Everyone immediately looked at Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu nodded as usual: "May I ask, Manager Cao."
"This red flower shouldn't be an ordinary red flower, right?"
"Well, it's called saffron. Use medicine to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and use poison to make wounds ulcerate."
When they heard the previous sentence, everyone didn't think anything, until the last sentence, everyone felt shocked.
Manager Cao nodded: "Thank you Miss Qi, that villain knows."
Cao Yu stepped forward and said a few words in Wen Shuquan's ear.
The slaves kneeling on the ground were uneasy, but most of them didn't actually do anything.
However, Aunt Wu and Aunt Yue looked slightly strange.
After a while, Cao Yu turned around, pointed at Mother Ding who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Your maid has confessed. Today you deliberately gave Mother Xia wine."
"Sir, please forgive me. Today is the old lady's birthday. I thought that Grandma Xia would be left alone in the warehouse with no one to take care of her, so I sent the wine here specially."
"Then why did you tell the maid to avoid the people in the East Courtyard and Tingqinxuan?" Cao Yu asked sharply.
Mother Ding had something in her heart, but she never thought of killing Aunt Xia.
She servilely wanted to explain clearly, but what she said was not convincing at all.
"Slave, I just want to... not disturb others..."
"Needless to say, come here, arrest Mother Ding!" Cao Yu didn't care about Mother Ding's explanation.
Mother Ding was dragged down. She begged loudly for mercy, and even wanted to beg Aunt Wu for mercy.
But when she saw Aunt Wu's sinister eyes, she shut up again.
Then Cao Yu continued to identify the mothers in charge of the sewing room, kitchen, and charcoal fire room.
Except for Wei's mother, everyone is suspected.
When everyone was dragged down, everyone present was slightly frightened.
Especially Aunt Wu, looking at Mother Wei who had stayed alone from the corner of her eyes, she was so nervous that her back was sweating.
When Cao Yu left, he called Mother Wei and asked her to interrogate the mothers in charge who had problems.
Wen Shuquan's face looked ugly. He didn't expect that Yan Yuan would become like this.
Except for the injured Nanny Xia, there was no one trustworthy.
By this time, Wen Shuquan had made up his mind.
Aunt Xia's matter, no matter whether anyone is innocent in the end, it will eventually go bad.
Half an hour later, Cao Yu and Tian Chong came in together.
"Reporting to Third Master, the matter has been investigated clearly." Cao Yu told Wen Shuquan in detail what happened next.
Mother Ding, who first cleaned the house, gave Grandma Xia wine laced with drugs.
After Grandma Xia fell unconscious, Mother Yu, the other housekeeper in the house, cleaned the room.
She quietly stole Grandma Xia's key.
Unexpectedly, halfway, I met Mother Luo from the kitchen and Mother Xu from the sewing room.
Most of Luo's mother's people were borrowed, and she was too busy with the kitchen work, so she left early.
Mother Xu knew that Mother Yu should not be here at this time, because she should go to greet the guests of the Wen family.
She did not go back, but secretly followed Mother Fish to the warehouse.
While following, I met Jin’s mother who was temporarily managing Tanhuo.
The three of them screamed because of the sudden appearance of the wild cat.
At this time the three of them discovered each other.
When I walked to the door of the warehouse, I found that the door of the warehouse had been opened.
The three people suspected each other of stealing something and planned to report each other.
But Aunt Wu came back midway and she pressed the button.
None of the three of them stole anything from the warehouse, but Mother Deng knew about Mother Ding's delivery of wine.
She had always wanted to be the manager of the sewing room, so she quietly went to Xiao Li's mother in the kitchen to discuss it.
She borrowed a wooden hammer from Xiao Li's mother and deliberately injured Aunt Xia.
When leaving from Aunt Xia, I met Mother Ye.
Mother Deng was worried that Mother Ye would know something, so she deliberately went to the east courtyard to pick a red flower leaf and threw it near the warehouse.
This incident was seen by the little maid in Aunt Yue's yard, but Qu's mother took the maid away unintentionally.
Wen Shuquan's complexion has recovered.
Cao Yu asked him: "Third Master, how do you deal with the mothers in charge who commit crimes? Everyone's crimes are different, do they need to be dealt with separately?"
"No need." Uncle Wen raised his head and looked at Aunt Wu and Aunt Yue.
Aunt Wu was just about to look at Wen Shuquan's face when she met his eyes.
Aunt Wu hurriedly lowered her head, her face turned pale.
"Mothers in charge who commit crimes will be dealt with as if they are betraying the Lord."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Wu felt something in her heart.
The mothers who committed crimes were basically her people.
Cao Yu thought for a while and then said: "Mother Luo and Mother Qu were not involved in this matter. How should they deal with it?"
"Transfer out of Yanyuan." Uncle Wen didn't hesitate at all.
No matter who these people are, none of them can be kept.
Cao Yu suddenly thought of another person: "What about Mother Wei? She has been resting in the room because of illness."
Wen Shuquan was silent for a moment and then said: "Mother Wei, please stay, but she will be transferred to the east courtyard."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Including Wen Qingzhu, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Wen Shuquan.
Does he know what happened to Wei's mother before
Cao Yu took the order and immediately went down to make arrangements.
