There were three extremely conspicuous incense ash marks, and the one on the far left already had traces of mutilation.

A fragrant ash mark is a day of longevity.

Mrs. An Si now has less than three days of Yang Shou left!

Shen Shu carefully looked at the face of the fourth wife——

At this moment, the afternoon sun shone obliquely on the face of the fourth wife.

Her face was as pale as paper, without any blood, and she looked sick.

Because of this, the three incense ash marks on her eyebrows are even more shocking.

Don't...... The fourth aunt's illness is so serious?

Just in Shen Shu's stunned mind-

Mrs. Chiang patted her hand, took her, and went up the stairs into the house.

The upper room of Xingfang Courtyard is furnished everywhere to show luxury, and the fragrance of water is curling, which pours into the tip of the nose, adding a sense of luxury.

The fourth lady pinched her sick throat and politely let her sit down.

When Mrs. Jiang and Shen Shu sat down, she leaned on the couch, holding the lead pillow of ochre red and gold thread in one hand, making a weak appearance.

"Let the second sister-in-law laugh, I have had a head attack in the past two days, my brain is like a slurry, and sometimes I will talk nonsense, and I ask the second sister-in-law not to be like me."

One moment he also accused Sang of scolding Huai for degrading people to worthlessness, and the next moment he seemed to be round.

Only the fourth wife, who is arched in the palm of everyone's hand every day, will have such a style.

In the eyes of the fourth wife, Mrs. Jiang came to "visit the patient" at this time, which was guilty of her.

She was angry, and she condescended to find an excuse to Mrs. Jiang at the bottom of the steps, which can be regarded as taking care of the face of the concubine.

Shen Shu frowned slightly when she heard the words "head attack" and "talking nonsense".

This is a symptom after hot cordata poisoning.

In Fuyun Temple that day, if she hadn't found out that the third brother had been poisoned, the third brother would have become like this now.

Shen Shu clenched her palms and stared at Mrs. An's face faintly.

I didn't notice it just now, but now that it's closer, Shen Shu can see it very clearly-

The fourth aunt's sick and "pale" face was because of the thick incense powder.

And although incense was burning in this room, there was not a trace of medicine.

Obviously, the so-called "head disease" of the fourth aunt is pretended.

In other words, her imminent longevity is not related to the "illness" of these two days.

But since it was a pretended illness, why did he say that it was exactly the same as the poison of the hot cordata that the third brother had before?

This had to make Shen Shu think more.

Not only Shen Shu, but even Mrs. Jiang listened to the words of the fourth wife, and her face, which originally had a two-point smile, also sank slightly.

Mrs. Jiang looked at Mama Wei on the side, and ordered lightly: "I have something to say to Mrs. Fourth, you take the servants in the house down first." ”

Mama Wei hesitated, looked at the fourth wife, and saw that the fourth lady did not stop her, so she bowed down and led the people out.

When there were only three masters left in the room, the fourth wife sat up slightly straight, her chin was slightly raised, and her expression could not hide her sense of superiority: "The second sister-in-law knows that I am not an unforgiving character, and I have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Although she didn't say it explicitly, there was a faint hint in her tone, she thought that Mrs. Jiang had withdrawn and wanted to apologize to her.

Mrs. Jiang naturally saw through the fourth wife's thoughts, and did not say it thoroughly, but only asked straightforwardly and businesslikely: "I came today to ask the fourth brother and sister, last month, you asked the purchaser to buy a few pieces of new porcelain from the Anjia shop?" ”

When the fourth wife heard this, she knew that Mrs. Jiang was not here to apologize, so she couldn't hold it on her face, and her tone was a little unkind.

"Oh, I said...... It turned out that it was for this reason that the second sister-in-law disposed of those who bought it? ”

She said, deliberately brushing the spring shirt cut by Shu brocade on her body, and mocked: "Don't blame the second sister-in-law for not knowing the goods, the kiln is an official kiln, the new porcelain of the kiln, in addition to the tribute, there are only two or three hundred pieces in the entire Great Zhou, like the Jiang family, ordinary merchants who have no official background, even if they throw money, they can't get it."

