Chapter 52: Planting

The county official coughed twice, looking at Yuan Ziyi's appearance, he had some doubts in his heart, and he didn't know how to punish this Qiao You.

"In that case, Miss Qiao You has a motive to kill, I think I should be right when I say that." Xia Zishu slowly spoke, suppressing the jealousy in her heart.

Qiao You looked Xia Zishu up and down, and the doubts in his heart suddenly understood.

This person always looked at her with disgust, and she knew the reason, because Xia Ziyan also looked at her like this at the beginning.

Therefore, this Xia Zishu also likes Yuan Ziyi.

Remembering what Xu Sixiao said in the restaurant before, she smiled, and finally understood why this Xia Zishu was so "suspicious" of herself.

I'm afraid it's not a suspicion, it's a sham!

"Miss Xia is right, but I still say that some things can't be succeeded by suspicion alone, if Miss Xia has physical evidence, maybe she can convict me, right?"

She raised her tone slightly, looked at the woman with an indifferent expression, her phoenix eyes were half-squinted, with a cold and sharp light, and she secretly said in her heart, sure enough, the woman's jealousy was really terrible.

I think Xia Zishu also likes her cousin, the two sisters fight for one person, she is just a concubine, but Xia Ziyan is a concubine. She needed to do something to make her odds better.

"This, let's let the adults check, think about it, the adults will definitely give my sister and my Xia family justice." Xia Zishu secretly clenched her hands and didn't look at the girl in the hall.

I don't know why, in Qiao You's years, all her cover-ups seemed to be useless, and those dark eyes seemed to be able to see through what she was thinking.

The neglected county official was mentioned again, he patted the listening wood in his hand, and the little guy next to Yuan Ziyi came up and said a few words, the county official's face changed, and finally let Qiao You out.

When the crowd dispersed, Yuan Ziyi walked to Qiao You's side, with the same smile on his face, the folding fan in his hand swaying, and teasing, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Sister Qiao is still such a sharp-toothed girl." ”

In a few words, the county official was speechless, although the county official was indeed a brainless person.

Qiao You paused, then turned his head to look at the young man beside him, his bright complexion was covered with a layer of coldness, "Heh, your sharp teeth can't withstand the ruthlessness of a woman, you'd better take care of your cousin." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Ziyi was stunned, and when he reacted, he felt that this little girl was really smart, and it only took a long time to guess the murderer.

I have to say that Xia Zishu chose to do it here was a mistake, not to mention that the timing was wrong, and even the plan was full of mistakes and omissions, not to mention her aggressiveness towards Qiao You today.

Everyone knows that the relationship between the two young ladies of the Xia family is very poor, and she will be sad for Xia Ziyan, which is simply a joke.

Watching Qiao You walk away, Yuan Ziyi quickly chased after him, Xia Zishu, who came out of the yamen with his hind feet, had a gloomy face, and the maid on the side lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Watching the figures leave one after the other, she slowly spoke, "What about Lan Xuan, why haven't you come back?" ”

Lan Xuan is the maid next to her, the one she just sent out, the maid next to her is called Lan Yuan, the two are sisters, and they have served Xia Zishu since childhood.

"Miss, I guess I'm coming back soon, should we wait?" Orchid Yuan asked cautiously.

Xia Zishu didn't speak, her face returned to its previous softness, but there was a bit of coldness hidden in her eyebrows, she walked directly to the carriage at the door, and the master and servant returned to Yuan's mansion.

As for Lan Xuan, Xia Zishu thought that since Yuan Ziyi was also standing by that woman's side, she would definitely not be able to let that woman go, this time, she must make that Qiao You guilty.

When he returned to Yuan's mansion, he asked Lan Yuan to guard at the door, and as long as Lan Xuan came back, he would go to tell her.

The maid responded, and stood directly by the gate waiting for someone to come back.

In the backyard of the Yuan Mansion, Xia Zishu and Xia Ziyan were arranged in the same courtyard, and Mrs. Yuan was sitting next to the bed taking care of Xia Ziyan.

The face of the person lying on the bed was pale, there was not the slightest blood on his lips, and his originally beautiful eyes looked as if they were sunken at this moment.

"Doctor, this poison has been cured, why hasn't Yan'er woken up yet?" Mrs. Yuan frowned and asked the doctor beside her.

The doctor put away the medicine box, glanced at the person on the bed, and then said, "Madame, don't worry, Miss's body is already weak, and the poison in it is already strong, but now that the solution is solved, it still needs to be slowed down, as long as I don't be surprised, I should be able to wake up tonight."

Mrs. Yuan nodded at this time, and asked the maid next to her to take the reward to send the doctor out, and just turned around, she saw Xia Zishu with a hateful face.

Mrs. Yuan squeezed out a smile on her face and let Xia Zishu in.

