Aunt Xiu no longer had any affection for Qiu Yiran a long time ago, she only regarded the Hou Mansion as a place where she worked hard to build a good life for her mother and daughter, just like in the Zhenbei General's Mansion before. For more than ten years, especially after the death of her mother, wasn't she an orphan girl still mixed up and more comfortable than ordinary young ladies?

Who would have thought that when she was in high spirits, such a thing suddenly happened, which was sad enough, and Qiu Yiran, who had no responsibility, couldn't wait to accuse her, abuse her, and keep brooming the stars.

If it weren't for the fact that she had no eyes and no beads and was obsessed with this ruthless and unrighteous embroidered pillow, how could she be driven out by Yin Zhiruo? In the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion for more than half a year, it was the hardest and most laborious day since she became sensible. Speaking of which, Qiu Yiran is her broom star, right?

But what can she do now? Even if she is forced to die, even if she has a dead heart for Qiu Yiran, she can't turn her face with Qiu Yiran, her Niuniu is the daughter of the Qiu family, and Qiu Yiran is Niuniu's biggest reliance, this is a fact that can never be changed.

Seeing that she lowered her head and didn't say a word, Qiu Yiran snorted coldly in disgust: "The sins you have created, don't think about letting the entire Hou Mansion bear it for you, the Hou Mansion is over, and you and Niuniu will not end well!"

Aunt Xiu's voice was as cold as her heart: "Don't worry, the recipe of the Butterfly Seven Spices was recommended to Mrs. Tai by me and Ruxia, and it was also I who asked Mrs. Tai to open a fragrant workshop, and it has nothing to do with Lord and other people in the Hou Mansion." The concubine only asks for one thing. In case there is anything wrong with the concubine's body, please take care of Niuniu more. ”

Qiu Yiran pursed her lips with satisfaction: "Niuniu is my eldest daughter, so naturally I won't treat her badly." "Although it is impossible for a concubine to be pampered, it will not be treated badly, how much can a girl eat? Speaking of which, Niuniu's appearance is very good, and it combines all the advantages of him and Aunt Xiu.

Aunt Xiu snorted coldly secretly. She's not so ignorant and easy to coax. How can a concubine who has no mother have a good life? Not to mention such a dilapidated Hou Mansion in the Qiu family? Even if the Qiu family can escape this catastrophe, it will be completely decayed, and now even Mrs. Qiu's private house must be handed over. The Hou Mansion can really only rely on the Xu family's dowry.

"Master, can the concubine see Ruxia's side?" Aunt Xiu asked, no matter when, she didn't fight for it. There is no hope at all, "No matter how humble the concubine is." is also the concubine of the lord, or a good concubine, if the concubine can reduce the crime, it is always good for the lord and the Hou Mansion. "She has been freed. is no longer a concubine raised by a maid.

is also a concubine, there is still a big difference between a good concubine and a cheap concubine. For example, according to the law of Daying. The concubine has a household registration, which is recorded in the population register of the official government in the list of family members of the Hou Mansion. And the concubine is a slave, and she is in the book of slavery. Cheap concubines can be bought and sold, gifted, expelled from the house, or even killed at will, just like disposing of private property, others cannot be held accountable, while the expulsion of good concubines requires the release of a concubine book, and the effect is similar to that of the dissolution of the relationship between husband and wife.

"Mitigate the charge?" Qiu Yiran snorted contemptuously, "Do you want to put the blame on Ruxia and the Niu family?" I'm afraid it's not so easy, although Niu Ruxia is crazy and stupid, she is deeply favored by Old Lady Ning. He heard that Old Lady Ning was trying to find a way to help Ruxia escape punishment on the grounds that she was sick, and used Niu Jiabao to blackmail Niu San and his wife to bear the responsibility for Ruxia.

Crazy and stupid? Aunt Xiu sneered, how could a person like Xia really be crazy and stupid? However, according to what she thought before, Ruxia was crazy just to not be a concubine for Old Lady Ning, and after entering the Ning Mansion, she knew that she could not escape, so she should have slowly "recovered", why was she still pretending to be crazy and stupid? Could it be that she was really driven crazy? Also, how could Old Lady Ning pamper a crazy and stupid woman? It was so strange!

"When someone from the capital determines the toxicity of the Lost Butterfly Seven Incense, they will interrogate you, and then you can meet. Qiu Yiran looked at Aunt Xiu, who was stunned, and said, when the time comes, he is afraid that he will not be able to escape being interrogated, so he will come to threaten Aunt Xiu and let her know what to do and not to say.

Aunt Xiu frowned and raised her head: "Master, the Butterfly Seven Spices are the Seven Spices of Jiaoyan, which were stolen by Ru Xia from Yin Zhiruo, not made by the two of us ourselves." She originally wanted to collude with Ruxia before going to court, but now it seems that she has no chance, so she can only discuss and report with Qiu Yiran first.

