Chapter Twenty-Three: The Poisoned Veil

Jinzhu came out of the Lin family's courtyard, it was already late at night, and Kankan returned to the courtyard before the courtyard was closed.

Now her every move, there is a pair of eyes staring, and as soon as she returns to the courtyard, someone will report to Gu Xiwu.

After listening to what the maid said, Gu Xiwu was not surprised, because of Gu Miaoxuan's marriage before, the Lin family had forgotten her, and now that it was empty, how could the Lin family, who had always regarded her as a thorn in her side, let her go?

"Keep watching, and be sure to report her next move to me." Gu Xiwu commanded.

"Yes!" The maid withdrew from the house and closed the door.

Aunt Su on the side immediately came up the mountain, her face was full of worry, "Miss, how can you not just drive people out, it is not a long-term solution to prevent it like this!" ”

"Be careful, if you really give her a chance to do it, I'll be on guard." Gu Xiwu raised her eyes and swept lightly over the maid who hadn't said a few words since she entered the house, and continued to speak, "If you drive her out, the Lin family will have to find a way to send people in, which is also troublesome, so it's better to look at people under your nose." ”

Aunt Su also knows this reason, but Jinzhu has been in the yard for a day, and her heart has always been hanging.

Seeing that Gu Xiwu's face showed tiredness, she served her to sleep, blew out the candles in the room, and then retreated.

Jinzhu held the small porcelain vase in his hand, and if he ignored the panicked look in his eyes, he would be as calm as usual.

"Jinzhu, aren't you worth today?" A maid saw Jinzhu hurriedly walking to the back kitchen and asked.

Jinzhu paused, turned around and replied with a smile on his face: "I changed with An An today, and I should be on duty tomorrow." After saying that, he hurriedly ran away.

The maid looked puzzled, didn't An An leave the house today?

Jinzhu hurried all the way to the back kitchen and called out the bribed cook.

"Oh, Miss Jinzhu, the kitchen is busy! What's the matter with you? If it were the same as the last time, I wouldn't dare! The cook was sweating profusely, and her face was full of anxiety.

"Naturally not, this time I just need to help send a plate to the second lady's courtyard, or a spoon!" This is the method that Jinzhu thought about all night.

Now the second lady is on guard against her, even the food she serves will no longer touch it, this is the only way she can think of now, and the only way to make the second miss eat.

The cook showed a look of embarrassment on her face, the greed in her eyes flashed, and she smiled, "Girl, it's not that I don't help you, it's just that the girl also knows that the kitchen is the busiest at this time......"

Jinzhu was indignant in his heart, and secretly suppressed this breath, this cook's appetite is too big, but this partial life is the last time!

Gritting his teeth, Jinzhu took off the pearl earrings and handed them over with heartache.

"This is already the most valuable thing around me, and I should know how to stop in moderation!" Jinzhu suppressed his anger, almost spitting words out between his teeth.

The cook's eyes lit up, and she reached out and snatched the pearl earrings from Jinzhu's hand, and she didn't care very much, where could the people around the second lady see such a little thing, casually leaking out of the second lady's fingers, where is it only worth this!

"Thank you, girl! I'll go, and the girl will wait on the side! The cook put the things in her arms and rushed back to the back kitchen.

Jinzhu waited anxiously while paying attention to his surroundings.

After a while, the cook ran out again.

"Where's the stuff?" Jinzhu hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

The cook cautiously confirmed that there was no one around, and then took out a plate from her arms.

Jinzhu immediately took it, let the cook continue to let the wind out, holding the porcelain bottle in one hand, uncovering the lid, I wanted to dip a drop on the plate, but I didn't want to shake my hand, poured out a piece, and was so shocked that I almost screamed.

After stabilizing his mind, he took the poison-soaked handkerchief and carefully smeared it on the center of the plate.

"Jinzhu girl, are you alright?" The cook wanted to see what she was doing, but her body blocked the movement of her hands, and she couldn't see it at all.

"Alright, that's it!" Jinzhu also sweated, dried the poison, and waited until it couldn't be seen, so he handed it to the cook behind him and asked her to put it back.

Leaving the back kitchen, Jinzhu deliberately circled most of the house, walked to a secluded place, dropped the handkerchief casually, and left in a hurry.

……

Gu Xiwu shook the pen's hand for a moment, "Jinzhu went to the back kitchen?" I know, step down! ”

The maid didn't move, Gu Xiwu saw that the maid didn't go down, she was still on the side, and simply put the pen down, "But there is still something to report?" ”

The maid put the things she had been holding in her hand on Gu Xiwu's table, and when she saw her reaching out to touch it, she hurriedly stopped it, "Miss, this may be poison, so it's better not to touch it!" ”

Sure enough, Gu Xiwu's hand was stunned.

The maid under Gu Feng's reward strode forward, took out a clean handkerchief from her arms, picked it up through the handkerchief, put it under her nose and sniffed it gently.

Suddenly, his expression changed, his face was full of caution, and he nodded towards Gu Xiwu.

It's poison indeed, but it's probably still poisonous!

