Chapter 334: Aunt Wen's Death
"It's not good, there is always a faint pain in my stomach. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Butterfly Dance replied
Ruo Tan listened to it and drank sweet soup unintentionally: "Can I eat the orange aunt I asked my father to give to my aunt?"
Butterfly Wu smiled and said, "Of course there is food, and I still said that Miss has something good to remember her." ”
Ruo Tan smiled slightly: "I'll go to see my aunt tomorrow morning." ”
When the butterfly dance is gone, Ruo Chen ordered the green jade to call Tao'er.
Amber persuaded: "Miss, let's have a good rest, don't summon people in the middle of the night, even the official who decided the case will not try the case at this time."
Besides, Aunt Wen has just had a miscarriage, her body is weak, and she has to be served, and she has only one maid in common, you call Tao'er, who will serve her? What can't wait until dawn?"
If you hear what she says, you will lie down and sleep again.
It was late at night, Mrs. Xu was still sitting under the lamp doing needlework, she looked at the delicate embroidered shoes in her hand, and remembered that the shoes she wore when she was just given birth were only a little more than an inch, but the shoes she was wearing now were not much smaller than hers, and she felt that time was in a hurry.
The door curtain was opened, Hongmei walked in, the old man is not here today, and the lady has important matters, so she has no home to go.
Mrs. Xu raised her head and asked a little nervously, "Did she drink it?"
Hongmei shook her head in frustration: "Mother Song, who delivered food in the kitchen, said that she was standing at the door of Miss's room, and she saw everything in it clearly, Miss has the habit of drinking soup after meals, Amber put a bowl of Ejiao red date chicken soup, and Miss took over and was ready to eat, but it was destroyed by Butterfly Dance." ”
Mrs. Xu was shocked, stiffened her body and asked, "You mean-we were poisoned and were recognized by Butterfly Dance?"
Hongmei smiled and said: "That's not true, it's just that Butterfly Dance also sends soup over sooner or later, and it's the sweet soup that Miss loves to drink, Miss naturally doesn't drink the chicken soup we boiled, and goes to drink the sweet soup sent by Butterfly Dance." ”
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and after only a few moments of effort, she was already sweaty, and she was very unwilling to say: "I didn't expect to collapse at the last moment." ”
Hongmei said: "It's okay, Shopkeeper Xu said that if you take that Xicheng poison three times in ten days, you will get rid of it and die violently, but as long as you take it, even if the dose is insufficient, you will have asthma, and you will die in less than a month, so Mrs. doesn't have to worry too much." ”
Mrs. Xu was still worried: "Don't say a month, even if it is half a month, Chen'er can find out the truth, and then I will be in a catastrophe." ”
Hongmei gritted her teeth, and said with a fierce light in her eyes: "It's better to kill people and kill people!" Let Miss break her head, and then let Aunt Yan go for the time being, and when Miss dies, we will deal with her!"
Now that Miss is already weak and in poor spirits due to poisoning, isn't the reason why she insists on investigating it because she is worried that Aunt Yan will be plotted, and now that no one is plotting against her, Miss will definitely throw away her hand, so isn't Mrs. safe. ”
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but nod her head when she heard this, but she had other plans in her heart.
The next morning, after getting up to wash up and make up, Ruochen came to Rongxi Hall to greet the old lady, and waited for breakfast by the way.
Except for Mrs. Xu, Fang Yonghua's five concubines are all there except for Aunt Wen, and today is the day to distribute Mid-Autumn Festival materials.
Yan Yi dreamed of Ruochen and smiled at her.
Ruo Chen greeted the people who filled the room and asked Yan Yimeng: "I heard Sister Diewu say that my aunt is not in good health, can you ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look?"
Yan Yimeng glanced at the old lady and said with a smile: "Butterfly Dance is too much of a fuss, where am I uncomfortable?"
Ruo Tan understood that she was afraid that the old lady would say that she was pretending to be coquettish, so she didn't say any more.
The old lady stared at Ruo Tan intently, and said in confusion: "Isn't Tan Er's head injury cured? Why is her complexion so bad?
Mrs. Xu said: "Maybe it's because of the blood that was shed before," Speaking of this, she looked at Ruo Chen helplessly and said: "Moreover, this child doesn't eat well, she didn't even drink a mouthful of Ejiao red date chicken soup I specially boiled yesterday, so I don't think about eating, how can my body get better?"
The old lady also counted with a straight face: "This is that you are not well-behaved, and even your mother's heart is disappointed, and it is also unfilial!"
He stood up and listened to the teaching.
Pearl said outside: "The kitchen is here to deliver breakfast." ”
The aunts were about to say goodbye, and the old lady said, "I specially asked the kitchen to prepare more meals today, and we will have a reunion dinner in advance." ”
The aunts sat down again after hearing this.
