Chapter 249 White radish solves the case!
Huamei just told a lie, but she ended up being kicked out of the house, and her family members were also sold. It seemed that the punishment was a bit harsh, but Cen Xiyan didn't sympathize with her at all. He said: God
You can still violate the law if you commit evil, but you can't live if you do it yourself! There is something inherently wrong with people who please their masters and frame others for their own benefit. Today they just did a small bad thing that is not too big. If they are not punished, there will be
If you take chances, you might do something in the future.
Cen Xiyan saw that Mrs. Cen's face was looking good at this moment, and her previous anger had disappeared. He straightened his expression and said again: "Grandma, Huamei lied. Jingshuang never scolded Bamei for what she said."
Well, then, do you need to call the other servants of Bamei who are present today and ask again?"
Hearing Cen Xiyan's proposal, Cen Xifen's maids and women in the outer room couldn't help but turn pale, and some of them could not help but tremble.
They all heard clearly what happened inside. What happened to Huamei really frightened them. Go in and continue to describe the situation at that time? To be honest, Miss Eight will definitely not treat them well in the future.
If you eat the fruit, should you lie like Huamei? If the lie is exposed, the fate of Huamei will be their fate!
While the maids and women outside were anxious and uneasy, fearing that they would be called, Cen Xifen did not wait for Cen Lai to speak, and suddenly spoke, cutting off Cen Xiyan's words!
"Hmph! Even if your maid didn't say anything unpleasant to me, it's true that she bumped into me!" Cen Xifen's attitude suddenly hardened, and she was just subconsciously covering up her guilt. She didn't dare to let her slaves do it again.
I came here and made up lies. It would be terrible if I was caught with something again.
Cen Xiyan glanced at Cen Xifen, with such a faint look, but it made Cen Xifen feel frightened. She couldn't help but wonder, did she say the wrong thing again?
Cen Xiyan looked at Jingshuang and asked, "Jingshuang, did you bump into Miss Eight?"
In Jingshuang's previous statement, she had already said that she had not bumped into Cen Xifen. Cen Xiyan deliberately asked again in order to deepen the impression on everyone and to exaggerate the atmosphere.
Jingshuang shook her head and replied politely: "To answer the Sixth Miss, this slave did not bump into the Eighth Miss."
"You're talking nonsense! You've obviously bumped into me!" Cen Xifen couldn't help but change her words again and again. At this moment, she could only bite Jingshuang.
She thought that she had many witnesses, Jingshuang and Gingoguo, but they could not speak for so many of them. Although the truth was not the case, there was no need for those girls and the mother-in-law to describe and learn the words, she only had to nod and identify Jingshuang.
, this can’t go wrong, right?
Cen Xiyan did not look at Cen Xifen at all, but turned to Gingguo, who was cowering aside, and asked: "Gingguo, where is the basket of ingredients that you and Jingshuang went to the big kitchen to pick up today?"
"Back to Miss Sixth, the food baskets are all outside, at Sister Yingxue's place." Ging Guo replied in a low voice, but everyone in the room could hear her clearly.
Yingxue asked her to carry the two food baskets before coming to Furong Garden. Later, Yingxue no longer had to drag Mrs. He, so Yingxue took one of them. Just now she was called into the room, and there were two vegetable baskets.
They are all taken care of by Yingxue from outside.
Before, Ging Guo didn't understand why Yingxue insisted on bringing over the two food baskets. Now that Cen Xiyan asked, she couldn't help but think that it was Sister Yingxue who understood Miss Sixth. Although she still doesn't understand, taking those two baskets
What's the use of the food basket?
"Grandma, can you ask my maid Yingxue to bring in the two baskets of ingredients?" Cen Xiyan looked at Mrs. Cen and asked.
At this moment, not only Ging Guo was confused, but everyone in the room, including Mrs. Cen, was confused as to why Cen Xiyan asked someone to bring in a vegetable basket.
However, Mrs. Cen still nodded and agreed to Cen Xiyan's request, "Okay, let your maid bring in the vegetable basket."
Qiu Ju, the old lady's maid, turned around and went to the outside room, calling Yingxue in.
Yingxue came in with two vegetable baskets, placed the baskets on the ground, and politely bowed and said hello to all the owners of the house. Her behavior was just like that of a maid who had been trained by a high-ranking noble family since she was a child.
No different, she is humble, generous and decent, not like a rough girl who grew up in the countryside!
It was also the first time that Mrs. Cen noticed the big maid next to Cen Xiyan, and she couldn't help but nodded secretly. It seemed that the calmness of Jingshuang's girl was not accidental. Liu Yatou was really good at training servants.
, then thought of Huamei who had just been taken out, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart. It seems that she is old and has no energy to discipline her in the past few years. Some of the servants in the house are becoming more and more shabby!
"Jingshuang, Gingguo, these two vegetable baskets, which one did you each carry at that time?" Cen Xiyan asked.
Hearing Cen Xiyan's question, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on the two vegetable baskets. They saw that the two vegetable baskets were one large and one small, and the small basket contained fine items.
The ingredients were not much in quantity, but they were very valuable. The big basket actually contained a bunch of white radishes, which were piled high. If you were not able to hold them firmly, the radishes inside would spill out.
"Replying to Miss Sixth, Sister Jingshuang is considerate of my young age, so I asked you to take the small vegetable basket." Ginguo replied. When she spoke, her face turned slightly red, and she felt a little embarrassed. At the same time, she was grateful to Jingshuang.
kindness.
Jingshuang also replied: "To Miss Sixth, what I'm holding is the basket with the white radish in it."
Cen Xiqin couldn't help but interjected curiously: "Why did you take so many white radishes?"
This time it was Yingxue who answered, "To Miss Seven, this white radish is used to make sour radish. Our Sixth Miss likes that the most." After a pause, she continued: "Usually, these ingredients are
The slave went to the big kitchen to get it. Today, because the slave is boiling the soup for pickling pickled radish and has to keep an eye on the heat, Sister Jingshuang brought the ginkgo and went there for the slave."
Yingxue told the truth. She was very particular about the ingredients she used in her cooking. She didn't trust the ingredients chosen by others. Only Jingshuang, who had grown up with her since childhood, knew some of her habits, so she felt confident letting Jingshuang go.
Thinking that something like this happened today, she felt very guilty.
At this time, Cen Xiyan spoke again, "Grandma, look, what Jingshuang is holding is such a full basket of white radishes. If she really hits Bamei, wouldn't it mean that the radishes will be scattered all over the floor?"
As if she had found a weak point that could be attacked, Cen Xifen immediately answered loudly: "That's right! The carrot fell all over the floor at that time! There must be marks on the ground now!"
Cen Xiyan added: "When I rushed to the scene, the radish did fall on the ground, but the fact I saw was that Bamei's minions pushed Jingshuang, and the radish fell on the ground. Later,
We wanted to come to grandma to reason, so my girls picked up all the scattered radishes and brought them over."
"You're talking nonsense! It was obviously Jingshuang who hit me, and that's why the carrots fell all over the floor!"
"Really?" Cen Xiyan sneered, "Everyone has seen that there is a lot of soil on the surface of this white radish. If it hits Bamei, Bamei will definitely be stained with dirt, right? Bamei might as well let us see
