Chapter 16: Watch her die
The next afternoon, Su Wanyan sent away Su Heming, who was going to school, and as soon as she sat down and took a sip of tea, she saw Lingxiu walking to her with a bad face.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Wanyan put down the tea bowl and looked at her strangely.
"Miss, I'm fine, it's Wenxiu's trouble."
Wenxiu is the same big girl as Lingxiu next to Su Wanyan, but Wenxiu is generally in charge of the affairs of the house, and rarely walks around outside with her.
"Let her come and talk about something herself." Su Wanyan couldn't see the people in front of her grinding.
Hearing her words, Wen Xiu, who was standing outside the door, came in and knelt on the ground, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"Miss, do you remember, my family told me about a family affair, and you also said that when I am old enough for two years, you will let me go out to marry him."
Su Wanyan naturally remembered, and said suspiciously: "Yes, I said this, what's wrong?" ”
"His parents and brothers were taken away, and the man threatened to kill all his family if he didn't drug you and poison you to death." Wen Xiu couldn't help but raise her voice, crying so much that she choked.
Su Wanyan slapped the table and stood up, and whispered angrily: "Who is so bold that he wants to murder me?" What the hell is going on? ”
Lingxiu saw that Wenxiu was speechless, and hurriedly said: "Her family Chunsheng said that he was walking home in the dark, and he was suddenly knocked unconscious on the way, and when he woke up, he found that in an abandoned firewood room, a person wearing a cloak and covering it very tightly came in the middle of the night, and asked him to exchange the life of the young lady for the life of his whole family." ”
At noon today, Wenxiu gave Chunsheng the finished clothes, and he waited outside the second door with a basket of dried apricots, saying that it was specially for the third lady.
Su Wanyan had eaten Chunsheng's preserved apricots from Wenxiu, and she was full of praise, Wenxiu told Chunsheng about it, and Chunsheng said that she would make it and send it to Miss.
Wenxiu was quite happy, and was about to leave with the basket, but he heard Chunsheng's instructions: "Don't eat it, don't eat a single one." ”
"Why?" Wenxiu felt strange and sent it to Miss, Miss would definitely share a little bit of each, why couldn't she eat it?
"This is specially made for Miss, it's not like you haven't eaten it, don't eat one anyway."
After Chunsheng finished speaking, he turned his head and left, Wen Xiu felt that something was wrong and blocked his way, "Do you have something to hide from me, don't think about leaving today if you don't make it clear." ”
The two entangled a few back and forth, Wen Xiu didn't let him go, he sat down on the rockery on the side and cried.
He is also a man, Wenxiu has never seen him cry, and he told the truth after repeated questioning.
Wen Xiu was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a long time when she heard this, her home was Su Wanyan's mother's companion room, she had almost grown up with Su Wanyan since she was a child, and she was loyal to her master, so she was going to come back and tell Su Wanyan immediately.
She came back crying all the way, and was seen by Lingxiu, who was close to her like sisters, so she told Lingxiu about the matter first, and also expected her to stand on her feet and cheer for herself.
Su Wanyan pondered it carefully, and felt that it was better to call Chunsheng to ask more clearly, so she asked Wenxiu to call someone and ask her to bring the basket of dried apricots, and promised her that she would never do anything to Chunsheng.
Her every move in the yard was monitored, and before Wenxiu left, she told her not to be seen when she brought people back.
Half an hour later, Wen Xiu was wearing the jujube red coarse cloth clothes often worn by middle-aged servants in the courtyard, and she didn't wear any jewelry on her head, while Chunsheng also put on a shirt similar to Wen Xiu's, with a bun on the back of her head, and dressed as a servant.
Su Wanyan saw that Wen Xiu was smart enough, and asked her if she had been seen, and Wen Xiu said that they came in through the back door and no one saw it.
asked Chunsheng to quickly take off his clothes outside, and said to him, "It's hard for you." ”
Chunsheng heard Wenxiu say that Miss had promised not to embarrass him, but he still knelt on the ground, after all, if Wenxiu didn't react, he took the basket of dried apricots back to the yard for everyone to eat, and it is estimated that everyone in the yard is now poisoned.
