Sending Chu Huajin and his party away, Pei Shufen returned to the courtyard, Tong Ye rushed up and told her that Tai also rewarded Hou Ye with a first-class maid and chess to make a room, and took it to the northwest together.

Pei Shufen couldn't help but be even more discouraged: It's really endless, one left, and another came

Tong Ye saw Pei Shufen's depressed face, and comforted her with flickering words, saying don't be anxious. The rules are like this, Master Hou also acts according to the law, and Aunt Qi and Aunt Fang are also sensible. You see, Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui didn't follow, and Master Hou was still thinking about it. ”

Pei Shufen couldn't help but complain that there would be such a law? ——生生要Break up the people fū'qī"

Tong Ye is not good at interface, but it is good to say that it is a round every two years, and Hou Ye will be there immediately. "But in my heart, I don't care about it, anyway, she and Hou Ye don't have a round house, even if they do, it's just to add more blockage. It's better for Hou Ye to go out, out of sight and out of mind.

Pei Shufen lost his temper and felt better, and said to Tong Ye, have you seen Tong Xue recently? ”

Tong Ye shook his head and said that the slave maid has been busy with the affairs of Hou Ye going out these days, and she has no time to go to Aunt Qi's Chunjia Courtyard. ”

Tong Xue lives in Aunt Qi's Chunjia Courtyard, and this time Aunt Qi took away all the people in the Chunjia Courtyard, and Tong Xue has to add someone to serve her.

Pei Shufen asked Tong Xing to pack a few small snacks and carry them in the food box, and said to Tong Ye I haven't seen Tong Xue for a long time, you can go with me to see her. ”

Tong Ye rolled his eyes, and apologized to Pei Shufen But unfortunately, just now he asked the slave to go, and the slave and maid remembered this place for a while, so they forgot about it. I hope it's too late to go now. As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed to Pei Shufen.

Pei Shufen didn't want to have another seizure, so he said coldly I won't say it, and you can't remember to pass it on to you. - Your shelf is really not small."

Kiripa knelt on the ground, bowed his head and smiled, without saying a word.

Pei Shufen got up and called Tongyun in, held her hand, and asked Tongxing to follow behind with a food box, and went to the Chunjia Courtyard to see Tongxue together.

I haven't seen her for more than ten days, and Tongxue has lost a lot of weight. Seeing Pei Shufen, she struggled to get up and salute, but she couldn't do it. In her room, there was a sour smell.

Pei Shufen covered her nose with a handkerchief, said a few words to her at the door of the house, and then asked Tongxing to put down the food box and leave Tongxue's house with someone as if she were fleeing.

On the second day, Pei Shufen had just gotten up to freshen up, and the Erhuang family, who was in charge of the house, came in with two mothers-in-law, and said coldly to Pei Shufen that it was too fateful and asked her sister-in-law to go to Cining Courtyard to see Tai. ”

Pei Shufen looked at the second front and back, and she must have had an accident in her heart. She brushed her forehead hair hanging from her ears with her hand, stood up unhurriedly, and asked Er, but is there something wrong? I just handed a letter to my mother's family, saying that I would see Yi'er and Qianqian tomorrow. Pei Shufen has not yet reached the gym, although she is married, she does not have a round house, so her hair is not coiled, and she still combs the girl's home-style double-ring bun.

As soon as I heard Pei Shufen mention the Pei family, it was like a pricked eye on a ball, and the bulging appearance wilted in an instant.

"Second brother and sister, but is there something?" Pei Shufen deliberately asked again.

Huang immediately changed his tone and had no ...... with the soft way It's okay ......, if my sister-in-law is free, come with me. "Calling sister-in-law to a little girl who has not yet arrived, Er Huang's heart is dying.

Pei Shufen smiled slightly, nodded slightly at Tong Yue, took Tong Xing's hand, and followed the Er Huang family to Cining Courtyard.

