Chapter 61: Cover-up

A reception feast ended in an eerie atmosphere, but at least on the surface, everyone was happy. After sending the guests away, he sent Murong Bai and his party to rest, and Chen Wenzheng hurriedly walked back to Zhirong Courtyard.

Here, the Zhang family has just sent the female guests from various mansions away, and they are changing their clothes under the service of Yahuan, thinking that after changing their clothes, they will go to Shuangshu Courtyard to see how Chen Lianhui's situation is.

When she saw Chen Lianhui's scalded skin at the banquet, she was still a little worried, but she couldn't leave the guests alone, so she had to signal Chen Lianjiao and Chen Lianshu to take someone to carry Chen Lianhui down.

Now that so much time has passed, I don't know if the clan doctor has seen it. I don't know if the injury is serious or not, and what happened? Just as he was puzzled, he saw Chen Wenzheng walking in with a solemn face.

"Master, is something wrong, why is your face so bad?"

"What the hell is going on today? In front of so many guests, they were disheveled and yelled, this is because our Chen family is not ashamed enough, right! ”

looked at Zhang with an unhappy face, and Chen Wenzheng's tone was not good.

"Sir, I don't know what happened. Originally, everyone was eating well, but suddenly Lianhui jumped up, and then began to shout and scratch herself.

Lian Shu may also be frightened, afraid that she will hurt her again to stop her from harming herself, so she actually splashed a pot of hot soup on her body in a hurry, and this is what the old man saw. ”

"Then why did Mercy become like this?"

After listening to Zhang's words, Chen Wenzheng was also a little strange.

"It's not clear yet, why don't I want to change out of the clothes of the banquet guests and go to the Shuangshu Courtyard to see the situation. Why don't I, sir, help you change into your regular clothes first, and let's go see Lianhui together. ”

Zhang held his hair and looked at Chen Wenzheng.

"It's fine."

Chen Wenzheng nodded and stood up. Zhang hurriedly came over and helped him change out of the new clothes worn by the banquet guests and put on the regular clothes at home. The two of them cleaned up for a while, and then hurriedly walked towards Shuangshu Courtyard.

When I arrived at the Shuangshu Courtyard, I could hear Chen Lianhui's screams from the courtyard before I entered the courtyard. The two couldn't help but speed up their pace, ignoring Shi Li's subordinates all the way, and quickly walked into the inner room.

As soon as they came in, the two saw a screen erected in the inner room, and Chen Lianhui, who was red and swollen from the heat, was being put in the bathtub and soaked in cold water.

"What's going on, Lian Hui is burned, why don't you hurry up and take medicine for treatment, what are you doing soaking in cold water?"

Zhang, who was confused, looked at Zhang Lao, who was sitting outside the screen grinding medicinal powder, and couldn't help but ask.

"Scalds need to be treated, but if you don't force the poison out first, how can you treat burns quietly."

Zhang Lao didn't look up, and said slowly while weighing the medicinal herbs with a small scale.

"What, poisoned? What poison is not serious? What the hell is going on? ”

Hearing that Chen Lianhui was also poisoned, Zhang immediately frowned.

"'Red silk winding' is not a very serious poison. As for how it was poisoned, you have to ask the ladies what is going on. ”

Continuing to weigh the herbs and let the medicine woman sort and grind, Zhang Lao touched his beard and glanced at Chen Wenzheng and Zhang, and pointed to a small porcelain bottle on the table.

"It's the 'red silk winding' put here."

"Tell me what's going on?"

Looking at the small porcelain vase on the table, Chen Wenzheng turned his head to look at Chen Lianjiao who was standing aside, his face was a little gloomy.

"This, Father, is so. The fifth sister went to the Fang Market some time ago, and bought this bottle of 'Red Silk Winding' because of curiosity.

Today's banquet was held in the house, and when the fifth sister was looking for new clothes, she inadvertently turned out the bottle of medicine, and played with it casually, who knew that the bottle was not tightly stuffed, but there was actually a medicine powder exposed, and it stuck to the clothes.

That's it, at the banquet, the fifth sister accidentally ate the sticky powder, and then she was poisoned. ”

After a little hesitation, Chen Lianjiao immediately said after a turn of thought.

"Is that so?"

Zhang always felt that things should not be so simple, she turned her head to look at Chen Lianshu and Chen Lianhui who were soaking in the water.

"Yes, mother, I was accidentally poisoned."

Chen Lianhui, who had eased some of her medicinal strength, said with a wistful expression.

Now she really has no energy at all, especially the hot pain all over her body. But she still saw Chen Lianjiao's hand shaking at her behind Zhang's family, and responded with her little urgency.

"You guys are really, what's not to play with these poisons, what are you curious about!"

Chen Wenzheng was standing outside the screen and heard the conversation between Zhang's mother and daughter, and couldn't help but say to the screen.

"Fortunately, it's not a big deal, you all have to be careful in the future. Elder Zhang, is there any problem with Lianhui's scalds? ”

"Don't worry, this burn is nothing, it's just a crime."

While answering Chen Wenzheng's question, Zhang Laobian mixed several medicinal powders together in proportion, mixed them with medicinal liquids into ointment, and then put them into a wide-mouth porcelain bottle. Handing the porcelain bottle to Chen Lianhui's Yahuan peony, Zhang Lao instructed again.

"This is an external ointment, you must apply it all over your body, and then wrap it in a soft cloth, and the doctor will help you bandage Miss Fifth later. Remember that after the doctor girl brought the boiled medicine, she must let Miss Five drink it while it was hot. ”

Walking to the side of the washbasin and washing his hands, Zhang Lao thought about it and continued to instruct.

"Also, you can only eat light things for half a month, and you can't eat meat, you can only eat vegetarian."

"Huh?"

Chen Lianhui, who was lying in the bathtub, was dumbfounded, she was about to break off meat in a few days after she was able to eat meat, and suddenly she felt more pain in her body.

"Okay, listen to Zhang Lao's words, it's important to heal the burns as soon as possible, and when your body is better, you can't eat any meat."

patted Chen Lianhui's only good left hand comfortingly, Zhang said a few more words, and left with Chen Wenzheng.

Zhang Lao then also packed up the medicine box, and before leaving, he turned around and picked up the porcelain bottle containing the 'red silk wind', smiled and put it into the medicine box, and then walked out.

Chen Lianjiao and Chen Lianshu glanced at each other, and only felt a lack of sweat for a while.

Chen Lianjiao wiped her forehead and sat down on the small chair next to the bathtub.

"Phew, I was scared to death just now, if my father knew the reason for the incident, we would be miserable."

"That's right, I was scared to death just now, but fortunately, the fifth sister is smart, otherwise we would all be unlucky today."

Chen Lianshu also walked over and sat on another small chair and looked at Chen Lianhui.

"It's also strange to say, fifth sister, didn't you put the medicinal powder into Chen Lianyue's wine glass, why is she okay but you yourself are poisoned?"

When Chen Lianjiao heard this, she also looked at Chen Lianhui with a miserable face.
