Chapter 2247 People Around Butler Li

Gu Xin took a deep look at Que'er. She found that Que'er didn't seem to be afraid of Miss Feng San's body at all. She stood straight, unlike Ying'er, who subconsciously moved away from the bed and her feet were shaking slightly.

Gu Xin understood the little girl's fear when facing the dead. She didn't know whether Que'er was afraid because of the large bill or other reasons. Anyway, compared with Miss Feng San's body, Que'er seemed to be more afraid of the living Mrs. Feng Er.

When she was questioned in Mrs. Feng Er's room just now, Que'er looked very scared.

"Do you know that the cause of death of Miss Feng San was poisoning, and she ate poisonous cakes!" After a moment of silence, Gu Xin suddenly said.

Ying'er looked up at Gu Xin in horror, and Que'er also looked up, with a confused look on her face.

"Princess, no, it's not, I don't know." Ying'er came to her senses and waved her hands quickly.

"What don't you know?" Gu Xin frowned and asked.

"The Third Lady only eats the cakes and pastries made by me. But, but, but I didn't poison it, I don't know, I really didn't poison it!" Ying'er knelt down and cried.

She was panicked, and now she was not afraid of the corpse on the bed.

"I didn't say you knew, nor did I say you poisoned it. Are you confessing?" Gu Xin looked down at her and said coldly.

"No, no, no..." Ying'er shook her head vigorously.

"Princess." Que'er also knelt down, kneeling beside Ying'er, "I also ate the cakes made by Ying'er. When I sent them back to the Sixth Lady yesterday, the Sixth Lady didn't want them, so she asked me and Ying'er to eat them together. I and Ying'er both ate them."

"But Que'er, you brought the cakes from the Sixth Lady. You were the only one who touched them during the whole process, right?" Gu Xin asked Que'er back.

"Yes." Que'er was stunned, then answered, but did not refute herself.

"But we don't know which piece of cake the Third Lady wants to eat from a plate of cakes!" Ying'er said anxiously.

"So, I'm asking you how much you made yesterday. How many people can get your cakes?" Gu Xin continued to ask.

"I made some in the morning and afternoon, and put them in the Sixth Lady's room." Ying'er said.

"Are there any left now?" Gu Xin asked again.

"I make them every day. I didn't make them today because something happened in the morning. I eat as much as I make." Ying'er replied.

"Then after you made them in the kitchen, did you share them with others?" Gu Xin asked again.

"No, I don't think so..." Ying'er looked at Que'er uncertainly.

"Yes." Que'er answered without hesitation, "Last night, the Sixth Lady gave the remaining cakes to me and Ying'er, and I didn't eat them all. On the way to the kitchen, I met Xiao Shunzi, who said he was hungry. I thought there were still some left, so I gave the remaining two cakes wrapped in a handkerchief to Xiao Shunzi."

"Who is Xiao Shunzi?" Gu Xin asked.

"Xiao Shunzi is the errand boy for housekeeper Li." Yun said.

"Housekeeper Li?" Gu Xin frowned even more and looked at Ying'er, "Is what she said true?"

"This..." Ying'er looked at Que'er with some embarrassment, and then said, "I went to the kitchen with Que'er. When I was almost there, I suddenly had a stomachache and went to the toilet, so I didn't know."

After saying that, Ying'er lowered her head with some guilt. Why did it hurt at that time when it didn't hurt earlier or later?
