Mrs. Liu also realized it immediately and hurriedly ordered the people around her, "Quick, go find it."
After saying that, he hurriedly lifted up his skirt and said, "I'm going to see my mother." The cat is not at the old lady's place. If so, the old lady is also in danger.
Aunt Yu also hurriedly followed.
Niannian was not worried about whether the cat would be in the old lady's room. Mo Piao was there. In extraordinary times, Mo Piao would not let an ant get close to the old lady, let alone a cat.
She checked the scratches on Feng Chime's wrist again and said to the maid who was still kneeling on the ground, "Get up. Feng Chime's death is none of your business."
When the maid heard what she said, she immediately felt relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief, her whole body went limp, and she hurriedly kowtowed to Nian Nian and thanked her again and again.
Having the princess restore her innocence was much more useful than her own defense.
Nian Nian asked two servant girls to carry the frame and carry the wind chime away first. Now that she knew the cause of death, she couldn't be allowed to stay outside the kitchen.
Wen Ya stood there and wouldn't let anyone get close to him for the time being.
After a while, Grandma Yu and Madam Liu came back, both of them looking relieved.
Mrs. Bai must not let anything happen at this juncture. Although Ms. Liu sometimes couldn't understand clearly, she still knew the seriousness of the matter.
As soon as the two of them arrived, a maid over there came over and said, "We found Xiao Hua Wen. He is now sleeping in Feng Chime's room."
sleep
Nian Nian, Aunt Yu and others went to Feng Ling's house in a grand manner. As expected, they saw the cat paralyzed on the ground, sleeping very peacefully. There was a collar around her neck, obviously to prevent it from running around. .
Nian Nian moved closer to the cat and checked its paws.
"Its claws are indeed stained with the poison from the wind chime." And this poison... is probably the one that Liu Wei gave to the wind chime last night.
What makes her wonder is that since the poison was brought by Feng Chime to harm her, why did it end up harming herself
Madam Liu had now regained her composure and immediately asked Grandma Yu, "Has Xiaohuawen been in contact with other people in the past two days? Where has it gone? Where did it get the poison?"
Aunt Yu thought for a moment before she said, "Since last night, Feng Chi has been taking care of Xiao Hua Wen. The old lady has not been in good spirits these past two days and has not had any contact with cats. Last night, I heard Feng Chi say The cat ran away and she is looking for it everywhere. Isn’t it the poison she got from that time?”
After saying that, she immediately asked people to find Feng Wu, the maid who lived in the same house as Feng Ling.
Feng Wu was going to the laundry room to get clean clothes for the old lady. When she heard that she was looking for her, she hurriedly ran in.
After listening to the maid's explanation of the cause and effect, she was a little unbelievable. She didn't expect that the wind chime that was in the same room with her last night... would be poisoned and died.
She hurriedly ran back to the room and recounted what happened last night, "Last night, Xiao Hua Wen did run out, and the slaves helped us search for him. Later, Feng Ling brought him back by himself, and Xiao Hua Wen also I don’t know where she got into, and she was a little dirty. Even though it was getting late at that time, the wind chime helped clean the cat, and then I put her back in her room and let her sleep."
Feng Wu said, frowned, and said, "Xiao Hua Wen didn't scratch Feng Chime's wrist at that time."
Mrs. Liu and Grandma Yu looked at each other. Xiao Huawen ran out. When she came back, her claws had been washed, but now there was poison on her claws. This shows that the poison on its claws was not brought in from outside. It is very possible...
Aunt Yu suddenly turned her head and asked Feng Wu, "Has Xiaohuawen not been out since you came back last night?"
Feng Wu shook her head in confusion, "No, when I got up and left the house this morning, I saw Feng Chime feeding him. It's just strange that there was no rope around Xiao Hua Wen's neck at that time in the morning. I came back in the meantime One time I went there, I discovered that there was an extra collar around its neck. I thought it was probably because the wind chimes were afraid of it running around, so I tied it up, so I didn’t think much about it.”
"Could it be that Xiaohuawen caught the wind chime this morning and the wind chime tied it up? If it hasn't been out since it came back last night, where did the poison on its claws get? Could it be in this house? Here?" A maid next to Mrs. Liu muttered in a low voice.
Everyone's expressions changed, and Feng Wu's expression turned pale.
Is there poison in the house? She took a few steps back in shock.
Mrs. Liu suddenly raised her voice and said, "Everyone, please leave the house first. Ah Lan, you go find a few more careful people to search the house inside and outside."
"Yes." A Lan quickly turned around and went to find someone.
Niannian didn't say a word from beginning to end. It was actually best to leave this matter to Liu.
Mrs. Liu didn't know that Fengling belonged to Liu Wei, and she would do her best for the Bai family at this moment.
However, Nian Nian always felt that this was a bit strange.
How could the cat's paws be contaminated with the poison given by Liu Wei? Logically speaking, cats will lick their paws unconsciously. If so, the little pattern will be poisoned earlier than the wind chime. But the cat was fine and... soundly sleeping.
Yes, even though he was sleeping deeply, their loud movements could not wake the cat up.
Nian Nian narrowed her eyes, took a few steps back and stood outside Feng Chi Feng Wu's house.
After a while, I saw A-Lan coming over with a few unfamiliar maids and women. After greeting them, he went into the house and took Xiao Huawen out. In order to facilitate the investigation, he also used a cloth to Wrap up all four paws of Little Pattern and put it in a separate cage.
But... Xiao Hua Wen is still sleeping.
The sound of searching soon sounded in the house. Those people were probably used to doing this kind of thing, and they conducted investigations in an orderly manner.
Nian Nian saw them walking back and forth, and after a while, someone came out and leaned slightly towards Mrs. Liu, "Madam, this was found from the cabinet of the wind chime."
"Pearl hairpin?" Mrs. Liu put it in her hand and looked at it twice, then handed it to Nian Nian and said, "This pearl hairpin is worth a lot of money."
Her words were profound, and Grandma Yu's face turned livid. With the wind chime in mind, one would definitely not be able to afford such an expensive hairpin. This thing was either a gift from someone else, or... it came from somewhere.
Feng Chime is a maid from Lefutang, and most of them are managed by Aunt Yu.
But now...
Regardless of whether the wind chimes were given to others privately, or whether the hands and feet were unclean, it would be Lok Futang’s face that would be disgraced.
Ms. Liu didn't take it seriously. Anyway, this kind of scandal didn't spread from her yard.
As she was thinking this, Alan suddenly ran over in a hurry, holding a bottle in his hand, "Madam, we opened the locked box of the wind chime and found this."
Mrs. Liu frowned. To be honest, she didn't dare to reach out to pick it up, so she asked A-Lan to give it to Nian Nian directly.
Nian Nian smiled and took the bottle.
Unexpectedly, before she had time to look, another woman ran out.
