Chapter 130 Gardenia

"Sister, is this the beginning?" Mu Xiyao smiled and turned to look at Helian Minmin's stiff face, not minding her indifference towards her at all.

"If you can catch the spies, naturally the sooner the better." Helian Minmin nodded in agreement. Although looking at Mu Xiyao's seductive look is hateful, but the rebel with a thorn in her throat makes her hate it even more.

"Aunt Fang is an old man in the palace, and she is very good at blending fragrances and medicines. Today, you all follow her orders and undergo inspections one by one."

"Auntie, thank you."

Aunt Fang was tall and thin, her hair was neatly pulled back, and her eyes were especially sharp on her serious face.

"There is a scent on the letter paper, which is very thin. This is the trace left by sweat after long-term contact with a type of fragrance powder. Stay for a while. The result will be explained later by the servant."

Mu Xiyao stared at the women in the room, and felt emotional in her heart, it's hard to find an excuse, if you are not careful, it will be a flaw. Fortunately, the female family members of the Wei Dynasty are used to incense, which saved her trouble.

"The maids in Wu's Kong's courtyard come first, and then it's the turn of the Qi's to serve." Mu Xiyao casually pointed and gave everyone the order.

Wu obeyed his orders and stood up, saluting respectfully. Let the maids in the yard go up one by one for my aunt to check.

After a while, everyone's hands were soaked in water, and they stretched out their hands to let the masters see clearly.

He Lian Minmin looked at the wet palms, except for the drops of water hanging on them, there was no change, and raised his brows in doubt.

"Ms. Wu's courtyard has no incense on her hands." Aunt Fang replied with a straight face to Concubine Helian and Concubine Mu.

Mu Xiyao nodded, indicating to continue.

When it was the turn of the people in Kong's house, two of them had slightly yellow hands.

"This is a reaction to long-term exposure to lily fragrance. It does not match the fragrance of letterhead."

Kong's heart fell to the ground instantly. This Aunt Fang is very capable, she can test it out by using incense.

Afterwards, the members of the Qi family were the same as the Wu family, nothing changed.

Everyone looked at the three groups of people with more than a dozen hands, and they all fell silent for a while. According to Aunt Fang, it is clear that no one was found!

After watching this scene, the scene was greatly inspected, but the results were so few, it was a waste of work. Now everyone in the room became active, and their eyes staring at Mu Xiyao became very strange, especially the high-ranking people in the backyard, who were secretly surprised and gloated.

Mrs. Mu is so motivating and mobilizing people, he still patted his heart in front of the concubine and promised that the thief would be caught today. How will she end up with this result now? This time the woman lost all face.

"Sister, why didn't my sister understand the result? Or is it because you found the wrong person?" Su Linrou held a silk handkerchief, covering the corners of her lips, and sneered.

"Mu Shi, is this the guarantee you made to this concubine?" Helian Minmin looked extremely worried. I thought that what she said was sure enough that there should be a lot of evidence, but I didn't expect that she was also a big talker. If she had known that it was so useless, she might as well have arrested all the suspects and tortured them to extract confessions.

Mu Xiyao saw everyone's expressions, and felt "sad".

Alas, apart from Mrs. Zhang, no one really wants to see her in this backyard. This character is so bad? Mu Yaonu is very dissatisfied with her lack of popularity. The Sixth Highness left without any support. These people didn't even bother to make superficial promises. They were really not tactful enough.

"Sister, wait a moment, didn't the result already come out?" Mu Xiyao chuckled, pointing at a person with her left hand, her black eyebrows raised high.

"Why, how long do you want to act?"

Everyone's eyes followed her palace fan, and they all looked at Mrs. Wu, and when they saw that it was the elm bump who had always been peaceful, honest and timid, his expression changed beyond words.

Mrs. Wu was dragged out by Mu Xiyao, dizzy for an instant, moved a few steps with soft legs, knelt in the middle trembling, her eyes were full of panic, and she couldn't even utter a word of excuse. He was very much like the cowardly and unsightly person on weekdays.

Su Linrou turned her head and snorted coldly, looking at Mu Xiyao with great disdain. "Little sister can't catch anyone, so she just points at someone to fool everyone? Could it be that the side concubine thinks that everyone here is brainless?"

The people in the room generally agreed with Su Linrou's questioning. This Wu family is so cowardly, if they can be meticulous, then aren't they all stupid people with no eyesight?

Mu Xiyao listened to Su Linrou finding fault with each other, and stared at her for a while, until her scalp was numb from looking at the woman opposite, then she pouted and said something that made the other's forehead bloodshot.

"If Concubine Su didn't come to Zen Ruoyuan with her brain today, I can wait for you to go back and rectify before coming back."

This was clearly saying that Su Linrou was stupid. Everyone present didn't want the two side concubines to meet by accident, so they were extremely excited. Ever since entering the prince's mansion, there has never been a conflict in the back house on the surface. Now this momentum is a signal to fight head-on?

"You!" Su Linrou threw off her veil in anger, and looked at Mu Xiyao with scarlet eyes. "Don't think that you can do whatever you want because His Royal Highness is pampering you. There is still a serious prince and concubine in this mansion, and you, Mu Xiyao, are just a concubine! You are also a concubine of the prince, what right do you have to insult me ​​with evil words?"

Helian Minmin sat upright and watched the conflict between the two intensify, without the slightest hint of dissuasion, instead enjoying watching the play.

