348: Xiang Ke
Some men are born with disdain to be like women, who are careful about trivial things, and even more so in everything.
Like her father.
Xia Ruan sighed inwardly, feeling that Nan Xiao's back house was really too messy.
It's not that she hasn't seen intrigue, but in the past, Mrs. Yue was absolutely not going to let Yahuan, who could hurt her children, stay in the house.
Even if Mrs. Yue hated Tang Jingfan very much at the beginning, she did not let Tang Jingfan fall to this.
Therefore, Xia Ruan didn't understand whether Aunt Lin really didn't know this, or if there were other reasons.
But doesn't the husband know any of this either?
After Xia Ruan stopped, Duran couldn't help but wonder: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xia Ruan didn't answer Duran's words, but felt that the mystery in his heart was getting bigger and bigger day by day.
After half a ring, Xia Ruan said, "Go and ask your sister and father to wait for me in the Xiyue Pavilion." ”
Although Duran didn't know why Xia Ruan said this, he still nodded obediently.
Duran was just about to leave, but Xia Ruan told again, "Don't let other subordinates follow, no one can." ”
"The slave knows." Duran's movements this time were very fast, and he disappeared in front of Xia Ruan's eyes in a blink of an eye.
Xia Ruan clutched his clothes tightly, and after Nan Xiao was burned by the fire, he burned a lot of slaves to death. But none of them should have been burned. For example, these subordinates, who are more vicious than the other, are still alive and well.
Her husband is a good and eye-catching man, and it is normal for a lot of maids to want to climb into his bed. There are many people in the world who love vanity. And there is the one who is always high and unstained with dust. Moreover, her husband's face, even if he can't stand at this height, just an ordinary young master can already make these maids tempted.
It's just that these maids, all of whom are from the Lin family, almost still have dealings with Miss Biao in the past.
Xia Ruan thought carefully for a long time, but she couldn't figure out what this Miss Cousin thought.
If Miss Biao has Xiao Jiu in her heart. But why did Miss Biao secretly instruct these maids to climb onto Xiao Jiu's bed. If you really love a man. I can't wait to stay with this man, how can I let this man out easily?
If not, then why?
Xia Ruan slowly walked towards the Xiyue Pavilion, and the scenery on the road did not make her half interested. A cold wind blew. Xia Ruan subconsciously couldn't help but pull the cloak on his body. Cover your lower abdomen. She couldn't help but laugh. Thinking of the child in the womb, I felt that the original depressed mood was a little better.
In this back house, she wants to protect her husband and the child in her womb. You can never be that kind-hearted person.
Duran once kindly brought back fennel, which was about to freeze to death, but was used by fennel.
She also knew that there was a kind-hearted old man in Zhuangzi in Danyang County who brought back the child bitten by the beast and saved the child. As a result, as soon as the child's wound was healed, he stole the old man's silver and put arsenic in the old man's meal. By the time the people around him found the old man, he was already rotting all over his body and was unrecognizable.
At that time, some people cried and said why such a good person as the old man had to die.
When she heard this, there was nothing she couldn't understand.
In this world, if you want to be a good person, you must think that you will be betrayed and deceived.
Just like when she gave everything, she was almost risking her life to love Xia Wen, but Xia Wen took her husband.
Therefore, in this life, she can't be kind.
When Xia Ruan arrived at the Xiyue Pavilion, Du Ming and Du Ruo were already waiting in the pavilion, and Du Lan saw her coming, so he hurriedly greeted her.
Duran smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, I just went to find my sister and father, and I found them not far away, and there was no one following us." ”
Xia Ruan nodded: "Duran, you go and stand outside the pavilion, if someone comes, remember to cough loudly." ”
Duran helped Xia Ruan into the pavilion, and then took out the sheepskin and put it on the cold stone bench before saying, "The slave knows." ”
After saying that, Duran walked towards the outside of the pavilion.
After Xia Ruan sat down, Du Ruo hurriedly approached and said to Xia Ruan: "Madam." ”
"Have you checked the tea just now? Any questions? Xia Ruan's brows furrowed terribly, she always felt that Xiao Yixue's condition would not change so quickly, and she was talking to her with a smile just now, why did she feel as if she was possessed by something for a moment, and the words in her mouth were also a little strange. She asked Du Ruo to look at this tea, because she was afraid that there was something wrong with the contents of this tea.
Du Ming sighed on the side: "Madam, this tea can change the medicinal properties. The old slave had told Miss Xuanying before that she should never give tea to Miss Fourth within half an hour before and after the medicine. The old slave has been wondering why these medicines have not worked, but the fourth lady's condition is getting worse and worse. Fear...... It's also this tea that has a problem. ”
After Xia Ruan heard this, the hand that was originally placed on his lower abdomen suddenly froze.
