Wishful Things

Chapter 14 Aunt Ruan

Aunt Ruan?

This is his only concubine room.

Xu Jin was so shocked that he didn't dare to look up at the old man's eyes at this moment.

As a father, his love for his daughter has always been a little bit, but compared with the old man, no matter how strong his love is, it always seems to be much inferior-the existence of such feelings of intergenerational relatives in the family often makes him doubt whether he is Is it from the father.

The woman over there heard Aunt Ruan's name, and she cried out: "Yes, yes, it was the aunt who promised the favor to the servant girl and asked the servant girl to do this... The servant girl was also confused for a while! I beg the old man to forgive me. Take the life of the servant girl!"

Cui asked, "How did Ruan poison the girl!"

"Down...poison..."

The mother-in-law stopped crying, her face was full of astonishment, she met Cui Shi's sharp eyes, shaking like a sieve, and said: "I don't know what poisoning... Aunt Ruan... Ruan Shi just said that the maidservant The son took the opportunity to push Miss Akui into the water... said yes, said it was a personal grievance... the maid really didn't know that the Ruan family dared to harm the girl!"

Otherwise, even if I lent her ten guts, she wouldn't dare to accept the ten taels of silver!

Doesn't that make it clear that there is life to earn but life to spend!

Xu Jin had already ordered: "Come here, bring Mrs. Ruan here—"

He has to ask himself clearly!

Xu Qiwei's face was tense.

For a while, no one spoke in the hall, and the woman who kept begging for mercy had already been gagged by Ah Zhu.

This oppressive silence lasted until Nguyen's arrival.

Xu Mingyi looked at the saluting woman.

She didn't have much impression of Ruan Shi, she only vaguely remembered that she was not bad looking and would rarely appear in front of people, so subconsciously she felt that she should have a very peaceful temperament.

At this time, the woman in front of her was only about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, she was dressed plain but elegant, with a slender figure, a pair of red phoenix eyes, and she was quite charming.

"I don't know if Mrs. Madam is calling my concubine, but what are your orders?"

Ruan saluted everyone one by one, and asked with a slightly disturbed expression.

Just looking at this picture who doesn't know how to hide his nervousness, it doesn't seem like someone who can carefully plan to murder the daughter of the mansion.

"This is the mother-in-law in your yard, she just confessed." Cui's eyes were full of scrutiny: "It seems that the prince and I have been too lenient these years, and you dared to have evil thoughts of harming the girl—— —”

She spoke directly, Ruan's face was blank for a moment, and then she knelt down in panic.

"Why did Madam say such a thing! This concubine can never afford such a crime!"

"If I remember correctly, you have been looking for doctors everywhere because of difficulty in sleeping in recent years. The doctor's prescription has been changed a lot, but there is no improvement, and it is getting worse every day." Cui seemed to change the subject, "Until this year It suddenly got better in the spring. I asked about it before, and you just said that the weather got warmer, and you felt better, and gradually you slept peacefully."

"There is such a thing..."

Ruan Shi knelt there, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he didn't understand why Cui Shi suddenly said this.

"If it's just because of your state of mind, there doesn't seem to be anything that can make you suddenly happy. There are spring days every year, why is this spring day making you heal suddenly?" Cui looked at her and asked: "Would you like to come here?" , probably changed the prescription, right?"

The "wonderful medicine" that can cure Ruan's years of insomnia;

The "poison" that Zhaozhao sleeps day by day and is difficult to wake up;

The moment she saw the woman just now, such a connection popped up in her mind.

Of course, this is just her guess. The truth may be that she was thinking too much, but this did not prevent her eyes from being firm at this time, and her tone of conviction throughout the whole process - after all, it is good to use it to defraud the Ruan family.

Xu Mingyi understood in his heart, and said at the right time: "Mother, I heard from Ah Kui that most of the medicines used to treat insomnia can't be stopped. It seems that Auntie is looking quite good now, and she sleeps well after all. Let someone check it out. It shouldn't be difficult to check the medicines you have taken recently."

Aoi was at a loss.

... When did she say this to the girl again?

Over there Cui Shi has already nodded, Dang even ordered Qing Ying to take people to the Ruan Family's courtyard to search for evidence.

Ruan's face was extremely pale.

"Madam has no evidence, so she is so suspicious of my concubine, it's weird to say!" She was full of tears, looking anxious and angry: "Madam sent people around me to search for my concubine's residence, naturally Madam said If you find anything, you will be able to find something—by then, the concubine will have mouths all over her body, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of this crime!"

Cui sneered.

"What this woman did tonight and what she confessed is the evidence. Even if there is no evidence, everyone in the mansion will be suspicious if something happened to the girl in the mansion. When the real culprit is not known, even my ancestral home is the place where the search Got it! If you suspect that my people will be tampering, you can go with the people from the girl's yard——you dodge your words and change your meekness in the past, doesn't it seem like you are calling yourself? "

"Madam's words—"

"enough."

Ruan Shi was about to argue again, but was cut off by Xu Jin, who had been silent all this time.

Hearing this voice, Ruan Shi, who was kneeling there, froze slightly, and turned to look at him.

"Madam's people will not slander and wrong you, and the Zhen Guo government will not blame innocent people." Xu Jin looked at her with coldness in his eyes: "If it was really you who did it, it can't be your third son." It can be picked out in a few words. Instead of making meaningless sophistry, it is better to admit it quickly and save yourself a bit of dignity."

If Ruan Shi seemed normal at first, his reaction when he heard about his insomnia later on had gradually revealed flaws in his eyes.

"..." Looking at his expressionless expression and listening to these words, Ruan opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything after all.

Looking at each other, Xu Jin frowned tightly, but her tense body softened inch by inch, her head lowered feebly, slightly hanging in front of her body, her hands resting on her side, the corners of her eyes and her lips protruding with irony. Come on with a smile.

Yeah, pointless.

Just now she was so frightened that she panicked and failed to figure out the key point.

That's a girl.

In this mansion, it is true that you are afraid of falling if you hold it in your hand, and you are afraid of melting if you hold it in your mouth.

Once she is suspected of murdering the girl, even if it is only a suspicion, it is enough for her to stay in the mansion.

Even if she really got away with it by luck, what's the use?

If all she wanted was to live like air, she wouldn't have taken such risks.

Seeing her half-dead demeanor, Cui resisted her disgust and said, "Tell me, why did you harm the girl? Did someone instigate her?"

She would like to hear what kind of foolish talk this is from a housewife. Compared with the ones she heard from other people, can she come up with any new tricks——

Xu Mingyi took a sip of tea.

She also wanted to hear when she had provoked this Aunt Ruan who hadn't hit her a few times before.

It's late today, sorry everyone.

Because I have been busy learning to drive during the day recently (delaying the star subject test for two years before going to practice driving...), today I have relatives and children celebrating their birthdays, so it is even more late, I hope everyone will forgive me.

It will be Monday in a while, and I would like to ask everyone for a recommendation ticket, thank you everyone!

Happy Mother's Day~