Let the maid be silent, go down first, and after a while, it was time to eat, and Cai Yin walked in with a food box.

Gu Xiwu sat at the table, waiting for Cai Yin to take out the dishes from the food box one by one, and after placing them, she handed over a pair of chopsticks.

Taking the chopsticks, Gu Xiwu didn't rush to move the chopsticks, but somehow suddenly looked out of the door, Jinzhu immediately lowered his head in shock, and hurried over with a bucket.

"Today's dish is good, there are bamboo shoots, the weather has been getting cooler recently, this bamboo shoots should be gone, right?" Gu Xiwu's face was as usual, she put a chopstick into the bowl and handed it to the maid behind her to investigate.

Shook his head, not this.

Immediately afterwards, the other two dishes also took a chopstick and handed it over one after another.

"Miss's body should not eat too greasy things, but you can eat more vegetarian dishes." The maid handed over a look, and Gu Xiwu immediately understood.

"But how many chopsticks do you have?" Gu Xiwu asked Cai Yin on the side.

Cai Yin immediately went to the small kitchen to get a new pair of chopsticks and handed them to her.

Miss has always had her own reasons for doing things, not much to say, not to ask, and she has always explained, Cai Yin just stood quietly aside.

After Jinzhu poured the water, she hurriedly ran back to the yard, her heart was hanging, she didn't see the second lady eat it with her own eyes, she couldn't let go of her heart!

So, when she hid by the wall and watched Gu Xiwu keep holding the dishes with chopsticks, almost the whole person relaxed, returned to the house, and lay down on the bed.

Anyway, after today, she won't have to do this menial work in the future!.

When she was sandwiching vegetables before, the last dish was the one with ingredients, so the other two plates of vegetarian dishes, especially bamboo shoots, she was particularly relieved to eat.

When she felt full, Gu Xiwu put down the chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth with the handkerchief, asked Cai Yin to clean up the table, and gave another command, "Throw the dishes away, don't let anyone get their hands dirty, and don't send them back to the back kitchen for them to deal with, just find a place to bury them, it's up to you, be careful not to let people see it!" ”

"Yes, Miss!" Cai Yin nodded, waited to take the food on the table back to the food box, took it and left.

After a while, thinking that the Lin family was still in the courtyard at this time, Gu Xiwu remembered that she hadn't been to ask for peace for a long time, and while asking Cai Yin to help her make up, she asked Aunt Su to call Jinzhu over, and she wanted to take her with her.

Jinzhu was still lying in bed resting, and he didn't sleep well all night last night, and it was the time to sleep soundly.

was pulled out of the quilt by someone, and said angrily: "Who! Disturb this girl's sleep, do you know, I'm the ...... of the future"

Seeing the other party's face clearly, Jinzhu immediately died down and swallowed the words behind him.

"I don't care what your identity is in the future, at least you are still a slave now, hurry up and put on your clothes, Miss will take you to give the second lady safety, don't waste time!"

Aunt Su said coldly, ignoring the shocked expression on Jinzhu's face, she picked up the clothes on the side and threw them over to her.

Hurriedly getting dressed, Jinzhu followed behind Aunt Su, with a look of surprise, and when she saw the living Gu Xiwu, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

With Jinzhu, Gu Xiwu came all the way to the Lin family's courtyard, said hello to her, and sat down on the side of the seat.

"The second lady's face looks good, I think it's Xuan'er's sister's marriage, it's very satisfying." Gu Xiwu thought about it for a long time, and found that there were almost no topics that the two could talk about, so she started Gu Miaoxuan's marriage.

The Lin family didn't even bother to hide it in front of Gu Xiwu, and his eyes were about to disappear with a smile, "This is also in front of the second young lady, I will tell you, King Ping, I am very happy with Xuan'er, even if others are afraid that there is no room for interference, this posture, Xuan'er will probably be able to conceive soon!" ”

Gu Xiwu smiled perfunctorily, she didn't come here to find herself uncomfortable.

"Oh, that second lady wants to accumulate some virtue for your future grandson, and take the things in the open and in the dark, but you have to do less!" Gu Xiwu looked like he was thinking about the Lin family.

Lin's face instantly collapsed, "What do you mean by what Second Miss said this?" ”

"There are some things, the second lady should not say it too clearly, so as not to be embarrassed. Oops, there seems to be something dirty on the cup of the second lady, I'll wipe it clean for you! ”

Gu Xiwu was startled, took out a clean handkerchief from his arms, put it on the tea cup in front of Lin, carefully wiped it along the wall of the cup, and smiled with great satisfaction, persuading Lin to drink tea.

Seeing that Gu Xiwu was a little abnormal today, the Lin family first came to talk to her, and then suddenly offered courtesy, which was completely confusing.

On the side, Jinzhu, who saw it completely clearly, had a white face, and when he saw that the Lin family really picked up the teacup, he was about to meet it.

No! Poisonous! ”

Lin hurriedly threw the teacup on the ground, and the scene just now flashed quickly in his mind, there was something wrong with the handkerchief!
