Chapter 16: Cold Poison
Jiang Xiaoyu played with the jade pendant in her sleeve, this jade pendant was dark green, and it was extremely warm to the touch, until the tea in front of her was cold, until the faint light of the morning light came in, she raised her eyes and glanced at the people below, and said lightly: "You want to come and understand my means, I will give you a chance, if you want to waste it yourself, I just want to spare you, and there is no way to do it!" ”
As soon as her words fell, she saw a maid in a long green dress kneeling on the ground at once, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Miss, forgive me, the slave didn't mean to do that, the slave was forced!" You will spare the slave and maid this time! ”
Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the slightly blue sky, pressed his temple with one hand, after all, he had been tossing all night, his body was a little tired, and he was silent for a while before he said lightly: "The afternoon of the day I returned to Taoyao Hospital, I told you that if you think I have a future, stay in Taoyao Courtyard, follow me, I will not pursue the past things, if you think I am useless, you can leave with the fourth aunt, when you all stayed, I will treat you as my Taoyao Courtyard, but now, you have betrayed me, What is this saying? Do you know that the thing I hate most is betrayal? ”
"The slave really didn't mean to betray the eldest lady, the slave was really forced to ......" Xiao Tao kept kowtowing on the ground, banging, and his forehead was red, but he saw that Jiang Xiaoyu had no compassion on his face, and his expression barely changed.
"I just said it, if you take the initiative to admit it, I'll give you a chance, I will count my words, do you want to continue to stay in Taoyao Courtyard or go to Xiaolin Courtyard, choose for yourself!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly.
"Slave maid...... The slave is sorry Miss, the slave has no face to stay, and is willing to go to Xiaolin Courtyard......" Xiao Tao raised his eyes and secretly looked at Jiang Xiaoyu's face, and Nie Nie said tentatively.
As soon as her words fell, Yan Yan scolded angrily: "You eat things inside and out, you still don't know how to repent, and you have to betray Miss!" ”
"It's her own choice, so be it!" Jiang Xiaoyu waved his hand and said lightly, "You go, from today on, don't step into Taoyao Courtyard again!" Also, I will give you another chance today, whether to stay or leave, I will not force it, but if you stay in my Taoyao Courtyard this time, if such a situation occurs again, don't blame me for not sparing! ”
After disposing of the things in his yard, Jiang Xiaoyu pressed his temples tiredly, and was about to go back to the room to sleep, and by the way, he instructed Yanyan to send the millet porridge boiled in the kitchen to Jiang Yuan, who stayed with Aunt Six at night.
Mama Qian served Jiang Xiaoyu to rest, and asked suspiciously: "Fifth Miss and Miss Qiran want to frame Miss, and Xiao Tao is a crucial witness, why did Miss let Xiao Tao go to Xiaolin Courtyard?" Miss Qiran has always been domineering, and this time she suffered a loss from Miss, I'm afraid it's not so easy to calculate! ”
"She is a member of her own family, even if she makes trouble with her father and grandmother, what can she do? Isn't it a big deal? Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "She suffered a loss in me this time, and she will definitely want to get it back, so I'll just wait for her to make a big fuss!" I'm also missing a chance to show my face in front of the Jiang clan! ”
Sent all the people in the room down, Jiang Xiaoyu slept in a daze for a while, in her sleep, she suddenly frowned tightly, her body began to tremble, and her facial features were uncomfortably frowned together, although it was April weather, she seemed to be shivering with the cold, and the whole person was bubbling with a chill.
Suddenly, a black shadow landed on the side of the bed, put his palm on her forehead, frowned his thick black eyebrows, clicked on her two acupoints, and then took out a brown ball from his bosom and fed it to her in water.
After about a stick of incense, Jiang Xiaoyu gradually stopped trembling, her breathing slowly stabilized, she slowly opened her eyes, and said a little weakly: "Is it another seizure?" ”
The dark shadow sitting on the edge of the bed had a look of worry in his eyes, and sighed: "Recently, the cold poison in your body has been attacking more and more frequently, can the master teach you a practice of the mental method?" ”
"How dare you delay? It's just that it's been getting more and more uncontrollable lately! Jiang Xiaoyu struggled to get up, "That's it, life and death are fate, don't mention this matter!" ”
She blinked her eyes mischievously, revealing a little girlish agility, and said with a smile: "I haven't thanked you for last night's incident, this Taoyao Courtyard has you watching, I have no worries at all, senior brother, you are my patron saint!" ”
"Since I promised Master to protect you, naturally I won't let you be wronged!" The man in black said gently, "Do you remember that there were some things delayed before Master came to Beijing?" He heard on the way back that there is a way to cure the cold poison in your body, so he went to find medicine for you, but I didn't tell you before, I was afraid that if I didn't find the teaching, I would be disappointed, but now you are a little disheartened, you know the master, he shoots, and there are very few times when he misses! ”
Jiang Xiaoyu got up and came to the front of the bronze mirror, looked at the girl who was dry on the mirror, smiled self-deprecatingly, turned his head and smiled: "Senior brother, you haven't seen what I looked like when I was a child, I said when I was a child that I was a female doll carved in pink and jade, and I will definitely become a big beauty in the future, and I know that I will become an ugly girl today!" ”
Because of the suppression of the cold poison in the body, the master fed her the purple sacrificial grass with poison, and the side effect was that her face was yellow and thin, although she was eighteen years old, her body was like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.
"Silly girl, you're not ugly at all!" The man in black said softly, his expression was not clear, but his exposed eyes were glowing with soft warmth, like a pool of spring water.
It is less than two streets away from the Jiang family, and it is also a Jiang family, but it is the home of the Jiang family. The patriarch of the Jiang clan is Jiang Houyuan, the marquis of Pingjin, who is highly respected, and the eldest son is also in a high position, and the official residence is the imperial envoy, and it is smooth sailing.
The gray-haired Jiang Houyuan was half-lying on the rocking chair in disheveled clothes, squinting his eyes in enjoyment, as if he was reminiscing, and a few strands of long beard fluttering.
The two little servants carried out the things wrapped in the quilt, and one of them tripped over the threshold stone, and the quilt was thrown to the ground, revealing most of the human form, a girl of no more than ten years old, covered in a body*, she was dead, her lips were purple, her eyes were wide in horror, and her body was twisted and stiff in a strange posture.
"If you want to die, don't you hurry up, if you make Hou Ye unhappy, see if Hou Ye doesn't clean you up!" The other guy scolded and scolded.
The fallen little guy peeked at Jiang Houyuan, and seeing that he didn't react, he hurriedly wrapped himself up and left quickly carrying the girl's body.
Hou Ye is still a highly respected Hou Ye, except for a few henchmen, no one knows his special habit of pedophilia.
