Guo Lingnan immediately clasped his arms and nodded: "This poison is not difficult to find, I will prepare it immediately after a while...... Just ask when the eldest lady is going to do it? After all, we don't have much time to stay in Xianyang City. ”

It is now the seventh day of Su Jiudong's stay in Xianyang City, and three of them are used for Guo Lingnan and the secret guards to identify Cui Xu's hidden identity, and there is really not much time left before she promised Wen Yiheng that she would leave for Liyou County after nine days.

"Without further ado, let's do it tonight." The so-called day is better than hitting the day, Su Jiudong really has no time to delay, "Then Hu Sheng and Hu Jiu, when do they usually start drinking and chatting in the backyard?" ”

Guo Lingnan replied: "They probably started at the end of the day, and they drank until about midnight, and then they would disperse. ”

At the end of the day, I drank from about nine o'clock in the evening to about ten o'clock in the evening, which is not a short time but not a long time.

"Okay, then the time will be set at the end of the hour." Su Jiudong nodded, and then arranged: "At the end of the day, you will immediately attack, send the secret guard to disguise themselves and send poisoned wine to Hu Sheng and Hu Jiu, and then go to the room where Miss Cuixu lives to take her out of Hu's house." ”

In ancient times, there was no electricity and mobile phones, and there would not be many entertainment items at night, so the ancients went to bed early.

The end of the time is equivalent to nine o'clock in modern society, and it is almost the time when Hu Sheng and Hu Jiu start drinking, and the people in the house are almost resting, and they will start at this time, neither too early nor too late.

"Do it tonight?" Cui Xu didn't expect the plan to be executed so quickly, and she didn't slow down for a while: "What should the slave do tonight?" ”

"Miss Cuixu doesn't have to do anything." Su Jiudong said in a casual voice: "You don't need to go out again after the end of tonight, just wait for Lingnan and them to pick you up." ”

Cui Xu knew that she really couldn't help much, so she nodded, but her hands trembled involuntarily.

She had never seen murder before she fell into a coma, only through the cold corpses of her husband's family who died, she understood the horror and cruelty of murder, and the thought of her being so close to the murder again tonight made Cui Xu nervous.

Seeing this, Su Jiudong immediately held Cuixu's trembling hands that were clenched into fists, and comforted: "The person was not killed by Miss Cuixu, you don't have to be nervous, when you return to the Hu Mansion, you must not attract attention because you are nervous and afraid, and don't show your feet in front of people." ”

After hearing this, Cui Xu immediately stiffened her body, trying her best to control herself not to be afraid or tremble, so as not to expose flaws and arouse suspicion.

After the plan was discussed, the time for Cuixu to return to the Hu Mansion was approaching, Su Jiudong got up and wanted to send Cuixu, but Guo Lingnan stopped Cuixu and asked: "Miss Cuixu, have you noticed a cook surnamed Shi in the kitchen in the Hu Mansion for a few days?" ”

After Cui Xu stopped and recalled for a while, she shook her head and said: "The slave maid has only just arrived at the Hu Mansion for the eighth or ninth day, and she usually walks around near the account room, and rarely goes to the kitchen, but the kitchen takes the initiative to send a small servant to bring food over." ”

"As for the cook surnamed Shi you asked, the slave maid has not been in contact with it for the time being, and she doesn't know that this person exists."

Guo Lingnan was not disappointed after getting the answer, and continued to maintain a slightly detached smile on his face: "Okay, that's fine...... Today, I have delayed Miss Cuixu's time, and I will escort you back to the Hu Mansion. ”

Cuixu's mind immediately appeared with a small servant walking in front and two secret guards guarding behind, and immediately refused.

"Don't bother Guo Shaoxia, just go back by yourself. If someone escorts the slave or maid back, it will arouse suspicion...... Thank you Guo Shaoxia for your kindness, the slave and maid really want to go back in a hurry, so they won't stay longer. ”

"Wait!" Cui Xu turned around and wanted to leave, Su Jiudong began to open his mouth again, and then glanced at Rumo.

Rumo immediately carried an oily paper bag and a small wooden box into Cui Xu's arms, and said:

"Sister, you have been out for so long today, you can't go back empty-handed to arouse suspicion, this is the four treasures of the study that the eldest lady ordered someone to buy a long time ago, and the box contains a snuff bottle, Sister can take it to the filial piety account room and say it first, just say that it is a thank you gift to him."

Cui Xu took the oiled paper bag with one hand, and took the lid of the small wooden box in Rumo's hand with the other, and sure enough, he saw a beautiful bronze snuff bottle: "Ah! This snuff bottle is also so beautiful! How did you know that Mr. Bookkeeper had a soft spot for snuff bottles? ”

Rumo closed the lid again, stuffed the small wooden box into Cui Xu's arms, and said in a relaxed tone:

"Guo Shaoxia and his brothers, from the thirty servants in the Hu mansion, can identify the transformed sister, how can they not observe that Mr. Bookkeeper likes snuff bottles? It was precisely because of this that the young lady sent the slave maid to buy this snuff bottle. ”

"Sister take this back to honor Mr. Ledger, maybe Mr. Ledger will treat Sister Ah better when he sees Sister Honoring such a beautiful snuff bottle, and he will not beat and scold and drink at will."

Su Jiudong is from modern times, and the relationship between master and servant is not very deep-rooted in his mind, so he has always been a very generous and benevolent master who treats maids and domestic servants, and Rumo has never been reprimanded or scolded by her side.

