After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Chapter 155 Is it such a coincidence?

Yan Mobai's phoenix eyes deepened slightly.

He motioned to her: "Get up and talk."

Hu Mei shook her head and refused to get up.

She won't get up.

Not only does she want the villain to complain first, she also wants to put on a good show.

Today she must win back a game.

Who made that woman so ungrateful? Yesterday, she apologized in person, but the woman vomited in front of her and disgusted her in front of her.

It’s amazing to be able to have a child!

She thought that if she put some oil in front of her door in the middle of the night, no one would notice.

Even if the child is not dropped, at least the person who hurts her will be dropped.

Anyway, I have to get rid of this anger.

I didn't expect to be discovered by the other party.

Now that she has discovered it, she can only put the blame on others.

No one saw it anyway.

She also had physical evidence, the rusty brass lock.

Moreover, the story she made up was more believable. She was passing by and the woman happened to be going out and knocked her down. It was an accident.

But what the woman was talking about was her premeditated murder.

Accidents are more believable than intentional acts.

"I have already apologized to Aunt Zhou in person for what happened yesterday. Your Excellency also saw it in the dining room yesterday. I took the initiative to show my friendship to Aunt Zhou. I wanted to have a good relationship with her and not embarrass Your Excellency."

"But...she holds a grudge against me." Hu Mei's eyes turned red as she spoke.

"Although Aunt Zhou is Guard Lan's godmother, and although you have said that you will protect Guard Lan, I believe that you will not be partial to others when it comes to matters of right and wrong and principle. You will definitely handle it impartially, right?"

Hu Mei looked at Yan Mobai with red eyes.

She had said so much, if he continued to side with that woman, it would be partiality.

"Of course." Yan Mobai nodded, his eyes unclear.

He opened a drawer and took out a vermilion lacquered wooden box. He opened it and took out a jade inkstone from the box.

He said to Hu Mei: "This inkstone was given by the emperor."

Hu Mei was stunned, wondering why he suddenly told her this?

Is he going to give her the jade inkstone?

Yes, he must want to use the jade inkstone as compensation so that she won't bother with Aunt Zhou.

Such a large jade inkstone must be worth a lot of money, not to mention it was a gift from the emperor.

She made the decision without much thought.

If that was the case, she agreed and promised to forgive Aunt Zhou.

Just as I was excitedly thinking about whether I should pretend to refuse and then agree, I saw Yan Mobai suddenly raise his arm.

He threw the jade inkstone out, and it fell heavily on the ground, breaking into two pieces with a "bang".

Hu Mei was stunned.

Chi Feng on the side was also startled.

Hu Mei looked at the inkstone that had been broken into two pieces on the ground in shock, not knowing what was going on.

what's the situation?

In a daze, I heard Yan Mobai shout in a deep voice: "Someone come!"

Two clerks who were waiting for orders in the corridor outside came in upon hearing the noise.

"grown ups."

"Hu Mei smashed the inkstone bestowed by the emperor. This is a great disrespect. He will be thrown into prison and await punishment!" Yan Mobai said in a cold voice with a stern face.

Hu Mei's head buzzed.

what?

For a moment I thought I had heard it wrong.

She still couldn't believe it when she saw two petty officials coming to arrest her.

It wasn't until she was pulled up by two clerks that she reacted.

This man actually...actually...

She immediately resisted and hissed, "I didn't, it wasn't me who broke it, it was Master Yan who broke it himself..."

Yan Mobai smiled.

"I really like the tofu pudding you made, and I really want to let you go, but I can't be partial. The inkstone fell right next to you, there is physical evidence, and Chi Feng also saw you break it with his own eyes, there are witnesses, there are both physical and human evidence, I can't be partial."

After saying that, his smile faded and he said coldly: "Drag him away!"

Two clerks dragged Hu Mei away.

Hu Mei's voice crying out for injustice could be heard from a distance.

In the office, Chi Feng took a long time to recover from his shock. He walked forward and picked up the inkstone that was broken into two pieces on the ground.

