On the last day of July, it was so hot and humid that it had not rained for a few days, it was dry and dry, and the willow leaves in the garden were rolled up as if they were burnt by the sun, and the gardenias, which had bloomed in the past, were also fragrant and beautiful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qian Yuning was taking a nap in the house, even if she laid out the mat, she still felt like a fire, sweat kept coming out, Xiaoman sat on the edge of the bed and kept fanning her, and the string of magnolia hanging on the bedside also lost the water spirit when she picked it off in the morning, and the petals softened one by one, and it didn't smell good.

Qian Yuning fell asleep in a daze, feeling that she couldn't fall asleep no matter what, she was very irritable, and her head began to hurt again.

"Auntie, aunt!" Mama Liu's voice came from outside, Xiaoman went over to open the door, and Mama Liu looked mysterious when she came in, her eyes deliberately squeezed at Qian Yuning twice, and she said, "Auntie, here." ”

Qian Yuning estimated as soon as she came in, and at this moment she got up, Mama Liu came forward to help get dressed, sat in front of the dresser, Lichun came forward to comb her hair, she asked, "Where is it?" ”

Mama Liu said: "I'm coming back soon, the slave maid and Mama Sun have been waking up these days, everyone is taking a nap today, Mama Sun and I were planning to sleep too, but I didn't expect to see her open the door and go out quietly." We followed her all the way to the west corner of the plum garden, and saw a person who looked like a maid waiting there, too far away to see who it was, but it seemed to be the maid of the Dawn Pavilion. The slave told Grandma Sun to be careful, hide in the dark and watch, and come back first. ”

"Okay." Qian Yuning looked at the combed cloud bun in the mirror, reached out and took out a phoenix bead gold hairpin in the jewelry box, put it on the bun, got up and walked out.

When I got to the yard, I walked to the edge of the courtyard gate to take a look, this door was really hidden, Qian Yuning asked Xiaoman to bring a rattan chair, and sat under the osmanthus tree not far from the courtyard gate.

Qian Yuning called Dongxue again and stood aside, Dongxue asked what was wrong, and Mama Liu said: "Ask so much what to do, you just stand here." So Dongxue didn't dare to ask again, stood aside obediently, and took a moment to throw a questioning look at Xiaoman, Xiaoman shook his head, saying that he didn't know.

In this way, Qian Yuning slowly drank tea and waited, she was actually a little flustered in her heart, but she just had to be stable in front of the minions, even if she had no bottom in her heart, she couldn't show it.

To be honest, she didn't want to suspect anyone, but after Xiangmo's incident, she had to take precautions, for the safety of the people in this yard, for herself and her two children, no matter what, she had to make sure that everyone around her was reliable.

After asking the two grandmothers to observe for so long, I thought it was okay, but I didn't want to, there is still one, Xia Ying, Xia Ying, if you do something against the Lord, how can I tolerate you?

and Zhu Rong, originally thought that she and her two wells would not violate the river water, and didn't want her to really do it to herself, it seems that she can't blindly tolerate it, if she is as stupid as usual, the two children are still so young, Qian Yuning can't imagine it anymore, if she has a case, what will happen to the two children!

Thinking about it, there was movement on the door, Qian Yuning's eyes looked over at once, squeaked, the door opened, Xia Ying flashed inside, just wanted to turn around and close the door, but felt that it was wrong, looking at the aunt who was sitting on a chair drinking tea under the osmanthus tree on the side, she was a little panicked all of a sudden, and her intuition made her turn around and want to open the door again to go out, but the door opened by itself, and Grandma Sun came in from the door, turned around and tied the door all of a sudden.

Tie to the door, Grandma Sun turned around and leaned her back against the door panel, and asked with a smile: "Miss Xia Ying, where are you going?" ”

"Xia Ying, come here." Qian Yuning, who was sitting under the osmanthus tree, raised a hand, and the ice silk blue brocade on her hand slid down to her elbow, revealing a snow-white Hao wrist, and the two green jade bracelets on Hao's wrist lined her smile, which was very good-looking.

"Auntie!?" Xia Ying hesitated and slowly moved over, saluted and said, "It's hot today, why did my aunt come out at noon, be careful to sunburn." While taking the fan that Xiao Man was fanning Qian Yuning in his hand, he fanned her diligently.