"Miss, the little one was also forced to be helpless, and he did such a stupid thing in a moment of confusion, please forgive the little one."
Su Wanyan pinched a dried apricot from the bamboo basket with a handkerchief, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, and carefully observed the layer of bright red on it, and immediately understood that this bright and delicious color could actually kill people in a short period of time, and there was no time to save it.
She sat down in the chair with a cold face, and just now she made a rash promise without understanding the seriousness of the situation, but the words had already been spoken, and there was no reason to take it back.
"You can forgive you, but be honest and tell me everything you know."
Chunsheng nodded like pounding garlic, "I said, I said, I said everything." ”
"Where is the so-called abandoned firewood house, inside the house or outside the house?"
This is very important, if it is in the mansion, this person who wants to deal with her can be easily found.
"Funai."
"Is the person who comes to see you a man or a woman? How high and how does it sound? ”
"I can't tell if it's a man or a woman, but I'm not tall, it's about the same as Wenxiu, and the voice is neither male nor female, it's scary and strange."
Su Wanyan thought for a while and asked, "Do you have any suspicious candidates?" ”
Chunsheng said: "Judging from that style, it should be the master of the house, and the maid next to him is wearing the clothes of our house." ”
He described the maid again.
Su Wanyan stood up and paced a few steps before saying her conclusion, "This person must be a woman, and she deliberately changed her voice in order not to be recognized, so it sounds strange." ”
Speaking of this, she snorted, "She disguised herself but couldn't change her style, and you easily saw that she was the master of the mansion, and because of her inconvenience, she tied you up in the mansion." There are a few more hostesses in this house, and the maid next to her seems to be very familiar, this person is either Huo Qingqing or Su Yuxian. ”
She accentuated her tone as she said the two names, her voice full of cold murderous intent.
Lingxiu and Wenxiu showed a look of "sure enough" on their faces, while Chunsheng was even more afraid, Huo Qingqing was the head of the house and had absolute power in this mansion, and Su Yuxian followed Huo Qingqing to learn the same, and the means were definitely not bad.
"That's good, the little family is in her hands, she gives the little one three days, and if she can't do it in three days, she will kill them."
"Then it's up to you to decide. If you are used by me, I will help you rescue your family, otherwise for the sake of Wenxiu's face, I will not pursue your planned poisoning, and I will lock you up for a few days and let you out after this is over. ”
Wen Xiu was afraid that Chunsheng would be stupid, so she dragged him anxiously, "You quickly agree, otherwise there will be no way out." ”
"I promise, I promise." Chunsheng felt physically and mentally tormented and kowtowed on the ground.
"As long as I do things for the eldest lady's courtyard, I will always be deliberately made difficult by them, and I can't get used to her for a long time."
Su Wanyan smiled with satisfaction, and immediately asked Lingxiu to go to the outer courtyard to contact the male servants who were loyal to her, and even let a few personal maids out, and secretly went around to find out where Su Yuxian hid Chunsheng's family.
The layout assignment made Chunsheng stunned, and he made up his mind to follow the third lady in the future.
In the evening, he found out the place of the Tibetans, after all, Su Yuxian was spoiled, and she did things according to her emotions, very casually, and she was locked in the cellar in the garden.
In order not to startle the snake, Su Wanyan did not rescue the people immediately, but only let people protect them secretly.
She asked Chunsheng to tell Su Yuxian that she had succeeded, and she lay on the bed and pretended to be poisoned.
Chunsheng left a secret message that the matter had been done in the abandoned firewood room according to the previous instructions, and publicized the third lady's illness in the mansion.
Su Sui heard that Su Wanyan was seriously ill and was very worried, so he came to visit him after the next court.
For the sake of the people in the courtyard, Su Wanyan didn't dare to let herself show the appearance of being poisoned, if she was poisoned, Su Sui would definitely not be able to spare everyone in the courtyard.