Qiu Yiran snorted coldly: "Are you smart? People won't think about it, what you say is what?" In order to block Yin Zhiruo's mouth, so as not to affect the reputation of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Incense Fang, the origin of the Lost Butterfly Seven Spices has already been spread, and now that the Lost Butterfly Seven Fragrances have a problem, it will be completely subverted. Of course, it's good to be able to reverse black and white, but this plan is too bad, not only can't reverse black and white, but I'm afraid it will also smear their Qingyuan Marquis Mansion more and more black.

Aunt Xiu smiled (although it was more ugly than crying): "Liu Yun, who prepared the delicate seven spices, has long known life and death, and it is better to let her bear this responsibility." Although stealing the secret recipe and lying is hard to hear, it is better than making poison balm, not to mention that it is Ruxia who steals the secret recipe, I just help her lie and cover it up. ”

Qiu Yiran's eyes lit up, and he shrugged between his eyebrows, obviously listening.

Aunt Xiu continued: "The real culprit is gone, but the secret recipe came out of Yin Zhiruo, whether Yin Zhiruo knows that the formula is poisonous or not, she has to bear part of the responsibility, right? ”

Qiu Yiran's eyes became brighter and brighter, but wasn't it? The profits of the Xiangfang in the past few months and the private property of Mrs. Qiu Tai were still quite considerable in their mansion, but they were not enough to see in those wealthy families, not to mention that there were so many victims, enough to compensate one or two families? If the imperial court decided that they had to pay as much as they could, they would not be able to get much silver even if they sold the entire Hou Mansion, and it would really become a joke at that time.

"Moreover," Aunt Xiu knew that she had already impressed Qiu Yiran, "As long as Yin Zhiruo is pulled in, can King Jing, Governor Lin, and that Tie Muyuan not be afraid of two points?" Especially Tie Muyuan, he is really good to Yin Zhiruo's sisters and brothers. Doesn't it mean that he can speak in front of the emperor?" "is involved in this case, you can't just hold her, Ruxia, and the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, right?"

"I think it's okay," Ji Shi, who came to talk to Qiu Yiran, said as he walked in, "It just so happens that your Aunt Fang is also here, and she can prove that Liu Yun has indeed given Yin Zhiruo's secret recipe for Jiaoyan Qixiang." "The Ye family only has two requirements, one is not to admit that they know that Jiaoyan Qixiang has cold poison, and the other is that Yin Zhiqing does not come forward. This matter can't involve Zhiqing.

Ye was very sure that his mother and daughter would arrive in Los Angeles. Except for talking with Ji's family, she didn't talk about Jiaoyan Qixiang, and the cold poison definitely didn't leak out from her. So she would never admit to eavesdropping back then.

Of course, it is impossible for Ji Shi to admit what she talked about with Ye, otherwise it is not equivalent to admitting that she still did not stop it after knowing that the Lost Butterfly Seven Spices were poisonous?

Since Aunt Xiu entered the mansion, Ji agreed with her opinion for the first time. It is also the first time that Aunt Xiu has officially made a promise: this time, if she can do what Aunt Xiu said, she will successfully pull Yin Zhiruo in and "share weal and woe" with the Marquis of Qingyuan. Regardless of whether Aunt Xiu can escape the crime and return to the Hou Mansion safely, the Ji family will take Niuniu with her to raise her, and with the protection of Ji's grandmother, the subordinates dare not step on the low and praise the high. Even the future housewife Xu Shi did not treat Niuniu badly.

At this time, the Ji family and Aunt Xiu all decided that as long as Yin Zhiruo was pulled into the water, the Hou Mansion would not hurt their muscles and bones, at most they would return to the situation before the opening of the Xiangfang. As for Mrs. Tai's private property, they couldn't get their hands on it.

What the Qiu family didn't expect was. The flame of hope that they finally ignited was extinguished in less than a day, and many people are saying that in order to help the yamen solve the case, Miss Yin sent a bottle of Jiaoyan Qixiang sent by the Liu family to the prefect's yamen, so that the people from Beijing can check what is the difference between the butterfly Qixiang and the Jiaoyan Qixiang, and how the cold poison is produced.

It is said that the Liu family also once gave the secret recipe of Jiaoyan Qixiang to Miss Yin, but Miss Yin did not like Jiaoyan Qixiang like her mother Qianxin County Lord, they had heard the story of the ancestors of the Liu family, and felt that the heirloom of the Liu family was unlucky.

Miss Yin didn't want the secret recipe, and she couldn't refuse, so she simply let the personal maid Ruxia burn it, and when she burned the secret recipe in Xia, not only did Miss Yin and several personal maids be there, but there were also two masters and servants of the three girls of the Xu family in the capital.