"Why did you come back alone, Ziyiren?" Mrs. Yuan looked behind, but there was no one.

Xia Zishu smiled secretly, and then said, "Cousin Fang is with Miss Qiao You, so he should be back in a while." ”

As soon as Mrs. Yuan heard the name Qiao You, her face immediately sank, and her gentle complexion became sharp, "Qiao You, is the female chef you said was cooking for Yan'er?" ”

"It's the girl." She replied slowly, with a faint sense of mustard pride in her heart, because she knew that her cousin's mother paid the most attention to women's etiquette, and even if the poor family went out to look forward to showing up, she would always disdain it.

In this way, Qiao You will not be happy with Mrs., and I think it will not be long before Mrs. will get rid of her.

"How could that girl be with Ziyi, didn't you go to the yamen to sue them?" Mrs. Yuan was puzzled, when Yuan Ziyi accepted the girl and came to the pilgrims, she did not agree.

Although it is firmly said that the girl is poisoning Yan'er, it is a bit far-fetched and full of suspicions.

But it's strange for a girl to come out and show her face.

Xia Zishu nodded and told her what happened in the Yamen, she didn't add any fuel to it, because she knew that if Mrs. Yuan went to question her cousin, she would definitely say it.

When the time comes, won't she be a mess in her cousin's heart? The tongue is long and narrow, and the girl herself is a prick.

Indeed, as she thought, Mrs. Yuan's face was difficult to look at when she heard that the girl was not even kneeling in the hall, and she had always liked educated girls the most.

That Qiao You, not to mention being so presumptuous, with a humble background, even wanted to seduce his son, it was simply wishful thinking.

"Shu'er, do you think your cousin Ziyi is ...... to that girl?"

Mrs. Yuan deserves to know her son, if that girl is not liked by Yuan Ziyi, her son will definitely not be in her eyes, let alone make decisions for that girl.

Yuan Ziyi has always been a dissipant, and he will definitely not be so enthusiastic.

Hearing this, Xia Zishu's heart sank slightly, and even her cousin's mother thought that Yuan Ziyi liked that Qiao You.

"I, I don't know, I shouldn't like it, after all, that Qiao You is just a country girl from a village." Xia Zishu thought about it, and finally just attacked Qiao You's identity.

Hearing this, Mrs. Yuan's face became even more ugly, and it can be said that what Xia Zishu said was what she hated the most.

……

Xia Zishu waited in the mansion for a long time, and she had to give it almost every day, but Lan Xuan hadn't come back yet, and she couldn't help but panic in her heart.

Qiao You returned to the village alone, and what happened in the city today had not yet been reported to the village, so those villagers did not know what happened today.

Yuan Ziyi returned to Yuan's mansion and was caught by Mrs. Yuan and questioned for a while.

"Mother, I really don't have a favorite girl, where did you hear the rumors."

In front of Mrs. Yuan, Yuan Ziyi is nothing more than a child, and he is not as unscrupulous as in front of others.

Mrs. Yuan never said Qiao You's name, but seeing that her son refused to say a word, she couldn't help but say, "Then the girl named Qiao You, you don't like it at all?" ”

To be honest, if Yuan Ziyi didn't like it at all, she would never believe it as a mother.

Besides her thoughts, if Yuan Ziyi doesn't like it, she will definitely not approach, where is it like that Qiao You, she has asked the shopkeeper who came to the pilgrim to inquire.

What does Yuan Ziyi call people, Sister Qiao?

has no relatives and no reason, what to ask Sister Qiao to do, it is not that there is a trace of meaning in my heart.

"Huh? How did you think of her? Yuan Ziyi was stunned, and then his face became serious, and he looked at his mother uncomfortably.

His mother wouldn't casually inquire about him, and besides, if she showed such concern today, someone must have said something from it!

Thinking of this, he already knew in his heart who that person was?

Mrs. Yuan didn't lie to him, and said it directly, but thinking that her son was so disgusted with this issue, she suddenly became nervous, "Naturally, Shu'er told me after she found out today, what, do you still want to hide it from your mother and me?" ”

"Nope." Yuan Ziyi smiled and shook his head, "But mother, I just took a fancy to Qiao You's cooking skills, I think you haven't tasted that girl's cooking, it's really delicious that I've never seen before." ”

Hearing her say this, Mrs. Qiao remembered that a few days ago, the people in the house had mentioned what kind of hot pot the pilgrim had invented, and I heard that the taste was not bad.

Mrs. Yuan was about to open her mouth to ask about hot pot, but when she saw her son's expression, she suddenly woke up and patted Yuan Ziyi's head, "Hey......, what are you talking about, don't open the topic." ”

"No, didn't I tell you about this little girl?" Yuan Ziyi shrank his neck and smiled, facing his mother, he really couldn't show the kind of courage outside.
