Chapter 031: Poisoned and murdered by my aunt
didn't have time to see who the other party was, the lancet in Ling Qingrui's hand had already struck, and it quickly slashed towards the other party.
Those obsidian-like eyes shone with a brilliant light, and with one hand, he stretched out his fingers and lightly pinched the lancet, and before Ling Qingrui could react, he flicked it on the knife.
Ling Qingrui only felt a tremor coming, and her arm was sore, which touched the injury on her arm, and the pain made her grunt.
It seemed that he heard Ling Qingrui's muffled snort, the other party was slightly startled, let go of the lancet in his hand, who knew that the moment he let go, the lancet turned around extremely quickly, and his fingers were almost cut off!
"Hahaha......"
For some reason, the other party suddenly let out a hearty laugh, waved his sleeves, and disappeared into Ling Qingrui's room.
Ling Qingrui was about to spill the medicinal powder in her hand, but who knew that the other party's wave of sleeves made her breath stagnate, and her movements were slow, and it was too late to spill again, so she could only watch the other party disappear into the room.
Woke up by a nightmare and came again, Ling Qingrui didn't feel sleepy at all, got up and took a medical book, but suddenly felt that something was wrong at the bottom of the box, and knocked lightly, and sure enough, it was empty.
The bottom of the box was cocked with a lancet, revealing a copy of the poison scripture inside.
This box of books is said to have been prepared for her by the Ling family a long time ago, and there is actually a poison scripture hidden at the bottom of the box.
Ling, what exactly do you want to do?
Thinking to herself, Ling Qingrui picked up the poison scripture and looked at it carefully.
At dawn, when it was the darkest, Ling Qingrui quietly sent her away amid Mama Wei's extremely reluctant admonition.
On the way back to Bixia Pavilion, the chatter of the two maids that she overheard set off waves in Ling Qingrui's heart, but before she could do anything, as soon as the sky was bright, Mama Chen, who was beside the old lady, came to Bixia Pavilion and invited Ling Qingrui to Aunt Shen's courtyard.
Ling Qingrui cleaned up her face, making her already pale face faintly tinged with a hint of blue and black, as if she was very weak and had not rested well, and walked out with such a face.
Seeing that her face was so bad, Mama Chen's eyes couldn't help but darken, and she said to Ling Qingrui as she walked: "Aunt Shen suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma this morning, but fortunately, the house doctor treated her in time to save her life, and the maid said that Aunt Shen had eaten a bowl of lotus seed soup from yesterday to this morning. ”
Speaking of which, Mama Chen didn't say much more, but Ling Qingrui already understood that Aunt Shen was going to make a fuss about the lotus seed soup she sent, and wanted to force her to come up with the so-called "antidote".
After thanking Mama Chen for her suggestion, the group came to Aunt Shen's courtyard without saying anything else.
In the room, the old lady and the two sisters Liu Wenzhe and Liu Mengxi were all there, and the windows were all open, but there was still a smell of blood.
Ling Qingrui couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of her lips, Aunt Shen was quite ruthless to herself in order to frame her, but she didn't know if she would vomit blood again when her plan failed.
"I've seen my grandmother, I've seen Lord Liu."
Ling Qingrui's voice was slow, and combined with her pale and ugly face, it made people feel that she would fall down at any time.
After Liu Wenzhe saw her face, his expression couldn't help but change slightly, his lips squirmed a few times but he didn't say anything, he turned around and stood in front of the window with his hands, looking extremely indifferent, but no one saw that his eyes were full of worry.
The old lady was also stunned, glanced at her son, and then said, "Rui'er, why is your face so ugly, but you haven't rested well?" ”
"Grandmother doesn't need to worry about ......"
Before Ling Qingrui's words were finished, Liu Mengxi couldn't help but rush out, pointing at Ling Qingrui and shouting, "You actually dare to poison my mother, quickly hand over the antidote!" ”
Hearing this, Ling Qingrui said in confusion: "Didn't my mother just pass away, or did you say when did Liufu have an extra lady?" ”
Only the ladies of the main room, their mothers-in-law can be called mothers or mothers-in-law, even if Aunt Shen is their biological mother, they can only be called aunts.
Seeing that the old lady's eyes were full of sternness, Liu Mengxi still couldn't react, but Liu Mengyan on the side cried pear blossoms with rain stepped forward, knelt down in front of the old lady, and cried: "Please grandmother forgive my sister for her filial piety to her biological mother, she just saw her aunt suffer so much, so she said the wrong thing in a hurry." Grandmother, please save your aunt for the sake of her aunt's filial piety to her grandmother. ”
On Liu Mengyan's small face, tears slipped down like beads with broken threads, and she cried heartbreakingly.
The old lady suddenly felt distressed, and hurriedly asked Liu Mengyan to help her up.
Who knows, Liu Mengyan just got up, turned her head and knelt in front of Ling Qingrui, knocked her head down heavily and begged: "Sister Rui, please let your aunt go, no matter what your aunt does wrong, Yan'er will make amends to Sister Rui for her aunt, I just ask Sister Rui to let her aunt go......"
When Ling Qingrui was about to kneel, she quickly moved a few steps to the side, making Liu Mengyan kneel directly into the air, her kowtow and crying behavior seemed to be against the air, and the scene was heavy for a while with some funny.
