Aunt Pei's expression suddenly changed, "Me? What do you want me to explain?"
Qiao Yuyan pushed another box, "I found this in Miss Xiaopan's room, or should I ask Miss Xiaopan to explain?"
When Aunt Pei heard this, she immediately sat up straight and asked, "What's going on?"
Qiao Yurong pointed to the three boxes on the table, "Master Wu has done a lot of research on spices, but it is very difficult to accurately identify all the ingredients inside.
Among these three unusual spices, the one from Miss Qixi is the most similar to the one in my mother’s room.
Next is the one in Miss Xiaopan’s room, and finally is the one that Miss Shiye mentioned just now for pain relief.
Right now Qixi can't produce any evidence to prove that it has nothing to do with it, so I'll ask Miss Xiaopan first."
Xiaopan is the new little girl who follows Aunt Pei. She probably has learned the rules well and has always been a little timid. She is not noticeable at all when she is thrown in a crowd. Compared with the big maid next to her, her demeanor and demeanor are not as good as before.
Much worse.
Therefore, almost no one would notice this little girl on weekdays. Now when Qiao Yurong pointed her out, everyone realized that she was following Aunt Pei.
At this moment, her face, which was more childish than the others, was full of panic. After being watched by everyone, she walked out tremblingly, "Slave... slave... don't... don't know! This..."
I couldn't even say the rest of the words completely. He looked like a child who wasn't frightened.
Aunt Pei stood up with an embarrassed look on her face, "Did the third girl make a mistake? This girl hasn't grown up yet! I didn't even want her at first, but I kept her because she was pitiful and hard-working.
.
What can she do with this idea? Not to mention the incense the girl brought out, it’s what I use in my house, I’m afraid she won’t be able to figure it out!”
Qi Xi refused to admit it at the front, and the little girl at the back said she didn't know him, which seemed to be a matter of course.
However, the smile on Qiao Yurong's face became meaningful, "It seems that it hasn't been long since Miss Xiaopan came to Aunt Pei?"
Aunt Pei didn't answer immediately, she paused and then nodded lightly, "That's what happened recently. Last time, for the second girl's matter, the eldest girl changed the maids in the house again, and then she came to me.
"
"The aunt probably doesn't know much about this little girl, so she's so eager to defend her, right?"
Qiao Yurong said this, but before Aunt Pei could understand it, she saw her take out another thing.
There was a "clang" sound.
Qiao Yurong actually placed a small crossbow on the table.
"Miss Xiaopan, don't you recognize this... too?"
Although Xiaopan looks inconspicuous, her eyes are very flexible. At this moment, panic and fear were revealed in those flexible eyes, and the whole person was sifting through chaff even more fiercely, "Slave... I don't know you, this slave."
ah!"
Qiao Yurong nodded when she heard this, as if she believed her words, "I don't know him! It's normal. How could a little girl know this? Maybe Miss Shiye knows better?"
Shi Ye didn't expect that the topic would turn to him again. He frowned slightly and then said calmly, "I have practiced."
"Then I would like to ask Miss Shi Ye, is it difficult to practice such a crossbow?"
As soon as Qiao Yurong finished speaking, she picked up the leaves without hesitation. She walked over directly, picked up the delicate small crossbow, and gestured twice, "A woman of this weight cannot hold a cup of tea with one hand. If you practice all year round, you will get used to it."
The big arm of this hand will be much more developed than the other hand, and calluses will form on the wrist."
As soon as Shi Ye finished speaking, Mrs. Xu immediately said: "Go check her out."
Not only did the old lady go with her mother-in-law, but Mrs. Xu asked Huancui to follow her.
Xiaopan still looked like she was shivering, as if she was frightened by the scene in front of her, and kept hiding behind Aunt Pei.
"What? Your people can't investigate?" the old lady said, her eyes fixed on Aunt Pei.
The expression on Aunt Pei's face was a little stiff, "Old lady, this... this girl is a little timid, and isn't the third girl checking for incense? Could it be that the maid in front of the eldest girl knows martial arts, but the maid next to me has no self-defense skills?
Can’t have any?”
Is this a direct admission?
Qiao Yuyan sneered and said: "My aunt is wrong. What happened to our aunt now shows that there is probably someone with ulterior motives around us. How can we not be careful about the safety of this family? What's more..."
She pointed at the picked leaves, "My grandmother specially found these for me from the escort agency, Xiaopan. I don't remember anything related to martial arts on her resume."
Aunt Pei looked at Qiao Yuyan mockingly, "Young lady, it's better not to say anything right now! The person that the third girl is most suspicious of right now is you."
Qiao Yurong looked at the woman sent by the old lady, "You haven't checked yet, do you mean you don't understand?"
Aunt Pei could only grit her teeth bitterly as she watched Xiaopan being taken into the ear room.
Not long after, Huancui and the woman came out and nodded to Mrs. Xu and Qiao Yuyan.
The mother-in-law reported to the old lady loudly, "This small-cap girl does not have one arm thick and one arm thin, but her two arms are much thicker, and there are signs of the girl who just picked up leaves on both wrists."
Talk about cocoon."
It turns out that you can do things with both hands.
Even though she was seen through, Xiaopan still looked timid, barely raising her head to look at anyone, and shrank back behind Aunt Pei.
The old lady's eyes fell on Pei Yayi, "Is it time for you to explain it carefully?"
"Our family didn't say that the maids are not allowed to practice some self-defense skills, right? What's more, this is not the maid I want to come. The eldest girl sent me here. Now that she has something wrong, should I be blamed?
Isn’t it on your head?”
Mrs. Xu looked at Aunt Pei with strange eyes. This was the first time she saw Pei Yayi showing such sharpness. It was really far from the person in her memory.
Qiao Yurong smiled when she heard this, and turned to look at Qiao Yuyan, "Sister, why did you put so much effort into arranging such a maid to be with Aunt Pei? When did you know that this maid has some skills?
Is it possible..."
Before she could finish her words, Aunt Pei immediately took it and said, "Yes! Miss, you arranged this. What on earth do you want to do by arranging such a maid with a weapon to be by my side? I have never harmed you, Er.
Madam, we have a bit of a feud with you, but I have always respected you so much, and I never dare to disobey you, big lady!"
This actually meant that Qiao Yuyan wanted to get rid of Pei Yayi just like he got rid of Yao! Not only did he completely push away Xiaopan's anomaly, but he also brought back Yao's death.
