Chapter 40: Dare to Bet
Xiao Rongzi's words made several people's faces look so wonderful.
The old lady had said that to that point, but he did not accept it when he saw it, but he did not persevere.
She subconsciously reached out and grabbed Lin, but was disturbed by a cold and hard voice.
"What is Mrs. Zhou doing? Didn't you say that? There is a disease treatment, although the doctor invited by the Zhou government is not as good as the imperial doctor, but he is very good at treating madness, so don't worry. ”
The old lady glanced at Zhou Huan, and said humbly: "I just want to say a few words to her." ”
The good scene was interrupted, Zhou Huan deliberately hesitated for a while, and said helpfully: "Auntie is also unintentional, adults don't care about this." ”
Her straightforward words undoubtedly laid the foundation for Lin's nonsense.
It was a normal thing, but in the eyes of the old lady, it was very dazzling.
If it is rumored that the aunt is bullying the juniors, the reputation of the Zhou family should be ruined.
Zhou Huan didn't know, and looked at her innocently, "What's wrong with grandmother?" I see that your face is not good, aren't you tired? ”
"No problem." The old lady quietly removed her hand and walked towards the house.
Zhou Huan didn't care either, he didn't care about following, but when he passed by Xiao Rongzi, he heard a light sigh.
"Miss's situation in the house is in the eyes of the miscellaneous family, and she will not ignore it, and the young lady will rest assured to investigate these days, there will be no accidents in the miscellaneous family here."
He was a thorough man, and after only a while, he deduced what had happened in a few words.
Zhou Huan smiled at him and passed by him with an indifferent expression.
With his support, even if the second grandfather wants to drive people away, he has to be patient to provide for her.
"You have to wake up soon, this is not happy to come to play with you."
The second grandfather called affectionately, and his expression was rare tenderness.
Even the old lady was full of love and clenched her cold hand, "You girl must be usually playful, and she wants to fall asleep like this when she is nagged and annoyed, you can rest assured, when you wake up, no one will say that you are playful, who dares to tell grandmother, grandmother will make decisions for you." ”
The two of them were full of tenderness, which made Zhou Huan speechless, glanced at his adoptive father, and went out first.
After the adoptive father silently pushed it out, he looked at Zhou Huan's thin back and fell into a trance for a while.
After Zhou Huan was picked up, he still saw her daughter's outfit for the first time, overlapping with her in the past, and he couldn't help but feel melancholy.
She is taller, but she is getting thinner and thinner, which can't help but make him regret that he agreed to let her go back to Zhou's mansion.
"I've controlled her illness, you can be honest, is the eldest lady there to embarrass you?"
Zhou Huan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and once again recalled Zhou Shenyuan's cold eyes, closed his eyes and said, "It should be." ”
The adoptive father sighed, "I have controlled the toxins in her body, and then I only need to detoxify, and it will be fine in a few days, but I have heard a little about the poison in her, it is said to be a poison that can make people unconscious in the Western Regions, and the toxicity is not strong, even if there is no antidote, it will be fine in a few days." ”
"I think the Liu family is worried about killing people, so they will be so merciful." Zhou Huan secretly wrote down the word Western Regions and planned to investigate from here.
The adoptive father took out a jade bottle from his pocket and stuffed it to her with a little hesitation, "I didn't want this thing to be given to you, but you are in a difficult situation in the house, so it's better to keep it as a precaution." ”
Zhou Huan opened the stopper, sniffed the tip of his nose, the faint aroma of herbs was not pungent, but had a sweet smell, "This is a drug that can make people fall into a coma, even if the doctor diagnoses and treats it during the coma, it is also a sign of poisoning." ”
She begged her adoptive father for a long time about this thing, and she thought that he would not give it to herself, but who knew that her adoptive father kept it for herself when she needed it most.
Wasn't Zhou Meng poisoned? Why didn't she just do it?
A bright light crossed Zhou Huan's eyes, and his hand grasped the jade bottle.
What she wanted in her heart couldn't escape her adoptive father's eyes, and she couldn't help but say worriedly: "You can use this thing leisurely, you must know that it is very hurtful, and the slightest carelessness will make the meridian disorder attack the body and mind." ”
"I know, I'm going to be careful, and besides, isn't that you? I'm sure I'll be fine. Zhou Huan playfully stuck out his tongue at him, and the golden hairpin on his temples reflected the light of bending over.
The adoptive father ate her the most, and glared at her with a smile, "I know that if something happens, you can stand it." ”
Zhou Huan wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhou Yan coming over, he squeaked, "I still have something to do, you go back, don't let people take advantage of the loophole." ”
The adoptive father understood what she meant and nodded solemnly.
After sending him away, Zhou Huan put on a false smile, "I don't know what kind of wind blew you here, brother?" ”
Zhou Yan looked at her disdainfully, and only looked at her with his peripheral vision, "This is my residence, where I want to go seems to have nothing to do with you, right?" ”
She nodded thoughtfully, and raised her feet to leave, "In that case, then I will take my leave." ”
Zhou Yanxu didn't expect her to reply so neatly, and raised her voice and said, "You vicious woman, why do you want to harm your sister?" ”
The person who was moving forward stopped suddenly, Zhou Yan thought that he had been poked in the heart, and asked unrelentingly, "What?" Do you have the courage to say it? ”
He stepped forward and blocked her.
