Volume 1: The Husband Chapter 54 Terminally Ill (Part II)
Jiang Rin didn't expect her to say such a thing, with such a serious and cautious attitude, just like when she made a coherent inference about the murder of the five people when she was in the Zhao family's tofu shop that day. And the dazed, shy and weak girl just now seemed to be just Jiang Rin's illusion.
He suddenly became a little curious about this girl who was usually only in the depths of the boudoir, so he put away the idea of teasing her, and said, "You should follow the wishes of the eldest girl." ”
Qingru Xu saw that he agreed and was about to speak, but Jiang Rin walked to the candlestick and blew out the candle.
"You, what are you doing...... Qingru Xu looked at him in amazement, and unconsciously took a few steps back. Lan Zhou, who was guarding the door outside, also hurriedly asked, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”
Jiang Rin looked at Qing Ruxu for a long time, and her light voice was not slow, "It's getting late, and you are sick again, and the bright lights in the room will attract the attention of others." What's more, with candles lit and the figure inside visible from the outside, Miss Qing doesn't want others to know that there is a man hidden in your room, right? ”
Outside the window, the moonlight is bright, the shadows of the trees are shaking, and at the door is the standing figure of Shizhou and Lanzhou. She glared at Jiang Rin, did not refute, and said to Shizhou, who was asking, "It's okay." ”
With a few words, the eyes of the two had adjusted to the darkness in the room. Jiang Rin found a chair to sit down at random, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please: "Please speak." ”
Qing Ruxu was a little helpless, she still knew Jiang Rin a little, since the other party said that she would exchange her secret, she would not easily change her mind, who made her short on time now and urgently needed answers! She was silent for a moment, and then said: "On the day I met my son in Wangjianglou, after I returned home, the people in the family were about to invite Lang Zhong to my second sister. ”
She whispered, her voice seemed to travel to the past, pulling away the series of follow-ups caused by the "Kite Scramble Incident" in front of Jiang Rin's eyes, and carefully hiding the hints given to her by the memories of her previous life, and making some adjustments to what happened before and after, so that things sounded reasonable:
"After the Ice Muscle Jade Dew was lost, I thought it was a coincidence, but Shizhou and Lan Zhou remembered the location and time where the Ice Muscle Jade Dew was placed very clearly, and it was impossible for it to disappear inexplicably, so I asked Shizhou to go to Wangjiang Tower with the medicine box to ask Bai Shizi for help to see if the lock on the box had been pried open."
"Fortunately, the Chen Ji Wood Shop in the north of the city is very proficient in making all kinds of locks, and it can be seen at a glance that the medicine box has indeed been pried, and the scratches are still very fresh. When I learned the answer, I had no clue why my maid had to ask her two sisters for a kite in the garden that day. She paused, lowered her eyes slightly, and pinned the hair from her forehead behind her ears with her hands, her hands especially white in the moonlight.
"When I learned that it was my second sister who provoked the words, I was relieved, because the two of us grew up together and had a very deep relationship, and I thought she couldn't have anything to do with it. But the next day, I met my third sister, and one of her words alerted me. She said, 'The eldest sister gave the second sister a lot of things, and the second sister also gave them to me, why can't this kite work!' When I heard this, I became suspicious again. At the same time, the rumors in the house intensified, saying that I was reluctant to give up a good medicine and was cold and selfish. ”
"At this moment, when the cook was delivering snacks, she revealed to my grandmother that someone in the house had slandered me, and my grandmother was furious and sent several subordinates. When I learned of this, I went to comfort my grandmother and left me to keep an eye on the movements. ”
Although she didn't think that Jiang Rin would meddle with her affairs, she still subconsciously narrated it very objectively, and did not mix with superfluous emotions, so as not to confuse her judgment with those who listened.
"By the time I had appeased my grandmother and returned, the Ice Muscle Jade Dew had been returned to the drawer of the makeup dress. I had all kinds of speculations in my heart, and before I could figure it out, at this moment, the second sister suddenly came, and in a flash of my heart, a thought came to me, so I asked Shizhou to replace the ice muscle jade dew in the makeup with Huoxiang ointment. ”
"The second sister came to apologize to me with a hairpin and inadvertently opened the drawer. When she saw the small porcelain vase, she immediately asked, and also smashed the porcelain vase, and then found that it was not Ice Muscle Yulu, and quickly explained to me, saying that she was provoked by the third sister to listen to the rumors in the house. Although I remembered her misunderstanding of me, I also realized that I was indeed too cold to the other sisters in the house, so I took a butterfly kite to sue for peace with the third sister after she left. Unexpectedly, the second sister brought her grandmother, mother, third aunt and others over, saying that she was afraid that I would be angry for a while and hurt the third sister. ”
Qingru Xu finished speaking in one breath, and her eyes were cloudy, as if a storm was coming. "That's it."
"There are a lot of doubts, indeed."
Jiang Rin listened to the whole story and said such a sentence.
