Chapter 610: Aftermath
When Ruan heard this, he understood what she meant, "If you want to break this trust, I'm afraid it's not easy."
"On the one hand, let's start with the identity of the Lin family, once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout, on the other hand, unless the Lin family does nothing, as long as she does, there will definitely be flaws. Besides, the stalemate between Qin Zeng and the old lady may not always be like this......
"Gongsun Wanyan spoke?"
"Well, now it's up to her to ask the old lady what the True Master gave to Qin Zeng back then."
Nguyen nodded.
Li Qingyi said again: "Second aunt, you must step up your precautions against something like today, and you must not take it lightly, and give people with ulterior motives an opportunity."
"I understand......," Ruan nodded cautiously, "Now I'll wait and see what the Wei family does next, and see what their purpose is."
Li Qingyi came out of Ruan's courtyard and took a look at Li Miaoran.
Li Miaoran has been very tired from serving in front of Ruan's bed for the past few days, and she is asleep at this time, so Li Qingyi didn't call her, but only handed over the things she brought over to her maidservant Mi'er and said, "This is for Miao'er, when she wakes up, you can hand it over to her."
Who knew that Mi'er was startled when she saw the box, "My aunt, did you send it, or did you send it for someone else?"
Li Qingyi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "Naturally, I sent it, what's wrong?" You look like you're making a fuss?"
Mi'er knew that the two sisters were close, so she naturally wouldn't hide it, and pulled Li Qingyi to the side and whispered: "A few days ago, when the girl was on the street, she met a son, and that person was not a good person at first glance. The second girl was so frightened that she was short of breath, and in a hurry, she threw the box out and smashed it right on the back of the man's head!"
The corners of Li Qingyi's mouth twitched, his nostrils were raised and his nostrils were facing the sky, he wanted to reward things when he met, this kind of lame gesture of goodwill, who else could there be besides the prince.
"And then?"
"And ...... The man touched the back of his head and looked back at the girl in shock, and the girl was so frightened that she ran away, and she didn't dare to leave the house for half a month......
Li Qingyi didn't know what to say when he heard this, it seems that the prince's road to chasing his wife is a long way to go......
"This box is a standard box between the water and clouds, and whenever you buy something in it, you will wrap it in such a box. I think that the things that the boy gave to Miao'er are also exquisite food among the water and clouds."
Mi'er blinked, "I see, but the second girl doesn't seem to know that son, why did the other party send the girl food?"
Li Qingyi could say anything, but said, "I probably recognized the wrong person. However, you have to tell Miao'er well, you can't just do it with others, in case you give ...... Give people a good shot, but how can it be good......
Mi'er nodded, "The slave maid knows, and the second girl is just too panicked, so she missed for a while."
Li Qingyi smiled, "Then I'll go back to the palace first, if there's anything on Miao'er or the second aunt's side, send me a letter as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Back at Zhenbei Wangfu, Li Qingyi heard that the Hong family had received a reply from Gongsun Qing.
"Oh? Then how did the He family reply?"
"How dare the He family fight with the palace right now? Naturally, I agreed. If it weren't for the young aunt and grandmother's ill health, they would have even had the heart to fly over."
The old lady of the He family used to be the prefect of Shengzhou, but he was a parent official who was loved by the people, but unfortunately he had no achievements in his son's generation, but for the sake of the face of the old lady He, he was a workshop warden in the yamen, and the grandson was even worse, and directly took over his father's position, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was eating and waiting for death, but the He family is not stupid, and on the surface it has maintained the reputation of the old lady He when he was alive.
Zhenbei Wangfu was in a recession at that time, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the He family used the power of the flood to put on a show, and the deceived Gongsun Qing got married.
Li Qingyi snorted lightly, "The old lady sent out
Bian's mother went to deliver the letter in person, and said that she would protect Gongsun Qing all the way back, otherwise, do you think the He family will still take care of Gongsun Qing or not?"
"Yes." Yu Wu thought for a moment, "Since Grandma has an idea, she must be going to help to the end?"
Li Qingyi said, "The princess and the old lady, we have to do both...... By the way, what's going on with my second aunt?"
"The second aunt and grandmother stayed in the house last time, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back after ten days and a half months."
Li Qingyi nodded, "Anyway, I can't rush here, these days, I will deal with Gongsun Qing's affairs and the second aunt's wind and cold first."
*****
Early this morning, Xiang Lan came in with water to serve Li Qingyi to clean her face, and then put it in her ear and said, "There's a letter from the Hou Mansion, let grandma have a free trip."
Li Qingyi put on his clothes and nodded to indicate that he knew, because he was worried about this matter, he ate breakfast quickly, and then went to Jingyuntang to greet the old lady who had a good face, and then prepared a car and went out to Li's mansion.
