Duan Tingxuan's face was already pale with anger, but Su Nuannuan smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Didn't you just point out that it was Sister Yun who I killed? Why bother to cover up who is that person? Blurred? Sister Lan, you are a smart person, thinking that by saying this, you are not slandering and framing the Hou family, but just afraid that the elders and the eldest son will be deceived, so you will become the heroine who stands up to set things right, right? But why don't you think about it? You said that I deceived the whole family with my cooking skills, so in your eyes, all the elders are old fools who can turn right and wrong for the sake of one bite, right? How dare you say this is not right Framed and slandered by the Hou family?"

"Stop spitting blood."

Xue Zhilan didn't expect Su Nuannuan to be so vigilant, and it was because she was a little nervous, so she revealed a flaw in her words and was caught by the other party. This crime must not be substantiated. When she turned her head to look at Duan Tingxuan, she choked up pitifully and cried "Grandpa!"

Before the words fell, Su Nuannuan sneered and said: "You still expect the master to help you talk? You regard him as a foodie."

"You..." Xue Zhilan looked at Su Nuannuan resentfully, but saw that the other party lowered her eyes slightly again, and said seriously: "You said that I ordered people to poison and murder Sister Yun, but what evidence do you have?"

Xue Zhilan sneered and said: "Do you still need to ask?" After speaking, she turned to Duan Tingxuan, and said in a deep voice: "In the entire mansion, only four people know that Sister Yun can't eat lotus root, Fengxian and Cuiping, and I only came from a few days ago. I heard about this from Aunt Jiang's unintentional words. Fengxian Cuiping is loyal to Sister Yun, and if they really want to harm her, they won't wait until this time; What good is it for me to kill her like this? Not to mention, where did I get the chance to do it? Then who killed Sister Yun, isn't the answer ready to come out?"

"You mean to say that it was Wan Fang who harmed Ran Yun?" Duan Tingxuan finally spoke with a solemn tone, which made Xue Zhilan heave a sigh of relief, and nodded quickly: "Master is right, but Aunt Jiang has always been cowardly and timid. How could she have such guts? If no one is behind her back, I don't think she would be able to do such a crazy thing. As for who is behind the scenes. Please ask her to come over. You can tell if you don't do it. Punishment. I'm not afraid that she won't confess."

"No, isn't that a trick of torture?"

Su Nuannuan frowned and stopped, but Duan Tingxuan said: "It's okay, since Lan'er has such doubts. Then call Wan Fang over to ask first, the clear is from the turbid, and the turbid is from the turbid."

Su Nuannuan nodded and said: "Since the master also said so. Well, Xing'er, you go to Chunfengyuan and ask Aunt Jiang to come over."

Xing'er agreed to go, and here Su Nuannuan called Fengxian and Cuiping to get up. Then he said: "Being idle is also idle, but I suddenly remembered something. Since there are a lot of lotus root in the chicken soup bowl, someone must have laid it in it. Fengxian, Cuiping. It can't be you. Is it inside?"

Fengxian Cuiping just stood up, and knelt down again when she heard this, and shouted in horror: "Grandma Mingjian, even if the servants have the guts to swallow the sky, they will never dare to eat such things. Our grandma drank a mouthful of lotus root powder when she was a child." , and almost lost her life. From then on, all the girls close to her will know, but all dishes with lotus roots will be thrown out. After all these years, they have been safe and sound, and few people know this secret. If the servants dare Why wait until this time to do something like this? Our mother is also very comfortable in the Earl's Mansion, so we don't know how to repay kindness, and we absolutely dare not repay kindness."

Su Nuannuan sighed, then glanced at the screen, and secretly thought that Xu Ranyun ate a bite of lotus root powder when she was a child, and almost died of allergies, but after all these years, no one except her close and close people knew about it. It can be seen how careful their mother and son are? Probably because she was afraid that someone would take advantage of this to kill her. Unexpectedly, in the end, he still deserves to die here. The strife in this house is no better than the harem

While thinking about it, he frowned and asked, "Apart from the two of you, was anyone else in your house that day?"

Cuiping Fengxian shook her head together, but soon said in unison: "That's right, Longyan and Caimulberry came together, and gave two small dishes made by Grandma Lan herself, saying that our grandma likes to eat."

Su Nuannuan looked at Xue Zhilan, but saw Caisang behind her raised her head suddenly to look at Fengxian, her face was pale, but she quickly lowered her head again, she pretended not to look at Xue Zhilan and said: "Why? ? My sister sent two side dishes to my sister Yun, but you still want to send two personal maids over there?"

Xue Zhilan was also a little surprised, she looked at Long Yan and said, "Cai Sang went with you that day?"

Long Yan nodded and said: "Yes, grandma, when I went, Cai Sang said that she also wanted to go to Cuiping for two pictures, so we went together."

Su Nuannuan sneered and said: "This is really strange. It's not that there are no little girls in Qiuyun Pavilion. For trivial things like delivering food, just send a little girl over there. Why do you want the big girl in the room to go there?"

