A delicate and luxurious carriage slowly stopped in front of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, Ling Fu saw the eye-catching words Anguo Houfu on the carriage from afar, Jiang Mengqi finally came, Ling Fu waited at the gate of the Hou Mansion for a morning Jiang Mengqi, this eldest lady of the Anguo Hou Mansion, sure enough, was full of shelves, it was almost noon, and the carriage of the people came to the door of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion slowly.

The maid of the Jiang family brought the curtain on the carriage, and Jiang Mengqi stepped off the horse elegantly, holding a beautiful brocade box in her hand. Ling Fu walked up to Jiang Mengqi and said with a smile: "Miss Biao, you've worked hard all the way, I'll take you to Yilan Courtyard, all the young ladies have arrived, just wait for you." ”

Saying that, Ling Fu was about to lead Jiang Mengqi into the mansion, but suddenly Jiang Mengqi stopped at the door of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion and remained motionless.

"I'd better go to my aunt's courtyard to say goodbye first, and then get together with the sisters."

Jiang Mengqi walked past Ling Fu in a quick step and strode towards Tingyuzhai.

Of course, Ling Fu knew that Jiang Mengqi would not be able to participate in Ling Man's banquet at all, he was just looking for another opportunity to get close to Jiang Mengqi, he saw the opportunity, when Jiang Mengqi was about to step over the threshold of the Hou Mansion, he leaned forward and bumped into Jiang Mengqi who was crossing the threshold, Jiang Mengqi was not careful, and almost fell, Ling Fu hurriedly supported Jiang Mengqi from behind, and he took the brocade box in Jiang Mengqi's hand with one hand.

"Miss Biao, be careful, some of the subordinates did not pay attention this morning, and spilled the rapeseed oil on this threshold, and many of them fell on their heels."

Ling Fu gently knocked on the brocade box in his hand as he spoke, only to see that there were two exquisite silk handkerchiefs inside, and he suddenly understood that this was Jiang Mengqi's embroidered brocade handkerchief, probably to give one to Ling Xi. Ling Fu suddenly felt that he was really lucky, if this thing was contaminated with poison, it would be much easier than him bothering to go down to Jiang Mengqi, and the most important thing was that it had nothing to do with him. He quietly covered the brocade box with his wide sleeves, and one hand had sprinkled the poison lightly on the silk handkerchief.

The stumbling just now made Jiang Mengqi lose her demeanor a little, after she stood firm, she slightly modified her demeanor, Ling Fu hurriedly put the brocade box in her hand with both hands, Jiang Mengqi took the brocade box in one hand and walked towards Tingyuzhai without looking back.

Ling Fu no longer followed behind Jiang Mengqi, he stood there with a wicked smile on his face, looking at Jiang Mengqi's distant back, if he could ruin Ling Xi's face, it would really kill three birds with one stone. The more he thought about it, the more proud Ling Fu couldn't help but laugh and walked towards Yilan Courtyard.

....................................................................................................................................................

"Ling Xi." Jiang Mengqi's crisp call came into Ling Xi's ears, and Ling Xi, who was still in the house just now, looked up and saw that Jiang Mengqi had already stepped into the house, and the spring breeze was walking towards her proudly.

"Cousin, why did you come, and I didn't let my subordinates inform me in advance, so I can pick you up."

As soon as Ling Xi saw Jiang Mengqi, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart, Jiang Mengqi was not only her cousin, but also her best friend in Yicheng, although sometimes Jiang Mengqi was indeed a little rude and willful to be unreasonable, but Jiang Mengqi was still a little tolerant of her, the most important thing is that Jiang Mengqi had a bad temper, but her heart was not bad, and she was not as pretentious as the lady of the family, and she could talk to her extraordinarily.

"The third lady of your family sent me a post and invited me to come to the party, I didn't want to come, but I thought that I could meet you, so I reluctantly came to the appointment."

"Are you here to see me, or do you want to come and see my brother?" Ling Xi said ill-willedly.

"You know what to say." Jiang Mengqi was a little embarrassed, she walked to the table and put away the treasure-like brocade box in her hand.

"Is Brother Ling Zhu in the house?" Suddenly, Jiang Mengqi's words changed and asked a little shyly.

"He's not here today, but if he knew you were coming, he would have been waiting for you early in the house."

When Ling Xi said this, Jiang Mengqi became even more shy, and she opened the brocade box.

"Come and see, I've got something good for you."

Ling Xi walked in and saw that there were two delicate silk handkerchiefs in the brocade box, Ling Xi suddenly thought of the sweat towel she embroidered for Ye Muzhi a few days ago, but she didn't give it away, and Jiang Mengqi's two silk handkerchiefs were really different.

"It's so pretty, where did my cousin get it?" Ling Xi couldn't help but sigh.

"I embroidered it," Jiang Mengqi said proudly, as she took out a silk handkerchief, opened it and spread it in the palm of her hand.

"These days, I have studied with the embroidery lady in the palace for a long time, and I embroidered these two silk handkerchiefs, and I don't know if Brother Ling Zhu can look up to me as an embroiderer."

"Then you should embroider a sweat towel, if you embroider this silk handkerchief, my brother won't dare to use it."

Ling Xi continued to joke about Jiang Mengqi, she also walked to Jiang Mengqi's side, and carefully looked at the silk handkerchief in her hand, it was so beautiful, Ling Xi didn't dare to pick up the other silk handkerchief in the brocade box with her hands, for fear of breaking it.

"What are you talking about, I embroidered it for you, just by the way, I asked Brother Ling Zhu, what are you talking about."

