Chapter 078: Safflower Drink (20)

"Stinky fox, are you trying to make me cry?"

"So easily moved?"

"I'm going to die." Xing Ruyi slapped the fox lightly, but the fox held his hand and pulled him directly into his arms. Xing Ruyi struggled for a moment and looked up at his face: "I knew that someone was pregnant with a little fox, and I deliberately said these words to me." You see, my eyes are red. ”

"Then I won't talk about it later."

"No way!" Xing Ruyi sniffed and said arrogantly: "You have to tell me every day in the future." ”

"Every day?" The fox grimaced: "Can I take back what I just said." ”

"Can't!"

"Alas! In vain, I thought I was smart, and I didn't think that I would dig a pit and bury myself today. Well, as long as you don't get tired of this ear, I'll say it once a day. ”

"I'm going to listen to something different."

"This ......" the fox scratched Xing Ruyi's nose: "It's a little difficult." ”

"If it's simple, do you still use you, a thousand-year-old fox, to get out of the horse?" Xing Ruyi winked at the fox, broke free from his arms, and quickly walked into the house.

The room still seems to maintain the appearance of the new aunt when she left, and even the teapot on the tea table is half-open. The tea leaves inside were already showing signs of decay, and when I got closer, I could smell a somewhat choking smell.

"It seems that this new aunt is not very favored in the Wang family."

"How so?"

"The Wang family is also a wealthy and noble family in Yong'an City, and Master Wang has accumulated a lot of wealth in his hands, which can be seen from the layout of the courtyard alone. Well, just talk about the stone used to decorate this small courtyard, which is the authentic Taihu Lake stone. If you want to transport such a stone from Taihu Lake to Yong'an, you can't do it without a few thousand taels of silver.

If you look at this house, the wood used to build the house is also carefully selected, the height and thickness can be carved by craftsmen, but the texture of this wood is innate. The furnishings and decorations in this house are all excellent things, but the tea leaves in this teapot are defective. ”

"Tea?"

The fox doesn't like to drink tea, or rather, he doesn't have any special requirements for tea. What he usually drinks is also brewed by Ruyi himself, and he only thinks that the entrance is better than that of ordinary restaurants, but he has not studied it carefully.

"I know you don't understand tea, but you see, the tea leaves in this teapot have all condensed after decay. It shows that the original brew in this teapot was broken tea leaves. To put it bluntly, it is tea foam. In such a large family, this kind of tea is for the next person to drink. ”

"Since she is a new aunt, she doesn't deserve this kind of treatment."

"It seems that behind the murder of this new aunt, there are some secrets that we don't know." Xing Ruyi said and walked to the bed: "Before Bai Yu died, he showed me a handkerchief. The handkerchief belonged to the second lady of the Wang family. The second lady of the Wang family is in a somewhat awkward position. She was originally the eldest lady's maid, because the eldest lady could not conceive an heir, so the eldest lady gave her to the lord of the Wang family.

The second lady herself is also competitive, and she gave birth to a boy in her first child, which can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the Wang family. But it didn't take long for the child to die. It is said that this child, who died young, was killed by the eldest lady. ”

"Why would this eldest lady kill a child?"

Xing Ruyi looked back at the fox: "How can I explain it to you, I can only say that this is the selfish desires in the hearts of some mortals." ”

After the death of this eldest son, Mrs. Wang soon became pregnant with her second child. Later, a boy was born, but the boy was mastered by the master of the Wang family and handed over to the eldest lady to raise. In the next few years, the second lady of the Wang family added several daughters to Master Wang, but as the biological mother of the second son, she must have some resentment towards the eldest lady in her heart. It's just that because of the relationship between the lord of the Wang family and the eldest lady who was his own mother, he couldn't bear it. ”

"What does all this have to do with the new aunt?"

"On the handkerchief that Bai Yu handed me, there are some splash-like things." Xing Ruyi said and walked to the bedside. The futon on the bed was still in a messy state, and on the edge of the pillow near the outside, Xing Ruyi found a dark trace. Immediately, the same splash-like dark brown spots were found on the sheets next to the floor. "These should all be left by the new aunt. I have checked the dregs of medicine that flowed out of Wang's house, and I have also seen the piece of handkerchief that Bai Yu gave me. The death of the new aunt of the Wang family should be related to the fact that she was forced to take abortion/fetal drugs. ”

"Saffron."

"It's not just safflower."

Xing Ruyi squatted beside the bed and carefully examined: "Judging from the traces left at the scene, the new aunt of the Wang family was forcibly poured the abortion/fetal pill after being subdued in her sleep, and after the medicine was in her mouth, she spit it out. That's why these spray-like drug residues form on the bed and on the floor. But what I can't figure out is why the handkerchief of the second lady of the Wang family is also splash-like traces. ”

"Xu is when this new aunt vomited, she covered it with her own handkerchief."

