Chapter 172: Hidden Feelings
Even if he doesn't ask about the backyard anymore, he knows that the next room has its own set of rules, and a big girl like her lives in a single house, and the adjacent ones are also the same summer frost and spring snow as her, how can she get into outsiders? There are really outsiders, how can there be a reason why she doesn't know a few little girls back and forth in Chenxi Pavilion? It's clearly a lie!
"After thinking about it, the slave and maid also knew that something was wrong, but at that time, the slave and maid did not have time to think about these ......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"You said that this is almost the New Year, why does Fang Fujin still instruct people to run out one by one! It was not yet dawn this morning, and as soon as I got up to fetch water, I saw the spring snow and hurried out of the house. Another little girl whispered, "I also ran into it last time, and she came back from outside...... Sneaking around for fear of being looked at...... There is still a smell of medicine on the body......"
"Medicinal smell? Could it be that you went out to grab medicine? But there is a pharmacy in the house, why do you have to go out and catch it? β
"Who knows?" The little girl said mysteriously, "Maybe we can't match this medicine here?" β
The man said curiously, "What kind of medicine is so expensive, we can't match it in our house?" β
"Isn't it just ......," the girl seemed to whisper in the other ear.
"You damn girl, this is ......nonsense," the man laughed sheepishly.
"I'm telling the truth...... Otherwise, why do you say that every time the prince stays here, Fang Fujin asks someone to decoct the medicine? It's definitely for this...... Now that Fujin is pregnant, he can't serve the prince, and the side Fujin is not just right......"
The voices of the two girls gradually faded away, but she stayed where she was, her hands and feet were cold-others may not know, but she was waiting by Fang Fujin's side, but she could see clearly: it was impossible for the master to deliberately seek pregnancy--from her daily words and deeds, she also felt that she did not have the slightest expectation of the heir, and even ...... And a little indifferent.
What did she take secretly...... And what is it?
Terrible thoughts, once flashed in the heart, take root. The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became, fidgeting at every move in the next room. She knew that Chunxue was back, and then went out in a panic.
It's almost the New Year, everyone is busy, and she has just recovered from the cold, so she doesn't have to be on duty, and no one pays attention to her.
When she slipped into the spring snow room, she was too nervous. She'd never done anything like it. She even wondered what if she really found out about the drug to avoid children. How could she persuade her master to dispel such thoughts? No matter what, the child is always innocent.
But even though she had made sufficient preparations in her heart in the morning, when she rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the packet of medicinal herbs, she was still frightened - she had worked in the pharmacy and knew a few of themβthe situation was far worse than she expected: Fang Fujin grabbed the medicine not for contraception, but for sterilization!
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
If the master just wants to prevent pregnancy, this matter can still be considered in the long run, but now it ...... Once you use these, isn't this life over? A woman who has no heirs, how can she have any hope for the rest of her life?
She didn't have time to think of anything better.
She hadn't drunk the decoction today--she had seen that everyone had been busy going in and out these days, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she had to boil it herself, but now she ...... The idea came before I knew it.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"The thing...... That's it. Cai Qi said calmly.
"According to what you said," his voice trembled a little, "Actually, Xiyan's medicine was changed by you early in the morning, and there is no problem at all?!" β
"Yes."
"What about the child avoidance medicine? How did you get to Fujin later?! β
"The slave doesn't know what's wrong." Cai Qi said gloomily, "At that time, the time was urgent, and the slave and maid had no chance to deal with it, and I was afraid that someone would find out...... I had to secretly bury the medicine bag in the garden outside the house, trying to find an opportunity to go out and throw it away. But that night, Fujin suddenly had an accident, and the entire Chenxi Pavilion was taken for questioning...... The slave and maid were worried, for fear that the medicine would be discovered, and it would become more and more unclear when the time came, and the master would be implicated...... Thankfully, no one was able to find ...... When the slave returned, she went to the place where the medicine was hidden, thinking that she would dispose of it anyway, so as not to cause trouble again......" She bit her lower lip and said with difficulty, "but she didn't want to...... That medicine...... It was gone. β
Li Xuan looked at her in disbelief, "What do you mean by disappearing?" β
"I can't find the medicine bag...... Caiqi shook his head blankly, "The slave just thought that she was sick and confused, and remembered the wrong place, so she rummaged through it again before dawn the next day...... But I've searched everywhere, and there's no ...... anywhere."
"Who took someone to the inspection that day?" He asked Mama Yun who was standing aside with a gloomy face.
Mama Yun thought carefully for a long time before she said softly, "...... Yes, it's the little cicada in the Fujin house......"
His mind went blank.
What does all this mean......
"Since you knew that Xiyan was innocent early on, why didn't you say it until today?"
Cai Qi smiled bitterly, "At that time, Fujin had just ...... You are in a rage, and the slave and maid speak softly, and even if you say it, who will believe it? Besides, the master's mind was already different at that time...... Chunxue has passed away, Xia Shuang is young, if the slave and maid are also guilty of this, they can't serve by her side......" she shook her head, "The slave and maid know that they are guilty, and they never thought of getting away with it, but when the master left, he told the slave and the maid to take care of the eldest brother, and the slave and maid never dared to disobey...... Now that the master has returned safely, the slave and maid have no worries in their hearts. Even if the prince doesn't invite his grandmother to ask, the slave and maid themselves will also take the initiative to confess......" she said, kowtowing to Li Xuan respectfully, "I also begged the prince to punish the crime of not reporting it in the past." β
"What do you mean, all of this...... Did it all be done by Fu Jin? In the middle of the night, he heard his own harsh voice ringing in the room.
"The slave doesn't know...... Caiqi hesitated for a moment, "the slave and the maid also thought about it again and again...... If Fu Jin did it, why did she harm herself? But if it weren't for this...... The master would not have been driven away by the prince in the first place......" she shook her head, "The slave really can't tell...... Later, the slave maid followed the eldest brother, and she was also very careful, afraid that Fujin would secretly harm her...... But Fujin really loves the eldest brother...... It was hard for the slave to believe that she would kill her own children in order to harm others. In fact, until this moment, she is still ignorant, she originally wanted to save people, but why did she inexplicably harm people? She couldn't even figure out if Chunxue's death was caused by herself. It's been two years, and she doesn't know who to talk to, how to say it. She didn't even know who to suspect.
No one benefited from this, but almost all of them were injured.
