Chapter 228 Lin Mansion 23
Chapter 228 Lin Mansion 23
Qiu Ye was born in a peasant family. She was used to seeing the quarrels among the village women since she was a child, so she was very good at quarreling. She could scold the other party until her face turned red and she would stomp her feet and start a fight.
Soon the two maids started fighting each other. You pinched my face and I pulled your hair, without any mercy.
"Alright! What's the point of making so much noise?"
Mother Zhai yelled in annoyance, secretly wondering what sin she had committed to encounter such a thing.
Then Qiu Ye and the others were so drunk at the moment that they could not hear Mother Zhai's voice.
"Let go!"
The maid's scalp was pulled so painfully that she couldn't help but speak first.
Qiu Ye snorted coldly: "Let go first!"
Whoever lets go first loses. Since they can quarrel, they are not the type to admit defeat.
So with a roar, the two continued to wrestle with each other.
Mother Zhai was so embarrassed at this time. None of the two maids listened to her. Why was she still in charge? Let them do it!
Yun Chu saw the change in Zhai's mother's expression and rushed to Qiu Ye to separate them.
It's said to be a fight, but in fact it's biased.
Yun Chu grabbed the maid's hand to prevent her from moving, and advised: "Stop arguing, stop arguing, it's not good for people to fight with each other!"
The maid was caught by Yun Chu and couldn't move her hands. She suffered several setbacks.
Qiu Ye's attacks were particularly ruthless but also had a hint of rationality. She would not hit obvious places like the face, but would focus on more private places like the chest.
Yun Chu was not stupid. If she kept holding the maid's hand, her intention would be too obvious. She would let go every time Qiu Ye hit her twice, pretending that the other party was too strong and she couldn't hold him back.
Mother Zhai couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she quickly asked the maids nearby to pull the two people apart, thus ending the farce.
in the room,
Qiu Ye sat at the table rubbing her red face, cursing the other party in her heart for being so harsh. Her cheeks were sore and painful, and she would definitely have trouble speaking tomorrow.
The maid looked even worse than Qiu Ye, with messy hair and even a small bald spot. At this moment, she was holding her short hair and crying sadly.
Mother Zhai was upset when she saw this and scolded her angrily: "Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry! You've ruined all your blessings by crying!"
The maid was stunned and raised her head in disbelief: "Mom, it was Qiu Ye who scolded me first. Now that I have a piece of hair missing, how can I face people in the future?"
Qiu Ye stood up from the stool with a bang: "What's wrong with me scolding you? You're stupid and foolish, so why should I scold you?"
"All right! Whoever makes another noise, get out of the kitchen and empty the chamber pot!"
Mother Zhai's nerves in her temples were throbbing. What kind of trouble was this?
Even housekeeper Lin said that their manager was idle all day long. How could she be idle? These trivial matters alone were enough for her to take care of.
Seeing that Mother Zhai was really angry, Qiu Ye glared at the maid, curled her lips and sat down again.
Seeing that the maid was not convinced, Mother Zhai took a deep breath and said, "You were wrong in this matter. If you suspect someone else, you need to produce evidence. Qiu Ye is right. Although Yun Chu came back early, she had no reason to destroy Qian Xing's clothes.
You said the murderer might be Yunchu, do you have any evidence? Besides the fact that Yunchu came back early, do you have any other suspicions?"
Seeing the maid hesitating and unable to speak, Qiu Ye sneered: "She doesn't doubt Yun Chu at all. She is jealous so she deliberately talks nonsense. If Yun Chu gets into trouble, she will probably be very happy."
As if she had been told, the maid immediately denied it: "How could I be jealous? What is there for me to be jealous of her?"
Although he denied it, his expression showed that he was very guilty.
"That's the end of your relationship."
After saying that, Mother Zhai turned to look at Qian Xing who was standing aside: "Think carefully about whether you have had any conflicts with anyone recently?"
Qian Xing thought hard and finally shook her head. She had always been honest and gentle and had never offended anyone.
Just then, a weak voice sounded: "Mom, I may know who it is."
Mother Zhai saw that it was Xiaoqing, who was in charge of making cakes on weekdays.
"What do you know? Tell me clearly."
Xiao Qing timidly walked from the back to Zhai's mother and said, "I accidentally got my shoes wet while cleaning the kitchen this afternoon. I was thinking of going back to my room to change shoes, and I saw Shui Lian walk into the room and close the door.
I thought she might not be in a good mood today, so I didn't dare to go into the room for fear that she would get upset with me. I had no choice but to continue wearing my wet shoes.
After hearing Xiaoqing's words, everyone suddenly realized that they had actually forgotten about Shuilian.
In terms of the time of returning to the room, Shui Lian returned earlier than Yun Chu.
In terms of motives, Shui Lian, who was scolded today, might have deliberately damaged Qian Xing's clothes to vent her anger.
But finding the murderer is not just a matter of guessing, there must be evidence.
"By the way, where's Shui Lian? I haven't seen her for such a long time?"
Qiu Ye's words made everyone realize that Shui Lian was not here. Where could she go so late at night?
Just then, a sweet fragrance came from outside the door. Everyone looked outside and saw Shui Lian walking towards them with a plate with small bowls on it.
"Shui Lian? What are you doing?"
Mother Zhai frowned and asked, what is going on so late at night?
Shui Lian smiled faintly: "This is the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup I made for everyone. I was wrong about what happened during the day, especially Yun Chu..."
As she spoke, she looked at Yun Chu, picked up a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup and handed it to Yun Chu: "I didn't think clearly before I spoke and acted. Now I know what I did, please forgive me."
Yun Chu looked at the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup in front of him, then looked at Shui Lian, and then looked at Mother Zhai.
Did Shui Lian get stimulated and her brain became abnormal?
Mother Zhai took the small bowl and put it back on the table, then looked Shui Lian in the eye: "Let's talk about the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup later. I have something to ask you now."
"Mom, please go ahead." Shui Lian smiled slightly, as if she was not afraid of the next question.
"Did you know that Qian Xing's clothes were cut?"
Mother Zhai spoke in a calm tone, without any intention of pressing the issue.
Shui Lian frowned: "Shui Lian's clothes were cut? I really don't know about this. Did someone sneak into our room?"
Mother Zhai stared at Shuilian's face for a while and then asked, "Someone saw you return to your room in the afternoon and close the door in broad daylight. What were you doing in the room at that time?"
Shui Lian thought about it and said, "I was shy at that time and didn't want others to see me crying, so I closed the door."
At the same time, she was a little puzzled. She clearly looked clearly when she closed the door and was sure that there was no one there. How come someone said that they saw her closing the door at this time?
"We were all working at the time. Who would have the time to watch you cry? Even if you lifted the roof off the house, no one would look at you!"
A maid who was on good terms with Qian Xing couldn't help but complain,
As a maid too, Shui Lian is too self-righteous and really thinks that others like to laugh at her.