Anjia shop only got more than 20 pieces this time, for the sake of the face of the in-laws, I begged A-Niang to let the shopkeeper leave a few pieces to the Shen Mansion, those few pieces of porcelain, and not only into our four rooms, the third brother also received a pot in the courtyard, but the matter of a thousand taels of silver, and the second sister-in-law personally approved, just because of this matter, I also made a big fuss. ”

Shen Shu on the side, hearing this, her eyebrows moved slightly.

The pot that hides poison in the third brother's room in Mingyuezhai is the new porcelain of Yue Kiln.

As the fourth aunt said, the kiln is an official kiln, and with the precision of the bottom mechanism of the pot, it is by no means customizable to ordinary people.

And the fourth aunt's family settled down, which happened to be a family of eunuchs.

Don't......

Is the person who poisoned really related to the fourth aunt?

With this thought, Shen Shu looked at the fourth wife's gaze, which instantly became a little complicated.

Father and fourth uncle are brothers of the same mother, and the fourth aunt has always had a knife mouth and a tofu heart, which is not bad for her and the third brother.

Even when she first entered the park, the words of the fourth aunt really made people angry.

But Shen Shushi didn't want to believe that the fourth aunt would have something to do with the person behind the poison.

"Yuzhi."

Mrs. Jiang's deep voice called out the name of the fourth wife, interrupting Shen Shu's contemplation.

Even the fourth wife had a hint of doubt on her face.

"The bottom of the pot in the bouldering room has a mechanism for hiding drugs, if it weren't for the night before yesterday, your second brother found a master to diagnose the pulse of the bouldering, and accidentally found the poison at the bottom of the pot, the bouldering might have ......"

"What?!"

The fourth wife stood up rubbingly, and her face covered with thick powder couldn't suppress the shock.

When Mrs. Jiang saw the appearance of the fourth wife, she unconsciously slowed down her voice: "You and I have been concubines for many years, and the second room and the fourth room have always been in the same breath, and there has never been a discord. I have always known you as a person, and tomorrow is the limit of seven days under my mother, and I really don't want to confront you tomorrow. ”

Speaking of this, she paused: "This matter, now only you know, I know, if it is really you, I told you today, even if I startled the snake, I will admit it." But if it has nothing to do with you, who wants to borrow An Jia and your hands to set up such a killing situation, it still depends on you to investigate carefully. ”

When Mrs. An Si heard this, she looked at Mrs. Jiang with a complicated expression.

"Second sister-in-law......"

Mrs. Jiang stood up and raised her hand to interrupt her: "Between you and me, there is no need to say much. ”

After saying this, Mrs. Jiang pulled Shen Shu, said goodbye to Mrs. Chao'an, and left Xingfang Courtyard.

It wasn't until she returned to Mrs. Jiang's Lanchun Courtyard and dismissed the people who served that Shen Shu asked the doubts in her heart: "Mother, ...... Doing this today, do you really believe that the fourth aunt has nothing to do with this matter? ”

Mrs. Jiang took Shen Shu's hand and looked into her eyes gently but firmly: "Your father and your fourth uncle, just like you and your third brother, if it were you today, would you believe that your third brother has nothing to do with this matter?" ”

Shen Shu nodded without hesitation: "Of course I believe that the third brother will not harm me." ”

However, the next moment-

She said suspiciously: "But this time it's the fourth aunt, not the fourth uncle......"

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "Your fourth uncle and fourth aunt are deeply affectionate, they are husband and wife, and they are not separated from each other. Our family of military generals, on the battlefield is to fight for their lives, if they can't even entrust their brothers, how can they be invincible. Your father and fourth uncle are brothers and comrades on the battlefield, and the sea of swords and corpses have been carried over, and your fourth aunt will naturally not drag your fourth uncle back in this kind of thing. ”

She said, her voice deepened: "What's more, the purpose of the people who poisoned them this time was not to poison the bouldering, but to have other intentions, if they achieve their goal, it will be a disaster for our family, and your fourth aunt will definitely not do such a stupid thing!" ”

These words made Shen Shu's mind "buzz", as if there was some picture, flashing by......
