Nalan Jinxiu was recuperated in bed for two days because of a foot injury. During this period, Jinyuan has been closed to visitors, refusing to allow everyone to visit, and she is also happy to be idle. It wasn't until the injury on her foot was completely out of the way, and the white potato sprouted that she found that the white potato sprouts were poisonous, so she was ready to go to Jiang Man's to probe the wind again.

"Jixiang, give me makeup, I'm going out. ”

Jixiang put down the work in his hand, trotted over, and said hesitantly: "You should raise it at home for a few more days." ”

"I'm going to visit my sister-in-law at the big brother's house, you hurry up and clean up for me. ”

Nalan Jinxiu had already sat down in front of the dressing table as she spoke, and Jixiang had been grinding for a long time before she started to remove her hair. Nalan Jinxiu saw that her expression was wrong, and she took it upon herself to tear apart the bun she was holding, and was dumbfounded.

What was the curly lump? Her hair? She held it in her palm and looked closely, it was less than half the length of the original, and it was obviously touched by the fire, and it was all rolled up. For the past two days, because she had injuries on her arms and feet, and she couldn't touch the water, she endured not bathing, so she didn't notice that her hair had become like this until now.

"Don't be sad, it will grow in two months. Jixiang comforted her from the side.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't listen to it at all, what woman in this world didn't care for her hair? She took good care of her hair and raised her hair so well, but now that she is on fire, it has become like this, how can she not feel distressed? She doesn't even have the heart to go out, for fear that others will laugh at her when they see her.

When Ji Hongye came back from morning practice, he saw her holding her hair, with a sad face. He smiled and leaned over to her: "Why did you remember to comb your hair today?"

"I was going to take a shower and make up, but I found out that my hair had become like this, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Didn't I tell you when you woke up?"

Nalan Jinxiu frowned, slapped his shoulder, and said willfully: "You just mentioned it, I thought it was okay, then why didn't you tell me later?

Ji Hongye sat down on the chair next to her and said to Ji Xiang, "Bring me scissors." ”

Nalan Jinxiu looked at him with a wary face: "What are you going to do?"

"I'll cut it for you. ”

"I don't want it!" Nalan Jinxiu shook his head and refused: "This is already very short, if you cut it again, you won't be able to read it." ”

"Do you think you can still watch it now?" Ji Hongye's face was full of disgust.

Nalan Jinxiu felt that she was very hurt all of a sudden, she felt that the third brother was disgusting her, so she could only accept her fate and let him cut it. I thought to myself: I'm already ugly like this anyway, and I don't mind being a little uglier.

"I think my skills should be okay, so you don't have to look like you're at home. ”

Ji Hongye meticulously cut off her curly hair, and then, her hair was only as long as her shoulders. Nalan Jinxiu didn't want to look at herself in the mirror, shrugged her head, and looked a little pitiful.

"Go to the bath, broken hair will prick people. ”

Ji Hongye took her hand to the clean room, and waited with bated breath, for fear that one would accidentally make her even more unhappy.

Her hair, which had been excellent, was now shortened, but it was still jet black and shiny, like fine silk. auspicious and skillful, combed her with a mustache, although it is not as luxurious as the usual high bun, but it is also very beautiful.

"Look, isn't it beautiful? Ruyi was triumphant on the sidelines.

"It's okay, it's just that there are a lot of hair accessories, and it's weirdly heavy. ”

"I've picked the light ones for you, the ones made of pure gold, and the ones that are gilded in silver, are heavier than the ones I have now. But it's better than this, why don't we try it?" Jixiang fiddled with the contents of her box, and couldn't put it down.

"No, I'm going out in a while, and I haven't had breakfast yet. ”

Ji Hongye was reading a book on the side, just waiting for her to have breakfast and waiting, but when he heard her words, he put the book aside and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go and visit my sister-in-law. After Nalan Jinxiu finished speaking, he remembered that today was his day of rest, and he probably wanted to accompany her!

"What are you going to do there?"

Nalan Jinxiu turned his head to auspicious Ruyi and said, "You go to pass the meal first." ”

After the two of them retreated, she said again: "Grandmother is not in good health for a while, and I found out that she has food poisoning because she ate the sweet potato cake given by my sister-in-law." ”

Ji Hongye's expression suddenly became serious: "Maybe it's certain?"

"Sure. I put the juice of the sweet potato sprouts in the food and gave it to the little mouse, and sure enough, I found that it was poisoned. I tested it for toxicity, and my grandmother's condition must have been poisoned. ”

"Is my grandmother's body damaged?"

"Take care of it, it should be fine. I've prescribed medicine to my grandmother and told her not to eat sweet potato cakes anymore. The eldest sister-in-law sent someone to send it, but she only took it and poured it out secretly, so that others would not notice. ”

"And what are your plans?"

"I want to probe my sister-in-law's tone and see if I can be sure whether she is intentional or unintentional. ”

Ji Hongye was silent for a while, and said, "After breakfast, go to my grandmother's first." ”

"Huh?"