Qian Yuning looked at her, put a smile on her face, and said to her seriously: "Yes, it's really hot today, I don't know what you're doing when you go out for so long, Miss Xia Ying?" Don't get hot, this thin skin and tender meat, if you get sunburned in the sun, how can it be good! ”

Xia Ying's face turned pale all of a sudden, the fan in her hand was not steady, and she fell to the ground with a "snap", she knelt down all of a sudden, and said: "Auntie, slave maid, slave maid is looking at the hot weather today, and I want to go to the big kitchen to bring my aunt a bowl of chilled lotus seed soup back, but it's too late, and the big kitchen says no." Auntie, the slave Ming'er will definitely bring it back to you. She raised her face, looked at Qian Yuning with a pair of eyes, and said pleadingly.

Qian Yuning suddenly stood up and said to Liu Sun's two grandmothers and Xiaoman and Dongxue on the side: "Tie up Xia Ying for me and search my body." "She didn't want to play word games with her anymore, and now she wanted to know if she had betrayed herself.

Liu Sun and the two grandmothers had already prepared, and the two of them joined forces, one in front and one behind, and suddenly pounced on Xia Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted to Dongxue, who was still in a daze: "What are you still doing stupidly, why don't you go get the rope quickly." ”

Dongxue was a little scared, and a little hesitant, she was stunned for a while, seeing Xia Ying struggling, the two grandmothers couldn't hold it down, Qian Yuning went up and opened a bow left and right in her face, "Papapapa!" The four slaps shook it hard, so that she was dizzy all of a sudden, and she didn't dare to struggle anymore, but instead shouted and cried loudly, Qian Yuning grabbed her wrong hair with her hand, and shouted to Xiao Man on the side: "Xiao Man, go get the rope." Xiao Man woke up like a dream, struck a spirit, immediately turned around and ran into the house, and after a while came out with a thick hemp rope.

Several people worked together to tie up Xia Ying, and Qian Yuning saw that she had finally been restrained, so she sat down with confidence and instructed Liu Sun and the two grandmothers: "Search for me." ”

The two grandmothers rummaged around Xia Ying for a while, and after a while, they found two bags of things, as well as three gold ingots and one tael, a golden hairpin, and a pair of jade bracelets.

Qian Yuning immediately ordered Mama Liu to open the two cloth-wrapped things to see, Mama Liu opened it carefully, looked at it, there was another layer, and then opened it, only to see that it was full of black powder, she carefully took it, Qian Yuning smelled it, it was the smell of medicine.

"Humph!" Qian Yuning took the golden hairpin and jade bracelet in her hand and looked at it, then handed it to Xia Ying and asked, "Miss Xia Ying, what is this?" I really can't see it, you still have this ability, it seems that you have grown up, and you know that you have saved a dowry. ”

Xia Ying stopped screaming at this time, with four red slap prints on her white and tender face, and said in her mouth: "This, this was picked up by the slave maid on the road, and I wanted to give it to my aunt when I came back, but I didn't expect it to be discovered by my aunt before I had time to hand it over to my aunt." ”

Qian Yuning said with a smile: "Miss Xia Ying, good luck, there are so many minions in the house, and you have picked up so many good things for nothing, so what is this?" Qian Yuning handed over the things in his hand to Mama Sun to hold, and reached out to take the two packets of medicinal powder and three gold ingots in Mama Liu's hand, handed them to her and asked.

Xia Ying lowered her head with a white face, and said in a low voice: "These are all picked up, auntie, you believe me, now that my aunt has searched it, even if the slave and maid are handed in, please let the slave and maid go!" ”

"Let you go." Qian Yuning lifted her chin with her hand, looked at her with her eyes and said, "Tell me quickly, what is this medicinal powder?" Who told you to do this? ”

Xia Ying opened her eyes, looked to the side, and begged bitterly: "Auntie spare the slave maid, the slave maid really doesn't know what you are talking about, these are all picked up by the slave maid, how can you know what is inside!" ”

Qian Yuning looked at the medicinal powder in his hand, was ruthless, and said, "Don't say yes, okay, okay, okay, Mama Liu, bring me a bowl of water and pour this packet of medicinal powder into her." ”

"Ahh Don't, auntie, don't! Slaves and maids don't eat it, don't want it! Auntie, slave begs you. Xia Ying screamed in horror, looking at the medicinal powder in her hand, looking terrified.

