Chapter 17: The Lady's Tale

Seeing that the matter was over, Mrs. Cui asked Cheng Jinsi to send someone to get another medicinal herb, and asked Mingqin to boil it in Songhe Hall for Lie Yun.

After such a toss, everyone had no intention of eating, and Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui instructed Lie Yun a few words, and let everyone disperse.

Cui Jing and Cheng Jinsi sent Lieyun back to the Purple Courtyard, and asked the maids to take care of them, and the two went back to Rende Courtyard to rest without mentioning it.

The servants of the Purple Courtyard naturally didn't know what happened in Songhe Hall, and saw that Lie Yun was sent back by the two masters of Cui Mansion with a bad face, and they all walked lightly, waiting for Mo Ju to order to lock the courtyard door, and they were busy quietly finishing their work and returning to their rooms, and the courtyard suddenly became quiet.

Lieyun also washed up a little under the service of Cuizhu's four maids, changed into a muslin shirt and lay on the bed.

"In the past few days, everyone has been tired for this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and tonight I will leave Mo Ju alone to be on duty for the night, and the three of you will go back to your room to rest and rest, and you don't have to wait." Lieyun commanded.

Cuizhu refused, saying that he was not at ease with Lieyun because of tonight's events, and he wanted to stay on duty with Mo Ju. Hongmei felt that something was wrong when she came back from Lieyun, and at this moment, she listened to what Cuizhu said, and hurriedly asked what happened. Zilan still remembered everything that happened in Rendeyuan from the other party, so she talked to Hongmei in detail. When Hongmei heard this, she was afraid, and she was angry for a while, and she actually said that Hanlu was not coming. Zilan hurriedly tugged on Hongmei's sleeve, "Okay, Hongmei, Hanlu has harmed the county lord so far, our sisters feel sorry for the county lord, so naturally they can't wait to beat her and scold her, but after all, she is the person next to Madame, no matter how much it is our turn." Moreover, she was also punished. ”

Hongmei snorted coldly, "She is also called being punished, isn't it because she saw that the county lord was kind-hearted, so she forced the county lord to intercede for her." She has that face! ”

This red plum is a person with a clear mind, but I don't know that it is unbearable. Lieyun glanced at Hongmei and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, look at all of you who are anxious and white-faced, don't I have nothing to do now, from tomorrow, Hanlu will come to the Purple Courtyard every day to boil medicine for me, you should also take it easy, don't make people's faces too ugly." Okay, don't fight, let's stay as usual tonight, Zilan will take Hongmei down to dissipate her anger. ”

When Zilan and Hongmei retreated, the three people in the house did not sleep.

Lieyun sat up from the bed, and Mo Ju and Cuizhu also gathered closer.

"County Lord, stay in the Purple Courtyard and wait for you, I was worried all night, for fear that something would go wrong with the plan, fortunately, fortunately." Mo Ju patted her chest, looking relieved.

Seeing this, Cuizhu smiled and said, "Don't you usually admire Lieyi's skills the most, and envy Lieba's face-changing kung fu the most, what are you worried about?" What's more, the county lord has taken everything into account, as long as we follow the county lord's plan, there will be no mistakes. Isn't that a success? ”

It turned out that after returning from Tanji Temple, Lie Yun was thinking about how to replace the soul devouring soup that Cheng Jinsi sent to the Purple Courtyard every night with the soul rejuvenation soup given by Xiao Yu, and it was not feasible to go to the big kitchen to change the dressing, in case it was discovered, not only would it put Lie Yun himself in a more dangerous situation, but also might bring his grandfather and grandmother in and bring them danger.

After thinking about it, Lieyun had a plan, but before he could do it, Lieyun had to determine one thing first, so he had a verbal test of the Cui family in Songhe Hall that night. And the result of the temptation, as Lie Yun expected, this soul devouring soup has nothing to do with the rest of the Cui family, it is Cheng Jinsi alone.

And Mo Ju once took advantage of the fact that no one in the big kitchen went to steal the dressing and was about to retreat, when the two little maids of Rende Yuan went to fetch food for Cui Jing, who returned late, Mo Ju hid on the beam of the big kitchen and listened to the two little maids talking.

"Alas, I really envy the big girls around Madame, especially Hanlu, in addition to Mother Zhou, Rende Yuan used to be Qiuye, and now Hanlu is the most faceful, when can we be the big girls next to the master, go out and have a brighter face than those serious ladies from small families."

"Hey, wake up, you're daydreaming when it's dark. Besides, you envy the cold dew, I don't envy it, and I don't have the courage to step on other people's lives to climb up. ”

"Well, what do you mean by that? Who did Hanlu step on and climb up? When the maid said this, as if she remembered something, she spoke a little louder in surprise, "What you said, it won't be Autumn Leaves, but Hanlu treated Autumn Leaves like a sister at that time, and she turned around Autumn Leaves every day......