Aunt Xiu was stunned after listening to these rumors outside the house, as if the cold winter wax moon was poured from the top of her head by a basin of cold water, and her heart was cold. She has always been smart and quick to react, and she understood as soon as she heard it, Yin Zhiruo was a preemptive voice, biting the butterfly Qixiang to death is not Jiaoyan Qixiang, it has nothing to do with Liu Yun's secret recipe, but it was just imitated by Ruxia and her two themselves.

There is the story she made up herself before, and Xu Qianran can confirm Yin Zhiruo's words, as well as the delicate seven fragrances provided by Yin Zhiruo......

Aunt Xiu sighed in despair, her plan was once again in vain. Why? Since arriving in Luozhou, she can't see through Yin Zhiruo at all, and Yin Zhiruo has broken her plans again and again. Every time she wanted to calculate Yin Zhiruo, as soon as the thought came up, she was strangled in the cradle, is it really God who is protecting Yin Zhiruo? Or as Ji said, Yin Zhiruo is as shrewd and cunning as the county lord of Qianxin, and he was just clumsy before. Can't even she, a close-fitting big girl who has been with her for more than ten years, be clumsy?

Qiu Yiran didn't give up: "Since Liu Yun wants to harm the county lord of Qianxin and Yin Zhiruo, won't there be a problem with the Jiaoyan Qixiang given to them?" As long as the box of Jiaoyan Qixiang handed over by Yin Zhiruo is the same as the Jiaoyan Qixiang formula hidden by Ruxia, they still have a chance.

Aunt Xiu shook her head: "No, when Liu Yun sent Yin Zhiruo Jiaoyan Qixiang, she hadn't hooked up with the prince of Mingguo, and she still had to attach herself to the Zhenbei General's Mansion, she wanted to stay with the general as a concubine at that time, and it was too late to tie up with the county lord of Qianxin and Yin Zhiruo, where did she dare to put cold poison in the incense? ”

It's just that Aunt Xiu is very puzzled, those two boxes of Jiaoyan Qixiang Yin Zhiruo have been useless, didn't Rudong send them to Yin Zhiqing the night before the wedding? Why are they still in Yin Zhiruo's hands? At that time, she was still very unhappy, thinking that it was better to give them to Yin Zhiqing than to cheapen them a few big girls, especially since she hinted to Yin Zhiruo several times that she liked the fragrance of Jiaoyan Qixiang.

Could it be that Rudong's dead girl was reluctant to send it to Yin Zhiqing and secretly hid it? So how dare she take it out now and let Yin Zhiruo know, isn't she afraid that Yin Zhiruo will suspect her of disobedience? Why is it that the two stupid people who were originally as ignorant as the master and servant have now become so inexplicable and don't play cards according to the rules?

"Then what should I do? How can I believe you slut again?" staring at the incomprehension and despair on Aunt Xiu's face, Qiu Yiran jumped like thunder, and rushed forward to kick Aunt Xiu in the chest.

After repeated setbacks this year, he has become more and more unable to control his feelings, and at this time, where does he still have the slightest appearance of a gentle and handsome marquis?

People are like this, there is no hope in the first place, and when they are provoked to hope, and then disappointed, they feel as if they have been framed.

Poor Aunt Xiu is like being suddenly drained of her spirit, her eyes are as dull as the eyes of a dead fish, and there are only four words in her mind at this moment: God doesn't pity me!

In the following days, Aunt Xiu couldn't get up again, no one paid attention to her, anyway, Qiu Yiran had already let the nurse take Niuniu away in order to blackmail her, and she couldn't see it, so she kept being alone in a daze, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The victims of the Misty Butterfly Qixiang case were either rich or noble, and there were three or four of them who were the daughters of the big families and big officials in the capital, and the imperial court could not but react quickly, and soon sent a special mission of seven or eight people to assist the Lin Governor in investigating the case. In addition to the three imperial doctors who came to treat the victim woman, the team also included a imperial doctor who was proficient in pharmacology and the eldest son of the first emperor in the incense making world, Xiang Junran, the eldest young master of the Xiang family.

It is said that the young master of Xiang began to smell and learn incense at the age of three, and he could make incense at the age of six, and before the age of fifteen, he created the incense "Qin Xiang" of the town store of the Xiangjia Xiangfang, and the tribute "Peony You" that was only supplied to the royal family was also created by the young master Xiang. Therefore, regarding incense and incense making, the twenty-year-old Young Master Xiang is definitely an authority, and he is not willing to give in front of the predecessors of various incense-making families, including his father, Master Xiang. Therefore, the emperor temporarily sent him to Luozhou, who had just entered Beijing for less than two days. (To be continued)
