Chapter 147: Poison is in danger
Su Zhaoning got off the carriage at the gate of the Hussar General's Mansion, although the person who made the post was Chen Yurui, but since he got off the carriage here, Su Zhaoning was ready to meet Chen Tianyang.
To her surprise, from the door to the garden of the mansion, Chen Yurui did not have Chen Tianyang by her side.
Aside from Chen Tianyang, it is very easy to get along with Chen Yurui.
Just like having a soft spot for osmanthus cakes in the Mansion, Chen Yurui was also very focused on eating when she entertained Su Zhaoning.
From the practice of pastries like this to the difference in the taste of those snacks, Chen Yurui's topic has not left a word.
Although Su Zhaoning is not a person who pays special attention to appetite, everyone likes delicious things.
She tasted a few things in turn according to Chen Yurui's instructions.
The taste of each one is really as Chen Yurui said, and even the types of pastries she has eaten in the past are far inferior to those in front of her.
Su Zhaoning's carefulness has become a habit.
Among these many kinds of pastries, there is no Chen Yurui's favorite osmanthus cake.
She couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Yurui, have you changed your taste recently, and you don't like osmanthus cakes?" ”
Chen Yurui shook her head, looked at the food in front of her with a sad face, and replied, "How can I get tired of eating something so easily." It's just that the cook in my family has never been able to make the taste of the eldest princess of Chaoyang's house. The more I ate the inferior, the more I missed the good taste. ”
"So, I simply don't want them to make osmanthus cakes." Chen Yurui looked sad.
Chen Yurui and Chen Tianyang are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother. Her watery, talking eyes look like Chen Tianyang.
This suffocating and regretful appearance made Su Zhaoning couldn't help but feel a little funny. She pushed the pastry in front of her towards Chen Yurui and asked, "None of these are what you like?" ”
Chen Yurui pressed her chest, looked at Su Zhaoning pitifully, and replied, "Three thousand weak water, I will only take one scoop." ”
Looking at her like this, Su Zhaoning's smile was completely revealed.
Seeing Su Zhaoning's smile on the side, Chen Yurui also smiled reassuringly.
originally paid attention to this second girl Su, Chen Yurui just felt that anyone other than An Yi would be her sister-in-law.
But the more she intersected with Su Zhaoning, Chen Yurui felt that this Sister Su was a very likable character.
It is said that the eldest girl of the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an is the best at dealing with people and making people get along happily. But Chen Yurui felt that her sister Su made people feel more comfortable to get along with.
Just like when she was in the Mansion, she showed an unusual preference for osmanthus cake in front of the other party, Sister Su did not despise her, and did not indulge her.
When she reminded herself, although she only had one sentence, Chen Yurui could feel Su Zhaoning's sincerity.
It would be nice if Sister Su could be her sister-in-law.
But if not, Chen Yurui is also willing to become good friends with Su Zhaoning.
When two equally sincere people intersect, time flies. By the time Su Zhaoning was about to leave, it was already late.
Until Su Zhaoning left the Hussar General's Mansion, Chen Tianyang did not meet him.
Su Zhaoning guessed that this Chen Xiao General had finally given up on himself. She doesn't feel sorry.
At this time, the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Mansion and Chang'an Marquis Mansion were very unpeaceful.
On Tuesday, the young lady was poisoned and her life hung by a thread.
In the Hou Mansion of Chang'an, Old Madam Hou faced the messenger of the Zhou Mansion, and her voice trembled.
She asked in disbelief: "You mean, Zhenyi, Zhenyi is poisoned, it's not good?" ”
The mother-in-law who came to the Zhou Mansion to deliver the message replied very affirmatively, and she replied: "My wife wants to ask Mrs. Hou to decide which people will go to our house, otherwise I am afraid that the last face of the second young lady will not be seen." ”
"Ridiculous!" Old Madam Hou felt a pain in her heart, and reprimanded heavily: "The good girl in my house married the Zhou family, and now it has been less than a year, or even half a year, and she has been poisoned and is going to die." Shouldn't your Zhou family give us an explanation? ”
The mother-in-law from the Zhou family looked unattractive, but in fact she was the nurse of the Bai family. In the face of the harsh rebuke of the old lady of the Chang'an Hou Mansion, the mother-in-law did not have the slightest panicked look.
She lowered her head and replied: "The second young lady is the young lady of the Su family, and she is also the young lady of our Zhou family. She is now poisoned, and what is more anxious than you, Old Madam Hou, is our lady and our second young master. It's not that Madam and Second Young Master don't want to save Second Young Madame, but the poisoning is that there is no antidote to save it! ”
The mother-in-law continued in a calm voice: "Yes, the old slave came to ask to see Mrs. Hou. ”
"Without an antidote, can't you investigate who poisoned it? What does it mean to come directly to the Hou Mansion of Chang'an, you ......" Old Madam Hou's voice stopped abruptly.