Su Linrou was originally lacking in brains, it's a good thing that Mu Xiyao is being entangled with her now. She always welcomes Mu's troubles.

Seeing that the main concubine did not speak, the two concubines sat quietly, not daring to overstep.

Seeing her twitching posture, Mu Xiyao was obviously very angry. It's really worrying, now that Zong Zhenglin is not here, Helian Minmin is definitely not willing to help her ground that woman again. Is this to force her to do it herself?

"Concubine Su, don't worry, you just sit down and listen to the interrogation. I don't need my concubine to talk about whether you have a brain or not. What humiliating words are there, let alone talk about it." When the time comes, you Just grab your pig's brain and get out of here, it's uncomfortable to watch.

"How dare you talk nonsense!" Su Linrou was furious for a moment, and raised her right hand to greet Mu Xiyao's face.

"Bold, this is the opposite of the sky!" Helian Minmin was shocked, and quickly had someone pull Su Linrou back, holding her to sit on the seat without daring to let go.

Zhao Momo took the female guards given by His Highness the Sixth Highness, and had long been protecting Mu Xiyao. Even if the main concubine did not show up, the side concubine Su would not be able to reach the master.

Helian Minmin's face was ugly, Su Linrou just wanted to see her and Mu Xiyao have a good show, so she made such a big mess for her?

"Su Shi, if you dare to mess around again, this concubine can only ground you. You have to think carefully before you act." She glared at her gloomyly. Flick her in the face. Can Mu Xiyao be bumped right now? As long as her damn stomach is not in labor, it will not allow others to touch it, especially in front of her!

"Mu Shi, continue to ask questions. If you can't catch someone today, you can guarantee that this concubine will remember clearly." The implication is that if you dare to speak boldly, today's punishment will also be borne.

"Yes. Concubine, let's get down to business~~" Mu Xiyao's voice dragged on for a long time, she squinted at Su Linrou for a moment, then turned her head and continued to stare at Mrs. Wu to attack.

"The maidservant of the Qi family didn't change color after being soaked in water. That's because she's a little... repulsed by incense, so she hasn't used incense for a long time." Mu Xiyao is very particular about her words, and a wise person knows what she hears.

The Qi family used incense to seduce Zong Zhenglin, and was dealt with by His Royal Highness to the point where he is still afraid. If he dared to touch the incense again, he was afraid that if His Highness found out, he would dig up the past and settle the matter with her.

"As for you," Mu Xiyao looked at Wu and shook her head with great regret, "but you are too smart."

"Give her those two pieces of paper." Mu Xiyao asked Mo Lan to hand over the copied secret paper to Wu Shi who was kneeling below for review.

"After you went back yesterday, you closed the courtyard door for a long time. Not only did you recruit your confidant maid to question you, but you also walked around the courtyard several times by yourself. In the end, you were even more worried, so you took some things and put them in the water tank. Let everyone in the courtyard eat the boiled rough tea without knowing it."

"However, you may not have imagined that when I got the news, my concubine added a lot of material to your remaining big maid's clothes and hair accessories on a whim. But why can't I find anything today? Mrs. Wu, what do you mean?" Not surprising?"

Mu Xiyao waved the round fan, seeing the drastic change in the face of the woman below, she was in a good mood for a while. Telling you to kidnap someone through messages, the retribution in this life comes easily.

"Why, do you still want to quibble? Do you want me to ask Aunt Fang to use other methods to test the clothes on your big maid? Oh, by the way, there is also that water tank, and you probably don't have time to clean it up. What's in it? Could it be the miraculous secret medicine in Sichuan? Even the taste can be concealed, so it is practical..."

Every time Mu Xiyao said something, Wu's face turned pale.

Got it! This woman was so cunning that she let her mess herself up and was ruined by her own cleverness. Really helpless. I have escaped for so many years, after today, this life is no longer my own.

Oh, it's also funny. When will this life be his own again? This life has been manipulated by others, and now it's just paying off debts.

Seeing the woman in the backyard kneeling in the middle, Wu Shi, who was still trembling and pale, suddenly stopped trembling, gently straightened her temples, and slowly got up.

"The side concubine's scheming, the servants are not wronged." Wu's face was calm, and his brows and eyes were all dull. Where is the initial sluggishness. It seems rather arrogant.

"Speaking like this is worthy of your eyes." After completing the task, Mu Xiyao spared no effort in talking nonsense.

Only then did everyone notice Wu's bright eyes. At first glance, there is actually a sense of surprise.

Helian Minmin stared at Mrs. Wu for a long time before looking back at Mu Xiyao in confusion. I really have to admire her skills.

As for Su Linrou, her face turned purple from being suppressed for a long time, and she wished she could immediately hide in Fanghua Garden to avoid seeing people.

"Come here, take this woman under custody and send her to the government for severe punishment at another day." Helian Minmin ordered sternly. It's about the rebel party, she has no right to deal with criminals in private.

"Wait!" Mu Xiyao stopped Tian Fushan's men from moving.

"Mu Shi, what do you mean?" Helian Minmin was annoyed. The prisoner has also been found out, how long does she expect to dictate in Zen Ruoyuan? Is this an opportunity to show off that she has contributed to the Prince's Mansion?

Mu Xiyao ignored He Lian Minmin's questioning, but squinted her eyes, looking at the center of the room very coldly, she was not afraid of the woman who was staring at her.

"Wu Shi, should I call you 'Gardenia'?"
