Chapter 44: Funny
After Li Luoyao left, Li Qiuchi asked someone to try it with a silver needle, and found that it was non-toxic, so she was relieved.
The big fat man who was teasing in front of him saw the pastry on Li Qiuchi's table, and hurriedly jumped up to grab it, holding a jade-colored pastry with two paws, which looked very cute, and she couldn't help laughing.
She thought it was funny, and ravaged her fat hair hard, laughing so hard that her eyebrows and eyes crooked, "You still eat pastries for a cat?" β
Da Fat glanced at her very haughtily, and continued to hold the pastry and eat.
Cuiyu next to her was also surprised, "I've never seen a kitten eating pastries." The more she looked at it, the more she loved it, and she couldn't help but stroke the hair on its back.
In the next few days, Li Luoyao asked the servant to bring pastries, Li Qiuchi was not interested in the things she sent, and after trying non-toxic every day, he put them aside, and at this time he would always be snatched by the big fat.
Suddenly, when he got up one morning, the big fat was lying stiffly on the ground, and when Li Qiuchi hurriedly went over to check, he was out of breath. She hugged the fat corpse tightly, and suddenly burst into tears, and the whole person was at a loss.
Cuiyu was also anxious, and hurriedly called the doctor, "You were still alive a few days ago?" How could this be ......?"
The doctor looked at it for a long time, and then shook his head, "It's too late...... What kind of illness does this cat seem to have, and what has Miss fed it in the past few days? Or is it poorly cared for? β
Li Qiuchi's eyes were red, his voice was choked, and he shook his head in a trance, "I'll take care of it carefully, there will be no problems...... There was no problem with eating, only the pastries were given every morning. β
She suddenly thought of something, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and her back began to feel cold, and the pastry ......
Li Qiuchi played with the pastry in his hand, the shadows in his eyes changed, and his heart was also burning with anger. Banyu suddenly laughed, I didn't expect them to be so vicious, but I should have expected it, didn't I?
She stood up suddenly, strode out of the Autumn Rain Pavilion, and went straight to Li Xingzhao. Li Xingzhao saw her unkind face, and asked pretending to be concerned, "Qiu'er, what's wrong?" β
Li Qiuchi's face was numb, and he slowly took out the pastry in his hand, "Dad, this is the pastry that your good wife and your good daughter brought back to me." β
She smiled sarcastically, the pastry in her hand held high, "I haven't eaten it, my cat eats it every day, so it's not me who dies in the morning." When she said the end, her eyes were red again, and when she thought of Da Fat's company these days, her heart suddenly hurt a little.
Li Xingzhao was furious when he heard this, "How could such a mistake happen!" "The big wedding is coming, if something happens to Li Qiuchi, their entire Hou Mansion will be implicated, how can this Liu family do such a brainless thing?
He immediately called the Liu family over, and the Liu family was still at a loss at this time, "Master, what is the matter with calling the concubine at this time?" β
Li Xingzhao took a deep breath, "Let me ask you, do you give this pastry to Qiu'er every day?" β
Only then did Liu Shi notice Li Qiuchi, whose eyes were red, holding pastries in his hands, looking very in a trance. She was a little uneasy in her heart, but her face was calm, and she nodded to Li Xingzhao in confusion, "Yes, this is the pastry that the concubine saw by chance in Luoxuefang in the capital, it is very delicate and pleasant, so I want to bring some to Qiu'er to taste." β
Li Qiuchi sneered, "What is the intention, you know best, Liu, you don't have to pretend to be a loving mother here, I'm disgusting." β
Liu Shi frowned, looking very aggrieved, "Qiu'er, what do you mean by this?" Is it that the mother is not doing well? β
Li Qiuchi took a few steps back, and when he looked at her, his eyes were extremely disgusted, and he was extremely disgusted with everything here.
She felt her stomach rolling, her face turned pale, and a touch of sarcasm curled up on her lips, "Don't call yourself my mother, I have only one mother, and I have never been ......"
"Qiu'er!" Li Xingzhao's voice became stern.
Li Qiuchi stubbornly turned her head, feeling that her chest was blocked by something, her eyes were full of tears, and she bit her lip tightly to prevent tears from falling.
Liu shook his head helplessly, "You have always been prejudiced against me, so I didn't buy it myself, but asked the old man who bought it in the Hou Mansion to buy it, for fear that you would suspect it." β
"If you don't believe me, you can call the doctor to take a look."
After the doctor came, he also went to the Autumn Rain Pavilion to check on the cat for a long time, and then sighed, saluted Li Qiuchi and the people behind him, and then slowly spoke, "Back to the Hou Ye, madam, this cat has an incurable disease, and the pastry is not poisonous." β
Li Qiuchi sneered, which was obviously different from what the doctor said in the morning, "When the doctor said this, did he ever touch his conscience?" My cat has been jumping around all the time, how did he get an incurable disease? Such a lack of evidence is too unethical! β
The doctor's face was obviously displeased, "The girl is doubting my medical skills?" It's not that I said, looking at the whole capital, in terms of medical skills, if I say second, no one dares to call it first. β
Li Xingzhao hurriedly smiled: "The little girl is young, she has no intention of offending you." Qiu'er, and apologize to Dr. Gu. β
Li Qiuchi apologized expressionlessly, and the matter was stopped, and the doctor left in a hurry after saying some precautions, and Li Xingzhao didn't stay long. Only the Liu family stayed, pretended to care, and was driven away by Li Qiuchi's cold face.
After waiting for no one around, Li Qiuchi leaned on the bed, crying profusely, feeling that her throat was also terried, she didn't know what was wrong, she kept holding the cat and whimpering, and her eyes were red.
The mood slowly calmed down, she picked up the letter on the table, and was about to ask Chu Jinrong for help, she didn't believe the doctor invited by the Liu family at all, and now only Chu Jinrong could help her with this.
She sharpened her ink and began to write, stating what had happened. After a long time, she put down the pen, picked up the letter paper and studied it carefully, before calling Cuiyu in and sending her to the East Palace.
Cuiyu was also distressed when she saw Li Qiuchi so haggard, so she hurriedly responded and walked out quickly.
Li Qiuchi sat on the bed, and suddenly remembered a lot of things, remembered her mother's gentle smile like a spring breeze, remembered that it was a big hand that pulled her when she fell when she was a child, and remembered the big fat little head poking out from behind the hidden door...... Thinking about it, it suddenly blurred, she hugged herself helplessly, and still felt the cold invade as well.
As soon as Chu Jinrong saw the arrival letter, he quickly rushed to the Autumn Rain Pavilion with the well-known imperial doctor next to him, and sure enough, he detected that there was oleander juice that could kill in the pastry. He was furious and slammed the table, "Who is so bold?" Even the fiancΓ©e of the main palace dares to murder! β
Li Qiuchi's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and oleander juice ...... She had a chill down her spine and her stomach was tumbling. There seemed to be a fire hidden in her chest, ready to burn her out.
Chu Jinrong saw that her face was pale, knowing that she was frightened, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, he took her shoulder, and his voice was gentle and firm: "Okay, okay, I will definitely help you decide this matter!" β
After speaking, his eyes turned cold, and he ordered the people next to him: "From today on, all the people in the Hou Mansion cannot leave the mansion, and the palace will personally investigate the case." If the real culprit is not caught for a day, the people here will not be able to take half a step out of the Hou Mansion for a day! β
