Xia Ruan yawned, feeling a slight sourness in his eyes.

She had just had dinner and was sitting in the room doing some light needlework.

On the pine table beside her sat a plate of cleaned mulberries.

Xia Ruan likes such a quiet day very much.

A few days ago, Xia Qinghe would always come to her, glaring at her at every turn, and occasionally scolding her angrily.

However, Xia Qinghe's life is not much better.

Listening to the mother-in-law in the eldest uncle's house, Xia Qingya and Xia Qinghe fought like black-eyed chickens all day long.

She only took it as a joke and didn't pay much attention to it, because she was paying attention to something else.

"Miss, would you like to rest early?" Du Ruo fiddled with the wick and persuaded again, "You're too tired these days. ”

Xia Ruan glanced at Du Ruo and smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's just that there are more flowers and plants in this yard, and it's time to find someone to help clean up." ”

Recently, the pots of camellia sent by Xiao Jiu were more attractive than the other, and she couldn't take her eyes off what she liked, so she didn't refuse. I have to say that Xiao Jiu understands what she likes too well, and what he gives always attracts her, so she will accept it every time.

And what surprised Xia Ruan the most was that the mulberries sent by Xiao Jiu in the past few days were all about to be ripe, but they were still a little bit away. She was a little curious, what did Xiao Jiu mean by this?

"No need, Miss, let's take care of the slave's sister." Du Ruo frowned, and had some scruples in his heart, "In the past, my father's herbs were all taken care of by my sister, and she knew this." And. Some flowers and plants are poisonous, and slaves and maids are afraid of ......"

Xia Ruan's smile couldn't help but deepen. She had worried about anyone, but she had never worried about Xiao Jiu.

Xia Ruan wanted to explain. Then I heard a knock at the door.

"Who?" Du Ruo walked to the door and asked softly.

At this time, a familiar voice came from outside: "Miss, it's me, the sixth son." ”

Du Ruo glanced at Xia Ruan with some astonishment, only to see Xia Ruan nodding before opening the door and letting Liuzi in.

Who knew that after the sixth son came in, he looked at Du Ruo and smiled, and Du Ruo and Xia Ruan were a little inexplicable in this smile.

Many times, the sixth son didn't take much care in front of Du Ruo and Xia Ruan, because he used to be a person who walked on the rivers and lakes, so it would take some time to learn the rules. Xia Ruan didn't pay attention to this. After all, Liuzi is a smart person, and he will pay attention to these in front of outsiders, but he will be presumptuous in private.

Xia Ruan smiled, feeling that this was harmless.

"Don't laugh, it's just out of order." Du Ruo softly reprimanded the six sons, these six sons, like her sister, are too simple in many times, and she sometimes says a few words. Miss doesn't care, but the next person is the next person after all. If it's like this outside, isn't it a joke for people to see the young lady? Thinking of this, Du Ruo asked again, "It's already late at night." What are you here to do? ”

Liuzi glanced at Du Ruo and scratched his head a little embarrassed.

The matter between Du Ruo and Liuzi was solved when they were in the village, and Liuzi personally came to apologize to Du Mingdao. He also insisted on kneeling outside the door for a few hours. Du Ming forgave the sixth son with a smile at that time, which made the sixth son even more unhappy. Because he didn't know until later. His brother's death really had nothing to do with Du Ming, and he almost forced Du Ming to death.

Some things look at it from a different angle. Maybe it's another story.

Xia Ruan waited for the six sons to stop laughing, and then asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

Liuzi smiled, and then lowered his voice: "Miss, this is ...... There's movement. ”

Xia Ruan nodded when he heard this, and was very satisfied with the news brought by Liuzi.

It seems that someone will really do this for her, and do it better than her, without ruining her reputation. She just needs to pay attention to it every day to get the best answer.

Du Ruo saw that Xia Ruan didn't speak, thinking that Xia Ruan didn't understand, so she couldn't help but ask: "Sixth brother, you can make this matter clearer." ”

When the sixth son heard this, he quickly recovered from the intoxication and smugness.

Speaking of which, he has been listening to Xia Ruan's words these days, and asked his friends in the rivers and lakes to help him pay attention to his uncle's movements. He has walked the rivers and lakes all these years, and he has nothing else, but he has a lot of friends, so it is easy for him to do this thing. What makes the six sons happiest is that those of them who walk the rivers and lakes generally use the silver in their hands relatively tightly, so many times they really become 'heroes who are hard to beat a penny'.

However, Xia Ruan was very generous, and he would not frown when he gave the silver. When he asked for the silver, Xia Ruan would never ask him where the silver had been spent in the past, which made the sixth son very grateful for Xia Ruan's trust. It's just that he was very embarrassed many times, and would write down where the money was used and ask Du Ruo to hand it to Xia Ruan.

It's just that Du Ruo told him that Xia Ruan basically didn't look at the account book, and even if he did, he only flipped through it roughly, and never complained about it. This made the sixth son even more desperate, and he wanted Xia Ruan's trust to be right.

