Chapter 95: Caustic Soda

The little รท said โ—Ž Net], the โ™‚ little รท said โ—Ž Net],

Princess Jinyue was quite interested in the decoction in the private hall, pulled Xue Su to ask questions, and when it was getting late, the palace gate was about to give the key, so she left Yan Ruyu step by step.

The group stepped out of the shop with their front feet, and Xue Su then instructed Chunlan to take a pair of sheepskin boots and place them on the desk.

The woman held a brush in her hand and dipped it in some translucent grease and smeared it on it, and the maid in the hall didn't understand what the proprietress was doing, but remembering that she had just made such a big fuss, they were silent one by one, and they didn't dare to say anything at all.

Sheepskin boots are meant for women, the leather is soft and fine, if it is not well maintained, it will be soaked in snow water in winter, and then blown by the cold wind, and it will not be worn for a few days.

Elephant bile ointment has the effect of moisturizing the skin, and it should have made the boots more polished, but at the moment the skin seems to be corroded, and it becomes pitted, which is extremely scary. Seeing this scene, the maid in the hall was terrified, and she couldn't imagine what would happen if this elephant gall cream was applied to the face of the female guest.

Xue Su has also seen the world, and after thinking about it carefully, she guessed that the caustic soda in the elephant bile paste should be mixed with nitrate fur, which was originally colorless and odorless, but after touching the water, it will produce a faint odor.

Xiu's eyebrows were tightened, and a pair of apricot eyes swept over the maid's face, she didn't know who colluded with outsiders and deliberately framed her, but the traitor must be in the private hall, otherwise there would be no chance to do anything with the cholester.

There are a total of ten maids in the private hall, because the body contract is pinched in the palm of his hand, Xue Su used to be very relieved of them, and never thought that there would be such a dog thing eating inside and out.

"Tomorrow the business will be closed for one day, let's investigate carefully to see who did such evil things, mixing caustic soda in the ointment, once those nobles are disfigured, no one will end well."

When the words fell, Xue Suqiao's face seemed to be frosty, and she left Yan Ruyu with Chunlan and Qiuju. Until she got into the carriage, the depression in her heart still hadn't subsided, but fortunately, the box of elephant bile paste hadn't started to be used yet, otherwise she wouldn't be able to bear the anger of Princess Jinyue.

Leaning on the cushion with her eyes closed, Qiu Ju pinched her master's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Madam, do you have a charter in your heart?" You can't replace all ten maids. โ€

"Today's caustic soda didn't come in handy, the dog thing with evil intentions will definitely send the news, and then Chunlan will go to Xu Cheng and ask him to send a few guards to keep an eye on those maids, and there is no need to startle the snake, as long as the news found is handed to me."

For the master's orders, Chunlan naturally would not refuse. Xu Cheng's resolute face and the terrifying momentum on her body appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but shudder secretly, and panicked in her heart.

When they arrived at Tonghua Lane, Xue Su and Qiu Ju went straight back to the main room, but Chunlan trotted to the front yard, looked around, and did not see Xu Cheng's figure, she was not only not disappointed, but relieved.

"Who are you looking for?"

A low voice came from behind her, and the little maid was startled, but she was not a person who was outwardly exposed, and she quickly regained her composure, "Yan Ruyu is a traitor, someone has poisoned the ointment, Madame wants to borrow some people from the Xu guards, staring at the ten maids in the store, I don't know if it's convenient or not?" โ€

When she spoke, Chunlan didn't have an extra expression on her face, and she lowered her eyes, just to block her frightened gaze.

Xu Cheng nodded, "Since it is Madame's order, Xu should do his best, and Miss Chunlan can rest assured." As he spoke, the tall man clasped his fists at her, then turned to leave.

Chunlan didn't expect that Xu Guard would remember her name, she was deeply surprised, but she didn't say a word, and walked back to the main courtyard quickly.

Xu Cheng is worthy of being the most powerful subordinate of the Auxiliary Marquis, this person is an extremely sharp long knife on the battlefield, harvesting many Xiongnu lives, and returning to the capital can also help the Chu family deal with affairs, which is completely different from those brave and unscrupulous military men.

Only one night later, he sent the news to Xue Su.

"Madam, there is a maid named Lotus Leaf in the private hall, who was originally a person from the capital, because her brother was addicted to gambling, she was sold to the hands of human teeth, and came to Yan Ruyu, a few days ago her brother owed five hundred taels of silver to the gambling house, and someone asked Lotus Leaf to add a bag of powder to the elephant bile ointment, so that yesterday's incident would happen." Xu Cheng stood down and said expressionlessly.

