Chapter 230: Temptation

Hou Ye sat down, he asked the maid to bring the dishes and chopsticks, personally helped the eldest lady put them on the table, and helped her to arrange the dishes.

With an unprecedentedly gentle expression, he handed over the chopsticks and said with a smile, "Let's eat." ”

The eldest lady sat down slowly, looking at the chopsticks, her heart was clenched, and she hesitated for a long time, and finally stretched out.

It's just that the chopsticks are connected, but they don't start eating.

Hou Ye looked at her and asked, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

The tenderness in his eyes dissipated by seven points, and there was an extra layer of coldness.

The eldest lady's scalp tightened, and she quickly put down her chopsticks and said, "Master Hou, you don't have to test me, I told the maid to do something in the third girl's meal, I didn't mean to harm her, I just tried to test her, and wanted to force her to admit that she was skilled in medicine." ”

The eldest lady admitted it, but Hou Ye's face did not improve in the slightest, but became colder by three points.

He threw the chopsticks in his hand.

One of the chopsticks was on the table, and the other fell to the floor.

He sneered, "Temptation? Is it a temptation or an intentional murder?! If it's really a temptation, is there your maid in Qingyun's house, in case she can't identify the poison in the food and wants to eat it in her stomach, can anyone stop her?! ”

The eldest lady's face turned pale, and the reason she thought of couldn't deceive the Hou Ye at all.

Hou Ye stood up and said, "Qingyun's medical skills, I have known about it for a long time, I have no objection to her studying medicine, the inner house is selfish, harming people invisibly, I just ask her to protect herself, not to be poisoned, she knows how to heal, I don't allow you to ask more questions!" ”

The eldest lady's face was as white as paper, she bit her lip, her hands were clenched tightly, and her dancΓ΄me-coated nails were pinched into the flesh, and she didn't even notice it.

She looked at Hou Ye and said sadly, "It's no wonder that Qingrou is angry, Hou Ye really loves Qingyun, there are so many girls in the house, but Hou Ye only lets Qingyun study medicine." also hid us to death, if it weren't for the Shangshu Mansion to come to the door today, we would all be kept in the dark, what kind of private means in the house. Harming people is invisible, Hou Ye prevented me from speaking directly, why bother hurting me so much! ”

As she spoke, the eldest lady began to cry.

Hou Ye's brows furrowed, a little impatient. What he dislikes the most is that women cry, and the heads of people crying are big.

Hou Ye wanted to turn around and leave.

But looking at the dishes on the table, and then thinking about him before he left the house, Qingyun looked at him deflatedly, "Daddy, you won't let go of the eldest lady when she cries, right?" ”

Hou Ye is afraid that women crying, everyone in the house knows it.

Qingyun was afraid that the eldest lady would pinched Hou Ye's death hole and escaped by crying, so she gave Hou Ye a preventive shot.

As Qingyun expected. Half of the eldest lady cried because she was sad that Hou Ye favored Qingyun, and she only had the deceased Jiang family in her heart, and the other half just hoped that Hou Ye would go.

But Qingyun said first, Hou Ye couldn't help but want to leave, and he had to endure not moving and solve the matter.

But the eldest lady kept crying, and the Hou Ye became impatient, he suddenly got up and said, "Enough! Don't cry! ”

The eldest lady was taken aback. The crying became more and more sad, "Hou Ye only has his deceased sister in his heart, how could he have me, everything is close to Sister Qingyun first." Where have you ever taken the softness to heart? ”

Hou Ye knew that she would blame him for favoring Qingyun, he looked at the eldest lady and said, "Are you blaming me for letting Qingyun study medicine, but not letting Qingrou study?" ”

The eldest lady did not speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Hou Ye smiled, "If Qingrou is willing to study medicine." I'm not against it either. ”

The eldest lady choked her throat, because not only did Master Hou not object to Mu Qingrou studying medicine, but he could even help them find a doctor to teach them, instead of buying a few medical books for her like Qingyun, and let her read and explore by herself.

