Chapter 254: Chrysanthemum Pillow (22)
Ning Xiang regained her smaller appearance as the proprietress of the Dragon Gate Inn, and the space where she had stopped was active again, and the shopkeeper and the cook got up from the ground in a daze, muttered a few words to themselves, and hurriedly led the donkey who didn't know when to break free from the kitchen.
"Ruyi girl, do you still want to eat donkey tendons?" Ning Xiang looked at Xing Ruyi's eyes: "If the girl still wants to eat, Ning Xiang will make it for you herself." ”
Xing Ruyi shook his head: "This donkey is too inauthentic, even if it is made into donkey tendons, it is not the taste I want to eat." Forget it, let's ask the shopkeeper of Ning Xiang to sell this donkey to the farmer, and while he is young and strong, he can also help the farmer do some work. ”
"Shopkeeper, this ......"
The young man had already led the donkey to the cook, and the cook had already picked up the knife again, and when he heard Xing Ruyi's words, both of them looked at Ning Xiang in embarrassment.
Ning Xiang smiled and said to Xing Ruyi: "Thank you, girl!" ”
After that, he sent the ingot of gold given by Xing Ruyi back to Xing Ruyi when he was on the second floor. Xing Ruyi looked at it and pushed it back with his hand: "Since this ingot of gold was given to the shopkeeper of Ning Xiang, Ruyi has no intention of taking it back." Don't worry about thanking me first, I have to ask the shopkeeper for two people here. ”
"Ning Xiang knows who the girl is looking for, come with Ning Xiang!" Ning Xiang said, motioned to the young man to take the donkey back to the donkey shed, and instructed him to find a suitable mouth today and sell the donkey.
The young man was stunned, and after exchanging glances with the cook, he led the donkey to the donkey shed.
Xing Ruyi, Fox, and Chang Tai followed Ning Xiang to the backyard and found the missing third young master of the Su family, Su Jingrui, and Steward Su in a seemingly inconspicuous grass house. It's just that both of them have also been turned into donkeys, one in the prime of life and the other in the elderly.
"Since they are all donkeys, why don't they be locked up in the donkey shed outside, could it be that the donkeys that this young master has become are more expensive?"
In Ning Xiang's eyes, these donkeys may be different, but in the eyes of buyers, they are no different. The reason why they were not put in the donkey shed was because Ning Xiang knew that a few people would come back sooner or later. Oh, what Ning Xiang means is that the people in the yamen will check it out sooner or later. ”
"Since you know that the people of the Yamen will look for this, why don't you let them go?"
"Because they're not good people, and they don't deserve to be put out." Ning Xiang glanced at the donkey that the third young master of the Su family turned into: "Actually, when the girl bought an umbrella in the market that day, Ning Xiang saw it, and even thought about stopping the girl." At the moment, the reason why the girl bought that umbrella should be because she saw Su Qianqian, the fourth lady of the Su family, who was attached to the red bone umbrella. ”
"You know?" Xing Ruyi asked rhetorically, but soon he didn't think it was strange. Ning Xiang is a demon, and she is doing inn business in this paper shop town, and the people and things that come and go, I am afraid that few can hide it from her.
"Ning Xiang naturally knows, because the fourth lady of the Su family was scared by me."
"Are you scared?" Xing Ruyi didn't expect that Ning Xiang was actually related to the Su family's affairs.
Ning Xiang nodded, walked to the door, looked at the clouds floating in the sky, and sighed softly.
"During the day, I am the proprietress of this Dragon Gate Inn, and at night, I am a spider spirit practicing in the mountains, that is, a monster in the mouth of others. Actually, I've been very careful, and the places I choose are places that mortals don't usually go to. Therefore, when I saw the third young master of the Su family and the fourth young lady pulling and pulling into my cultivation place, I was also shocked.
At that time, I had already returned to my original appearance, and if I rashly changed back to human form, it would be even more noticeable. Besides, at that time, I was also attracted to the conversation between the two of them. ”
"Could it be that there is something unclear between the third young master of the Su family and the fourth young lady?"
Ning Xiang nodded: "If you just listen to the conversation between the two of them, I think so." ”
"What did they say?"
"They mentioned the eldest young master and eldest young grandmother of the Su family." Ning Xiang turned around: "Since you have investigated me, you should know that the eldest young master of the Su family is actually kind to me, and he can be regarded as helping me in Su Guangcai's matter." As for the grandmother of the Su family, she is a person from this town, she is warm and generous, although she has not helped me, she has also had a few encounters with me, and she is a rare good girl among mortals.
Therefore, when the third young master of the Su family mentioned them to the fourth young lady, I couldn't help but listen to a few more words, but the more I listened, the more I felt that the heart of this mortal was really terrifying. ”
"The third young master of the Su family and the fourth young lady Su Qianqian seem to be related to the death of the eldest young nurse." Xing Ruyi took the initiative to say the results of his investigation in the Su family.
"Yes, I heard that too. At that time, the fourth young lady Su Qianqian's expression was very excited, and she told the third young master Su that the reason why she was with him in the first place was to let him help her deal with the eldest young grandmother. Now that the eldest young grandmother has gone, she hopes that the third young master will stop pestering. But the third young master threatened the fourth young lady, if she dared to betray herself, she really got together with the eldest young master, and he would tell the eldest young master and the old lady of the Su family all the things between the two people, including the conspiracy to kill the eldest young grandmother.
