casually found an excuse to come out, Xianglan thought about the task that Shen Caiyi gave her, and after seeing the Ying gambler, she first frowned and asked, "You are the son of Aunt Ying, the chef of Dongfang Mansion?" ”

It turned out to be someone from the house where his own mother was doing things.

Ying Gambler didn't know what was going on with him, so he smiled carefully: "It's small." I don't know what deal the girl wants to do with me? ”

Xianglan didn't talk much nonsense, put the two ingots of silver on the table, and said lightly: "Here are twenty taels, you bring a bag of things and put them in your mother's, but you can't let your mother know." ”

This posture and these words, the gambler should know what is going on as soon as he hears it.

Someone wants to harm his own mother.

But the twenty taels of silver seemed to be shining in his mind. Ying Gambler also hesitated at this time.

Xianglan only thought that he was not satisfied, so she added another ten taels: "You still have to weigh the amount yourself, don't have a life to enjoy it when the time comes." There are a total of thirty taels here, which is enough for you to pay off your debts and have a surplus. ”

Ying Gambler hurriedly stuffed the silver into his arms, and responded with a smile: "What the girl said, the small one will naturally get things done." ”

Xianglan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, remember to go over later, don't delay." Otherwise, tomorrow, you just wait. ”

The gambling ghost, who was threatened and didn't care, responded to this matter very naturally, and said with a shy smile: "This girl walks slowly." I'm going to deliver something to my mother. ”

The next morning, when Nalan Jin woke up from the collapse of the study, she only felt that her waist was about to break.

Dongfang Yi saw that she was awake and saw that she was uncomfortable, so he lay down with her, and rubbed her waist with one hand.

Nalan Jin thought of the madness of the two of them last night, which inevitably made people blush, held back for a long time, and finally asked, "How did you get drugged last night?" ”

"The next person sent a bowl of soup, but I didn't expect it to be medicated." Dongfang Yi was still a little unhappy when he thought of this, "I thought this was what you ordered your subordinates to do, and I would have thrown it away if I knew it." ”

Nalan Jin lay down for a long time, feeling that it was almost over, and it would be a joke if it was too late, so she got up and went back to wash up with Dongfang Yi.

As for the bowl in the study that was kept as evidence, Dongfang Yi asked people to put it away, invited the doctor from outside, first checked the pulse to make sure that the two of them were fine, and then handed the evidence to the doctor and asked him to help see what kind of medicine this was.

The old doctor has been practicing medicine in the city for many years, although this medicine is an aphrodisiac in the next three indiscriminate, but because he has not given a lot of medical treatment to the woman in the fireworks field, he naturally understands something, and it didn't take long to find out what this is.

Carrying a pen and writing down the three words of a day of drunkenness, after writing, he handed the paper to Dongfang Yi, and the old doctor said: "This medicine is called a day drunk, a very strong aphrodisiac." In the end, it is something that hurts the vitality, these days to nourish first, don't rush to have the same room. ”

Dongfang Yi nodded in response, asked people to take it and went outside to find medicine for comparison, and ordered to call several people involved in this bowl of soup at that time.

As soon as Nalan Jin heard the name and Shen Caiyi inside, she raised her eyebrows, and she always felt uncomfortable in her heart.

In the end, I couldn't help but say anything.

It's Dongfang Yi because it has been

Busy with business outside and inside, plus there is only Nalan Jin in his eyes, he didn't come back to his senses when he heard Shen Caiyi's name at the beginning, who is this.

Then I remembered that I had a concubine in my house.

I was about to ask who it was, but I choked in my throat before I could say anything. Dongfang Yi waved his hand and asked the little guy to retreat first and call someone over.

It didn't take long for Shen Caiyi, who was the first to propose to make soup, to come over.

Knowing that she could meet Dongfang Yi, she bothered to dress up and walked in gracefully.

The person is not bad, and Nalan Jin can't refute this, but this matter is even worse with the mood of not treating her very well.

Dongfang Yi whispered to reassure, the two were close to each other, and from a distance, they were whispering something, the golden boy and the jade girl, how could there be a place for the third person.

Shen Caiyi almost didn't shred his sleeves on the spot, but he still smiled mildly, and when he saw someone, he saluted and said, "Dongfang, Sister Jin'er." ”

Dongfang Yi ignored Shen Caiyi's ugly face and asked directly, "You asked you to send me that bowl of soup last evening, right?" ”

Shen Caiyi tugged at the corners of her mouth, tried her best to maintain her demeanor, and said, "I asked someone to send it, what's wrong?" ”

"You are convicted." Dongfang Yi wanted to deceive her, after all, there was such a thing as an aphrodisiac, and the one who drugged it was definitely a woman, and the one who could get the benefits, this Shen Caiyi was the biggest winner.

"I never knew what sin there was?" Shen Caiyi no longer had a smile on his face, and there was still some grievance in his eyes, and then said, "I also heard that someone was drugged in this soup, but this is not what I did, is this to directly convict me?" ”

A mouthful of grievances made Dongfang Yi a little annoyed, and there was only calmness between Shen Caiyi's expressions, not like she was lying.

