Chapter 248: Poison Plan and Life (Double Change in One)
Qi Miao found that the box that had been placed in the dark compartment was gone.
To make sure it was indeed missing, she put on her deerskin gloves again, and then reached into the hidden compartment and touched it.
It was empty.
She quickly closed the dark compartment and summoned Summer Frost.
"Sister Xia Shuang, during the time I was not in Mingyue Pavilion, someone else came to us." Qi Miao asked, I spent almost a whole day in the government office with my mother today.
Xia Shuang thought about it seriously, then shook her head, "No." ”
Qi Miao nodded slightly, then got up and went to Begonia Garden.
Shen was sitting there drinking tea, and Baozhu pinched her shoulder.
Tired all day and feeling sick.
Seeing Qi Miao, Shen immediately smiled and said, "Miao'er, I don't have a good rest in the room after a tired day." ”
Qi Miao looked at Baozhu and said softly, "Sister Baozhu, I want to whisper a few words to my mother." ”
"Okay, slave and maid go and guard the door." Orb smiled softly, and immediately walked out of the room and closed the door.
"What's wrong?" Shen asked softly.
"Mother, the thing in my room is gone, look at you, it's still there." Qi Miao lowered his voice and replied.
"These dog thieves are really monstrous." Shen couldn't help but grit his teeth and scold.
She immediately got up and went to the inner room, followed by Qi Miao.
Shen opened the hidden compartment where the things were hidden, and it was empty.
Originally, there was also a small box in the dark compartment, and the contents of the box were the same as the one Qi Miao had lost.
Closing the dark grid, Shen clenched his fists, "Miao'er, you guessed right." They're really going to fight that thing, thief. This time, I want you to have no return. ”
That's right, let them have no return today.
The corners of Qi Miao's lips lifted slightly.
After the theft of the day. She had a gut feeling that the thief was spying on her somewhere, so she deliberately took the box out of the dark compartment and opened it to look at it.
When the thief left, she put embroidery needles in the outer box and poisoned the box, while the small box inside contained other treasures.
If those people don't come to steal, forget it, if they dare to come, they will definitely die without a place to be buried.
Just take the box. The embroidery needle will puncture their palms, and the poison will penetrate through the wound into the body, and by the time something is wrong, it is not far from death.
She didn't use the poison of blood to seal her throat, but a chronic poison.
Death is too fast, first, it is too cheap for those people, they have to be tortured slowly, and second, if they die, who will transfer the box to the hands of those behind the scenes.
She's not in a hurry anyway. Wait for the news to come slowly.
Two days later, portraits of the five people who had previously surrendered were plastered all over the streets and alleys of the capital, causing a lot of discussion among the people in Beijing for a while, and there was an uproar.
But it works. Jin Zhutou really collected some useful clues.
The Blue Water Pavilion of the Hou of Anning's Mansion.
The courtyard door was closed, and it was quiet inside, and there was not the slightest movement.
Seemingly quiet compound. In fact, the inner room was about to catch fire.
In the inner room, there are three people, Fleur, the pock-faced maid and Mother Le, all of whom are extremely ugly. It looks like someone has spilled ink.
“…… It's all your own cleverness that says you can get it. And now what is the result?
We lost ten people at once, and even the master was almost killed, I really doubt that you deliberately came to frame us, what are you in your head......" Fleur pointed at the pock-faced maid and scolded again in complaining mode.
In her rage, Fleur's face was hideous, and her voice was sharp and ugly.
Not to be outdone, the pock-faced maid snorted coldly and retorted, "Fleur, don't pretend to be smart there, when this girl said this idea, who said that the idea was wonderful?"
When you have merit, you take it on yourself, and when something happens, you push the responsibility on me, what are you and me? Am I that good at bullying?
Fleur, I warn you again, if you dare to scold me again next time, I will never spare you.
Also, if it weren't for saving you, how could those five people die?
Furong, didn't you pat your chest to ensure that Qi Changxin would obey you?
But the result? At the critical moment, he won't help you speak, if he really loves you, how can he be willing to let you go to the yamen to suffer, because you still have the face to show off to us every day, in the end you are a joke, I really don't know why the master chose you to complete this task in the first place. ”
"Ugly bastard, are you accusing the master of having no eyes?" Fleur asked rhetorically, raising an eyebrow.
"Phew, I didn't say that, aunt and grandmother, I am hundreds of times more beautiful than you, how can you be like a ghost or a ghost. Don't think that when others call you a hibiscus girl, you are really beautiful like a hibiscus flower in June. The pock-faced maid immediately retorted.
