Chapter 371 Asking Questions
The polished white silver spoon suddenly turned black, which couldn't be more obvious.
"Miss, don't drink it, it's poisonous..." The little maid Baozi saw that when her lady scooped up the sweet soup, the silver spoon had turned black, and her voice trembled with fear.
Li Shu didn't seem to notice the change in the spoon. Looking at Baozi, the little maid rolled her eyes and said coquettishly: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a sweet soup carefully prepared for me by my sixth sister."
After Li Shu finished speaking, she was about to put the sweet soup into her lips.
"Miss, I'm not talking nonsense. It's true. Look, the silver spoon has turned black. It turns black because it's poisonous."
Baozi's little maid screamed and rushed over. Her chubby hand grabbed his lady's delicate hand. Baozi's face turned pale with fright, fearing that his lady had drank the sweet soup.
Finally, at the reminder of the little maid Baozi, Li Shuzhen turned her head slightly and landed on the spoon in her hand. Then, as if she had seen something incredible, her watery eyes were filled with light and her pink lips were slightly parted. "Yeah".
bang
The sweet soup was placed heavily on the table, and Li Shu turned her watery eyes to the girl who brought the sweet soup.
Then, in the eyes of the girl who brought the sweet soup, the whole world changed.
The fifth lady, who was originally as beautiful as a spring peach with a gentle smile, looked at her now, but her eyes were as cold as if they came from the cold winter.
"Giggle... don't be afraid, come on, tell me what's going on?" Li Shu played with the blackened silver spoon in her slender hands, looked at the girl and asked with a smile, "How can my dear sister give it to me?" Did you give me a bowl of poisonous soup?"
It's okay if you don't smile, but it's even colder if you smile.
"It's not from the lady." The girl who brought the sweet soup shook her head repeatedly, her voice trembling.
"Oh, giggle. So this sweet soup has grown legs and came to me?" Li Shu glanced at the girl who brought the sweet soup and sneered.
"No, no, that's not what I meant." The girl who gave the sweet soup shook her head again.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Li Shudan opened her lips slightly and asked with a smile.
"My slave is saying that my lady has not poisoned her." The girl who brought the sweet soup shook her head and explained.
"Oh, your lady didn't poison her." Li Shu nodded.
The girl who brought the sweet soup nodded repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second her soul was about to fly away.
"You brought the sweet soup. Your lady didn't poison it, but the sweet soup is poisonous. Does that mean you poisoned it?" Li Shu suddenly stood up and sneered, looking at the person who brought the sweet soup. The girl asked loudly.
"Okay, it turns out you were the one who poisoned me. Why did you poison my lady?" The little maid Baozi's eyes widened in anger, and she wanted to bite the girl a few times.
"No, no, it's not me." The girl who brought the sweet soup turned pale with fright, and she denied it.
"What a joke, you brought the sweet soup. Your lady didn't poison it, and you didn't poison it either. Does that mean I poisoned it myself?" Li Shu asked with a sneer.
The girl below nodded first, then shook her head, and finally became confused.
"Okay, you little hooves have quite a tough mouth. Since you toast and don't like to eat, then try to punish the bar. If you are bullied to the point of being bullied, if I don't do something, I will be bullied to death. Ah." Li Shu's expression changed as she spoke, and she coldly ordered, "Someone, tie up the hooves of this bitch who intends to murder the master."
"Go and send a message to my dear sixth sister. I want to ask in person to see if there is any misunderstanding."
"Go and ask the eldest aunt to come and make decisions with me. I came all the way from the south. Fortunately, the elders in the house took care of me and saved me from a life of loneliness and dependence on others. Shu'er felt warm in her heart, but today Shu'er just wants to eat a bowl. Sweet soup, but was almost poisoned to death. If the eldest aunt cannot make the decision with me, Shu'er will not dare to live in the house. "
"Go and ask the second sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister to come over. Go quickly. I heard that Sister Liu wants to give each of us sisters a piece of sweet soup. I am lucky, but if the three sisters encounter misfortune, then I Don’t live anymore.”
