The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

Gu Ruoxi reached out and touched the chicken, from its neck to its back, smoothed its hair, and asked gently:

"We were not in the yard today. Did you miss us when you were in the yard?"

Everyone: ...Fool! Will a chicken miss you?

Unexpectedly, the chicken looked at Gu Ruoxi just like others looked at her, slightly tilting its head and giving her a sidelong glance.

You read it right. He glanced at Gu Ruoxi, as if to ask you some meaningless questions.

However, Gu Ruoxi glanced at Nangong Yu at that moment, because she felt that the look that the chicken just gave her was similar to the way Nangong Yu sometimes looked at her.

Gu Ruoxi smiled lightly, as if she was talking to herself, or as if she was really talking to the chicken:

"Today I will help you get revenge. You go find your enemy and see who gave you the needle. Then you go and bite it. Do you hear me?"

Chicken… glanced at her sideways again.

If the chicken really understood what she said, then the chicken really looked at her.

Gu Ruoxi suggested that all the servants stand in a circle, with the maids in one circle and the old women in another circle.

Gu Ruoxi looked at Qingyi again and said:

"Put the chicken in the middle of the pen and see who it bites. That person will be the one to give it the needle."

Qingyi was speechless, but still took a step forward and wanted to hug the chicken. However, the chicken took big strides and walked towards the circle over there.

This alone surprised everyone.

Hey, can this chicken really find the person who hurt it?

Qingyi simply stopped hugging the chicken and just followed it.

Nangong Jiao also found it strange. Could this chicken really be obedient?

So, she felt a little curious and followed behind to watch.

But both the big and small Zhu family looked a little unhappy, this chicken was not right.

There was nothing wrong with the chicken. It walked proudly to the circle formed by the girls, and came out after clucking twice.

Then he walked into the circle of old women and rushed straight towards a young wife.

When it arrived in front of the young wife, it jumped up on the spot and pecked directly at the young wife's hand.

The young wife was so scared that she raised her hands and tried to run away, and the big rooster chased her.

Nangong Yu deliberately looked at Xiao Zhu's expression, and sure enough, her expression had changed.

So, this big rooster found the right one?

Other people also saw a chicken chasing and biting the young wife.

Nangong Jiao hadn't realized how serious this was and was laughing out loud as she watched from the side.

Someone nearby intentionally or unintentionally handed a broom to the young wife, and the young wife raised the broom and was about to hit the rooster.

Qingyi took action and kicked the broom away.

I don’t know if it was intentional or just a coincidence, but the broom flew directly towards the person who handed it over.

The young wife was startled and knocked down by the chicken.

Nanny Yang hurried forward and took away the rooster that was biting the young wife's hand.

The young wife was brought to the center of the main room.

Seeing the masters all over the room, he was so frightened that his legs went limp and he fell to his knees with a thud.

Be it Xie Qingrou or Nangong Yu, to be honest, they are all smart people. Even if they find out that this young wife is the one who gave the chicken the acupuncture, they can't do anything to Xiao Zhu.

She has sons and daughters and is protected by Mrs. Zhu. How can she be demoted? She is just a concubine anyway.

But if I don’t find this person, I will feel very upset.

Now they have found her. Nangong Yu recognizes this young wife, and so does Xie Qingrou. She is Xiao Chengjia, the daughter-in-law of Xiao Zhu's wet nurse.

Moreover, this girl from Xiao Chengjia was Xiao Zhu's maid before she married Xiao Cheng.

Usually she was in charge of purchasing in the west courtyard, and she was the best manager in the mansion. She had embezzled a lot of money. I heard that she even bought a house outside.

Some officials who were sent back from other places could not afford to buy a house in the capital, but this person bought a house outside.

If it were normal times, Xiao Zhu would cover her for matters concerning the family, but something was obviously wrong today.

She was not stupid. She knelt there and looked at Xiao Zhu from time to time.

Xie Qingrou walked forward step by step. When she got in front of her, she stretched out her hand and grabbed her hair and said:

"Did you pierce the chicken with the embroidery needle?"

Xiao Chengjia's hair was pulled, so he could only raise his head and look at Xiao Zhu in panic. Xiao Zhu shook her head slightly and said loudly:

"No, madam, I am innocent. I am innocent."

Xiao Zhu also spoke up:

"Ma'am, you can't say she was the one who stabbed the chicken just because a chicken bit her. Chickens can't talk."

Yes, there is no evidence.

Old Mrs. Zhu also frowned. Anyway, she was sitting in the highest seat in the room today, but she was treated as if she didn't exist.

At this time she spoke:

"Stop it, what do you think my Jing'an Hall is?"

But Xie Qingrou had been holding a lot of anger in her heart for the past two days and hadn't vented it yet. Now she found an opportunity. To be honest, no matter whether he was from Xiao Cheng's family or not, now that her hair had been caught, Xie Qingrou had no intention of letting her go.

Xie Qingrou said coldly:

"Really? With so many people here, the chicken will bite anyone but you."

Xiao Chengjia shouted again:

"Madam, Madam, help me, I didn't give the chicken an injection."

Xiao Zhu stepped forward to save the people, but Nanny Yang stepped forward to stop her:

"It's better not to move Aunt Zhu. The Marquis's wife has the right to punish all the servants in this mansion. It doesn't matter if it's her or not. It would be bad if Aunt Zhu was involved. This concerns the life and death of the prince."

With Nanny Yang standing there like this, Xiao Zhu really didn't dare to come over, and could only stand aside and shout:

"My Lord, you have to make the decision for me. I will not accept the Madam punishing me without any basis!"

Gu Ruoxi suddenly said:

"There is evidence. When she gave the first injection to the chicken, she was chanting and cursing the Crown Prince to die early, blocking the Second Young Master's path to becoming the Crown Prince."

"When I gave the second injection, I cursed the Marquis's wife to die early and block the way for Concubines Zhu."

"The third injection is to curse that the wedding will not be successful, and the person who wants to get married will be a widow for the rest of her life."

"When I gave the fourth injection, I cursed the old Marquis' wife and the Marquis to die early and block the way for the Zhu family."

Gu Ruoxi spoke out one sentence after another, and Xiao Chengjia was horrified when he heard it. This is what he said at that time, but there was no one in the room at that time.

But, Gu Ruoxi knew it!

Then she heard the last part and screamed:

"No, no, no, I only gave you three injections, not the fourth. I didn't curse the old Marquis' wife and the Marquis..."

Need I say more?

Is there still a trial?

The Marquis stood up suddenly, glared at Xiao Zhu who was kneeling in front of him to beg for mercy, pointed at Xiao Chengjia and said:

"Did you hear what she said?!"

Xiao Zhu's mind was buzzing. What did Xiao Chengjia say just now? Did she admit it?

After Xiao Chengjia shouted, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

In desperation, she stood up and tried to rush into the doorpost.

However, since Qing Yi was present, she would definitely not die.

Qingyi pressed her acupuncture points and removed her chin, then lifted her up in his hand.

Nangong Yu said coldly:

"Mo Yi, go and bring her husband and child with you and hand them over to Lord Shen for interrogation."