There was no evidence at hand, so Dongfang Yi could only let her go down first and let the little maid call the cook again: "You go first." ”

When Shen Caiyi was called over, Nalan Jin also asked people to go to various courtyards to search for any medicine left, and not long after Aunt Ying came over, someone took two bags of things and handed them to Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi.

Let the old doctor take a look, and sure enough, this is a pack of one-day drunk, the difference is that there is also a package of simple poison here.

Dongfang Yi frowned: "Where did you find this?" ”

The little guy who handed it over hurriedly said: "It was found in Aunt Ying's room." ”

Aunt Ying stood aside, and when she heard it, she was at first dazed, and then immediately turned pale with fright, and said in her mouth: "It's not me." My uncle is as kind to me as a mountain, and I will not frame my uncle if I die. ”

If it was just a day of drunkenness, and there was poison found at the same time, Dongfang Yi now began to wonder whether the person who drugged him wanted to use the aphrodisiac to gain some benefits for himself, or whether he used the poison to take his life.

I'm afraid this matter is really not what Aunt Ying did.

Nalan Jin thought for a while, was silent, and simply asked people to take Xianglan and the little maid who took the soup to the study.

Xianglan was a little weak in her heart, but she was just questioned, so she told Shen Caiyi according to the previous arrangement that she just took it from the cook

soup, because I wanted to relieve my hands halfway, I asked the little girl I met halfway to help bring it over.

Indeed, from letting the gambling ghost release medicine to Aunt Ying's room, Shen Caiyi left an extra hand, wanting to mislead them, and now it seems that the effect is still a little.

After Xianglan answered bravely, the little maid on the side was frightened, and naturally poured beans into the bamboo tube and told all about the day.

No problem.

Nalan Jin asked everyone to go down first, and the old doctor also said goodbye to the house, and then said to Dongfang Yi: "It seems that they are all right, but they are the ones who can come into contact with the soup, and Aunt Ying is currently the most suspicious." What about you, or you think about yesterday. ”

Shen Caiyi, Xianglan, Little Maid, Aunt Ying, all four of them are fine, is this medicine a ghost?

Dongfang Yi thought about yesterday's situation, and he didn't have a clue.

In the end, Dongfang Yi still sighed: "It seems that there are still ghosts in this mansion, who it is, it has to be thoroughly investigated." But this medicine is definitely not given by Aunt Ying. ”

"Be sure to check!"

Nalan Jin responded with a word, and at this time, the Li family came to the door in a hurry, which made the two of them a little strange.

"Little aunt, why are you here?" Nalan Jin asked her to sit down, Li shook his head, and hurriedly said: "In your grandfather's yard, I accidentally found a jade pendant, I was afraid that it would be bad for someone to stare at me and snatch it by myself, so I hurriedly came over and wanted to ask you to go over, and then you can take the jade pendant yourself." I don't think I'm as safe as you are. ”

"Jade pendant?" When Nalan Jin heard the reason why the Li family came over, she was a little interested in this strange jade pendant, and said, "Okay, then let's go over now." ”

Dongfang Yi in the early morning originally wanted to deal with the affairs that fell yesterday.

But when he heard that Nalan Jin and Li were going out, after experiencing last night's incident, he no longer worried about them going out, even if the two of them were together.

How strong can the two women be, in case something happens, he thinks, he will never forgive himself in his life.

Dongfang Yi directly asked people to prepare a carriage, saying that they wanted to accompany him, Nalan Jin said with a smile: "Haven't you been doing a lot of things recently, and you will go out with us in the morning, so you don't delay things." ”

"Your business is my top priority, and the rest can be put aside first." Dongfang Yi didn't blush at all when he said this, and he had a feeling of pride that I was indulging in gentleness.

Although Nalan Jin felt that this was not good, she couldn't help it, but at the same time, she felt that her heart was quite sweet, and even her previous mood was much better because she was unhappy when she saw Shen Caiyi.

"Hmph. The mouth will speak. ”

After the carriage was ready, the three of them set off. The place where Li found the jade pendant before was well covered up by her before.

After Nalan Jin arrived, Dongfang Yi consciously helped shovel the soil, and it didn't take long for him to find the jade pendant under the roots of the tree in the courtyard.

Even if it is buried in the soil, this jade pendant still looks like a good thing. The green jade should be carved out of a piece of Hetian jade, and the patterns on it are layered on top of each other, incomparably complicated, and the spike tied at the bottom is also the silk of Jiangnan.

It's just such a piece of jade, which is obviously extremely valuable

, but they were hidden in the dirt and did not see the light of day.

Nalan Jin touched this piece of jade pendant and thanked the Li family: "Thank you, little aunt." If you weren't careful, I'm afraid this jade pendant would be buried here until the Year of the Monkey. ”

Li sighed: "Thank you for what I did." I'm also doing it for myself. I just hope to find a clue sooner. I hope this jade pendant is something important, don't let us rejoice in vain. ”

As it should be, this jade pendant belongs to Nalan Jin.

The three of them buried the pit they had dug up, and everything was as if nothing had happened, and the courtyard was finally calm again.