Hou Ye said this, it is far better to hurt Mu Qingrou than Qingyun, if the eldest lady still pulls him to favor Qingyun, it will be the eldest lady messing around.

The eldest lady couldn't find the words to refute Master Hou for a while, but asked her to let Mu Qingrou study medicine, but the eldest lady never thought about it.

The important thing for everyone to be beautiful is piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, what to do when studying medicine, is it difficult to open a pharmacy to give people a pulse to see a doctor?

The eldest lady stopped her tears and wanted to sit back in her position again, but before she sat down, she thought of one thing, looked at Hou Ye and said, "The ointment is prepared by Qingyun, Hou Ye knows, and she is still asking for it." ”

Hou Ye raised his eyebrows, looked at the eldest lady and said, "Who said that the ointment was prepared by Qingyun?" ”

"Isn't it?" Although the eldest lady was asking rhetorically, her tone was firm.

Hou Ye smiled, "She admitted it?" ”

"If Qingyun doesn't admit it, do I dare to question Master Hou like this?" The eldest lady said.

Hou Ye's eyes instantly turned cold, if he didn't know that Qingyun was worried that the eldest lady would embarrass her with the ointment, so he asked him to help settle it, he was really fooled by the eldest lady's categorical attitude.

She couldn't force Qingyun to ask about the ointment, so she came to him to beat around the bush?!

Hou Ye stood up, he looked at the eldest lady and said, "Doing business has always been a matter of being willing to buy and sell, and no one can force anyone." ”

The ointment is made by Qingyun, but she is not a pharmacy merchant who sells medicine for a living, she is just a hobby, and the price she wants to offer is not as happy as she likes, or she sells a bottle for 100,000 taels, if she is not satisfied, she will not buy it, and no one will force her to buy it.

The eldest lady understood the meaning of Hou Ye's words, the angry eldest lady's chest rose and fell, and she almost fainted, she gritted her teeth and said, "Qingrou and Qingyun are sisters, I admit that their relationship is not so harmonious, and she wants Qingyun to give ointment to Qingrou willingly, she is a hundred unwilling, Qingyun is young and ignorant, I don't blame her, but what about Hou Ye, Qingrou and Qingyun are your daughters, their sisters are not compatible, Hou Ye doesn't want their sisters to get back together, but helps Qingyun speak, Hou Ye is so partial, it's really hurtful." ”

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and the last sentence was hurtful, and she said it even louder.

But after saying that, looking at Hou Ye Tieqing's face again, the eldest lady's heart skipped a beat.

She forgot about the banquet held by the Hou Mansion, Hou Ye, as a father, went to let Mu Qingrou continue to organize the banquet, a few of them held the shelf, kept putting the family rules in their mouths, and forcibly lost the face of Hou Ye, it was Qingyun who was sensible and well-behaved, and couldn't bear that Hou Ye lost the dignity of being a father, so he stepped forward, not only took over the banquet, but also praised everyone who held the banquet.

And the eldest lady and Mu Qingrou, they don't do anything, but they are good at grabbing credit.

Said that he was partial, and she was a mother. And when did justice come true?

He didn't ask her to treat Qingyun the same as Qingrou, after all, she was separated by a layer of belly, but she only had Qingrou in her eyes and didn't say anything, and she would harm Qingyun's life. He didn't blame her, she blamed him for being biased and hurting her heart!

Hou Ye's cold eyes looked at the eldest lady without a trace of warmth.

He turned and walked away.

Just walked to the beaded curtain, and he instructed the maid, "Wait for the eldest lady to finish all the food on the table." The rest of the mouthful, the red sandalwood courtyard inside and outside all the sale! ”

When a few maids heard this, they immediately knelt down and begged the Hou Ye to calm his anger.

Hou Ye didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Several maids looked at each other, and then heard the angry sound of the eldest lady smashing the plate behind them, and their hearts were even more in their throats.

Hou Ye has spoken, if the eldest lady doesn't finish the meal, they will all be sold.

