Before dawn, there was a panicked noise outside.Qingwen was always alert, and smelled something wrong, so she got up immediately, put on a jacket in a hurry, opened a crack in the window, and looked out.

"What happened?" Xiren was also woken up and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"It's so late at night, and the corner door is actually opened. Whether it's alarming the old lady or inviting the doctor, it's not a trivial matter." Qingwen frowned, and quickly put on her skirt and jacket, "If it's an old lady, it's fine, if something happens It's Baoyu..."

"I'm afraid you and I won't be able to fall." Xiren and Qingwen looked at each other with some solemnity between their brows.

"I'll go too. If something happens, I'll take care of you." Xiren touched his forehead, the fever had subsided, and he started to make arrangements.

Qingwen opened her mouth, but there was no objection after all.If something really happened to Baoyu, even if Mrs. Jia Muwang didn't think of attacking people, Nanny Li would definitely put the blame on the attackers.It's better to be able to refute one or two in person in the presence of Xiren, than to be held in the shit basin behind the back.

As soon as the two of them went out, they saw the mandarin ducks beside Jiamu, leading a group of maidservants towards them.

Although Xiren didn't know anyone, but seeing the posture of leading the crowd, he knew that the identity of the visitor was definitely not low.

Qingwen on the side naturally knew that the mandarin duck was a popular person around Jiamu, and instead of following carefully by Jiamu's side to serve her, this mandarin duck came to the back room where the servant lived in a big way, fearing that the visitor would be unkind.

"Sister Yuanyang, why are you here?" Qingwen smiled and greeted her.

"The old lady asked you and Xiren to come to the room for questioning." Yuanyang has an oval face, a high nose, and a few freckles on her cheeks. She has a gentle face and smiles softly, "Since you two have already Pack it up, let's come together, don't make the old lady wait too long."

"I dare not trouble the old lady to wait for a long time." Xiren replied respectfully.

The three of them talked and laughed at Yanyan, as if they didn't see the tall and thick woman behind Yuanyang at all, as if Yuanyang really kindly invited Xiren and Qingwen to go to the room instead of escorting her.

The main room is illuminated by a bright light candle, reflecting the whole courtyard as if it were daytime.

Yuanyang entered the room first, and after a while, a little girl who only had her hair back opened the curtain, "The old lady called the two older sisters to come in."

Xiren and Qingwen entered the room with their heads down. Just as they knelt down, a teacup fell to Xiren's feet with a "snap". The tile flew past her hand, leaving a thin trail of blood.

Jia Mu's hair was snow-white, and she was not angry but powerful, "Xi Ren, I thought you were a prudent person, so I asked you to serve Baoyu. But after a few days, you also know how to lie!"

"Old lady Mingjian, since I arrived in Baoyu's room, I dare not say that I have devoted myself to death, but I am also careful in serving, and I dare not slack off for a day." , I dare not attack people!"

Mother Jia's expression relaxed slightly.

Xiren was originally a maid sent by Jia's mother to Baoyu. Today Xiren made a mistake, and Jia's mother was the first to hit her in the face.Just now it was Jia's mother who saw that Baoyu was seriously ill and heard Li Nanny's instigation. She was so angry that she called for attackers in a series of voices.

Later, when Mrs. Wang heard the news that Baoyu was ill, she also came to the upper room, and Jia's mother calmed down.Although this daughter-in-law is kind and filial, she has always been dissatisfied with Baoyu being left by Jiamu's side. If Baoyu's illness is caused by the attack given by Jiamu, Mrs. Wang will definitely take Baoyu back to her.

Mother Jia raised her eyelids, and turned her gaze from Mrs. Wang back to Xi Ren.

It would be best if Xiren was wronged, but if not, he would have to kill this slave in order to shut Wang's mouth!

Nanny Li standing behind Mrs. Wang was a little anxious, seeing that the charge of assault was about to be confirmed, but when the attacker came, she only expressed a few words of loyalty, and Mother Jia's demeanor was visibly shaken...

"Xi Ren, the old lady relies on you, how do you repay the old lady!" Li Nanny raised her eyebrows and scolded, "If you were not seriously ill but stayed in the mansion to recuperate, how could Baoyu have survived the cold by you! "

"Baoyu is sick?" Xiren was startled, and immediately understood why the third court interrogation office came, "Baoyu is doing well now, can you invite a doctor?"

"Stop crying and pretending to be merciful, wait for you to worry, the day lily will be cold!" Nanny Li stabbed sharply.

The mandarin duck sits on the footrest in front of Jiamu, holding a beauty beater, and gently beats her leg for Jiamu.Seeing that Nanny Li's words became more and more vulgar, Yuanyang said softly, "I just passed Baoyu's room, and I heard from Hupo that Baoyu just took the medicine and fell asleep, and the high fever has mostly subsided."

Hearing Yuanyang's words, Xiren felt a little relieved, but there were so many people around, it was hard for her to express her gratitude clearly.

"Is Baoyu really healed? Amitabha, it can be seen that it is the blessing of the Bodhisattva!" Jia Mu couldn't help clasping her hands together and chanting Buddha repeatedly.Even Mrs. Wang, who had been sitting down and counting the beads, showed a hint of a smile.

"Fortunately, Baoyu is blessed by a Bodhisattva. Even if there are villains causing trouble, it will not be able to resist Baoyu's prosperity." Li Nanny saw that the room was full of joy, fearing that the attacker would be let go lightly, she hurriedly put on eye drops.