Qing Ruxu's eyelashes twitched and he raised his head in surprise, he actually made such a conclusion? She also thought that Jiang Rin would say that she was making a big fuss. "There are many coincidences in the whole thing, and it must be difficult for people who don't feel it personally to agree with my thoughts, Jiang Gongzi really thinks so?"
Jiang Rin didn't expect things to be so complicated before, and he didn't expect Qing Ruxu to be so delicate, but he had his own judgment, "As far as I know, the Song family, as the head of the house, has always been orderly in the house, orderly inside and outside, and should never let the rumors develop until the third day and ignore them, this is one of them." ”
Second, the cook revealed her tone in front of the old lady, which made things bigger. Then the ice muscle jade dew was returned, and the second girl immediately came to apologize to you or make trouble, and then brought someone to arrest you. Is one a coincidence, two a coincidence, and four again and again? ”
"And last but not least, if you have someone in your yard who can pick a lock and swap things in an instant, and this person has such means and you don't know it, it means that she is not loyal to you, but someone else. Most likely, someone deliberately planted it in your yard. ”
Qing Ruxu bit her petal-like curved lower lip and slowly retracted her fingers: "This person is the fishing boat in my yard, and her mother is the cook of Songhetang, the one who revealed the rumors to my grandmother." ”
Jiang Rin raised his eyebrows and said, "So, judge these doubts together...... You must have known it in your heart, so you pretended to be sick and tempted. ”
"Yes......" Qing Ruxu was like a child who had been robbed of her beloved at this time, dazed and sad. I had a guess in my mind, but I didn't know why...... Thinking that he had been ill for many years, he wondered if there was anything strange in this medicine. ”
Jiang Rin looked at the small porcelain bottles, pointed to the middle one and said, "Except for this one, the other potions all contain a rare chronic/poison, and the dose is gradually increasing. ”
"What?" Even though Qing Ruxu had been prepared in her heart, such an answer still made her mind dazed and dizzy for a while.
Seeing this, Jiang Rin hurriedly stepped forward to support her, the girl's graceful silhouette was like ten thousand years of frost in the moonlight, and the cold was awe-inspiring and covered with holes eroded by pain. "You don't have to feel sad about this, because from the beginning to the end, you have mistaken the bad guy for the good guy, and you should feel sorry for yourself, not for the evil deeds of others."
"Is that so?" Qing Ruxu looked up at him, trying her best to calm her voice, she didn't want to cry embarrassedly in front of Jiang Rin, but she couldn't control the tears gushing out.
Jiang Rin watched those tears as clear as pearls fall, and couldn't help but reach out to pick them up, snapping ......
It is cold feel.
Unconsciously, his voice became hoarse, "Everyone has to experience some good and bad things, you just need to get rid of the bad ones and remember the good ones." After all, the world is not perfect, some things hurt you, but there are also some things that can warm you, and you should understand this truth. ”
Just like the tears lying in his palm at this time, they have been infected by the temperature of his palm, and they are no longer cold.
Qing Ruxu looked up at him when she heard this, only to see that his expression was calm, and there was an indestructible firmness in his eyes, at that moment, it seemed that countless sourness dripped into her heart lake, causing ripples, and then, the lake gradually flattened, and those sourness were diluted very thin and light, and they could no longer be felt.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Qingru Xu suddenly came back to his senses. This is not a previous life, and the two are not husband and wife, she turned slightly to the side, broke away from his hand, and after a while, she said embarrassedly: "Thank you for believing in me......"
Jiang Rin withdrew his hand and watched her reaction carefully.
is clearly a girl who stays at home and is as fragile as dewdrops among flowers, but after suffering a huge blow and accident, she calmly finds a way to solve it, struggles to seek the truth, and when the situation is unexpected, she stabilizes herself and recovers in such a short time.
Jiang Rin was in a trance for a while, and only after a moment came back to his senses, showed a light smile, and said very objectively: "I don't believe you, but the facts are in front of me, and I have made the judgment I should have." He returned to his seat and said, "Do you know now, then, who poisoned you?" ”
Qing Ruxu's face became solemn when she heard this, and she tried her best to restrain her slightly trembling body, and said: "Because Yuzhou's method of exchanging Ice Muscle Jade Dew back at that time was too terrifying, so I felt that if someone would do something in my medicine, it would be her to achieve her, so on the first day of the sixth month, I deliberately took her away......
And the medicine on the first day of the sixth month happened to be non-toxic, which proves that the fishing boat is indeed the poisoner. Jiang Rin didn't expect Qing Ruxu to be so smart and in such a simple way, he would try to find out who was doing it.
"Actually, I'm also curious about such a thing happening around you, because the chronic poison in this medicine is very rare, it is a very strange poison from southern Xinjiang, and the preparation method is also very complicated, although my people can identify this poison, they can't mix it."
"Southern Xinjiang?"
Qingru Xu looked at him in a daze, and couldn't figure out how it could have anything to do with southern Xinjiang.
