Chapter 198: Strategizing
Qi Minzhi was slightly surprised: "Learn light skills? How did you come up with the idea of learning this? ”
Ye Tanghua smiled: "It's better to ask for others than for yourself, instead of counting on you to save me every time, it's better for me to learn kung fu to protect myself, now many people can see it, with me have a thousand reasons and all kinds of cleverness, but when I am alone, I can't even help a scoundrel, as the saying goes, take precautions." Rather than wait for them to attack me, I should first learn how to protect myself. ”
"Reasonable, reasonable......" Qi Minzhi nodded, and frowned again: "But isn't there that Yuqiu by your side?" That girl's skills are by no means under Mofu, with her, what else do you want Mofu to do? ”
Ye Tanghua pursed her lips: "Although Yuqiu's skills are good, but most of them are hurtful moves, firstly, I can't learn it, secondly, I just learned, and it is difficult to compete with those practitioners. ”
Qi Minzhi nodded and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside, and hurriedly tore off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and stuffed it into Ye Tanghua's hand: "This is a token that can dispatch Mofu, you take it first, I can't stay for a long time, so I'll leave first, if there is something to find me, let Mofu send me a message, and ...... Take care of yourself. ”
Qi Minzhi said, gently pinched Ye Tanghua's little hand, and when Ye Tanghua was stunned, the small door of the Artesian Frost Pavilion sneaked out.
"Hey, is it a slave's delusion? Why did you seem to see a figure faintly just now? Yuqiu, who came in later, naturally didn't see Qi Minzhi's figure, but with the killer's intuition, he still felt the residual breath of life in the house, and couldn't help frowning, first to see if Ye Tanghua was injured.
Ye Tanghua waved her hand: "No one came, I don't know if you admit your mistake, what can you find in the Zhiyu Pavilion?" ”
Then Yu Ge, who followed up, replied with a bitter face: "Miss, the slaves and maids have checked, but there are only a few small pieces of antique ornaments missing, and they are all worth less than ten taels of silver." ”
Ye Tanghua was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help frowning deeply: "But it's accurate?" Don't miss something precious and haven't checked it, right? ”
Yuge shook his head: "The slaves and maids have confirmed again and again, and there are indeed so many things missing, and the slaves and maids have also ordered them three times, saying that everything is missing, but they have to report everything, but there are not less things, but more than the same, after Miss Chen came back from the temple, somehow there was a small pearl hairpin on her head, and the maids also asked, Miss Chen only said that she picked it up on the road, and she couldn't say it clearly, but her things The slaves and maids have also picked it up, and there is really no thing in our Ye Mansion......"
Ye Tanghua fell into deep thought, if Chen Jiao used the silver brought from the Chen family to hire the murderer, she would never believe it, the Chen family didn't have the financial resources at all, not to mention that Chen Jiao also hired so many people at one time, this time the splash is not counted, the scoundrel gathered a large number of minions last time, if it was just three or five taels of silver to make money, why was that person so serious?
"That's it, let's put these first, the charge of hiring the murderer of that girl has been decided, it doesn't matter if this charge of theft is seated or not, we just need to remember that there is such a thing, and then it will be Mrs. Fang's business." Ye Tanghua said this, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Chen Jiao wanted to blame her for Mrs. Fang's death at that time, but she evaded it with a little trick, although the matter passed like this, but is this grudge just settled? Why didn't she fight back because Chen Jiao hurt her?
Ye Tanghua smiled a little coldly, it was true that she took the sesame cake matter on herself at that time, and when she took it out, she also cleared Chen Jiao's suspicions, but why did she carry the black pot for Chen Jiao?
Because of this, when she was fighting this for Chen Jiao, she also secretly kept an eye on it: there was indeed poison in the sesame cake, and she did poison it in the sesame cake, but what if the poison in the sesame cake was not the one she ordered?
She beckoned and motioned for Chunshui to come closer: "You and Yuge go out, go to the pharmacy near Yefu to find out, and see if there are any people who have seen Chen Jiao in recent days, if so, you must ask clearly, what kind of medicine did the girl go to buy!" ”
Chunshui and Yuge nodded and went out one after the other, Ye Tanghua looked at Qin Xin again: "Go to the old lady Fang's house to find out, see if there are any clues, Chen Jiao may not have used up all the poison she bought, there are many people in Ye's mansion, and she can't throw the poison away at will, it is easy to be seen, there are always people serving in her house, and she can't hide the poison in her own house, so the place where she is most likely to hide the poison is Lanyue Xuan, which was sealed because of the dead person, you must look carefully, Maybe Mrs. Fang will also leave any clues, but not necessarily. ”
Qin Xin also left, and the rest of the room was Ye Tanghua and Yuqiu, at this time Ye Tanghua raised her head: "Yuqiu, what you have to do next is the most important part, you come here with your ears ......"
