Chapter 138: Second Lady

Follow the second lady all the way to the backyard of the temple, and meet the nuns in the temple on the way, they all naturally greet the second lady, it seems that she should be a frequent visitor here.

Without a special person to lead, the second lady led them to a side room with a familiar car, so it seems that this wing room is also specially assigned to the second lady, which is spotless, and the mattress is very neat, she should often live here.

After entering the house, the second lady asked them to sit down, but Xiaoli refused to sit down. She has long been accustomed to her status as a maid, although she dares to share the table with her master at Qin Leling's request, but she will not dare to overstep in front of her former master no matter what.

Seeing that the second lady was going to pour tea for them personally, Mu Xiaoli said crampedly: "Madam, let the slave and maid come." ”

Slave, Xiao Li hasn't called herself like this for many years. Xiao Li still has a fear from the bottom of her heart, presumably because she used to live tremblingly every day in the Li Mansion.

Qin Leling got up and grabbed Xiao Li and said, "Madam, let me come." ”

Although these two ladies are only a lady in the Li Mansion, they are also her elders, and it is not an exaggeration to give her a cup of tea privately.

Although the second lady was surprised, she did not refuse.

After the polite score is finished, it's time to get to the point. Qin Leling said: "I want to talk to you about Xiaoli." ”

The second lady glanced at Xiaoli, Mu Xiaoli hurriedly wanted to leave the room, and the master didn't dare to listen to the maid when he talked about things, although they were talking about themselves.

Qin Leling grabbed Mu Xiaoli again: "Xiaoli, you don't have to leave." ”

The second lady said: "Xiaoli, you were infected with the wind and cold back then, and I was powerless to save you so I abandoned you halfway." Today, it seems that leaving the Li Mansion can be regarded as your creation. ”

"Is it the cold?" Qin Leling asked rhetorically, did the second lady want to test her to know the real reason why Xiao Li was seriously ill?

The second lady said: "Princess, it's really high. ”

It turned out that the bowl of drugged bird's nest was given to the second lady by Li Hongde, the lord of the Li Mansion, and Li Hongde shared a lot of good things in each lady's room in order to celebrate his ascension.

When the second lady's personal maid brought the finished bird's nest to the lady, she found that the bird's nest had been tampered with. Her maid had always been cautious, and everything was put away according to certain signs, when she noticed that the lid of the food jar had been tampered with.

The second lady was not sure whether the bird's nest had been poisoned, so she asked Xiao Li, who happened to come in time, to drink it, and Xiao Li became seriously ill after drinking it. The doctors who invited them all said that they were infected with wind and cold, but the more they were treated, the more serious it became.

The second lady couldn't catch the handle of poisoning, seeing that Xiao Li was going to die, and was on the way to the imperial capital at the time, the eldest lady was disgusted and rushed with a sick maid, it was really unlucky, so she had to let people throw Xiao Li into the grass on the side of the road.

, this matter is over.

The second lady said: "Xiaoli, it was indeed me who was sorry for you back then, you can go to the official and let me get the reward I deserve, I will definitely confess." ”

Mu Xiaoli said: "Madame, the slave and maid have never hated you, and they will not report to the official, the past is all in the past, and at that time, you also asked a doctor to sincerely heal the slave and maid." ”

Qin Leling said: "Do you know what kind of poison Xiaoli was in back then?" ”

The second lady shook her head, and in the end she really didn't find out.

"Do you know who poisoned it?" Qin Leling asked again.

"I didn't know it then, but I learned later."

After coming to Qianning, the second lady soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Li Hongde had several daughters, but only one son, Li Rong, was very happy at that time and held a banquet.

It's just that the child died when he was five years old, and the second lady was very sad when she talked about it, and it was full of hatred, although she tried her best to hide it, she still revealed that it was the eldest lady who killed her child. She also knew that the poison back then was also caused by the eldest lady.

Qin Leling didn't expect the second lady to even tell her such a thing, but this also showed the sincerity of the second lady who did not hide it. Qin Leling promised that she would not be held accountable for Xiaoli's matter.

On the way back, Qin Leling asked Xiao Li, who had been nervous: "Are you afraid that I will send you back again?" ”

"Xiao Li knows that Miss won't send me away, but I'm afraid of ......"

Xiao Li couldn't say anything behind her, her hands were twisted together, so lonely and helpless, people couldn't help but feel distressed.

Qin Leling said: "With Miss here, Xiao Li doesn't have to worry, when Miss is not afraid, Xiao Li doesn't have to be afraid." ”

Mu Xiaoli looked at Qin Leling and finally nodded seriously.

After going back, Qin Leling asked Chu Jingye about Li Hongde's second son, and he didn't know much about it. I only know that Li Hongde's second son was born that year, and all the officials of the DPRK and China went to the banquet, so everyone knows that he once had a young son, but later died.

Chu Jingye was puzzled: "Ling'er, how can you care about the affairs of the Li Mansion, the matter of Xiaoli has not been resolved yet?" ”

"Solved." Qin Leling said, but this time it was really unpleasant to let Li Hongde bite back, and he had to find a chance to return it.

Xiaoli was hit by 'Funing', and the poison in Shuguifei was also "Funing", which is too much of a coincidence. Chu Han has been investigating Li Hongde, if the second lady's son died in something else, maybe he can take advantage of the internal contradictions in the Li Mansion, and the role of this backyard should not be underestimated.

Chu Jingye felt that Qin Leling's analysis was not unreasonable, and asked Gu Ling to investigate carefully.

A few days later, Gu Cheng found out, and the death of the second son of the Li Mansion was really strange.

Qin Leling felt that it was very magical to do Gu Cheng's profession, as a personal guard who directly obeyed the master's orders, the master would hand over to them to check if he wanted to know, and then the efficiency could be found very quickly, even if a maid died and a guy didn't escape their eyes.

When Li Fu's second son was five years old, he was said to have a vicious illness and died of a violent illness overnight, but it was actually because of his eldest son Li Rong.

As the saying goes, one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, Li Rong has been used to being the only one for more than ten years, and suddenly he has an extra brother and shares half of his father's favor, which makes him very annoyed.

And Li Rong's younger brother is also spoiled by his father and lawless, several sisters don't dare to mess with him, and they coax him to play on weekdays and treat him like a baby, and he can't walk or fall.

Only Li Rong, the elder brother, doesn't spoil him, children, he always likes to get the submission or attention of people who don't like him, and he earns things with Li Rong whenever he has the opportunity, Li Rong is a big tiger, he is a little tiger.

Because the second son is young, every time he makes trouble in front of Li Hongde, Li Hongde asks Li Rong to let his younger brother go, and for a long time, this makes Li Rong regard his younger brother as a thorn in the flesh, and he wants to get rid of him quickly.

Finally one day, the two sons earned something again, Li Rong couldn't bear it anymore, picked up his younger brother and threw him into the lake, locked up the wet nurse with his younger brother and the maidservant girl who was guarding him, and ordered no one to report it.

It wasn't until the evening that Li Hongde rescued his second son, who was already white at that time. After finding out that the eldest son did it, Li Hongde suppressed the matter, the younger son was gone, and the eldest son must not make any mistakes. (To be continued.) )