The maids and mothers in Li Shu's courtyard were gearing up and were ready to go. After Li Shu finished giving her instructions, they all carried out the instructions in an orderly manner under the command of the mother in order to show off in front of Li Shu.
The girl who brought the sweet soup had her arms twisted by two old ladies, tied behind her back, pulled into the yard, and tied to a tree.
Soon, Mrs. Linhuai Hou came to Li Shu's yard accompanied by several maids and old ladies, and then the second young lady, the third young lady, the fourth young lady and others also came to Li Shu's yard accompanied by their respective maids and old ladies.
"Auntie, you have to make the decision for Shu'er. Shu'er almost lost sight of her just now. Shu'er was just greedy and asked the sixth sister for some sweet soup. However, the sweet soup was poisoned by someone unknown. "
As soon as Mrs. Linhuai Marquis arrived, Li Shu trotted up to Mrs. Linhuai Marquis with a frightened look on her face. She weakly and pitifully held Mrs. Linhuai Marquis's arms. Her watery eyes were filled with mist, as if she was going to die in the next second. Tears flowed.
Just when Li Shu was about to continue speaking, the sixth lady of the Hou Mansion, who looked aggrieved and aggrieved, also came to Li Shu's yard accompanied by her maid and mother-in-law.
As soon as Miss Six arrived, she interrupted Li Shu's complaint and asked Li Shu angrily:
"Fifth sister, I have good intentions to make sweet soup with you, why should I frame my sister and poison you?"
As soon as Miss Six said this, everyone turned their attention to Li Shu, as if to see how Li Shu would answer.
"Why did my sister say that? When did my sister say that it was my sister who poisoned me?"
Li Shu looked at the Sixth Miss with a surprised look on her face. She looked very confused. She seemed to have no idea why the Sixth Miss would ask such a question. Then she looked at the Marquis of Linhuai and the others with wet eyes and asked:
"I never said that the poison was caused by my sister, eldest aunt, second sister, did you hear Shu'er say that just now?"
Under the gaze of Li Shu, the Marquis of Linhuai and the others all shook their heads. Li Shu just stated the facts, saying that she asked for a sweet soup from Miss Six, but was poisoned by someone. She did not say who it was. Poisoned.
Seeing the Marquis of Linhuai and the others shaking their heads, Li Shu slightly raised the corners of her lips, saluted to the Marquis of Linhuai, and walked to the Sixth Miss with gentle steps. She looked straight at the Sixth Miss with her dark eyes. Asked: "My sister has also seen it. My eldest aunt and my sisters have all testified for me. It was nothing just now. Now that I think about my sister's words carefully, I want to ask my sister why my sister said that my sister framed my sister for poisoning." What? Could it be that my sister knows something?"
"Sister, why are you talking about my sister like this? My sister feels aggrieved." The sixth lady of the Hou Mansion looked at Li Shu with a hurt face, her round and cute little face was full of weakness and pity.
"What did I say? I just asked my sister. Could it be that my sister was almost poisoned to death, so I can't even ask her?" Li Shu said, the mist in her watery eyes getting thicker.
"You!" Miss Six was speechless.
"Shu'er, Zhu'er, please stop arguing. Let's talk slowly one by one. Shu'er, you say it first." Mrs. Linhuai Marquis stopped the argument between the two.
Li Shu first asked the little maid Baozi to take out the sweet soup and spoon from the room, looked at everyone, then brought the sweet soup to the tied girl and asked four questions.
Did you bring this sweet soup?
After you brought the sweet soup, has the sweet soup ever left your sight?
Did I use a spoon in front of you and notice that the spoon turned black?
Did you inject the poison?
Of these four questions, for the first three, the girl who brought the sweet soup nodded vigorously, and for the fourth question, she shook her head vigorously.
"Aunt, Shu'er has no problem. Please make the decision for Shu'er." After Li Shu asked these four questions, she looked at Mrs. Linhuai Marquis and became speechless.
