Chapter 240: Pastry is poisonous
The sixth aunt's face is not very good-looking at the moment, she just wants to come to see this Jin Pavilion, so as to recall the time in Shuyuan, and it is not good to come over abruptly empty-handed, I didn't expect to be framed in vain!
"Sixth aunt, don't be angry, you come and take a look at this first." Qin Xuechu then took out the silver needle and tried it in the pastry left in the dish, the needle body turned black, and the sixth aunt's face changed, "Miss, I didn't poison it, no!" ”
The sixth aunt looked at Qin Xuechuyu's indifferent appearance, for fear that she would tell the matter, ah, if the old man knew, he would definitely kick herself out...... "Sixth aunt don't have to be nervous, I know that my aunt won't do this kind of thing." "Qin Xue was the first to say.
But the sixth aunt was even more nervous when she heard this, and she said anxiously: "Miss, you have to believe me, I didn't poison me, it's the second aunt!" It must be her, she deliberately revealed that the eldest lady returned home, and she knew that I would definitely come to Jin Pavilion...... This poison must have been inflicted by her! ”
Qin Xue Chu Yu asked, "Why did the sixth aunt say that?" ”
"The second aunt knows that I am reluctant to Shu Yuan... Miss's Jin Pavilion is very similar to Shu Yuan's layout, the eldest lady lives in Jin Pavilion, and she knows that I will definitely come... So...... The sixth aunt said with a sinking face.
I didn't expect the second aunt to be so vicious, not to mention suppressing her in the incense courtyard, and intending to frame her to murder the eldest lady, if the eldest lady had something to do, she would be beaten to death by the master!
Qin Xue Chu looked at her fixedly, "Sixth aunt, don't make a noise about this beforehand, don't let anyone know." ”
"Why?" The sixth aunt asked, is it possible to let her swallow the pain in her stomach?
The sixth aunt said hatefully: "I should let the master know and investigate it thoroughly!" ”
Qin Xuechuyu said to her, "If my aunt goes to tell my father, can she guarantee that the status of the Li family will be shaken?" Or can you guarantee that you can not be implicated? Qin Xue Chuyu patted her hand and reassured her, "I have a way, my aunt has endured it for so long, and I am not in a hurry to get justice back at this time." ”
The sixth aunt met her calm eyes and finally nodded.
At the end, the sixth aunt left the courtyard, only to see her face full of anger. The third aunt who happened to pass by saw her come out, hurriedly greeted her, and asked, "Sister, what's the matter, so angry?" ”
The sixth aunt snorted coldly, "Hmph, it's not the eldest lady yet..."
A crack was opened in the window of the room, and through this Qin Xue Chuyu clearly saw the third aunt standing outside, she hooked her head to look here from time to time, as if she was very curious about what was going on inside, and refused to leave.
Lu Qiao and Lu Yi entered the house, and said, "Miss, is it really the second aunt who wants to harm Miss?" Why doesn't there be a day of peace in this house, and the second aunt is really, why is she so vicious! ”
"Not necessarily." Qin Xuechu said slowly: "Now that the mother and daughter of the West Courtyard have only been lifted, they can't wait to do it now, which should cause suspicion." ”
"That's... Is the sixth aunt lying? Qin Xuechuyu shook her head, "It shouldn't be." ”
Lu Qiao was about to cry, facing the poison of others, her young lady still looked calm. "Miss, what if it's really Aunt Six who lies!"
"No, if she wants to poison me, why not poison all the pastries? Besides, she sent the pastries, and if something happens to me, she will definitely not be able to get out of it. ”
Lu Qiao thought for a while and said, "Has the sixth aunt already thought of a plan to get out?" ”
"Something happened to me, how can she get out? Will her father let her run away? Qin Xue Chu Yu continued: "If I hadn't beaten that pastry, she would have eaten it. I don't have a deep grudge against Aunt Six, and she doesn't need to risk her life to harm me. ”
And the sixth aunt's performance doesn't look like it's pretending, and now there can only be two guesses, one is that the person poisoned the sixth aunt in her pastry, and the other is that the person knew that the sixth aunt was coming to Jin Pavilion and borrowed the sixth aunt's hand to get rid of Qin Xue Chuyu, so as to kill two birds with one stone.
……
The sixth aunt left angrily, but it attracted many curious people, and they deliberately passed by in front of the Jin Pavilion.
They all hooked their heads to look inside, and they saw Lu Qiao and green dressed in aqua green maid clothes, and the two of them were busy going in and out, but they didn't see the eldest lady and the new maid Xinke.
Xinke was sent by Qin Xuechu to the Gu family yesterday, and it was also the day when the bamboo forest was wandering. Although Xin Ke was specially asked by Qin Xue Chuyu to come over, she was still a third-class maid, and she didn't like Qin Xue Chuyu much, but she was a little deliberately alienated. Qin Xue was interested in cultivating Xinke to become her right-hand man, and before that, she needed to test whether her heart was towards herself and towards Jin Ge.
Xinke lowered his head and said respectfully: "Miss, let me do those jobs, Sister Luqiao and Sister Green are both Miss's personal maids, they should have served in the house, and the work outside should be handed over to the slaves." ”
Qin Xue Chu put aside the teacup and smiled faintly, it seems that the three of them get along very well, so there will be no infighting, and she is also relieved.
"Xinke, do you remember what I told you that day?"
Xinke raised his head suddenly, and then suddenly realized, "Miss is talking about ......"
Qin Xue Chuyu smiled, "Go back and prepare well, I guess someone is going to invite you to tea, if there is any reward for you, just accept it, and you should save the dowry silver for yourself." ”
Xin Ke's face was frightened, and when she wanted to say something, Qin Xuechu stepped forward and patted her hand to reassure her, "I know what you have to say, you can just accept what people give, it's better than the monthly order you received in the mansion." But you have to say what I say......"
Xin Ke didn't say anything more after hearing this, and only remembered what Qin Xue Chu Yu said in his heart.
……
When Lu Qiao Green Yi cleaned up the things outside, he entered the house, only to see Qin Xuechu behind Xin Ke a little uncomfortable, and before she could ask, she heard her own lady let her out.
"Xinke, you go and buy the truffles I want, as well as the medicinal herbs."
"Yes, miss." Xinke was slightly blessed and retreated. She closed the door softly as she walked, but she was still a little worried, she made up her mind and went to the shopping place.
Just walking around the corner, Xinke was suddenly covered by someone's mouth, his eyes widened, and he immediately struggled. I only heard the man reprimand: "Don't move, don't shout!" Good obedience is indispensable for your benefits. ”
When Xinke heard this, he stopped talking and obediently stayed where he was.
When the little guy saw this, he took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into Xinke, "Be quiet, there will be more benefits later!" ”
Xinke hesitated for a moment, but still put away the silver, and then followed the little maid.
The corners of the little girl's mouth were drawn with disdain, and he carefully took Xinke to a courtyard.
The three aunts in the inner hall are dressed in gorgeous clothes, with four pearls, and the decoration in the house is also precious.
