Chapter Ninety-Five: Drug Testing
I can't and don't want to fight back, but I don't want to do anything, thinking about Mrs. Zhou's methods to deal with the Cen family and Brother Ming, it really makes Su Yiqing feel scared in her heart, like a poisonous snake attached to the shadows, I don't know when it will pounce out and bite her, if she is bitten, she is really unwilling to die like that.
Just when Su Yiqing was worried, a news came, and she suddenly felt that God was sometimes very kind to her.
Mrs. Zhou is sick, and I heard that she is quite sick.
Su Yiqing knew that she shouldn't, but she couldn't suppress the thought in her heart, if Mrs. Zhou was ...... It's a good thing for her.
Xu was suddenly washed away by this bad news because of Su Yiqing's joy of not marrying far away, fortunately, Su Yiqing was named the county lord, and the county lord was out of the cabinet, there are certain exceptions, and there are also special people to take care of family chores, without her being a mother, and Su Yiqing does not need to marry far away, and there are more opportunities to meet in the future, which allows her to serve in front of her mother's bed with peace of mind.
The two mansions are not too far apart, and it takes half an hour to arrive by car, Xu's has been going out early in the morning these days, coming back at night, and even coming back the next day, no one dares to say anything about her, Mrs. Cen has long been careless, and her health has not been very good in the past two years, and she can't manage it if she wants to, Qu is not the kind of person who likes to do things that harm others and is not good for herself, she still has to take care of Su Yirong, Jiang has the heart and the courage to stir up trouble again.
It's just that on this day, after Xu's came back, he changed his clothes a little and went to Su Yiqing's room again, Su Yiqing's wedding date is ten days later, although after getting married, the mother and daughter still have the opportunity to meet, but in the end, it is different, or take advantage of the present to care more about their daughter.
After the mother and daughter chatted a few words, Xu couldn't help but mention Mrs. Zhou, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said: "Your grandmother is not lightly ill, but she still cares about your family affairs very much, and asks about the preparations for the wedding. can only be given secretly, when the time comes, you can take it with you, it is always good for a woman to marry with more private money, this is not counted in the dowry, it is convenient to use. β
As he spoke, Xu took out a small black wooden box, which seemed to contain a silver ticket.
Su Yiqing didn't know what to say, so she had to bow her head and take it, Mrs. Zhou asked her about the wedding preparations one by one, which really made her feel cold, and she didn't know what the old lady wanted to do. In case you really feel like your life is going to be short. Will she make a last ditch effort?
With such concerns. Su Yiqing felt that the small box in her hand had become very hot, and she couldn't listen to what Xu Shi said next, and her mind was full of thoughts. Will the silver ticket contained in this small box be tampered with, such as the martial arts dramas I watched in my previous life, smeared with poison that has been stained with the skin, and she will die if she touches it, or as soon as she opens the box, poisonous smoke or poisonous water and poisonous insects will be sprayed inside......
It's easy to wait until Xu Shi said that he was tired, and he finally left.
Su Yiqing immediately threw the box on the table.
Shuangxi came in with a plate of crispy osmanthus cake and said, "County Lord, this is a freshly made snack from the kitchen. Eat your favorite food with two pieces while it's hot. β
"Put it down. Su Yiqing said softly, what mood is she in to eat now.
"Yes, Lord Shire. When Sungai put down the plate, he saw a small box in the middle of the table and wanted to move it as he could. put the snack plate in, but unexpectedly heard an exclamation.
"Don't move. β
Shuangxi's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, and he looked at Su Yiqing at a loss
Su Yiqing came back to her senses and wanted to explain, but she couldn't find the words for a while, so she simply didn't explain, and said, "I'm suddenly a little uncomfortable, and I don't want to eat snacks, you can take it out." β
"Yes, Lord Shire. Shuangxi saw that Su Yiqing's face was wrong, so he didn't dare to say anything, and retreated with a snack.
Just when Su Yiqing didn't know what to do with this box, Xin'er came in.
Su Yiqing said, "You bring a basin of water and take two chopsticks." β
"Yes, Lord Shire. Xin'er didn't understand what Su Yiqing wanted chopsticks and a basin to do, although these two things were ordinary, but they were a little weird together, given the closest relationship with Su Yiqing, she didn't dare to ask, just go and bring the things.
After bringing the things, Su Yiqing pointed to the small box and said, "Open it." β
"Yes, Lord Shire. Xin'er was about to open it, but Su Yiqing said hurriedly, "Slow." β
Xin'er hurriedly put down the box, but saw Su Yiqing walk to the window, open the window, let the cool breeze blow in, and then said, "It's ready to open." β
Xin'er opened the box as she said, but saw a box full of silver tickets, estimated to be tens of thousands of taels.
Su Yiqing said: "Put a silver ticket in the water, don't hold it with your hands, use chopsticks to hold it." β
Xin'er concocted it in the same way, and after a while, Su Yiqing asked her to take out the silver ticket, and then Su Yiqing stared at her for a long time and asked her if she was uncomfortable?
