Chapter 32: Business is not good
Alas, she was so nice.
In order to cooperate with these two people to poison, she has to pretend not to pay attention to eat vegetables, how can there be such a good victim as her in the world.
System: "No toxins in the house, no toxins." ”
Zhen Chutian was completely relieved, and Yu Guang saw Zhen Yue picking open her purse and poking a little powder with her fingernails, and she couldn't tell what it was like.
In this deep mansion compound, where do some things need to be fought to the point of life and death? But Zhen Yue didn't hesitate at all when she asked for her life, obviously she couldn't wait for her to die.
She is a healer, but one day she will have to experience life and death, not to mention how uncomfortable she feels in her heart.
But even if it was uncomfortable, she knew that she couldn't be soft-hearted, and if she showed mercy to Tang Meihua's mother and daughter, she would be counterattacked.
"Sister, try this egg drop soup, it's delicious." Zhen Yue put the bowl in front of her.
Xiao Tang's eating movements slowed down, and he stared directly at Zhen Chutian's reaction, for fear that she would refuse to move her chopsticks like yesterday.
Zhen Chutian didn't hesitate, just smiled lightly, and then took a few sips of the soup bowl: "Yes, sweet and delicious, I have never drunk such egg drop soup." ”
After speaking, she drank the egg drop soup as if she hadn't eaten for 800 years.
Seeing that she had eaten and wiped clean, Zhen Yue's excited little face turned red, and she couldn't help but exchange glances with Xiao Tang.
God knows how jealous she hates Zhen Chutian, now it's okay, as long as this cheap hoof dies, the right to steward belongs to her mother, and the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion who makes her father proud is her, and Prince An's family affairs will also fall on her head.
Everything Zhen Chutian took away, she had to take it back without hesitation.
Everyone knew what was in this egg drop soup, so they waited with bated breath for Zhen Chutian to have an accident.
But not only did the party not have a poisonous hair, but continued to eat and drink with a big appetite, and dried four shortbreads in one go.
"My sister can really eat." Zhen Yue took the empty bowl with a smile and handed it to Cui Ping casually: "Bring the clean dishes and chopsticks again, and I'll put some mutton for my sister."
Cui Ping knew that her young lady was going to destroy the evidence, so she immediately stepped forward to take the bowl and leave.
"No, no, no, I'm over." Zhen Chutian touched his round belly and hiccuped a little: "Is there any refreshing tea?" I ate too greasy. ”
"Yes, of course." Zhen Yue hesitated for a moment, grabbed her purse and walked to the table, poured the powder in the purse into the tea cup, poured hot tea and melted it.
Zhen Chutian didn't even look at it, and took it and drank it in a few sips.
Seeing her satisfied illness resting on the chair, Xiao Tang and Zhen Yue were dumbfounded, they really didn't expect the poison to attack so slowly.
Knowing what the two were thinking, Zhen Chutian sneered in his heart, and excitedly proposed to play chess.
Zhen Yue couldn't refuse, and wanted to see when she would die, so she reluctantly accompanied her to play two sets.
This game of chess was played until almost noon, and two hours passed, and Zhen Chutian was still alive.
Xiao Tang couldn't sit still at all, and leaned over with a smile and asked, "Chu Tian, how are you feeling now?" After eating so much in the morning, you didn't accumulate food, right?"
"No, no, I'm still a little hungry now, so I won't bother my aunt and sister here, I'll go back to the Lotus Pavilion to check the accounts first." Zhen Chutian dropped the chess pieces and got up casually.
Pei'er hurriedly stepped forward to help her young lady, trying her best to control her worried look.
The master and servant walked away, and the people in the room were a little relieved.
Xiao Tang frowned suspiciously: "What's going on?" Yue'er, did you really put the poison in?"
"Put it in, you see I still have poison in my nails." Zhen Yue hurriedly stretched out her hand to let her see, and she couldn't understand this, Xiao Tang was completely confused, and walked around the house: "It won't be like this, the person who sold poison said that this poison will attack in half an hour, it is a good poison that kills people, it has been almost three hours, why is it that Zhen Chutian has nothing to do with continuous poisoning?"
"Auntie, don't worry, let's wait, maybe she has eaten too much breakfast, and the poison has not yet had time to work.
Zhen Yue hurriedly appeased, not wanting her to worry about this matter all the time.
Xiao Tang pursed his lips and stared thoughtfully at the purse on her waist, and suddenly his eyes lit up after a while.
Seeing her strange expression, Zhen Yue was a little puzzled: "Auntie, what did you think of?"
"Hand out." Xiao Tang suppressed the speculation in his heart and pinched her wrist.
The powder in the nails is soft and delicate, and it looks like it is highly poisonous.
She dipped it lightly on her fingertips, hesitated for a moment, and then put it into her mouth.
"Auntie!" Zhen Yue was startled, and it was too late to stop it.
Xiao Tang tasted it for a moment, and his solemn face was instantly filled with rage: "This is not poison at all, it is flour!"
Hearing this, Zhen Yue's eyes widened in disbelief: "Impossible, we obviously tried it on the wild cat, the wild cat bled to death not long after eating it, how can this be flour?" Auntie, spit it out!"
Xiao Tang waved his hand with a serious expression, directly pulled off the purse around her waist, took out the powder and poured it on the table, and poured half a cup of tea on it.
Seeing that the powder had turned into paste, Zhen Yue covered her mouth in shock: "It's obviously a green medicine, how can it turn into flour overnight?"
"No wonder she suddenly came to the main courtyard, and she was in a hurry to eat, giving us the opportunity to poison, it turned out that she had already known that there was flour in her purse." Xiao Tang gritted his teeth, his eyes full of jealousy.
