Every year on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the ancestral hall is worshipped, and Mrs. Qi, as the head of the house, will not be absent as long as she is at home. Because it's a symbol of status and status.

After worshipping the ancestors, it was already two o'clock.

Mrs. Qi returned to the main courtyard and didn't see Qingshu, and when she asked, she was still in the study.

Han Shan said: "Madam, the girl has been reading and practicing calligraphy in the house since she came back from the Duan family. I asked her to go out for a walk, and she wouldn't. ”

Jiao Xing explained on the side: "Madam, my girl sometimes forgets the time when she reads a book. ”

Mrs. Qi walked into the study and saw Qingshu lying on the table asleep: "How do you take care of it?" I don't know if my cousin is asleep. ”

Han Shan was so frightened that her face changed: "When I first came in to add water, my cousin was not asleep yet!" ”

Mrs. Qi wanted to carry Qingshu into the house to sleep, but she woke up as soon as she met her.

Just woke up and was still a little confused, Qingshu rubbed his eyes: "Auntie, you're finally back." ”

Mrs. Qi touched Qingshu's head and said lovingly: "If you are sleepy, go to bed, and you will get cold if you sleep on the table." ”

As soon as he heard the bed, Qingshu's sleepiness suddenly disappeared. Just looked at the bunch of maids and women around her, and she swallowed it back when it came to her mouth.

At the time of the sacrifice, he wore formal clothes, which were very bulky. Mrs. Qi went into the house to change her clothes before she asked someone to pass the meal.

Qing Shu asked a little strangely, "Auntie, why didn't my cousin and aunt come over for dinner?" ”

Mrs. Qi smiled and said, "They eat in the front yard." ”

Qing Shu understood that he would definitely gather for lunch and dinner on the Chinese New Year's Eve this year: "Auntie, you don't have to come over to eat with me." ”

Mrs. Qi shook her head and said, "No, I come back to eat after the ancestral hall every year." ”

The difference is that in the past, Qi Wangming's family of four would come to eat with her, but this time Qi Wangming and his wife were left in the front yard.

As soon as Qingshu put down the dishes and chopsticks, Min came over.

Mrs. Qi said, "Didn't I say that you don't need to come over when you go back to the house after lunch." ”

Min said: "My husband didn't worry about you, so he specially asked me to come over to accompany my mother." ”

Mrs. Qi smiled: "What's not to worry about." You've been busy since last night, so hurry back and take a break, there are still a lot of things for you to take care of in the afternoon. ”

Min knew Mrs. Qi's temperament, and knew that she would be unhappy if she stayed any longer: "Mother, then I'll go back." ”

After Mrs. Qi finished eating, she took Qingshu's hand and walked on the verandah: "Qingshu, what's not used to living here?" If you want to, tell your aunt, don't hide it in your heart. ”

Qingshu showed a bright smile: "Auntie, my sisters are very good to me, and I am not used to it." ”

Mrs. Qi nodded slightly: "That's good." ”

After walking around the verandah, Mrs. Qi took Qingshu back to the house when she was tired.

Qingshu saw Mrs. Qi undressing and preparing to rest, and said, "Auntie, the bed is a little stuffy, let's sleep on the soft couch!" ”

Mrs. Qi smiled and nodded.

The two of them lay on the soft collapse, Qingshu lowered his voice and said to Mrs. Qi: "Auntie, you let them all go out, I have something to tell you." ”

Mrs. Qi was a little surprised, but she quickly recovered as before. She said to Li's mother and Han Xiang: "You all go down!" ”

The two of them bowed and withdrew.

Mrs. Qi originally thought that Qingshu had something to whisper, so she touched Qingshu's satin-like hair and chuckled and said, "If you say something, I promise not to say it." ”

Only then did Qing Shu speak: "Auntie, there are unclean things on your bed. ”

Mrs. Qi's face changed greatly, but she knew that Qing Shu had always been sensible and couldn't say this for no reason: "Qing Shu, but what did you find?" ”

Qing Shu said everything about last night's strangeness and what Master Duan said: "Auntie, my master has a lot of knowledge, I trust his judgment. ”

Mrs. Qi is like falling into an ice cave.

Qingshu grabbed Mrs. Qi's hand and said, "Auntie, maybe I'm too careful, but let's be cautious about this matter." ”

It is better to believe that there is something than to believe that it is not, otherwise you will lose your life.

After half a ring, Mrs. Qi said in a dumb voice: "Qingshu, if it weren't for you, my aunt might have died." ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "Auntie, I just have this suspicion, maybe I'm too careful, and I don't have anything!" ”

Mrs. Qi shook her head and said, "These days, I have been a little uncomfortable getting up in bed for the past two days, as if I haven't slept. But I invited Dr. Jiang to come over to check the pulse, and he said that I was just too tired and needed to rest. ”

If Qingshu hadn't slept with her and hadn't practiced in bed, he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual. In this way, when she dies, people will only think that she died of illness, and will not find out that she was poisoned.

Qingshu's heart sank: "Auntie, this may not be an ordinary poison, even if you invite a doctor to come, you may not be able to find out." ”

The doctor who wants to ask can't find out the problem, and if he can't catch the mastermind behind the scenes, he will be startled.

Mrs. Qi sighed and said, "I didn't expect that your grandmother would really say that that beast really wanted to kill me." ”

Qing Shu also guessed that it was Qi Xiuran's poisonous hand. If it weren't for the fact that he had been fine before, there would have been a problem with his aunt as soon as he came back, what such a coincidence!

"Auntie, what now?"

Mrs. Qi smiled and said, "Aunt will solve this matter, you don't have to worry." ”

Qingshu nodded. Killing his wife, such a horrific thing is not something she can participate in.

Mrs. Qi looked at her stepping bed and whispered, "I will write to Fu Ran tomorrow and ask her to pick you up and go home in the third year of junior high school." ”

Qi Xiuran's hand had already reached her side, she was not afraid of herself, but she was afraid of harming Qingshu.

Qingshu nodded: "Okay." Auntie, you have to be careful, too."

At this point every day, she had to go to bed, and after talking Qingshu, she yawned.

Mrs. Qi patted her lightly twice, and said softly, "Sleep well!" ”

After Mrs. Qi waited for Qingshu to fall asleep, she called Li's mother to go to the study together.

Mother Li looked at her and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”

Mrs. Qi asked, "Have Han Xiang and the others behaved abnormally recently?" ”

Seeing Mother Li looking at her with a puzzled expression, Mrs. Qi said, "I told you, I always feel a little heavy in bed for the past two days. ”

This Mother Li naturally knew: "Yes, Dr. Jiang also told you to have a good rest." ”

Mrs. Qi sneered and said, "It's also our carelessness, some time ago, I was on the right account for five days, and I was busy from morning to night every day, and I had nothing to do." These days are just busy with some miscellaneous things in the lower house, so why not be tired. ”

Mother Li's face changed greatly, and after a long time, she asked, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”

"On the bed."

She has always been in good health and rarely gets sick. In the early morning of the past two days, her head was a little heavy, and she was also suspicious, but Dr. Jiang said that she was caused by fatigue, which dispelled her doubts. So as soon as Shu said that there was a problem in bed, she believed it.
