Allure of a Country Maiden

Soon the two maids who carried the message and the purchaser in the kitchen were brought to Shangguan Xuanyi and Jingrui by Yang Liu.

As for Xiaoer, Shangguan Xuanyi ordered her to lie on the bed and do nothing. If she dared to get out of bed, he would tap her acupuncture points and make her unable to move for the next six months.

Well, I didn't protect my child well and did something wrong, so I will naturally have to accept punishment. Xiaoer decided not to care about him and just lie down!

Jingrui originally wanted to take Zhu Yan back to his yard to rest, but Zhu Yan said that he wanted to hear what those servants had to say, learn from the experience and lessons, and gain wisdom.

Moreover, the two of them wanted to investigate clearly, but they couldn't do it without them being present.

All this needs to be done is to separate it with a screen.

Jingrui thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. If he wanted to investigate clearly, it would be easier to interrogate them if the two parties involved were present.

So Zhu Yan and Xiaoer lay behind the screen, listening to what was going on outside like they were listening to politics behind a curtain.

The maid who told Xiaoer that Zhu Yan had fallen knelt on the ground and trembled with fear: "Hui King Rui, I had just finished cleaning the stone path in the garden and returned to the house. Then someone told me that the young lady had been hit by a child. I arrived, my stomach hurts, so I went to find Princess Rui quickly. I did see a lady scolding a little boy, and the people next to the lady asked if she was okay, so I thought it was true, so I immediately Run to find Princess Rui.”

"You didn't see the child hit the young lady at that time?" Jingrui addressed Zhu Yan as the young lady in front of the servants.

"No, but at that time everyone was asking if Miss was okay, so I thought it was just what that person said." This maid was a maid from the Zhu Mansion, and she was used to calling Zhu Yan Miss.

"I was almost hit by that naughty child, but Yun'er reacted quickly and pulled me up." Zhu Yan felt scared when she thought of the scene at that time.

At that time, two children were fighting for the same thing, so they chased them everywhere regardless of the situation, and their mother couldn't stop them.

"Whose child is that child?" Shangguan Xuanyi asked.

Zhu Yan reported the name of an official, and Shangguan Xuanyi wrote it down and asked someone to check it later.

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at the maid who told Zhu Yan Du Yijin that they had fallen. Under Shangguan Xuanyi's gaze, the maid felt as if she had been delayed. She was so frightened that her voice could not help but have a hint of vibrato: " Return to King Rui, slave, slave, because someone told the slave princess and the princess that they slipped and asked me to tell the young lady quickly and she went to find the imperial doctor. After hearing this, I felt anxious and ran over without thinking much. The young lady has been notified."

"Who told you, Princess, that they slipped?" Shangguan Xuanyi asked coldly.

"It's a woman. That woman is not from our house."

"Which mansion are you from?"

When the maid heard this, she lowered her head. She regretted it so much. Why did she report it without even thinking about it? She didn't know the woman at all: "Many servants from other houses came today, and I don't know which house the woman is from."

Xiao'er could see that neither of the two maids were lying. That person was very calculating. She probably guessed that we would not easily believe the words of other servants. All the messages were sent through the maids of the Zhu Mansion and Shengping Hou Mansion. Shengping The maids in the Hou Mansion have all taken loyalty powder, and there is absolutely no problem with loyalty.

Although I don’t know whose servant she is, there are people who will receive and register everyone at the door today. When I check them one by one, I won’t believe that I can’t find her!

"Why do you still need to buy eggs for the kitchen today?" Zhu Yan remembered this and asked from behind the screen.

"I don't know where the wild cat jumped into the kitchen and knocked over the egg basket in the kitchen. The eggs were broken to pieces and took a fish in its mouth, so I asked someone to buy eggs again." Some dishes Egg whites are needed, and eggs are also needed for cakes and other pastries. Things like pastries need to be prepared early in the morning, so the eggs were prepared a day in advance. However, he did not expect that they would be knocked over, so he had to let them go. People are buying again.

Jingrui looked towards the kitchen and asked, "Didn't you put the eggs in place when you bought them? Didn't you know you dropped them all the way?"

The princess slipped due to the eggs falling along the way. When Caimai found out about this, he was almost frightened. He said tremblingly: "It's fine to put the eggs in the basket. I usually transport them back like this, and I don't know what's going on today." Du Yijin is fine, but whatever happened, the basket turned sideways, and then the eggs rolled off the carriage one by one."

He really didn't know what was going on. He drove the car well in front of him, and the road was smooth. He didn't know that the basket containing eggs would tip over on its own!

"Did you see anyone approaching the carriage?" Jingrui asked again.

Caimai shook his head: "I was concentrating on driving the carriage in front and didn't notice what was going on behind the carriage."

There were many people attending weddings today, and there were many more people in the house than usual. He was indeed concentrating on driving the carriage, but he was worried that someone would suddenly come out and hit him. He was busy enough just looking at the road conditions in front, and how could he have the energy to look behind the carriage.

Well, asking was in vain. Jingrui waved his hand and asked him to retreat.

Xiao'er listened to the conversation of several people and thought: The person who set up this plan is really very careful. If she didn't have the pills with her, her child would really be in danger today!

This is a chain of events. First, a wild cat knocks over the eggs in the kitchen, causing Tsai Mai to buy eggs again. Then the basket containing eggs in the carriage is overturned, and the purchased eggs are scattered all over the road. Yes, the servants had to clean the road with water, and then poured some essential oil at the corner. And it was not ordinary essential oil, it was the essential oil produced by Xiaoer Space Processing Workshop. A small bottle can be sold for hundreds of taels! One characteristic of that essential oil is that its fragrance is exactly the same as that of flowers in nature!

There happened to be a patch of roses near the bend of the path, and the flowers were in full bloom, so Xiaoer didn't smell anything wrong. Although she had already guessed that there must be something wrong with the wet road, after all, there must be a monster when things go wrong.

In addition, the man also sprinkled essential oil outside the door of his yard, and made two preparations to notify himself and Zhu Yan in two directions. His timing was very good, making it difficult for people to guard against it.

Xiao'er thought to herself that this person had spent a lot of money in order to scheme against her. She didn't know how many bottles of essential oil he had used in total! Anyway, thousands of taels of silver are indispensable!

After questioning several servants, Jingrui slapped them fifteen times as punishment.

Shangguan Xuanyi didn't say anything. After all, this was not his palace. He had the final say on how to punish his servant Jing Rui, although he felt it was too light.