She understood the meaning of the words of the mother-in-law of the Zhou Mansion.
Inviting the people from the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion to come over, on the surface, they said that they wanted to meet Su Zhenyi for the last time, but in fact, they came to ask for an antidote.
Old Madam Hou's face turned red with anger, if it was someone from another mansion in front of her at this time, and dared to talk to her like this, Old Madam Hou would have to beat the other party out with a stick.
But this person is from the Zhou family, and he is from the Ministry of Rites.
Old Madam Hou is not afraid of the power of the Zhou family.
She just remembered how the Bai family used humiliating ways to propose Su Zhenyi.
The Bai family obviously had evidence that Su Zhenyi had calculated Zhou Ruoqian, but she didn't take it out before, pretending to be confused.
After calling out several girls from the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an, and even the two ladies were involved, the Bai family did not hurry to come up with ironclad evidence.
Old Madam Hou didn't believe it, this time the Bai family had no evidence in their hands.
"Who is it, you can just say it." Old Madam Hou said to the mother-in-law in front of her.
When the mother-in-law heard this, she had some agreement with the old lady of Chang'an.
This old lady Hou doesn't seem to be confused.
The mother-in-law bowed forward, took out something from her sleeve, and handed it to Mrs. Hou: "Mrs. Hou, this is the handkerchief used by the captured maid to wrap the poison." The maid said that she didn't know each other, only that the other party claimed to be the sister of our second young lady. ”
Mrs. Hou clenched her hand, let go again, stretched out her fingers with some twitches, and took the handkerchief herself.
Holding back the anger in her heart, she asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
The mother-in-law shook her head and replied, "No." ”
"It's just that the situation of the second young lady is no longer good, and I ask the old lady Hou to make a decision as soon as possible." The mother-in-law added.
If she said such disrespectfully, Mrs. Hou also swallowed it alive.
She immediately raised her voice and ordered: "Invite all the ladies to me!" ”
The expression on the mother-in-law's face became a little relaxed.
Sure enough, the idea she gave to her wife was right. The second young lady is not liked by the second young master, and there is no one in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites who wants her life.
On the contrary, it is the maiden family of the second young lady, but the Chang'an Hou Mansion is very suspicious.
Besides, even if the person who poisoned him was not from the second young lady's mother's family, this crime must not be borne by the Zhou family.
Su Roujia, Su Rouhui, and the fifth girl, Su Wanjing, who is still young, Su Yingying and the eighth girl, were also invited over.
Old Madam Hou glanced at her granddaughters and asked, "Where is Ning Yatou?" ”
"The second lady took the post from the Hussar General's Mansion and went out to Miss Chen's appointment." Mama Lian, who was in charge of inviting people, replied.
Old Madam Hou hesitated, but still did not order someone to go and immediately invite Su Zhaoning back.
After all, he went to the Hussar General's Mansion, and it was already obvious that General Chen Xiao was interested in Ning Yatou.
If you go to find someone, maybe the ugliness of the family will be directly publicized.
Old Madam Hou lowered her face and asked the five granddaughters in front of her: "Who of you belongs to this veil?" ”
Su Roujia looked at the handkerchief in Mrs. Hou's hand, she calmly took two steps forward, and said to Mrs. Hou: "Grandmother, how about giving this handkerchief to your granddaughter to take a closer look?" ”
Old Madam Hou remembered what Su Jinyu had said not long ago, and suddenly felt a knot in her heart for this eldest granddaughter who was originally very satisfied.
This eldest granddaughter has a criminal record.
once borrowed the hand of Zhenyi girl to calculate Ning girl.
Although Ning Yatou and Zhenyi Yatou used to be at odds, the one who really has the most reason to hate Zhenyi should be this eldest granddaughter.
For the sake of her mother, for her brother, or for herself, Su Roujia has a reason to hate Su Zhenyi.
The appearance of Su Zhenyi and Su Jinxuan is undoubtedly a slap in the face to Mrs. Hou's Da Huang family's long-thought back house in her own grasp.
Su Zhenyi's younger brother Su Jinxuan may not be a stumbling block for Su Jinyu to inherit the position of Marquis of Chang'an.
It was Su Zhenyi herself, who also changed Su Roujia's identity as the only concubine of the long house.
Su Roujia felt her grandmother's gaze.
This gaze seems to be more than the kindness of the past.
