No one would believe that Baoyu's illness had nothing to do with her with such a guilty conscience.

The Buddha beads in Mrs. Wang's hand were tightly grasped, and she looked at Nanny Li with sharp eyes like a poisoned knife.

On the one hand, she hated Nanny Li for being so bold that she dared to murder Baoyu; on the other hand, she hated the old man for being so stupid that he didn't know how to clean his hands when he did bad things, which made her ashamed in front of Mother Jia.

"Mr. Li, how did Baoyu get sick?" Mrs. Wang shouted sharply.

"I, I..." Nanny Li's lips were trembling, she couldn't speak for a long time, she could only kowtow heavily, and after a while, a purple swelling appeared on her forehead.

Mother Jia watched with cold eyes Mrs. Wang scolding Nanny Li, leaning on the kang table, waiting for Yuanyang to come back.

Yuanyang's movements were quick, before the results of the interrogation in the hall came out, Yuanyang had already quietly returned to the main hall.Mother Jia leaned back and asked, "What did you find?"

"I found some things from the side rooms where the nuns kept watch at night." Yuanyang raised her hand, and a young girl with a haircut came in with a round tray in her hand and lowered her eyebrows.

A gourd-shaped wine bottle and several wine glasses are placed on an exquisite wooden tray.

"The source of this kind of wine is not from the mansion, it is probably prepared by the nuns themselves. However, there is only one bottom of such a large bottle of wine..." Yuanyang took off the cork of the wine bottle, and a smell of crude and inferior wine The smell came out, "It seems that the nuns have a lot of alcohol."

"Drinking during the night watch, Mrs. Li, this is your rule!" Mother Jia slapped the table and cursed.

"I was fooled by the lard, and I used my status to gather a crowd to drink during the night watch. Please punish the old lady." Li Nanny trembling her lips, repeatedly kowtowed to plead guilty.

"Only this fault?" Yuanyang sneered, and turned her head to look at Li Nanny who kowtowed to apologize, "Did Mammy accidentally spill wine on the clothes that Baoyu replaced yesterday?"

"No, I just..." Nanny Li looked up in panic.

"How dare you encourage Baoyu to drink?" Jia Mu said in disbelief.

Baoyu is still young now, except at the family banquet, he can only drink a glass or two with the consent of Mrs. Jia Muwang. He is not allowed to drink alcohol on weekdays, for fear that his temperament will be changed at a young age.

Nanny Li is the nanny Mrs. Wang specially found, so she naturally knows the rules, but now she knowingly breaks the law...

However, Baoyu has taken medicine now and has fallen asleep.

The maids and mother-in-law in Baoyu's room were frightened by Madam Li's usual prestige, so naturally they dared not sing against her.If Mother Li claimed that it was Baoyu who stole a few sips of wine while she was not paying attention, and she covered up the matter, although she was responsible for dereliction of duty, it would not hurt her.

Xiren's thoughts changed sharply, now that she had broken up with Li Nanny, afterward, Li Nanny found someone to vent her anger on, and the one who bears the brunt must be Xi Ren who bit her back because Li Nanny couldn't put the blame on her.

"Although this kind of bad wine is cheap, it smells very strong, and it's not easy to get rid of it in a while." Xiren raised his head and looked at Jia Mu who was sitting in the seat. Smell of alcohol?"

"No." Mother Jia recalled and shook her head.

"Mother Li is always considerate, so the little maid must have specially lit incense to dispel the smell of wine?" Xi Ren glanced at Mother Li.

"This..." Nanny Li didn't react, she was a little puzzled.

"The censer is full of soothing incense." Yuanyang smiled appreciatively, and then said seriously, "The old lady also knows that the scent of soothing incense has always been light, and it definitely has no effect of dispelling odors."

All the people here are smart people, Yuanyang ruled out this possibility, then what Li Nanny did is already clearly revealed.

Mrs. Wang looked at Nanny Li, "Mrs. Li, how did you get rid of the smell of alcohol?"

Nanny Li trembled, she didn't dare to offend the popular mandarin duck in front of Mother Jia, so she could only give Xiren a hard look.

Mother Jia was sitting in a high position, so Mammy Li's small gestures were naturally noticed.Now that the evidence is all there, Nanny Li is still so rampant in the interrogation...Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang darkly, how could an old slave be so arrogant if she hadn't had someone to back her up!

"Such a clumsy old man, I don't think he can think of any clever way. The supply of silver frost charcoal in Baoyu's house is sufficient, and Baoyu didn't leave the house in the middle of the night, but Baoyu got a cold for no reason." Jia Mu looked away indifferently, "Both Combined, there is only one answer."

"Ms. Li opened the window in the middle of the night to disperse the smell of wine, but it caused Baoyu's cold air to enter her body, and she got a cold." Jia's mother said coldly, "The Jia family can't keep such a bold servant!"

"Old lady, this Mrs. Li..." Mrs. Wang straightened up and stopped her with a voice.

"That's right, Mrs. Li is your companion. Even if you dispose of it, I can't let you do it for me." Jia Mu sneered and looked at Mrs. Wang.

Nanny Li is certainly not good, but if she follows Mother Jia's wishes, Mrs. Wang can't even protect her own people, so where will the face of the head wife be put?

