Chapter 321: Frangipani (2) [Second Update]
Everyone present had seen Gongsun Ying's death, so the fear of the snow spider in his heart could not be removed for a while, and when he heard that so many snow spiders in front of him were alive, he felt creepy.
Gongsun Lan explained: "That's right, the snow spider lives on the top of the cold snowy mountain, if the temperature is too high, it will automatically enter a dormant state, just like death, even if you carry it with you, you don't have to worry about the snow spider will wake up." ”
Su Xiang couldn't believe that the person she came into contact with the most every day actually hid such a terrible thing, and she was puzzled: "However, Su Xin and I are always by Miss Six's side. I didn't see her give Miss Six anything strange......"
"Huh...... Strange stuff that you will eat? Gongsun Lan looked at Su Xin and said, "Su Xin must have hidden the snow spider in ordinary food for the sixth sister to eat." And it's a relatively cool food, so you must still have an impression. ”
"Yes...... Because the weather is too hot, Miss Six is greedy for coldness, and often asks the small kitchen to make ice porridge ......to eat" Su Xiang recalled yesterday's situation, turned her eyes to frangipani, and said in shock: "Before Miss Six went to Yun Luo Yuan yesterday, she just ate a bowl of ice porridge ......"
Gongsun Lan took a teacup, cut off a small piece of red wax and put it in it, and said, "Frangipani is indeed very clever in using these candles to hide the snow spiders. Even if she suddenly comes into contact with a cold environment, she doesn't have to worry about the snow wandering spider waking up and causing harm to herself. She looked up and instructed Su Xiang, "Go get some ice." ”
Su Xiang agreed and hurriedly went to get ice. In front of everyone, Gongsun Lan lit a fire to melt the wax blocks in the teacup, and with the tip of a knife, picked out a snow spider and put it into another teacup. Everyone else subconsciously took a few steps back, as if the spider would suddenly come back to life and jump up to attack people. Xue asked, "Five girls, ...... like this There won't be any danger......
Gongsun Lan shook his head: "Don't worry." ”
Su Xiang quickly took the ice, and Gongsun Lan scraped off some broken ice with a bone knife and put it into the tea cup, saying, "The snow spider that was put into the ice cube will not wake up so quickly, it will take about a cup of tea." Awakened snow spiders do not immediately lie dormant even in warm environments, and they will rejuvenate for a period of time, which requires the controller to be very familiar with the habits of snow spiders. ”
Everyone was silent, staring at the teacup closely, especially Aunt Lin. Time passed little by little, and the third lady Tan was suddenly frightened, and whispered: "It's ...... moved."
I saw that the snow spider, which had escaped the confinement of the red wax, gradually spread its stiff hands and feet in the melting ice water, but it did not start to move immediately.
Gongsun Lan said: "The crushed ice in the ice porridge is at least the size of a soybean grain, and it is more than enough to freeze such a small snow spider, and this thing is transparent, mixed in the colorful ice porridge, you can't see it at all." ”
Su Xiang hesitated: "However, when eating, it is inevitable to crush the ice......
Gongsun Lan turned his head to look at her and said, "So, how many snow spiders were frozen by broken ice in that bowl of ice porridge?" One or two? Or three or five, or ten, or even a dozen, and one of them was swallowed whole. ”
The people in the room couldn't help but cover their mouths when they heard this, and they all showed uncomfortable looks. The eldest lady snatched the door on the spot and threw up in the courtyard. It was the first time that everyone had seen the eldest lady lose her temper like this.
Gongsun Lan continued: "After the snow spider was swallowed into its stomach, it slowly woke up like it is now, until it regained its vitality, and then, put people to death. Everyone knows how long this process takes. As for why Frangipani did this...... Then it's up to her to ask herself. ”
Yesterday, Gongsun Ying started from eating the ice porridge to the time when she was poisoned in Yunluo Courtyard, which was naturally the time it took for the snow spider to fully wake up. It is precisely because of this that the toxins will spread from the abdomen to the outside.
Aunt Lin felt a chill all over her body, her eyes were fixed on the resuscitated snow spider, and she almost bit her lip to blood! The thought of such a terrible thing in her daughter's mouth made her feel creepy! "Frangipani! Who instructed you? ”
A servant girl, who had been serving by Gongsun Ying's side for at least three or four years, suddenly did this kind of thing, either she was temporarily bribed, or someone deliberately inserted herself into Gongsun Mansion. Everyone knows that the second is the most terrifying, a frangipani was found here, are there other "frangipani" elsewhere?
Hearing this, Frangipani hugged herself tightly, fear eroding her whole body little by little. She thought that she was doing very clean, and there was no reason to be discovered, but she didn't expect that everything she did and everything she carefully arranged was easily seen through by Ji Erlan!
The old lady, who had been silent, got up from her chair and said, "Don't say it at this time, there will always be a time for her to say, someone will come!" Take her away! ”
found out the frangipani, and everyone understood that someone was indeed making trouble behind this matter. So what is the purpose of the other party? Is it tightly aimed at Gongsun Lan? Or is it to provoke the relationship between Gongsun Lan and Sanfang? The people of the Gongsun family are not stupid, and when they think about it, they feel more and more terrible.
