On the day when Chungui was invited to Zhou's house, because he had exchanged Geng posts, he didn't bring Lan Xin with him - this is what Lan Ting meant, before the official acceptance, don't let the two of them meet again, in case Lan Xin is just a temporary brain fever, and it doesn't take long to regret it, there is still room to turn around, so as not to meet frequently, so that Lan Xin has been brain hot, and there is no time to calm down and carefully consider whether the other party is in tune with him.

Although Zhou Xiaolang passed the test of Lan Ting, after all, the brother-in-law looked at his sister-in-law and was somewhat nitpicky.

And this day, the Zhou family returned to the Wu Palace, changed into the half-used skirt that he often wears, and rested on the soft couch, and saw the ditch coming in through the wall, with an anxious face, but there was no squeak for a long time.

Chun Gui did not destroy her, but closed her eyes slightly and began to close her eyes to recuperate.

It wasn't until Qu Chu finally made up his mind and stepped forward to say something.

Chungui opened his eyes: "You said that the second sister wants to poison me?" ”

"That's exactly what she wants to do."

Chungui didn't speak.

But she naturally didn't have the leisure to close her eyes and recuperate, and moved to the window to look out of the window.

After a few rainy infiltrations, the fragrant flowers have fallen full of green branches, the wind is fragrant, wandering in the garden, the season in the south of the Yangtze River has not turned cool so quickly, so that the fragrance of this flower seems to be a little depressed, not so refreshing and pleasant.

Chun Gui suddenly remembered that about half a month ago, when Lan Ting finally had a few days to spare, they went back to the Jinling clan residence.

The Zhaomen people mostly live in Jurong, Xuan Zhutang also retains the clan field and the old house in the clan residence, and arranges for the family servants to take care of it in the clan, she lives in the old house with Lan Ting in those days, and occasionally drinks and talks with Lan Xin, Chun Hui can clearly feel the changes in Lan Xin, although she still doesn't like to be close to the girls in the clan, but she is no longer as arrogant as when she was in the Taishifu, she will take the poem to Lan Ting with great expectations, and she can also listen to her own corrections. That's how they look like normal brothers and sisters.

But in the blink of an eye, it happened again.

Who exactly doesn't let go of whom.

When the Hui people lived, they also saw the second aunt Peng, and Chun Hui remembered that even Peng was lamenting the changes in Lan Xin, and Peng also said that Lan Xin's heart was not bad, and it was blamed on being taught bad by the old lady since childhood.

Chun Gui stood in the window, watching Lan Xin and Zang Dan come over one after the other.

Lan Xin saluted respectfully and said Wanfu, there was a layer of shiny thin sweat on her forehead, as if it was soaked so that her eyes were a little brighter than usual, she was still a little restrained, and motioned to Zangdan to open the carved lacquer lid of the food box, and took out a plate of emerald pastries from it, and cut it into thick diamond slices very carefully, which looked very exquisite.

"I made the peach cake myself." Lan Xin was a little anxious, and seemed to be a little shy.

"The second sister cooks herself? That's a rarity. "Spring returns.

Zang Dan said: "The second girl heard that the eldest grandmother was invited to Zhou's house today, and after lunch, she informed Tao Cairen and requisitioned the kitchen of the inner garden, but this walnut was entrusted to the Li family uncle to go to the market early in the morning to buy fresh fruits, and the second girl wanted to borrow this refreshment to thank the eldest grandmother for a busy time for the second girl." ”

gotta pull her eldest cousin down this muddy water.

"I've never heard that my second sister can make refreshments." Of course, Chungui will not taste this plate of pastries that are said to be highly poisonous.

"It was originally a suggestion of Tibetan Dan, and it was mainly steamed by hand, and I just mixed bee pulp juice into it." Lan Xin seems to be extremely honest and not alone

Accounts for "credit".

"The second sister has worked hard, the second sister should taste it first." Chun Gui gently pushed the white porcelain plate towards Lan Xin.

Lan Xin really wanted to taste the products of her first cooking, and when she really picked up a piece of it, she was about to put it in her mouth......

Chun Gui seemed to have a casual glance, but because of this glance, he firmly captured the resentment in Zangdan's eyes.

"Wait." Chungui grabbed Lan Xin's wrist: "Tibetan Dan is even harder, the second sister should let Zang Dan taste it first." ”

Lan Xin was finally stunned.

And Zangdan's expression has changed drastically.

"Take a silver needle and test for poison." Chungui said coldly, it was an order to the maidservant.

Lan Xin's wrist trembled, and the emerald walnut cake fell on the table.

"No need to take the silver needle." Zangdan knelt on the ground: "The slave and maid confessed, and the slave and maid obeyed the instructions of the second girl and fell arsenic/frost in the walnut cake!" ”

At this time, it was Qingping and Ju Xi who were serving in the spring return house, as soon as they heard Zangdan's words, the two maids were expressions, Qingping was obviously much calmer, and told the waiting order outside the house to take the high to fetch water to let Lan Xin clean her hands, but she herself ran straight out, Qing Shui cleaned her hands is not safe, and she needs to let Qiao Zhuang immediately prepare an antidote to ensure that the residual poison on the hands of the second girl is cleaned, and Ju Xi is frizzy, and she took the plate of walnut cake away in one fell swoop, and accused Lan Xin with her eyebrows: "The second girl is really a femme fatale!" Grandma works so hard for you, you actually intend to poison grandma, I have never seen such a vicious person as you! ”

"It's not me!" Lan Xin had already stood up, stared at Zang Dan blankly for a while, and then turned her head to stare at Chun Gui: "If it's not me, how could I poison my sister-in-law?" ”

"The second girl doesn't care about the Zhou family at all, and from the very beginning, she wanted to ruin the marriage of the second girl Li, and the second girl hated the second girl Li because of her grandmother! That's why the second girl told the slave maid to come to the grandmother to complain, in order to break the matter and humiliate the second girl Li! The second girl is a fellow mother with the uncle, and she expects that the uncle will only punish her this time, and if the grandmother disagrees with the uncle, the second girl is happy to see it.