Su Roujia quietly handed the veil to Su Rouhui, and while observing the face of Mrs. Hou, she asked Su Rouhui, "Fourth sister, see if this veil is familiar?" ”
"Why do I look familiar!" Su Rouhui suddenly took two steps back. It was as if she had been stepped on and her feet hurt.
Su Roujia didn't miss Old Madam Hou's eyes that shifted from the past.
It's suspicion.
In her grandmother's eyes, there was suspicion.
was suspicious of her at first, and as the veil was handed to Su Rouhui, the suspicious gaze fell on Su Rouhui.
Su Roujia quietly went to observe the extra person in the room.
The mother-in-law who came to report the news from the Zhou Mansion had already stood silently in the corner when these girls from the Chang'an Marquis Mansion came in.
But her face, which was not familiar, still fell into Su Roujia's eyes.
It seems to have something to do with this woman.
This woman takes a closer look, and it seems that she is still a little familiar.
Su Roujia struggled to remember where she had seen this woman.
Su Rouhui had already recognized the other party.
That woman is clearly a descendant of the Zhou Mansion.
So, something happened to Su Zhenyi!
Su Rouhui looked up at Old Madam Hou and asked, "Grandmother, is something going on, why did you suddenly ask us to recognize the veil?" ”
"Recognize it first." Old Madam Hou is suspicious of everyone now.
After Su Zhenyi got married, she did have a preference for Su Rouhui for a while.
But people are very affectionate about the things they like first, whether they are people.
Compared with Su Rouhui, Mrs. Hou cares more about Su Zhenyi.
Su Rouhui's heart was beating fast, she glanced at the handkerchief hurriedly, and replied, "I don't know, let's show the fifth sister." ”
The fifth girl stepped forward and generously took the veil, and after carefully discerning it, she replied, "This veil is not mine either." That's not the way I stitch, and the most commonly used veils aren't these colors. ”
In fact, the seven girls Su Yingying and the eighth girl in the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion are only six years old, and they can't be poisoned at all.
But in the face of the obvious displeasure of the grandmother who sat on the seat, the two little girls took the initiative to take the handkerchief and take it seriously.
The seventh girl, Su Yingying, also took out her own handkerchief from her arms, put the two handkerchiefs together, and replied, "This is definitely not my handkerchief." ”
Although the eighth girl did not come out with her own handkerchief, she beckoned her maid to come in: "Give me your handkerchief." ”
Miss Su Ba commanded her personal maid.
Although the maid did not know why, she still took out her veil very neatly and obediently.
The handkerchief brought by the mother-in-law of the Zhou family is an ordinary silk embroidered handkerchief. But in addition to the girls in each room, but in fact, the first-class maids around the girls may not have such a good veil.
Old Madam Hou was inspired, so she ordered the rest of the first-class maids to also hand over the handkerchiefs.
Each master in the house has two first-class maids. It was obviously unrealistic for all the first-class maids to squeeze in.
But it was not a problem to hand over the handkerchief.
Su Roujia had vaguely guessed that today's events were unusual.
Su Rouhui was panicked when she mentioned Lao Gao with a heart.
She guessed that something must have happened to Su Zhenyi.
Napazi......
Su Rouhui couldn't help but look at the handkerchief in Mrs. Hou's hand again.
She finally remembered.
When he handed over the arsenic cream to the maid of the Zhou Mansion, he casually wrapped the medicine paper bag with a handkerchief.
Where did you get the veil from?
All the handkerchiefs of the subordinates were collected, and looking at the pile of handkerchiefs, Su Rouhui finally remembered where she came from.
She asked the maid for it.
It's her own first-class maid.
Su Rouhui's forehead suddenly began to sweat.
She couldn't afford to sit still.
She and Su Zhenyi have no grudges or hatreds, and the person who has resentment and hatred should be Su Zhaoning.
Su Rouhui pressed her lower abdomen and said to the old lady Hou, "Granddaughter will retire for the time being." ”
Old Madam Hou didn't want to agree to Su Rouhui leaving, but looking at her movements, she had some clarity in her heart.
I was afraid that the four granddaughters were going to the clean room, so she nodded and said, "Go and come back quickly." ”
Su Rouhui immediately walked out.
She called her maid over and ordered, "You go to the second young master and tell him that the third young lady was poisoned by the second young lady." Now the people of the Zhou Mansion have found the Chang'an Hou Mansion, but the second lady ran to the Hussar General's Mansion. ”
"With the hussar general escorting, I'm afraid the second lady will escape." Su Rouhui didn't stop doing it, and said to the maid, "You tell the second young master that if he wants to avenge the killing of his sister, I'm afraid he can only rely on himself." ”
Su Rouhui believes that after coming down like this, the charge of poisoning must be carried by Su Zhaoning.