She reacted like this, Qian Yuning's heart tightened even more, this medicinal powder must be very poisonous, otherwise how could Xia Ying be so afraid! She pursed her mouth tightly, and a frenzied thought rose in her heart, wanting to run to the Dawn Pavilion immediately and pour this packet of medicinal powder into the mouth of Zhu Rong's slut, she dared to want to harm herself and her children, and even bought off the maid in her yard.

Mama Liu quickly brought water, Qian Yuning asked her to pour half of the packet of medicinal powder into it with a cold face, and then told Xiao Man to go to the small garden behind to catch a rabbit, these rabbits were originally raised to tease the two children, but now they can only catch one first to kill chickens and monkeys.

Xiaoman quickly grabbed a long-eared white-haired rabbit of about two catties, Qian Yuning asked Mama Liu to pour the water with medicinal powder in the bowl to the rabbit, and after a while, the rabbit foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground and kept twitching, and the foam in the mouth spit and spit turned into blood donation, and after a few minutes, the rabbit finally stopped moving and died.

Qian Yuning raised his head and looked at Xia Ying and said, "If you don't say it, you will pour it down for you." ”

Xia Ying was already paralyzed with fright when the rabbit fell to the ground and convulsed, she was now sleeping on the ground, looking at Qian Yuning with tears in her eyes and said, "Auntie, I said, don't kill me, don't kill me." ”

"Say!" Qian Yuning roared angrily.

Xia Ying's body trembled, and she cried and said: "These things were given to me by Chunxiu next to the second lady, and said, saying that I should put the medicinal powder in the meals of Aunt Xiangshu and Yin'er, and I can cover my fingernails every day." Auntie, the slave didn't think about harming you! The slave maid was provoked by Chunxiu, and the ghost was confused, and she thought that Aunt Xiangshu was already like that anyway, and it would only drag down Aunt Xiang in our Bicui Garden, so she agreed. If she asks me to harm my aunt, the slave and maid will not want to die even if they die, auntie, spare the slave and maid, the slave and maid have never thought of harming you, spare the slave and maid! Xia Ying said vigorously to spare her, so frightened that the urine came out, only to see a wet mark on her skirt, and in the hot weather, a pungent smell of urine filled the air.

Qian Yuning said angrily: "What a loyal servant, it turns out that I don't know, you are thinking about me like this, so I have to thank you for your grace of not killing." ”

At this time, suddenly a black-clothed and black-faced person flashed in front of everyone's eyes, rushed forward and kicked Xia Ying on the ground twice, and then squatted down to slap her in the face, beating and scolding: "Stinky ****, stinky girl, you slut, you want to harm me, you can't die well, you want to go to eighteen layers of hell, I will kill you, I will kill you." ”

It turned out that the person who rushed out was Xiangshu, she heard movement in the yard, so she leaned on the door to watch the excitement, but she didn't come out, she hadn't been out of the house since she lived in Bicui Garden, she didn't go out of the room, probably because her face was burned, and she rushed out because she heard Xia Ying's words, so she couldn't help but rush out.

She slapped Xia Ying's beautiful face fiercely, almost breaking her flesh and skin, but she was still angry, and even began to scratch with the nails on her hands, only to see her sneering with her weird voice, and slowly grabbed Xia Ying's face from the forehead, and after a while, Xia Ying's entire face was unrecognizable, one by one blood marks, which made people look shocking, plus the old man who was swollen and swollen just now, it was already a blur of flesh and blood at this time.

And Xia Ying also fainted in pain, Xiangshu saw that she fainted, so she got up, kicked Xia Ying who fainted twice, turned around, and looked at Qian Yuning, who also had a bad face, and said predictably: "See, don't you check quickly, if these girls are okay, if they are like such a cheap maid who betrays the master, just drag them out and kill them, so as not to affect me." With a face burning like a ghost, she raised her hand and pointed to Xiao Man and Dongxue, who were standing stupidly like wooden stakes next to her.

After finishing speaking, Xiangshu walked back indifferently, her hands were covered with blood, and the skin and flesh on Xia Ying's face were embedded in her ten fingernails, which looked extremely terrifying with her ghost-like face and expression. (To be continued.) )