Cuiyu and a few servants quickly set up two tables, Ruo Chen sat at the upper table with the old lady and Mrs. Xu, and Yan Yimeng and the other three aunts sat at the lower table.
A group of maids rushed in, and in a short time the two tables were full of dishes.
Ruo Tan glanced at it and said in disappointment: "Why don't there be big crabs!"
Mrs. Xu hurriedly pushed a plate of steamed buns to her: "It's the same with crab roe buns." ”
Ruo said: "It's different." ”
Yan Yimeng turned her head and smiled at her: "I have crabs the size of a sea bowl there, you come at noon, and I will make them for you." ”
Ruo Tan was just about to respond, but the old lady sank her face: "Crabs are not a good thing, eating too much will hurt your body!"
When everyone saw this, no one dared to speak anymore, and they all buried their heads in eating.
At this moment, Peach ran in a panic.
The old lady glared at her dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter?"
Tao'er replied with a frightened face, "Aunt Wen is dead!"
Ruo Chen's eyes widened in shock.
There was a bang behind him, and it was the sound of the bowl falling to the ground, and Ruo Chen turned his head and saw Aunt Zeng's frightened snow-white face.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her suspiciously, she smiled and explained, "I was frightened by the news of Aunt Wen's death. ”
If he didn't think about it, he pulled out his feet and ran to the Jinlou, the old lady jumped to her feet in a hurry, and shouted in the back: "The person who just swallowed his breath is not clean there, and the second is that it is now in the morning and the yang energy is insufficient, and it is not too late to go again at noon." "Ruochen just doesn't follow.
It happened that Fang Yonghua came back from the next court, and Mrs. Xu told him about Aunt Wen's death training.
Fang Yonghua frowned and said in disgust: "She is really good at picking the hour, she will not die sooner or later, and she will die if the festival is about to end, isn't it adding to the chaos?"
Mrs. Xu wiped her tears and said: "Everyone is dead, you still complain about what she has done, no matter what, in the end, it is the person next to the pillow, go and see her for the last time." ”
The husband and wife came to the Jinlou, Ruo Chen was standing next to Wen Ruolan's corpse, looking at his father, and at the woman who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and sighed in his heart.
The woman on the bed is less than 30 years old, she should be a blooming flower, but her cheeks are thin, her eye sockets are also a little sunken, she has been depressed for a long time, and she can no longer see her former demeanor.
But my father is still in his prime, and he is more calm as he gets older, he is in the best stage of a man, but Aunt Wen is as decaying as yesterday's yellow flower.
Ruo Tan raised his eyes and saw his father's deep disgust for Wen Ruolan between his frowns, his heart was cold, and he looked away.
The streamer throws people away, Wen Ruolan used to be so good-looking, but now there is no half color left.
......
Once the spring is full of red faces, the flowers fall and people die without knowing!
Life is like a group of bobs running a marathon, with waves of unevenness rising again and again.
Wen Ruolan just died, and Tao'er disappeared.
The first person to find out that Tao'er was missing was Ruo Chen, and after Mrs. Xu left, she wanted to ask Tao'er for questioning, but she couldn't find anyone.
Amber asked suspiciously: "Why did this peach disappear in the blink of an eye?" Her master died, but she hid, and when she turned around, she would definitely be beaten by Aunt Zhou. ”
Ruo sneered: "If she can get that board, then she will still be blessed." ”
Amber listened inexplicably.
The master and servant came to Zhuyixuan, Yan Yimeng had already steamed the hairy crab, just waiting for Ruochen, seeing her coming, greeted her with a smile, took her hand and said, "If you don't come again, I will ask Diewu to find you." ”
Ruo Chen suddenly stood still, his eyes fixed on the oleander in the yard.
The oleander grows gratifyingly, the flowers are red and the leaves are green, like a picture, which adds a lot of charm to the green of the thousand poles of bamboo in this courtyard.
Yan Yimeng followed her gaze and asked with a smile: "Tan'er also likes to come to Zhutao?" I heard that new trees can grow from cuttings, I will try it next spring, and if it can be successful, I will give Tan'er one." ”
Ruo Chen asked in a deep voice: "Who gave this oleander to my aunt?"
Yan Yimeng only noticed her serious face at this time, and replied, "It's Aunt Zhao." ”
Ruo Chen asked, "When did Aunt Zhao give it to you?"
"It was the afternoon of your injury. Yan Yimeng looked at the oleander, and then looked at Ruochen, "This oleander has a topic?"
Ruo said: "The floral fragrance of oleander is poisonous, especially if pregnant women smell it for a long time, it will cause miscarriage." ”
Yan Yimeng and Butterfly Dance changed their faces.
Butterfly Wu walked over and uprooted the oleander with one hand, folded it into several folds with ease, and said angrily: "This Aunt Zhao's intentions are really sinister!"
