Chapter 41: Shen Ninghua, It's You!
Shen Linghan was like sitting on pins and needles, only to feel that the eyes of the people around her pierced her like steel needles, making her feel extremely embarrassed. The hand placed under the table tore the handkerchief in his hand fiercely, and his eyes were full of resentment.
Shen Xuanye, who noticed the change in her expression, frowned slightly, and already knew in his heart the reason why Shen Linghan and the Zhao family would be completely suppressed by Shen Ninghua these days. Such impatience is useless at any time.
"The eldest sister's gift has been prepared for so long, and it is indeed very attentive." Shen Ninghua started the layout so long in advance, this heart is really too much, don't think that he can't get any news outside.
Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes: "Thank you, Brother Xuanye." "What if you know that she has ulterior motives, tomorrow the whole of Kyoto will know that she Shen Ninghua is the most filial, and she gave the most exquisite embroidery as a congratulatory gift at her grandmother's birthday banquet.
Shen Xuanye lowered his eyes, and the slender eyebrows similar to Shen Linghan were a little more manly, and the heroism of the man became more and more beautiful, but at this time, the eyes under the two eyebrows were cold and wanton. Shen Ninghua can't stay!
Shen Xuanye thought about it, looked up at Shen Linghan, and nodded slightly at her. Shen Linghan was overjoyed and said:
"Grandmother, eldest sister is so attentive, how can I fall behind, I have also prepared a gift, just to give it to my grandmother." She said with a smile, but there was a madness in her eyes that the revenge was about to be avenged, which made people shudder.
Zhao adjusted his smile and looked at Shen Linghan gently: "You girl, you secretly saved your monthly money, and you saved up for a long time to buy this gift, don't sell it, send it to your grandmother." ”
Shen Ninghua looked at Shen Linghan and Zhao, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
Seeing her smile, Shen Linghan trembled, only to feel a chill behind her slowly rising, she almost thought that Shen Ninghua had discovered her and her mother's plan, and then suppressed this thought fiercely, this is the method that Shen Xuanye told them, Shen Ninghua couldn't know at all, besides, even if she knew, she couldn't escape at all!
Xiao said with a smile: "Linghan has a heart, I will make up your monthly money when I go back, but I can't treat my granddaughter badly because I bought a gift for my grandmother." ”
Everyone opened their mouths to praise, and they simply lifted Xiao to the sky, and even she herself thought that she was the most blessed.
Shen Linghan ordered someone to hold up a white jade box, and someone had already blocked the window with a black cloth, and the room was much darker in an instant.
Everyone was feeling strange, but they saw Shen Linghan open the box, and in an instant, a soft light sprayed out. The entire hall was lit up.
"Pearl of the Night ......"
"What a big night pearl, this light is so soft and bright, it's rare in the world."
"yes, it's beautiful."
The crowd continued to talk.
Baili Jinchuan and Baili Jinze, as princes, although they have not seen a better bead than this night pearl, they are also well-informed, and they are not much surprised, but they are the first to come back to their senses. After thinking about it for a while, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, no matter how exquisite and rare the embroidery offered by Shen Ninghua was, I couldn't say anything, after all, the screen was embroidered by a woman herself. But the night pearl that Shen Linghan gave was different, what they had never seen as princes, when they arrived at the Shen family, it was actually used as a gift to please a woman, is the Shen family too prestigious?
Hearing the constant compliments around him, the discomfort in Baili Jinchuan's heart became more and more obvious.
Chu Junyi noticed the change in his mood, and mockingly hooked the corners of his lips, royal, what he is best at is self-righteousness, and he can't see that others are better than them, it really makes people feel extremely disgusted!
Xiao Shi took the night pearl, her eyes were full of admiration, she had never seen such a beautiful pearl, and said with a little excitement: "Linghan is really too attentive." ”
Shen Linghan looked at Shen Ninghua proudly: "Where, if I can get my grandmother's favor, I will be relieved." ”
"Yes, of course, I like it very much."
Xiao Shi took the night pearl and watched it carefully. Shen Linghan opened his mouth and said, "Grandmother, this bead can emit fluorescence in the dark, but it can emit colorful light under the sun, which is really rare in the world." ”
The surrounding maids had untied the black cloth, and the hall was bright, and the beads were really colorful and flowing.
Xiao touched and touched in amazement, and couldn't put it down.
Suddenly, she felt the black light in the beads flash, and subconsciously blinked her eyes, thinking that she was dazzled, and she didn't want to, so she turned the beads in her hand, and the black light flashed again. Xiao Shi frowned violently and wiped the surface of the beads hard, but suddenly felt a stream of water gushing out of the beads, and when her fingers touched the water, she heard a snort, and the severe pain made her scream.
"Ahh
The Night Pearl was thrown to the ground and rolled a few feet away, and water droplets kept dripping out of the beads. As soon as the droplets touched the ground, there was a clattering sound, and the hard stone ground corroded into a small pit.
Xiao's fingers had been in contact with the Night Pearl for a long time, her left hand was fine, only a little bit of corrosion, but the entire index finger and middle finger of her right hand had been broken, and she screamed in pain, almost fainting.
Everyone was stunned, no one expected that such a beautiful night pearl would hide a murderous intention.