If it is not found out at this time, suspicion will inevitably arise between the three rooms of the family, and it will cause a catastrophe over time! There is an old saying that a hundred-legged insect dies without stiffening, and for a huge family like them, it must first disintegrate from the inside before it can be truly killed! Therefore, some people want their Gongsun clan to decay or even perish! Who is it that is so far-sighted?
Frangipani was taken down, and with the methods of the Gongsun family, everyone understood what she would face. The old lady said to Gongsun Lan: "Five girls, I wronged you this time. ”
"Where is my grandmother, the clan is willing to give Lan'er a chance to prove her innocence, and she is already very gracious. How could Lan'er be wronged? ”
"Well, good boy, grandmother is not wrong about you." The old lady of Gongsun pulled Gongsun Lan, and her face became more and more pleasant, also. Everyone echoed for a while, saying that Gongsun Lan was smart and waiting, Aunt Lin stood stiffly in place, and her mind was blank. What if it weren't for Gongsun Lan, if it weren't for Gongsun Lan, he wouldn't have taken Gongsun Ying as a fight! Her gaze passed through everyone and stared fiercely at Gongsun Lan's back.
Gongsun Lan felt something, but didn't look back. Some resentments, although they are forced to be helpless, cannot be eliminated at all. In this world, not everything makes sense. Whether it's anger or not, since it has arisen, it is not so easy to change.
Everyone went out with Mrs. Gongsun and walked into the courtyard, I don't know when the thick black clouds condensed in the sky, a little hot, a little more gloomy, Gongsun Ying was lying in the coffin, had changed into a new clothes, and there were huge ice cubes around him to prevent the body from rotting. Her originally delicate face was bruised at this time, and her expression was distorted and hideous due to the pain of dying, making it almost impossible to see her original appearance.
The old lady sighed and said, "Although the initiator has not been found, the truth of the death of the six girls has been revealed, and they will be sent to the temple immediately to spend their souls and buried according to the system." ”
Aunt Lin finally recognized the reality and didn't dare to dwell on it anymore, but the hatred and unwillingness in her eyes did not diminish at all. Even if her daughter is a concubine, she is also the biological daughter of his grandson Jingxiu, but until now, he has only come to see Ying'er this morning, and he has not even said half a word of comfort to her!
Gongsun Lan looked at Aunt Lin, and was secretly vigilant in her heart, this woman was afraid that she would not give up easily. But as long as the other party doesn't come to her for trouble, she doesn't bother to care what the other party has to do.
Back in Yunluo Courtyard, as soon as Gongsun Lan entered the house with her front feet, Linghuai came over with a little girl, holding a lot of things in her hands, and said: "The slave maid asked the fifth lady to say goodbye, this is what the old lady asked the slave maid to send to you." ”
This is afraid that she will be wronged, and she will be compensated.
Gongsun Lan thanked him with a smile, and Twilight Leaf stuffed a purse into Linghuai's hand, but Linghuai didn't refuse, and Xiaoyingying's subordinates took their leave. Twilight said: "Linghuai is the old lady's confidant, looking at her attitude, the direction of the wind in this mansion has finally changed." ”
"From the outsider's point of view, my position in the house is more secure. But it's not necessarily a good thing for us. "Gongsun Lan still doesn't know what the Gongsun clan wants her to do. The news everywhere is very tight, and it seems that few people in the clan know about it, so they can only act on the opportunity.
Three days have passed in a flash, and Gongsun Ying's aftermath has come to an end, but everyone doesn't know if the old lady has interrogated anything from Su Xin, but they just feel that the atmosphere in the house has been very depressing in the past few days.
Gongsun Lan'an stayed quietly in her Yun Basket Courtyard, and she didn't go out easily, but the ladies in other rooms took the initiative to talk to her. Gongsun Mu has also been here twice, and although she has done a good job of covering up her actions, Gongsun Lan can already detect the unnaturalness of her words. In his heart, he not only speculated whether Lianyue's death had anything to do with Gongsun Mu.
After all, as the most outstanding daughter of the Gongsun family, she has always been highly valued, and she was suddenly overshadowed by Gongsun Lan, and no matter how much she has the city, she may not be able to sit still. It's understandable to find someone to test yourself as a bird, but Gongsun Mu didn't expect that this incident would actually kill Gongsun Ying.
However, this matter did not have much impact on Gongsun Lan, and there was no need for her to pursue it. The death of a servant girl can't make any waves in Gongsun's mansion.
"Miss, the sister who came to look for you last time is here." Shucao knocked on the door and reported it outside the door, breaking Gongsun Lan's contemplation.
Yuexi reacted quickly, and immediately went to open the door, and sure enough, he saw Twilight Spring outside the door. "Twilight, why are you here?"
Twilight greeted her with a smile, entered the door and saluted Gongsun Lan, and then said with a smile: "Miss, Sister Twilight is awake!" ”