Zhou Huan suddenly raised his head, his black and white eyes reflected his face, "Why don't we make a bet?" ”
An inexplicable sentence made him confused for a while, "What do you mean by this?" ”
This time, it was Zhou Huan's turn to laugh, and said disdainfully: "I came to question without evidence, but I didn't dare to bet, this is a brain arrangement?" ”
"I never say anything that has no basis!" Zhou Yan's face turned crimson, and he looked away unnaturally, "Say, bet on what?" ”
Zhou Huan smiled playfully, "Bet on Zhou Meng's poisoning was not done by me." ”
"Is this a gamble?" Zhou Yan raised his head violently, but after crashing into those clear eyes, he was inexplicably weak.
"It's a good thing that you insist on your idea to prove that you are a strong-willed person, but grandmother said that a decision will be made in ten days, so it is unknown who will kill the deer, and in the meantime I can clear my name, and you can also think of convicting me, right?"
Zhou Huan's tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about people's affairs.
But Zhou Yan can't help but take it to heart, this is related to his sister, he can't be careless, but if you think about it, it is indeed as she said, everything is done by her on the surface, but a lot of evidence can't stand scrutiny.
For example, Birou, such as poison, came too coincidentally.
But how could he, who was angry with his young heart, bow his head and admit that he was reckless, raised his chin and said: "For grandmother's sake, I bet with you, if I win, you kowtow outside the Zhou Mansion and confess your guilt until my sister forgives you?" ”
With the old lady's heart of attaching importance to the reputation of the family, even if Zhou Huan does it, she will try to suppress it like Zhou Qing, and outsiders have no way of knowing, but kowtowing and confessing her guilt outside the mansion is different, and it won't take long to spread all over the capital and make her reputation stink.
Who knew that Zhou Huan didn't hesitate at all, nodded and agreed, "Okay, but if you lose, you have to help me take someone to study in the academy." ”
Zhou Yan subconsciously wanted to ask who, but after thinking about it, how could she win? couldn't help but stiffen his neck and said: "Deal, don't regret it when the time comes." ”
"I want you to do what you say."
Zhou Huan smiled slightly, very captivating, like a fairy who strayed into the red dust.
But in Zhou Yan's eyes, she was a real poisonous woman, pouting, and disliked her and distanced herself from her.
Zhou Huan didn't mind, found Rong Zhi and went back to Yijing Courtyard.
It wasn't until she sat on the toise chair that Rong Zhi said with a resentful face: "This Birou is not a thing!" Betrayed Miss! Has she forgotten who saved her from fire and water in the first place? ”
Zhou Huan took a sip of tea and said indifferently: "It is also possible that someone is in charge of the eldest lady and is forced to do it helplessly." ”
"Miss, you still speak for her." Rong Zhi frowned, but immediately thought of something more dangerous, and changed his words, "The old lady only gave Miss ten days, where does Miss plan to start?" ”
Zhou Huan closed his eyes, his calves swayed slightly in the chaise longituna, "My adoptive father told me that the poison came from the Western Regions, and I plan to go to the Western Regions." ”
"The Western Regions are not far away, and you can delay for a long time back and forth, I'm afraid that if the investigation comes out, ten days have passed." Rong Zhi frowned.
Her words reminded Zhou Huan that she was just thinking about the direction of the investigation, but who knew that it was a dead end.
"It's okay for me to think again."
Zhou Huan waved her back, frowning and thinking about what to do next.
Just when she didn't know what to do, a spring-like laughter came from the beam.
Zhou Huan didn't look up to know who was coming, took a deep breath and said, "Come out, it's boring to hide." ”
Yinyue didn't feel embarrassed, and jumped down generously.
Zhou Huan looked at the beams above his head, and secretly wondered if he would have to wear tight clothes to rest in the future, so he didn't want this kind of disciple to look at it.
"You're not here to see my jokes." Zhou Huan touched the tassel of Tang Pozi and squinted at him.
Yinyue sat opposite her, the jade pendant on her waist tinking, "Of course not, but I just want to see what Miss Yan will be squeezed into, and then consider whether to help." ”
Zhou Huan wanted to roll his eyes, but he begged him, but he still held back, "Then have you thought about it?" If not, please go back to the Moon Tower and think slowly. ”
Yinyue chuckled, grabbed the cat's waist and was about to slip away, and ravaged it in her arms, "Seeing that you are being excluded by everyone, and your popularity is really miserable, I still want to help you, after all, I can't get used to Zhou Yan's kid for a long time, and I really want to see him ugly." ”
Yo, not only peeking but also anti-eavesdropping.
"Your ears are as sharp as a dog." Zhou Huan said sarcastically, and then said, "I need someone to help investigate in the Western Regions, but you also heard that there is not enough time to go back and forth, I don't know if you have any good ways to pass in a short time?" ”
"Simple." Yinyue stretched her muscles, raised the ball high, and said arrogantly in Zhou Huan's expectant gaze, "But why did I tell you?" ”
Before the smile on Zhou Huan's face could be retracted, he couldn't wait to give him a kick.
What does this mean?
She took a deep breath and said unwillingly: "I'll give you another share of the mine."
