Chapter 22: Intrigues

With the acupressure method she learned from her mentor, Xi Jun pinched an acupoint under the elbow of the eldest brother, which could slow down his sense of taste.
Sure enough, the eldest brother drank it in one go, without stopping in between.
Fu Jin and Mama Zhou glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Big brother is so good!" Xi Jun let go of the eldest brother's arms and hands without a trace, and then quickly took out a date from the candied fruit box on the round stool on the side and stuffed it into Honghui's mouth.
"My sister is really a lucky star. In the future, if my sister can often come to accompany Honghui to drink medicine, it will be very grateful. Fu Jin grabbed the hand of Xi Jun, who was getting up from the side of the bed.
"If Fujin trusts, the concubine is willing to do a little bit for the eldest brother. It's just that the place where the concubine lives is still quite far away from Fujin, and if you go to the door in the back garden, it can save a lot of time. It's just that today's door is closed for some reason, and it's too late to ask Fujin for peace. Xijun hesitated for a moment and muttered.
"I see! After that day, let the mother-in-law who guards the door wait there. If you miss the time to open the door, Ben Fujin is the only one who asks. It's just that I have to bother my sister to come to Honghui every day. Fu Jin said with a sincere smile.
Now she is most concerned about Honghui's body, if someone can help Honghui recover, she is indeed grateful.
"The concubine is fine in the house anyway, and she has to go to the back garden every day to walk around. It's just a few more steps. Xi Jun said with a smile.
"Okay, Mama Zhou, while my sister is here, quickly bring the things I gave to Sister Niu Colu. Let's take my sister back here. Fu Jin said immediately.
Originally, last night, she listened to Xi Jun's movements in the dining room, and knew that the fourth master had spent the night in her room after all, and her heart was sour.
However, Mama Zhou's words reminded her, so today Fujin deliberately expressed a gesture of enveloping Xijun.
Xi Jun accepted the rewards of Fujin one by one. That's the rule, too!
Waiting for Qingqi and Baoqin to walk out of the back door of the main courtyard with a black lacquer plate and the master, the mother-in-law who led the way took them all the way to the back door.
When I walked to the door, it was open.
"Where's the gatekeeper here!" The mother-in-law raised her voice and shouted.
"Ouch, it's Mother Li, the slave is here!" A woman immediately ran from the direction behind Xi Jun and blessed Xi Jun before going to talk to Li's mother.
"Sister-in-law Cui, this is Niu Co Lugege, she will have to go from here to Fujin every day in the future. Don't close the door, you know? If you delay the eldest brother to drink the medicine, you will feel better! Mother Li pushed the woman and said.
"Yes, the slave knows. Slave maid to Niu Co Lugege please Greeting! Sister-in-law Cui hurriedly saluted to Xi Junfu.
"In the future, I will go here every morning at the junction between the morning and noon, and the afternoon between the Shen hour and the unitary hour, can you remember?" Xi Jun said quietly, "Don't be like this morning, close the door, but people don't know where to go!" ”
"Yes, yes, the slave doesn't dare to delay Gege's affairs." Aunt Cui hurriedly responded, her eyes involuntarily avoiding Xi Jun's forced gaze.
Scold! Sure enough, there is a ghost in my heart, and I dare not look into my eyes!
Xi Jun turned a few thoughts in her heart, so she suppressed the doubts in her heart, and said to Na Li's mother: "There is Lao Li's mother, we can go back by ourselves." ”
Mother Li politely blessed her and went back.
"Sister-in-law Cui, Fujin has always attached the most importance to his son-in-law, you can be careful of this." Qingqi couldn't help but sneer again.
Xijun didn't say much to her anymore, and took the two maids back to her house.
"Master, there was obviously something wrong with that Aunt Cui just now." Qingqi couldn't help but say behind Xi Jun.
"She is a slave who listens to people and does things, and it is unknown who is behind it! Let's take a look. Xi Jun said.
She thought that the battle would not come so quickly, but as soon as a person stepped into the land of right and wrong, right and wrong would inevitably follow.
At that time, the Li family and the Su family had also returned to the East Courtyard.
"Side Fujin, looking at today's situation, Fujin seems to be courting the Niu Colu clan!" Su Shi slanted a pair of apricot eyes, and a beautiful face was full of vigilance.
"Hmph. Fu Jin finally knew that he couldn't keep the fourth master. I'm afraid that he wants to win over the Niu Co Lu clan and deal with us!" Li snorted lightly from his nostrils, but apparently he still didn't take Fu Jin seriously.
It is no wonder that in the past ten years, the favor of the Li family has almost pressed the Wulanala clan to the point that it can't raise its head.
"That Niu Co Lu is just an unopened little girl, and her complexion is like that." Su Shi said with a look that he thought he was the most beautiful.
"That's right. When it comes to looks, you are the most outstanding. Li Shi glanced at Su Shi Dao.
"The concubine body is naturally not as good as the side Fujin. Fang Fujin now has it in his belly, and he is even more favored by his father. Su Shi realized that he had just gotten a little carried away, and hurriedly complimented.
"Su Clan, I think that thing can be carried out, otherwise when the time comes, let this Niu Co Lu Clan take the lead, and that Fu Jin will really not be able to keep your side Fu Jin position." Li added oil and vinegar to the side.
It turned out that after the Li family and the Su family made that suggestion last time, the Su family couldn't make up their minds for a while, and they didn't reply to the Li family.
"Side Fujin, the concubine just thinks that if she does that trick, will she be discovered. After all, if you are pregnant, you can't take a vacation, and after three months, if your belly doesn't get up, isn't it obvious that it's fake! Su Shi flinched and said.
"Why don't you spin your brain so much. What if you have a miscarriage within three months? Now that Niu Colu has just arrived, she has not had any place in the fourth master, and she will be pressed down in one fell swoop. Li said with a frown.
"But there will be a doctor to see the miscarriage. And if I say I'm pregnant, Fujin will at least have to let Dr. Qiu come over and take a look! Su always felt that Li's suggestion was really inappropriate.
"Didn't Doctor Qiu accept our money!" Li smiled coquettishly.
"This?" Su Shi was still hesitant in her heart, of course she knew what the Li family was instigating her to come out to deal with Niu Co Lu, but she also knew that if she didn't deal with Niu Co Lu, her position in the fourth master's mind would indeed be threatened.
"You also know the methods of the blue core. She had studied medicine before. Let her use a needle to help you delay the sunflower water a little, and you can hide from the world. Doctor Qiu said to Fu Jinyi again, who would doubt that you are not real? Li Shi further said, "Well, if you are afraid, I don't say it." ”
Seeing that the Li family was annoyed, Su Shi hurriedly said: "Fang Fujin, don't be annoyed, the concubine listens to you." ”