"Didn't you want to make sure that Ji Jiang's family didn't do it on purpose, I'll go with you. ”

Nalan Jinxiu thought that the third brother was worried about his grandmother's poisoning, so he went over to take a look. But he didn't think that he actually brought guards and surrounded the courtyards of Jifu, so he could only enter and not leave.

The people in the mansion had never seen this situation before, and people were panicked for a while, and even Ji Yao sent someone over to ask, what was going on? What are they going to do? Ji Hongye didn't explain too much at this time, and only asked the person who asked him to pass the message to his father, so as not to be impatient.

On the way to "Braised Vine", Nalan Jinxiu asked the doubts in his heart: "Third brother, what do you mean by doing this?"

"Although Ji Jiang is shrewd, she definitely doesn't dare to make a move on her grandmother. If the poisoning was really intentional, it must have been someone in the backyard who instigated her, in order to prevent the news from leaking, so they were all guarded. ”

"Is the third brother afraid that the news will leak out?"

"Well, I'm afraid that someone in the courtyard will bring out the news for the Ji Jiang clan, then we won't get what we want. ”

"What do you want to do?"

Ji Hongye reached out and rubbed the top of her head, and said softly: "You just follow me, no matter what I do, you don't have to be afraid." ”

Nalan Jinxiu vaguely guessed what he was going to do, and since she saw Jiang Man, she didn't say anything except for the initial greeting.

Jiang Man is also strange, her husband, the third brother of the noble pavilion elder, is not common. Today, I don't know why, I took the initiative to come to the door, and I chose when my husband was not in the house, could it be that she came to visit her sister-in-law?

Jiang Man invited the two into the house with suspicion, and was about to recruit someone to serve tea, when she saw Ji Hongye say to her in a cold voice: "You stay, everyone else goes out." ”

The girls and mothers-in-law were even more suspicious, although they knew that the third master was noble, but this was not his mansion after all, what qualifications did he have to instruct them? Besides, the tone in which he spoke to his wife was like speaking to a slave.

Jiang Man was also stunned, although she didn't have much contact with Ji Hongye, she also knew that this was a scholar with the most gentle temperament. What's the matter today? Could it be that she came to trouble her? Could it be that she asked his wife too much silver that day? It was only a thousand taels of silver, and it would not have been enough for him to come to the door himself.

"Let them all go out, how many times do you want me to say it?" Ji Hongye's voice was a few degrees lower than usual, and it sounded eerie.

Nalan Jinxiu had never seen the third brother like this, and he felt a little strange for a while. Presumably, this criminal department is really not something that ordinary people can treat, and a person who is so gentle has become so cold now.

Where would Ji Hongye have thought that he was giving prestige to others, and as a result, he might have scared his little wife, so he used the excuse to tidy up his sleeves and lightly touched her hand.

Nalan Jinxiu came back to her senses in an instant, and when she saw that Jiang Man hadn't let the maids go down, she cleared her throat and said gently: "We came here today because we have something to ask my sister-in-law, and I think my sister-in-law doesn't want others to hear about it, so let's ask them out!"

Jiang Man had an ominous premonition in her heart, she sent the maids down, and felt that what she was doing was so strict that she should not be discovered. She wanted to pretend to be fierce and drive them out, but she didn't dare to face Ji Hongye at all, so she had to say with a smiling face: "I don't know what you want to ask when you look for your sister-in-law, I must know everything, and I will say everything." ”

"Do you really think you won't be found out about poisoning my grandmother?"

As soon as Ji Hongye's words came out, Jiang Man's face suddenly became ugly, she still forced her composure, and said with a far-fetched smile: "I don't understand what the third brother said." ”

"It is said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, I originally thought that this matter would be solved in the house, but if you blindly deny it, go to the criminal department with me to talk about it!"

Jiang Man is smart and clever no matter how smart she is, she is also a backhouse woman in the end, she has never seen a big scene, and when she heard that she was going to the criminal department, she immediately panicked. She got up from her chair and said softly, "I, I really don't know what you're talking about?"

Ji Hongye smiled indifferently and said, "Since you refuse to tell the truth, then I can only let someone take you away." He got up and stood at the door, his voice softening: "Lu Jincheng, take people away." ”

At this time, a few guards came in, lined up, and surrounded Jiang Man tightly. Jiang Man only found out at this time that there was a big difference between his own nursing house and other people's guards. She looked at the saber at the guard's waist, dizzy, and barely able to stand on her feet against the table.

"You don't let them arrest me, I say, I say. Jiang Man slowly moved his body, sat back in the chair, clasped his hands tightly, and said in a dumb voice: "The white potato cake I gave to the old lady contains highly poisonous. ”

"But the sprouts that grow after a long time of being left unplaced?"

As soon as Jiang Man saw that Nalan Jinxiu even knew this, he was even more convinced that they knew the truth. Gu Er didn't hide it anymore, and told the causes and consequences of his poisoning.
