Chapter 68, Pastry is Poisonous
To say that this Chengfu is really a wealthy family, this pre-dinner snack is also exquisitely not like words, and the pattern on the white jade pearl cake is so delicate that people can't bear to bite down.
Each of the upper patterns is different, there are Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum pictures, as well as mandarin ducks playing in the water, Qiao Wan'er held one, and after looking at it for a long time, she saw that it was a beautiful picture.
I was about to send it to my mouth, but I didn't expect to suddenly bump into a maid, and the maid bumped directly into Qiao Wan'er, and the pastry in her hand flew out, and the cup of tea that the maid was carrying was also poured on the pastry on the plate.
Qiao Wan'er raised her head depressedly, frowned and stared at the panicked maid, and found that it was not her own, so it was not easy to have a seizure, so she gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"Madam, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, ma'am, I'll go and give you a new one." This girl was very clever, and when she found that Qiao Wan'er was not that difficult to mess with, she immediately relaxed, thinking that as long as the problem was solved, this matter could be passed.
Cheng Xinlan found out that it was the maid in her house, so she shouted: "What are you doing, so careless, working like this, be careful that I kick you out!" ”
"Miss, Xue'er didn't mean it, Miss, if you want to be beaten and punished, you can dispose of it casually, before that, please let me atone for my sins, and I'll go to the kitchen to bring a new plate of pastries."
Although the maid named Xue'er looked like she was very afraid of Cheng Xinlan on the surface, Qiao Wan'er didn't think that this incident was an accident for them, on the contrary, it seemed to be ...... It has been arranged for a long time......
"Go!"
Before Qiao Wan'er could think about it, she heard Cheng Xinlan's sharp command.
Looking at it from a distance, Cheng Xinlan looked at the maid's expression very hideous, as if she wished she could be driven out at this moment.
Seeing Cheng Xinlan ingratiating with Qiao Wan'er like this, everyone thought to themselves, probably it is true that this pampered Miss Cheng family wants to marry Zhou Yu as a concubine, and she is rushing to please Qiao Wan'er at this time, this maid is so eyeless, of course she wants to please her.
But that's just in the eyes of everyone, and in Qiaowan'er's opinion, things are not as simple as they seem......
Alas, fortunately, I have watched a lot of palace fighting dramas, otherwise according to Cheng Xinlan's superb acting skills today, it is estimated that she Qiao Wan'er is afraid that she will really have an accident.
The maid quickly brought a new plate of pastries.
The maid's acting skills are not as good as Cheng Xinlan's, when she put the pastry in front of Qiao Gui'er, her two hands seemed to be trembling, although it was very subtle, but Qiao Wan'er still noticed it.
Moreover, she didn't dare to look at Qiao Wan'er at a glance, and after putting it away, she immediately bent down and retreated.
Qiao Wan'er kept staring at that face, white for a while, red for a while, and iron blue for a while, the eyes that were spinning around were not focused, and the fine sweat on both sides of her nose kept oozing.
This appearance is obviously a thief's heart.
There was definitely something wrong with the pastries. Qiao Wan'er can conclude.
But how can you let everyone know this without being poisoned. In case this is a life-threatening poison, then if she dies like this, it will be too much of a loss, she hasn't played enough, and she can't die.
Qiao Wan'er glanced at July, and had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.
July looked at Qiao Wan'er and looked at the pastries and looked at her, obviously hungry but didn't do it yet, to say that July is not a fool, this back and forth, you also understand.
Seeing Qiao Wan'er pick up the pastry and put it in her mouth, July suddenly stopped her.
"Madam, the general gave me a death order, after he leaves, all your meals will be tested for poison with silver needles, if I don't do what the general orders, he will come back to make me guilty."
July's aggrieved look almost made Qiao Wan'er believe it.
is still her Qiao Wan'er's maid with good acting skills, and follows the master.
"In July, don't be rude, this is a meal prepared by the Cheng Mansion, how can we try it like this."
Qiao Wan'er stared at July with wide eyes, a fierce look on her face. Glancing at the maid who came from the pastry, sure enough, at this moment, she probably wanted to die, beads of sweat seeped out from her forehead, her eyes were turning hollowly, but she only dared to look at the ground.
Zhang listened to July's words, and felt very angry at first, but after thinking about it, people are also reasonable, but it is just the husband's favor and worry, and there is nothing too excessive, if they don't let them try, everyone may think that this pastry is really poisonous.
"Hey~ It's okay, it's okay. Since it is an order given by the general, you should obey it well. Try it, little girl. ”
When Zhang said this, his face was gentle. Qiao Wan'er looked at such a moody woman, and thought that she deserved to be favored for so many years.
Cheng Xinlan's face was also a little pale, but she held back the fear in her heart, she wouldn't be afraid, she was Cheng Xinlan.
Xue'er suddenly glanced at Cheng Xinlan, and after a flurry of staring at each other, Cheng Xinlan still looked like she was fine, but Qiao Wan'er noticed that Cheng Xinlan's last look at Xue'er was like a sharp knife in the cold winter, stabbing directly into Xue'er's chest.
July had already leaned down and was preparing to test the poison.
The silver needle slowly inserted into the pastry.
Everyone held their breath, and to watch the excitement, you have to have the professionalism to watch the excitement.
When July lifted the silver needle, the silver needle instantly turned black.
"It's dark, ma'am, it's dark! Pastries are poisonous! July was so frightened that she sat on the ground, she didn't expect that this pastry was really poisonous, and July, who was shocked into a cold sweat, only felt weak in her legs.
She was still thinking about why Madame didn't take the pastries......
July blamed herself for being sloppy in her heart, why didn't she think of this in advance, General Ming Ming prepared so many silver needles for her, and General Ming Ming explained her food safety about her wife word by word before leaving......
Qiao Wan'er looked at July's embarrassing appearance, and laughed secretly in her heart, this stupid July, she must be thinking that if she didn't see it, she would die in Chengfu.
How did I know in July, as soon as Qiao Wan'er went out, she raised a hundred hearts, after all, in this era, she has already met someone who wants her to die, and that is still a woman......
For a moment, all the ladies stood up, wanting to see the blackened silver needle in July's hand. Qiao Shu'er walked directly in front of July and saw the blackened silver needle clearly.
She staggered back to her seat, a cold sweat broke out on her body...... The consequences are unimaginable...... But when she turned to look at her sister, Qiao Wan'er didn't have any panicked look, but instead had an expression that she already knew......
"Sister......" Before Qiao Shu'er could speak, Qiao Wan'er held her down, shook her head while pressing, and patted her hand lightly on the back of her hand, Qiao Wan'er was signaling to her sister that she was fine, so that she didn't have to panic.
Zhang's face darkened, and his heart was already in a swamp, but his tone was still pretending to be calm, "Quick, bring the silver needle." ”
The maid beside him took the silver needle from July's hand and handed it to Zhang's hand.
"How is that possible? This...... That's impossible...... How can it be poisonous......"
Everyone's face turned white instantly, and his eyes suddenly burst red with blood, and they knew that the pastry was indeed poisonous......
However, they all ate the pastry......
One of them was so frightened that they reached out and picked their throats, and some of them were so frightened that they sat on the ground directly, crying and grabbing the ground.
"No, it can't be, sisters and sisters, don't panic."
Zhang looked around and suddenly saw Xue'er cowering in the corner.
Cher is the maid in her daughter's house......
Could it be that the poison of Qiao Wan'er's plate of pastries was caused by her own daughter...... Zhang was also so panicked for a while that he didn't know how to take the next step.
This time, she really regretted it, why did she raise such a daughter who was not afraid of heaven and earth......
