After Cai Lan left, Tong Xue opened her eyes and stared at the top of the tent above her head.

She remembered the first dream she had, her mother sat cross-legged on the kang near the window, embroidering delicately, and a girl with a blurred face came in with a bowl of medicine.

The dream came to an abrupt end, and after waking up from the dream, she hurried to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and met Cuizhu.

And yesterday, in the dream, there was a similar scene.

Only this time, the face of the girl holding the medicine bowl was very clear, it was the pearl!

Pearl had been by her mother's side for a long time, and she was well-versed in medicine, and her mother relied on her very much.

She was also one of the most powerful people around her mother.

Could it be that she held a grudge against her mother because of Lu Fang's affairs, so she decided to poison her mother?

Matters on the land side

Tong Xue sat up, hugged the quilt and leaned against the head of the bed, she suddenly remembered that Lu Fang hanged himself in the firewood room, because he was addicted to gambling, owed a large amount of gambling debts, stole gold from the shop to pawn in the pawnshop, and committed suicide by exposing his fear.

When his mother gave the pearl to Lu Fang, she valued his honest duty and saw that he was a good match.

And Lu Fang's generous temperament is known to everyone in the house.

How could such a well-behaved person suddenly become addicted to gambling and have an affair with a dusty woman?

And the woman is also pregnant with Lu Fang's widow, and now she is living in the courtyard opened up for the next person in the northwest corner of the house.

Tong Xue didn't feel anything wrong at first, but now she suddenly felt that something was wrong everywhere.

Just like Pearl has served by her mother's side for decades, and her mother has done her best everywhere, otherwise there would not be a detailed booklet over there, if she really has a different heart for her mother, according to her exquisite thoughts, if she really wants to plot the position of the aunt next to her father, I am afraid that her mother will not allow her to this day.

And according to Tong Xue's observation, Pearl is obviously also affectionate to Lu Fang, otherwise he would not have lent him silver taels again and again, but Lu Fang was blinded by the wild flowers outside and betrayed the relationship between them first.

Maybe it was because she was let down that she was disheartened and turned to a different mind?

Tong Xue slowly sorted out her thoughts, and when she was almost thinking, the door squeaked, and someone pushed it open from the outside, and Cai Lan came back with pearls.

"I'm really sorry to ask Cailan to call you over." Tong Xue smiled and looked at Pearl Dao.

"Slave maid to the eldest girl, please say goodbye." Pearl bowed to Tong Xue on her knees, and approached: "Listen to Sister Cailan, the girl is unwell, but what are the uncomfortable places?" ”

Tong Xue rolled up the sleeves on her arms, revealing two arms covered with bruises, "I rolled down the stairs during the day, and now my whole body is very sore." ”

"The girl's body is covered with bruises, and she endures it during the day, she doesn't shout a word of pain, and she doesn't want to make a noise now, and she asks Sister Pearl to give birth to the girl to take a look."

"Things in the house are one after another, and the girl doesn't want Mrs. Hou to worry." Pearl said, let Tong Xue lie on the bed, lifted her underwear, and saw that there were less than one dark purple and white bruise of different colors on her back.

"In addition to the soreness, does the girl feel chest tightness, shortness of breath or tingling?" Pearl lowered the hem of her clothes and asked with a stern expression.

Tong Xue shook her head, no.

Pearl let Tong Xueping lie on the bed again, touched all the bones on her body, and relieved her heart when she saw that it was really fine.

"The girl's body should be fine, and she has been wiped with medicine and wine every morning and evening, and the bruise will gradually improve."

Tong Xue nodded, "There is Lao Pearl." ”

Pearl smiled slightly, "The slave should." ”

"I can't grasp the strength when picking blue and applying medicine, so it's okay to bother the pearls to give me medicine?"

Pearl nodded, asked Cai Lan to bring the medicinal wine, first applied it to her hands, rubbed her hands hot, and slowly applied it to the bruises, and after applying a layer evenly, she began to press the bruises gently, at first the movements were gentle, and slowly increased the force, so that the medicinal wine gradually penetrated, and after the medicinal wine was completely penetrated, the soft strength of the fù was restored.

It took about an hour to repeat this bruise three times, and to wipe the whole body off the top and bottom.

"It's not early, why don't pearls sleep in the home remedies with the blue, and tomorrow morning I will go with me to say hello to my mother."

"Thank you for the girl's kindness, it's just that the slave needs to get up early tomorrow to boil medicine for his wife, so it's better to retire first."

"I want to boil medicine for my mother myself, good pearls, you have to teach me tomorrow."

Tong Xue was filial piety, and the pearl was not easy to refuse, so she should go down and go to the side room with Cailan.

Early in the morning of the second day, after Tong Xue washed up, she took Cai Lan and pearls to the Rising Sun Hall.

The two of them were almost an hour earlier than tomorrow.

As soon as the people in the Rising Sun Hall got up, two little girls were cleaning the courtyard with brooms.

"Sister Ying, you said that there are some evil families in our house recently, first Lu Fang hanged himself, and the second girl went to the temple to get injured, I don't know if I was injured like this, you said that Lu Fang died unjustly, and he was unwilling, and revenge came."

Tong Xue walked at the gate of the courtyard and heard two girls chewing on the root of their tongues, and suddenly stopped and stood around the corner.

"I heard Sister Yu'er say that it's because someone in our house is clamoring with Brother Fang Zi and the second girl!" Another girl said mysteriously, "Brother Fang Zi and the second girl belong to the same rabbit, and the tiger and the rabbit are rushing together, and they heard that they were rushed by the tiger!" ”

When Tong Xue heard this, she looked angry on her face, her eyes inadvertently swept over the pearl, and she saw that the pearl's complexion changed slightly.

Pearl is one year older than Lu Fang, and it is a tiger.

"I got together early in the morning to chew the root of my tongue, and the yard was not swept yet? Don't think that the house has been busy lately, you can do whatever you want! Before Tong Xue started, Pearl had already walked through the courtyard gate with an angry face.

When the two little girls saw that it was her, they hurriedly lowered their heads.

"I've seen Sister Pearl." The head was lowered, and there was panic in his voice, but the reaction was the same, and it was as if he had rehearsed it many times in his heart.

Tong Xue stood in place, feeling that today's drama was hit by her.

Cai Lan saw that her footsteps did not move, and she looked at each other.

Tong Xue raised her index finger and shook it at her.

Cai Lan stood silently beside her.

"Where did you hear that?" Pearl was obviously very angry, regardless of Tong Xue's lack of appearance, she first reprimanded the two sweeping girls.

"Back to Sister Pearl's words, the slave maid listened to it, and you can't do it, don't take it to heart!"

Pearl snorted coldly, "Mrs. Hou hates these things that pretend to be ghosts the most, and you still look decent, don't you want to stay in the mansion?" Don't you honestly recruit the rumor-mongers! ”

The two little girls looked at me with a blank look, I looked at you, and finally shook their heads in unison, "The slave is talking about fun, Sister Pearl don't take it seriously!" ”