"I've thought about that, but I don't think it's likely. You think, how coincidentally a person must have to form such a visible mark on the other's handkerchief when he vomits. The only possibility is that the second lady of the Wang family covered the mouth and nose of the new aunt with a handkerchief at that time, but because of the new aunt's struggle, those traces were caused. ”

"The suspicion is clear."

"No!"

"No?"

"Although the second lady of the Wang family is only a second lady, over the years, the eldest lady has not cared about the affairs of the Wang family's back house at all because of her own health. Therefore, in the Wang family, it is the second lady who is really in charge.

Being the master of the house does not mean that you will be favored, as far as I know, the lord of the Wang family is true love for the eldest lady. If I were the second lady, I would definitely take advantage of the opportunity of the new aunt to get started, prompting her to compete with the eldest lady for favor, so as to consolidate my position even more. To put it bluntly, I have sons and daughters, and even if my son is inherited under the name of the eldest lady, he is still his own. And most of the children have reached adulthood, and my position in the Wang family is already indestructible. Even if my new aunt gave birth to a son, she would not be above me. At this time, it is the right topic to win over the new aunt against the eldest lady. After the eldest lady falls out of favor, it is also very easy to find a chance to deal with the new aunt. ”

"This second lady of the Wang family may not be as smart as you."

"You're wrong. I happen to think that this second lady is more scheming than me. How can an ordinary woman endure so many years in this deep mansion compound. In other words, since these two ladies have endured for so many years, why can't they hold their breath when it comes to dealing with their new aunt.

And then there's the problem we just assumed. According to the status of the second lady in the Wang family, if she really wants to deal with this new aunt, she doesn't need to do it herself. Tying up, pouring medicine, covering their mouths, these maids can do it for them. She is the second lady, why should she do it herself, if she leaves evidence, it will not be very bad for herself. It is impossible for a woman who knows how to forbear for many years to make such a mistake. ”

"Madame has a point."

"So, what do you think?"

"Listen to your wife for your husband." The fox raised his hand and provoked Xingruyi to purse his lips and smile.

"I'm going to seal something. The soul of this new aunt was trapped by Bai Yu before, and I guess it is somewhere in this mansion. After a hard trip, Lao Fujun found her. What is the truth, we will know as soon as we ask. ”

"Good. Madame and wait here. ”

"Well, let's go, let's go. It just so happens that I'm tired too, so I'll take a break here. Xing Ruyi said, waving his hand.

The fox spun around and disappeared into the room.

Xing Ruyi walked to the table and sat down. After staying for a while, I felt a little bored, so I picked up the cup on the table and started to play.

Suddenly, she saw something. It was some powder, and it was stained on the bottom of the cup. The color of the powder is so similar to the color of the cup itself that it is impossible to see unless you look closely.

"It's such a vicious intention, this is a deliberate intention not to let the new aunt live." Xing Ruyi dipped a little powder in his finger and put it to his nose to smell it. This is an extremely rare neurological drug that can cause hallucinations and, in severe cases, even suicide or death due to a sudden accident.

Xing Ruyi looked at the cup, and then at the teapot that was placed aside. Suddenly I understood. The reason why they give these inferior tea leaves to the new aunt is not because they deliberately embarrass these new aunts, nor do they deliberately look down on her, but because these inferior defective tea leaves have a stronger taste and can better cover up the smell of these drugs themselves.

When the new aunt first entered the Wang family, even if she was unwilling, she could only drink these inferior tea leaves without more choices. As time goes by, these medicinal ingredients will penetrate deep into the bone marrow, and when the time comes, not to mention that it is a miracle doctor, even the gods will not be able to save it.

Now, there's a new problem.

If the second lady of the Wang family forced the new aunt to drink the abortion pill, then who put these poisons in the new aunt's teacup? If it was all done by the second lady, wouldn't it be a bit of a contradiction?

She shook the cup in her hand slightly, and her afterglow moved inch by inch around the room. She stopped when her gaze fell on the painting on the opposite wall.

It was a picture of a lady traveling, and it looked like a large family, but one of them caught Xing Ruyi's attention. The maid had her back to Xing Ruyi, and her posture was a little strange and out of place with the whole picture, as if she had been forced to be stuffed in.

Just as Xing Ruyi got up and wanted to go to the front of the painting to take a closer look, the fox returned.

"Are you sure that the soul of the new aunt is still in the Wang family?"

"Didn't find it?"

"Nope!"

"I think I might have found it." Xing Ruyi said, pointing to the painting opposite: "You help me take a look at whether the woman in the painting is the new aunt of the Wang family who has been sealed in." ”