Xue Zhilan lowered her face and snorted coldly: "In addition to delivering food, I just wanted to ask Sister Yun for two pills. I was afraid that the little girls would not know the quantity and name of the medicine, so I sent Longyan over."

In fact, where is the pill? Did she ask Long Yan to go over and check to see if the people arranged by Xu Ranyun had sneaked into Su's residence? But of course I can't say this, so I had to think of an excuse to deal with it. Anyway, Xu Ranyun is dead, and Fengxian Cuiping can't make a confession, otherwise they will be more guilty if they don't report it. without stress.

"That makes sense."

Su Nuannuan stopped arguing with Xue Zhilan, but heard her sneer: "Since grandma asked the people who were present at that time, why didn't she call the people in the kitchen to ask? Maybe they didn't move their hands and feet. We can see."

The kitchen is Su Nuannuan's territory, and Xue's daughter-in-law is the most loyal son-in-law of the grandma, which is well known in the whole family. That's why Xue Zhilan intentionally diverted trouble. In her mind, the lotus root in Xu Ranyun's chicken soup was either prepared in the kitchen, or someone stopped her on the way and secretly made it.

The voice fell, but Fengxian hesitated and said: "The kitchen made ginseng and angelica chicken soup that day, and I told the masters everywhere in the mansion early in the morning, so my aunt sent me to ask for an extra bowl of chicken soup at noon. I am right next to Mrs. Xue, look I watched her fill the bowl with soup, if she wanted to do anything in front of me, I don't think it's possible."

Xue Zhilan said: "Since you saw the chicken soup, when you came back to serve your grandma to drink the soup, you didn't notice anything unusual?"

Fengxian explained: "It's true that I was by Mrs. Xue's side at the time, but I only saw her pour soup into the bowl spoon by spoon, and then put the lid on. I didn't think much about it, and came back with the chicken soup. So I don’t know what the bowl of chicken soup under the lid looks like. And the lotus root is probably very small. When grandma drank it, she thought it was just scum. , We didn't think much about it, but we didn't know that grandma would die soon..." Speaking of this, I couldn't help crying again.

Xue Zhilan didn't expect things to take a turn for the worse. When she thought about it, Aunt Jiang must have ventilated with the people in the kitchen and moved her hands and feet in the kitchen. Anyway, they are all grandma's people now, and they all listen to grandma. If there is any doubt, The spearhead was naturally aimed at Su Nuannuan. But hearing what Fengxian said, it is obviously impossible to start in the kitchen, unless Fengxian is bought, but the problem is that after they exposed Xu Ranyun's death in front of Xu Shizi yesterday, the mother-in-law of the Earl's Mansion has been accompanying her. By their side, there is no possibility of being bribed at all.

Thinking of this, Xue Zhilan became a little restless, and hurriedly said loudly: "Since you can see it in the kitchen, what about the way back? From the kitchen to Xia Yuxuan, you didn't meet anyone?"

"No."

Fengxian shook her head, but soon felt that her words were inappropriate, and said hastily: "I met a few women and girls, and I just greeted them, and the food box never left my hand, and the lid was never opened. But, I dare to swear to God, there is absolutely no chance of being tricked in chicken soup along the way."

Xue Zhilan didn't feel restless anymore, but even turned pale.

No one was playing tricks in the kitchen or on the road, but my girl went there at an inopportune time. In the end, could this shit pot be pinned on my head? But after thinking about it, I am not afraid of the slanting shadow, if I have never done it, I have never done it, even if someone wants to frame me, and there is no evidence, what am I afraid of? The big deal is that this time, Su Nuannuan also escaped. Maybe the days to come will be sad, but it will not be difficult.

Just thinking about it, I heard the girl outside the door say: "Aunt Jiang is here."

"Let her in." Su Nuannuan yelled, and after a while, Aunt Jiang in a white dress bowed her head and entered the room. After saluting with Duan Tingxuan, Su Nuannuan and Xue Zhilan, she whispered : "I don't know why grandma called her servants and concubines over?"

Su Nuannuan told Xue Zhilan about her suspicion. Sure enough, before she finished speaking, she saw Aunt Jiang suddenly raised her head, her face flushed red, she glared at Xue Zhilan, pointed at her, and gasped, "Grandma Lan, you... don't you want to?" Blood spitting, although Grandma Yun has prejudice against me, in my heart, she is still my master. How could I have such a heartless thought? It was you, I accidentally told you about it that day, and thought about it later. I thought about it again and felt regretful, but then I thought about it again, I think you are usually gentle and generous, and there is no way you could hurt Grandma Yun, so it’s okay to tell you to be fooled, but who knows... not yet... less than three days, Grandma Yun was killed..."

"You shut up."

Before Aunt Jiang could finish speaking, she was stopped by Xue Zhilan, who was trembling with anger, pointed at Aunt Jiang and shouted: "Okay, let me tell you why you suddenly mentioned this matter that day, so it turns out You are planning to pour this basin of dirty water on my head today, aren’t you?”
