Chapter 43 Door-to-door medicine
After the smoke of the carriage left, the onlookers who had been watching the excitement also dispersed one after another. However, just now, the general's mansion defeated the second miss of Shangshufu, and the news that the second miss of Shangshufu fled quickly spread in the streets and alleys of the capital.
In the restaurant, Liu Qingyan and Li Xiuming shouted that they had looked away before after seeing the means of condensing smoke in the General's Mansion.
"Chen, now I finally believe what you just said, I didn't expect this woman to be so simple!" Liu Qingyan still didn't dare to associate the ruthless water condensation smoke just now with her before.
"Chen, did you also suffer at her hands before?" When Li Xiuming said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed, "Chen, I remember, before your personal guard Kuijian was hung on the city gate, and I heard that there was a sign on Kuijian's chest at that time, which said that Kuijian was your ......."
As soon as Li Xiuming said this, he met Huang Fuchen's murderous eyes, he shrunk his neck in fright, and asked without fear of death in order to dig up gossip: "Could it be that this time is the trick of that woman Shui Ningyan to take revenge on you?" β
Huang Fuchen's handsome face was cold and terrifying, he snorted coldly, and said word by word: "At the beginning, this king seemed to say that if someone spread this matter, if he heard that someone dared to talk about it in the future, he would be killed with a stick and a cane and thrown into a mass grave!" Brother Xiuming, you should know, right? β
When Li Xiuming heard this, his body suddenly stiffened, and the smile on his face was even more ugly than crying, "Chen, are you planning to kill me?" β
Huang Fuchen glanced at Li Xiuming lightly, and asked lightly: "What do you say?" β
"I said, definitely not, we have been brothers for many years, how can you bear to ask for my head. You say yes, right? Li Xiuming sneered and immediately played the friendship card.
Huang Fuchen didn't eat this, his voice was as cold as frost, "That's not necessarily, next time I let this king hear you talk about this matter, this king will not hesitate to choose to cut off the tongue of you and the person who reported to you, and kill you with a stick!" β
Huang Fuchen's voice was cold, his eyes were sharp, and Li Xiuming was so cold when he heard it that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Liu Qingyan said at this time: "Chen, just now I remember hearing that girl from Shui Ningyan said that her young lady was trying to hide her strength, so she always pretended to be crazy and stupid, but why did she do this?" What exactly is her purpose? What's in it for her? β
"Qingyan, are you a little too curious?"
Huang Fuchen's face was already cold to freezing, and his voice was so cold that it could completely freeze people to death, but it was a pity that Liu Qingyan, who only cared about gossip, didn't notice that Huang Fuchen was very wrong.
Li Xiuming next to him squeezed his eyes again and again, but he didn't care at all, Gu Zi said to Huang Fuchen: "Chen, I don't have the desire to learn, I'm just a little curious." β
"Oh, did you know that curiosity kills cats?" Huang Fuchen stared at Liu Qingyan and said with a smile.
The coarse Liu Qingyan still didn't care, and said with a smile: "Chen, aren't you curious about this at all?" Anyway, Shui Ningyan is also your nominal fiancΓ©e, aren't you curious about her weird ways? β
After speaking, Liu Qingyan saw that Li Xiuming's eyes were twitching more and more, and couldn't help asking, "Xiuming, what's the matter with your eyes, why are they twitching one by one?" β
When Li Xiuming heard this, he immediately scolded Liu Qingyan in his heart for being hopelessly stupid.
"Ahem...... Chen, Qingyan, I suddenly remembered that there are still some urgent matters to deal with at home, I will be absent first, and the two of you will talk slowly. After speaking, Li Xiuming quickly got up, and then fled.
"How did this guy sneak away so fast like he's a god!" Liu Qingyan didn't know why, so he couldn't help but tease.
"He's smarter than you." Huang Fuchen said expressionlessly.
Liu Qingyan didn't take this sentence to heart, and continued the topic just now, "By the way, Chen, you said that you hid your strength before condensing smoke and pretending to be crazy and stupid, it won't be because you don't want to marry you, so you ......" Before Liu Qingyan finished speaking, he was directly thrown out of the window by Huang Fuchen.
Liu Qingyan, the eldest son of the squire of the Criminal Department, who has always boasted of being dashing, fell to the ground without any image, and maintained the posture of eating for half a day, attracting countless onlookers.
Xiao Eryi of the drunken fairy building heard the loud noise in the private room upstairs, and hurriedly "pedaled" upstairs into the private room to check the situation, and when he saw that the originally beautifully carved Xuan window was destroyed miserably, Rui Wang, who was originally sitting upright, got up elegantly, and then said very calmly: "The money for this meal and the cost of destroying the public property of the restaurant are all recorded in Liu Qingyan's account." β
When the words fell, Huang Fuchen flew away, leaving only the stunned Xiao Er.
General's Mansion, Mingyue Pavilion.
At this time, Lime and He Shouzheng were telling Bai Zhi and Yu Jin about their defeat of Shangshu Mansion Murong Xue on the street today. Lime and He Shou were already very eloquent, and the two of them tried their best to highlight their young lady's wisdom and martial arts, so they only bluffed Bai Zhi and Yu Jin for a while. When Bai Zhi and Yu Jin came back to their senses, they beat their chests and regretted that they didn't go out today and missed the sassy and heroic appearance of their young lady.
