Deep Resentment Chapter 5
One evening, Luo Jiu was eating dinner in the house, and she was still holding an ancient book in her hand.
Since moving into Jihe Courtyard that day, Luo Jiu has been staying in the courtyard with the word of nourishing his body, even if the Li family asked Luo Jiu to see her many times, Luo Jiu couldn't shirk it.
And Luo Sheng also has the right to be Luo Jiu's child, who naturally holds a grudge against the Li family in every way before, and lets her go, after all, Luo Jiu is now his most important chess piece.
A white bird suddenly flew outside the window, landing firmly on Luo Jiu's shoulder, and its small red beak gently pecked Luo Jiu's earlobe.
Only then did Luo Jiu put down the things in his hand, this white bird was used by himself to contact Nu Ji. Now that he is under Luo Sheng's surveillance, he will eventually reveal the clues of frequently letting Hua Sheng enter and leave Luofu.
This bird is small in size and fast, making it difficult to attract the attention of others.
Looking at the note untied from the white bird's claws, Luo Jiu couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, it seems that someone can't stay still after all, but it's okay, it's better to push the boat with the water.
Hua Sheng had been waiting by Luo Jiu's side, and suddenly saw Luo Jiu laughing, so he asked, "Miss, but there is news from Sister Nu Ji's side again?" ”
Luo Jiu nodded, "Luo Chen has already cultivated his own power in secret, and his good sister seems to have a somewhat unclear relationship with the current one. ”
As long as Luo Sheng casually let one or two pieces of news, these two siblings would not be able to eat and walk around, but Luo Jiu would not do this.
For her, what she wanted to target was only Luo Sheng from beginning to end. Although she also hated the Li family, the Li family only acted on Luo Sheng's face.
Hua Sheng nodded, "Then what do you want to do, Miss?" ”
"Wait."
"Wait?"
Hua Sheng seemed to be a little puzzled, but Luo Jiu was surprisingly calm, "We have to wait, wait for Luo Sheng to send it to the door himself." ”
As soon as the words fell, a delicate female voice sounded outside, "Miss, the eldest lady has a message from there, I hope you will go now." ”
It was one of the maids sent by Luo Sheng that day, Hua Shang, who spoke.
Luo Jiu hit a Hatche, does this Li family want to see him so much? Originally, he wanted to refuse, but as if he remembered something, Luo Jiu said lightly: "I know, I'll go over now." ”
When I arrived at Li's courtyard, I saw Liu kneeling under the willow tree before I entered the door, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, but he was still holding a string of Buddhist beads tightly in his hand.
Luo Jiu couldn't help but her face sank, she walked in front of Liu, and was about to help Liu up, but Hua Yue, who was standing outside the house, spoke.
"Third Miss, the eldest lady said, let you go in and see the eldest lady directly after you come, if you don't come, let the second lady kneel here."
The movement of Liu's hand paused, raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Luo Jiu, revealing a miserable white smile and shaking his head slightly.
Luo Jiu clenched his fists and said lightly: "Then I'll go see the eldest lady now." ”
Just now, when she held Liu's hand, her body couldn't help it, Liu's body was hot, but her face was extremely pale.
When she let go, she hurriedly glanced at it, the bloodshot under Liu's eyes was very obvious, and her lips were abnormally purple, which was a sign of poisoning......
As soon as she walked to the door, Hua Yue stretched out her hand to stop Hua Sheng, "Third Miss, the eldest lady has explained, and only let you go in alone." ”
Luo Jiu nodded, and Hua Sheng walked to Liu's side, wanting to shield him from the cold wind.
After entering the house, Li was reclining on a soft couch and pretending to sleep, with sandalwood burning on one side. There was also a steaming cup of tea on the table, which Li clearly did on purpose.
"Xiao Jiu has seen the eldest lady."
However, Li didn't pay attention to Luo Jiu's meaning, but said to Hua Yue, who was standing aside, "It's a little hot this day, why don't you open the window faster?" ”
"Yes."