Before Liu Mengyan moved her position again, the old lady stood up in distress, personally helped Liu Mengyan up, stroked her little face, and said, "If Yan'er doesn't cry, your aunt will be fine." ”
Seeing that the old lady and father didn't want to punish Ling Qingrui, their fingers clenched fiercely in their sleeves, and cried again: "Grandmother, please let Sister Rui let her aunt go." ”
At this moment, a person suddenly staggered out of the door, and as soon as he came out, he fell to the ground, accompanied by a cough, and the smell of blood became thick again.
"Auntie!" Liu Mengxi and Liu Mengyan exclaimed at the same time and went over to support Aunt Shen.
Aunt Shen's face was pale, there was a trace of blood on her lips, and she said angrily: "Miss Rui, please spare the concubine ......"
No one noticed what a vicious gaze shot out of Aunt Shen's weak and half-open eyes.
Last night, she was still thinking about how to use Mama Wei as a threat to get the antidote from Ling Qingrui, but who knew that it didn't take long to get the news that Mama Wei was rescued.
That's it, Xiaohua is still injured and can't get out of bed!
Xiaohua is familiar with the acupuncture points of the human body with martial arts, but she can't figure out what the other party has done on her, and her whole body has been sore.
It made her almost mad with anger, and even more angry was that her legs started hurting again!
Seeing Ling Qingrui at this time, the resentment in her heart began to rise wildly again, almost irrepressible, and her whole body trembled because of this, but everyone mistakenly thought that she was trembling in pain due to poisoning.
Mingyan came out behind her, knelt on the ground and cried: "Please ask the old lady and the old man to make the decision for the aunt, the aunt has not thought about eating and drinking recently because of the hot weather, and has only drunk the lotus seed soup sent by Miss Rui, who knows that it will be like this, the house doctor said that if it weren't for the aunt's plain body and still healthy, she may have ...... at this time."
"Where's the doctor?" The old lady asked.
The doctor took out a porcelain bowl, and there were still some lotus seed soup left in the porcelain bowl.
The house doctor said: "Old lady, I have checked, and the lotus seed soup in this porcelain bowl has indeed been poisoned. Originally, this poison was a poison that sealed the throat with blood, but at this time, when it was put into soup, the poisoned person would not attack immediately, but would need to wait for a few hours before vomiting blood and dying. If it weren't for Aunt Shen's healthy body, if she was a weak person, I am afraid that there would be no way to return to heaven. ”
"Father, please be the master of your aunt!" Liu Mengyan looked at Liu Wenzhe with teary eyes.
Liu Wenzhe turned around and stared at Aunt Shen and the house doctor, and then said in an indifferent voice: "Rui'er, I know that you hate Aunt Shen because of the death of the Ling family, but you shouldn't be so vicious. ”
"Does Lord Liu mean that I want to admit that I poisoned Aunt Shen?" Ling Qingrui raised her eyes.
Liu Wenzhe was silent, but at this time, it was really chilling than anything else.
"Rui'er, you just hand over the antidote, grandmother promises that she will not be guilty of the past and will not punish you." The old lady hesitated and said.
Ling Qingrui looked at Liu Wenzhe who was indifferent, felt sorry for the old lady who comforted Liu Mengyan, and was so angry that she couldn't wait to bite Liu Mengxi to death, and the maids who were indifferent to the bystanders......
At this moment, Ling Qingrui felt distressed for Rui'er.
Except for the Ling family, where in this world is there anyone who is willing to treat her sincerely.
"Old lady, sir!" Chu Xue threw herself out from behind Ling Qingrui and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Yesterday, Miss ordered the big kitchen to boil lotus seed soup, and then ordered the slave maid to send it to Aunt Shen, and the old lady and the old man also sent the slave and maid, why is the old lady and the old man fine, only Aunt Shen was poisoned?" ”
Mingyan was slightly shocked in her heart, why didn't she find out that this lotus seed soup was also sent to the old lady and the old man's courtyard, but after looking at Aunt Shen's gloomy face, Mingyan bit her lip and said: "Even so, it is an indisputable fact that my aunt was poisoned after drinking lotus seed soup, and it cannot be denied no matter what." ”
Chu Xue raised her head, her round eyes were full of stubbornness, and she said: "The lotus seed soup is a slave and maid sent to each courtyard separately from the kitchen, and the young lady has never touched the lotus seed soup, so how can it be poisoned?" ”
"Then I'm going to ask you." Liu Mengxi gritted his teeth as he said.
Chu Xue kowtowed again and said, "The slave and maid are allowed to be interrogated by the master, but the slave and maid beg the master not to wronged the young lady." ”
Seeing Chu Xue repeatedly defending her, and even taking all the possible blame on herself, Ling Qingrui's heart warmed slightly.
Stretching out her hand to help Chu Xue up, Ling Qingrui said in an indifferent but firm voice: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the old lady and Lord Liu, I don't have the antidote to poison." ”
Without waiting for everyone to say anything, Ling Qingrui raised her eyes to the house doctor, with a sneer on her lips, and said, "The house doctor has seen it accurately, the lotus seed soup was indeed poisoned?" ”
"It's nature."
The house doctor said affirmatively, seeing Ling Qingrui reaching out to take the porcelain bowl, he added: "And the toxicity has already penetrated into the porcelain bowl, if you see blood at this time, it will be difficult to save the immortals, Miss Rui should be careful." ”
"Really?" Ling Qingrui smiled lightly.
With a "pop", the porcelain bowl shattered, followed by a miserable scream!