"Miss, that Murong Xue of Shangshu Mansion is really hateful! Obviously, she was originally domineering, blocking the way of the young lady, and finally bullying the young lady! It's just too much! Bai Zhi said angrily.
What's even more excessive is that Miss has the heart to let her go, not only is she not grateful, but she even threatens to never let Miss go in the future. Miss, let the slave maid say that you shouldn't have spared Murong Xue like this at all! Yu Jin couldn't help but feel sorry for her young lady.
Sitting on the soft couch and eating the water condensation smoke of the fruit bowl leisurely, he smiled, "Yujin, how did you know that I would let her go?" β
"Huh?" Lime and the others were all puzzled.
Obviously, didn't their young lady already let Murong Xue go? Why did you say that you didn't let each other go?
"Miss, what's going on? Did you really not let Murong Xue go? Lime and the others immediately wondered.
"I'm sure you'll find out soon."
A hint of unfathomable expression appeared on Shui Ningyan's face, no matter how the four girls asked, she just didn't say anything, just ate the fruit plate leisurely.
At this moment, I saw the housekeeper Fu Bo hurrying over, and said to Shui Ningyan: "Miss, the people from Shangshu Mansion are outside asking to see you." β
When Shui Ning heard this, her eyes moved, and then she waved her hand and said, "Let's just say that Miss Ben is not in a good mood today and I don't see anyone!" β
Fu Bo explained: "The people of Shangshu Mansion said that their second miss had no intention of offending Miss today, and they blamed themselves very much after they went back, because they were unwell and could not come to the door to apologize in person, so they sent someone from the mansion to apologize for their young lady. They also brought a lot of jewelry and antiques, saying that it was a little bit of their young lady's heart, and I hope the eldest lady can like it. β
Lime, He Shou, Bai Zhi, and Yu Jin were so shocked that they could stuff eggs in their mouths, they absolutely didn't believe that an invincible person like Murong Xue would suddenly bow his head and give in, and he would also take the initiative to give jewelry and antiques to their young lady. There must be some conspiracy in this.
"Fu Bo, if you go and tell the people in Shangshu Mansion that I accept their young lady's apology, but it will be useless, let them take back all the jewelry and antiques."
"Yes, the old slave will reply."
After Faber left, the four girls discussed it word by word.
"Miss, why don't you accept those jewelry and antiques? Anyway, it's delivered to the door, don't be in vain! β
"That's right, Miss, that Murong Xue is so hateful today, it's only natural for Miss to accept some things from her."
"Miss, I heard that Murong Ning, the secretary of the military department, is not a good official, and those jewelry and antiques sent by Murong Xue must also be ill-gotten gains, and the slave thinks you should accept it."
"Miss, you should accept this ill-gotten wealth as a matter of course."
Listening to the four girls brainwashing themselves together, Shui Ningyan couldn't cry or laugh. How could she not want the jewelry and antiques sent to the door for nothing, she knew that Murong Xue had a request for her, so she just wanted to put it on the shelf, if she didn't want it, wouldn't she be a fool.
"Okay, okay, young lady, I know, I'll listen to you."
As soon as Shui Ningyan's words fell, he saw Fauber running in in a hurry.
"Miss, the people of Shangshufu are not leaving, saying that no matter what, please let the eldest lady go, and Shangshufu said that dozens of doctors in the capital have been invited, and they all say that their young lady is poisoned, but they don't know how to detoxify. They said that apart from the conflict between Miss Murong and you today, nothing special happened, so I think it should be Miss You who poisoned you. That's why I came to ask for the eldest lady. β
As soon as these words came out, Lime and the others were suddenly shocked, especially Lime and He Shou, who couldn't believe how their young lady managed to poison Murong Xue.
They remembered that the young lady had not even come out of the sedan chair at that time, let alone had the opportunity to have intimate contact with Murong Xue, and their young lady's poisoning methods were simply shocking. For a while, the admiration of the four maids for their young lady soared again.
"Since Murong Xue knows that she is wrong, there is no need for Miss Ben to hold on to her anymore." As she spoke, she didn't know when there was already a red medicine bottle in her hand, she handed the medicine bottle to Fu Bo, and said in a deep voice: "Let the people of Shangshu Mansion leave the jewelry and antiques, and return this bottle of medicine to Murong Xue, remember, you must shave all the green silk on your head and then wipe it on your scalp, otherwise it will not work." β
"Poof......
After hearing this, the four girls all covered their mouths tightly with their hands, for fear that one of them would accidentally laugh. Their young lady is so black-bellied, she actually came up with such a means to punish Murong Xue, just ask which woman doesn't love beauty, doesn't love her long flowing hair, Miss actually let Murong Xue shave her hair, it is estimated that Murong Xue wants to die this time. Even this Hundred Flowers Banquet must be difficult for her to attend.
After listening to Shui Ningyan's instructions, Fu Bo wiped his cold sweat and left the Bright Moon Pavilion. The four girls couldn't help but laugh out loud.