Hua Yue quickly opened all the windows, and the cold wind kept pouring into the house, and the house was filled with cold air in an instant.
After about a quarter of an hour, Li said, "Why is the third girl still standing?" Sit down quickly, the master has explained, the three girls are cold, and they must not catch a cold. ”
"Big lady, I don't know what happened to my mother, and the big lady wants my mother to kneel outside?"
Hua Shang didn't mention the Liu family when he said it, if he didn't come, he really didn't know when the Li family would let the Liu family kneel!
I originally thought that the people in my yard were all from Luo Sheng, but I didn't expect that there were still people from the Li family, and it seemed that it was time to rectify it after I went back.
Li Shi was not in a hurry, she slowly raised her hand to signal, Hua Yue nodded and threw a villain in red in front of Luo Jiu.
The villain was full of needles, and there was a note pasted on it, and Luo Sheng's name was written on it!
In an instant, Luo Jiu understood a little in his heart, such a method really couldn't be put on the table, but it was extremely effective.
I think it was because I refused to see the Li family everywhere in the past few days, and the Li family held a grudge, so I thought of using the Liu family to give myself a dismount.
Li Shi said slowly: "We all know that your mother is quiet, so let her live in the courtyard of the nearest Buddhist hall, but I didn't expect to do such a thing." ”
"I haven't told the master about this yet, I called you here to discuss this matter, what do you think I should do?"
Luo Jiuqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a flat tone: "It's just a villain, and the eldest lady has no direct evidence, right?" ”
Li Shi waved his hand lightly, and Hua Yue retreated and closed the door.
She took a sip of tea lightly and continued to say calmly: "Xiao Jiu has been busy with something big recently? I want to consult your life's work for you, but you are gone. ”
Is it really because of this?
Luo Jiu took a deep breath, knelt down directly in front of the Li family, and said word by word: "Big lady, it's Xiao Jiu's childlike nature, which makes the big lady unhappy." ”
The corners of Li's mouth curved slightly upward, what if the lord values Luo Jiu now? What if you marry into the Yunchuan Palace?
It's always a cheap life! What if you move out of the Lockqiu Pavilion? When you see yourself, you don't have to bow your head and kneel down obediently......
"What do you mean, three girls?"
"Xiao Jiu didn't understand humility before, but now it's a big mistake before. The eldest lady, please punish, Xiao Jiu has no complaints! ”
Li Shi hit a hatch and said lazily: "This villain was indeed found in your mother's house, Xiao Jiu, you should understand the seriousness of this matter." ”
Luo Jiu clenched his sleeves tightly, tried his best to stabilize his emotions, and said lightly: "Big lady, this matter can be big or small, don't worry your father recently." ”
"Also, this matter is still inconclusive, and I categorically will not let your mother be wronged."
"Mrs. Xie......"
Li continued: "By the way, Xi'er's abdominal pain has been committed again recently, and I can't rest assured that others will take care of me, Xiao Jiu, are you willing to take care of your eldest sister?" ”
Luo Jiu said in a low voice: "Naturally, I am willing, the eldest sister is cold, I should take more care of it." ”
Li slowly got down from the soft couch, still holding the unfinished cup of tea in her hand, she walked in front of Luo Jiu, and a cup of tea poured down.
She corrected word by word: "It's a service, not a care." ”
Seeing that Luo Jiu was still bowing his head, Li's mood improved a lot, "Get up, don't kneel anymore." ”
Luo Jiu stood up tremblingly, and saw that Li's mood had improved a lot, so he said, "Big lady, my mother ......"
Li Shi walked back slowly, "Oh, I see that Liu's health doesn't seem to be very good, you better take her back first, I will definitely find out about this matter." ”
Luo Jiu took one last look at the villain on the ground, picked it up, and put it into his cuffs, and the Li family had no intention of stopping it.
Seeing Luo Jiu come out, Hua Sheng hurriedly helped Liu Shi up beside him, slightly flustered.
Liu stretched out his hand to wipe the tea off Luo Jiu's face, but as soon as his hand was raised, the whole person fell backwards.
