In the kitchen, the three of them eat the latest. After the masters and girls in the courtyard have eaten, they will clean up the remaining battlefield. Of course, if there is a good dish, they must secretly save a little of it.

The dishes were put on the table, and Liu's mother beckoned the few of them to eat.

There is a soup on the table today, which is stewed with American ginseng and suckling pigeon stewed for the masters, with a layer of oil flowers floating on it.

Mother Liu enthusiastically filled a bowl for each of them.

The new cook, Mrs. Sun, asked suspiciously, "Didn't you serve all the soup today to the masters?"

Mother Liu said with a smile: "Walnut said that Aunt Hua didn't like greasy soup these two days, so she didn't take it away, leaving us to take a full mouth." I remixed a little water back into the pot. ”

Grandma Sun praised happily: "I heard that this soup is very nourishing, and it is a waste not to drink it." ”

Picking up the bowl in his hand, he took a big sip, and then frowned: "Why does this soup have a little strange taste?"

"Really?" Mama Liu picked up the bowl casually and took a sip: "My nose has been stuffy for the past two days, and I can't drink it." Besides, no one from the masters said it was unpleasant. ”

Grandma Sun took another sip and smacked her mouth: "It's still a little bitter." ”

Then he looked inquiringly.

Xiao Xiao picked up the bowl, tasted the letter suspiciously, and lowered his eyes: "I can't taste it." ”

Grandma Sun put the bowl aside: "I have been a cook for a long time, and my tongue is more agile. I can't drink this soup. ”

Xiao Xiao held the bowl, sipped it one bite at a time, without raising his head, and soon put most of the bowl of soup into his stomach.

Mother Liu looked at her grandmother thoughtfully: "Your tongue seems to be too smart, we can't taste this soup, why don't you dare to drink it?"

"Why don't you dare to drink it?" Grandma Sun said casually: "It's too hard to drink, like mixed with medicine." ”

Mother Liu put down the rice bowl in her hand: "You can go with me to Aunt Hua's yard." ”

Grandma Sun was stunned: "What are you going to do there?"

Mother Liu said meaningfully: "You'll know when you go." ”

After a few clicks, he finished the food in the bowl and put down the rice bowl: "I'm full, I'll go to work first." ”

Mother Liu nodded: "Go ahead." ”

Then he stood up and beckoned to his grandmother: "Let's go, right now." ”

Grandma Sun was inexplicable, stood up, followed behind Liu's mother, and went straight to Hua Qianshu's yard.

Hua Qianshu had lunch and was resting on a lounge chair in the shade of the tree.

Mother Liu walked straight over and saluted: "Aunt Huihua, the old slave has added the potion to the pigeon soup according to your instructions." ”

Hua Qianshu opened her eyelids and glanced at her grandmother behind her: "And then?"

Then she drank all the soup, but she refused to drink any more. ”

Hua Qianshu smiled and asked Grandma Sun, "Why don't you drink it?" Today's soup tastes good and nourishing. ”

Grandma Sun only felt inexplicable, and didn't understand the meaning of Liu's mother and Hua Qianshu's back and forth, but just said truthfully: "Mother-in-law is more sensitive to this smell, and there is a strange smell in the soup today, so I just put it aside." If that's not right, I'll drink it even if I'm gritting my teeth. ”

Hua Qianshu turned her face and asked Liu's mother: "Have you drunk all the soup?"

Mother Liu nodded: "Yes." ”

Hua Qianshu stood up with a "pout": "Few?"

"I said I was going to work. ”

"Let's go!"

As soon as Hua Qianshu's voice fell, the person had already rushed out.

Liu Ma and the others didn't understand what they meant, and seeing her anxious face, they hurriedly followed her and went straight to the kitchen.

The kitchen was empty and empty. The dishes and chopsticks on the dinner table have not been cleaned up yet.

Mother Liu said suspiciously: "Where did you go? I don't know how to clean up this kitchen." ”

Hua Qianshu rushed out again without hesitation: "Hurry up and find it." ”

The crowd received the order and immediately searched near the kitchen.

Liu's mother went straight to the firewood room where she was working.

The door of the firewood room was closed, and Liu's mother pushed it, but the door seemed to be stuck by something.

"Few, are you in there?" asked Liu's mother aloud.

pushed the door panel hard, and only then did he open a crack, revealing a few green cloth coarse dresses.

He was lying behind the door, his body stuck in the door.

"Few!" Liu Ma shouted, and leaned in and kicked her: "Why are you lying here and lazy?"

Then, leaning over, she saw the blood scurling on the ground, and let out a cry of horror to the apex.

The screams drew everyone in, and they pushed open the door, and they lay on the ground, no longer breathless.

At the beginning, Hua Qianshu inevitably let out a "chuckle" in his heart, lest the dose of medicine he had given was too heavy, so he was rarely poisoned.

Reaching over, the body was still warm and soft, obviously just out of breath. The head was drooped down at an eerie angle, and a sharpened firewood was stuck in his neck. The blood was still "bubbling".

The back window of the firewood room was wide open, and it was obvious that someone had just fled through the back window.

Hua Qianshu jumped out of the back window without hesitation, where was there still half a figure behind? The murderer had already fled.

Xiaoxiao was obviously killed by someone, and the reason is self-evident, that is, Hua Qianshu has become suspicious of her, and the other party is afraid that she will find out about herself again.

This is not surprising to Hua Qianshu. Because, Xiaoxiao is just a little girl who sees the wind and steers, she doesn't have such skills and ambitions, and wants to control herself. The only possibility is to be instructed by someone.

To Hua Qianshu's surprise, the person behind the scenes turned out to be a practitioner!

In a hurry, he can snap off the neck of the wine, insert a wooden stick into her artery, and shoot ruthlessly, and his heart is also vicious.

Hua Qianshu squatted down, grabbed her few hands, and found that the redness and swelling of her palms had not subsided.

She had really touched the well rope soaked in the potion, and the poisoning was naturally more severe.

Liu's mother carefully recalled what happened yesterday, and finally said firmly: "If you say that all three of you have touched things, it is not nothing, for example, the basin of water used to wash your hands in the kitchen is left there, and whoever has dirty hands will wash it." ”

Hua Qianshu guessed, the person who poisoned should also know a little about poison, she is very likely to have a bad premonition in her heart when she noticed the strangeness of the palm, and then soaked the half of the well rope soaked in the medicine, melted the medicine into the water, and then whoever washed his hands from the basin would also be poisoned.

The more people who are poisoned, the more they will distract Hana Chiki and transfer the suspicion to others.

However, for people who are initially poisoned, the signs of poisoning will definitely be a little more serious than others. For example, there are few palms. After Mama Liu rubbed purslane with the new cook, the redness and swelling disappeared, but the palm of her hand still did not completely subside.

It seems that his guess was correct.

Very few are the ones who poisoned them. It is precisely for this reason that in the face of Liu's mother's extremely obvious temptation, she is afraid that if she doesn't drink the soup, it will arouse Hua Qianshu's suspicions, so she naturally wants to drink it.

And after drinking it, the first thing she had to do was to find the person behind the curtain to ask for an antidote, and therefore caused herself to be killed.

There is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in this neon dress hall, in addition to herself, there are other people who are hidden deeply, and she hides deeper than herself.

What is her intention in attacking herself one after another? Is it really just to compete for favor?
