The old lady asked this sentence, which everyone present wanted to know.
Gu Xuan was locked in the firewood room, and Gu Xiren was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. They were all watched by people. They couldn't act on their own. If they wanted to put arsenic in Fang's food, unless there were internal thieves to help in Luoxia Courtyard, otherwise it would be a mistake. It's an incredible thing.
Yingluo obviously thought of this, and replied with a sob: "My girl went back yesterday and only drank a bowl of medicine and half a bowl of lotus seed soup. Besides that, she didn't eat anything else...just talk about medicine and lotus seed soup. , All of them were boiled by Qianxiang personally, and I fed them to the girl after I brought them... I questioned Qianxiang, and she never left when she decocted the medicine, and no one entered the small tea room... I don't know where the arsenic came from Come… "
Gu Xihe's thoughts turned quickly, and he blurted out when he heard this: "Arsenic will never run into sister-in-law's belly by itself. According to you, the person who poisoned you is either you or the incense."
"Fourth master was wronged." Yingluo repeatedly kowtowed, "I have been with my girl since I was a child, how could I have such thoughts... I have hurt the girl, what can I ask for..."
The status of dowry maids is usually higher than that of ordinary maids, and the cost of food and clothing is not much worse than that of the master. Yingluo is Fang's confidant, and she can only live well if Fang's life is good, as usual Well, it is indeed impossible for her to harm Fang's.
Gu Xihe scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "That's to try Xiangxiang to catch her and beat her up, to see if she recognizes her."
"Stop talking nonsense." The old matriarch stopped immediately and said, "Qianxiang followed your elder brother from childhood, so she wouldn't have such thoughts."
"Then..." Gu Xihe had no choice but to shut up.
Shu Huan asked from the side: "Are you sure that the medicine and the lotus seed soup are not poisonous?"
"I don't know if there is any in the medicine." Yingluo shook her head and said, "But there is a lot of lotus seed soup left, which was wasted. We all shared it, and no one was poisoned."
"Where's the dregs?"
"I've had Doctor Ji check it out, and there's nothing wrong with it."
At this time, Shu Huan's thoughts changed quickly: "The eating utensils for Big*grandmother are for her, right?"
Yingluo was stunned: "It's the second grandma who said..."
"I don't know." Shu Huan just guessed wildly, shook his head and said, "It's useless to check now, right? It must have been cleaned up."
"No..." Yingluo said suddenly, "Big*grandmother usually uses a whole set of utensils..."
That is to say, if someone wants to put poison on the tableware, he must not be sure which of the whole set of bowls will be used. To be sure, he must put poison on all the tableware...
The old matriarch's eyes showed a stern expression: "Check"
"Ah..." Yingluo wiped her tears indiscriminately, turned over from the ground and hurried to get out.
"Wait—" Gu Xiran, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Arsenic will not be left on the tableware, and it will be useless to check."
Shu Huan was slightly startled, and the old lady also looked at him suspiciously.
Gu Xiran didn't answer and asked instead: "The only ones who can put poison on tableware are the maids of Luoxia Courtyard, but what is the possibility of the maids poisoning the Taijun?"
The old matriarch has recovered a little from the blow of her great-grandson's murder, and she can think about it calmly. After a while, she shook her head and said slowly: "Boss is usually modest and rarely offends others. People are good, so who would think of harming him? What's more, he is dead, and no matter how much you hate him, you won't even let his posthumous child go. I'm afraid the third child is responsible for this matter."
Gu Xiran knew that the mastermind must be Gu Xuan, so he didn't expose it at this time, but said: "Since that's the case, the third child has never set foot in the Luoxia Courtyard these days, and even Xiao Xuan has never gone there to the small tea room." Therefore, my grandson thinks that since the two of them had no chance to put poison on the utensils, there would be no poison on the utensils."
Right
Shu Huan sighed secretly. As a non-professional, she is still inferior to the lawyer who used to be in contact with such things. But here comes the problem again. Since Fang's food is not poisonous, how did the arsenic get into it? In her stomach
The old lady was obviously also thinking about this matter, she was silent for a while and asked Yingluo: "If you think about it carefully, she didn't eat anything else?"
Yingluo shook her head and sobbed, "Back to the Majesty, I didn't eat anything."
A flash of inspiration flashed in Shu Huan's mind, and a sentence suddenly popped up: "tea"
When Zisu, the maidservant waiting for the old lady, heard this, she thought she wanted tea, and hurriedly brought it.
"I'm not talking about that." Shu Huan took the tea and put it on the small table beside him, but recalled how Fang Shi vomited yesterday and before lying back in bed, she rinsed her mouth with tea, and asked Yingluo, "Before poisoning, Has she had tea?"
Yingluo nodded this time: "Yes, I drank the regular Yulu tea, the tea leaves..."
The old lady interrupted her and said, "Bring it."
The leftover tea leaves in Luoxia Courtyard were taken immediately and asked Ji Danqing to check, but the news was still disappointing.
no problem with tea
Gu Xihe became a little anxious: "Just call the third brother and ask if it's okay."
Gu Yun replied aloud for the first time: "When the accident happened in the Luoxia courtyard, he was still kneeling at the ancestral hall. If you don't check it out, you can ask him. He only needs to say that he is incapable of doing it. Do you have anything to say? "
"This..." Gu Xihe was left speechless by the question, but he muttered unwillingly: "Anyway, he personally confessed to harming elder brother. If it is true, there is no room for change. If he also did this, it is too late for him to be complacent. , what is there not to dare to admit?"
After hearing this, the old matriarch felt that it was reasonable, and hurriedly called for someone to bring Gu Xiren.
After waiting for a long time, when the stumbling white figure stepped over the threshold, everyone present gasped.
Is this the usual clean and indifferent Gu Xiren who looks out of the world
His slender body no longer stood proudly like before, but needed support even to walk, and the white clothes on his body were also stained with mottled blood stains, making it filthy.
His hair was loose, his lips were chapped, and his face was so pale that it was almost transparent. Only those eyes were still burning with a little unyielding and stubborn light. Before he entered the hall, he scanned everyone present with hatred.
This is not Gu Xiren, this is a trapped beast that has been besieged to a desperate situation
Shu Huan knew a little more facts than others, and knew that Gu Xiren was not as vicious as everyone imagined, and he could feel the pain and grievance he suffered psychologically, so he couldn't bear to see him after being subjected to family law, and hurriedly twisted Turning around, I happened to see a look of pity and sorrow in the eyes of the old lady, but this look was fleeting. The next moment, the old lady spoke with a calm and clear voice. Asking: "Third brother, did you poison your sister-in-law?"
Gu Xiren was instinctively taken aback for a moment, his eyes revealed two points of doubt: "Sister-in-law?"
"Yes" the old lady leaned on Gu Xihe, tried her best to straighten her old body, made herself sit up straighter, stared at him, and said word by word: "You put arsenic in her food, which hurt her Poisoned miscarriage, indirectly killed your elder brother's posthumous son"
Hearing this, Yingluo couldn't hold back the hatred for Gu Xiren in her heart any longer, she completely disregarded the rules of respect and inferiority, sobbed and rushed over, grabbed his clothes tightly and asked him: "Why does my girl have no hatred or enmity with you? It's okay to kill the uncle, why even she, a weak woman, is not spared, but she also poisoned the child in her womb, driving her... driving her crazy... "
Yingluo's sudden attack made Gu Xiren take two steps back unexpectedly, but his body was weak, and he almost fell to the ground when he couldn't stand still, looking extremely embarrassed.
When the others saw this situation, they hurriedly stopped Yingluo, and then a maid came forward and dragged Yingluo out first.
