Chapter 46: Poisoning and Framing
On February Erlong raised his head, the Xia family has always attached great importance to the solar terms, and on this day invited a special barber to cut the hair of the family's errand and maids, so as to be auspicious.
Song Lingyue took care of Su Lianyi, and it was inconvenient to go out, so she took a pair of small scissors, and the two cut each other's hair, which was regarded as a haircut.
After breakfast, Su Lianyi pestered Song Lingyue to read to her, but Song Lingyue had no choice but to go to the study.
Xia Yeqing didn't go to the customs, when Song Lingyue knocked on the door and went in, he was reviewing documents in the study, and when he saw her come in, Xia Yeqing was obviously stunned, and then thought of something, took out the book from the drawer in front of him, and handed it to her.
Song Lingyue hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is the chief also watching?" If you want to see it, I can change it to something else. ”
Xia Yeqing shook his head and said casually: "I just flipped through it last night and put it in the drawer, I have never been interested in these stories of love and love, you can take it!" Well! He got up and stretched forward.
Song Lingyue stepped forward to take it and was about to leave, but Xia Yeqing stopped her again, turned the pen in one hand, and asked casually, "What do you think of Rochester in the book?" ”
Song Lingyue thought for a while and said: "I think he is stubborn but not manly, he is a good man, but I still like the heroine, she is strong, independent, firm and persistent in pursuing her ideals, she is a brave person, I admire her very much." ”
Xia Yeqing's eyes suddenly deepened, and a sentence almost blurted out, but when she touched her gaze, she swallowed it back, and said in a light tone: "Very good, then you go!" I still have documents to review. ”
Song Lingyue nodded, retreated with interest, and then closed the door, and met Chun Tao walking over with soup, the two glanced at each other, and then staggered their gazes.
Chun Tao walked to Song Lingyue's side, looked in the direction of the study, and asked puzzledly, "Why did you come out of the study?" When the uncle reviewed the documents, only Adjutant Zhang could go in, and when you went in, didn't he get angry? ”
Song Lingyue didn't know about his habit, shook the book in his hand, and explained: "Mrs. wanted to listen to the book again, I went in and took it out, but he didn't say anything." ”
When Chun Tao heard her address to Xia Yeqing, she was even more puzzled, remembering what the eldest lady had said to her, asking her to keep an eye on Song Lingyue, she felt that it was too much to do before, but now it seems that it is indeed necessary.
I had an idea in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face, pretending not to care about her words, and said with a smile: "Then let's go in together!" It's time for my wife to drink soup. led Song Lingyue into the bedroom together.
At noon, the kitchen made spring cakes, Su Lianyi has been drinking soup for the past few days, there is no taste in her mouth, she begged Song Lingyue, let her go to the kitchen to get a spring cake, want to change the taste, she rarely took the initiative to ask for food, Song Lingyue couldn't bear to refuse, went to the kitchen to get one for her, and brought a bowl of lean porridge for her to digest.
Su Lianyi hadn't eaten any other food for a long time, she had a big appetite for a while, she ate all the spring cakes and porridge, and she was a little sleepy after eating, Song Lingyue served her to sleep, and withdrew with an empty evening plate.
Su Lianyi woke up coughing in her sleep, and wanted to call someone over, but she vomited a mouthful of blood, she scratched her chest in pain, struggled to get out of bed, but the blood in her mouth became more and more, her eyes were dark, and she fell off the bed.
Xia Yeqing came back from lunch in the main courtyard, he always felt uncomfortable, and he didn't know what was wrong, he turned around in the study, but he couldn't settle down, Song Lingyue said that Su Lianyi was asleep, he was still not at ease, put down the pen, got up and went to the bedroom.
As soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, Xia Yeqing's eyes widened in horror, Su Lianyi fell to the ground, there was no movement, and the snow-white sheets were covered with dots of blood, which was shocking.
"Lotus clothes, lotus clothes!" Xia Yeqing roared loudly and flew towards Su Lianyi.
"Someone, come on, call a doctor, call a doctor!"
The doctor rushed to Xia's house as fast as possible, but he was still one step too late, Su Lianyi was already breathing, and the rescue could not be saved.
