In the lobby, Jiang Xiaobai was kneeling in the center, and Su sat on it casually flipping through the scriptures, not glancing at Jiang Xiaobai.

"Since the master is unwell and his mother has returned to the mansion, the backbone of this mansion cannot be without, so I will discipline it, do you have any other ideas?"

Jiang Xiaobai lowered his eyes and looked at the lines on the floor, thinking about other things, thinking about what kind of illness his father had, and thinking about what had happened these days.

"But it's up to my aunt to decide."

Su Shi stopped turning his hand through the scriptures, and looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a reluctant expression, his tone was full of unbearability.

"Since that's the case, then the aunt will take matters into her own hands, don't blame the aunt for being ruthless."

Jiang Xiaobai kowtowed heavily and lowered his eyes silently. Su Shi knocked on the wooden table, staring at Jiang Xiaobai who was kneeling on the ground, the corners of his mouth were shallow and smiling, and his face was calm and weird.

"Come on, put the eldest girl in the ancestral hall, punish you for copying the scriptures a hundred times, and don't let them come out if you don't finish copying them."

Jiang Yan'er gasped, thinking that this scripture was the most difficult to copy, it took her an afternoon to copy it before, how long would it take for this hundred times to finish?

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the slaves who came up, only to realize that he didn't know when, everyone in this mansion became Su's people. Jiang Xiaobai looked at Su Shi and said indifferently:

"I can go on my own."

Su Shi smiled shallowly, the dimples made his face appear softer, but his eyes were like poisonous snakes.

"That's natural, no one in Jiangfu can move the big girl."

Jiang Xiaobai stood up with difficulty, did not reply to Su's words, walked straight to the ancestral hall, silently laid out the paper and began to copy it.

The ancestral hall has not been used since my mother left, and the people have stopped cleaning it, and it has become cold and damp, with moss and cobwebs all over the ground, and from time to time, the windows and doors are still crumbling by the wind.

The door was tightly guarded, except for the white rice porridge for three meals a day, he couldn't hear a sound, Jiang Xiaobai didn't care, he copied the scriptures quietly, but his head was thinking calmly.

Where did Xiaoqing go, why didn't anyone tell her what illness her father had, when the Su family bought the subordinates, all kinds of questions made Jiang Xiaobai feel a headache.

Just as he was thinking, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly heard a small voice from behind the Buddha statue.

"Miss, miss?"

Jiang Xiaobai ran over in disbelief, leaned against the back of the Buddha statue and pressed his ear, and responded in a low voice.

"Xiaoqing?"

"It's me, it's me! Miss, don't panic, be quiet, I'll come in and tell you right away. ”

Xiao Qing suppressed the voice, and there was a sound of bricks turning on the wall, it turned out that there was a wall brick behind this Buddha statue, which could be removed, Jiang Xiaobai opened his eyes wide and watched the gray-faced Xiao Qing come in.

"Shh, miss, I'll tell you slowly, the person delivering the food is coming soon, you go back and sit upright first, I'll hide it first."

Jiang Xiaobai nodded again and again, trotted all the way back to the desk, listening to the movement outside, worried that Xiaoqing would be discovered.

Today is the white porridge sent by Xi'er, the big girl next to the Su family, with a fat body twisted in, looking at Jiang Xiaobai with disdain, his eyes full of ridicule.

"Put it here, I'll eat it after I'm done."

"The master said, I am worried that the eldest girl will be too sad and hurt her body by not eating or drinking, and the slave and maid will only explain after watching the eldest girl finish eating."

Jiang Xiaobai peeked at Xiaoqing who was hiding in the corner, and Xiaoqing shook her head in resistance.

It seems that this porridge is inedible.

"Why, Miss Ben doesn't eat it, you dare to do it to me?"

"The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid are guarding the girl here, girl, you just write your scriptures."

Xi'er looked at Jiang Xiaobai motionlessly, without any intention of leaving. Jiang Xiaobai was speechless, so he had to take a sip and put it in his mouth, looking at Xi'er with cold eyes.

After standing for a while before leaving, Jiang Xiaobai ran to the Buddha statue and spit it out, this white porridge was sticky, and Jiang Xiaobai's throat hurt, and he really couldn't help it if he didn't leave.

"Xiaoqing, tell me what the hell is going on."

Xiaoqing gently patted Jiang Xiaobai's back, her eyes instantly turned red, and her aggrieved voice was full of crying.

"Miss, the slave is worried about you, after the master fainted in the lobby, the slave was punished and confined, and I hurried over when I heard that the young lady was back."

The more Xiaoqing spoke, the more she couldn't help but tremble, and said to Jiang Xiaobai:

"When the slave came over, she met the big maid of the Su family, and she forgot about the porridge with a powder bag that she didn't know what it was, and she didn't know what she was thinking."

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the white porridge, if it was poison, it would be no good for the Su family if she died, and it could also put the Su family in trouble, how could she figure out the purpose of the Su family's doing, let alone Xi'er.

"Xiaoqing, you go and bring my night clothes, you put them on too, and we'll go check at night."

Xiaoqing nodded and was about to leave, Jiang Xiaobai called out to Xiaoqing, looking at the wall tiles suspiciously, with question marks in his eyes.

"Miss, this secret way... It was the lady who was afraid that you would be bored if you were punished, so she specially asked me to do the secret way. ”

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the wall tiles silently, and the face of A-Niang in his memory was blurred, but the thin figure always reminded people of the bits and pieces of the past, considerate and empathetic.

A-Niang has always been so gentle.

After Jiang Xiaobai waited for Xiaoqing to leave, he sat back and continued to copy the scriptures, waiting for night to fall.

Night falls, and the stars twinkle. After Xiaoqing came back, Jiang Xiaobai changed into night clothes and turned out of the ancestral hall, ran all the way to the roof of the Su family, and gently pried open the tiles and looked down.

Su Shi was drinking tea and looking at the accounts, and Xi'er next to him was grinding ink, saying a lot of obedient words to please Su Shi.

"Madam, good things are coming, I see that your complexion has been much better recently!"

Su Shi smiled and took a sip of tea, and his behavior was like a kind of mother-in-law.

"How many times have I said not to call me Madame, it's not in accordance with the rules."

"What Madame said, if the eldest girl is sick, her time to live is short, and the old man has the root of the disease, and the Jiangfu will have to be Mrs. to say in the future."

Su Shi smiled silently, played with the teacup in his hand, looked at the account book in front of him, and thought about the next step in his heart, but he didn't know that all this was in Jiang Xiaobai's eyes.

This abacus played well, Jiang Xiaobai clenched his fists, suppressed the anger in his heart, put the tiles back, and waited for Su Shi to fall asleep before deciding to act.

It was dark and windy, Xiaoqing took the drug and blew it down from the roof, and after Su fell asleep, Jiang Xiaobai went in in the dark.

After some careful fumbling, he finally found a small box under Su's bed, which contained a small bottle of powder, and smelled it carefully, the taste was exactly the same as the sweetness of the white porridge.

It should be right, Jiang Xiaobai poured a little out and wrapped it up, and then put it back as it was before leaving.

Before returning to the ancestral hall, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Jiang Huai again, looking at Jiang Huai's painful expression, he felt a little more guilty in his heart, but when he held Jiang Huai's hand, he found that something was wrong.

Jiang Xiaobai was surprised to find that there was a thin pale cyan line on Jiang Huai's little arm, and hurriedly pulled Xiaoqing and said anxiously:

"Xiaoqing, look! Daddy, he's poisoned! ”
