At this time, Su Ximei had already washed up, leaning on the bed rail and looking at "Domain Chronicles". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When Ling Xiang went into the house to clean before, he saw the "Domain Chronicles" and the rusty blackiron box on the table, thinking that it was an important thing, so he put it away on the head of the bed.

If it were someone else, it might have been thrown away as a tatte.

Although Ling Xiang came from Zhuangzi, she was quite simple and clever, and she liked her very much.

After flipping through it casually, she felt a little sleepy, Su Ximei took the Xuantie box and thought about putting the book in it, but when her eyes fell on this box, there was a trace of curiosity in her heart for no reason.

The iron box is rusty, it looks like it is made of rotten iron, and the bottom of the box is rusty, and there is nothing special about it.

But why did she think the box was important?

Su Ximei thought about it, so she reached out and touched the box, and suddenly felt a little different in the iron sheet at her fingertips, and pressed it down slightly, only to hear a soft crisp sound, and the bottom of the iron box actually bounced up.

The bottom of the tin box was a hidden compartment, which contained a thick stack of paper and a crystal clear Ruyi jade pendant.

Su Ximei was stunned for a moment, and it seemed a little incredible.

The thick stack of paper is not ordinary white paper or abandoned waste paper, but the deed of more than a dozen shops and Zhuangzi in the capital, in addition to these, there is also a stack of silver tickets with the largest ticket number in the Central Plains.

That's amazing!

Even the belongings in this small iron box are not to be underestimated in the capital.

There is also this piece of Ruyi jade pendant, which is priceless at a glance, although it is only engraved with some simple patterns like moire, but it has the atmosphere and magnificence that the general jade pendant does not have.

Judging from the current situation, the box left by the Xie family must not have been known to her father, Su De.

Besides, no one would want to hide such an important thing in this tattered tin box.

The mechanism for opening the dark compartment of this iron box is also very inconspicuous, it is a small piece of rusty iron sheet, this iron sheet is relatively soft than the other iron surfaces of the box, but it is only relative, and it is impossible for ordinary people to notice this slight difference.

What's more, the rusty iron sheet is dirty and ugly, but anyone who has seen it will disdain to touch it, who will really care?

So it's also very cleverly designed.

On the other hand, although the outer layer of the dark layer is rusty iron sheet, another material is used inside, and the Ruyi jade pendant and the house deed are well preserved, neat and clean.

I think Xie has put a lot of thought into it.

But why did Xie do this?

There seems to be too much about Miss Seven's past that she doesn't understand. As long as you think about some things, you will find that they are vague and scattered, as if many years have passed, you can also remember the past, but that thing is just that, and many details are not clear as if they are in a fog.

Or maybe you don't even remember something at all.

It's just that she can't remember it, of course she can't know if she really can't remember, or if Xie has never mentioned that this blackiron box has a secret compartment in front of Miss Seven.

She only knew that Xie was a gentle and beautiful woman who was indisputable.

But he suddenly disappeared seven years ago.

There was some gossip in the house, and Miss Seven was originally not liked by her father because of her appearance, and after Xie's disappearance, her father did not care about her.

Fortunately, she was not kicked out of the house, but her life in the house was difficult.

Su Ximei was silent for a while, and looked beyond the half-open window.

The night is clear and the stars are shining.

It's not too early to think about it.

Su Ximei put the house deed jade pendant back into the dark grid, closed the bottom, and then took the "Domain Chronicles" and put it inside.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Su Ximei's hand holding the "Domain Chronicles" paused lightly, turned her head and looked at the iron box.

Suddenly, there was an extra layer on the bottom of the iron box, and there were ten red pills the size of buttons hidden in the box.

Su Ximei's unwavering eyes showed a slight surprise, but she quickly regained her previous calm.

She put down the book, reached for a pill, took it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it.

As she expected.

Miss Su Qi was not born with this appearance, but was poisoned.

Her skin was dull and her face was covered with fine maroon spots, which were poisoned by long-term use of an herb called paraffin.