Yuqiu leaned down suspiciously, listened to Ye Tanghua's words in her ear, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Miss, this, can this work?" ”
"What's not to do? It is better to say that only in this way can we achieve our goal...... You have also seen our Qingtian master, just with that timid and fearful character, if he doesn't make a big fuss, he will seriously try this case? Either we don't do it, or if we do, we have to kill it with one blow, and if we don't force Master Li to the point where it is difficult to ride a tiger, how can he be honest? ”
Yuqiu nodded: "The slave understands, so I will do what the eldest lady tells me." "Anyway, Yuqiu also went out, but instead of the gate, he sneaked out through the small door behind the Flowing Frost Pavilion.
At this time, Ye Tanghua was the only one left in the room, she hooked the corners of her lips slightly, her eyebrows and eyes were sharp, and she didn't look like she was docile and modest in front of people.
Chen Jiao, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, your retribution will come soon, bear it slowly! Those who dare to calculate her are not so easy to get rid of!
On the other side, in the Lu family's teahouse, the Lu family was still arguing over whether Lu Xiu'er should marry into the Ye family, Lu Xiu'er's second uncle Lu Erzhuang was a person with a bad temper, and at this time he had already opened his throat and shouted: "What is our Lu family bad about?" With Xiu'er's appearance, how much worse is it than those ladies? In my opinion, it's not too much for Xiu'er to marry someone else to be the grandmother of the main house, why should she enter his Ye family as a concubine! ”
Lu Xiu'er's father, Lu Dali, shook his head and sighed: "The second child also thinks about it more simply, don't forget, no matter how rich our family is, the identity of this beggar can't be washed away, who can take a fancy to us from a powerful family?" Where can we afford to have no money and no power! ”
Lu Erzhuang shouted: "Isn't our family going to get rid of the identity of a beggar soon!" What is there to be worthy of by then? ”
Lu Dali sighed: "Second child, don't forget, our family is now going to get rid of the identity of this beggar, but we still have to point to the Ye family!" ”
Lu Erzhuang snorted nonchalantly: "So what? What we are counting on is Lord Ye, not the little girl who is used to having bad ideas! ”
At this time, Uncle Lu, who had been smoking a cigarette pouch, spoke: "What's the matter, second brother, do you think that this Lord Ye is better than Miss Ye to speak?" ”
Lu Erzhuang was speechless, indeed, Ye Tanghua has also taken care of the Lu family these days, compared to the Lord Ye who they couldn't see at all, it was indeed Ye Tanghua who was more friendly.
Lu Dali looked at Uncle Lu: "Father, can you give me an idea?" ”
Uncle Lu took another puff of cigarette, spit out a few smoke rings, raised his half-open eyelids, and looked at Lu Xiu'er, who had been lowering his head: "Xiu'er, you are a person who has an idea in your heart, you should make your own decision on this matter!" After all, our uncles and elders are not yourself, and we don't understand your mind, if you want, you can agree, if you don't want to, it doesn't matter, didn't Miss Ye say it? Whether you agree or not, she will help us if we have to be busy, and now it mainly depends on your mind. ”
Uncle Lu said, for a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Xiu'er's body, Lu Xiu'er's little face turned red, bit her lower lip, and raised her face: "Grandpa, if this matter can really depend on me, I... I want to get married! ”
Lu Erzhuang was angry for a while, and shouted indiscriminately: "Xiu'er, can't you be a little promising!" It's not good to be a wife, I want to be a concubine for others! ”
Lu Xiu'er looked at Lu Erzhuang, and the corners of her lips provoked a smile: "I will be a concubine for Lord Ye, in the future, my child will be the son of Shangshu, the mother is expensive by her son, and I will not be too depressed, although the wife has face, but it also depends on what kind of family it is, like the handsome brother of the second uncle's family, the wife has not yet married, and the concubine has made two troubles, I just married it, and I am not angry!" ”
Lu Erzhuang was told by Lu Xiu'er, and his old face turned red all of a sudden, although he was still unwilling, but he was embarrassed to say anything, and hummed and stepped aside without interjecting.
Seeing that Lu Xiu'er was sarcastic about her husband through her son, Second Aunt Lu couldn't sit still, so she immediately squinted her eyes and sneered: "Xiu'er, that's not what you said, how old are you this year, how old is Ye Shangshu this year?" If you are a concubine for others, you are an aunt if you say it well, but if you don't listen to it, isn't it just a little wife? If you are the wife of Brother Jun, you are in charge of the little wife below, if you marry into the Ye family, you have to obey the management of the eldest wife, you calculate this account yourself, how is it appropriate! ”
Lu Xiu'er hooked the corners of her lips and raised her eyes to look at Aunt Lu: "Second Aunt doesn't understand the Ye family's affairs when she hears this, although the Ye family has a main room above, but I enter the door This matter is the main room for me, in the future, as long as I am careful and diligent, there is no no, but among the three or four fox spirits in your house, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp?" ”