"The Chi family hasn't been out of the gate for the past few days, and it is said that he is with the uncle, and he ......," the sixth son almost laughed when he said this, "Just now, it is said that Gu Zi hurriedly drove the carriage back to the house, not in the courtyard on the outskirts of the city. ”

Du Ruo still didn't understand Liuzi's words, but she began to think about it in her heart.

Uncle has an outer room outside, and she has always been aware of it.

A few days ago, the young lady asked the sixth son to arrange for the people of the Chi family to cry in front of the uncle, and the uncle was soft-hearted for a while, so he asked the people of the Chi family to send vegetables and meat to the house, so that they could earn some money to subsidize the family. Although this Chi Xiaolu is the uncle's outer room, with a long flower and moon appearance, she is not a good stubble, in the uncle's outer rooms, she is more favored.

A few days ago, he and Liuzi had no intention of talking about Chi Xiaolu, and Liuzi said to Du Ruo proudly: "Sister Du Ruo, let me tell you this Chi Xiaolu, even if you are pregnant?" It is bad luck to do such a thing that loses conscience. ”

At that time, although she didn't understand the meaning of Liuzi's words, she also guessed a few points.

This Chi Xiaolu is going to have an accident.

"Miss, I look at Doctor Wu's appearance, I'm afraid this Chi Xiaolu is ......" Speaking of this, Liuzi's voice lowered a little more, "The mother-in-law who served in the courtyard said that by the uncle's side, a few bottles of medicine were found. ”

As he spoke, Liuzi took out the porcelain vase from his cuff, but it was a simple blue and white porcelain vase, and there was nothing unusual from the outside.

Du Ruo took it, somewhat puzzled in his eyes.

She slowly opened the medicine bottle, poured out a few pills from it, put it to her mouth and smelled it, and couldn't help but bite it again, and her face suddenly changed greatly.

Du Ruo panicked, hurriedly threw away the porcelain bottle in his hand, and hurriedly rushed to Xia Ruan's side, and poured a cup of tea for himself with a little trembling hands.

Her movements were too excited, coupled with her pale expression, which made Xia Ruan ask nervously: "Du Ruo, you are fine, right?" ”

After drinking a few cups of tea in a row, Du Ruo's face eased a little.

The sixth son on the side was also frightened, he squatted down and picked up the porcelain bottle that Du Ruo threw on the ground, and his eyes were even more puzzled: "Is this poison?" If it's really poison, it's really done. ”

Du Ruo slowed down for a while before she slowly calmed down, and she couldn't blame her for being so out of shape just now, but this medicine......

"Miss." Du Ruo called Xia Ruan, and cold sweat broke out in his palms, "This ...... This...... This is a cold food powder. ”

Xia Ruan's expression didn't change much, as if she had already known everything, but she just nodded and comforted Du Ruo: "You don't have anything to do, right?" If you feel uncomfortable, grab some medicine and come back to take it, you should be careful about this medicine. ”

Du Ruo shook her head, she reacted quickly just now, and after smelling it, she didn't feel at ease, so she tasted it again. But after tasting it, she completely regretted it, where can she try this cold food scatter casually, thinking of this, she couldn't help but lower her head and blushed.

Xia Ruan didn't notice Du Ruo's expression, but just asked Liuzi, "You just said that Gu Zi brought Uncle back?" ”

"Yes, I'm afraid I'm going to the doctor again." The sixth son thought for a while, then looked at Du Ruo and said, "Maybe someone will be sent to invite Miss Du Ruo later." ”

When the sixth son said this, he said it with some pride.

Xia Ruan smiled and wrung up a mulberry from the table, but this mulberry was not black, obviously only seven points ripe.

"It's coming, it's just ......" Xia Ruan sighed, "If someone comes to pass the word later, don't let them come in so easily, just say I'm asleep." ”

Although the sixth son was stupid, he now understood the meaning of Xia Ruan's words.

They never asked what the young lady asked them to do, because the young lady had her own reasons.

After the sixth son retreated, Du Ruocai glanced at Xia Ruan worriedly: "Miss, do you really want the slave to go?" This poison, if it is not deep, can still be solved. ”

"Of course you have to go, you can't let the eldest uncle die like this." After Xia Ruan put down the mulberry in his hand, he lost his appetite for some reason, "I heard that some people will have a stroke if they take Cold Food Powder, Du Ruo I think my uncle will definitely not die, but he will have a stroke." ”

Du Ruo has been by Xia Ruan's side these days, although she doesn't know what this young lady is thinking from time to time, but this time she understands what she said.

She replied affirmatively: "The slave will definitely treat the uncle with her heart, miss, don't worry." ”

Xia Ruan smiled with satisfaction.

Life is worse than death is the most painful, especially for someone as untouchable as the eldest uncle.

It's just that she is not merciful, because the great uncle must die.

It's just that another person is asked to end the life of the eldest uncle, and this person obviously can't be the eldest aunt.

Sure enough, just a short time later, I heard a lot of noise outside the house, and Zhao's crying voice could be heard among them.

Xia Ruan looked at Du Ruo and smiled lightly: "Let's go, I'm going to work hard for you again today." (To be continued......)
