Chapter 29: Anomaly

When Yu Mingzhi woke up to the call of his mother, it was already dark.

Qin Ji was gone, the recliner was clean, the futon was at her feet, and the bed had been put into the cabinet. She took advantage of her mother's inattention, glanced at the bottom of the bed, and even the towel and medicine box were gone.

When did Qin Ji leave, and how did he quietly pack up everything?

She rubbed her forehead, sensitively noticing that something was wrong.

Qin Ji was by her side, even if she was safe, she would worry about her injuries, and she couldn't sleep all night.

But she fell asleep, sleeping so badly that she didn't notice anything.

Mother Qi didn't notice the solemnity of the young lady's face, smiled and said a few words, and went out to get hot water again. Zhu'er came in with her clothes and whispered to her, "Childe has returned to the mansion under the escort of the guards, please rest assured." ”

"It's okay......" Yu Mingzhi muttered.

Zhu'er stared at her, "Miss, is there something wrong with you?"

Yu Mingzhi shook his head, "I slept too hard last night, and I felt weird." ”

Zhu'er said: "I asked Miss to take care of my son last night, but Zhu'er didn't serve her well. ”

Yu Mingzhi didn't mean to blame, bandaging the wound was just a gesture, when she was at home in the past, her father or cousin practiced soldiers and horses, and competed in martial arts, and it was inevitable that she would be injured, she was helping to clean it up, and the only thing that was difficult for her was to face Qin Ji.

"It just so happens that you don't have to be on duty all night, and neither he nor I want to alarm anyone. Although we are in the Yang family now, the two of us met late at night, and it is not good to spread it after all. ”

At this time, Qi's mother came in with a basin of water, and the two of them stopped talking about this, and Zhu'er served Yu Mingzhi to change his clothes and talked about where to go today.

Qi's mother said: "Why don't you go buy some cloth and embroider a pair of mandarin duck pillows?" ”

Zhu'er joked: "My uncle is so powerful, he has already captured the heart of our mother." ”

Qi's mother glared at her with a smile, "I'm counting on Miss and Auntie." ”

Yu Mingzhi reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and lowered his head, "It's a pity that I don't want to touch the needle and thread anymore recently." ”

Mother Qi is a spirit, she is really cheap, when the young lady is out, she just relies on needlework to make a living? Now that she is back, she will definitely not have such a bad experience as touching things.

"I ......"

Yu Mingzhi put down a hairpin and interrupted her: "Mom doesn't have to care about that, let's think of other gifts." ”

Qi's mother sneered, "Okay." ”

Waiting for Qi's mother to go out to do something else, Zhu'er asked with a smile, "Miss really wants to prepare a gift for Son?"

Yu Mingzhi said: "Last night was a return gift. Qin Ji will keep her kindness in his heart, and then repay him the same, and he will never owe it.

Zhu'er was stunned and shook her head helplessly.

After dressing up, Chun Tao and the others had already put breakfast on the table, and Yu Mingzhi was about to sit down to eat, when Guo Long's voice sounded outside, "The flower pot was broken yesterday, I don't know if I will make up for it in the morning?

A hint of panic flashed across Chun Tao's face, and her gaze fell to the table.

At this time, Yu Mingzhi went out to greet her, Zhu'er and Qi's mother followed closely, she hurriedly reached out and picked up a plate, looked left and right, and finally stuffed it into the drawer next to her. As soon as she was ready, a few people went back to the house and sat down for breakfast.

The eldest lady shouldn't have noticed that there were any side dishes for breakfast, right? She nervously observed Yu Mingzhi's face, watching them eat breakfast while laughing, without asking anything, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After breakfast, the maids removed the dishes and chopsticks, and Chun Tao secretly looked at the cabinet where a plate of food was hidden, and wanted to take it away while they were not paying attention, but the eldest lady and her aunt had no intention of leaving, and were discussing the matter of going to the silk village to pick up fabrics to make new clothes later.

She had no choice but to bow her head and leave, Yu Mingzhi picked up the tea on the table and rinsed her mouth, glancing at the back of the person who had just stepped out of the threshold.

"That's it. Guo Long got up, "I'll send someone to pick you up when the time comes." ”

"Yes, Auntie. Yu Mingzhi sent Guo Long to the door, and by the way, she glanced around, Chun Tao and Chun Xing were not there, she immediately turned around and came to the cabinet next to the dining table, opened the drawer, and looked coldly at the scattered pickled cucumbers.

She pulled out a hairpin, poked a small piece of cucumber, wrapped it carefully with a handkerchief, and handed it to Zhu'er, "You find someone to check, what's wrong with this thing, as soon as possible." In addition, check Guo Zeng's movements, I want to know where she will go these days. ”

Zhu'er's face was solemn, and the poison that couldn't be tried actually appeared in ordinary people's homes, and those people really tried their best.

"Miss rest assured, Zhu'er will find out as soon as possible. With that, she put away her things and was about to leave.

Yu Mingzhi grabbed her, "It's not time to tell Qin Sheren about this matter." ”

Zhu'er looked at her serious face and nodded solemnly.

Qi's mother looked at her back in a daze, didn't figure out what was going on, and knew that she saw the pickled cucumber staining the good drawer, and whispered: "Miss, how can there be a plate of cucumbers here?!"

"If you are not mistaken, it should be what the Yao family has done. Yu Mingzhi closed the drawer, returned to the bed in the back room, and sat on the recliner where Qin Ji slept last night, "No wonder I feel a little strange about my body, they are very cautious." ”

Qi's mother's heart beat like a drum, and she became anxious, "Miss, I'll ask a doctor to take a closer look at you, and then let's quickly tell the master about this, even if the master pampers the lady again, this is a matter of human life, and it can't be scribbled! By the way, let me inform the uncle again?"

Yu Mingzhi waved his hand, "Zhu'er has already done it." She didn't want to say too much to her mother, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Qi's mother was so angry that her eyes were red and she stomped her feet, "What do they want, why does Miss refuse to let you go after so many years of suffering." ”

"Mom, don't be angry. Yu Mingzhi comforted.

Qi's mother still gritted her teeth, "My uncle warned them last time, and I dared to do this, I look good with them." When she married into the Guo family, she was inconsistent with the young lady, the old lady and the old man held you in the palm of their hands, and they didn't give you good food and drink behind their backs, nor did they make new clothes, saying that the girl was at the age of growing her body, and the clothes she made couldn't be worn several times and had to be changed, the old woman actually felt that she was right, and she didn't look at the clothes she made for the second lady, and the two cabinets couldn't fit ......"

She chattered about Yao's various insidious despicability, Yu Mingzhi pinched her eyebrows, pretending to listen, and was actually thinking about something else in her heart.

Among the people closest to Yao's family, only Guo Zeng's has a conflict of interest with her, this woman has resentment and unwillingness in her heart, and she occasionally reveals one or two behind her smiling expression, and she sees it in her eyes. And Guo Zeng's marriage into the Guo family is longer than Yao's, and he must know some secrets.

And Yao was so cautious this time that he even prepared a way out - at the time of the incident, he would find someone to carry the black pot.

This candidate, looking at the entire Guo family, only Guo Zeng's is the most suitable.

Therefore, she wants to "save" Guo Zeng's and then use her to deal with Yao's.