"I'm just more beautiful than you, what's the use of you not being convinced, your face was sprinkled with sesame seeds when your mother gave birth to you......" Fleur pointed to her pockmarked face and mocked.
The pock-faced maid was so angry that she smashed the cup at Fleur.
Fleur dodged and tried to fight back.
Mother Le hurriedly blocked the favor of the two, and scolded with a calm face, "Have you made enough trouble!" ”
Fleur and the pock-faced maid had no choice but to swallow the words that came to their mouths, and then closed their mouths and did not dare to say more.
It can be seen that Mother Le is very authoritative for them.
Mother Le reprimanded, "Look at what kind of system the two of you have become when you quarrel back and forth, we are our own people, not enemies and enemies, both of you are at fault in this matter, and no one can shirk the responsibility, so wait to be punished when you go back."
Something has already happened, what's the use of complaining, what we have to think about now is how to complete the task, and go to the master in the future to atone for the sin, which is more important than anything else.
The next time I see you quarrelling, I will immediately send you back to your master to receive your punishment. ”
Fleur and the pock-faced maid were scolded speechless, and no matter how dissatisfied they were, they didn't dare to refute it.
Mother Le said again, "Really speaking, if the matter is messed up this time, you can't blame it all, it's mainly the Shen family and Qi Wu who are making trouble."
If we want it to happen, we have to work more on their mother and daughter. ”
"In my opinion, they are directly excluded. It is a curse to save and keep it. The pock-faced maid immediately responded.
"Foolish again, they died. Who's going to tell us where things are? Mother Le glared at her,
Fleur immediately threw a mocking smile at the pock-faced maid. Then he said, "Then let's use my method, it's just that Qi Wu and the Shen family have always been extremely hostile to me, they don't believe in me, it's hard to gain their trust, we have to find someone who makes them trust." ”
Fleur said sadly.
There is a way, and when the time comes, she won't worry about not telling the truth.
The key is the lack of manpower.
"Pick one of the people around them." Le's mother said.
"It doesn't work, the minions around their mother and daughter are all loyal and ruthless, and they are not servants of the Qi family. The family is not here, and coercion and temptation are useless. The pock-faced maid shook her head, denying Mother Le's idea.
"Then think of another way." Mother Le had no choice but to say so.
The pock-faced maid furrowed her brows and groaned, and after a while she said, "I have a candidate, but she won't be here for a while." ”
Mother Le immediately said, "The master has ordered us not to be in a hurry, so we can wait a few days before we do it." Right now, the Shen mother and daughter are also on guard. It's not a good time to start, and it's a good idea to wait for them to relax before they do it. ”
After some consultation, several people finally decided on the next move.
For the time being, stay put, and wait for the arrival of the man the pock-faced maid said.
Time flies. It's the end of September in a blink of an eye, and the weather has cooled, but there is still not much clue about the case of Jin Zhutou.
Although some clues have been collected before. But after some careful inquiry, it was found that it was not very useful.
The last day of September. Lord Rong Zhao was overjoyed to have a son.
When the news spread, not only the Yan family rejoiced. Emperor Yuan Cheng and the empress were also very happy and gave the children countless food and clothing.
The Yan family opened a porridge shop to give porridge, firstly to thank God for his love, and secondly, to accumulate blessings for the children.
On the day of washing, Qi Miao went to the county lord's mansion with her mother to say goodbye.
As soon as they entered the house, they were greeted warmly.
Qi Miao, not only the Lord of Rong Zhao and Yan Fanfeng and his wife, the Yan family is full of gratitude to her, thinking that Rong County can have a child, she is indispensable, it is she who has adjusted the body of the Lord of Rong Zhao.
There were a lot of guests who came to congratulate today, the county lord's mansion was full of joy, Yan Wu and Yan Liu were responsible for greeting Qi Miao, and Shen was talking and chatting with other ladies.
However, as soon as Shen entered the flower hall, he saw the person he didn't want to see - Lin.
Since being injured by Xu Jincheng last year, the Lin family has not left the gate of the Xu Mansion for half a year, and it was the most gloomy and desperate day in the Lin family's life.
Her husband is ruthless, her son is not angry, the two most important people in her life have disappointed her, where is there hope, and even the thought of death has been moved.
This time, her son's middle move can be regarded as fighting for her face, and she has some hope for the future.
Seeing the Shen family, Lin's eyes were cold, and she thought that the pain she suffered at the beginning was all due to the Shen family.
But the advice of her father-in-law and husband was still echoing in her ears, and she had to suppress the hatred in her heart, and got up to greet the Shen family with a smile, "Third Lady Qi, but I haven't seen you for a long time, everything has been fine recently." ”
In front of everyone's eyes, no matter how much the Shen clan disliked the Lin clan, it was difficult to show it.