Ruan Shi was interrogating Liu Ying at this time, and when he saw Li Qingyi coming, he hurriedly waved at her.
Li Qingyi sat down beside Ruan, glanced at Liuying, who was honestly kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Second aunt, is there movement over there?"
Nguyen raised his chin and nodded the fireflies and said, "Listen to her."
Hearing this, Liuying hurriedly lowered her head and respectfully said Fang Cai's words again: "Early this morning, someone from my family sent a letter, saying that my father was sick, I took leave and went home, and found that it was the steward of the Wei Mansion who came, because he and my father were fellow villagers, and only said that there was a good family to look at me for me, and my father didn't suspect anything, so he made up a panic and asked me to go back......
When Ruan saw that she was struggling, he said, "Don't worry, I won't blame your father for lying."
"Yes......" Liu Ying relieved her heart, and then continued: "Steward Xu must have thought that the matter of peony skin was done, I had a handle in his hand, and it was easy not to turn back, so he showed up to me in person, and after I came out of the house, he took me to a remote corner and asked about my wife's condition, and I told him that my wife's illness was not good, and now she is very weak."
"And then, what did he say?"
"He gave me a packet of things and told me to put this in Madame's decoction. I asked him what it was, and he said it was a poison, but he reassured me that it could be cured, and that someone would naturally detoxify my wife when the time came."
Hotaru said, taking out a yellow paper bag from her sleeve.
Garcinia cambogia walked over and handed it to Ruan, who thought it was poison and hesitated for a moment not to open it.
Li Qingyi said on the side, "Let's show Miss Xie first."
Xie Rao stepped forward to take the yellow paper bag, sniffed it first, then frowned and opened the paper bag to take a closer look, and her face changed.
Li Qingyi saw that her face was different, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Rao pondered for a moment and said, "After taking this medicine, it will make people extremely weak, and it looks like it is dying, and it will not die immediately, it can indeed be solved, but this antidote is complicated, and only pharmaceutical people can solve it."
"What do they mean by that?" Nguyen was confused.
"Poison first, and then detoxify, doesn't the second aunt understand?"
Ruan Shi was stunned, suddenly got up, and was furious!
"It's really too deceitful, do you think our Li family is a fool!"
"The grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, if the second aunt is really terminally ill and helpless, and the Wei family or the princess of Zhenbei brings someone to cure the second aunt, then how should this kindness be repaid? What a plan they have!"
Ruan's face turned pale with anger, and then he thought of something, "This matter, we have to think about it carefully, if it is openly exposed, we will inevitably tear our faces, even if we don't tear our faces, we must make them more wary of us, and they will make another plan...... The best thing to do is to make sure that they think we don't know anything and feel at ease with us......
Ruan's eyes looked at the bag of poison, and he was still afraid, "But as soon as I think of eating this poison, I ......."
"Second aunt, why bother you to eat it yourself? draping curtain pulse,
But if you show a wrist, who knows if it's the second aunt herself?"
Ruan Shi was stunned, "But, where to find someone to replace me, I'm afraid it......
Li Qingyi smiled and looked at Liuying.
Ruan's heart moved, and then he reacted, looked at Liuying and said, "Liuying, are you willing to atone for your sins?"
Liu Ying is a bold person, otherwise she would not have agreed to others to do such a risky thing for money, and she also listened to the conversation between Ruan Shi and Li Qingyi, and even Xie Rao confirmed that there was a way to save this poison......
It's just that it's poison after all, and if something goes wrong, her life will be hard to spare. But if she doesn't agree, she won't be able to live on the charge of murdering her mother, so she can only gamble......
Having made up her mind in her heart, Liuying kowtowed three times to the Ruan clan and said, "Madam, the slave and maid are guilty, and I am willing to take this poison for the lady to make up for the merits, and I only hope that the lady can spare the slave's life......."
"Okay, since you have this heart, I will allow you this time, and when this matter is over, you can still stay in the mansion and promote you to a second-class maidservant."
Liu Ying didn't expect that she would be able to stay in the mansion, and she was simply surprised: "Mrs. Xie! Mrs. Xie!"
"Alright, you go down first."
"Yes, slave and maid leave!"
Liuying left ecstatically, and Garcinia Huang said, "Madam, why do you still keep her in the mansion, this kind of person can betray you once, and he can betray you a second time!"
"If I drive her out of the house, the people behind the scenes will definitely be suspicious, so I will keep her, so as to dispel the other party's doubts." Ruan is also a person who has been a housewife for many years, and he will not even think of this thing, "Yi'er, what do you say?"
"The second aunt is right, this firefly will remain under our noses for the time being, maybe it will be used in the future."
The two hid in the house and muttered and discussed all morning, and at noon Li Qingyi stayed in the Hou Mansion and had lunch before returning home.