Hua Sheng hurriedly caught Liu's weak body, and looked at Luo Jiu at a loss, "Miss......"
Luo Jiu frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Go back to Jihe Courtyard first, and then go find a doctor." ”
The two hurriedly took Liu back to Jihe Courtyard, and as soon as they returned to the courtyard, Hua Sheng ran out in a panic, leaving only Luo Jiu's instructions in his mind.
Luo Jiu looked at the sleeping Liu family on the bed, full of anxiety and pity, although Liu was not his biological mother, but she was definitely good at treating herself.
In her own eyes, she is her own mother!
She held Liu's hands tightly, but her own hands were also cold and didn't play a big role.
Although he is an excellent poisoner, he has no method in detoxification, and if he fights poison with poison, he is afraid that he will not be able to stand it according to Liu's body.
At this time, Hua Sheng walked in with a basin of hot water, "Miss, let's wipe Madame's body with a hot towel first." ”
But at this time, Luo Jiu was on the verge of rage, she glared at Hua Xiang, and said coldly: "Didn't you say it?" Except for me and Hua Sheng, no one else is allowed in this house! ”
Hua Sheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and said with a crying voice: "Miss, the slave maid is just for the good of the lady!" ”
But Luo Jiu didn't continue to say anything, so Hua Sheng walked over boldly and carefully wiped Liu's face in front of Luo Jiu.
After a while, I don't know if the hot water played a role, and Liu's complexion gradually returned to normal complexion.
Luo Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, the poison in Liu's body was definitely not something that could be eaten in a day, and it was not considered poison.
Instead, it was the toxins that accumulated from eating the clashing food for a long time, and Luo Jiu would never believe that it was just an accident.
She looked at Hua Shang's face and softened a little, and she said weakly, "You go down first." ”
But Hua Sheng suddenly knelt down and cried directly, constantly wiping the tears that kept flowing down with her sleeves.
In the past, Luo Jiu may still ask a few words, but today Luo Jiu just felt upset and irritable, "If you have something to say, just say it!" What is the system of crying and crying? ”
Hua Sheng choked up and said: "Miss, I was originally the maid on the side of the second lady, and since the second lady lived in that courtyard, the lady was afraid that I would be implicated, so she forcibly pushed the slave maid to the dining room. ”
"Since staying in the dining room, I have taken care of the second lady's meals everywhere, and no one has touched them. Apart from...... Except for ......"
Luo Jiu turned his head, "Go on." ”
"Except for the person who delivers the meal, the eldest lady personally serves it every day!"
Hearing this, Luo Jiu's eyes narrowed dangerously, Luo Xi?
Luoxi has a good relationship with the Liu family on weekdays, and the Liu family treats Luoxi very well, perhaps because the Liu family teaches Luoxi female workers.
And Luo Xi has never done anything evil, and it is good to treat people, but he has never doubted her.
Seeing Liu's face, the chill in Luo Jiu's eyes became a little thicker, "Then why did you just say now that you didn't warn the second lady as soon as possible?" ”
Hua Sheng seemed to be holding back her crying, "The slave maid has never found anything wrong, I only found out about the conversation between the eldest lady and the eldest lady when I passed by the Hanchun Courtyard yesterday!" ”
"What did they say?"
But before Hua Sheng could answer, Hua Sheng walked in with a white-bearded old man.
Hua Sheng glanced at the kneeling Hua Sheng and said coldly: "Don't go out yet!" ”
Luo Jiu beckoned, and Hua Sheng walked out quickly, his back slightly flustered.
Luo Jiu knew that the Liu family was fine for the time being, and finding a doctor was just to cover up his tracks. Sure enough, Hua Sheng quickly closed the door.
The white-bearded old man saw Luo Jiu, but a female voice came out, "Pavilion Master, contact me so urgently, but what are your orders?" ”
Luo Jiu continued to sit at the head of the bed, his eyes still staring at Liu Shi, and his voice was cold, "There is indeed something for you to do." ”
There are some things that Luo Jiu can't come forward, but others will do it much more smoothly.