It was a festive day, but the Xia family was cloudy, shrouded in deep sorrow, the servants at home were busy arranging the mourning hall and preparing for the funeral, and Xia Yeqing locked himself in the study, and no one called him and refused to come out.
Adjutant Zhang was afraid that he wouldn't be able to open it, and he couldn't get in after knocking on the door outside for a long time, so he didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to knock on the door, so he paced anxiously outside.
Song Lingyue was brought to the old lady, and before she could react, she was tied up from her residence by several messengers.
The old lady's face was gloomy and terrible, and she pressed Song Lingyue to the ground, she snuggled her mouth, got up and gave Song Lingyue a heavy slap, and scolded viciously: "Slut, you seduced Yeqing, I have tolerated you again and again, but you are ambitious, you actually poisoned the lotus clothes, and your conscience was eaten by dogs." ”
Song Lingyue's eyes widened in horror, "I didn't, I didn't poison it, old lady, I really didn't ......"
"Slap" a slap, this time he changed to Xia Ye Hibiscus to fight, his strength was so great that he directly hit Song Lingyue to the ground, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood.
"The doctor has already experienced, the blood spit out by my sister-in-law is poisonous, and the people in the kitchen came to report that you secretly brought lunch over, and you said that you were not poisoned, so the ghost believes it."
When the words fell, Xia Yejin went over and lifted Song Lingyue up, and there were a few backhand slaps, and Song Lingyue was bleeding from her mouth and nose, and the corners of her mouth were swollen, and she couldn't speak, and threw her to the ground again, and finally let out a bad breath.
clapped his hands in disgust, walked up to the old lady, and began to fan the flames, "Grandmother, this little slut doesn't know what to do, so she simply ended her, and the province has a lot of dreams at night." ”
The old lady paced two steps uncertainly, keeping her in the Xia family, but she was also afraid of leaking the news, so she took the opportunity to finish her off, but it was a hundred, and the Xia family died one or two people, and there was still no need to explain to anyone, but now Su Lianyi had an accident, and it was inevitable that it would be unlucky to add another life to this juncture.
After thinking about it, he still locked her up first, waited for Su Lianyi's funeral to pass before making plans, turned his head and instructed Xia Yejin: "Lock her up in the firewood room at the back, don't give her food and drink, and make plans after three days." ”
Xia Yejin didn't want Song Lingyue to die so happily, the old lady's plan was exactly what he wanted, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he raised his hand to the outsider, and couldn't help but say, let them drag Song Lingyue to the firewood room.
Song Lingyue was thrown in the pile of firewood and grass, the ropes on her hands and feet were still tied, and Xia Yejin sent the messenger out, half-squatted in front of Song Lingyue, pinched her chin with one hand, and pulled her face.
"Aren't you amazing? Why didn't you expect to see today? Well? ”
Song Lingyue's heart was like ashes, the old lady didn't even give her a chance to explain, she obviously wanted her to die, Su Lianyi went, Xia Yeqing was extremely sad, maybe she thought it was her hands and feet, and hated her, it was impossible to let him help, and now that it is in the hands of Xia Yejian, there must be no way to live.
Xia Yejin saw that she didn't speak, and her hand increased her strength, and Song Lingyue's cheeks ached, and a slight cry of pain came out of her throat, but she refused to open her mouth and beg for mercy.
"Do you dare to be stubborn? Okay, then you can wait here to die! As soon as Su Lianyi's funeral is over, I will let you die a happy death, this is the end of your refusal to obey me, hum! ”
Summer Night Hibiscus shook her off, locked the door of the firewood room, put the key in his coat pocket, and walked away.
That night, the eldest lady learned the news of Su Lianyi's death from the mouth, and also heard that Song Lingyue had poisoned and framed her, and she had been disposed of by the old lady.
Xia Yeqing came out of the mourning hall, changed into black clothes, and went to the warm pavilion.
The eldest lady was smashing things, crying and laughing, and the servants did not dare to approach, but persuaded them from a distance at the door, but the eldest lady couldn't listen at all, grabbed the jewelry box on the dressing table, and threw it out.
Xia Yeqing walked to the door, dodged, and the jewelry box flew out of his side, and the jewelry inside fell to the ground, allowing the maid to clean up and enter the room alone.
