314. Self-inflicted

"Sister!" Meng Xiaoling couldn't control it anymore, hugging Tang Lingyun and crying. It's heartwarming that this child is so young, and he actually knows how to be compassionate.

The maidservant didn't expect that the young lady, who had just been humiliated by the concubine in every way and didn't shed a single tear, was now filled with warm tears by a child.

"Don't cry, scare the child again, come and say something in the house." Gu Yao came over with his daughter in his arms and beckoned them into the house to chat.

Meng Xiaoling nodded, hugged Tang Lingyun, like holding a baby, and walked into the house cautiously.

Su Xiaojin saw that she liked her son so much, so she let her hold her. And Tang Lingyun also lay in her arms obediently, not crying or making trouble, playing with her little hands.

Finally, after Meng Xiaoling's mood stabilized, he told Su Xiaojin the secret he had inquired about.

It turned out that Tang Muchen's mother's death was not accidental. Meng is the culprit, but the specific details are done by the dumb mother-in-law. She only found out by chance when she saw the letters between the two of them in Meng's room.

Su Xiaojin nodded, everything was as she expected. She didn't act before because she was afraid that her son was too young and she was weak. It's different now, Tang Lingyun is so old, it's time for her to think about how to avenge her mother-in-law.

Meng Xiaoling nodded, and bluntly said that if there was anything she needed to help her, she could not shirk it.

The two sat down to drink tea for a while, and Meng Xiaoling reluctantly said goodbye. Before going out, she looked at Tang Lingyun who was playing on the ground with soft eyes, like a loving mother.

"Sister, can I come to see Ling Yun often in the future?" Finally, she timidly spoke.

Su Xiaojin looked at her pleading eyes, and felt inexplicably distressed. Once upon a time, she was also the pearl of her parents' palms, an arrogant little girl, and now she is so humble.

"Yes, you're his aunt." She laughed, and if she wanted to, she could come and visit him every day.

When Meng Xiaoling heard this, she was ecstatic and grabbed the handmaiden's hand and shook it vigorously, and the handmaid also smiled happily at her.

After the two left, they sighed softly at the ancient ballad of holding their daughter and playing.

"Meng Xiaoling is also a person with a hard life, and he can't live without an heir in this palace."

Su Xiaojin nodded, since she slipped last time, the concubine has bullied her even more fearlessly, I heard that Tang Fan has not been to her room for a long time, and even the subordinates look down on her in every way.

After Tuoba Xue'er came to the Houfu, there was not a day of silence. No, today I started to look through the walls of the courtyard again, and I also said that I was looking at the scenery.

Meng knew that she liked Tang Muchen and thought about how to use her to achieve his own goals. She decided to look for a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

So early in the morning, he asked his personal maid to bring morning tea to Tuoba Xue'er.

"There are some things that can be solved. Princess Xue'er, you are much more beautiful than that Su Xiaojin, and you are of noble birth, based on this alone, Su Xiaojin will not be able to catch up with you in a few lifetimes. Meng's maidservant was grooming her while chewing on the root of her tongue with ulterior motives.

Tuoba Xue'er looked up at her, and the speaker had no intention of listening. What did she mean by coming to her house early in the morning to figure out what was wrong?

"Your wife told you to tell me?" She sneered and glanced at the maidservant, if it weren't for Meng's instructions, she wouldn't have the courage to do so.

The maid shook her head, this matter has nothing to do with the lady, she just thinks that she is beautiful and has a good relationship with the old lady, so she is willing to help her.

After speaking, she took out a pack* from her cuffs, saying that she really couldn't get used to Su Xiaojin's appearance as a tiger, and it was time to teach her a lesson.

Tuoba Xue'er was a little moved, she had already had this idea, and she hadn't settled the account for her embarrassment at the last banquet. Every time she saw her and Tang Muchen entering and leaving the Houfu in pairs, her teeth itched with anger.

But looking at the appearance of the maidservant, she was a little hesitant. I just want to do this, but I haven't planned how to implement it.

"I heard you say so many disturbing things early in the morning, I feel dizzy when I hear it, you go out first." She decided to think about how to make her plan watertight.

The servant nodded, left the medicine bag and stepped back. Tuoba Xue'er picked up the herb and looked at it over and over in her hand, with an imperceptible smile on her face.

Su Xiaojin, no one dares to rob me of what I like. Now that you are so arrogant, I am no wonder of it.

Thinking like this, the smile on her face deepened.

During the dinner, the empathetic Meng specially arranged for Su Xiaojin and Tuoba Xue'er to sit together. Meng Xiaoling felt that something was wrong, but she didn't see anything for a while, so she could only glance at Su Xiaojin worriedly, suggesting that she must be more careful.

Su Xiaojin responded that he was not a vegetarian, so he naturally would not let the five princesses of the Western Regions bully.

"Madam, the purple rice barley soup is ready, is it ready to serve now?" The maidservant girl came over and asked for advice.

Meng nodded and asked them to serve it quickly.

Su Xiaojin calmly looked at Tang Lingyun beside him, he was gobbling up a big chicken leg, his face and hands were full of oil, and his appearance made people laugh. Tang Muchen lovingly wiped him with a brocade handkerchief, looking like a loving father.

Tuoba Xue'er looked at all this coldly, she just couldn't understand what she was not as good as that ugly woman, why didn't Tang Muchen even look at her?

The maid came in with the purple rice barley soup, and one of the maidservants put the first bowl in her hand in front of Su Xiaojin, and the other bowl in front of Tuoba Xue'er.

Tuoba Xue'er stared at the soup in the white jade porcelain without making any movement.

Su Xiaojin had already picked it up, put it to his mouth and blew it a few times, and was ready to feed it to his son Tang Muchen. He's eaten so much greasy meat tonight, he should have some soup.

After she blew on the soup a few times, a smell of Chinese medicine came to her nostrils. She frowned slightly, although the soup was sweet, it still couldn't hide the smell. She laughed in her heart, even though the other party deliberately seasoned it with purple rice, she could smell it.

cough cough cough ...... She covered her mouth and began to cough, as if choking on food.

Tang Muchen came over to help her and asked her in a low voice if it mattered. Su Xiaojin shook his head, saying that he just accidentally choked.

At this time, Tang Lingyun suddenly cried, shouting for Eniang to hug him. Tang Muchen had no choice but to hand him to Su Xiaojin.

Su Xiaojin took the opportunity to leave the table and walked out of the room with his son in his arms. Ancient ballads also came out.

"Ma'am?" She looked around, there was no one around, and quickly asked her in a whisper if she noticed that the soup had been tampered with.

Su Xiaojin nodded, the ancient rumor had followed her for so many years, and he knew her well. When Fang frowned himself, Gu Yu began to cover up and find a way to make her stop drinking the soup.