She said that she didn't have any major problems, but she had cold and weakness on her body, and she didn't have much appetite, and the doctor had come to see her and had prescribed medicine, and she should be fine soon.
While the two were talking, Su Yuxian walked in and saw Su Wanyan lying on the bed weakly, pretending to be worried, and kept asking what was wrong.
Su Wanyan also pretended not to know anything, and said what she had just told Su Sui again.
Seeing her face turned blue, combined with the physical reactions she said, Su Yuxian was sure that this was a sign of poisoning, and her heart was full of joy, and she hurriedly said to Su Sui: "Father, Xian'er has done many bad things to her sister in the past, seeing that her sister is seriously ill now, Xian'er is also worried and distressed, Xian'er wants to take care of her sister every day, so as to rebuild our sisterhood, what do you think?" ”
Su Sui pondered for a moment, "It's a good thing that you want to rebuild your sisterhood, and I'm very happy for my father, but if you take advantage of your sister's illness and do something to hurt her, I will never spare you." ”
Su Yuxian hurriedly swore no.
She thought that Su Wanyan was dying, and she didn't need her to do it again, she just wanted to watch her die in front of her.
After Su Sui left, the personal maids in Su Wanyan's house were all gone, leaving only two little girls staring.
As soon as they left, it was Su Yuxian who served tea and water, she wanted to let the two little girls help, but Su Wanyan was unwilling, saying that they were clumsy, and she didn't like it.
If she was unhappy, she had to tell Su Sui, and Su Sui wanted to clean up Su Yuxian, so Su Yuxian had to do her best.
She originally wanted to come every day to sit and drink tea and eat snacks, just stay for a while and make a show, who knows if she is here to be a person.
Su Wanyan wanted to drink water for a while and it would be convenient for a while, pouring the water was either too hot or too cold, and she had to be fed when she ate, and as soon as she rested, she shouted to rub her shoulders and rub her head.
She was a little unhappy, so Su Wanyan shouted to let the little girl call her father.
She had to take care of her every day, but also accompanied by a smiling face, and she couldn't stand it in two days, so she went back to cry to Huo Qingqing.
"Mother, that cheap hoof is deliberately trying to torture me, every day I am tired and my back hurts, you look at my daughter's hands, they have been rough for the past two days, and this finger is burned red, there is a bloody wound here, my daughter's hand is used to write and stroke the piano, not to serve her tea and peel fruit."
Huo Qingqing took her hand and looked at it, and sure enough, as she said, it was both an injury and a red mark, and she was so distressed, thinking that she would be a queen in the future, how could she do such a lowly thing.
"Then you find an excuse to go tomorrow."
"No, I swore to my father that I would take good care of that little slut and not have two hearts."
Su Yuxian cried tears again and again, making Huo Qingqing angry and hateful to Su Wanyan.
On this day, Huo Qingqing deliberately dressed up, went to Su Sui's house with supper, cheered up, and showed all his skills to make Su Sui happy.
Seeing that Su Sui was gentle and close to her, she talked about how dedicated Su Yuxian was to taking care of Su Wanyan these days.
Unexpectedly, Su Sui snorted coldly: "She doesn't owe enough words, this is what she should do, she came to tell me that she still wants me to reward her?" If she sincerely repents this time and deepens her sisterhood with Yan'er, I won't care about the past. ”
When it came to the things Su Yuxian had done before, Huo Qingqing felt empty, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, but he immediately thought of other more powerful words.
"Master, no matter what Xian'er says, she is also a person who wants to be the crown princess, as long as you support the prince more, our Xian'er will be able to be the queen in the future, and your power will be higher at that time, and the lintel of the Su family will also rely on Xian'er's support......"
Before she finished speaking, Su Sui couldn't listen to it anymore, turned over and got out of bed and pointed at her and scolded.
"You stupid woman, the saint is now in good health, you want me to support the crown prince so that Su Yuxian can be the queen. Don't you know that the emperor is suspicious and suspicious, and everyone who has a little second heart has been killed, you want to kill me and kill the Su family. ”
