Princess Ruyi

Chapter 40 The Mysterious Scroll


Zheng Yingying walked out of the ancestral hall and threw the soft futon in Gao Rou's hands. Without knowing it, Gao Rou hugged the soft futon with both hands, screamed suddenly, and threw the soft futon in her hand like an electric shock.

Xiao Xianyu and Xiao Heng looked at Gao Rou's hand, which was actually covered with blood spots.They looked down at the soft futon that was thrown out by Gao Rou. The soft futon happened to be upside down, and they could see the needle tails of the embroidery needles exposed on the back side. There are many embroidery needles, and if someone kneels up without knowing it, he will definitely be stabbed by the embroidery needles.

Gao Rou also cried for a while before she stopped. A maid like her with rough skin and thick flesh would be so painful even if she was pricked by the needle lightly. , don't you want to die in pain?

However, just as Gao Rou finished the pain and was about to ask Zheng Yingying for forgiveness for her gaffe, suddenly her pupils opened and she fell down hard.

Everyone was startled, Zheng Yingying looked at Gaorou's palm, the blood spots that were bright red at first turned black now.

Zheng Yingying was startled, fortunately she didn't touch those needles just now, otherwise, she would be the one who fell to the ground and died now, Zheng Yingying glanced at Xiao Ruyi with lingering fear, Xiao Ruyi pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Come on, take Gao Rou to the master's study, you, go and pick up that soft futon, use it as a snack, pinch the cloth, don't touch the needles. And you, go to the third aunt, take the third aunt and the second Miss, please go to the master's study."

Zheng Yingying settled down and ordered, while Xiao Xianyu and Xiao Heng who were beside her were already frightened.This person who was still fine just now, why did he suddenly say that he died? The poison is too terrible. If it is true that they knelt on the soft futon, someone should come to collect the body right now, right?

Xiao Shan was dealing with the work assigned by the emperor earlier in the study, and when he was very busy, Zheng Yingying came with a large group of people. It was so noisy that Xiao Shan shouted impatiently: "Go back to the yard after paying respects. Stay, I haven't released your restraint yet."

Zheng Yingying hurriedly said: "Master, I don't want to disturb the master, but now something happened, I still want to ask the master to make a decision."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Yingying raised her chin, signaled the servants to carry Gao Rou's body in, and then threw the soft futon in front of Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan glanced at Gao Rou whose face was turning black, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Master, this concubine took Ruyi and Heng'er to the ancestral hall to offer incense to the ancestors. As soon as I got to the entrance of the ancestral hall, I saw Xiao Wanting sneaking out of the ancestral hall and ran away. I had doubts in my body and mind. After entering the ancestral hall, I asked Ruyi and Heng'er to stand still, and then I went to check the ancestral hall, and finally found the embroidery needles on the soft futon."

"After coming out, the concubine threw the soft futon to Gao Rou casually, thinking that Gao Rou's skin was rough and fleshy, and it would be okay to be pricked, but she didn't think that Gao Rou was also a stubborn person, so she hugged her with her big palm After touching this soft futon, her hands were pierced with small blood holes. But not long after, Gao Rou suddenly fell stiffly on the ground and was out of breath. This was obviously poisoned to death. poison."

After Zheng Yingying finished telling the story, she walked up to Xiao Shan and knelt down, "Master, tell me, if this concubine is not very careful, what will the result be? At that time, it will be the concubine who falls on the ground." , and Ruyi and Henger."

Xiao Shan was already overwhelmed by the events of the early court, and now such an event happened in the mansion again, which made him extremely irritable, "Where's Wanting?"

As soon as the words were finished, Song Ti and Xiao Wanting, mother and daughter who looked puzzled, rushed over.

When they saw Gao Rou's body, the two almost fainted from fright.

However, their screams made Xiao Shan even more irritable, "Wanting, did you go to the ancestral hall just now?"

Xiao Wanting looked blank, "No, what's the matter?"

When Xiao Xianyu thought that it was Xiao Wanting who poisoned the embroidery needles and hid them in the soft futon to kill them, the little flame in her heart rose slowly. She pointed at Xiao Wanting and said, "Hmph, don't pretend to be stupid!" , the witnesses and the evidence are all there, don't you have to quibble!"

"Princess, what are you talking about, I don't even know what happened, so I just quibble?"

Xiao Xianyu repeated the matter again and again to Xiao Wanting and Song Ti. After hearing it, Xiao Wanting immediately complained, saying that she just stayed in her yard and never went anywhere.

Zheng Yingying said: "So many embroidery needles are stuck in the soft futon. I think I have prepared a lot. If not all of them are used up, they will definitely be hidden. Master, you might as well ask someone to search Xiao Wanting's yard and find them. The remaining embroidery needles make her really give up. In order not to let them think that the concubine will take advantage of this to frame her, I hope the master will personally choose someone to search for."

As soon as Xiao Wanting heard that she was going to search her yard, she became anxious, and Song Ti panicked seeing Xiao Wanting's nervous appearance, thinking that Xiao Wanting was really so stupid to do these things, right?

