Chapter 189: West Garden's exoneration
"Huh? Where did the pillow go? ”
She began to rummage through boxes and cabinets, not even under the bed.
"It can't be that the little young master is sleeping with a pillow again, and he will throw it away when he wakes up, right?"
It's just been a busy time, and the new pillow still doesn't know where to go, so let's wait for the little master to get out of class and ask him well!
She took out an old pillow from the top of the closet, wrapped it in a cloth, and quietly left the East Garden while there was no one around.
It was dawn early the next morning, and neither she nor Ruyu got up, when a shout suddenly came from the yard,
A rush came after a rush.
"Who? What's the noise outside so early? ”
Ruyu poked her head out, but her eyes hadn't opened yet.
Firecrackers also sat up and listened to the sounds in the yard in a daze.
"It's the voice of tranquility....."
"Firecrackers! Firecracker! Are you awake, open the door! ”
"Bang bang bang!"
"Is it Sister Anning?"
Ruyu seemed to hear it.
I didn't have time to put on my shoes, and the firecrackers hurriedly got to the ground barefoot, and just opened the door,
An Ning squeezed in.
"Oh no, something happened...."
"Something?"
Before the firecrackers made a sound, Ruyu on the side asked first,
An Ning heard the voice, and then realized that there was still someone in the house, and hurriedly swallowed the words that had just come to his mouth.
"What's wrong?"
Firecracker asked softly.
"There is movement on the eldest lady's side, and she went to the front yard to make trouble before dawn, and the master just returned home, and she blocked the gate by her."
"What's the matter?"
Ruyu also came to be interested.
"It is estimated that Nanyuan will receive the news in a while, Ruyu, you better go to Nanyuan quickly and wait for your master.
Don't be in a hurry when the old man sends someone to invite. ”
"Huh? Oh.... Oh...."
Ruyu glanced at the firecrackers, saw her nodded slightly, thinking that maybe the eldest lady had come up with some trick to implicate the second lady?
She didn't have time to ask more, she hurriedly got up and got dressed, and hurried to South Park before she had time to wipe her face.
"Why did the eldest lady go to the front yard to make a fuss?"
"Ruyu was here just now, it's inconvenient for me to talk about it in detail, I'm afraid our plan will fall through."
An Ning frowned and looked sad.
"Missed?"
Firecrackers were taken aback when they heard this.
"The eldest lady went to the front yard to complain to the lord, saying that someone in the house wanted to murder her."
"Murder?"
"I received news from the maid in the front yard that the eldest lady was carrying a small bottle of something that I didn't know.
The doctor was summoned to enter the house for inspection, and it turned out to be a poisonous weed, called soul withered grass.
“..... Soul Withered Grass? ”
She seemed to understand what was going on in an instant!
Right! The eldest lady said to the lord that before taking a nap yesterday, she found that her pillow was threaded, so she took it to Aunt Mo to sew it up.
I didn't want to find something hidden in the pillow, and when I touched it, I found a lot of dry grass and scraps.
She thought it was strange, so she asked the doctor to come and identify her, but she didn't want the doctor to tell her that it was a highly poisonous weed.
Looking at the appearance of the grass, it must have been hidden in her pillow for more than a few months, and she must have been unwell recently.
There are also frequent nightmares, and they must be related to this grass......"
An Ning slapped the table fiercely: "She really knows how to sue the wicked first!" That soul withered grass is obviously her own, isn't it? ”
"Could it be that the new pillow I sewed for the little master yesterday was stolen by the eldest lady.
As a result, when I took it back, I found that I had been deceived, and I was shocked to realize that the matter might have been revealed, and I was afraid that we would expose it.
Let's strike first and disguise ourselves as the victims, so that we can no longer use the soul withered grass to accuse her of murdering the old lady!
"Why not? We can also take out the Soul Withered Grass to confront her! ”
An Ning asked anxiously.
"We have no evidence to accuse the eldest lady, in case we inform the prime minister of the old lady, everyone knows that the east and west gardens were secretly poisoned, but the south garden is safe and sound.
Then all public opinion will go straight to the garden! Nanyuan will bear the sin, and the eldest lady took such a step first, just to take us into the army. ”
"Alas! This poisonous woman really thinks of all the tricks of the next three indiscriminate tricks! ”
"It's also because I wasn't careful enough that they were alerted to ....."
Firecrackers are also a headache, I wanted to secretly collect criminal evidence, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger.