"Be quiet, you, okay, don't say anything, go back with food, wait for the master, see how the lady punishes you!" The other maid seemed to have a taboo, so she hurriedly cut off the conversation, and the two took the food out of the big kitchen and went back to Rendeyuan.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Mo Ju felt strange, and went back to the purple courtyard to learn from Lieyun.

Lie Yun listened to praise Mo Ju for doing a good job, but Mo Ju didn't touch his head yet, but he heard Lie Yun turn around and tell Cuizhu again, and try to get close to the maid who said Hanlu in the next few days, and ask what happened between Hanlu and Autumn Leaves, and be sure to inquire without a trace.

Cuizhu looked at Mo Ju with a blank look, raised his forehead and sighed, so he had to explain to Mo Ju.

Lieyun's plan is to move the soul-devouring soup from the big kitchen to the purple courtyard in the name of medicine cooling and hurting the body, even if Cheng Jinsi is not at ease to send Hanlu over, but it is at least much safer to do the medicine in his own yard. And the key part of this plan is in Hanlu, because Hanlu is the person who directly handles the bowl of medicine from beginning to end. And Mo Ju's discovery is of great help to this plan.

A few days later, I don't know what method Cuizhu used, but he really got the news out of the girl's mouth.

It turned out that a year ago, Hanlu was only a second-class maid in Rende Academy, but because she and Cheng Jinsi's confidant first-class maid Qiuye were fellow villagers, Qiuye took special care of Hanlu on weekdays, and Hanlu also treated Qiuye like a sister, and obeyed what Qiuye said.

A year ago, Qiu Ye forgot to send medicine to Lieyun and caused Lieyun to be ill, and Cheng Jinsi was sold to the mansion regardless of the friendship between master and servant, and everyone in the mansion believed it, but this maid was the one who saw what happened.

That day, Qiuye was not delayed in boiling medicine for Lieyun because he was going to Tanji Temple to incense, it was clear that after drinking a cup of tea poured by Hanlu during the unitary time, Qiuye was very sleepy, and said that he would go back to the house and lie down for a while, so that Hanlu would call himself after a quarter of an hour, but Hanlu suddenly took leave from Cheng Jinsi, saying that the old man at home was seriously ill and wanted to go back to take a look.

As a result, when Autumn Leaves woke up, Lieyun had been knocked unconscious by Mrs. Zhou and sent back to the Purple Courtyard. Qiu Ye knew that he was guilty of his crimes, and he didn't have time to confront Hanlu, so he could only ask Cheng Jinsi for his guilt first, and then try to go back. Who would have thought that Cheng Jinsi was so angry that he directly betrayed Autumn Leaves and left the house.

There is one less first-class girl in Rende Academy, and Mrs. Zhou saw that Hanlu usually got close to Autumn Leaves, and she was down-to-earth and hardworking, so she asked Cheng Jinsi to let Hanlu make up for the lack of Autumn Leaves.

This maid sees the causes and consequences of the matter in her eyes, and has the heart to complain about Qiu Ye, but Hanlu is now a henchman by Cheng Jinsi's side, and she feels that she can't fight, so she can only rot the secret in her heart, but she was set out by Cuizhu.

By the time the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet was planned, everything was ready.

Lieyun revealed a cold illness during the banquet, and he had taken the cold medicine prepared by Mo Ju to inform the secret guards of Liefu in advance, and the old doctor Zhang invited by Siyu was indeed a person, but the old doctor Zhang that Siyu met in the middle of the road that night was pretended by Lieba and deceived everyone in Cui Mansion, including Old Lady Cui.

Hanlu boils medicine and delivers medicine every night, whether the medicine is cold or hot, and she can't hide it, so Hanlu is also the most sad. Fortunately, with that news, I knew that Hanlu had a ghost in her heart, and I just scared it with a ghost. That's why there was the low shout in front of the gate of the Songhe Hall, and Lieyi, who belonged to the person with the highest martial arts in the Lieyun Secret Guard, also took advantage of the time when Hanlu was panicked, and changed the medicine in the Hanlu plate at that time, Hanlu had determined that the medicine was warm before, and he was frightened at this time, and he would not confirm it a second time before entering the house.

And after entering the house, if it is in normal times, this medicine will definitely be handed over to Cheng Jinsi first, but tonight the fierce clouds have been done enough, and the saying of "cold disease damages the palace" is sacrificed, so tonight's medicine will not be handed over to Cheng Jinsi first, and as long as the other three members of the Cui family, no matter who holds the medicine first, the plan will be successful.

"The county lord is really powerful, this link is linked, I can't think of it if I want to break my head." Mo Ju looked at the blazing clouds, and stars seemed to appear in her eyes.

Cuizhu couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and offered to go outside for the night.

The three masters and servants in the house blew out the lamps and fell asleep.
