Chapter 674 Chapter 676 Accountability
Liang Heshi did not intend to keep him to question him on the spot, "Since you have the news, then go down and explain it clearly.
If you can really find out who is behind this, I will promise you a bright future."
He waved his hand and said, "Take everyone away."
"Madam, I have something to say as well."
"Madam, this is really none of my business. I know nothing about it."
…
Liang He seemed to be oblivious to the pleas of these people. Instead, she turned to look at her niece and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Yu, who do you think would dare to do this?"
He Xiaoyu, "Aunt, Xiaoyu doesn't know either."
Liang He glanced at her and said, "Just speak your mind. Even if you are wrong, your aunt will not blame you."
He Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu thinks that the person who did it should be someone in the mansion."
If the people outside really have a grudge against the government, they would kill them directly if they get such an opportunity.
"Aunt, there is another possibility. It's probably because the people below were careless and accidentally got it mixed up." He Xiaoyu said in a low voice.
Liang He chuckled, "Confused? This is probably the best joke I've heard this year."
He Xiaoyu didn't dare to say anything else and quietly stepped aside.
Liang He said coldly, "It's a pity that the other party is not ruthless enough. He wants the master to keep his high position and high salary, and also wants to get rid of me as soon as possible.
With such a woman's kindness, I really don't know how the maid left behind by Chen taught her?
Go to the front yamen and inform the master to come back, and let him know what fools the people he is protecting are. "
The butler at the side asked cautiously, "Madam, several ladies are feeling unwell today. Should we prepare a gift first?"
Liang He turned to look at him and said with a smile, "That's natural.
Everyone was invited by me, and I feel very sorry that you have suffered this misfortune for no reason. Please pick out all the valuable items in the storehouse for me, so that I can distribute them when the time comes."
Those things will have to be sent back to my hometown by the end of the year. Now that something has happened, I can only take over for now.
The butler hesitated, "But those things..."
Liang He raised her hand and said, "Just go ahead and do it. The master won't have any objections."
Liangshi was hurriedly called back to the mansion, and on the way he listened to the steward's brief account of what happened in the backyard.
I just felt a surge of anger in my heart, and before I even entered the door, I yelled, "He, how do you manage the household?
I asked you to host a banquet, but such a big mistake happened.
Now, several wives have become ill. How can I explain this to my subordinates?"
Liang He sat in the main seat without moving, and did not go to greet him as she did in the past, "If it is my responsibility, then I am willing to hand over the power of housekeeper.
But Master, without any investigation, you put all the evidence on me. Isn't that unfair?"
"How dare you quibble here? Aren't you the one who takes care of all the things in the backyard?
Now that something has gone wrong, you still want to push the responsibility away?"
Liang He chuckled, "It seems that the master has already convicted me. Let's just say it's my fault. Then bring out the culprit this time so that our great master can make a fair judgment."
As he said this, he turned to look at his trusted maid, "Go and bring the person out. I hope that the master can handle this matter impartially this time, just as the rumors outside say, without partiality or favoritism."
Liang Shi swung his sleeves and sat on her right. "Don't think you can escape your guilt by speaking in such a sarcastic way. I'll deal with these later. Pack up quickly. I'll take you to the various mansions to apologize."
Liang He smiled and looked at him, "Indeed, he committed such a big mistake and murdered the official's wife. Even if he was tortured to death, it would not be enough to relieve his hatred."
Liang Shi looked at her coldly, feeling that this woman was stimulated by something and her mind was a little confused.
At this time, the old woman brought out a nanny and two maids from the backyard and made them kneel in front of the hall, "Madam, the people are here."
Liang Shi looked at the familiar nanny and narrowed his eyes. "He, what are you doing? Are you reaching your hands into my yard?"
Liang He picked up the teacup and sipped it leisurely. "Master, don't you want to find the culprit? Look, this person poisoned the food. We have evidence and witnesses. It depends on how you deal with it."
"This is nonsense. Nanny Luo is an elder in the mansion. How could she do such a thing?"
"Oh, then I, as the mistress of the house, have a reason to find something to do for myself?"
Ryoshi said, "...it's because you don't manage your family well."
"When I entered the family, the master told me on the first day that I had no right to interfere with the servants in your courtyard and the people left behind by the late madam.
Master, do you still remember it?"
Yoshimi, “…”
"Now, how can the crime of not managing the household properly be pinned on me?"
“…”
Liang He raised his hand and called the servant who had just confessed, "Now, the Lord Qingtian is sitting here, quickly report everything you saw one by one. With the Lord Qingtian's impartial judgment, you will be cleared of all charges."
"Master, today this girl asked me to help carry things to your courtyard while I was preparing food."
A maid pointed at a girl kneeling in front of the hall and said, "Because it was a matter of the master's courtyard, I didn't dare to delay and went with her. I don't know what happened afterwards."
"Master, after the old woman left, this person came in and told me about the master's preferences," Chef Li pointed at another maid, "He said that the master likes spicy food now, and the dishes prepared in the kitchen are too light."
"What does this prove?" Liang Shi already felt something was wrong and his face turned cold.
"And this servant," someone suddenly spoke from behind the kneeling servant, "When your master was in the kitchen with this girl, I saw Nanny Luo go in, but she came out again very quickly."
"I am curious, why do all the maids and servants in the master's courtyard crowd into the kitchen at the same time?"
Nanny Luo, "I just wanted to go to the kitchen to see how the food is being cooked. Madam, please don't wrongly accuse me."
"Oh, you are wrongly accused?" Liang He pointed at one of the maids and asked, "Then tell me, what did you confess?"
The old woman was trembling and could hardly speak clearly. "Slave, I saw Nanny Luo yesterday. She left the house and came back with vegetables in her hand, a basket..."
"I just went out to buy some things," Luo Mama said while waiting for the old woman, "Madam, you can't wrongly accuse people."
"Oh..., you left the house? Why did you leave the house without coming to me to get the right cards?"
After Liang Heshi finished speaking, she looked at Liang Shi with a look of realization, "I almost forgot that the master gave these people special privileges, and it is not my responsibility.
People are free to come and go in this palace, but these people have exclusive rights."
