There was a look of fear in Shaoyao's eyes, and she nodded blankly, "The old lady is seriously ill, and it was so difficult in the house at that time. How dare I forget this?"
At that time, the mansion was in chaos, so Xie Songhua was ordered to stay at Shou'an Hall to diagnose and treat the old lady.
There were many twists and turns in the process, and everyone thought that the old lady would not survive that time. In the end, only the aunt and the third girl stayed in front of the old lady. Fortunately, the old lady was finally cured.
This matter is an unforgettable thing for the entire Shou'antang people, how could they forget it.
It was precisely because of this incident that everyone in Shou'an Hall looked at the third girl in a different light. For them, apart from the second girl and the fifth girl who had lived in Shou'an Hall since childhood, it was the third girl who later had the closest relationship with Shou'an Hall.
close.
And as the first-class maid in front of the old lady, she is naturally more concerned about the affairs of Shou'antang.
And what happened at the beginning was indeed a bit strange. Logically speaking, the old lady was seriously ill at the time, and she should have been by her side at all times. However, both the aunt and the third girl only asked Shen's mother to serve in the inner room alone.
She was also confused at the time, but after sitting in the maid's seat for a long time, she finally had some intuitions that were different from ordinary people.
Especially the two women who were responsible for making the medicine, their behavior was a bit abnormal, and they looked like they were in fear all day long.
Coupled with the reactions of some other people, she knew the seriousness of it, and she didn't dare to ask more questions.
I originally thought that there would be a storm in the house after the incident, but unexpectedly it has been quiet all the time. Even now, the incident seems to be almost forgotten.
When she got this paper bag last night, she suddenly remembered.
She had just been holding on to a lucky mentality. Until now, when she heard Xie Songhua's words, she still didn't understand.
Without waiting for Xie Songhua to speak, he immediately slid down from his seat and knelt directly at Xie Songhua's feet, "Third Miss! Third Miss, help me! I'm really not a slave. I have been in the Shou'an Hall since I was a child.
She started out as a maid and has now become a first-class maid, all relying on the support of the old lady.
For the slave, the old lady is the slave's heaven. How could the slave do such a thing? I really don't know how this thing appeared in the slave's box, but it is definitely not the slave's property. Please be sure, Miss Three.
You have to believe me, otherwise... I will never be able to defend myself."
As she spoke, tears and runny nose came down. She was obviously frightened.
Xie Songhua quickly helped her up and handed her a handkerchief, "Okay, I didn't say it was you, so don't tell anyone about this. Leave the things here with me first, and I'll think about how to deal with them.
Since you came to me today with this thing, you probably want to prove your innocence, I know that, so don't be too nervous."
Shaoyao nodded repeatedly, looking at Xie Songhua expectantly, "Thank you very much, Miss, for trusting me, slave..."
"Don't say anything else. I also know that you have always been loyal to your grandmother. She can't live without you for a day. Based on this, you have no reason to harm your grandmother. Okay, stop crying and don't scream.
If people see it, go back first!"
With Xie Songhua's words, Shaoyao gradually relaxed, bowed to her slowly, and then withdrew.
Although no one was in the house, Aunt Lan did not go far, and she heard some of the noise inside. At this moment, when she looked at Xie Songhua, her face showed some hesitation.
Seeing the person walking away, Xie Songhua smiled and said, "Auntie, just say what you want to say. There is no need to be so polite between us."
When Aunt Lan heard what she said, a smile appeared on her face, and then she said, "The girl has always had great ideas, and what I want to say is just a little reminder.
After all, this matter involves the safety of the old lady, it is of great importance, and the girl was served closely by the old lady at the beginning, but you must not hide it, it is better to report it to the master immediately. "
Xie Songhua looked at her in surprise, "Are you saying you're afraid someone will make a fuss about this matter?"
Aunt Lan sighed: "In our house, someone actually dared to poison the old lady. Who would dare to believe it? If you think about it carefully, even the one who has already left the house may not be so crazy as to do this.
situation.
Now that the person hiding in the dark has not been found yet, it is quite disturbing. Now that this matter has come to the girl again, it is better for the girl to be careful."
Xie Songhua showed a smile that reassured her, "What you are saying is that it is up to my father to decide whether the peony is really innocent or not. I just tell my father that this thing is the same thing as the poison that the old lady was poisoned that day.
Already."
Hearing what she said, Aunt Lan also breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded: "That's right, the girl's marriage is the most important thing right now. It's better for the girl to be less involved in other things."
Hearing her words, Xie Songhua couldn't help but smile. Not to mention Aunt Lan, the entire Yanchundai and even the entire Xie family were worried about her marriage to that King Chen.
It seemed that she couldn't give up until she was put in the position of Princess Chen. Everyone was worried about what would happen in the middle.
Xie Songhua had no choice but to let them go, and then went to Mengpoju at night when no one was paying attention.
Xie Yuncang was also surprised when he saw the paper bag. He was trapped outside because of the assassination of King Chen. When he came back, the old lady's poison had been cured. However, during that time, there were many people coming and going in Shou'an Hall.
It was a mess, and it was a bit late when I discovered it. Although there were secret inquiries later, it still came to nothing.
Except for a few people, most people didn't know that the old lady was poisoned at first, and they just thought she was sick.
Now this poison suddenly appears again, which can't help but make people wary.
If that person wanted to blame Shaoyao, why didn't he guide everyone to turn their attention to Shaoyao?
If it wasn't deliberately framed by Shaoyao, then why not destroy it directly?
It was suddenly discovered at this time. Was it placed in the peony box at the beginning or was it done recently? What kind of purpose is hidden behind this?
Xie Yuncang saw Xie Songhua in a black cloak at a glance, and his eyes showed a bit of relief, "You did the right thing in this matter. No matter what the purpose of the person in the dark is, the most important thing for us right now is to wait and see what happens, and then secretly pay attention to everything in the house.
movement.
Don’t worry, I will instruct you to strengthen the security in the mansion later and pay attention to every move of everyone who comes into contact with Shou’antang.”
Xie Songhua said with a smile: "My father is far-sighted and far-sighted, which is beyond the reach of his daughter."
Seeing that she seemed to have something else to say after she finished speaking, Xie Yuncang raised his eyebrows and said, "What else do you want?"
"To be honest, my daughter does have two things she wants to ask her father about."
Under Xie Yuncang's instruction, Xie Songhua sat down, "The first thing I want to do is ask my father, what news is there about my adoptive parents...?"
Xie Yuncang raised his eyes and glanced at her, sighing softly in his heart, but there was no clue on his face, "According to the information from the people who went down to investigate, it seems that someone has discovered their traces in the Nanyang Mansion area, but the people waiting for us
When I went to check, he was nowhere to be seen. Because the information was not very accurate, I didn’t tell you for the time being."
Xie Songhua's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, and he nodded repeatedly, "Thank you father, any news is good news."
Although I don't know why Jiang and his wife went to Nanyang Mansion, it at least means that they are still alive.
Seeing her looking so excited, Xie Yuncang felt a little uncomfortable, so he turned to ask: "What is the other thing?"
