Shen Zhonglei had just gone out with Qian Poxin the day before, and today he hurried home in a hurry. He was already very tired, but he had to do something like this again, and he couldn't go back to rest. It can be said that he was tired and angry. .
"Come here, make me a pot of strong tea." Shen Zhonglei ordered.
Rong An hurriedly said: "Sir, the eldest lady just sent someone to say that she knows that I must be exhausted after a hard journey, and asked the younger ones not to make tea for me, saying that drinking too much is not good.
"The eldest lady has already sent someone to prepare ginseng tea, and it will be delivered to me in a moment."
Hearing this, Shen Zhonglei's tired expression softened slightly and he said, "Shu'er is still considerate and knows that she cares about me."
"Isn't that right? The eldest girl is attentive and filial. She is a blessing to the master!" Rong An had his arm broken by Mr. Xu before. During his training days, he had to take care of Shen Tianshu and Mingyu, so he naturally did not hesitate to do so. Say a few more nice words in front of Shen Zhonglei.
Sure enough, not long after, Mingyu came over with a food box, not only bringing ginseng tea, but also some snacks.
"Master, I'm afraid that you're hungry, so I asked my slave to pick up some sweet and salty snacks and bring them over." After Mingyu saluted Shen Zhonglei, he placed the items in the food box one by one, and then said, "The fire in the kitchen has been turned off at this moment. If the master is hungry at night, he will send someone to Shuangtang Courtyard to ask. The girl specially left a stove in the small kitchen, so that the master can eat warm at least."
"She is the only one who knows how to care about me." Shen Zhonglei said with some emotion, "I understand, you go back and tell Shu'er not to worry and to rest early.
"Her body is already weak. Just leave these things to the servants. Don't tire yourself anymore."
Mingyu agreed and left.
Shen Zhonglei ate a few snacks with ginseng tea. He didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or whether the ginseng tea was really effective. He did feel less tired.
He cheered up and first brought Jingwen out alone to ask a few questions, and then asked someone to bring Cai Hui and Cai Yu over for questioning.
Cai Hua really didn't know anything. When he saw that it was Shen Zhonglei who was interrogating him, he was so frightened that he swore that he had no knowledge of this matter.
When Shen Zhonglei couldn't find anything out, and it didn't look like she was faking it, Shen Zhonglei didn't torture her, and said in a deep voice: "Take her down first, and I will deal with Caiyu after I finish questioning her."
Caiyu was stunned when she was brought up. She didn't seem to expect that Shen Zhonglei would come back so soon.
However, she quickly adjusted her mood, knelt down and said, "Slave, please pay my respects to the master."
"Tell me, what is this rebirth medicine about?" Shen Zhonglei asked straight to the point without following her around the bush.
"Master, I don't know about the reincarnation medicine. Yesterday was the first time I heard about it. Didn't sister Jingwen give that medicine to my aunt?"
"She is just a fool. She was so fooled by you that she thought she was doing something good by taking the blame!" Shen Zhonglei said coldly.
Caiyu continued to pretend to be stupid and said: "I don't know what the master means by this."
"Jingwen has already explained everything. It was you who came up with the idea, and you got the medicine from outside. She just made a knife in your hand."
"If you tell the truth honestly, you will suffer less. If you insist on being tough to the end -" Shen Zhonglei said, slamming the table hard, "Then don't blame me for being cruel. Not only will you suffer the consequences yourself, but your family will also follow suit." You are implicated!"
When Caiyu heard this, not only did she not feel scared, but she smiled very strangely and said, "If it can really implicate my family, then I really have to thank you for your grace."
Shen Zhonglei was a little confused by her attitude. Why did she look like she wanted her family to suffer along with her?
"Come here, use torture!" Shen Zhonglei was not in the mood to waste time with her like this, so he simply asked someone to bring up the torture instruments.
Seeing this, Caiyu hurriedly said: "Master, don't bother, the reason why I know about the reincarnation medicine is because I heard it from my parents before.
"After Aunt Guo became pregnant, she had been worried that she was pregnant with a girl and would not be able to support her when she was born, nor would she be able to stay with her in her later years.
"The slave was bought into the mansion. She had no foundation in the mansion. The only one she could rely on was Aunt Guo. Naturally, she also hoped that she could be better, so she told her about a folk reincarnation medicine and asked her if she wanted to try it.
"Aunt Guo was so eager for her son that she asked her slave to go out and buy medicine for her. It was inconvenient for her to leave the house for a long time, so she entrusted the matter to her father and brother at home for help.
"Aunt Guo is very generous with her money, so naturally they are very attentive.
"As for Jingwen, as the master said, she is just a fool who wants to take credit."
After seeing the instruments of torture, Caiyu immediately stopped hiding and confessed everything in one breath, and directly confessed all her parents and brothers.
Shen Zhonglei has been an official for many years and has always been diligent in government affairs. He is not the kind of faint-hearted official who leaves all official affairs to his staff and only cares about his own pleasure. He has tried many cases over the years.
Caiyu's explanation, both in attitude and timing, gave off a sense of abnormality.
However, Shen Zhonglei did not bring it up immediately. Instead, he said: "In this case, then bring your parents and brother for questioning."
While he was talking, he kept staring at Caiyu's face.
After Cai Yu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Although this expression flashed past and was quickly covered up by her, it still could not escape Shen Zhonglei's eyes.
It seems there must be something fishy here.
Shen Zhonglei asked people to take her away first, and also told people to keep her under guard and not let her commit suicide. Then he asked people to check Caiju's contract of sale, and to find the person Yazi and her family who had dealt with her as soon as possible.
Come back and ask questions.
After all this tossing, it was already late at night, and Shen Zhonglei really felt empty in his belly, so he asked someone to go to Shuangtang Courtyard to get some midnight snacks, and he ate them comfortably before going to rest.
After Caiyu was taken down, she was inspected from head to toe, even her mouth was not spared.
After checking that there was nothing that could kill her, she was tied up and stuffed in her mouth. Two rough women were left in the room to watch her every move.
The position of her limbs being cut and tied behind her back was very uncomfortable, but Caiyu didn't care at all.
She herself is just a bitch, and even her biological parents and brother have no love for her.
Back then, when she called Tian Tian and the Earth and Earth for help, if the girl hadn't come to save her, she would have turned into a corpse long ago.
Now that I can do something for the girl and trap my parents and brother into trouble, even if I die, it will be worth it.
It's a pity that Miss Shen's control over the back house of the Shen family is too strict. She tried her best to trick Han Qiao, but could never find a chance to attack Ping Niang.
