Chapter 238: The Beginning of the Bureau

A normal meal, a small bowl of white rice, a large bowl of fish broth, a plate of stir-fried meat, and a few greens plus pickled delicate side dishes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as a few dishes were placed, Wu Tianrou nodded with satisfaction. Now that it is winter, green vegetables are rare, but fortunately, the Wu family has its own greenhouse, and you can plant some green vegetables a little.

"Miss, lunch is ready, the slave maid will serve the lady's meal."

Packing up the lunch box and putting it aside, Cui Xue hurriedly stepped forward and stood respectfully beside Wu Tianrou.

"Well, let's start the meal."

Without objection, Wu Tianrou sat down at the table and began to eat. It seems that today's appetite is not very good, Wu Tianrou ate very little, just ate a small half bowl of rice, ate a few bites of green vegetables, and put down the chopsticks.

"Miss, don't you eat more?"

Cui Xue saw Wu Tianrou stop her chopsticks and asked with concern.

"I don't eat it, maybe I ate a few pieces of dim sum in the morning, and I don't feel hungry at all now."

Wu Tianrou shook her head, picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"That young lady drinks a bowl of fish soup, which is very replenishing."

Seeing that Wu Tianrou was full, Cui Xue picked up a small bowl and served Wu Tianrou a bowl of fish soup.

Seeing Cui Xue carefully serving the fish soup, Wu Tianrou lowered her head slightly, and a trace of obscurity flashed in her eyes.

"If you knew why you had to do it today, don't blame me, it's all because of the cause of the day that you have today's effect. Alas! ”

With a slight sigh in her heart, Wu Tianrou raised her head, just in time to see Cui Xue handing over the fish soup with a smile.

Wu Tianrou had just taken the fish soup when there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then a little maid walked in from outside the house.

"Miss, Miss 3 and Miss 4 are here."

"Let them in."

Wu Tianrou had a smile on her face, and put the fish soup in her hand on the table.

"Sister, let's come over to play."

Before anyone walked in, Wu Qianqiu's voice came in, and immediately, Wu Tingqiu and Wu Tianhua's figures walked in.

"Why are you here so early, have you had lunch?"

Signaling the little maid to hurry up to serve tea, Wu Tingrou smiled and beckoned Wu Tinghua and Wu Tingqiu to sit down.

"We ate, we ate a lot this morning, and we couldn't eat at noon, so we finished early. Sister, haven't you finished your meal yet, are we disturbing your meal? ”

Sitting next to Wu Tianrou, Wu Tianhua couldn't help but ask embarrassedly when he saw the food on the table.

"No, I'm done with it, but I haven't cleaned it up yet."

With a smile, Wu Tianrou looked at Wu Tianqiu, who had been holding her stomach.

"Fourth sister, what's wrong, does your stomach hurt?"

"Haha, no, big sister, look at what this is?"

Listening to Wu Tianrou's question, Wu Tianqiu smiled and hurriedly fished out something from his arms.

"Big sister, take a look, this is a cute kitten, right? I found it in my back garden yesterday, and I saw it shivering from the cold, so I brought it back. ”

This is a relatively small native cat, with a yellow and white coat color, and it is very thin. It should have been Wu Tianqiu who had bathed it, and it looked very clean.

This suddenly left Wu Tianqiu's warm embrace, and the little guy meowed unsatisfactorily, but it was very cute.

"It's cute, but be careful, be careful with bugs."

Wu Tianrou raised her hand and touched the kitten's head, and the fur was very soft.

"Well, I have fish soup here, give it some drink."

Seeing that the kitten seemed to smell the fragrance of fish, and wanted to climb towards the big soup bowl, Wu Tianrou smiled slightly and pushed the small bowl of soup in front of him in front of the kitten.

It seems that the taste of fish is really attractive to cats, as soon as the kitten smells the bowl of fish soup in front of him, he immediately lowered his head and began to **** up, the little tongue clicked, a small bowl of fish soup and a piece of fish inside all entered its stomach.

"Haha, I can't see it, this little thing is quite edible!"

Wu Tianhua, who was watching from the side, couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to grab the kitten's bulging belly.

Just when the three of them looked at the kitten and smiled, the kitten suddenly screamed and fell on the table, and then his limbs began to twitch continuously, and then he died of blood in his mouth.

All this happened so fast that Wu Tinghua and Wu Tingqiu didn't react at first, until the blood flowing from the kitten's mouth crossed the table, and Wu Tinghua and Wu Tingqiu jumped up in fright and let out an exclamation.

Startled by the shouts of the two, all the maids outside the house rushed in, including Cuiqin and Cuiping and Cuizhi, who were still sick.

"What's wrong? Miss, are you alright? ”

As soon as Cuiqin ran in, she saw the blood stains and dead cats on the table, her eyes flashed slightly, and then she hurriedly walked to Wu Tianrou's side.

"I'm fine, it's just that this cat, why did it die all of a sudden?"

Wu Tianrou also seemed to be frightened, her face turned a little pale, she pointed to the corpse of the cat on the table, and said in a trembling voice.

"Ahh It must be this fish soup, the fish soup is poisonous, and the kitten died after drinking this bowl of fish soup! ”

Suddenly, Wu Tianhua seemed to react all at once, she raised her hand to the bowl of fish soup and shouted loudly.

At this moment, Wu Tianqiu also reacted, I still remember that when they first came, Wu Tianrou was holding fish soup and was about to drink it, if Wu Tianrou drank it, wouldn't she be poisoned to death!

The more they thought about it, the more pale their faces became, and cold sweat flowed down the corners of their eyes.

"Humph! I don't know yet, in this Wu Mansion, there is still someone who wants my life? ”

Slammed the table, Wu Tianrou's face turned cold.

"Who brought this food? At noon, everyone's meals were the same, and we all ate them without incident, so it can be seen that the food in the kitchen is safe, so someone can only put poison into the soup later. The person who went to get the food was the most suspicious! ”

Wu Tianqiu glanced around at the maid's door in the room and said coldly.

"Miss, the slave didn't poison it! The slave is innocent! ”

Hearing these words, Cui Xue knelt down with a plop, and her face was already pale with fright.

"Search for me, check her body and room to see if I can get any clues."

Wu Tianrou didn't go to see Cuixue, she waved her hand and asked Cuiqin to take the maids to search Cuixue's room. Because Cuixue is also a first-class girl, she also has a room of her own.

Soon, Cuiqin came back with two little maids.

"Miss, I found this porcelain vase under Cuiqin's pillow, but it was already empty, and I don't know what it was in before."

"Ahh Isn't this porcelain bottle the same as the bottle when Wu Tingcheng drugged the eldest sister! ”

Seeing the appearance of Xiao Cuiping in Qing Cuiqin's hand, Wu Tianqiu immediately exclaimed with a shocked face. (To be continued.) )
