Chapter 16 The Deadly Lotus Seed Soup
Sure enough, this evening, Jiang Jiang was teasing the newly bought pug by the window, holding the handkerchief in his hand and letting it pounce.
Grandma Jiang came in with a bowl of lotus seed soup for the first time, with a gentle smile on her face, she looked very natural, and said to Jiang Jiang, "The girl is so idle, this dog is also cute!" ”
When Jiang Jiang saw her coming, he stood up, and he didn't pretend to be very kind, but as usual, he said with a faint mockery in his tone: "Why did the eldest grandmother come in person?" If you have any instructions, just call Xifeng directly. ”
The smile on the eldest grandmother's face remained unchanged, and she said, "There is nothing to order, how dare I tell the girl?" It's just that today Xifeng went to the street to buy a pack of good lotus seeds, I stewed a pot of lotus seed soup, and I thought it tasted good, so I brought some to the girl to taste. ”
Jiang Jiang stood up, glanced into the bowl, pretended to be greedy, swallowed saliva, but still shook his head and said, "I don't eat, I'm full." ”
The eldest grandmother saw her performance, and scolded fiercely in her heart: "Xiaolangzi is quite alert, he usually looks greedy, but now he is serious."
It's just that I already expected it, this bowl is specially to test you. ”
Then he smiled and said to Jiang Jiang: "It turns out that the girl is full and doesn't want to eat, so good, this bowl will be cheap for me." ”
Saying that, he finished eating this bowl of lotus seed soup in front of Jiang Jiang, and Jiang Jiang pretended to see it with straight eyes on the side.
The eldest grandmother finished eating lotus seed soup after the performance, wiped her mouth and left.
"Miss, isn't there any poison in that bowl?" Lian'er asked Jiang Jiang worriedly.
"There won't be this bowl," Jiang Jiang smiled and said, "She's here to test me." ”
"You think, usually I don't have a good relationship with her, and she suddenly brought me a bowl of lotus seed soup to eat, as long as I'm not too stupid, I will be alert. So she wouldn't have poisoned me in the first bowl. Jiang Jiang said.
Lian'er was shocked when she heard this, and said, "Grandma is too shrewd, if I don't know how many times I have died." ”
Jiang Jiang smiled: "Actually, it will be okay if you change it, firstly, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and secondly, you are actually quite clever, if you don't eavesdrop this time, how can we know." ”
The next day, Lian'er brought back the news that Zhao's mother was doing as usual and had no contact with anyone in the Jiang family. And Zhang's mother went to the pharmacy to grab medicine.
The beggar who followed her came to the door, and what she said was that her girl had been feeling chest tightness recently, so she came to buy a few pills to eat the Heart Tonifying Pill.
"Girl, why are they doing this? Why do you say you're sick? Lian'er asked.
"This is obviously a false impression that outsiders will think that I am sick and that it is not surprising that I will die. I didn't expect that the eldest grandmother was so thoughtful, and she could be regarded as a talent! Jiang Jiang sighed and said, with a bit of pity in his tone.
In the evening of that day, the eldest grandmother did not come in person, but asked Xifeng to bring a bowl of lotus seed soup to Jiang Jiang.
Xifeng put the lotus seed soup on the table and asked, "Does the girl eat it?" If you don't eat it, I'll take it away. ”
Jiang Jiang didn't raise his head, and said, "Keep it, and ask Lian'er to send the bowl over in a while!" ”
Xifeng said yes and went out.
Lian'er didn't dare to let Jiang Jiang eat it, so she hurriedly took out some and fed it to the pug.
The dog was still jumping around after eating it.
Seeing this situation, Lian'er did not relax in the slightest, if she was not poisoned today, it will become more dangerous tomorrow.
Lian'er didn't let Jiang Jiang eat this bowl of lotus seed soup, she felt that it was better to be careful in everything, so she quietly poured out the bowl of lotus seed soup, and then took the empty bowl into the kitchen.
When the grandmother saw it, she was naturally proud, but her face was as usual and she didn't show it.
On the third day, the beggars reported that Xifeng, the maid of the Jiang family, went to the pharmacy to buy medicine again, and still said that her girl's chest was very tight, and she still did not get better after taking the Heart Tonifying Pill, and asked the doctor to prescribe some other medicine to take.
This gives people the illusion that the girl of the Jiang family is seriously ill. The eldest grandmother has already thought about it, Jiang Qi'er is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and she does not go out of the door all day long, who knows if she is really sick or fake? When the time comes, who will be idle and have nothing to ask? So just be bold and do it.
In the evening of that day, Xifeng brought another bowl of lotus seed soup and put it on Jiang Jiang's table, and said, "Grandma asked me to bring it to the girl." ”
Jiang Jiang saw that she was standing still and didn't leave, knowing that most of the poison was in this bowl, and the eldest grandmother specially asked her to watch herself eat it.
Jiang Jiang then pretended to pick up the lotus seed soup and said, "This is just out of the pot, right?" It's a little hot! I blew cold and ate. As he spoke, he blew softly.
But Jiang Yaozu suddenly broke in and snatched the bowl in Jiang Jiang's hand.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Jiang asked Jiang Yaozu strangely, only to see that his face was red and white, something was wrong.
Jiang Yaozu stood there panting, but he didn't say a word.
When he accidentally passed by the kitchen just now, he heard the eldest grandmother and Xifeng poisoning Jiang Jiang's bowl.
The eldest grandmother also told Xifeng: "You must watch that little goblin eat it." ”
Xifeng promised in a low voice: "I know the eldest grandmother, this time I will discipline her for her life." ”
Although Jiang Yaozu was cowardly, he couldn't watch his wife kill his sister.
The last time because of Chongxi, the girl committed suicide by hitting the pillar, although he didn't dare to say anything, he was very guilty in his heart.
It's just that this time he still doesn't have the courage to tell the truth in front of Jiang Jiang, he is afraid that after saying it, Jiang Jiang will completely turn his face with the Hu family, and this family doesn't know what kind of storm it will usher in.
He is still willing to choose to settle the matter, thinking that as long as he stops it, his wife will no longer think about hurting his sister.
At this time, the eldest grandmother also came over, and when she saw the situation in the house, she naturally understood what was going on.
Jiang Yaozu saw that the eldest grandmother was coming, and the two looked at each other, after all, they had been husband and wife for ten years, and each understood what the other party was thinking.
Jiang Yaozu knew that the Hu family would not spare Jiang Jiang, so he was ruthless and was about to drink the lotus seed soup.
The eldest grandmother stepped up with an arrow and reached out to knock over the porridge bowl.
With a "bright sound", the bowl fell to the ground and shattered, the lotus seed soup inside spilled on the ground, and the pug ran over to lick it happily.
The eldest grandmother hurriedly instructed Xifeng: "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't hurry up and pack up your things. ”
He said to Jiang Yaozu again: "Uncle doesn't go to study, what are you doing here?" The implication was to let Jiang Yaozu leave quickly.
Xifeng came up in three steps and two steps to clean up, while Jiang Yaozu stood there trembling, but refused to leave.
The eldest grandmother looked at him coldly, her hands in her sleeves were clenched tightly, and her nails were bleeding from her palms.
Just as he was stuck, suddenly the pug began to scream, and fell to the ground with convulsions on all fours.
"The wild dogs bought from outside often get sick," the grandmother said in an extremely flat tone, "If you can't raise them at all, you will die if you can't move at every turn." ”
Then he said to Lian'er, "Throw this dog out!" Don't buy it again in the future. ”