What the second girl didn't expect was that the eldest grandmother did not punish her severely, and even wasted her heart to promote this marriage, the second girl couldn't say her bitterness, and she was even more reluctant to marry the Zhou family, so she gave birth to this poisonous plan, if the eldest grandmother ate this dish of poisonous cake today, the second girl could blame the Li family uncle, and framed the Li family uncle because the grandmother broke the marriage of the second girl Li and held a grudge, and used the hands of the second girl to kill two birds with one stone! ”

Zang Dan explained Zhao Lanxin's motives clearly.

Qu Chu also helped on the side: "I did hear that the second girl was discussing with Zangdan like this. ”

"What does the second sister have to say?" Chungui's face is expressionless, and his mood is not revealed.

"It's Zangdan spewing people in the mouth of blood!" Lan Xin's eyes were red: "I haven't done anything, I'm really happy...... Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law knows that Zangdan will not condone me in the past, she clearly also repeatedly admonished me not to disrespect my sister-in-law, because of this, I was disgusted with Zangdan, it was my sister-in-law who insisted on letting Zangdan return to serve me, in my opinion, she is simply my sister-in-law's henchman, I have these sinister intentions, how can I make her do such a thing? ”

"Everything is an illusion, the second girl told the slave to act like this in order to win the trust of the grandmother, the second girl has never hated the slave and the maid, and the second girl has always been a slave and a confidant! Otherwise, this time, the slave and maid would not be able to come to Jinling with the permission of the grandmother. "Zangdan Dao.

"If you are really my confidant, why are you giving me up at this time? You clearly want to get married

Woe to me! ”

"The second girl's poisonous plan has obviously been discovered by the eldest grandmother, and the slave confesses truthfully for self-protection!"

"You ......"

Lan Xin only felt speechless, and the surging anger made her raise her arms at Zangdan, but she didn't fall for a long time.

"I see." Lan Xin lowered his hand in a dejected manner: "You are scheming, you have been scheming for so many years, you left you to serve by your side in order to gain my trust, and you even said that your sister Zhu deserved to die...... You hate me for killing your sister, so that one day, you want to frame me and put me to death to avenge your sister's blood hatred! ”

Chungui clearly saw the stumbling under the feet of the canal, and seemed to be staring at Zangdan in disbelief.

"Second sister, I believe in your defense, now you tell me, how do you want to deal with Zangdan."

Lan Xin didn't squeak for a long time, she squatted down and buried her face in her arms for a long time.

"Grandma, what the slave said......"

"I won't believe your side of the word, and then judge the second sister guilty, Zangdan, you should know that this matter can only be the culprit of you, if you confess your guilt, thinking that it has not caused any evil consequences, maybe there is a glimmer of life." Chungui looked at Zang Dan coldly: "If you insist that you are instructed by the second sister, no one can save you, and if the Taishi Mansion does not kill the slaves and maids privately, it will send you to the official to be punished, and you will only have a dead end." ”

These words finally made Zangdan collapse.

She held the ground with her hands, and it took a few bouts to barely stand up, and there was no pleading on her face, but it was full of sarcasm, and she snorted a few times: "Don't kill slaves and maids? So how did my sister die? Accidental overboard? If Zhao Lanxin hadn't punished her for standing barefoot in the snow and forcing her to walk back along the snow barefoot, how could she fall into the water? I thought that the eldest grandmother was at least different from those people, I thought that the uncle and grandmother were at least not as vicious as Zhao Lanxin, I was stupid, you people are the same, in your eyes, slaves and maids are not human beings at all, they are as cheap as ants and deserve to be trampled to death! ”

Ju Xi also came back to her senses completely at this time, although she was sympathetic to Zang Dan, but she couldn't tolerate Zang Dan's slander of Chungui, and spitted: "There is a debtor and a master, when your sister died, the eldest grandmother had not yet married into the Taishi Mansion, what does it have to do with the eldest grandmother?" You avenged your sister's blood hatred, and even designed to poison innocents, can you be considered a good person? I am a slave like you, but the eldest grandmother has never treated me harshly, why do you accuse the eldest grandmother? ”

"But I only have one sister!" Zang Dan raised his hand and clenched his chest: "My father and mother died, my sister and I were sold into slavery, originally I was going to be sold to a brothel by my teeth, it was my sister who broke her head to ask people to change her mind, and it was also my sister who begged hard to sell me into the Taishi's Mansion as a maid, I stabbed the leak, it was my sister who was punished on my behalf, my sister was rewarded, even if it was a piece of refreshment, I was asked to eat it first, that day I sent a hand stove to Zhao Lanxin, I was supposed to run errands, it was my sister who felt sorry for me and was afraid that I would be cold, so I rushed to ......

If my sister hadn't been there to protect me, she wouldn't have died, and I was the one who should have died! But when I heard that my sister was punished, I didn't dare to intercede for her, I was too afraid of Zhao Lanxin, after my sister died, I hated myself for being cowardly and cowardly all the time, but what was the use of me regretting it? From that day on, I lived for only one purpose, and that was to avenge my sister! ”

Zang Dan stared at Lan Xin fiercely: "Do you know how many times, when I help you cut melons and fruits, I want to use that dagger to stab you in the chest, I even clean up the hairpin for you, I also want to pierce your eyes, accompany the bed at night, I want to kill you directly!" ”
