Chapter 16 The Vegetable Seedlings Wilt
It was not good to discuss her master in private, and the woman kept her mouth shut.
Wen Qiao and Wen Zichen were busy for an hour, and finally grinded well. Wen Qiao exercises all year round, and this work is not difficult for him, but the little radish head on one side is tired and out of breath. Zhao Qingyan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"Tired, aren't you? Sit there and rest for a while, and then you will have some pastries to eat. ”
"Thank you, mother." The child's voice was soft, and Zhao Qingyan touched his head with a smile.
"I'm sweating too." The man's voice suddenly came from behind him, Zhao Qingyan was startled, stared back at the apricot eyes, and saw that Wen Qiao's forehead was also covered with a layer of sweat. Zhao Qingyan threw the handkerchief in his hand onto Wen Qiao's body.
"Wipe it yourself, I've got other things to do."
Wen Zichen blinked his eyes and looked at his father who was clutching his handkerchief tightly, "Daddy, my mother doesn't seem to like you very much." ”
Wen Qiao stretched out his hand and rubbed the child's hair vigorously, "Adults, children, don't care." After Wen Qiao finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Qingyan's busy background, and couldn't help sighing, and sighed in his heart, the dignified son of the world had fallen to this point for two bites of food.
However, Zhao Qingyan's craftsmanship never disappointed him, and after a while, the aroma of pastries filled the courtyard, Wen Zichen sniffed, "Daddy, the pastries are good, they are so fragrant." ”
Wen Qiao looked at the source of the aroma when he heard this, and swallowed his saliva, while disgusting himself in his heart. He got up and helped Zhao Qingyan take the pastry out of the pot, "Don't think about it, I'm just afraid that you will be clumsy and drop the pastry on the ground, Wen Zichen will definitely be disappointed." ”
"Heh......" Zhao Qingyan sneered, "Shizi, I will never have any thoughts about you, don't worry." After speaking, Zhao Qingyan regarded Wen Qiao as a transparent person. Wen Qiao was very annoyed when he heard this, with his identity, how many people dared to speak to him like this? That is, the woman in front of her, who was blowing pastries, became more and more bold.
"Daddy, come and eat together." The soft voice came, recalling Wen Qiao's thoughts.
The aroma of the pastry made him feast, Wen Qiao touched his stomach with satisfaction, and glanced at Zhao Qingyan with appreciation.
When Zhao Qingyan saw his satisfied look, he knew that this pastry was very much in line with his appetite. She got up and packed a box of pastries and handed it to Wen Qiao, after all, Wen Qiao is also her "food and clothing parent".
"You know each other." Wen Qiao took the pastry in a good mood and left.
After the people left, Zhao Qingyan had nothing to do and began to study the recipe. In front of the clean stove, Zhao Qingyan's slender fingers stirred the eggs, thinking about what to eat. But soon her train of thought was disrupted.
"The princess is not good, something happened."
Seeing the anxious expression of his subordinates, Zhao Qingyan chuckled in his heart, and a bad premonition surged from his heart.
"What's wrong?"
"Princess, you can go to the vegetable field and see for yourself......" the servant said and lowered his head. Zhao Qingyan forced himself to calm down and came to the vegetable field. Only then did I find that all the vegetable seedlings in the vegetable field withered, and none of them were spared. The people felt the low pressure, and all of them stood silent, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere. Zhao Qingyan looked at the vegetable field and pondered, thinking about what went wrong in the link, or whether someone wanted to harm her.
"What's going on?" After a while, Zhao Qingyan spoke, and the subordinate who had just informed her stood up, "The princess, it should be too much fertilizer and burned the vegetable seedlings to death." ”
Zhao Qingyan did not laugh angrily, she personally supervised the fertilization of the vegetable field, and it was obtained in strict accordance with the specifications, which would definitely not lead to the burning of vegetable seedlings. In this case, someone must be behind it. Zhao Qingyan looked around at these subordinates, and the powerful aura made some subordinates bury their heads deeply.
"You can't go wrong with fertilizing what I'm asking you to. One of you must be doing the trick! ”
As soon as the words fell, the subordinates had different thoughts, some thought who was so vicious, some simply regretted these vegetable seedlings, and some thought that the princess's own plan was wrong and wanted to blame the next person.
"Have any of you noticed anything unusual in the garden lately? What strange people have appeared lately? Zhao Qingyan asked while observing everyone's facial expressions. When the people heard the princess ask this, they said in a gossipy manner:
"No, it's been normal lately."
"Yes, I take care of the vegetable patch every day according to the requirements of the princess."
"I didn't find any strange people, the big guys were very dutiful."
……
A bunch of useless words kept pouring into Zhao Qingyan's ears, she rubbed her temples in annoyance, and suddenly found that a woman was in a hurry in the crowd, her hands were constantly twisting the corners of her clothes, and her face was red. Zhao Qingyan knew in his heart that this person probably knew something but didn't dare to say it. And she looks nervous, she must not have the courage to harm others, even if she does something bad, she will definitely be recruited in a few words.
"Okay, you all go down, this matter will be settled slowly." Zhao Qingyan waved his hand, signaled that everyone had dispersed, and turned around and went back to the room.
The woman didn't dare to say what she knew, and Zhao Qingyan also understood, after all, the person who wanted to harm herself was definitely not something that she dared to provoke. If you say the wrong thing, you may end up ruining your family, and in this case, there are not a few people who choose more than less. But at present, if you want to investigate the truth of the matter, you can only start with her.
Zhao Qingyan sighed, "Let Lixia come to my room." ”
Lixia is a person sent by Wen Qiao, and he is still more trustworthy than other subordinates.
"Princess Shizi, you look for me." Lixia bowed respectfully.
Zhao Qingyan put down the teacup in his hand and roughly described the appearance and characteristics of the woman who was in a hurry at that time, "Do you know this person? ”
"Yes."
"Help me investigate the details of that man, the sooner the better."
"Yes." Lixia has served his master for many years, and he knows that there are some things that he can't ask more, so he quickly went to investigate after receiving the task. Two hours later, Lixia brought back the news, and Zhao Qingyan admired her efficiency.
"That woman's name is Liu Rong, everyone calls her Sister Liu, Xianggong died seven years ago, and there are still elderly parents and a seriously ill son at home."
"Seriously ill?"
Lixia nodded, "Yes, I've been sick for several years, and I haven't had the money to heal me. Recently, Sister Liu helped the princess take care of the vegetable garden, so she had some spare money to catch him a few doses of medicine. ”
Zhao Qingyan got the information he wanted, and gave Lixia a reward without hesitation, "It's good, go down first, and help me call Liu Rong over." ”
Liu Rong knew that Zhao Qingyan was looking for her, and she panicked for a while, she carefully found Zhao Qingyan, and she didn't dare to raise her head.
"The ...... of the Princess"
"I can help your son with his illness."
"On the condition that you tell me everything you know." Before Liu Rong finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zhao Qingyan. "I promise not to let anyone know it's you."
Zhao Rong's face was a little hesitant, and Zhao Qingyan spoke again, "You don't want your son's illness to drag on, do you?" Don't miss the opportunity, the time will not come again, I will only give you one chance, I am discussing with you now, so you can still negotiate the conditions. ”
"It's Xiaozhu. I saw Xiaozhu sneaking around the vegetable patch. ”
