrs. Shui.
"Where did you meet him?" The smile on Qin Wanru's face faded, her eyes turned cold, she put the spoon in her hand into the bowl, took out the handkerchief and wiped her mouth gently.
"We should have reached the kitchen by now!" Qingyue's face turned pale, "Do you want me to go find her now!"
"It's too late!" Qin Wanru said softly, with a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes. Di Shi really refused to let people calm down. She also wanted to kill the child in her mother's belly. This was a plan that failed and another accident happened. A second plan!
But this shouldn't be the last resort, she's testing...
"What should we do? If Qionghua thinks the same as slaves and smashes the bird's nests of Mrs. Di and the eldest lady in anger, Mrs. Shui will definitely be reprimanded!" Qingyue turned around anxiously, she was almost angry at that time. Take action, if Qionghua thinks the same as she does, she will definitely take action.
Regardless of whether they irritate themselves or the people around Mrs. Shui, at least Mrs. Di and the eldest lady are innocent if something goes wrong. If they really paid for the bird's nest themselves, Mrs. Shui's explanation will be even more unreasonable.
Even if Mrs. Shui is still pregnant, she will be punished this time.
Mrs. Shui is still pregnant with a child. If she is really punished, if there is a good person, she will be in trouble!
"Miss, what should I do, what should I do?" Qingyue was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She could only look at Qin Wanru, trying to find a way from Qin Wanru.
"Miss, I can run faster. I'd better go for this slave. Maybe Qiongzhi is more calm. I haven't made a move yet!" Yu Jie was also anxious.
"It's too late!" Qin Wanru said again, and then slowly analyzed, "That woman arrived before you, but she didn't leave after giving her the purse. She was obviously waiting for Qionghua to come over, and this woman was very Being cunning, knowing what Qionghua doesn’t like to hear, he may deliberately provoke Qionghua. If others don’t hear it, and everyone only sees the final result, it must be that Qionghua is wrong!”
"Then... what should we do now?" Qingyue was dumbfounded, with cold sweat breaking out on her forehead. Everyone knew that Qionghua was Madam Shui's confidant, and Qionghua's affairs were basically Madam Shui's business.
"Let's find out where Mrs. Di's bird's nest comes from? Why do you want to stew bird's nest porridge like us? In the past, Mrs. Di liked to drink the bird's nest directly. Why do you want to make the same porridge as my mother and I this time!" Qin Wanru Passing the window, looking in the direction of Magnolia Pavilion, he said calmly.
Nowadays, all purchases in the mansion are made in one place. Even if Di wants something personally, she has to pay for it first and let the purchasing manager help bring it into the mansion.
In order to leave better evidence, Di will definitely not take the bird's nest from the past, or it must be a gift from others. It must be bought from a regular place.
But this also has a shortcoming. When Di went to Yong-Kangbo Mansion before, she brought back some return gifts, among which it was said that there were bird's nests. When Di brought the return gifts from Yong-Kangbo Mansion to the old lady, It was quite arrogant, and it was at that moment that she caught a glimpse of it.
There are many bird's nests, and they are all in Di's hands.
Di's and Qin Yuru's hobbies are the same, they are all about bird's nests, and all the old people in the house know about it!
Then there is the last point left. Why are the four porridge bowls placed exactly the same? How can others identify which one belongs to Di's mother and daughter, and which one belongs to her mother and herself
"Slave, please go find the purchasing manager!" After hearing Qin Wanru's analysis clearly, Qingyue turned around and ran out.
"Looking for purchases from the outer court!" Qin Wanru added.
Qingyue wanted to ask more, but it was too late. Plus she trusted Qin Wanru more and more, so she ran out without asking more about the purchase from the outer courtyard.
"Slave, please go to the kitchen. Let's take a look at what's going on there. Maybe Qionghua is not irritated!" Yu Jie felt that it would be better for her to go to the kitchen. No matter whether there is something going on there, the lady still knows nothing here. , move faster yourself.
After the two people were properly distributed, they left in a hurry. Qin Wanru picked up the spoon, drank another spoonful, and then put it down, with a dark look in his eyes.
Di moved very quickly, and it looked like he was going to chop it slowly. Of course, if something happened intermittently, that would be the best!
It seems that the Yong-Kangbo Mansion not only sent people, but also gave her advice!
Qingyue came back quickly. The purchasing was divided into the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard. The purchasing in the inner courtyard was under the control of Shui Ruolan, but the purchasing in the outer courtyard was in charge of Qin Huaiyong himself.
Qingyue went directly to the purchaser of the outer courtyard, and he happened to be there at this moment. Hearing that she was asking about bird's nests, she picked up the account book, checked it, and told Qingyue that there was indeed such a thing. It was Mrs. Di's intention. She said that she and the eldest lady also wanted to eat bird's nests, and asked him to bring some in when he went out to buy. Then he would pay the bill at her place, not the public account.
This kind of thing is not a big deal in any house. The masters all have their own rules. However, some masters have to pay for it themselves if they want to eat or use it. It is not the public account. They pay for it themselves. Just money.
Qingyue was very thoughtful at that time and asked when Mrs. Di made such a request. The day the purchasing manager mentioned was the night when Shui Ruolan found out she was pregnant and the old lady wanted to use her private money to buy her bird's nests. On the night of the same day, not only Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru drank bird's nest porridge, but Di Shi and Qin Yuru also drank it!
One after the other, on the same day!
Hearing this, Qin Wanru understood everything. This matter was not a temporary idea, but actually happened when he found out that his mother was pregnant! There was a hint of fierceness in his eyes!
As soon as he put his hand on the table, he wanted to stand up. Suddenly, he heard a panting voice from a maid outside the door: "Second Miss, hurry, hurry, it's not good! Go and have a look, there is really a fight in the kitchen." , many things were smashed!”