"Sir, your fall has stunned all of your subordinates."

Yan Mobai handed him the empty box and motioned him to put the broken inkstone into the box.

"I thought she was a sensible person, but I didn't expect her to be such a troublemaker. In that case, I'll lock her up for a month. You will be responsible for delivering her meals every day."

Chi Feng naturally understood what he meant.

Add medicine to the diet.

He nodded and said, "Yes!"

Yan Mobai raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.

But if I did that, I would no longer have an excuse to go to the kitchen and dining room at 4:15 p.m. every day.

-

In the kitchen, Ning Miao was still waiting to be called.

Manager Liao came back and said that Yan Mobai was personally interrogating them, questioning them one by one.

She was not optimistic.

Obviously, what Hu Mei is good at is turning the tables, being the first to accuse others, and saying black is white.

Moreover, the reasons Hu Mei gave are indeed valid.

From the reactions of the women who were awakened by her knocking on the doors at night, it can be seen that many people believed Hu Mei's words.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't get summoned, but instead received the news that Hu Mei was thrown into prison.

It was said that Hu Mei broke the inkstone that the emperor had just bestowed on Yan Mobai, and was thrown into prison for the crime of disrespect, awaiting his fate.

this......

Logically speaking, Ning Miao should be happy.

The wicked were punished.

But she couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.

The guess in my heart has become stronger and clearer in the past two days.

Yes, she suspected that Yan Mobai had recognized her.

She had this feeling yesterday when Lan Ying told her how Yan Mobai had handled the matter of Hu Mei wanting to live with her.

Lan Ying is his personal bodyguard. In front of outsiders, he will protect Lan Ying. She believes it.

But he took it too far.

Every word he said to Hu Mei came true. No matter that she was Lan Ying's godmother, he still couldn't mess with Lan Ying or she would get angry with him.

She knew him, and this was not something he would normally say.

What's more, he was not a person who was greedy for food at all. He actually hired someone to come to the kitchen to make tofu pudding, and he would put aside his official duties every day and come to the kitchen to eat a bowl of it.

He came to the dining room at four quarters past four to eat tofu pudding, and she went to clean the tables and chairs in the dining room at five quarters past four.

They are bound to meet.

Is it such a coincidence?

Moreover, she originally thought that tofu pudding was salty, but when she ate it at noon yesterday, she found out that it was sweet.

Hu Mei said that what she cooked was always sweet.

But Yan Mobai doesn't like sweets.

Then, the meals suddenly included more fruits and nutritious stews, with the reason being that the Dali Temple had solved many major cases and the emperor was giving them as rewards.

There is indeed nothing wrong with this reason.

However, she heard from the two shopping guys that Chi Feng would now confirm the daily list and account of purchased ingredients, for fear that they would embezzle money.

This kind of thing can be handled by Liao, why does Chi Feng need to personally take care of it?

Besides, Yan Mobai is not the kind of person who would care about such trivial matters!

Therefore, she had to suspect that Chi Feng was not confirming the accounts, but what ingredients were purchased.

For example, is it nutritious or is it contraindicated for pregnant women?

And today.

Since it is a dispute between her and Hu Mei, the two of them should go to court, be interrogated together, and confront each other face to face.

But he summoned them one by one.

In addition, based on her understanding of him, he has his own style and preferences in doing things and using things.

Even if it was given by the Emperor or Prince Ning, he would not display it for use if he did not like it.

Moreover, it was in a public place like the Dali Temple, where it was easy for things to be stolen or damaged, and it was even more impossible for him to display the things bestowed by the emperor for use.

To take a step back, even if he put it out and used it, the possibility of Hu Mei falling was very small.

He couldn't let her help him grind ink, and he couldn't let her get too close to his desk.

Hu Mei was going there for interrogation, so it was impossible for her to get close to the table.

How did the imperial inkstone fall?

She couldn't imagine it anyway.
