Chapter 19: The Man Who Poisoned the Poisoner
In the middle of the cold night, the first snow of this winter fell, and on the empty street, a carriage drove side by side with a horse on the side, and the carriage sat Jiang Guoshi, and the mighty man riding a horse was Xiao Duo, the king of Qi.
"Jiang Zhan, tell this king, what are your intentions for this fourth girl of the Xie Xuan family? What's so special about her? Xiao Duo took the reins, slowed down his horse and followed the window of the carriage, shouting loudly, the snow falling all over his forehead and shoulders, but he didn't care, only stared at the carriage window with a resentful expression.
Jiang Zhan was already a little upset sitting in the carriage, but at this moment, he felt that he was even more noisy, so he opened the curtain and said, "This snow is getting heavier and heavier, Your Highness might as well come to the carriage." ”
Xiao Duo is most afraid of riding in the car, he grew up in the army since he was a child, and he has spent the past twenty or thirty years on horseback, let him sit in the carriage and slowly sway, he feels uncomfortable.
"You don't come, this king was used by you as a shield, can't you be curious? This king is accustomed to playing cards not according to common sense, but this is put on the dignified and self-sustaining national teacher, that is, the sun is playing in the west. ”
Xiao Duo knew that Jiang Zhan went to Shangshu Mansion so grandly today, and broke into Xie Sihua's boudoir, naturally it would not be an abrupt move, he should just want Xie Xuan to know that there are people in this mansion watching for him, and if Xie Sihua has any trouble, he will know.
He was warning Xie Xuan about the importance he valued Xie Sihua.
But what did he like about Xie Sihua? Jiang Zhan was really curious.
"Don't forget, you also warned this king, this woman's life is too strong, and you have to stay away."
Jiang Zhan lowered the curtain, and his inky eyes hidden in the dark night flashed a faint light.
"The deity is here to transform her."
……
In Shangshu's mansion, the news of Xie Sihua's poisoning spread the next day, and all kinds of gossip surged up for a while, and the spearhead was tantamount to the Xue family.
In the past, the Xue family treated the four girls intentionally or unintentionally, and everyone saw it in their eyes, but now that the four girls have won the attention of the master, the Xue family has a grudge and secretly kills her, which also makes sense, otherwise the four girls will go deep into Jane, and everyone really can't think of anyone who wants to harm her little girl.
Xie Sihua sat in front of the mirror, looking at his delicate face full of red rashes, and looked left and right for a long time.
Ying Ning held the snow cream given by Jiang Zhan yesterday, and was about to come up to apply it to her, but she raised her hand and refused.
"No, no, no."
This snow cream is indeed a rare thing, it was specially developed by the imperial doctors for the nobles in the palace, and the use of rare and precious medicinal materials was used, Jiang Zhan did have a heart, but it seemed that it was going to be wasted.
"Girl, if you don't apply it, it's itchy, but you're alone, and what if there are sores and scars." Ying Ning persuaded with good words.
Xie Sihua didn't answer her. She will never marry Murong Zhao in this life, so she can't win the love of Pingnanhou and his wife at the birthday banquet as Xie Xuan wishes, and now this face is full of red rashes, isn't it just right to fulfill herself, and she won't be blamed by Xie Xuan?
Thinking about it, Xie Sihua stared at himself in the mirror with a neck rash on his face, and couldn't help laughing.
Ying Ning was shocked when she saw it, but she was afraid that this poison would not even poison the girl's brain.
"Girl, the fifth girl has come to see the girl." The greenery is in the outer road.
Xie Sihua heard this, but he was a rare guest, this Xie Sijiao has always been sick, lying on the couch all year round, and she can't come to her small courtyard twice a year.
With a solemn look, he took the veil that Ying Ning handed over and put it on, Xie Sihua gave Ying Ning a look, Ying Ning immediately stepped forward to hug her, and the two of them pretended to be weak and went out.
"Fifth sister is here, cough cough cough ......" Xie Sihua took one step and coughed two steps and sat down by the charcoal stove in the front hall, his delicate appearance was a little weaker than Xie Sijiao in front of him.
Xie Sijiao looked at the rash on her forehead and hands, and couldn't help showing concern, "Fourth sister, this is ...... Do you feel unwell? I have an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving plaster, and I'll ask the maid to bring you some later. ”
"Thank you so much, sister." Xie Sihua didn't refuse, but just thanked him.
"My own sister, why be polite, my sister went to Fahua Temple to pray for blessings, didn't she think of me and asked for a peace charm for me!" Xie Sijiao curled the corners of her lips.
Xie Sihua didn't say anything, just silently waited for her next step.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for her to speak again: "Who is going to harm my sister, does the fourth sister know in her heart?" Dare to do it in Shangshu Mansion, and it is also a great courage to think about it. ”
"I don't know, you know that I've always lived in a simple house like my sister, and I don't have any enemies, yesterday my father said that he would investigate thoroughly, and I think there will be results soon."
Xie Sihua said this, but he didn't believe that Xie Xuan would really uphold justice for himself, and yesterday's words were just prevaricating grandmother's words.
Xie Siqi's innocence was ruined, and he was still indifferent, not to mention that he was just having some rashes now.
is such a cold person, all he cares about from beginning to end is the marriage with the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
"Sister, have you heard?" Xie Sijiao's voice was already weak, but it was lowered a few points at the moment, which made it even more difficult to hear.
"What?"
"In the ancestral hall, my sister's mother's spirit card is gone." Xie Sijiao said timidly in a low voice.
Xie Sihua was stunned.
Yesterday, she thought about it, and indeed thought that all her food and clothing were through Yingning's hands, but Yingning was fine, so there was only one possibility, that is, she was poisoned in the ancestral hall yesterday, and the smell of rosin on the spirit card was particularly abrupt, she had noticed it at that time, but at that time she was immersed in the fulfillment of her wishes, and she did not pay attention to it.
"It was said that Mrs. Ren knew that her sister had been poisoned in the house, and the undead were angry, so she ......" Her voice became lower and lower, and her expression showed a little fear.
Xie Sihua barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Sister, don't believe these nonsense, as for my mother's tablet...... I think my father will find it. ”
Xie Sijiao saw her calm appearance, and her face was timid, and she sighed: "I didn't believe in these nonsense, but people have been sick for a long time, and they have gradually become afraid." ”
Xie Sihua didn't answer her, she couldn't figure out the true face of Lou's mother and daughter, and it was the safest not to leave any clues for the other party.
Seeing that she was not much interested in talking to herself, Xie Sijiao didn't stay long and went back.
As soon as she left, Xie Sihua recalled her words, she actually didn't believe that it was the Xue family who poisoned her from the beginning, knowing that once this matter was done, everyone's spearhead would inevitably point at her, and the Xue family was also shrewd, she couldn't do such a stupid thing, she was now trying to win back Xie Xuan's trust, how could she lift a stone and shoot herself in the foot.
But Lou's mother and daughter have been cautious all their lives, and in their previous lives, until she got married and left, their mother and daughter lived in obscurity, and they couldn't enter the ancestral hall at all, and only ......
"Girl, the slave knows who took Madame's spirit card." At this time, Lu Wu, who had been waiting outside, came in after seeing Xie Sijiao leave.
Xie Sihua turned his eyes to look at her solemn expression, and he already knew it in his heart, and he couldn't help but raise a smile on his lips, and sighed secretly: It's really stupid.