"So what do we do now?"
An Ning asked.
"Wait and see what happens, and you must not let her push everything on the second lady,
If she just wants to protect herself, it's okay to say, I'm afraid she has another purpose. ”
Firecrackers put on their clothes and instructed An Ning to send the soul withered grass to Guangmao Hall to prevent people from discovering that they were mistaking drugs, and then became a scapegoat.
In the Dounan Pavilion, the second lady was still sleeping soundly, and no one came to summon her in the front yard.
"Firecrackers, what's wrong? I heard Ruyu say that something happened to Xiyuan? ”
Granny Zhou warmed the second lady's tonic over and over again, but she didn't wake up yet.
"Yes, I said that someone secretly poisoned her."
"She's not going to target Nanyuan again, is she?"
It seems that Granny Zhou knows a lot of things from the second wife.
"I don't know, but we haven't done it, so I'm not afraid of her framing!"
Firecracker took the soup bowl in Zhou's hand and said:
"I'm tired of Granny Zhou's careful attention to Dounan Pavilion and the next room today, beware of what should not be hidden."
"What do you mean?"
"Granny Zhou has always been smart."
"Okay, I'll check it out!"
Granny Zhou understood and took Ruyu into Dounan Pavilion.
"Why is this woman so sleepy? The sun is three poles and you can't get up? ”
And here there are pear blossoms that wake up later than pregnant women.
Breakfast time has passed, and Pear Blossom has come from the small courtyard.
Licking his face, he went into the kitchen to find some leftovers, sat on the stove and chewed on them.
"I said, 'Why did you get up?'
Ruyu looked at her starving ghost-like reincarnation, and shook her head helplessly.
"I just met Steward Li on the road, so I had to take a few maids to help him go to the front yard to tidy up the wings."
"Tidy up the wings? Are there any more guests coming to the house? ”
"Well, but I don't know who it is, but it's the biggest one that comes out, so it must be some kind of distinguished guest....."
Rika chewed the rice in her mouth, and she couldn't say anything clearly.
"I heard that the great benevolent man who came to the mansion last time to hold a banquet is coming again."
The maid named Dongshuang came in with a vegetable bowl.
"Great good man? Oh, I remember, is that Qiu Dashan man? ”
Ruyu slapped her head.
"That's right!" Dongshuang nodded.
"I heard that Qiu Dashan is now a big celebrity in front of the emperor."
"I'm also... Ahem, ahem... I've heard about it too! ”
Rika was anxious to interject, but she didn't want to choke on a mouth full of rice.
"No wonder the prime minister will invite him again and again!"
"I really want to know what Qiu Dashan looks like, will he smile like the Buddha statue in that temple?"
"I hope he will show me kindness and reward me with a few hundred taels of silver.....
Rika put down her rice bowl and wiped her mouth with the corner of her sleeve.
"Don't dream about you! Go and say hello to Madame, or be careful that she scolds you again,
In the future, I will keep you on vigil night after night, and see how you still sleep. ”
Ruyu nodded her head and walked out with the tea set.
As soon as the second lady opened her eyes, Firecracker lay on the side of the bed and told her about the West Garden.
"What? Someone is going to poison her? ”
The second lady sneered: "This person is too useless!" Why didn't she poison her, but she found out......"
"Madam, now is not the time to say this, I'm afraid she intends to target Nanyuan."
"And you want to blame me for this? I'm still with a big belly! How can you care about her? ”
"Because of this, she has more excuses to push it on Madame."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Madame forgot Jiang's child?"
"Jiang?"
"At the beginning, the eldest lady bought the Jiang family, just to use her to frame the lady for killing her son, and the wishful thinking of the last time failed, and it is inevitable that she will not do it again.
And this time, she may be gambling on herself! ”
"She wanted to take advantage of my pregnancy to make the lord think that I wanted to take the opportunity to take the position, so she was eliminated before the child landed?"
"Not impossible."
"So how do we deal with it?"
The second lady touched her stomach and fell into deep thought.
"Madame, don't worry, Madame only needs to recuperate in Dounan Pavilion, don't worry about anything, and leave the rest to the slaves."
Firecrackers soothed her.
"It's still your best use, and I won't yell at you next time."
The second lady smiled playfully and then advised: "You have to be careful outside, be careful of being shaded by Cheng Nianxi." ”
"Madame, rest assured....."