Strictly speaking, paraffin red is not a poisonous herb, but has the effect of anti-inflammatory and detoxification, but long-term use will make the liver and spleen accumulate cold and loss, and the complexion will naturally have the appearance of yin deficiency.

And the measles-like dots on her face are the result of an allergy to paraffin saffron pollen.

In her previous life, when she walked with her grandfather, her brother who had a dart game also had this kind of small pockmarks on his face because of the pollen of paraphragm.

At first, she was skeptical, but when she saw the red pill in the blackiron box, she confirmed her guess.

The pill was extracted from the flowers of paraffin, and the two pots of flowers under the eaves were also the most profound medicinal properties of paraphragine.

The paraffin red taste is bitter, astringent, and has a specific smell, which she knows as soon as she smells it.

It's just that why are these pills hidden in the Xie family's dark iron box, and her poison is from the Xie family?

But why? Xie is Miss Su Qi's biological mother!

Su Ximei frowned, looked down at the pills, and then fell on the "Domain Chronicles" on the side for a while, and seemed to come back to her senses.

She put the pills and books in the tin box and put them on the head of the bed, and turned her head to look at the little girl waiting by the bedside.

"Ling Xiang, the two pots of flowers outside the house are too bright, I look at it dazzlingly, so don't stay in the yard." She said, "Don't give it away, just throw it out of the house." ”

The little girl was a little sleepy, her eyelids were fighting, and suddenly she heard Miss Seven's command, and raised her head suddenly.

"Yes." She hurriedly answered, looking at it with her big bright eyes, and suddenly she didn't feel sleepy.

She thinks that Miss Seven is an excellent person to get along with, no matter what other people think, anyway, she thinks so.

So she has long lost her previous timidity, she has the confidence to speak, and her voice is full of confidence.

And he is also extremely attentive to the errand ordered by Miss Seven.

Su Ximei smiled, gathered the quilt and lay down. Ling Xiang extinguished the wick of the candle next to each other, then withdrew and closed the door.

Although this courtyard is not large, there are also ear rooms on both sides of the main house, which is just for the maid to live. She wasn't used to having someone keep a vigil in the house, and she didn't have as many rules as other young ladies.

The maids who had just come to serve in her courtyard felt that they had a good job, so they were more conscientious.

Although Cuiyu's matter made them feel palpitating, they could also see it clearly, Cuiyu was unreasonable, insulting her master and hurting Ling Xiang, if it wasn't for Miss Seven's action to stop her, Ling Xiang would have suffered a lot.

Miss Seven is protecting these subordinates.

As long as they serve the Lord faithfully and do not make mistakes, Miss Seven will be truly good to them.

――――――――――――

At this time, the Furong Pavilion of the Prime Minister's Mansion was brightly lit.

Zheng's face was calm, and Su Xin was also holding her breath.

Since returning from the middle courtyard, the faces of the mother and daughter have been ugly, and the servants in the house have served carefully, for fear of upsetting the eldest lady and the third lady.

"Mother, when did that shameless stinky girl change her temperament? The mouth is very neat, and he is in the limelight in front of his father! Su Xin gritted her teeth and said.

Zheng snorted coldly.

"What if you change your mind?" She said, "How can she get into your father's eyes with her face and without looking in the mirror?" ”

"That's right." The anger on Su Xin's face eased slightly, but after thinking about it, she said with wide eyes, "However, that stinky girl can speak well, and her father asked her to stay for dinner." ”

She was still a little uneasy in her heart.

A hint of disdain flashed in Zheng's eyes.

"If you want to capture your father's heart, it's useless to rely on your sharp teeth." She sneered, "Didn't you listen to her? She put filial piety first, and your father spoke, she is using the east wind to fight the west wind. ”

She has a good reputation, but the seven girls also got what they wanted, didn't she?

Su Xin's eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile appeared on her face.

"So my father only stood up for that stinky girl in front of my mother?" She said, with undisguised excitement in her tone.
