Chapter 17 The puff pastry is poisonous, and it is secretly competitive
"Young Master Rong, you can't break in like this!" Before Xiao Cui's words were finished, she saw a young man dressed in a short suit rushing in, Leng Ruolan shook her head at Xiao Cui behind her and asked her to go down. When Ronghui saw Leng Ruolan, he ran over happily, "Ruolan, I'm back, hey, puff pastry?!" Without waiting for the master's consent, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. Who knew that as soon as it reached his mouth, a Qianqian Su hand slapped over and slapped his hand, and the puff pastry fell to the ground and fell to pieces, "Ruolan, you?!" Ronghui and Xiyu exclaimed at the same time. Rong Hui stared at Leng Ruolan with wide eyes, not understanding why she, who had always been gentle, could make such a move. Xi Yu's eyes were a little more puzzled, could there be something unusual about the puff pastry? But, "Miss, is there anything wrong?" "I've experienced it just now, but I didn't find anything suspicious.
"The aroma has changed," Leng Ruolan muttered out these four words. Just now I looked at the puff pastry that was about to enter the mouth of the man in front of me, my heart jumped for no reason, and before I had time to think, my hand stretched out, and I woke up when I heard the exclamation of the two, looking at the broken puff pastry on the ground, my eyes were a little distant.
"Aroma?" Ronghui picked up a piece again and put it in front of his nose and smelled it, "Is there any difference in the aroma?" No, it's still the fragrance of Longji Bakery. "Miss, doesn't the smell be the same as before?" Xiyu also picked up a piece and sniffed it in front of her nose, she didn't think there was anything wrong, but she was calmer than Ronghui and her tone was more cautious.
"Sister Ruolan, what are you studying? Look so focused! Yu Chi Xuan's voice suddenly interjected, and Leng Ruolan turned their heads to him together, but looked a little uncomfortable at him, "I saw that there was no one outside, so I walked in by myself, if you disturb, Wei Chi is sorry." ”
"It's Ruolan who is wrong, Brother Xuan came to visit, and he didn't go out to greet him. Xiao Cui, don't go outside and keep guard, if there are still guests coming, it seems that I have no rules. ”
"Yes, Miss," Xiao Cui replied, but her eyes peeked at the pot of puff pastry on the table, and she didn't move until Leng Ruolan snorted, and then walked out of the house step by step.
Hearing Leng Ruolan deal with it like this, Yu Chixuan's eyes narrowed, what a smart woman! His gaze met the man who had been staring at him since he came in, "Who is this?" ”
Leng Ruolan saw Wei Chi Xuan asking like this, and she didn't know how to answer, because she didn't know who this man who suddenly appeared was. Ronghui heard Yu Chi Xuan ask about himself, and without waiting for Leng Ruolan to speak, he arched his hand and said, "In Xia Kaiyuan Hall Ronghui, dare to ask Yu Chi what the owner of the village is doing here?" His eyes burned as he stared at Yu Chixuan, full of inquiry.
"Oh, it turned out to be Rong Shaoxia, I wonder what is the matter with Rong Shaoxia coming to find Wei Shaoxia's wife who has not passed the door for a long time?" Wei Chixuan didn't answer Rong Hui's question, but asked him instead.
Rong Hui was a little stunned when he heard the "wife who didn't pass through the door", and looked at Yu Chixuan and Leng Ruolan with a shocked face, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Leng Ruolan was sandwiched between two men, a little confused, she didn't understand the reason why Yu Chi Xuan was suddenly aggressive, and what was the relationship between this man named Ronghui and Leng Ruolan before? As far as the observation of these days, Leng Ruolan is almost an invisible person in the entire Bishui Pavilion, and before the incident of falling into the lake, no one has ever visited the Xiangyuan Garden!
Xi Yu looked back and forth at the three people who suddenly fell silent, and sighed a little, the most important thing now is to find out whether this pot of puff pastry is poisonous or not, not relatively silent here! "Uh, miss, you just said that the aroma of the puff pastry has changed, what is the matter?" Although the appearance of the master of the hall is a little pitiful, now is not the time to accompany him to be sad, and the most important thing is to ensure the safety of the young lady.
Hearing Xiyu mention it, Yu Chixuan also remembered the words he heard when he came in, "Sister Ruolan, what happened?" No longer fighting with Ronghui, he turned his gaze to the pot of puff pastry in their mouths.
Rong Hui also calmed down at this time, turned his gaze to Leng Ruolan, and waited for her to explain what she hadn't said just now. Leng Ruolan suddenly became the focus of the three of them's gaze, a little nervous, "I can't say it, I just think the aroma this time is a little different from last time, uh, it doesn't seem to be so pure." ”
"Pure?" Rong Hui didn't understand, Xi Yu didn't understand, although Yu Chi Xuan didn't say anything, he also had a puzzled expression, as if waiting for her to be more specific.
"Well, I don't know the specifics, it's just a feeling. Since you all think it's okay, it's possible that I smelled it wrong. "I've worked in a cosmetics company for a few years, and I'm particularly sensitive to both fragrance and color. But it's just a pot of snacks, and it's not as strict about the aroma as perfume, and it's still ancient, maybe I'm really too sensitive.
Yu Chixuan didn't say anything, reached out and took out a silver needle and examined it on it, but found nothing abnormal. Xiyu saw that the result was the same as her own, and only then did she say what she had done before, "I have experienced it once before, and I haven't found it poisonous." ”
Leng Ruolan avoided their gaze, "Uh, maybe I really smelled it wrong, ah!" Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly jumped up screaming, his voice full of horror.
