The light of the lantern flickered, and someone walked through the night.

When she got closer, Li Lanhua said in surprise: "Mother Hua, it's you!"

"Lanhua? Why are you here? Is the County Lord here?"

"exist."

Li Lanhua originally wanted to say that it was Gu Yunyao who asked her to wait here, but Granny Hua seemed to be in a hurry and walked in a hurry.

She swallowed her words again, lowered her head and followed.

Aunt Hua glanced at her with a slightly confused look, but she didn't see it.

Gu Yunyao was drinking tea in the outer room, Yang was playing checkers in the room, and the boss was standing on the steps.

Aunt Hua blew out the lantern and put it aside, then walked in with a serious expression: "County Lord."

The headmaster stretched out his hand to stop her.

Aunt Hua was stunned: "County Lord, I have something important to report."

The boss said coldly: "Just say it here."

"You..." Nanny Hua held back her anger, "What I said is very important."

"Say it here," the boss said with a deadpan expression.

Across the door, Gu Yunyao remained silent. Aunt Hua vaguely felt that something was not right in the atmosphere.

She lowered her voice: "County Master, what I want to say is related to my wife's safety!"

Gu Yunyao slowly raised her eyes, her dark eyes reflected the flickering candlelight, flickering on and off.

"What you want to say is that there is poison in the soup for dinner today?"

"Exactly!" Nanny Hua nodded, "I just found out about it, and I was afraid that my wife had been plotted and poisoned, so I rushed here in a hurry."

As she spoke, she lifted the hem of her skirt - the shoes under the skirt were stained with mud, and there was a large area on her knees that was wet.

"So anxious that you fell down?" Gu Yunyao chuckled, "It's really hard for you."

"Madam has been kind to this old slave, so what does it matter if the old slave falls down?" Aunt Hua said in a sincere tone, "My Lord, this old slave knows who the murderer is."

Gu Yunyao raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Who is it?"

"It's her!" Grandma Hua pointed at Li Lanhua who was standing aside.

Li Lanhua was unprepared and wanted to listen quietly. Unexpectedly, Grandma Hua suddenly pointed her finger at her.

She was startled: "Me? Mom, why do you say that?"

"Oh, you still want to deny it? Today you went to the kitchen and pretended to help, but in fact you poisoned me.

I really didn't expect that the county boss was so kind to you and asked you to serve in the yard. How did you live in the kitchen?

The county chief has put you in a good position, but you don’t want to be grateful, and you also intend to harm my wife!"

"I didn't," Li Lanhua turned pale and knelt down with a plop, "The county master is aware of this!"

"Cook Li had evil intentions at the beginning. You are her sister and you came here to avenge her." Aunt Hua said firmly, "If I hadn't found the poison under the stove, I wouldn't have known you were so vicious."

Gu Yunyao quietly watched Nanny Hua filled with indignation. It wasn't until she finished speaking that she asked slowly: "Oh? What kind of poison did you find?"

Aunt Hua took out a bag wrapped in a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it over with both hands.

The boss took it away and gave it to Gu Yunyao.

Gu Yunyao didn't even look at it and threw it directly on the table: "Wrap the poison in his own handkerchief and put it under the stove in the big kitchen. How stupid is Li Lanhua?"

Li Lanhua wiped away tears: "I really don't have..."

Aunt Hua snorted: "Don't let her fool you, County Master. This little hooves is just as bad as her sister!

She pretends to be pitiful on the surface, but in reality she is smart and vicious! This is her scheme. Even if she is discovered by others, she can still be said to be innocent and framed."

Gu Yunyao put down the tea cup and smiled slightly: "What Aunt Hua said makes sense. But I think the method this time is too clumsy.

Just like what happened to Chef Li last time, she should have been silenced and made to look like she was committing suicide in fear of crime, and then put the poisonous flower juice into her room.

In this way, the County Lord can at least trust you one more time."

Aunt Hua was startled, and the panic in her eyes flashed away: "County Lord, what do you mean?"

"You don't understand?" Gu Yunyao stood up and walked to her side, "Mother Hua, are you too impatient?

If things had ended with Chef Li's death, maybe I could still trust you and not become suspicious.

But the appearance of Li Lanhua made you think again. As you said, she is Chef Li's sister anyway, so even if she takes action, it is for revenge, so it is logical."

"That time you deliberately sprained your foot and pushed her into my yard to deliver something for you. Didn't you just want her to appear in front of me?

I moved her to work in the yard, just as you wanted, but she is timid and doesn't go out of the yard much, so you never had the chance.

But today, the opportunity came. I asked her to help in the big kitchen, but a poisonous soup came into the big kitchen.

Strictly speaking, it is not considered poisonous. If Aunt Gu or I had eaten it, we would have felt dizzy and abdominal pain at most, but it would have been different if my mother had eaten it.

She had been poisoned by flower juice. If she drank this kind of soup again, her condition would worsen to the point of going crazy, or she would die in a few days!

Tell me, why are you so deliberately planning to harm my mother?"

Aunt Hua's heart sank suddenly: It's over.

She actually knew it all!

In desperation, Nanny Hua turned around and left.

The boss had been prepared for it long ago, how could he let her go so easily?

He kicked up the small stool at his feet and hit her knees.

Aunt Hua fell down.

The boss followed her and grabbed the back of her neck: "Get up!"

Aunt Hua showed no reaction, her body was limp and her head drooped.

died.

The master was shocked and tried to breathe again, but he was indeed dead.

"this……"

Gu Yunyao stepped forward, and the headmaster was a little at a loss: "Ayao, I..."

"It has nothing to do with you," Gu Yunyao shook her head, "Even if you broke her leg, she wouldn't be dead. She was poisoned."

The boss was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Damn it!"

Just as he was about to give up and throw the body down, he suddenly noticed something seemed to be there.

"Ayao, look."

Gu Yunyao glanced at Li Lanhua who was standing aside: "Go back to your room and rest. I know it has nothing to do with you."

Li Lanhua didn't dare to cry, so she quickly got up and went back to the house.

Gu Yunyao used the light to see that there was half a mark on the skin of the back of Nanny Hua's neck, which looked like some kind of mark, but it was only half a mark and could not be seen completely.

"Why is there only half of it?" Gu Yunyao was puzzled. If he looked carefully, he saw that there seemed to be some powder. He twisted it up and smelled it. It was pollen.

She raised her head and asked the headmaster: "Aunt Gu, do you have pollen on your hand?"

The headmaster nodded: "Yes, my sister-in-law said she wanted flowers just now. I went to the garden to pick some for her. It should be stained on my hands. Before I even bothered to wash them, this woman came. "

now it's right.

Gu Yunyao pointed at the mark: "Is there any more? Put all the pollen on it."

The chief did as he was told, and soon, the pollen was applied, and the mark showed its complete appearance.

Gu Yunyao went back to the house to get a pen and paper and traced it.

"Aunt Gu, please keep an eye on my mother. I'll be back as soon as I go."

"good."

Gu Yunyao put the paper in her pocket, put on her cloak, and quietly left the house.

Shen Munan had just changed his clothes and was about to put on a mask and go out.

I haven't met Gu Yunyao as a "killer" for a long time, and I am about to tease her.

Before he had put it on, Chunni walked in quickly: "Your Majesty, the county lord is here!"