But Mother Jia's move was to retreat. Although Mrs. Wang had the right to dispose of Nanny Li, she could no longer protect her blatantly.After all, Nanny Li's mistakes were not small. If Mrs. Wang was unfair, how would she be able to convince the public in the future?

Originally, Madam Li, as Madam Wang's mother-in-law arranged by Baoyu's side, was not well received by Mother Jia, but now she made a big mistake and was caught by Mother Jia...

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth, this move is doomed!

"Ms. Li didn't obey the rules, cheated her superiors, made trouble against her master..." Mrs. Wang lowered her eyes, counted out a lot of crimes in a calm voice, and finally executed her, "Come here, give her twenty sticks and drive her out." Go out of the house."

"Madam, please forgive me, please forgive me..." Nanny Li repeatedly begged for mercy.

Although Mrs. Wang has always treated people with kindness and kindness, she is really angry now.Since Huairou's image of being under the protection of Huairou could not be maintained, he might as well use a ruthless hand to deter those people who are at the opposite end of the spectrum.

So, Mrs. Wang rolled up her sleeves, lowered her eyes and quietly fiddled with the beads.

Seeing that even Mrs. Wang, who was the only one who could protect Nanny Li, was indifferent, Yuanyang waved to the little maid standing at the door.The little maid nodded knowingly, lifted the curtain, and called in two stout women.

The two mothers-in-law had long disliked how Nanny Li relied on her status as Baoyu's nanny, yelling and drinking, and looked down on others.

Although the two women drove Nanny Li down cautiously, they used their figures to cover up their hands behind their backs.Either pinching or pushing, just a short distance made Mammy Li suffer a lot of hidden losses.

After a while, there was a muffled sound of reprimands from outside the hall, and Mammy Li begged for mercy like ghosts and wolves.

Jia Mu picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, "Although it was Mrs. Li who led the crowd to drink and make trouble, the maids and wives who were watching the night were all responsible for negligence. Now that Baoyu is ill, she can't cut off the servants around her, so they all buckle up." Half a year's monthly routine, let's wait and see the aftermath."

Since it was Jia Mu who spoke, everyone in the room held their breath and focused.

"Although Mrs. Li is gone, there must be no one to lead the Baoyu room." Jia's mother's eyes turned around Xiren and Qingwen, and finally fell on Xiren who had been calmly coping and demeanor, "Xiren , you will be in charge of Baoyu's room in the future."

"Yes, thank you Madam for your kindness, Xiren will live up to Madam's entrustment." Xiren heaved a sigh of relief, and finally the dust settled.

Yuanyang saw what was going on here, and Mother Jia showed a tired look on her brows, so she looked down at her pocket watch and whispered, "Old lady, it's just past three o'clock, go and rest for a while."

Jia Mu nodded, stretched out her arm, and let Yuanyang support her, "That's fine, but I have to go and see Baoyu first."

Baoyu lives in the warm pavilion, not far from the main hall.Mother Jia left first, and Mrs. Wang, as her daughter-in-law, naturally followed.When Mrs. Wang passed by Xiren, she paused, "I will take care of Baoyu in the future, and don't let the old lady down."

Attackers should be respectful.

Mrs. Wang took a deep look at Xi Ren, supported Zhou Rui's family's hand, followed Jia Mu, and walked out the door slowly.

Watching Mrs. Wang leave, Xi Ren faintly felt that something was wrong.

That night Xiren followed Jia's mother's wishes and joined forces with Yuanyang to push Nanny Li out of Jia's mansion.Although this scourge was solved once and for all, it also offended Mrs. Wang who was behind Nanny Li.

Xiren breathed out a turbid breath, since he has taken refuge in Jiamu, he should stop being greedy to please Mrs. Wang.

Fortunately, Xiren didn't plan to stay in Jia's house forever.There is still some time before Jia Mu passes away, she still has time to understand the world and plan to redeem herself and leave the house.

After all the masters had left, Xiren Qingwen stood up.Xiren helped his knees. After kneeling for a long time, the bluestone floor was filled with a chilling chill, and his knees were almost frozen.

But this is Jia's mother's house, Xiren would not complain aloud, and provoke right and wrong for nothing.

Xiren Qingwen supported each other and relaxed a little.Qingwen didn't feel any jealousy when Xiren got Jiamu's favor. Instead, she said in a low voice, "How is your illness? If you can still bear it, go and see Baoyu first."

"It's ready, let's go together." Xiren nodded.

The two went out one after another, and saw a bench in the courtyard with blood stains on it.

Nanny Li, who was very arrogant and scolded people just now, now her face is like gold paper, her lips are purple, and her eyes are closed tightly.She was dragged by the arms of the two women, like a dead dog, and dragged away from the yard, leaving a long bloodstain.

Xiren felt a sudden chill in his heart.

Qingwen held Xiren's hand, and an indifferent arc was drawn on her lips, "Don't think too much, it's her own fault, it has nothing to do with you."

Since the crossing, Xiren's calmness, which he has been trying to maintain, finally has a crack.She closed her eyes, put the useless weakness and guilt behind her, and showed a gentle and decent smile, "I've made a note of it."
