073:Poison Source (2)
Li stood in the courtyard, watching his daughter's movements with some doubts.
What the hell is going on here?
Li has been feeling uneasy these days, she never thought that even if Du Ruo was careful, her daughter would have a poison similar to her husband's body.
She felt terrible.
In the past, she was in the house, and no matter how many concubines her father had, no one dared to be so blatant.
Li felt that he had done something wrong, if he hadn't concealed his life experience at the beginning, his eldest brother would not have thought like this......
She really looked at the Xia family too simply.
Li thought that she could protect herself by being careful, and she never took the words of the third brother to heart, and her third brother told her in the past: "The Xia family is not as simple as you think, are you sure you want to marry?" Xia Fucheng looks good now, but he is a person who can't withstand temptation, he has never seen so many colorful things in the world, who can say that he will not change at all in the future. β
Now that I think about it, the words of the third brother in the past were not bad at all.
Her husband is a person who can't stand the temptation, and the eldest brother only took him to the flower street a few times, and he was deeply addicted to it, which Li never expected.
She always thought that her husband would come back to her in the last day, but it would only take a few days.
One-day, two-day, one-year, ten-year ...... The daughter was about to die, but her husband still had no intention of repenting.
Some things are deep in the bone marrow, and no matter how much time you give them, they won't change back.
Li Shi looked at Cuiliu, lowered his voice and asked, "Did you send the letter I asked you to send?" β
"Sent. Madam, I'll let the Xue family send the ......" Cuiliu glanced around. Notable that no one around noticed her talking, she moved closer to Li's. He said softly, "It will definitely be delivered, don't worry." β
Li nodded, she had to plan for her daughter.
The Yue family has done such a thing, she has to think about her daughter as soon as possible, if this thing can really be done, then her daughter's in-laws will be several times stronger than the Yue family when she comes to Japan.
At this time, Xia Ruan obviously didn't notice that her mother was wrong, she watched Jia Hei take the water out of the well and pour it into the wooden basin, Du Ruo quickly took out the medicinal powder and threw it in.
Xia Ruan has actually been suspicious. There is something wrong with this water.
Liuzi and Jia Hei have been working in the house these days, naturally it is impossible for someone to come in and put poison in their meals, and every time the vegetables and meat sent outside are Du Ruo personally seen, there is no problem. But what can be poisonous in her body? This is obviously not a problem outside, but a problem in the house.
Cuiliu has been by her mother's side for many years, and she treats her as a relative, so naturally there will be no problems. And Jia Hei and Liuzi are together, and the two of them are people who can be trusted by the king's steward, so there won't be much of a problem. But where is the problem?
"Miss, there is no problem with this water......" Du Ruo stood up, his heart was like pressing a big stone, and he was a little out of breath. I ......"
Du Ruo has been tossing in the house for a few days but still hasn't found out what the problem is, and when Xia Ruan mentioned that there was a problem with the well water, of course she showed a sudden expression. But that's not the case today. There was no trace of poison in the water, but if there was nothing wrong with the well water. So what's the problem with poison?
Even Du Ruo felt a little scary, and she had some in her body. She's obviously been carefulβ
Du Ruo didn't tell Xia Ruan about this, but Du Ruo knew that he couldn't hide it from Xia Ruan, because her abnormality in the past few days had already been seen by Xia Ruan. Xia Ruan didn't say it because she took into account her so-called self-esteem, so she didn't want to say it.
Liuzi also frowned and said, "That's weird, Mingming...... I asked my father to send this dish to Zhuangzi, how can there be a problem. β
Jia Hei was also confused at this time, the house has been checking where the drugs are in the past few days, but he can't find these. Jia Hei blamed himself a little, he didn't have to go to the town to sell fish, and he didn't have to worry that the frightened fish couldn't be sold, but now that he came to the house, he found that he was useless at all.
"It's okay, you check ...... slowly" Xia Ruan felt that this time the eldest uncle's mind was too delicate, "This matter can't be rushed." β
Xia Ruan felt a little headache.
At this time, Jia Hei saw that the atmosphere was not good, so he said: "Miss, rest first, you have been busy all day." My sister brought fish yesterday, but it's bigger, I'll make you some soup to drink, you can replenish your body. β
Xia Ruan didn't open his mouth to answer Jia Hei's words.
These days, Jia Hei is busy in the kitchen, and Cuiliu takes Du Ruo to inspect every corner of the yard. Jia Hei's craftsmanship is good, and Steward Wang is also very worried these days, so he has been asking Jia Cui to send vegetables and fish......
Xia Ruan rubbed her eyebrows, she was not in the mood to eat at all. But at this time, Wang San hurriedly trotted in from outside: "Miss, the Xiao family sent someone to deliver something." β
Xia Ruan stood up from the stool in shock, Xiao family?
What did the Xiao family send someone to do at this time?
She pretended to be unhurried, and walked slowly towards the hall.
When he arrived at the hall, Xia Ruan didn't expect to see the old man beside Xiao Shaocheng.
