Chapter 648: Calamity

"Then how did Mingxue and Aunt Yan'er die?" Chu Yuqin asked.

Ling Shengyi frowned: "Ming Xue originally knew that Aunt Zhu and Grandma Zhu were cheating on Wang Yixian. If it was just because of this incident, she wouldn't have died, but she bumped into Aunt Zhu's grandmother and another detail, and overheard what they were discussing.

Aunt Zhu first appeased her, and then put chronic poison in her rouge gouache, which made Mingxue's mind more and more unclear. As for drowning in the water, it was because Mingxue couldn't stand Zhang Fangsheng's abuse and wanted to threaten Aunt Zhu's grandmother to save her. Aunt Zhu's grandmother lost control for a while and gave her a large amount of medicine, and after the person died, she was thrown into the water. ”

"As for the smoke...... That has to do with what Aunt Zhu's grandmother discussed with another person. They discussed poisoning their father. Yan'er bumped into Aunt Zhu's grandmother poisoning, so she died first. And because of the smoke and the grass and the snake, Aunt Zhu and Grandma have not had time to poison it. The matter was delayed. ”

"So the person who Yan'er is waiting in the room is Aunt Zhu's grandmother, not a man?" Chu Yuqin said.

"I don't understand that either. If it was Aunt Zhu's grandmother, how could Yan'er be dressed up so exquisitely? Ling Shengyi said: "It seems that there are still details that have not been tried. ”

"Don't think about that yet. You're tired too, go take a bath! Chu Yuqin hugged his neck. I'll give you another massage to relieve your fatigue. ”

"Fortunately, there is a lady who feels sorry for me. With your words, you are willing to be tired no matter how tired. Ling Shengyi pecked Chu Yuqin's small mouth. I'll go take a bath, you go to sleep first. ”

Chu Yuqin got up from his body.

When Ling Shengyi came back from the bath, Chu Yuqin was reading the account book on the bed.

"Didn't you go to sleep first?" Ling Shengyi saw that she was not asleep and said.

"I'll give you a press when I say I'm going to give it to you. Come here! Chu Yuqin beckoned. I haven't pressed it for too long, and the craftsmanship is rusty. Now that I don't serve others, but only you, are you still afraid that I will be tired? ”

Ling Shengyi walked over: "Then I have to enjoy it." ”

"Others don't have this blessing if they want to enjoy it, and they will push back you from enjoying it." Chu Yuqin asked him to lie down.

Ling Shengyi lay there with his arms on the pillow.

Chu Yuqin first moved his wrists, then applied the prepared essential oil to the palm of his hand to heat up, and then massaged him.

"Did anything happen in the house today?" Ling Shengyi said.

"Did someone tell you?" Chu Yuqin spoke. "Isn't it a matter of time before Zhao Mansion comes to make a big fuss? What's so strange about this? ”

"You weren't bullied by them, were you?" Ling Shengyi wanted to look back at her, but was pressed back by Chu Yuqin.

Chu Yuqin said while pressing: "Do I seem to be so easy to bully?" ”

"Of course not." Ling Shengyi smiled. "How can my wife be bullied? It's good that you don't bully others. ”

"The Zhao family made a big fuss, and invited Mrs. Taifu to be a matchmaker, and your little brother's family affairs were settled in this way." Chu Yuqin was in schadenfreude. "Your stepmother is so sorry that her bowels are blue. Originally, Zhao Yufei and Chen Zhen'er were arranged to come over to block us, but it turned out to be her turn to block us. The status of the Zhao family is not high, and she can't help her son, where can she look at it? ”

"Who's going to arrange this wedding reception?" Ling Shengyi suddenly asked where he was critical.

"They're doing what they want. However, I will not suffer this loss. Rest assured. Your lady's money is not so easy to deceive. Chu Yuqin said. Be careful during this time. I'm always worried that the case you're looking into will cause us trouble. ”

"Don't worry. As long as I think that you are waiting for me at home, I will not let myself risk it. Something like last time won't happen again. Ling Shengyi said, "Tired, right? ”

"Not tired." Chu Yuqin continued to press. "You flip it over, and I'll press the front again."

Ling Shengyi turned over.

Chu Yuqin was about to pour the essential oil, but was grabbed by Ling Shengyi's wrist.

"I thought of a great way to get a massage."

Chu Yuqin was suppressed by him.

"Don't make a fuss. I still have essential oils in my hand! "It's slimy, it's uncomfortable to die.

Ling Shengyi took off her clothes and wiped the essential oil on the palm of her hand.

"Isn't it better now?"

"It's not...... That's not the point...... Woohoo......"

It's late at night.

The chirping of insects drowned out the shy voice.

That's it. Ling Shengyi looked at Chu Yuqin, who was so tired that he fell asleep, and kissed her on the cheek: "I will deal with this matter earlier, so as not to worry you." ”

On the second day, Chu Yuqin just had breakfast and met Mama Fang.

Mama Fang sent a dowry list.

Chu Yuqin looked at it and said, "Mama, the things on this list are quite complete." I didn't expect my mother to have so many treasures in her hands. ”

Mama Fang said respectfully: "If you return to Mrs. Shizi, Mrs. Guo doesn't have too many things. What she meant was to ask Mrs. Shizi to come forward and do it. ”

"I buy? I'm afraid this vase on the list will cost a thousand taels, right? There is also this "Lotusless Picture", which has been extinct for a long time. Where do I go to find it? Even if you can find it, it's worth a lot. According to my estimates, the total value of the items on the dowry list is more than 10,000 taels of silver. Now our Lingguo Mansion is an empty shell, where can we get so much silver? Otherwise, I'll go and talk to my father. Maybe my father can squeeze a little out of his hand. Chu Yuqin said: "The silver that my father withdraws every month is five thousand taels. If he saves a little, it's not impossible. ”

"However, Grandpa Guo has a lot of entertainment, how can he not use silver?" When Mama Fang heard Chu Yuqin say this, she suddenly felt bad.

However, the Duchess of the Kingdom made it clear that she wanted her to take a favor from the Lady of the Prince, but the Lady of the Prince was clearly unwilling to give this benefit. Why is she, a subordinate, in a dilemma?

"Mama." Chu Yuqin looked at her guiltily. "I'm sorry. There is really no way for the family to come up with so much silver. Or that sentence, why don't you talk to your father? ”

"Mrs. Shizi, don't embarrass the old slave." Mama Fang's face was full of embarrassment.

"I don't embarrass you, but you embarrass me. This matter is not negotiable. Chu Yuqin said with a cold face: "Mother asked, you just tell the truth." ”

Mama Fang couldn't persuade Chu Yuqin when she saw that her old face didn't have such a big face, so she had to give up.

"The old slave retired." Mama Fang withdrew.

After Mama Fang left, Qiu Yin said, "Madam, the Duchess of the Kingdom must have a trick." ”

"I know." Chu Yuqin said lightly: "Then let's see what tricks she has next!" ”

When Duchess Ling Guo heard Mama Fang's report, she really lost her temper. However, after cursing twice, Duchess Ling Guo calmed down again. After all, she had expected this to be the outcome.