The joy on Jiamu's face faded, "Xiren, do you have something to say?"

Xiren could clearly see that the unkindness on Mother Jia's face was more aimed at Nanny Li who interrupted without permission.She calmed down, "Old Madam, let me tell you, since Nanny Li sued me for giving Baoyu my illness, can you allow me to confront Madam Li?"

Mother Jia waved her hand, "Sure."

From the conversation just now, it is not difficult for Xiren to guess that the person who made things difficult for her repeatedly was Baoyu's nanny, Nanny Li.

Nanny Li has been standing behind Mrs. Wang, clearly showing her identity.Yuanyang, as the first-class celebrity around Jiamu, was able to show affection to Xiren, who was still wearing a sinful body, in front of so many people just now, presumably because Xiren came from Jiamu's subordinates.

Xi Xin felt at ease, "Since the first day I was sick, I left the main courtyard and retreated to the back room where the servants live in the back courtyard to recuperate. It has been three days since I recuperated, and I have never been to the front courtyard once. Dare to ask Mother Li, how did this disease spread to Baoyu?"

"You didn't come to Baoyu's side, but Qingwen served Baoyu in the upper room during the day, and slept with you on the same kang when she returned to the room at night." Li Nanny was well prepared and triumphant, "Obviously Qingwen infected your The sickness has passed on to Baoyu."

"Sheyue Qiuwen also lives with me, so how can you be sure it's Qingwen?" Xiren asked.

"The two of them are quite sensible. They have been guarding the main courtyard during the day and guarding Baoyu at night." Madam Li gave Qingwen a hard look, "Who would dare to go into your room except Qingwen!"

"I also said that I have been sick for the past two days and no one has visited me. The mansion is busy and no one has time." Xiren signaled Qingwen to be safe and not to be impatient with her eyes. Knowing it well, I restrained my servants early in the morning."

"Ji Qingwen is restless. If it wasn't for her, how could Baoyu..." Li Nanny sighed, wiping the corners of her eyes pretendingly.

"Nurse knew the hidden danger early, but she always let Qingwen ignore it. She only revealed the matter when Baoyu fell ill..." Xiren raised his head, "Of course Qingwen and I couldn't get along well, but Baoyu fell ill for nothing. What's the intention behind this nanny's move?"

Everyone's expressions changed, and even Mrs. Wang, who had been secretly protecting Nanny Li, had an unfriendly look in her eyes.

Qingwen was a smart person, so she immediately followed Xiren's words and said, "Nurse is in charge of the big and small affairs in Baoyu's room. Since she feels that the two of us can't get on the stage, she just returns us to the original place. Why use Baoyu as a cutie? Set up a bureau to question the crime?"

Seeing that Mrs. Wang's expression became more and more unkind, Nanny Li's face turned pale, and beads of sweat dripped from the corners of her forehead.

"Mr. Li?" Mrs. Wang held the Buddhist beads and looked at Nanny Li coldly.

"Ma'am, I don't dare to have such vicious thoughts!" Nanny Li shuddered and knelt on the ground.

The sewage actually hit her back, even if Nanny Li didn't want to be reconciled, she didn't dare to scratch and bite.Mrs. Wang is her biggest backer. If Mrs. Wang believes that she allowed Baoyu to get sick just to take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, then what will happen to her...

Although it was unseemly to slap himself, it was better to lose the trust of the master.

Nanny Li weighed it over and over again, and finally made up her mind.She slapped her thigh and acted like she had suddenly realized, "Look at my memory! I just remembered that Xiren's disease is not just human."

"So, the source of Baoyu's illness is not me?" Xiren smiled.

"Baoyu's illness really has nothing to do with the girl." Nanny Li swallowed her anger, and said in a low voice, "Earlier, Baoyu invited Dr. Li to see Xiren. I wronged you..."

"Nurse is busy all day, sometimes she forgets for a while," Xi Ren said softly, extraordinarily generous.

Qingwen had long thought that Nanny Li was not pleasing to her eyes. Seeing that this old man was caught and made a big mistake, even Mrs. Wang couldn't protect her, and she pretended to be virtuous and generous.As soon as Qingwen was in a hurry, she was about to open her mouth to confirm Li Nanny's crime.

Xiren's face became serious, "Although my suspicion has been cleared away, Baoyu's illness did not come out of nowhere."

Everyone froze.

Mammy Li's scheming and elimination of dissidents is really nothing in the eyes of Mrs. Jia Muwang. The important thing is Baoyu, the phoenix egg.

Last night, Baoyu had dinner at Mrs. Jia's, and then went to Mrs. Wang's to accompany her to relieve boredom for a while, and was always alive and kicking.After only a few hours of work, Baoyu's face was flushed with burns, and he was even full of babbling, rolling all over the kang...

The maid who was serving close to her could not escape the blame, but just now, Madam Li kept putting the feces bowl on Qingwen's head, which may have been an attempt to divert trouble.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiren finished speaking, Mammy Li froze, and the collar around the back of her neck was slowly drenched with sweat.

Xiren's heart moved, seeing Li Nanny's situation, it seemed that it was not just a crime of neglect.She deliberated quickly in her heart, and tentatively said, "Baoyu's illness is strange, I wonder if something unclean was put in Baoyu's room?"

Jia Mu knocked on the kang table and pondered for a while, "Yuanyang, take someone to take a closer look."

As soon as the words fell, Nanny Li collapsed to the ground.Jia Mu immediately saw that something was wrong, and shouted sharply, "Mr. Li, how dare you murder Baoyu!"