The room fell silent again.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and made a suggestion to Wen Shuquan: "Father, Zhu'er thinks that the reason why so many things happened in Yanyuan is because Yanyuan's manpower is too chaotic. It is better to leave only the kitchen and warehouse next time, and the rest Should we simply assign matters to various courtyards?"
Uncle Wen raised his head and looked at Wen Qingzhu quietly.
This suggestion is not unknown, but in this way, the consumption in each yard is not kept in public accounts, and it is easy to conceal it.
There is always not enough money for three-bedroom apartments. Except for the east courtyard, the west courtyard and Tingqinxuan will all have shortages.
Wen Qingzhu knew his worries and continued to explain: "Yanyuan has too many mothers in charge, which itself is a waste."
Without waiting for Uncle Wen's reply, Wen Qingzhu asked Lu Tao to report his daily expenses to him.
Everyone was secretly shocked when they heard this.
It turns out that everyone wants to take advantage of the public account, and with the extra monthly money for the slaves, it is actually no less than what everyone manages.
Wen Qingzhu saw that Wen Shuquan was already thinking about this matter.
She calmed down and said, "In fact, in this case, it is better to set a ceiling for each yard. If the ceiling is exceeded, we will report it to my father. It is up to my father to decide whether to use the extra money."
Uncle Wen didn't want to agree at first, but their third bedroom really couldn't stand the trouble.
"Can."
…
At night, Wen Qingzhu soaked in warm water and closed his eyes to relax.
Lu Tao sat next to him, adding flower petals and essential oil to the bathtub.
Thinking of what happened during the day, Lu Tao was very happy and said: "This way, the people in the West Courtyard will no longer be arrogant! At least they won't dare to blatantly swallow money from the public account anymore!"
"That's not necessarily true." Wen Qingzhu opened his eyes and looked at the curtain above his head.
Lu Tao asked doubtfully: "But didn't you put a limit on the usage of each courtyard? The west courtyard will definitely not dare to reimburse at will."
"The upper limit is just for my father. Our affairs in Yanyuan are complicated." Wen Qingzhu shook his head.
There are two aunts in Yanyuan who have registered household registration, so things in Yanyuan are destined to be more complicated than those in other houses.
The Wan family is in charge of the big house, and Wen Bogui only has a few general houses.
Although the second room was chaotic, Wen Zhong never dared to be too presumptuous, and only Aunt Zhen was registered.
The other Yingying Yanyan, even if they are favored, have no status after all.
As for the fourth room, Wen Jihua simply didn't pass the connecting room.
Yang's temperament dares to be so bold and aggressive not only because the old lady Liu is her aunt.
The most important thing is Wen Jihua's exclusive love for her.
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu was very envious.
She had longed for two people for the rest of her life.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu lost his mind, Lu Tao knew that she had her own considerations.
However, she still didn't understand why Yanyuan's mother-in-law was asked to make a collective change today.
"Miss, how did you do it? Let them all show their flaws today?"
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help laughing: "Actually, it's not complicated. Aunt Wu wanted to get the key to the warehouse, but she never dared to do it. The reason why Mother Ding dared to do it today was because Lu Yu went to ask Mother Ding to do it. By the way, she also returned Gave her an idea."
Lu Tao was even more puzzled: "Without Aunt Wu's instructions, how could Lu Yu give advice to Mother Ding?"
At this time, the sound of peony came from outside.
"Miss, this slave is back."
Wen Qingzhu raised his head, looked at Shaoyao outside the curtain and said, "Come in."
The figure outside the door curtain raised his hand and opened the curtain, revealing a familiar face.
Lu Tao screamed in shock: "You, you, you-"
The person in front of him was the face of Lu Yufa.
"Lv Tao, I am Shaoyao."
Shaoyao looked at her, touched her neck, and then tore off a piece of dough, revealing Shaoyao's original appearance.
Lu Tao was even more frightened and looked at Shaoyao in disbelief: "Is there really such a thing as a human skin mask in this world?"
"The young lady gave this to the slave." Shaoyao explained to Lu Tao.
Then she put away the human skin mask and walked behind Wen Qingzhu: "Slave, please give the lady a massage."
Lu Tao's eyes always followed Shaoyao's face.
She was really surprised.
But she still couldn't figure it out: "Isn't the peony at Zhuangzi's side?"
"I came back quietly today. The reason why we met Yanyuan's mother in charge so smoothly was because I changed my face several times."
Shaoyao was massaging Wen Qingzhu while explaining to Lu Tao.
Wen Qingzhu also accidentally discovered that Shaoyao was very talented at imitating human voices, so she quietly made a few human skin masks.
What I have been waiting for is the day of the old woman’s birthday.
According to the plan, all these eyeliner borers in Yanyuan will be wiped out.
Early the next morning, a new mother came to Yanyuan's kitchen.
When Wen Qingzhu walked to the front hall, he found that in addition to the strange mother in charge, Tian Chong was also there.
"Manager Tian."
"Miss Seven."
After greeting each other, Tian Chong pointed to the fat steward mother beside him and said: "This is Mother Qiu. She used to work in Zimingtang. From now on, she will be in charge of the kitchen. She will only report to you in the future."
