The night stained dust was startled, but it quickly stabilized. He was hiding in the shadows, and Xiao Yihuan had no way to see her.

But she must have felt his gaze, so she subconsciously looked over.

This kind of keen insight is not something that ordinary people have.

Is she really the waste lady who was raised in the countryside by Xiao Dehou?

"This king asked you to check her life history, did you really find out?"

"The subordinates have indeed checked carefully, she was sent to the countryside by Anyang Hou since she was a child, and she has never returned. As for her experience in the countryside, her subordinates asked people to inquire, but they only heard that she was arrogant and domineering, and there was no good word. Ling Feng replied.

"If you want to know what a person is like, you really can't just listen to rumors, you have to see it with your own eyes." Ye Zhanchen looked at the figure in the courtyard, and there was a rare smile on the corner of his mouth.

Finally, Xiao Yihuan lost interest in this dilapidated and rotten palace and turned to leave.

She went outside to inquire again, especially the places where idlers gathered in the teahouse and restaurant, and what she heard was even more exaggerated than what Mama Qiao said.

Some people even said that he would eat human flesh.

Adhering to the principle of seeing is believing, Xiao Yihuan did not believe what those people said.

She has returned to the capital, and she is still afraid that she will not be able to see King Chen?

went to the pharmacy to buy a few medicines, and Xiao Yihuan went back to the Hou Mansion.

"Miss can see King Chen?" When Mama Qiao saw her coming back, she asked busily.

Xiao Yihuan shook his head, "No, he doesn't seem to live in that mansion, I'll inquire another day." ”

Mama Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that I didn't see it." ”

"Miss, lunch is ready, let's eat it while it's hot!" Mama Gu shouted.

Xiao Yihuan turned around and saw a table of very rich dishes.

The fragrance came to her nose, Xiao Yihuan beckoned Mama Qiao to sit down, handed her the dishes and chopsticks, sat down herself, picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, but suddenly noticed that something was wrong.

Last night, there was only porridge and side dishes, how could it be so hearty today?

But there was no poison in the food, she could tell it at a glance.

"Miss, eat it while it's hot, these are the best dishes of the chef in the house." Seeing that she didn't move her chopsticks, Mama Gu said politely.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't speak, this opening makes Xiao Yihuan's doubts even heavier.

Braised mutton, duck soup, fried beef with green onions, chestnut roast chicken. At first glance, there is nothing wrong with these dishes.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that mutton is warm and duck meat is cold, and these two are not suitable for eating together. Beef and chestnuts are also compatible, and if you eat them together, you are likely to have bloating and vomiting.

Mama Gu probably deliberately took these dishes to her to eat, just to let her be poisoned to death by this restrained food unconsciously!

If you can't come now, you can use a trick in secret, which is really insidious!

"You said this is the chef's specialty, but when I eat it, why do I feel salty?" Xiao Yihuan pressed down Mama Qiao's chopsticks, turned her head and said to Mama Gu.

"How so? The cook in this house was born in the imperial dining room. Mama Gu said.

Xiao Yihuan handed over the chopsticks in his hand, "I don't believe you can taste it." ”

Mama Gu took the chopsticks and took a bite of braised mutton, but she didn't notice anything wrong with the taste.

Xiao Yihuan motioned for her to taste the rest of the dishes, even though she was unhappy in her heart, she could only taste it.

"The slave thinks it tastes just right." Mama Gu said that she was about to put down her chopsticks, but was stopped by Xiao Yihuan.

"Since Mama Gu thinks it's okay, then these dishes will be eaten by Mama Gu. Mama Qiao and I just came from the countryside, and I'm afraid we can't get used to eating good things. ”

Mama Gu's face turned white all of a sudden.

She knew that these dishes could not be eaten together, and if they ate them, something would happen. But Xiao Yihuan said this, and she couldn't shirk it.

"Mama eat it quickly, this dish won't taste good if it's cold." Xiao Yihuan said, and pushed the dish in front of Mama Gu.

I saw Mama Gu frantically stuffing vegetables into her mouth, and it didn't take long for a few dishes to bottom out.

Xiao Yihuan knew in her heart that the reason why she ate so quickly was to spit out all the vegetables before digesting them.

Unfortunately, she won't have that chance.

"Mama Gu, look at you, the saltiest thing is this duck soup, you actually drank it all, I panicked for you, Mama Qiao, go pour a cup of tea!"

The tea was brought soon, and Xiao Yihuan personally fed it to Mama Gu, where did she still have a reason not to drink?

After two cups of tea, it will be difficult to spit out what you have eaten before.

Xiao Yihuan went to the kitchen to get the pastries and came back, and as soon as she entered the yard, she saw Mama Qiao standing in front of the dead begonia in a daze.

"If there was no Madame, the Hou Mansion would not have survived to this day. But who would have thought that what kind of life the lady who is infinitely beautiful in the eyes of outsiders is living here. ”

Xiao Yihuan saw hatred in Mama Qiao's eyes.

The hatred was deep, like a flame.

"She is like this begonia, no matter how glamorous and beautiful she used to be, she ended up with this dead ending."

Xiao Yihuan's mind suddenly appeared with a woman's weak face, her lips were pale, and she seemed to use all her strength to say to her: "Huan'er, my mother will not be able to protect you in the future......"

Then, she looked out the window, and the begonia flowers were withering.

"Mama Qiao, tell me, is there another secret to my mother's death?" Xiao Yi asked happily.

Mama Qiao's face changed suddenly.

"Miss, the slave maid's words are just casual words, and they don't mean anything else, so don't take them to heart."

The more she was like this, the more doubts in Xiao Yihuan's heart became.

It's just that looking at Mama Qiao like this, she is afraid that she will not be able to ask anything from her.

But one day, she will know the truth.

Xiao Yihuan returned to the room and took off the veil from his face.

The face under the veil is still miserable, but it is much better than yesterday.

This is also thanks to the poisoned food, which made her face better by fighting poison with poison.

After a few more days of recuperation, you will be able to regain your original appearance.

When the time comes, she will make the people of the capital amazed her!

"Ah, what's wrong with my sister's face?" Suddenly a voice came from the door.

Xiao Yihuan didn't notice the approaching footsteps, but he didn't rush to put the veil on.

"I've been like this since I was a child, I'm afraid I won't be saved."

She looked a little familiar with the person who came, and Xiao Yihuan knew her identity without too much guessing-

Xiao Dehou's pearl in the palm of his hand, the first talented woman in the capital, Xiao Changle.

"How so? Since it is a disease, it can be cured. There is a reclusive doctor in Lion Ridge, and I have some friendship with him, so I can let him treat you. ”

This was said sincerely, and Xiao Yihuan didn't see anything wrong.

Could it be that in this Hou Mansion, there is really a person who treats her sincerely?