"Lotus leaves?" Xue Su muttered silently, she was not impressed by this little maid, and she didn't expect that a person who signed the deed of sale would be so bold, she continued to ask, "That maid is still in the private hall?" โ€

Xu Cheng replied respectfully, "Without Madame's instructions, my subordinates did not do it without permission, and the reason why I found out about this matter is because Lotus Ye went home with a silver ticket, gave the silver to his parents, and paid off his gambling debts for his brother." โ€

A sneer appeared on her delicate face, Xue Su slapped it on the table, gritting her teeth with hatred, "This bastard who betrays his master, while receiving an incomparably generous salary, murders me, and dares to pretend to be casual, it is extremely shameless!" โ€

Seeing that her master was so angry, Chunlan was secretly anxious, and persuaded in a low voice, "You are still pregnant, don't be angry first, you have to think about it for the little master." โ€

The tragic death of the child under the wheels in the previous life has always been a scar that Xue Su cannot touch in her heart, and at this moment, the child is born in her belly, and she must protect him well from being hurt in the slightest.

Taking a deep breath, although the woman's face was still a little red, her breathing calmed down a lot, she settled down, and ordered, "Guard Xu, please continue to stare at the lotus leaf, once she has contact with the people behind the scenes, she will arrest them together, and save the stumbling block!" โ€

Xu Cheng bowed slightly and responded.

Less than half an hour later, Chu Qinghe returned from the camp in the north of the city, he walked straight in the direction of the main courtyard, pushed open the door, and saw the little wife of Shui Lingling, whose narrow eagle eyes revealed a little softness.

Because of her pregnancy, Xue Su has recently become a little plumper than before, and the soft flesh on her waist is pinched a lot, but fortunately, her skeleton is delicate, and she can't see anything when she wears clothes, but her chest is slightly bulging.

The man strode up to her, scooped the person in his arms, and smelled a shallow peach fragrance in front of his nose, he only felt numb all over, but he couldn't move.

"Susu, I am pregnant in October, how should I survive?"

Glaring at the man angrily, Xue Su sneered, "Master Hou is working so hard, is it possible that you still want the concubine to find you two beautiful concubines to comfort you?" โ€

The red mouth kept talking nonsense, glaring at Chu Qinghe's angry beard, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only kiss him fiercely to teach him a lesson.

------

Yu Mansion, bedroom.

Cheng Sanniang stood behind Father-in-law Yu and gently beat him on the back, with obvious disgust in a pair of fox eyes, but if the latter turned around, she would immediately change to another face, indescribably gentle and petty.

"Father-in-law, it's been so long, why hasn't there been any news from Yan Ruyu's side? The concubines were a little anxious. โ€

Holding Cheng Sanniang's hand, Father-in-law Yu pinched her wrist hard, and the skin and flesh instantly became red and swollen, making her gasp in pain.

I only heard that Father-in-law Yu said expressionlessly: "You didn't tell our family before, Yan Ruyu's proprietress is Mrs. Fuguohou, if you had known that she was such an identity, our family would definitely not give caustic soda to that little maid." โ€

It's okay not to mention this stubble, but when he mentions it, he gets angry and can't help but scold a few words.

The body shrank slightly, Cheng Sanniang couldn't care about struggling, her eyes were slightly red, and the tears of bean-size crackled down, crying, "There is no way to be a concubine, I have long followed my father-in-law, but I have been repeatedly bullied by the Xue family, my father-in-law does not want to offend the Xue family, and the concubine is not reluctant, this is all fate, I deserve to be stolen by that slut and step into the mud for the rest of my life!" โ€

Father-in-law Yu has so much affection for Cheng Sanniang, and when he saw the woman's pitiful appearance at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and he restrained his anger and said, "Don't cry, didn't I say it just now?" There is a little maid who took caustic soda into the private hall, as long as the grease mixed with caustic soda is applied to the face, it will inevitably disfigure the guests, no matter whether the unlucky person is Princess Jinyue or not, the Xue family can't please it. โ€

Hearing this, Cheng Sanniang finally broke into tears, turned around and walked to Father-in-law Yu, and sat in his arms, and the supple appearance made the latter very satisfied.

"By the way, our family has been sending people to serve your father and mother, a few days ago, a guest came to the door, it seems that what is Wang Youqing?" Father-in-law Yu is a eunuch, even if he has Cheng Sanniang's counterpart, he still can't rest assured, for fear that she will be hooked by other men and cuckold him.

"Youqing is the cousin of the concubine, he has already married, and he has married two equal wives, this time he is in Beijing to prepare to participate in the Autumn Festival, not that I boast of Haikou, he does have real talent and learning, this time, maybe he can be the top student in high school." Cheng Sanniang remembers her dream very clearly, Wang Youqing married Princess Jinyue and became a colt after winning the champion.

It's a pity that her cousin didn't have such good luck in this life, and she became close to Xue Yue and Wei Yuying early, and there was no chance for Princess Shang anymore.

Father-in-law Yu's powdered face showed a hint of concern, but he didn't say anything, in the end, he was also a relative, if it was too stiff, it would not be beautiful.

"My father-in-law has free time these days, can you meet my cousin?" As the chief eunuch, if he can say a few kind words in front of His Majesty, it will be a great thing for Wang Youqing.

Cheng Sanniang's abacus crackled, and Father-in-law Yu was not a fool, how could he not see her thoughts? But now that he has been hooked, he wants to be a match with this woman, and it is not difficult to help Wang Youqing, whether he can climb up or not depends on his own creation.