In Cining Courtyard, Tai was originally full of anger, but when he heard Er whispering in his ear, Pei Shufen was going back to Pei's house tomorrow to see Shizi and Lin'an Xiangjun, and Tai's anger was also extinguished.

"Shu Fen, I specially called you because I have something to ask you." It's too kind and pleasant.

Pei Shufen smiled, did not answer, and looked at Tai intently.

Tai glanced at the mother-in-law next to her, and the mother-in-law hurriedly bowed down and said Aunt Tongxue in the big room died last night. The people in Chunjiayuan said that they only went to see Aunt Tongxue yesterday. After leaving, Aunt Tongxue kept crying. The little maid who combed her hair this morning went in to serve Aunt Tongxue, who was already dead in bed. ”

When Pei Shufen heard about the death, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly explained that her mother listened to me, I went to see Tongxue yesterday, but I just stood at the door and said a few words before leaving. When I left, she was fine. If you don't believe it, you can ask my maids Tongxing and Tongyun. - It's none of my business."

The second Huang family pouted and said, Tongxing and Tongyun are the wedding maids you brought by yourself......"

Seeing Pei Shufen's panicked appearance, he didn't look like a successful person, so he first removed half of his doubt, pointed to the pestle next to her and asked her to sit down, and comforted her and said Don't worry, the doctor has just checked it, and now he is waiting for it. Tongxue is dead in the end, and it will be in a while. ”

Pei Shufen sat beside Tai with a handkerchief twisted in both hands, and her heart kept churning. She suddenly remembered the food box she had given to Tongxue. - Oops, forgot to take the food box. But the dim sum in the food box was taken from the small kitchen of Zhonglan Courtyard, and everyone has eaten it, so will there be a problem?

Pei Shufen was thinking about it, and the doctor had already followed the Qin steward to reply.

"If you go back to Tai, Aunt Tongxue in the house is a postpartum disorder and died of a blood collapse." The doctor took the first step to tell the too.

Tai and Pei Shufen both breathed a sigh of relief. Er Huang pursed his lips disdainfully.

At this time, Aunt Tongxue took a step forward and said that although Aunt Tongxue did die of a blood collapse, the snacks in the food box in her house were indeed poisonous, but fortunately, Aunt Tongxue was weak after giving birth and did not eat much, so it was not the main cause of fatality. ”

Pei Shufen's heart that he had just put down was raised to his throat again: Maybe? Obviously, it was the dim sum she asked Tongxing to take directly from the kitchen, and it was also a temporary idea at the time, even if someone wanted to make a game, it wouldn't be so coincidental, right......?

Only now did Pei Shufen understand that her mother-in-law Xia had warned her that day, not to give food to people casually, which was prescient

"Poisonous? - It's really the other way around, so I will arrest all the people in the kitchen, and see which mother-in-law is so bold and dares to murder her master" Tai took the cane and slammed the ground heavily, so angry that her chest continued to rise and fall.

Seeing that Tai didn't care about outsiders, the chief steward of Qin started a fire regardless of it, and hurriedly bowed forward to say back to Tai, now that the cause of Aunt Tongxue's death has been ascertained, she can be buried. ”

Holding back his anger too much, he said to the Great Steward of Qin that you lead the two of you down, what you should do, just do it. You don't have to worry about the affairs of the inner court. ”

The chief steward of Qin respectfully agreed, and brought the doctor and the concubine to fill in the file and cancel the case, and treated Aunt Tongxue as sick and dead, so naturally there was no need for the people from the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion to go to court.

He came with the catchers of Shuntianfu. Because he wanted to reply to Tai in person, he followed the chief steward of Qin into the inner courtyard, and the others waited in the outer courtyard.

After a few people went out of the second gate, the chief steward of Qin gave a purse to each of the catchers and servants who came today, and said with a smile. A little meaning, everyone goes to the restaurant to drink a glass of water and wine, which is also a little bit of our heart. ”

The officials of Shuntianfu are on errands at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and all of them are well-behaved and clever. Tong Xue is just an aunt from a low background, who will cry out for her? So it's all vague, regardless of whether she died of blood collapse or poisoning, in short, more is better than less, everyone is better.