These maids are good-looking. Once sold, you can imagine what will happen to them.

But there is a problem with the meal, and the eldest lady herself admits it, the eldest lady doesn't eat it, can they hold the eldest lady and force her to finish eating?

If you really do that, I'm afraid that before it can be sold, you will be killed by the eldest lady.

There were five dishes and one soup on the table, and the eldest lady was angry and dropped three plates of dishes. There are still two plates left.

A few maids didn't dare to persuade them, and the eldest lady didn't dare to fall.

Her mouth trembled with anger, and her hands clutched the tablecloth tightly, as long as she lifted it hard. Not a drop of these meals will be left.

But she didn't dare to fall, Hou Ye was angry, he was going to sell the maid, not for fun, he really wanted to sell the maid.

Not for anything else, just because these maids are her henchmen. It's her right-hand man.

Without these henchmen, she couldn't do anything.

However, the maids also knew that what Hou Ye said was scary, in fact, as long as the eldest lady ate the meal, it was not the point, the point was to make the eldest lady eat the consequences.

The rest of the plates, the eldest lady ate with her breath.

These things soon spread throughout the Hou Mansion.

Qingying came back from inquiring and told Qingyun that she was having dinner.

Hou Ye took away the food box, and Qingyun guessed that he would ask the eldest lady to eat those meals, which was expected, but she was still very happy to hear it.

She bites into the tofu, her eyes sparkling.

The meal was walked around from her, but it was not so easy to eat.

Besides, the eldest lady, after eating three plates of dishes, she waited for her stomach to ache.

But after waiting and waiting, my stomach did not react.

She looked at the maid and said, "You didn't poison you?" ”

The maid shook her head, "The slave and maid are poisoned, and every plate of dishes is drugged." ”

The eldest lady frowned, since she was drugged and she also took it, how could she react?

The maid couldn't help but say, "Could it be that the third old lady is deceiving the eldest lady to play?" ”

The medicine was sent by the third old lady.

The eldest lady shook her head, "Impossible. ”

Qingyun cured the illness of the eldest young master of the Marquis of Anding, which is equivalent to robbing the title of the Dingguo Mansion that Shangshu Mansion fancies, to say that Shangshufu wants to chop off Qingyun's heart, she is willing to help her, she can't give her fake medicine to fool her.

But when the medicine is in the meal, it has no effect at all, which is strange.

The maid guessed, "Could it be that the original medicine has no effect, and the third old lady herself doesn't know?" ”

The eldest lady thought about it and said, "I can't rule out such a possibility." ”

There are many charlatans on the streets, who blow some medicines to the gods, either curing all diseases, or killing people without seeing blood, in fact, they are all defrauding people of money.

My stomach didn't hurt, and it was late.

The eldest lady is also sleepy, so she won't just take a break.

In the first half of the night, my stomach was fine.

But in the second half of the night, the eldest lady was so painful that she wanted to hit the wall.

The heart, liver, spleen and lungs were all pulled together, knotted and pulled, the whole person was trembling, and the diarrhea did not stop.

The medicine is not ineffective, but it is more than ten times heavier than what the third old lady said.

The eldest lady had diarrhea, La's body collapsed, and she fainted directly.

The maid was anxious like an ant on a messy pot, and wanted to find a doctor, but in the middle of the night, there was a curfew on the street, and she couldn't ask the doctor to come back at all.

The doctor came at dawn, and the eldest lady had been dizzy for more than two hours.

After helping the eldest lady check the pulse, the doctor raised his eyebrows and said, "Did the eldest lady eat croton as rice?" ”

The maid can't say that she has suffering, can she say that the eldest lady wants to harm the third girl, but she was discovered by the Hou Ye and reaped the consequences?

"Doctor, you should prescribe medicine for my wife, she has been having diarrhea," the maid urged.

The doctor shook his head and said helplessly, "I don't know what laxatives the eldest lady in the house has taken, the effect is so strong, it can be diarrhea for three or two days, and at most ten days and half a month, I will do my best." ”

Speaking of Qingyun, waking up in the morning is refreshing.