Lao Zhong was speechless when he looked at Xia Ruan, this is the third miss of the Xia family? This...... The corners of Lao Zhong's mouth moved, but he didn't make a sound, how could this be?
Xia Ruan pretended to be calm and smiled faintly: "I've kept you waiting, please take a seat." β
Cuiliu hurriedly brought the tea, she looked at the young lady and Lao Zhong with some curiosity, and both of them seemed to be a little embarrassed.
Lao Zhong actually didn't understand at all at first, why did Aunt Lin and the Third Young Master want him to give gifts.
He was embarrassed to take a few steps back, but did not dare to sit down. He is just a subordinate, how dare he be presumptuous in front of the future 'lady'. Lao Zhong was a little regretful, he couldn't help but want to run back and tell the third young master that the girl he saw in the Du family that day was the third young lady of the Xia family.
When the third young master returned from the countryside that day, he didn't take Du Ming with him, but took some prescriptions with him. Lao Zhong was a little surprised, the third young master did not go to the Xia family's Zhuangzi, he glanced at the third young master with some surprise, and asked: "Third young master, the Xia family's Zhuangzi is in front, do you want to go and have a look?" Aunt Lin also said that the third lady of the Xia family came to Zhuangzi. β
Xiao Jiu smiled lightly, his handsome face was still light, and he showed some confidence. I saw Xiao Jiu's eyes glowing, as if he had heard something funny: "No need, she's fine." β
"Young master, it's better for you to go and have a look." Lao Zhong frowned, somewhat worried, "I look at Aunt Lin and the second master...... And what is spread outside is not credible at all, not to mention how ugly it is to say what you say outside. Although Aunt Lin also said that the third lady of the Xia family was very good, she ...... In Aunt Lin's eyes, which girl is not good. β
Lao Zhong complained a little, and there were many people who proposed marriage over the years, but they were all rejected by Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin said that those girls are not bad, but too good.
Lao Zhong didn't understand what Aunt Lin meant, but he knew that Aunt Lin was not having a good time in the house. When the third young master was born, it happened to be the ninth day of the lunar month, and the old man gave the third young master a name called the ninth day of the first month without thinking about it. Later, the old man felt that the ninth day of the first year was not very good, so he simply let the third young master have a single name of nine characters.
People who don't know the way of Lu still think that the nine characters of the third young master are the ranking of the clan, but in fact, they ......
Lao Zhong also mentioned this matter, and Xiao Jiu was still calm at that time: "Xiao Jiu's name is very good, but if I have the opportunity in the future, I will change my name." The so-called 'Xiao Shao ninety, phoenix to the ceremony'. When I have a chance, maybe I won't be called Xiao Jiu, but Xiao Shaoβ"
Lao Zhong suddenly felt that the third young master's appearance was simply self-degenerate.
Thinking of this, Lao Zhong couldn't help but snort.
Xiao Jiu's smile couldn't help but deepen this time: "She's really nice, it's not the first time I've seen her, it's a pity...... I'm very satisfied with this family business, but her side seems to be more troublesome. β
Lao Zhong didn't talk to his young master anymore, he felt that the third young lady of the Xia family was definitely not much better, not as good as the girl in the Du family just now, at least she looked pure and kind.
After thinking about this, Lao Zhong gathered his mind, and he finally knew what the words of the third young master of the Dao Dao meant that day.
He really underestimated his own young master, maybe the family affair that Aunt Lin refused in the past was also the third young master's own idea.
"Third Miss, my Aunt Lin asked me to send some medicinal herbs over, and the third young master also sent some materials, I hope you like it." Lao Zhong finished saluting Xia Ruan, and then instructed the servants behind him to put the things on the table, "Third Miss, please be sure to accept it." β
Xia Ruan was somewhat hesitant, since she knew that Xiao Jiu was Xiao Shaocheng, she had eased up until now.
She was stunned, but still refused softly: "Xie Lu, Aunt Xie Lin and the third young master's kindness, it's just that I can't accept this thing, after all, it's ......"
"Third Miss, let the old slave say a word." Lao Zhong interrupted Xia Ruan's words, but he admired the Third Young Master a little in his heart, because the Third Young Master would actually guess that Xia Ruan would refuse to accept these things. So he repeated what the third young master brought to Xia Ruan, "The third young master asked me to bring you a message, saying that he went to Zhuangzi to see it, and asked you to tell the uncle that the scenery on the Zhuangzi is very good, and the fish of the Jia family is delicious." β
When Xia Ruan heard this, the teacup in his hand almost fell off.
How did he know this?
No, noβXia Ruan was a little panicked.
Her mind was in a mess, this person actually knew what she was busy with recently, she glanced at Jia Hei, then stood up and said to Du Ruo beside her: "Go, hurry up and go to the kitchen to see if the fish sent from the countryside is poisonous, hurry up." β
As soon as Xia Ruan's words came out, the people in the room fell silent. (To be continued......)