I also saw that the chief steward of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion was not only low enough, but also high enough. The yacha checked the weight of the purse in their hands, and all of them hugged their fists with a smile and let the Qin chief steward break the bill, and if there is something in the future, just send someone to send a letter, and there is no need to run in person. ”

The chief steward of Qin and his entourage smiled, and sent them out of the house, only then did they turn around and order someone to call the mother-in-law who was in charge of the wedding and funeral, and asked them to find a proper person to bury Aunt Tongxue and bury her near Yingmei Nunnery on the outskirts of the capital. There is a cemetery bought by the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, which is specially prepared for childless concubines and aunts.

In Cining Courtyard, Tai had already listened to Er's report, and the food box in Aunt Tongxue's house was brought by Pei Shufen when she went to see her yesterday, so she no longer insisted on locking the person in the kitchen, but just looked at Pei Shufen with a gloomy face.

Pei Shufen was in a hurry, and knelt down in front of the lady to think about it carefully, if she wanted to harm Aunt Tongxue, she would bring a group of people with great fanfare, and leave the food box in Aunt Tongxue's house with a big grin? After speaking, with tears in his eyes, he looked at Tai very aggrieved.

looked at Pei Shufen and forced her to follow her calmly, but her whole body trembled slightly, as if she was holding back her anxiety and fear. Thinking that she is only thirteen years old, and her eldest son has just gotten married, and she hasn't even had a round house yet, so she can't murder an aunt who has fallen out of favor and lost her son, right? The Erhuang clan is next to him for fear that the world will not be chaotic, and it is difficult to say that the yin and yang are weird, and there are also people who are not thoughtful for a while. Besides, the more frank and unrestrained you are, the more you may be doing some shady things in private. ”

Pei Shufen was angry, looking up at Erdao and the second brother and sister, what do you mean? Why do I have to say I did it? ”

The second hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, smiled like the wind and waved the willows, and said, Oh, I didn't say that you did it. - You have to say it. "To Taidao Niang again, as the old saying goes, ambition is not in old age. Although my sister-in-law is young, her heart and eyes are bigger than the world, which is not comparable to those of us who are rough and stupid. ”

I heard a sound outside the second string, and looked at her with an "oh" sound, and her eyes were sharp, which made the second person who had forgotten for a while wake up.

"Mother, don't you know, a while ago, when the Hou Ye was still in the house, our sister-in-law forced Aunt Fang to have a drink. As a result, Aunt Fang couldn't get out of bed when she returned to the house, and she was very sick in the middle of the night...... also said......" The second looked at the room full of people, and deliberately suppressed the second half of his head and didn't say anything.

I knew too well that the second was now in charge of the inner courtyard, and the news was naturally well-informed, so I glanced into the house and went out. Just leave the boss and 2 to serve here. ”

The maids and ladies in the house all bowed their heads and saluted Taixing, and went out backwards.

Only Tai was left sitting on the top Luohan chair in the room, and Pei Shufen was kneeling on the ground, but Er Huang was standing beside Tai with a gloating face.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Too frowning. None of these are worry-free. I thought of Pei Shufan again, if she was there, where would there be such a mess of things, and let Cāo have to make her heart?

Seeing that the people in the house were all gone, he lowered his voice and said to Doctor Taidao that Aunt Fang was also poisoned......"

Hearing this, the Ruyao shrimp cyan gold-edged lotus cup held in Tai's hand fell to the ground with a snap.

Pei Shufen was startled, and when Er Huang saw it next to him, he was also trembling in distress: This is a set of four out-of-print Ruyao lotus cups, smash one, and there will be one less. Every lotus cup is worth a thousand gold. Four sets of lotus cups are priced at 10,000 taels of silver on the market outside......

"Is that really the case? - No one told me about something like this? You all think I'm dead, huh? "It's so angry.