Chu Junyi narrowed her eyes and looked at Shen Ninghua, was it her plan?
Shen Linghan trembled, and his face turned pale with fright. She heard Shen Xuanye say that this bead would help her avenge Shen Ninghua's life, but she didn't expect it to be so vicious, and the liquid hidden in the bead could actually corrode the human body.
Shen Ninghua's eyes were cold, and his heart was full of storms and corpses! That bead contained the corpse water that left her bones gone! It seems that his guess is right, it was really Shen Xuanye who handed over the corpse water to Shen Linghan at the beginning! Thinking of the heart-rending pain, Shen Ninghua's heart was full of hatred and murderous intent.
Shen Dong's face turned pale, and he roared angrily at the panicked minions: "Go and ask the imperial doctor, go quickly!" ”
Chu Junyi turned around and motioned to the people around him: "Go and invite Chen Yuanzheng." ”
Shen Dong glanced at him gratefully, and before he had time to say words of thanks, he hurriedly went over and hugged Xiao: "Mother, I have already asked someone to invite Chen Yuanzheng, the imperial doctor will come over soon, you bear with it first." ”
Xiao's whole person was distorted in pain, her wrinkled face was covered with cold sweat, and she gritted her teeth viciously and glared at Shen Linghan: "Okay...... What a disloyal and unfilial ...... Something that you turned out to ...... Hurt me with such a vicious thing! I...... My Shen family doesn't have a daughter like you......"
Shen Linghan fell to his knees with a thud: "No, no, grandmother!" It's not me, I bought this bead from outside, I didn't know it was poisonous. ”
Xiao Shi grabbed Shen Dong tightly: "I...... Don't want to see her, let her ...... Let her ...... Get lost! The Shen family does not have such an evil obstacle! ”
Zhao Shi seemed to be stunned, and hurriedly ran to Shen Linghan's side and knelt down and begged: "Mother, Linghan she just bought something, and she didn't know that there was a problem with this thing, by the way, this bead was bought from Jubaozhai, the shopkeeper must know the origin of this bead, someone must have framed Linghan, master, please be the master of Linghan." ”
Shen Dong looked at Shen Linghan, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, Shen Linghan's performance had made her more and more disappointed these days, who knew if she did it on purpose this time.
Shen Linghan looked up at Shen Dong helplessly: "Father, you must believe it, I am filial to my grandmother, I will not murder my grandmother, I don't know, I really don't know." ”
Shen Xuanye's indifferent eyes moved, Shen Linghan really didn't know the power of this bead, he deliberately didn't tell her, in order to make her look innocent and frightened now. Only in this way will Shen Dong feel distressed and continue to check down.
Sure enough, seeing Shen Linghan's eyes, Shen Dong was still shaken, after all, he had spoiled Shen Linghan for so many years, and he didn't want to believe that his daughter would be so vicious from the bottom of his heart, so he turned to look at the second prince Baili Jinchuan: "Your Highness, this matter ......"
Baili Jinchuan nodded: "Come on, go and invite Jingwei Mansion Yin to come here, and by the way, bring the treasurer of Jubao Zhai and others for questioning." ”
Shen Dong's face was full of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
Soon, Jingwei Mansion Yin and others arrived on front and back, and after meeting Baili Jinchuan and others, Jingwei Mansion Yin understood what had happened, and his face was instantly ugly. The glance in Shen Linghan's eyes was almost like looking at the plague.
Chu Junyi was keenly aware of his expression, and there was a faint guess in his heart, Shen Ninghua must have anything to do with Jingwei Mansion Yin, and he controlled something that made Jingwei Mansion Yin jealous.
Jingwei Mansion Yin: "You are the shopkeeper of Jubao Zhai?" ”
"Lord Hui, it's the grass people."
"Then let me ask you, did you sell this night pearl to Miss Shen?"
Shopkeeper Zhang was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat: "No, the grass people have not sold any night pearls." ”
Shen Linghan immediately spoke up: "Nonsense, a few days ago, I took Yahuan to welcome Xia and Chunxi to buy together, which is the bead you sold me." ”
Jingwei Mansion Yin snorted coldly: "Shopkeeper Zhang, you are so bold, you don't even tell the truth, do you have to use this official to torture you?" ”
The shopkeeper seemed to be frightened, and knelt on the ground and shook like sifting chaff: "The grass people confess, the grass people all confess, my lord, it was the grass people who sold the night pearl to this young lady, but when the grass people sold it, the beads were intact, and they never hid poison." ”
"This bead is unusually valuable at first glance, where did you get it?" Baili Jinchuan frowned and asked.
Shopkeeper Zhang hesitated: "This ...... This ......"
Jingwei Mansion Yin drank coldly: "What does it look like, His Royal Highness the Second Prince asked you if you didn't explain honestly?" ”
"Returning to His Royal Highness, it was a masked woman who came to sell the beads, saying that this bead came from the Xia family and was a family heirloom of the Xia family. The grass people were fascinated for a while, so they bought the beads, thinking of making a big profit. Spare your life. ”
Shen Linghan's eyes widened suddenly: "The things of the Xia family...... The things of the Xia family...... Shen Ninghua, it's you! ”