Zhen Yue frowned tightly, only to feel that this matter was unbelievable: "Impossible, I have always carried this purse with me, and I will never give her a chance to do anything, not to mention why she can find out that I have poison on my body, even if she wants to take the poison, it is impossible to do it." ”
"She doesn't necessarily have to come to get it herself, are all the maids in your courtyard loyal?" Xiao Tang raised his eyes and looked at the maids around him, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Hearing this, Zhen Yue narrowed her eyes and followed to glance at these trembling maids.
Lotus Pavilion.
Zhen Chutian was lying on the beauty couch, and he was about to die.
Seeing Pei'er coming in with tea, she immediately waved her hand: "Don't, don't show me anything that can enter your mouth, I'm afraid that I will spit it out Pei'er hurriedly sent the tea out, and when she came back, she smiled a little helplessly: "Miss go and go, why do you want to eat so much?" It's good now, and I'm almost unable to walk. ”
"I finally went to the main courtyard once, and I can't come back after eating and drinking? What's more, you didn't see that Zhen Yue was diligent in pouring tea and water, of course, I had to let her serve me with more vegetables. Zhen Chutian couldn't help laughing out loud when he thought of this.
The way Xiao Tang and Zhen Yue stared at her was really funny.
It's really a lifetime, to be served by the enemy like this.
Pei'er rubbed her stomach for her in the past, and the technique and strength were just right: "If they are exchanged for poison, I don't know what to do next, Miss should be more vigilant." ”
"Don't worry, they won't be able to get this colorless and odorless poison anymore:" Zhen Chutian yawned, she didn't care at all, she had her own system to detect toxins, and she still needed to guard against these two people? Besides, Xiao Tang's younger sister of Tang Meihua is not suitable to live in the house for a long time, and I am afraid that she will have to leave in a few days.
When the time comes, only Zhen Yue will be left, and she wants to see what kind of storms this little girl can make.
Pei'er nodded, and said: "The slave maid heard that two days is the big day for the prince of the General's Mansion to get married, and we must go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the young lady must dress up well at that time, don't let Zhen Yue press her head." ”
"Dressing up is to be dressed, but this is glamorous....... Zhen Yue can still do it. Zhen Chutian said this meaningfully: "Let's go, let's go to see other shops today, and buy some jewelry to go out by the way." ”
The master and servant left the Prime Minister's Mansion and went to the street to visit a few shops managed by Tang Meihua, and found that whether it was an embroidery workshop or a restaurant, there was nothing unusual.
But Zhen Chutian didn't believe that Tang Meihua didn't do anything about it, so he went to the embroidery workshop to check.
A few embroidery girls were whispering around, and when they saw someone coming in, they just looked at it twice and turned around and talked to themselves.
Pei'er looked a little displeased: "We are here to buy cloth, why didn't anyone come to show me?"
"I believe that this young lady has eyes, and all the fabrics in the embroidery workshop are here, won't you choose them yourself?" Xiuniang endured it without hesitation, not afraid of offending people at all.
Zhen Chutian narrowed his eyes and slowly walked in front of a few people: "That's how you work?" Where is the steward? Call him out. ”
The embroidery girl who had just mocked her immediately straightened her back: "I'm in charge, what's the matter?"
"Aren't you afraid of the closure of the embroidery workshop? Before you ignore it, it's best to find out what the other party's identity is, otherwise it is possible that your embroidery workshop will not be opened. Zhen Chutian quietly threatened, looking back and forth at several people.
She didn't expect the people in the embroidery workshop to work so lazily, it seems that Tang Meihua felt that the business of the embroidery workshop was not very good, and she simply left it alone if she couldn't get oil and water.
Hearing this, the embroidery girl sneered even more disdainfully: "What is your identity?" I tell you, even if you are the queen of the dynasty, I will not serve! Don't you have eyes? You can take the cloth you like, and you have to be led by others, where do you have such a big face?"
When Peier saw such an aggressive embroidery girl for the first time, she was so angry that she was about to step forward to theorize, but she was tightly pulled by her own lady.
Seeing the triumphant appearance of a few embroidery girls, Zhen Chutian unhurriedly took out the account book and looked at the profits of several embroidery workshops: "No wonder the temper is so big, it turns out that the embroidery workshop is not doing well, and it can only be handed over two hundred taels of silver every month." ”
Hearing this, all the embroidery girls looked at each other, and some couldn't guess her identity.
The embroidery girl at the head was shocked and said, "You, how can you know so much?" You're sent by the Grand Lady?"
"This is the eldest lady of Zhenfu, who was ordered to check the accounts." Pell lifted her chin and said this defiantly.
Zhen Chutian hooked his lips: "The business of several embroidery workshops is not good, I'm afraid it's all caused by your virtue, right?" Don't worry, when I go back, I will tell my father and mother the truth, and let them reorganize the embroidery workshop. ”
After speaking, she no longer glanced at the embroidery girl, and turned around and left leisurely.
For this kind of embroidery girl who doesn't work well and always offends the guests, there is nothing to show mercy at all, just send it out.
Simply this is also Tang Meihua's people, all of whom are trying to get rid of them and replace them with those who are loyal to the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are only benefits and no harms.
"How can this be, it seems that the eldest lady only cares about whether those big shops can give her oil and water, and such a small workshop can't get into her eyes at all." Pei'er pecked her mouth, very dissatisfied with the embroidery girls.
Zhen Chutian hooked his lips and said disapprerovingly: "This time, all the shops of all sizes have to be rectified, I don't believe that after my father knows these things, he will let her continue to take care of the house." ”
"Miss...."
Pei'er was about to smile and praise her, but she was stunned when she saw the person standing in front of her.
"What's wrong?" Zhen Chutian followed and looked over, and when he saw the people standing next to the carriage, he was also stunned.
It was a personal entourage of Gu Mo, it seemed to be called an old war.