Su Jiudong's gentle attitude towards servants is very rare in the beauties circle in the capital, so some people say that Su Jiudong does not care about the relationship between master and servant, and actually agrees to serve food with personal maids. Rape Chinese

Su Jiudong didn't care about this, and after Rumo learned about your rumors outside, for the sake of Su Jiudong's reputation, he no longer dared to eat at the same table with Su Jiudong.

It is precisely because of Su Jiudong's foil that Rumo was very worried when he heard Guo Lingnan's report to Su Jiudong and knew that Cuixu was not doing well with Mr. Bookkeeper.

Su Jiudong also noticed this detail, so he ordered Rumo to buy a snuffbox and give it to Cuixu.

Su Jiudong explained: "I originally wanted Miss Cuixu to give the snuffbox to Mr. Bookkeeper, and then Miss Cuixu could have a better time staying in the Hu Mansion." ”

"But now the plan has changed, I just decided to get rid of Hu Sheng and Hu Jiu tonight, it is estimated that Miss Cui Xu will not stay in Hu Mansion after tonight, this snuff bottle, just as Miss Cui Xu before leaving to honor the gift of Mr. Bill."

Cui Xu's eyes were red, and she only felt that her nose was sour, and she sighed at Su Jiudong's righteous mind and intimate preparation.

It can be seen that in this cruel and real world, there are not only bad people like Hu Sheng and Hu Jiu, but also good people like Su Jiudong.

Rumo grabbed Cui Xu's shoulders and gently pushed her out of the private room: "Sister, don't be in a daze, the time is almost up, Sister go back quickly, remember to hide in your room tonight." ”

Rumo went to send Cuixu out, Su Jiudong looked sideways at Guo Lingnan, and said tentatively: "Lingnan, just now you asked Cuixu girl about Chef Shi's question, could it be that the cook is your old acquaintance?" Or that stone chef is beautiful, who do you see? ”

Guo Lingnan is now in the prime of life, and it is not surprising that if he meets a girl who is born beautiful, he will pay attention to him, plus Guo Lingnan is usually silent, but today he took the initiative to ask Cui Xu about Chef Shi, Su Jiudong thought that Guo Lingnan was tempted by Chef Shi.

"I don't know that stone cook." Guo Lingnan immediately frowned, "And that cook is just a middle-aged person, and she is just a little more beautiful and beautiful than others, far less beautiful than the eldest lady." ”

Su Jiudong immediately laughed and said: "If you are more beautiful and beautiful than others, then you are more than just a middle-aged person...... You pay so much attention to the appearance of the chef, and you still say that you have a crush on others? ”

Su Jiudong's words provoked the three secret guards next to him to laugh, but the "protagonist" Guo Lingnan waved his hand again and again and refused to say: "I don't want to have anything to do with that disgusting person......

Guo Lingnan's words aroused Su Jiudong's curiosity: "What disgusting person? Could it be that the stone chef doesn't pay attention to personal hygiene? ”

Rumo, who went to see Cui Xu away, also returned to the private room at this time, and said with a smile: "Who doesn't pay attention to personal hygiene and called the eldest lady to find out?" ”

"There's no one who doesn't pay attention to personal hygiene...... It's the humble position that didn't make it clear just now. Guo Lingnan immediately blushed and explained: "The reason why the humble position asked Miss Cuixu about the stone chef is because the stone chef has a big problem..."

Su Jiudong was in the right mood at this time: "What's the big problem?" ”

Guo Lingnan replied solemnly: "Chef Shi is not a real chef, but a man. ”

Guo Lingnan's answer made Su Jiudong confused: "Huh? It's not a cook, it's a man? But the cook lady is the title of a woman from the cook, and the man is called a cook from the cook. ”

Guo Lingnan immediately explained in more detail: "The stone chef lady is dressed by a man...... That is, the stone kitchen lady was originally a man, and later disguised as a woman and mixed into the Hu Mansion to apply for the kitchen lady. ”

Su Jiudong looked around vigilantly, lowered his voice and asked Guo Lingnan: "How did you know about this?" ”

Guo Lingnan mentioned this, and his originally cold and serious face began to turn red again: "It was discovered by the lowly in the process of identifying Miss Cuixu......"

"The lowly also knew that it was not a gentleman's act to peek at the woman in the bath, but that day, the window of the stone chef was open with a small gap, and the lowly office accidentally saw it...... I saw that the stone chef lady had a woman's delicate face, but she had a man's body and characteristics! ”

It's just that Chef Shi's figure is estimated to be thinner and smaller than that of ordinary men, and she does look more like a woman when she wears clothes.

Su Jiudong immediately thought of a certain country of shemales in modern society, and couldn't help muttering: "Could it be that there have been shemales since ancient times?" ”

Rumo's ears were very pointed, and he immediately asked, "What shemale?" ”

"Nothing... I'm just talking casually. Su Jiudong turned to Guo Lingnan and continued to ask: "Are you sure you see it really, is that Shi Chef Niang really a man?" ”

Guo Lingnan nodded very certainly: "After the stone chef finished bathing, she stuffed a cushion in her clothes to make her chest bulge, coupled with that irrefutable masculine characteristics, there is no doubt that she is indeed a man." ”

Su Jiudong touched his chin and thought, "But a good man, why do you want to lurk in the Hu Mansion and disguise yourself as a woman as a cook?" What's so strange about it? ”