After breakfast, she went to Chunhui Courtyard to greet the old lady.

She went a little early, and Zhou Ziting hadn't arrived yet.

After saying goodbye, the old lady pulled her and asked her if she slept well at night.

After asking, Zhou Ziting came.

She looked sluggish, as if she was very tired.

When the old lady saw this, she asked, "Didn't you sleep well at night?" ”

Zhou Ziting shook her head and smiled, "Grandmother, Ziting has always slept well in the Hou Mansion, but she just stayed up late yesterday and slept late." ”

The old lady looked at her as if she had stayed up late, and said, "What is there to stay up late?" ”

Zhou Ziting stepped forward, sat down next to the old lady and said, "Today is my uncle's death day, I said before, let the third cousin go to Qixia Temple to light the everlasting lamp for my aunt this year, Ziting has never seen my uncle, and I want to do my best, so I stayed up all night and copied forty-nine Buddhist scriptures, planning to send it to Qixia Temple with my third cousin to pray for my uncle and third cousin." ”

Hearing Zhou Ziting say this, Qingyun hurriedly got up and thanked her, "Cousin Ziting has a heart." ”

Zhou Ziting didn't dare to take Qingyun's courtesy, and hurriedly replied, "The third cousin is more polite, this is what Ziting should do." ”

Seeing that the two of them were humble to each other, the old lady smiled with satisfaction, looked at Qingyun and said, "Your mother has a spirit in the sky, and she will definitely bless you with peace and harmony, and bless Young Master Chu with a speedy recovery." ”

As he spoke, he advised, "Light the lantern, sooner rather than later, don't delay, go to Qixia Temple as soon as possible, bring more people to ensure safety." ”

The two of them were blessed and went out of Chunhui Courtyard together.

In the front yard, Manager Zhou ordered the little servant to prepare the carriage early.

Zhou Ziting and Qingyun shared a carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Zhou Ziting was a little worried, "In previous years, the eldest lady sent someone to Qixia Temple to light the lantern for my uncle, but this year I let you go, I always feel that there will be some problems, so I want to go with me to take a look." ”

Qingyun smiled when she heard this, although Zhou Ziting's sincerity in saying this was not yet seventy percent, but she accepted her affection and said with a smile, "Thank you Cousin Ziting for reminding me, I will pay a little more attention." ”

Zhou Ziting blushed a little and said, "I just said that, don't take the third cousin too seriously, the Zhennan Hou Mansion has sent a secret guard to guard you, and with the secret guard to protect you, I am just a little worried, plus the fifth cousin and they are not in the house, I am bored and panicked, so I got up and went to Qixia Temple, the third cousin, don't be annoyed by me." ”

As she spoke, she smiled again, "The eldest lady had a stomach last night, and she is still prostrating at this time, even if she had any thoughts before, it is estimated that she can't take care of it at this time." ”

Qingyun nodded her head.

Zhou Ziting and Qingyun chatted for a while.

chatted and chatted, and talked about Qingyun's medical skills.

Zhou Ziting vaguely inquired about Qingyun's medical skills several times, but was interrupted by Qingyun.

After several repetitions, Zhou Ziting didn't want to mention it again.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and after more than half an hour, it finally arrived at Qixia Temple.

The two got out of the carriage and walked a few steps forward, when they saw several bullies with wooden sticks not far away, coming towards them with fierce looks.

The first person said in a rough voice, "Find me!" ”

Several people scattered, and one of them pointed to the corner of the carriage with sharp eyes, "She's there!" ”

Qingyun looked for prestige, and saw a girl hiding in the carriage.

The girl was in rags, her face was dirty, and she was even a little timid, and she cowered there and did not dare to move.

Hearing footsteps coming, she raised her eyes and saw Qingyun.

She quickly got up, ran towards Qingyun, grabbed Qingyun's cloud sleeve and said, "Girl, save me!" ”