After listening to Luo Jiu's instructions, the white-bearded old man was a little puzzled, "Pavilion Master, what do you ......mean?"
She wasn't sure if she had misheard it just now, how could anyone in the world want to find a killer to do it to herself? And it is pointed out that it is the killer of Chaisang Pavilion, and this person is also the master of Chaisang Pavilion......
Luo Jiu smiled lightly, "Naturally, it's true, you just do it." ”
Although there were doubts, the white-bearded old man did not dare to disobey, so he had to respond.
About two hours later, the white-bearded old man slowly left Jihe Courtyard.
Walking out of the door, the white-bearded old man looked at Hua Sheng, who came out together, suspiciously, and said, "Do you understand what the Pavilion Master means?" ”
Hua Sheng just smiled faintly, "Shi Yu, you are really a little fool, let you pretend to be a stupid old man in the Medicine Pavilion, you are really stupid." ”
After looking around, Hua Sheng cleared his throat again and said in a low voice: "The pavilion master has his own arrangements, you and I can just do it." ”
Concubine Shiyu nodded as if she didn't understand, and walked towards the outside of Luofu while thinking.
As soon as he walked out of Jihe Courtyard, he saw a girl waving at him, Concubine Shiyu looked around suspiciously, and pointed to himself in disbelief, looking for himself?
She didn't forget that she was an old man, so she bent over and walked over tremblingly, and inserted a silver needle into her neck, "Girl, you were calling me just now?" ”
Her voice had become an old man's voice at this time, and ordinary people couldn't hear any difference.
The maid nodded, and without saying a word, she stuffed a few pieces of white silver into the hand of Concubine Shiyu, lowered her voice and said, "Let me ask you, is there anything wrong with the second lady you went to treat just now?" ”
Concubine Shiyu suddenly understood, this is here to inquire about the news. She hurriedly put the silver in her pocket, smiled, and said cooperatively: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the body is weak and unconscious, and it can be cured with a little recuperation." ”
How can you not be happy when you come to take on a mission and have extra money?
The maid nodded, "Okay, you can go, you can't talk nonsense about today's events, you understand." ”
"The old man understands, the old man understands."
It was already late at night, and Liu was still asleep, and Luo Jiu was reluctant to leave.
I really couldn't stand it, Hua Sheng said softly: "Miss, you better rest, don't burn your body." ”
Luo Jiu shook his head slightly, "How's the investigation?" ”
With some eyebrows, what Hua Sheng said is indeed true, and this matter seems to have something to do with the Yang family. Luo Xi is proficient in pharmacology, and he must know the food conflict. ”
"And the Yang family has also frequently troubled his wife during the period, and it is common to deduct money, and this villain was also arranged by her."
I have always known about the ugly faces of the Li family and the Yang family, but I didn't expect that because of myself, the two of them would join forces one day.
Shouldn't they be thankful for themselves?
There is only one enemy of his own, Luo Sheng, and since the Li family and the Yang family are in a hurry to die, they have no choice but not to let any of them go.
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Luo Jiu's eyes, he had never been a good person, and he could still solve these troubles in the remaining half a month.
If it is not resolved, after he leaves Luofu, I am afraid that Liu's life will be even more sad.
After roughly going through the plan in his mind, Luo Jiu instructed, "What has Luo Xin been doing lately?" ”
Hua Sheng shook his head, "Recently, the Yang family and Luo Xin have settled down a lot, and they haven't made any big moves. ”
Luo Jiu hooked the corners of his lips, "Tomorrow, we will go to see my third aunt, if there is no movement, we will let them make a noise." ”
She glanced at Liu again, "From now on, I will let my mother live in my Jihe Courtyard, and idlers will not come close, and you will be personally responsible for everything you eat in the future." ”
"Let Chaisang Pavilion send some people to come over and guard the Jihe Courtyard, as long as you see someone trying to break in, you will not be killed."
