Su Qingyu got dressed and walked to Ziweiyuan. According to her instructions yesterday, Ziweiyuan's servants packed the things they were going to take to the hot spring village overnight.
Four carriages had already stopped at the door. The first one was for Lin's mother and daughter. It was covered with thick woolen mats and the heater was already lit.
Su Qingyu wanted to see if the mat was thick enough. Going out in the cold winter and getting cold was no joke.
As soon as she opened the car curtain, her eyebrows knitted tightly together.
This taste...
"Bai Lu, change to a carriage. There is no need to send this car back. Just follow." Su Qingyu's voice was a little cold.
After sending Mrs. Lin to a hot spring village on the outskirts of Beijing, Su Qingyu came back without stopping for a moment.
After returning home, she asked the coachman named Erxi to be called to the side hall.
Erxi drove the empty car to the outskirts of Beijing, and then drove the empty car back again. She was already feeling anxious.
As soon as he entered the side hall, he knelt on the ground and said, "See Miss."
Su Qingyu hummed, sat on the main seat and looked at him coldly. The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy has dark skin and shows his white teeth when he speaks. You can tell by his eyes that he is an honest boy.
"Do you know why I called you here?"
"I don't know, please make it clear to the eldest lady." The end of Er Xi's words sounded panicked, and the palms of his hands that were pressed against the blue bricks trembled slightly.
Su Qingyu snorted and asked, "Who put the wool mat in the carriage?"
The wool mat was fumigated with musk. It took more than half an hour to travel from the Su family to the imperial farm outside the capital. The air in the closed carriage was not ventilated. With such a heavy musk, the mother might have had a miscarriage.
In her previous life, Su Qingyu had been studying pharmacology because of Shen Zhao's "inaction". The musk in the carriage was obviously top-notch stuff, and its medicinal effect was not ordinary.
Gu Ruoyun was really willing to spend a lot of money. She now increasingly suspected that Gu Ruoyun caused her mother to give birth prematurely in her previous life.
When Erxi heard the word wool mat, he couldn't stop shaking.
"Little... Miss, I realize that I have made a mistake, please punish me."
Su Qingyu reached out and patted the nanmu table, and scolded sternly: "Speak."
Erxi told the truth intermittently.
It turns out that Yuetao, who was serving Gu Ruoyun, was Erxi's cousin and his unmarried daughter-in-law.
Last night, Yuetao took the wool mat and musk to Erxi's house, and the two of them stayed up until midnight.
Erxi felt that doing so was tantamount to murdering his master, but Yuetao said that when the time came for his wife to have a miscarriage, no one would bother to investigate the matter, and the wool mat would just be thrown away without anyone noticing.
Yuetao also gave Erxi 10 taels of silver. With these 10 taels of silver, Erxi could marry Yuetao in all glory.
The matter was similar to what Su Qingyu thought. She asked Pearl beside her in a low voice, "Go and check, where is the contract between him and Yuetao?"
Pearl nodded and went down to inquire.
After a cup of tea, Pearl quickly came back, "Miss, please clarify. Yuetao's deed of betrayal is in the hands of my cousin, and all the servants of Shaohua Hall have their deeds."
"As for this Erxi, he didn't come in by selling himself."
Just as Su Qingyu expected, the deeds of sale of the maids in each courtyard of the Su family's inner house were all with the masters of each courtyard.
She whispered a few more instructions to Pearl, who nodded and went out.
Su Qingyu picked up the celadon-glazed white porcelain tea cup, took a few sips, and said, "Do you know what the crime of murdering the mistress is? As soon as this evidence and your testimony are sent to the Ministry of Punishment today, you will have no way to survive. "
Erxi was already scared. He had never done anything bad. He smoked the wool mat last night and couldn't sleep the whole night.
When Su Qingyu said this, she became even more frightened. She lost her life for only ten taels of silver.
"Miss, I don't dare to do this anymore. Please forgive me, miss."
Erxi didn't know what else to do except begging for mercy, because his forehead was already bruised from kowtows so hard.
Su Qingyu was sitting at the table drinking tea without saying a word. The more she said nothing, the more panicked Er Xi became.
Su Qingyu didn't put down the teacup until Zhenzhu and Yuetao came in.
Yuetao was originally surprised that the eldest lady came to find her secretly. But when he saw Er Xi when he entered the door, he looked panicked.
She knelt beside Erxi and looked at his red and swollen forehead, which was already covered with blood. "Cousin, what happened?"
Su Qingyu snorted, "You asked him what happened? You caused him misery."
Yuetao can become a first-class maid in the Hou Mansion, so she naturally knows everything. When she saw this scene, she knew that things had failed.
She did not shirk responsibility and said directly to Su Qingyu: "Miss, I did this. It has nothing to do with my cousin. Please let him go."
Erxi heard what Yuetao said and quickly said, "Miss, I can handle this matter. Please let Yuetao go."
Su Qingyu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, but she didn't expect that she was still facing her lover. If you have feelings, this matter will be easier to handle.
She looked at Yuetao, "Why did you do that."
Yue Tao said without thinking, "Once I offended Madam and was punished by her. I have been holding a grudge against her ever since."
She made it clear that she wanted to take charge of this matter by herself and didn't want to get involved with Gu Ruoyun.
Su Qingyu also understood that after all, the contract of betrayal was with Gu Ruoyun. If Gu Ruoyun was really shaken out, she would not suffer the consequences. It's better to take over the matter, Gu Ruoyun can still make up for her family.
"Yue Tao, if you answer like this, then I will have no choice but to send you two to the Criminal Department."
"As for whether there is a mastermind behind the scenes, it depends on the ability of the criminal department official."
"But do you think you two can survive?"
"What a pitiful mandarin duck, I don't know if it's worth it to sacrifice my life for others like this."
Yuetao knelt on the ground and bit her lower lip, her face bloodless.
Until Su Qingyu spoke again, "Zhenzhu, go to the Ministry of Justice to report to the police and say..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard Yuetao say: "I said, Miss, I said it all. My cousin asked me to do this, and my cousin also gave me the Musk."
Su Qingyu pondered for a moment and said to Erxi: "You can let me spare you. Just sign a deed of betrayal and I will give you twenty taels of silver."
Hearing this, Pearl said, "Miss, he made a big mistake. You gave him so much silver. Twenty taels of silver can buy several little girls."
Su Qingyu waved her hand to stop Pearl's words, and continued: "I want you two to be used by me, and I will also find a way to get Yuetao's contract. You have two choices now, either listen to me in the future, or go to the Ministry of Punishment , choose for yourself.”
"After five years, I will set you free and give you a sum of money to buy land in your hometown."