Shen replied with a slight smile, "Yes, I haven't seen Mrs. Xu for almost a year." ”
"Yes, this year's body is not angry, stumbling, and now with the joy of Lord Rongzhao, my body is completely well." Lin said with a smile.
The red mole on the center of the eyebrows was bright like blood.
Lin took Shen's hand, and the two sat together and talked.
“…… Third Mrs. Qi, when Lord Qi comes back, let's be a guest together, I want to talk to you about myself. Lin said.
"Hehe, thank you Mrs. Xu for your kindness, but we don't dare to go to Xu's Mansion again." Shen smiled and shook his head in refusal.
The irony on her lips fell into Lin's eyes very clearly, she knew what Shen meant by what she said, and her face sank again.
"Third Mrs. Qi, a year has passed, do you still remember, the children were young at that time, and they were not sensible, Che'er can be said to be reborn now, and it will never be the same as before." Lin immediately changed his son's name.
"Hehe, congratulations to Mrs. Xu." Shen smiled perfunctorily.
Whether Xu Che has become better or worse has nothing to do with her, and she is not interested at all.
Because of Shen's cold attitude, he and Lin separated without saying a few words.
Yan Wu and Yan Liu took Qi Miao to the back garden to enjoy the flowers.
The back garden is planted with a lot of rare famous chrysanthemums, which are blooming strongly at this time.
After the three of them gossiped a little, Miss Yan Liu blinked her dark eyes and asked Qi Miao sweetly, "Fifth Miss Qi, do you say that the ten-pound cousin will come back to congratulate the fourth aunt." ”
"Ugh! I don't know. Qi Miao was stunned for a moment, and then replied.
She didn't know how Yan Liu could ask her about Luo Ziqing.
Don't mention Luo Ziqing, as soon as he mentions him, Qi Miao can't help but miss him, hoping to see him at this moment, and then pounce into his arms to pour out the pain of parting.
Qi Miao was shocked by this thought, but she knew that it was all a strange memory, not from her own heart.
She can conclude that the owner of the strange memory in her mind must have a very close relationship with Luo Ziqing, otherwise, she would never have such a strong feeling for him.
It's just a pity that Luo Ziqing doesn't know who this person is.
Yan Liu smiled lightly and said, "Didn't my ten-catty cousin write to you?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Qi Miao suddenly understood something.
Yan Liu should be interested in Luo Ziqing, and he asked him like this, not only to inquire about his current situation, but also to know what his relationship with himself was.
In order not to let Yan Liu misunderstand anything, Qi Miao shook his head lightly, "Brother Luo has never written to me, so I don't know if he will come back this time, let alone how he is now."
By the way, Miss Yan Liu, how is Brother Luo doing in the barracks now? ”
In fact, she can receive letters from Luo Ziqing almost every month.
In the letter, he recounted the details of life in the barracks, and at the same time missed her.
Qi Miao's answer made Yan Liu is mixed feelings.
The good thing is that Luo Ziqing has never treated Qi Miao differently, but the worry is that she is the same as Qi Miao, he didn't write to her, not even a word.
Yan Liu didn't answer Qi Miao immediately, she didn't want Qi Miao to know that Luo Ziqing was cold to her.
The straightforward Yan Wu replied, "After my cousin went to the barracks, I sent a letter to the fourth aunt, saying that he was at ease over there, so we don't have to worry about it." ”
This is indirectly said, and Luo Ziqing did not write to Yan Liu.
Yan Liu's face turned pale and pursed his lips.
Qi Miao chuckled and said, "Brother Luo is fine, but he is very busy in the military camp all day, and he may not have the time to write a letter to Miss Yan Liu." ”
"Yes, my ten-pound cousin is indeed very busy." Yan Liu immediately responded.
This is not only a response to Qi Miao, but also a self-comfort, and the mood is slightly better.
Alas, I hope that Miss Yan Liu can make her dream come true.
However, even if Luo Ziqing also likes Miss Yan Liu, the Yan family may not agree to this family business, after all, his current situation is still a little embarrassing.
Brother Luo, you must work hard to get ahead as soon as possible, and then avenge yourself and restore your reputation.
Qi Miao sighed softly in her heart and silently blessed Luo Ziqing.
"Qi Fifth Girl, Yan Fifth Girl, Yan Sixth Girl, the three of them are enjoying the flowers." When Qi Miao was distracted, Xu Che's pleasant voice suddenly came to his ears. (To be continued.) )