Yu Chixuan stretched out his hand to stabilize Leng Ruolan, who was jumping in his direction, looking at her frightened pale face, his heart tightened, "What's wrong?!" "Miss, what's going on?" "Ruolan, are you alright?!" The three of them asked at the same time, and even Xiao Cui outside the door rushed in, and saw that the four of them were standing there well, before patting their chests and walking out again.
Leng Ruolan stretched out her finger and pointed to the floor, hiding her head in Yu Chi Xuan's arms and refusing to come out. Yu Chi Xuan, Rong Hui and Xi Yu followed her gesture and looked at the ground, but they were all shocked to find that the floor was full of ant corpses!
It turned out that the puff pastry that was slapped off by Leng Ruolan from Rong Hui attracted a large number of ants to come to share the food, and fell on the road before it could be evacuated, and the black corpse was centered on the puff pastry, extending outward in layers. The three of them were all frightened by this scene, and they looked at each other for a long time without saying a word.
Later, it was Wei Chi Xuan who calmed down first, helped Leng Ruolan to sit down at the round table in the main hall, turned around and ordered, "Xiyu, you clean up the ground first, and then go make a pot of hot tea." ”
Xiyu woke up from the shock, and looked at Leng Ruolan, whose face was pale, with a worried face, fortunately, there were two owners of Wei Chi Zhuang present today, otherwise the young lady would be scared like this, and there would be no way to deal with the matter. became more and more grateful to Wei Chixuan, and responded respectfully, "Yes," and hurriedly went out to call Xiaocui to come in and clean up the ground together. Xiao Cui saw a layer of black ants covering the ground, her face turned pale, and she was shocked, fortunately, she didn't dare to eat it just now, otherwise she thought of that result, her heart was afraid, patted her chest and pressed it in shock, and quickly helped Xiyu clear the ground.
Rong Hui silently looked at Leng Ruolan, who was trembling beside Yu Chixuan from beginning to end, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. But she should be afraid of such a thing, Wei Chixuan is her future father-in-law, of course she wants to seek his protection, but she can't accept this fact, she always thought that one day Ruolan would understand her heart, but when she went out and came back, she had already been labeled as another man. However, the top priority is to find out who is behind the ghost, thinking that if Ruolan hadn't found out, it would not be an ant that fell to the ground now, but himself, so he was afraid for a while. Who is so vicious?
Xiyu put down the tea, stepped aside and waited, Leng Ruolan watched the heat in the teacup rise in a daze, and her heart slowly calmed down. Looking at the puff pastry that was taken out by Yu Chixuan and put on the table to check carefully, he felt a little dazzling, picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea before suppressing the urge to turn around and leave.
Wei Chixuan didn't see anything wrong after looking at it for a long time, and there was nothing wrong with trying it with a silver needle, if it weren't for the ants in that place, he really didn't believe that this pot of dim sum was poisonous. How did Leng Ruolan see it, based on the aroma she said before? Ronghui also re-researched, as before, he still felt that it was just a pot of puff pastry, and Sister Ruolan could tell if it was poisonous just by that ethereal aroma? Ruolan, who has always felt weak, still has this ability?
"Sister Ruolan, where did this pot of dim sum come from?" Yu Chixuan decided not to explore how Leng Ruolan could see that this pot of dim sum was poisonous, but instead found the murderer first.
"I heard that the dim sum was sent by the fourth sister early in the morning," Leng Ruolan said softly, is it really nothing to do? The day before yesterday, you were so intimate to personally send snacks to share with me in the morning, and today you want to take my life with this little thing?!
"Fourth Miss? Can Ruolan denied the person who had to be sent? Ronghui didn't have much impression of the fourth lady who always followed Mrs. and the other ladies quietly, and he had seen it a few times, and he remembered that she was a weak and silent little girl.
"Because Ruolan got up late today, the dim sum is waiting to be received. Xiyu, you tell the master of Rongtang about the situation at that time. ”
"Yes," Xiyu took a step forward, thought about it for a moment, and said, "Early in the morning, Miss Four's maid Xiaohong came to knock on the door, saying that she was sent puff pastry on the order of Miss Four. Because Miss Four also brought puff pastry two days ago, Xiyu was very happy to see Miss at that time, and made an appointment with Miss Four to buy it next time, and asked the maid to bring an extra one, so she left the things. For the sake of insurance, Xiyu also took a silver needle to inspect it, and found no abnormality, so he dared to bring it in for the young lady to enjoy. ”
It's true that there is no problem with a silver needle, but why do you want to test the dim sum sent by your sister? Ronghui looked at Ruolan in puzzlement, and then at Xiyu, "Why did Xiyu think of testing the poison first?" ”
"The master of Rongtang didn't know, some time ago, the young lady fell into Liuhu for no reason, but fortunately, the owner of the village found out early and saved the young lady's life. Now that the matter has not been clarified, so for the sake of prudence, Xiyu tested the poison first, and hoped that the master of the Rong Hall would understand. ”
"Ruolan fell into Willow Lake?! When was this? Is there a big deal? Rong Hui heard that Leng Ruolan fell into the lake, and he was so nervous that he popped up three questions in a row, and then he stood up and rushed to Leng Ruolan's side left and right to check if there was any damage.
"Master Xie Rong cares, and Brother Xuan comes to the rescue, Ruolan is fine."
Yu Chi Xuan stared coldly at Rong Hui's hand on Leng Ruolan's shoulder, his eyes narrowed slightly, it was really an eyesore! Leng Ruolan also felt a little uncomfortable with Rong Hui's sudden approach, but it was difficult to ask him to go back, so she politely brought the problem over. Rong Hui also felt that he was a little out of shape, since Ruolan was sitting here now, she should know that she was fine, but suddenly knowing that she was in danger, her heart tightened.
