Chapter 419: Sugar, Is It Sweet?
Liu made a fuss and said that he was going to report to the official.
But after all, there is little evidence.
The dishes were washed and leftovers were disposed of.
Besides, there are a lot of people who eat, and everyone else is fine, Shan Ruan Qing was poisoned, which really can't be said to be because of the food.
The Shen family has another man, and the yamen can't deal with it, but fortunately, the person is fine, so he said that the Shen family would lose some money.
For Ruan Qing's sake, and because he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, the Li family made the decision and took five taels of silver to compensate the Liu family's mother and daughter.
When Liu saw the money, he stopped making a fuss, got his daughter on the ox cart, and dragged her home. Even Su Shi threw it down.
Naturally, there is no need to talk about this family affair anymore.
Li was depressed and panicked, and he also felt bad luck and was in a bad mood, so he went back to the house and lay down.
Shen Changbai rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "What is this called?" I told no one to do it, but they didn't listen. Now it's all right. ”
"It means that you have no fate with the girl of the Ruan family." Pei Shu patted him on the shoulder, "A manly man, he has something to do and something not to do." Since you can't let go, you should pursue it hard. What kind of ability is it to drink to drown sorrows? ”
Shen Changbai smiled bitterly for a while: "Ashu, I really envy you." ”
"Alright, we should go back too."
Pei Shu carried the things and led Ruan Ling away.
Because of the presence of the pregnant woman Su, they could not go back on foot, so they hired a carriage.
Ruan Ling really wanted to buy a carriage, she had enough money on hand, but she didn't want to be too ostentatious in the village, so she gave up for the time being.
The carriage is a precious thing, and according to the rules, ordinary bankers are not qualified to own it.
Oxen and donkeys don't hurt.
So Ruan Ling bought a cute little donkey with big eyes.
Pei Shu sat on the carriage, and Su Shi sat in the carriage.
Ruan Ling sat sideways on the back of the little donkey, with a fluttering skirt and long hair, very playful, and many people looked sideways along the way.
Pei Shu held his chin and looked at her all the way.
Ruan Ling let the donkey approach Pei Shu and talked to him: "Why didn't you see Changqing come out to see us just now?" ”
"Changbai said that his sister went to take care of his mother." Pei Shu pulled a strand of her hair, played with it seriously, and said a little absent-mindedly.
"What do you think about Ruan Qing's poisoning?"
"Did you find anything?" Pei Shu raised his eyes to look at her, thinking that she was too far away from him, so he reached out and took her off the donkey and let her sit next to him.
The big-eyed little donkey followed the carriage honestly.
Ruan Ling said: "You didn't know at the table, in fact, Ruan Qing ate one more thing than us." ”
"Oh? What is it? ”
"It's a goji berry black chicken soup." Ruan Ling whispered, "I saw it with my own eyes." ”
"Who gave her a drink?"
"Shen Changqing." Ruan Ling said softly, "Changqing personally served it to Ruan Qing, and watched her drink all the soup before stopping." ”
Pei Shu frowned: "Why did Shen Changqing harm her?" Do they have a grudge against each other? ”
"Of course, there is no grudge." Ruan Ling shook his head, "When you see a person doing things, you must first think about her motives and purposes. Ruan Qing wants to marry Shen Changbai, but now? ”
Pei Shu understood it at one point: "Why did Shen Changqing stir up Huang's family business?" ”
"This is for Shen Changqing himself." Ruan Ling said, "In short, it is certain that Shen Changqing doesn't want Ruan Qing to pass through the door. ”
Although Ruan Ling didn't explain it to Pei Shu, she already had a vague judgment in her heart.