"There's nothing wrong with the tea, it's just that it's three times stronger than what ordinary people drink." Du Ruo replied to Xia Ruan honestly, "Daddy also said that although this tea is a good thing, some teas can change the medicinal properties. And the fourth lady still uses such a strong tea, it is possible that the medicinal properties will become something else. Madam, as a doctor, the slave maid does not approve of using tea after using decoction, this ...... In this way, even if the properties of the medicine are not changed, the properties of the medicine will be weakened a lot. ”
Du Ruo never thought that the problem was here.
When she went out with the tea just now, she found a remote corner and took out the tea, and then put a silver needle to test for poison. As a result, there was no problem with the tea, and it didn't look like someone had put poison, and she was a little surprised. Madame is not a suspicious person, why would she let her come to see this tea in person.
Du Ruo took a sip of tea, and the strong aroma of tea almost made her vomit.
Who can drink such tea.
She remembered that when the fourth lady drank tea just now, although her brows were slightly porridged, she still didn't say anything, just drank the tea in one go.
She remembered that her father had told her to tell the sick not to drink the decoction and drink tea because they were afraid of bitterness. This is a big no-no for taking medicine......
When Du Ruo saw the tea in his hand, he began to suspect that Xuanying actually understood this.
So these days, even if my father is completely sure that he can cure Miss Four's condition, it still hasn't made Miss Four much better.
She never doubted her father's medical skills, she grew up with her father, and she knew better than anyone what kind of person his father was. Now that her father said that she could cure the fourth lady's illness, she believed that her father would never say anything. Du Ruo had a little more heart, she saw that Xia Ruan had not yet come out of the fourth lady's house, so she ran to the kitchen alone to ask.
Sure enough, as Xia Ruan expected, the small kitchen sent the soup medicine to the courtyard of the fourth lady, and less than half an hour passed.
"The slave went to the small kitchen to ask, and the cook in the small kitchen said that Xuanying took the decoction from the small kitchen in less than half an hour." Du Ruo repeated what he heard, "Moreover, the tea used in the courtyard of the fourth lady is also surprisingly large. So the cook was also a little strange, she thought it was the slave who didn't have long eyes, and stole the tea leaves from the fourth lady. ”
The appearance of the cook, thinking that Du Ruo had come to interrogate about the tea, knelt on the ground in fright and said that she had never taken the tea of the fourth lady.
Du Ruo naturally took out the majesty of her eldest girl at that time, and said to the cook: "Don't tell outsiders about today's events, otherwise, if Master Hou knows who is talking nonsense behind his back, then you will be the second Chun'er." ”
The cook was paralyzed with fright, and promised that she would not tell her conversation with Du Ruo when she died.
Du Ruo sealed the mouth of the cook, and only then did he dare to leave with peace of mind.
As soon as she reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw her father coming out of it.
My father's face was so sad that he kept saying, "How can it be so strange, it's really strange." ”
"Daddy, what's wrong?" Du Ruo greeted her, she saw her father's strange appearance, "Is something wrong with the fourth lady?" Or is something wrong with Madame? ”
Du Ruo subconsciously wanted to run towards the yard, she was afraid that Xia Ruan would have any accidents. After all, Xiao Yixue is a patient, if Xiao Yixue attacks Xia Ruan and hurts the child in Xia Ruan's belly, it will not be easy to do.
Du Ming hurriedly stopped Du Ruo: "You girl, now you are all mothers, and you are still so reckless." Madame is fine, and Miss Fourth is fine, it's just ...... Miss Four's condition is too strange. Ruo'er, do you say that the medicinal materials sent by Hou Ye are fake? ”
Du Ming's words made Du Ruo couldn't help laughing.
The medicinal materials sent here by the Marquis of Chang'an were all personally selected by her and her wife, so how could there be fake?
She has been with her father for many years, and she still has the ability to distinguish medicinal herbs, so she believes that there are absolutely no fake medicinal herbs sent here.
Du Ming laughed when he saw his daughter, and he also knew that he had said the wrong thing, who had the courage to send fake medicinal materials to Xiao Jiu and Xia Ruan's eyes? Isn't this asking for trouble?
Seeing his father's appearance, Du Ruo wondered: "Father, do you think something is wrong?" The daughter also seems to have noticed something. ”
"It shouldn't be like this, Miss Four's condition shouldn't be like this." Du Ming chattered once and kept shaking his head, "If Fourth Miss takes the medicine I prescribed on time, it stands to reason that her mind will definitely not become what it is now." But since the days when Hou Ye came to Zhuangzi became less and less, the condition of the four young ladies became more and more serious. How could this be? There is nothing wrong with these medicines, and I have deliberately turned over a lot of medical books, which should be like this. ”
Du Ming's words made Du Ruo's heart start to mess up.
Could it be that someone really did something to make Miss Four like this? (To be continued.)
