Chapter 33: Discord
After the doctor checked Chu Yiyi's pulse, he prescribed several prescriptions to calm his mind, and told Zheng Yuan that Chu Yiyi's body should not have similar mood swings due to severe trauma, otherwise, it would endanger his life. Zheng Yuan knew that it must be the sword wound that did not heal, leaving the root of the disease, and a burst of self-blame surged in his heart, and at the same time, he was even more determined to treat Chu Yiyi. Regarding the incident that day, he sent a few people down to investigate the cause of the incident, and soon, he learned that it was indeed Chu Yiyi who Du Huanting was flirting with in the room, and Meng Qingqing and several maids and servants saw it with their own eyes.
The house also began to spread rumors that Du Huanting and Chu Yiyi were competing for favor and fighting with each other. These rumors reached Zheng Yuan's ears, and he was so angry that he locked up Du Huanting for two more days.
"I'm going to kill him!" In Du Huanting's room, she was holding a fruit knife, and she was angry and wanted to walk out of the door, but was stopped by the girl next to her.
"Miss Du, don't be impulsive, the knife doesn't have long eyes." The two of you pulled me and pulled, but the fruit knife fell to the ground, Du Huanting stared at the fruit knife on the ground with hatred, and stepped on it angrily, "It's too much to bully, too much to bully." She took the fruit knife as Zheng Yuan and ravaged it with her feet. Everything in the room was clearly heard by Lingzhi passing outside, she thought for a while, turned around and walked towards Beiyuan, and after a while, she arrived at the door of the general's room, and put her ear to the door to listen for a while. Then he gently closed the door and clasped it three times, and Lingzhi called: "General, about Miss Chu, Lingzhi knows the truth. Immediately, the vermilion door opened, and Lingzhi leaned in and closed the door with his backhand. Seeing her enter the house, Zheng Yuan raised his head and said, "Let's talk about it." Lingzhi grovelled and said: "The general took me in as a maid, and he was as kind to me as a mountain, Lingzhi always kept it in mind, and now he knows the truth of the matter, and he doesn't dare to hide it, in fact, the general is wrong to blame Miss Du, and Meng Qingqing is the real mastermind of this matter." ”
The atmosphere suddenly became serious, and seeing that Zheng Yuan did not interrupt her words, Lingzhi continued: "The reason why Miss Du behaved ridiculously was because she drank that bowl of lotus seed soup. The lotus seed soup was put into the urging by Meng Qingqing, and she wanted to put it in the sweat medicine to fascinate Miss Chu, but fortunately she pretended to be her tonight and seduce the general, but she took the wrong medicine and was drunk by Miss Du, so it became this situation. Meng Qingqing told me these things personally, she thought she was bound to win, and wanted to enlist me to help her, but I didn't want to do something ungrateful, so I rejected her. The general only had to send someone to check the bowl of soup to know that Lingzhi was not lying at all. ”
Zheng Yuan frowned, a trace of anger appeared on his face, he held back the anger in his chest, and calmly said to the person beside him: "Come on, let the imperial doctor test the bowl." The subordinate immediately trotted down. Soon, he brought back the news, and presented the bowl that was broken in half, and said: "General, the imperial doctor said that the wall of the bowl, the bottom of the bowl and the soup do have a lot of traces of using aphrodisiac, love, and powder. Zheng Yuan raised his eyelids, and under his thick eyelashes, a few cold lights flashed in his pupils, and he said, "Got it, you all go down." The atmosphere suddenly became silent, Lingzhi quietly observed Zheng Yuan's face, and when he saw that his goal had been achieved, he withdrew knowingly.
On the other side, Du Huanting was sulking in the room, not even eating the food on the table. The maid beside her tried her best to persuade Du Huanting to eat. "Girl, you haven't eaten for a few meals, you're going to be hungry, why can't you get along with yourself." Du Huanting glared at the food on the table, and thought angrily: "It's not a way to go on a hunger strike all the time, if I starve to death, wouldn't it just fulfill Zheng Yuan's wish." Stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, and when my Du family finishes this pass, see how I clean you up. Under the dumbfounded gaze of the maid, Du Huanting devoured it. If you don't be hungry for a few days, you don't know the deliciousness of firewood, rice, oil and salt. For the first time, she felt that the rice was so fragrant, that is, the dishes were lighter, and they were all vegetarian. Du Huanting picked for a long time, but she didn't pick out a single piece of meat. This is house arrest, it is clearly a monk! "Can you serve a plate of meat?" Du Huanting turned around and asked the maid. "Miss Chu doesn't like meat, so most of the vegetarian food prepared in the house happened to run out of meat the day before yesterday." Du Huanting was unhappy when she heard this, she complained: "I don't accept such obvious differential treatment, she Chu Yiyi is a human being, and I am also a human being." Go get me some meat, and I'll give you money." Her order made the maid look embarrassed, and the prefect had to obtain the consent of the general himself for the ingredients to be bought and sold, and the subordinate could not make the decision, so she said, "The slave and maid go and ask the general for instructions." ”
"Wait, you're not allowed to ask him." Du Huanting grabbed the maid's sleeve, "Directly order the kitchen to buy it for me." I'll see what he Zheng Yuan can do to me. ”
The maid hesitated, after all, she was the maid of the General's Mansion, so naturally she couldn't listen to Du Huanting's orders. But the daughter of Xiangguo Mansion can't be too lazy, and when she is in a dilemma, Zheng Yuan is like a life-saving straw. The maid took the opportunity to exit the door. Seeing Zheng Yuan, Du Huanting stopped the movements in her hand with some embarrassment, and looked at Du Huanting with a mouthful of oil, Zheng Yuan was also a little embarrassed.
