Qingyan sat in the study absentmindedly and was silently writing "The Art of War", she wanted to give this book to Xiao Heng to thank him for saving her life yesterday.

She secretly decided in her heart that after sending this book, even if the account was settled, she would never get along with each other from now on.

Soon after, news came that a little eunuch came to the Hou Mansion to read the holy decree, the holy decree was given to Lin Jian, Qingyan Courtyard was far from present, Lin Jian's frontier was meritorious to resist the enemy, and when the army returned to the dynasty, he sacrificed his life to save the prince of Jin, and Zhai was promoted to the fifth grade supervisor and kept his word, and was promoted two levels in a row.

With this good news, everyone in the Hou Mansion was immersed in joy, and soon the day passed, the sunset dyed half of the sky red, the birds returned to the nest and chirped, busy hugging their wives and children, and Qingyan took Bangyun and Bangyue to step on the afterglow of the sunset, and walked through the bamboo forest to Songtao Garden.

Tonight's family banquet in the Hou Mansion celebrates Lin Jian's safe return and promotion through the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of Songtao Garden, I saw Lin Qingyun wearing a goose-yellow Luo skirt, wearing peach blossoms and beads, and shaking the branches, with a big peony flower behind her head, and the lotus step came gracefully.

It is said that it was a chance encounter, it is better to say that Lin Qingyun was waiting for Qingyan here, since Qingyan returned home from Yecheng, Lin Qingyun's life in the Hou Mansion has been difficult.

Qingyan didn't buy Lin Qingxin's account at all, coupled with the matter of Yunwangfu, Lin Qingxin relied on herself as the eldest lady's heart, and every time she was angry, she would turn the Hou Mansion upside down, and she also insulted Lin Qingyun in various ways, and even beat Lin Qingyun to vent her anger.

Not only that, Lin Qingyun has hardly had any chance to go out in the past few months, she really wants to go with Qingyan to accompany the county lord of Zhaojing today, you must know that pleasing the county lord of Zhaojing will be one step closer to her ultimate goal of marrying Xiao Heng.

Huan Pei was soft and pleasant, but it was not as beautiful as Lin Qingyun's crisp voice, she stepped forward a few steps, held Qingyan's hand, and exclaimed with an affectionate face, "Third sister, this dress is so beautiful!" ”

Qingyan smiled slightly, returned the salute, a flash of narrowness flashed in his eyes, looking at Lin Qingyun's intact face, his eyes flowed, and his lips opened lightly, "I didn't expect the fourth sister to dress up, she was so beautiful, and she was clumsy on weekdays, but she didn't see that her sister was a beauty." ”

Lin Qingyun smiled shyly, of course she could hear Qingyan sarcastically mocking her, she usually hid clumsily in front of Lin Qingxin, but she had a purpose today, no matter what Qingyan said, she would greet her with a smile.

I only heard her say: "Sister, don't make fun of my sister, compared with my sister's face in the city, it is difficult for Yun'er Puliu's posture to be elegant." ”

Then I heard it again, "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, why don't my sister go with my sister today to release river lanterns and pray for the Hou Mansion." ”

Hearing this, Qingyan's face was silent, but he sneered in his heart, Prince Jin's Mansion sent an invitation, and it would spread all over the Hou Mansion in a moment, if she said that she didn't know who would believe it, she was afraid that the drunkard didn't mean to drink, and it was true that she wanted to accompany Zhao Jing, and it was Lin Qingxin......

Thinking of this, she said: "Today, my sister has promised the county lord Zhaojing to accompany her to release the river lanterns, and I can't answer my sister's appointment." The words also showed a helpless look.

Seeing this, Lin Qingyun had a smile in her eyebrows and eyes, and she smiled: "What's so difficult about this, it's better for my sister to take my sister to accompany Lord Zhaojing." ”

Qingyan looked embarrassed and reminded Lin Qingyun, "How can this be?" Last time, I took my fifth sister to the eldest princess's mansion and the fifth sister had an accident, and Qingyan couldn't escape the blame, and I didn't dare to bring the sisters in the house to the appointment anymore. ”

When the words fell, Lin Qingyun was not angry, the corners of her mouth squirmed and she was about to say something, but she heard a voice behind her, "Why are you chatting here, come into the yard." ”

The two of them turned around together, and saw the third lady with the sixth girl and the seventh girl, and Lianbu moved the money lightly.

Entering Songtao Garden, soon everyone came, the eldest young master Lin Jian, his pace was steady, and he couldn't tell that he had been injured yesterday.

After a long time, the Hou Ye came, everyone sat down, the eldest lady and Lin Qingxin were very quiet today, except that their eyes were a little resentful, and they didn't find fault with their mouths, they were still a little unaccustomed to such a clear face.

She looked at a large table full of dishes, which was probably the most sumptuous meal she had eaten in the Hou Mansion, including Longjing shrimp, West Lake vinegar fish, called flower chicken, stewed crab roe, lion's head, crystal trotters, etc., and the most important thing was her favorite Bazhen tofu.

Qingyan picked up the quail soup of white fungus codonopsis on the side, stirred it gently with a spoon, and the enticing aroma wafted out from the soup cup, her nose moved slightly, and the dark light flashed in her eyes, so strong arsenic taste.

She secretly gave Bang Yun a look, signaled her to catch the maid who had just served the soup, and then swept her eyes over the people present one by one, seeing that the eldest lady and Lin Qingxin looked calm, but Lin Qingxin's secretly cast gaze revealed her motives.

Qingyan smiled slightly, covered her sleeve with her pretense and drank a sip of soup, and then indifferently finished the dinner, which did not last very long, because the girls were anxious to put the river lanterns.

Qingyan's eyes were faint, and he looked at it with a sneer in his heart, Lin Qingxin and the eldest lady gradually climbed up to their anxious faces, secretly thinking that they must be thinking, why they hadn't vomited blood and died......

Qingyan smiled slightly, and just about to salute and leave after the dinner, she covered her stomach and shouted that it hurt, and the eldest lady's anxious eyes were dyed with a faint smile, and her face was nervous, "Yan'er, what's wrong?" ”

Qingyan's face was slightly red, and he said a little shyly: "Maybe it's a bad stomach." After the words fell, he didn't care about everyone's etiquette, and hurriedly walked out of the house, and before leaving the house, he also signaled Bang Yun on the side to keep an eye on the eldest lady's mother and daughter.

Everyone thought that Qingyan was going to the toilet, but they didn't expect her to go directly to the toilet and leave the house.

The eldest lady was furious, and as soon as she got out of Songtao Garden, she slapped Chen's mother on the side, with resentment in her mouth, "You can't do a little thing, what use do you want?" ”

Chen's mother was aggrieved, she bought arsenic, how could it become a laxative? hurriedly explained: "It must be the one who sells the medicine that sells fake medicine, please give the old slave another chance." ”

The eldest lady snorted coldly and acquiesced, they obviously saw Qingyan take a sip of the soup, a whole bag of arsenic, even a shallow sip was enough to kill her, the only explanation was that there was something wrong with this arsenic.

After the words fell, Chen's mother took out the remaining paper bag, there was still residual powder in the paper bag, twisted it with her fingers and put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, but after a while, she was bleeding from her nose and mouth, her face turned black, and she fell to the ground.

At this time, she couldn't care about anything else, the eldest lady hurriedly sent someone to ask for a doctor, and the doctor came to check that Chen's mother was indeed poisoned by arsenic, and the remaining powder in the medicine bag was also arsenic.

What is incomprehensible is why Qingyan ate arsenic, but did not die of poison, but just diarrhea, this girl is very evil, could it be that arsenic does not work for her?