As if thinking of something, Luo Jiu added: "Huashang shouldn't be able to stay here, find a chance to let her leave here, I just disgusted it when I stayed in Jihe Courtyard." ”
"Understood."
Although Hua Shang didn't do anything wrong, but as soon as Liu fainted today, she knew that there was something wrong with the meal, how could she not suspect her?
She was timid and didn't dare to speak up before, and she didn't care anymore, but such a person categorically couldn't stay by her side.
Hua Sheng retreated, leaving only Liu and himself in the house.
Luo Jiu took out the villain he got from the Li clan again, and the silver needle inserted on it had been thrown aside by Luo Jiu.
The slender onion fingers are tentatively probing back and forth on the edge of the villain, the stitches are dense, and the unique hook method is indeed from Liu's handwriting.
Fortunately, the Li family just wanted to intimidate themselves today, if they really showed it to Luo Sheng, according to Luo Sheng's temperament, I am afraid it would be difficult to save her life.
But in the entire Luofu, there is one other person besides the Liu family who also has the same acupuncture method, and that is Luoxi taught by the Liu family......
Originally, he wanted to secretly send the Liu family out, and it was safer to be outside than this Luo Mansion. But I don't know if Luo Sheng has taken precautions, there are always more people in Luofu who shouldn't be there recently.
Xingzi, who hadn't shown up for a long time, finally poked his head out, the bright moon was still hanging high, and the entire Yunchuan Royal Mansion fell into a deep sleep, quietly.
The flickering candle flame stretched Yun Chuan's shadow very long, reflecting obliquely on the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, gently swaying with Yun Chuan's movement.
After half a cup of tea, Yun Chuan finally put down the pen in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Zhu Yicai, who had been standing aside, said slowly: "Lord Wang, why are you helping that Luo Jiu?" ”
He didn't raise his eyes, but said lightly: "This Luo Jiu is not as simple as you see, don't panic when you encounter something, although you can hide it, but the things in your eyes can't deceive people." ”
Zhuyi still didn't understand, "Then you don't have to give her the waist jade." ”
Although Zhuyi's strength is indeed very strong, his brain is still a little unbright.
Yun Chuan smiled lightly and asked rhetorically, "Then have you found out Luo Jiu's whereabouts when he left Luo Mansion?" ”
Zhuyi fell silent, he had sent some people to follow Luo Jiu before, but every time it was fruitless, and all the brothers sent out had evaporated from the world.
Seeing that Zhu Yi was speechless, Yun Chuan continued: "No matter where this Luo Jiu comes from, there must be a gap between her and Luo Sheng, so what's wrong with using it?" ”
Zhu Yi nodded as if he didn't understand, "...... over there in Luoxi?"
"Business as usual."
Although there is no movement on the surface, Luofu is already in chaos.
The candle flame seemed to have been disturbed by something and flickered, Yun Chuan raised his head lightly, and said to Zhu Yi: "It's cold, prepare more charcoal fire for the winter." ”
Takeichi also noticed something unusual, but didn't say anything, just nodded and stood quietly aside.
The window was suddenly blown open by the wind, and it looked a little strange in the silent night, and Yun Chuan couldn't stop coughing.
Zhuyi hurriedly took out a white handkerchief to wipe for Yun Chuan, and when he took it away again, the handkerchief was stained with red donated blood.
Zhu Yiyi's face was worried, "Lord Wang, your condition is much more serious. ”
"Don't get in the way, by the way, the miracle doctor from Chaisang Pavilion has appeared."
Zhu opened his mouth and didn't speak, as if he shook his head with some self-reproach, his eyes full of sadness.
Yun Chuan sighed helplessly, "Close the window, you also rest early, I still have you to take care of me these days, it's hard for you." ”
"What did the prince say? Zhuyi's life was picked up by you, Lord Wang. ”
Zhu Yi glanced out the window, it was pitch black, and the crescent moon that was still bright and clean was long gone at this time. He closed the window and murmured complainingly, "It's autumn, and it's so cold." ”