Su Yiqing walked over slowly, looked at the basin of water, then pulled out the silver hairpin on her head, and stroked a few times in the water, before picking it up and taking a closer look under the lamp.
Xin'er was stunned and watched Su Yiqing's series of actions.
This young lady, no, the county lord is checking whether the silver ticket is poisonous? Even before asking her to open the box just now, the county lord first walked to the window and opened the window, was he afraid that there would be poisonous smoke or poisonous insects in the box jumping out? She just saw that this box was brought by the third lady, and the third lady had just returned from Mrs. Zhou......
Xin'er lowered her head, not daring to look at it again, nor daring to think about it anymore.
"You go out there and catch a random little bug. Su Yiqing ordered again.
"Yes, Lord Shire. Xin'er had been repeating this sentence since just now, and she really had nothing else to say, and she didn't dare to say it.
Soon a live gecko was caught, Su Yiqing poured a little water that had just been soaked in silver into the teacup, and then asked Xin'er to put the gecko into the teacup, cover the lid, and after about a stick of incense, untie the lid, and the gecko quickly and sensitively crawled away.
Xin'er secretly observed Su Yiqing and found that she seemed to be relieved on her face.
At this time, Mama Li's voice came, saying, "County Lord, it's time to rest." β
Mama Li was sent by the palace, originally such a mama was very strict with the daily living requirements of the young ladies, but Su Yiqing's situation is special, everyone is afraid that she will be in love, which is equivalent to falling from the clouds to the bottom, and she is married to a foreigner, and the etiquette is not as strict as Dajing, so just give a little guidance, everyone can get by on the face, and no one can afford to force it too tightly and what happens.
Su Yiqing doesn't like the maid to hang in front of her if she has something to do, on weekdays, she is only one in front of her, and the others are standing outside waiting for the summons, and they can't go in to harass her if they have nothing to do.
Mama Li knew that the relationship between Su Yiqing and Xin'er was not as good as that of the maid next to her, Xin'er had sacrificed her life to protect the master, and sometimes there would be whispers between the young lady and the personal maid, so in order to avoid suspicion, she was also far away, but now that it was getting late, they were still talking, so she reminded her that she couldn't talk for too long, so as not to come from the next day or be out of spirit.
Su Yiqing didn't say anything to Xin'er, put the box away, passed the little maid in to fetch water and freshen up, and then went to bed.
It's Xin'er on duty today, after the lights go out, she sleeps by the window and puts her feet on it, just now she was so shocked that she couldn't sleep, but she couldn't sleep and couldn't turn over and over so as not to make noise with the county lord, so she counted the unknown insect cries outside the window.
"You will find an opportunity to see Mrs. Zhou tomorrow, and tell her everything I did just now, and don't hide a word. A low voice sounded, startling Xin'er, who was concentrating on counting insects, it turned out that the county lord didn't sleep, and then when she understood what the county lord meant, she was suddenly shocked again.
"The county lord, the slave maid ......"
"Shut up, what do you do when I say anything in the future, don't ask more, I don't want to hear you talk nonsense. Su Yiqing's voice was low but with a sternness that could not be refused,
"Yes, Lord Shire. Xin'er knew that her young lady had changed a lot during this time, especially her attitude towards her, she thought that it was just because of Brother Ming'er, and she thought she deserved it, not to mention that Miss was just a little cold, even if she was beaten and scolded at every turn, she had no complaints.
Miss's personality has changed a lot, especially when she looks at people, her eyes are full of defensiveness and suspicion, she can also understand, after all, the sudden change is equivalent to being abandoned by everyone, especially General Zhao, who was so affectionate before, even she was deeply moved, and even she was captured by General Zhao and tortured to extract a confession, she felt that this was the embodiment of General Zhao's intentions for her own young lady, and she was also happy for Miss while suffering, and having such a man to take care of her in the second half of her life is the greatest happiness of a woman.
Unexpectedly, overnight, everything changed, General Zhao didn't even fight for Miss, he easily agreed to marry someone else, ignoring Miss, Miss saved his life, how could this person be so ruthless and unjust?
Miss's attitude towards Mrs. Zhou has also changed obviously, she thought that it was because of the anger of Brother Ming'er's incident, Miss has always been a kind-hearted person, but now it seems that this is not the case?
Miss Niang's behavior just now was obviously a drug test, and she deliberately asked her to sue Mrs. SΓΉ...... What does that mean?
Xin'er didn't dare to think about it.
She couldn't sleep before, and she couldn't sleep anymore.
It's easy to stay up until dawn, Xin'er's eyes are blue and she gets up to serve Su Yiqing to freshen up, while carefully observing Su Yiqing to see if she will change her mind, after all, Mrs. Zhou is seriously ill now, if she hears this, she will be angry, how can this be good.
But no, after breakfast, Su Yiqing pretended to be concerned and said: "Xin'er, I see that your face is very bad, like you didn't sleep well yesterday, you don't have to wait in front of me today, let's rest." β
"Yes, Lord Shire. Xin'er retreated under the watchful eyes of the other little maids, these little maids all wanted to compete for the top position, and they could show their faces in front of the county lord more, and when they went out, others were very envious.