Xiao Xianyu pointed at Xiao Wanting and said, "What's the matter, you panicked when you said you wanted to search the yard? Are you really a guilty conscience?"

Xiao Wanting retorted: "No, no, I just, just..."

"Just what, keep talking, hum, don't admit it yet, I will find evidence later to convince you."

Xiao Wanting kept twisting her hands in her cuffs, Xiao Ruyi frowned slightly looking at Xiao Wanting who was so nervous, she knew that Xiao Wanting was definitely not flustered because of this matter, it was not because of this matter, but because of something Woolen cloth?

Xiao Shan spoke, "Du Hong."

Butler Du Hong came in and said respectfully, "What's your order?"

Xiao Shan ordered: "Go, take a few people to Second Miss's yard to search carefully, and bring me any suspicious things you find."

"Yes, master." Du Hong turned and left.

Xiao Shan glanced at Gao Rou whose whole body was covered in black, "Why don't you drag her out and bury her, isn't it bad luck to throw her here?"

Zheng Yingying hurriedly had Gao Rou carried out again, and ordered her to take a sneak peek at Xiao Ruyi, Xiao Ruyi nodded indistinctly, and then Zheng Yingying looked away in peace, waiting for the results of Du Hong's search.

After half a stick of incense, Du Hong led the people back, and then put a package of things on Xiao Shan's desk, opened it, and it turned out to be some embroidery needles.

Xiao Wanting was startled, "How is it possible, no, I didn't, those must have been planted. Besides, these embroidery needles all look the same, how do you know that they are the same as those on the soft futon."

At this time Xiao Ruyi walked over, picked up the cloth bag without touching the embroidery needles, then walked to the round table, took out a teacup, shook the embroidery needles into the teacup, filled the teacup with tea, gently After shaking the teacup, she took off a silver hairpin from her head and put it into the teacup. When she took it out after a while, she saw that the tip of the silver hairpin had turned black.

Zheng Yingying snorted, "So, what else do you have to say?"

Xiao Wanting yelled, "No, it's not me. Someone must have framed me. Daddy, you have to trust your daughter. She really didn't want to harm Madam and the others! Daughter is fine, why do you want to do this? Aren't you asking for trouble for yourself?"

Song Ti also cried and begged: "Yes, master, Wanting has always been well-behaved and sensible, how could she do such a reckless thing?"

At this moment, Du Hong stood up again, and said with some hesitation: "Master, I found something in Second Miss's room, wondering if this could be Second Miss' motive for murdering Madam and the others."

Everyone looked at Du Hong, especially Xiao Wanting. When she heard Du Hong's words, she immediately forgot to call for grievances.

I saw that Du Hong was still holding a scroll the size of a calligraphy and painting in his hand. He walked over and slowly spread the scroll in his hand on the desk. When the scroll was spread out, everyone was surprised, especially Xiao Xiao. Xianyu, she immediately blew up, you know, she would never allow any woman to dare to have Su Tu's idea.

The portrait painted on this scroll is not who Su Tu is, but Xiao Wanting probably drew it by herself. The painting skills are not bad, but it only depicts Su Tu's handsome appearance, but not Su Tu's charm.

Xiao Xianyu walked over and slapped Xiao Wanting twice, Xiao Ruyi felt pain even watching it, this Xiao Xianyu hit really hard, presumably Xiao Xianyu's own hands are numb right now.

"You bitch, you have the same moral character as Xiao Shuhui, and you dare to covet the fiancé of the princess. Is the sixth prince something you lowly concubines can miss? You don't want to take a pee to see what your own virtue is, sixth prince Is the posture like a fairy something you people can climb up to?"

"Ruyi!" Xiao Shan scolded, although Xiao Wanting's sneaky painting of Su Tu's portrait is really embarrassing, but Xiao Xianyu insulted Xiao Wanting like this, and even scolded Xiao Shuhui who had already been sold. Who are Xiao Wanting and Xiao Shuhui? His daughter belonged to Xiao Shan. It was his fault for not being a godfather. Isn't Xiao Xianyu scolding him in disguise?

Zheng Yingying also hurried over to pull Xiao Xianyu back, and glared at her. This Xiao Xianyu never spoke out of his head, which made Xiao Shan angry.

Xiao Ruyi also looked at Xiao Xianyu shaking her head, and even felt some sympathy for Xiao Shan. It was really difficult for him to spoil such a brainless daughter for so many years.

However, Xiao Ruyi really didn't expect that things had progressed beyond her expectations. It was really even the heavens helping her and helping him deal with these sluts.Regardless of Xiao Wanting's obedient appearance on the surface, Xiao Ruyi will never forget that when she was a child in the Zhuangzi, Xiao Shuhui poured water from the stinky ditch on her head, and Xiao Wanting pretended to find clean clothes for her. When she replaced it, she thought at the time that at least there was a kind-hearted person in Xiao's mansion, but she didn't think that Xiao Wanting just wanted her to embarrass her, or even kill her!