Yan Yimeng said: "Don't say anything without evidence, if people insist that they don't know that oleander will be bad for pregnant women, we shout like this, but it seems that we are holding on to other people's pigtails, just throw this tree away." ”
The butterfly danced in response, carrying the thick oleander out of the courtyard gate.
Yan Yimeng sat down and went to the kitchen to bring crabs.
Steamed, spicy, braised ......
She didn't even say a word, grabbed a spicy one and couldn't wait to suck the juice on it, it was fragrant and spicy, and it was wonderful.
Amber stood aside and drooled, and said, "Take two of them and eat them, I'm really worried that your saliva will flood the house." ”
Amber listened, took two spicy ones, and sat down with joy to eat them.
Yan Yimeng smiled and took a steamed one, peeled the shell and put it in her small plate: "Try it with dipping sauce and eating it." ”
Ruochen took it and tried it, and it was delicious, and praised: "Auntie's cooking skills are really amazing." ”
Yan Yimeng asked with a smile: "Do you want to learn from me, and make it for your sweetheart in the future?"
Ruo Chen's handsome face immediately appeared in his mind, thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't learn, I have to wait for the people who love me to wash their hands and make soup for me." ”
In love, the one who gives his heart is more likely to be hurt.
Yan Yimeng stared at her for a long time: "You are such a weird child. ”
The next morning, Peach was found in the lotus pond in the house.
When Green Jade told Ruo Tan the news of the hexagram, she didn't seem surprised at all.
Amber whispered, "Many people say that Peach is a loyal servant and has gone to martyrdom. ”
If she sneered, it would be impossible for her to be martyred by betraying her master.
When Green Jade heard Amber's words, she said with a mysterious face: "Qiu Ju is not a martyr, she was pulled by the water ghost as a stand-in." ”
It was a cloudy day, the room was not so bright, and the green jade demeanor and tone were tense, which made the atmosphere even more gloomy.
Amber leaned forward in fear.
Ruo Chen said "oh?", "Why do you think that?"
Green Jade said: "The lotus pond has drowned people before, and Tao'er doesn't know it, so it is impossible for her to go to the lotus pond, but she died in the lotus pond, which is too strange, so she guesses." ”
Ruo Tan stared at her meaningfully, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Even you think it's strange, but I have to investigate it carefully." ”
Amber asked, "Miss, you really want to investigate." ”
Ruo Tan replied with little strength.
Amber said worriedly: "Miss, you see that your complexion has been getting worse day by day recently, all because you have worked hard and not rested well after being injured, and you don't take the opportunity to give birth to a good life, what do you care about those idle things?"
Ruo Tan glanced at her dissatisfiedly: "Human life is at stake, how can it be idle?"
Amber persuaded without giving up: "Miss, you still take care of your own daughter's body, there is a lady in everything." ”
Ruo Tan smiled bitterly and said: "With my mother's soft character, big things are turned into small things, and small things are turned into small things, what truth can be found." ”
Amber pouted: "It's better not to know the truth, it's like an embroidered pillow with rotten floc, if you don't open it, you will use it, you just want to discard it when you open it, and how many people are implicated in it once you find out the truth." ”
Ruo Zhen said: "I don't know the reason to let go when I have to let go, but this truth is related to Aunt Yan, I have to investigate, I want to see who is plotting against Aunt Yan behind my back." ”
Amber no longer dissuaded her, so she had to follow her out of Rongxi Hall.
The two came to the lotus pond, and if they walked around the shore and observed, they stopped somewhere, where the half-green and half-yellow grass lay on the ground in an orderly manner, and there should have been a heavy object dragged from it, and the drag marks continued to the shore, indicating that the heavy object was finally thrown into the water.
She squatted on the shore with drag marks and looked, there were no scratches on the shore wall, assuming that the heavy object was Peach, she was either unconscious or dead at that time, so she was thrown into the water without struggling.
Peach was killed by him.
The murderer of Muhou is the one who instructed Tao'er to frame Wen Ruolan.
It's just strange, it's just a frame-up, give more peach silver, and tell her to carry it off her shoulder, can she kill people and kill people?
Could it be that Momoir knows too many secrets about the murderer?
Ruochen stood up and walked along the other side of the drag, the source was in the hibiscus forest.
That is to say, someone asked Tao'er to meet in the hibiscus forest, and then waited for the opportunity to kill her, and threw her into the lotus pond to disappear, causing her to fall into the water and die.
Ruo Tan was about to leave, and out of the corner of her eye, she swept to a dark yellow thing in the grass, and she walked over and picked it up, it was a small bronze waist tag with an ink word written on it.
Ruo Tan put the waist card into the purse, and said to Amber: "What I did here, what I picked up, remember, don't reveal a word to anyone, someone asked, just say that I am not feeling well, go to the lotus pond to sit down, soothe." ”
Amber helped her to the water pavilion, her mouth answering. (To be continued.) )