Jiang Mengqi became more and more embarrassed, and her face was flushed. While Ling Xi was making fun of Jiang Mengqi, Dr. Xu slowly walked into the house.

"Second Miss, I'll give you a safe pulse."

After speaking, Dr. Xu walked to Ling Xi's side, he glanced at the silk handkerchief on the table, he couldn't help frowning, thought for a long time, and said faintly: "This silk handkerchief seems to have a smell, can you let me take a closer look?" ”

Ling Xi looked at Doctor Xu in puzzlement, Jiang Mengqi didn't want to let her such a delicate silk handkerchief be touched by an old doctor, she hurriedly pushed and said: "Doctor Xu, I'm afraid I just smelled the smell of herbs, and my nose is out of order, my silk handkerchief was only embroidered this morning, and there are no spices, how can it smell?" ”

After speaking, Jiang Mengqi also put the silk handkerchief in his hand between his nose and smelled it, it really had no taste.

"Maybe there's poison on this veil." Doctor Xu had a solemn expression and said slowly.

As soon as Jiang Mengqi heard this, his hand trembled, and the silk handkerchief fell to the ground, Dr. Xu picked up the silk handkerchief on the ground, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and then he took out the remaining silk handkerchief in the brocade box, and took out a white porcelain bottle from the medicine box on his body, poured a few drops of the liquid in the white porcelain bottle on the silk handkerchief, and after a while, a black mark appeared on both silk handkerchiefs.

"There is really poison on this silk handkerchief." Dr. Xu said affirmatively.

Jiang Mengqi was startled, her hands kept shaking, she had held the silk handkerchief in her hand for a long time just now, was she going to die? She couldn't help but be scared.

"Doctor Xu, can you help me see, am I poisoned?" Saying that, Jiang Mengqi didn't care about etiquette, lifted her sleeves, and put her wrist in front of Dr. Xu's eyes.

After Dr. Xu finished giving Jiang Mengqi a pulse, he immediately gave Ling Xi a pulse, and he took out another celadon bottle from the medicine box.

"The second miss is fine, but Miss Jiang has been poisoned, but fortunately, this poison is not fatal, if you don't take the antidote within three hours, the skin will ulcerate, and the time will be delayed for a long time, that is, the medicine stone is useless. Miss Jiang doesn't have to worry, I happen to have relief medicine here, after Miss Jiang takes it, she will return to the house and take it for half a month according to the prescription I prescribed, and the toxins in the body will be removed, and there will be no danger. ”

As soon as Jiang Mengqi heard Dr. Xu's words, her flustered heart calmed down slightly.

"Cousin, how can your silk handkerchief be poisonous?" Ling Xi asked eagerly.

This thing is so abnormal, Jiang Mengqi clearly said that it was a silk handkerchief just embroidered in the morning, how could it be poisonous, and it was still in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, listening to Yuzhai here, if it wasn't for Dr. Xu to notice it early, not only Jiang Mengqi, but even she estimated that she might be in a catastrophe. It is obvious that the poison was directed at the two of them, but the calculation is too accurate, which shows that the poison on the silk handkerchief is very likely to be placed in Pingyuan Houli.

Jiang Mengqi tried hard to recall, she didn't seem to have opened the brocade box, let alone handed over the silk handkerchief to anyone, she shook her head and looked at Ling Xi suspiciously.

"Cousin, did you meet anyone after you entered the mansion?" Ling Xi asked again.

"I came directly to listen to Yuzhai, Ling Fu wanted to take me to Yilan Courtyard, but I ignored him at all." Suddenly, Jiang Mengqi seemed to think of something, "By the way, when I entered the door, I didn't stand firm, Ling Fu helped me, and he seemed to have touched my brocade box." ”

Ling Xi's expression became a little solemn, if Jiang Mengqi's silk handkerchief had indeed not been touched by anyone else, then it could only be that Ling Fu had done something, Ling Fu was Leng Qiuye's henchman, and it was so coincidental that Jiang Mengqi was invited by Ling Man, coincidence and coincidence, it was carefully arranged.

"If my cousin is poisoned and disfigured in Tingyuzhai, my father and uncle are afraid that they will have a disagreement, and if my cousin has only been in Tingyuzhai, even if something happens to her home, it has nothing to do with Yilan Courtyard, if something happens to me, it can also be counted on the body of the Marquis of Anguo."

"It's Aunt Leng's ghost, I'll look for her."

Jiang Mengqi, who was still in the clouds just now, reacted immediately, she had fallen for Leng Qiuye's calculation, Jiang Mengqi was angry and was about to go to Leng Qiuye to settle the account, Ling Xi hurriedly grabbed the angry Jiang Mengqi.

"Si Pa was brought by my cousin, and my cousin can't prove that the poison was under Ling Fu, so impulsively confronting Aunt Leng will only make Aunt Leng beat up, and in the end, it will still cause a misunderstanding between my father and uncle. Moreover, my cousin will marry into the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion in the future, so it is not appropriate to have a head-on conflict with Aunt Leng. ”

"Then what should I do, just eat this dumb loss." Jiang Mengqi said angrily.

"This is not good, if Aunt Leng fails to see one plan, it is estimated that another plan will be born, the open gun is easy to dodge and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, this is not a way, you still have to find a way to scare her, at least let her not dare to have bad intentions."

"What should we do?"

As soon as Jiang Mengqi heard Ling Xi's words, she knew that Ling Xi was afraid that she already had a ghost idea in her stomach, only to see Ling Xi smile strangely at her.

"Let's make an appearance at Ling Man's banquet later."
