Chapter 203: Mystery
The flowers and trees are deep, and from time to time there are a few crisp birdsongs.
On the cloister, the lush foliage covers the scorching summer sun.
It was noon, Chunhui Hall was quiet, and only the distant cries came into the ears, making people feel a little drowsy.
The maid guarding the door had lowered her head and looked sleepy.
Xiao Yu walked through the cool bamboo forest, and when she looked up, she saw the little girls sitting by the door dozing off, and couldn't help but show a smile.
Recently, because of the matter of Mrs. Xiao, the whole house has worked hard, and even begun to prepare for the things behind her, and the maid in Chunhui Hall is the first to bear the brunt, not only to be busy day and night, and take care of it wholeheartedly, but also because the old lady has always been healthy before, and now she suddenly fell ill, and the people around her are naturally to blame.
After a few months, I was exhausted.
Now that the residual poison in the old lady's body is gone, and her body is gradually recovering, and after Xiao Kai has made a closer inspection, except for a few suspicious people who have been taken away for questioning, the rest of the thoughts have taken care of the old lady's hard work in these days, and they have only been fined some months.
Old Madam Xiao is tolerant and kind on weekdays, and these maids don't want to leave Chunhui Hall, and they are all overjoyed when they hear that it is just a fine of money.
So now there is not much change in the descendants of Chunhui Hall.
Today, Xiao Yu came to find a few big maids around the old lady to ask the old lady about her diet and daily life recently, and to see if the recipe for recuperation needs to be replaced.
Now that Old Madam Xiao is resting, she thinks that a few maids have time.
Xiao Yu approached. A few sleepy maids at the door woke up and hurriedly got up to salute, inevitably feeling a little apprehensive.
But I saw the rain bamboo next to him take a step forward. He only waved his hand, motioned for everyone to whisper, and then asked, "Are the sisters of Shuangrui here?" ”
Inside, Xianglan and Shuangrui had already heard the movement, greeted them, saluted softly and smiled and hugged Xiao Yu into the house.
After a while, Xiao Yu asked about the situation clearly, and then returned to his courtyard with Yuzhu.
Unexpectedly, when I entered the house, I saw Ling Yan sitting inside. was holding this travelogue and reading it so intriguedly that Xiao Yu didn't even notice it when he walked behind him.
Xiao Yu's heart was playful, and he suddenly reached out and took the book from Ling Yan's hand.
Ling Yan was watching it with relish. Immediately frightened, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Which one ate the little hooves of the ambitious leopard's guts......"
Turning his head and seeing Xiao Yu holding the book with a smile, Ling Yan stuck out her tongue, and then taught her again: "I'm going to get married." It's so naughty! ”
A few maids next to him pursed their lips and laughed there.
Xiao Yu's face flushed. Then he immediately smiled and said: "Sister Yan, you can bully me now, until you get married, there will always be a time to pay back!" Also, Xia Zhi hurriedly put away these books, Sister Yan scolded me for this book, I don't know what will happen if I continue to read it like this......"
Seeing this, Ling Yan rushed over and snatched the book, looking very precious.
made Xiao Yu suddenly laugh and fell on the bed.
After a while, the two of them had enough of laughing. After tidying up her clothes and sitting back on the couch for tea, Ling Yan asked, "Is grandmother better?" ”
Xiao Yu nodded: "Now my grandmother's diet and daily life have returned to normal. ”
Hear that. Ling Yan said happily: "That's really good! I didn't expect the master of Playboy and General Zhong to be so skillful. ”
As she spoke, Ling Yan's voice changed, and she asked with some curiosity: "By the way, Sister Ah Yu, what did you say when you went to Cuishan to visit Ziyun Zhenren yesterday?" ”
In fact, everyone in the mansion tacitly knew that this Hua Yue's master proposed to see Xiao Yu, and most of them had the reason for the marriage, and when Ling Yan thought that Ziyun Zhenren was also Zhong Lang's master, she couldn't help but feel that maybe she would have this level in the future.
Ling Yan thought of this, and a faint crimson appeared on her face.
The girl is pregnant with spring, and that's probably it. Seeing Ling Yan's expression, Xiao Yu could easily guess what she was thinking.
However, the matter of the hosta is not trivial, Xiao Yu will definitely not say it.
At that moment, Yan Ran smiled and said, "I expressed my gratitude to the Xiao Mansion, and then talked to Daoist Ziyun about medical skills." ”
Ling Yan was stunned.
What if she doesn't know how to heal?
Ling Yan was still struggling here, but Xiao Yu had already sent all the maids out, and asked in a different way: "I don't know who poisoned me, did Cousin Ling find any news over there?"
Ling Yan came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "I haven't heard my brother mention this either. ”
As for Xiao Kai and the others, they will not tell the two of them about these things, they can only see what actions have been made in the mansion recently, and then guess one or two.
……
In the study, Xiao Kai walked back and forth with a frown, sat back at the table after a while, and shouted to the people outside to call Xiao Wensong and Ling Yi over.
Seeing the two of them coming together and saluting together, Xiao Kai nodded: "Sit." ”
Xiao Wensong and the two sat down as they said.
Then, Xiao Kai asked directly: "How did you two find out about the poisoning of the old lady?" My guards still haven't been able to find a clue, it's really useless. ”
Several people suspected that it was Li Qi, the king of Tai in the capital, or the palace of Jingnan County, who was far away in southern Xinjiang, because of the marriage.
Xiao Kai sent a lot of people to investigate the matter secretly, but after a few days, he found that very few people from the county king's mansion came to Changzhou, and there was no movement in Changzhou in the past half a year, and it was almost directly ruled out, but there was no trace of the Thai king's mansion.
Could it be that the inference is wrong?
But apart from these two parties, who else will attack the old lady now? What are the benefits? Xiao Kai began to think about whether the brothers had offended any force in the court recently.
Xiao Wensong also found nothing here.
At this time, Ling Yi also told the news he had found. The people he brought over had found some clues, but they were very different from what they had thought before, and it seemed that they were really the hands of other forces.
As for who it is, I can't find out. Because the person who did it was obviously meticulous, he almost wiped the clues clean.
But Ling Yi vaguely felt that this force was not trivial.
After several people's analysis, Deng Shi felt that this matter was more tricky than he had guessed before, and because he didn't know who did it, it was equivalent to saying that Old Madam Xiao was still in danger.
Xiao Kai sighed and said, "The Holy Lord already knows about this matter, and he should let people investigate." At present, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of the old lady, and not to give people a chance, although the two girls who betrayed the master in Chunhui Hall have been disposed of before, but maybe someone else will also do such a thing. ”
Ling Yi nodded and said, "The people in the mansion should take the opportunity to beat it." ”
At that moment, a few people discussed for a long time, and Xiao Kai called all the brothers over to analyze whether anyone had offended any forces in the DPRK and China.
The results are still clueless.
However, everyone naturally did not give up looking for the murderer behind this because of this, and re-analyzed the clues found by Ling Yi and continued to investigate.
Because she didn't find the person behind the scenes, Xiao Yu was not worried about the old lady's situation for a while, and she was going to go back to the house to get married, so she lived in Xiao Mansion with peace of mind.
It's just that the trip was in a hurry and failed to bring Xiao Pei, which made Xiao Yu feel a little regretful. A few days ago, she was somehow suddenly worried about the situation of the Xiao family, but because of Mrs. Xiao's matter, she put it aside for the time being. Now that I'm free, I think about it again.
Xiao Yu was about to ask if Ling Yi had any letter from the south recently, when he heard bad news.
Something happened to Xiao Pei! (To be continued......)