Although the third young master was born to his aunt and was the concubine of the Su family, the blood flowing in his body was also the blood of the Su family. The fourth lady Su Qianqian is different, she is the adopted daughter of the Su family, although she is very favored, but she is not a member of the Su family, if these things are exposed, Master Su may not be able to protect the fourth lady.
The third young master asked the fourth young lady to obey his arrangement and marry the person he chose, and then the two joined forces to transfer the Su family's property to his own name. When that time comes, he doesn't care if the fourth young lady still wants to follow the eldest young master. ”
"It sounds like this, the third young master of the Su family seems to be the worst person in the Su family." Xing Ruyi said, and also glanced at the donkey on the far right. She uses ghost magic, so she can see through the surface of the donkey's humans. Although he looks good, he is obviously not as good-looking as the second young master of the Su family, and there is a small family spirit in his eyebrows and eyes. Those two pairs of eyes were full of calculation.
"Small households are worried about firewood, rice, oil and salt, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along, and this big family is naturally fighting for power and profit. The eldest young master and the second young master of the Su family are both from Mrs. Su, and they are considered to be sisters-in-law, who can rightfully inherit everything of the Su family, although the third young master has been running around since he was a child, he is also working hard for the Su family's industry, but once Master Su delegates power, his hard work over the years is to make wedding dresses for the other two young masters of the Su family, both young masters, and the third young master is unwilling in his heart. ”
"This is just one of the points, the other point is that the current Mrs. Su was originally just a side room, if it weren't for the mood in the main room, she would not have succeeded in ascending to the throne, and the current eldest young master of the Su family, the second young master, would not have become a concubine." Xing Ruyi rubbed his hands: "It seems that the third young master of the Su family is planning further with his mother, I am afraid that he just wants the Su family's property." ”
"Who the Su family's property ultimately falls into has nothing to do with Ning Xiang, Ning Xiang only cares about what happened to the Su family's eldest young master and eldest young grandmother. From the mouths of the two of them, Ning Xiang heard that the reason why the eldest and young grandmothers were sick and even left in the end was because these two people were making trouble behind their backs, and their methods of poisoning were beyond Ning Xiang's imagination. ”
"I also investigated this matter when I was in the Su family before. The pillow given to the grandmother by the fourth lady, Su Qianqian, was mixed with poisonous flowers, which can invisibly make people sick and even take people's lives. ”
"It's not just the pillows, but also the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the young grandmother." Ning Xiang's eyes swept sharply at the donkey that Third Young Master Su had turned into. "The young grandmother loves chrysanthemums, which everyone knows in the paper store, and everyone knows it. Even on the day of the eldest young master's wedding, the shading embroidered on the wedding robe was also a chrysanthemum, so it can be imagined that this chrysanthemum must have been planted a lot in the Su family. ”
"There are indeed many, it seems that even the courtyard of the eldest young master has been changed into a courtyard. This word, which contains both the chrysanthemum of the chrysanthemum and the meaning of holding the chrysanthemum in the hand, is the young master who compared the young grandmother to the chrysanthemum in his hand, which is quite poetic. ”
"In this world, there is little infatuation and a lot of negative intentions, but this pair has been victimized by those with ill intentions." Ning Xiang sighed again: "The young grandmother loves chrysanthemums, and most of them are taken care of by themselves on weekdays, so these two people smeared poisonous juice on the edge of the pot where the chrysanthemums were planted, and it was those poisonous juices that caused the young grandmother to lose her light." But these people still refused to let her go, and even took advantage of her blindness, and became more and more vicious, they bribed the maid next to the grandmother, hid poison needles on her clothes, and soaked venom in the roots of the hairpin and vermilion hairpin she brought. These venoms are originally extracted from animals or plants, and once or twice will not cause immediate harm, but over time, they can erode the health of the grandmother little by little.
They are very smart, and they know that after the eldest and young grandmothers leave, the eldest young master will definitely ask and check, so the things used by the eldest and young grandmothers before their deaths are prepared in two copies. One is poisonous, and it is hidden on weekdays, and it is completely burned after the young grandmother leaves. The other one is good, replaced by the maids who were bought, and put it in the room, so the eldest young master can't find out anything. Oh no! It's not that nothing can't be found, at least the eldest young master knows that someone is assassinating the eldest young grandmother. ”
"Su Jingbo, he knows?"
"He knew, because he was poisoned like the young grandmother! Poisoned by the chrysanthemum pillow. Ning Xiang said, lowering her eyes: "The people of the Su family only know that the eldest young master of the Su family lives in seclusion in the temple, but they don't know that when he left the Su family, he has already entered the body, and even vaguely guessed who harmed them. But he has a good heart, and the eldest and youngest grandmother has gone, and he has no intention of living, and feels that poisoning is the best arrangement in the world, so he is unwilling to pursue it. ”
"Su Jingbo should have swapped pillows with his wife." Xing Ruyi guessed.
"Yes! The eldest young master, he did this. Not long after the young grandmother used the pillow, she felt extremely uncomfortable, and the eldest young master felt sorry for her, so he changed the two pillows. At that time, the eldest young master never thought that his favorite sister would send a poisonous pillow to his wife.
Although the poisonous pillow was taken away by the eldest young master, it was still on the bed of two people in the end, and the toxin would not be affected by only one person. The eldest young master is a man, and his body bones are better than those of the eldest young grandmother, and the eldest young grandmother, if there were no other poisons, she might be able to last a little longer. It can only be said that these people are too anxious and too smart. ”
"Especially that Su Qianqian, who wanted to kill the eldest young grandmother and replace her, but she didn't expect that when the husband and wife shared the same pillow, she didn't kill only one person in the end!"
