[29] Poisoning
In a place like Guozijian, those who read dead books are not suitable for their sons. Hua Xiyan forced her son to endorse the book, but she didn't want to see her son become a little nerd. Until Changfu mentioned that there were three procedures for assessing children to enter the national prison in the Heavenly Enlightenment Ceremony. One of them, the treasure house of the Guozijian is opened, and every child has the opportunity to summon treasures, and whichever child grabs it, the treasure will naturally belong to which.
The treasure of the prince of Bai Changguo? The delicate little eyebrows were raised, revealing a little interest.
What Hua Xiyan thought was that of course she had to take some of these treasures, and after taking them, she would sell them for silver. However, not everyone can participate in the Celestial Enlightenment Ceremony. Generally, it is a relative of the emperor or a prominent family like the Hua family to be eligible.
Changfu stood beside him, waiting for her to reply.
Outside the door, two maids came, and the one who walked in front was an older one, fifteen or sixteen, and a beautiful woman with a pointed chin, and walked up to Hua Xiyan and called a thousand: "Miss, it's still early for dinner, and the master asked the kitchen to prepare two bowls of bird's nest for the eldest lady and the little young master." β
The little maid in the back walked up with a plate, and saw two palm-sized blue and white porcelain bowls, the soup was clear and thick, and the soup noodles were floating with a few wolfberry almonds.
Hua Xiyan picked up a bowl and gestured as if she wanted to taste it. Li Dongyu stared at her bowl of soup, his throat tightened slightly: according to his intuition, there seemed to be something wrong with this soup.
Changfu looked at the two maids, and a look of puzzlement flashed across his face.
When the mouth of the bowl was about to touch her lips, it suddenly turned out, and the soup inside did not leak at all, and it was all splashed on the little girl's face. Everyone was stunned.
The eldest maid knelt down: "Miss, I don't know what happened to the slave?" β
Hua Xiyan only looked at the little girl coldly. Seeing that the little maid was struggling for a while, she suddenly threw away the plates and bowls in her hand, covered her face with both hands, and knelt on the ground and convulsed: "My face, my face, the eldest lady spares her life!" β
Is bird's nest soup hot?
But the soup that falls to the ground and spills is not hot at all.
It's poison!
Changfu's heart was splashed with water, half of it was cold, and he yelled at the two maids: "Presumptuous!" Who asked you to bring it! β
The big girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "It's the master, it's the master who asked the kitchen to prepare." β
"Dare to say that it is a master? Will the master harm the eldest lady and the younger master? Changfu stretched out his hand and was about to slap the big girl.
"Wait." Hua Xiyan suddenly interjected.
Changfu hurriedly clarified to her: "Miss, this matter is absolutely impossible for the master to do. β
Maybe Hua Zhengke complains a lot about this waste daughter, but the so-called tiger poison does not eat children, and Hua Zhengke has no need to do this kind of thing.
Hua Xiyan only looked at the looks of these two maids, and from the moment they stepped into the door, they were paying attention, and they didn't look like they were in her stepmother Liu's room: "Do you know which room they are?" β
Changfu replied with some hesitation: "Aunt Chen's room." But, Aunt Chen, sheβ"
"Aunt Chen is pregnant, isn't she?"
Changfu raised his head to look at Hua Xiyan's eyes flashing with a hint of surprise. Hua Xiyan has not been in the mansion for many years, how can she come in and know about it.
"When I met my father and mother in the main hall, I didn't see Aunt Chen." Of course, Hua Xiyan didn't know that Hua Zhengke had married several new concubines in the past few years since she left. It's just that as long as I don't see it in the main hall, and Changfu said that there is an Aunt Chen, I want to get this Aunt Chen, and she must be Hua Zhengke's new favorite.
By being pregnant, she couldn't even listen to Liu's words, and if she didn't come to the main hall, she could only be spoiled by Hua Zhengke.
Changfu admired her inference so much that he threw himself to the ground. Hua Xiyan's return this time is simply a makeover.
It can be inferred that in order to deal with the Liu family, Aunt Chen should have come to win her over Hua Xiyan. Therefore, these two bowls of bird's nest soup were indeed ordered by Aunt Chen according to Hua Zhengke's back to Liu's instructions, and asked the kitchen to prepare them for their mother and son. It's a pity that how can you escape Liu's eyes.
Kill with a knife!
Changfu twisted his eyebrows vigorously: Now that the human and material evidence is not in favor of Aunt Chen, if this matter is poked out and reported to Hua Zhengke, if someone fanned the flames, maybe Aunt Chen would be on it?
The little maid was so vicious that she kept rolling on the ground. The big girl wiped her tears and snot and said, "It wasn't my master who did it!" Please Miss Mingjian. β
Changfu was at a loss, and he didn't know whether to find someone to escort these two people to the government or to the master, so as to earn justice for Hua Xiyan, or to cover up this matter and leave Aunt Chen's life.
Hua Xiyan was more worried that this scene would scare her son, and when she turned her head, her son was sitting obediently on the chair, and she was not shocked by the honor and disgrace, which made her muttered again in her heart: Is this really her son Xiaomu? If it weren't for Xiao Mumu, how could it look exactly the same as Xiao Mu Mu?
"Changfu, go and ask Aunt Chen to come over. Her people, of course, let her dispose of herself as well. Seeing that Changfu was still stunned, Hua Xiyan waved his hand.
Changfu thought about it, yes, of course, this matter can't let the third person succeed, it's best to let Aunt Chen come over to witness it.
Liu looked at the top tailors in the capital and helped her precious son Hua Yueyu to measure it. Hua Yueyu put on the newly made clothes and put on a pose to show the Liu family: "Mother, how is it?" β
"Beautiful." Liu put down the teacup and asked his son to come over and look left and right, satisfied.
Her son is the most remarkable, the only heir to inherit the Flower Mansion in the future.
Wang suddenly hurried in from outside and whispered in Liu's ear.
"What did you say?" Liu's complexion changed suddenly.
Wang knelt down: "Madam, don't worry, they can't find it." β
Liu's brows tightened again: "Didn't the dirty water splash that vixen?" β
"That's the weirdness of that. I heard that I covered it. The more Wang thought about it, the more strange he felt, "How could it be?" When she was in Huafu before, Aunt Chen didn't enter Huafu? β
Liu's palms were hot, and he was even a little upset: this stepdaughter she grew up watching since she was a child, she was obviously a waste, how could she change so much?
Now, there is no way to make their mother and son poison and give up participating in the ceremony, next, is the mother and son really going to participate in the ceremony? Why are you so upset?
"Mother." Hua Yueyu raised her arrogant eyebrows, "That wild seed, I can't let him participate in the ceremony, I don't want to be with him, he will lower my status." β
But in this matter, even if they begged Hua Zhengke not to let Hua Xiyan's mother and son participate.
The father-in-law who came from the royal family officially sent the invitation to the ceremony to Huafu. Hua Zhengke took it with both hands, and after opening the fold, he saw the names of two children on it, and he was slightly surprised: "Father-in-law, this-"
Regarding not letting Hua Xiyan's son participate, Hua Zhengke was hesitating in his heart, first, for fear that the reputation of Huafu would be affected after the little waste went, and second, he was worried that the Liu family would make trouble at home.
Unexpectedly, when did the royal family know that Hua Xiyan brought his son back. Moreover, Hua Xiyan, this child is a wild seed, it stands to reason that the royal family should not look down on him, how could he write him in the invitation.
The father-in-law smiled lightly at Hua Zhengke's body: "Actually, this name was added by His Royal Highness the Prince." β
