Chapter 81: Vicious Woman, Dog Eats Dog
Sheng Wanning was stared at by his threatening eyes, her head was buried lower, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, stepped forward the teacup in a deep step, and said softly, "Third Master, your tea."
Li Jingyuan stared at her lowered face, and the strength of twisting the Buddha beads tightened a little, but she didn't respond.
Sheng Wanning lowered her voice after putting the teacup and said, "Third Master, Yunnan black tea comes from the southern city of Huaguo, this tea is light and elegant at first drink, fragrant in the mouth, and it has been rich and mellow for a long time, slightly bitter, please drink it while it is hot."
She deliberately put the word Nancheng in a particularly heavy position, and the afterglow secretly swept over the old man's face. Nancheng is her mother's hometown, and if this Li Jingyuan really had a relationship with her mother, it is impossible to be indifferent.
Sure enough, at the corners of Li Jingyuan's tightly pursed mouth, she clearly saw a trace of deep and restrained arc overflowing.
"Southtown, it's a good place." Li Jingyuan suddenly spoke up, and his tone was indifferent.
Sheng Wanning saw that his expression fluctuated a little, and immediately seized the opportunity to ask, "The third master has also been to Nancheng, hasn't he?" Have you ever heard the songs that are popular in the southern city, the long river is endless, the sun drinks the sky, the piano is harmonious, and the moon sets in the Yao Palace."
There is no such ballad in Nancheng.
This is what she took advantage of to make up on her own initiative, in which the qin has the same sound as "Qin", and her mother's name is hidden in the ballad: Qin Yao.
Li Jingyuan's dry Adam's apple saw obvious ups and downs, even if he didn't answer, Sheng Wanning could basically confirm that what Aunt Qiong said was right, this Li Jingyuan did have a relationship with his mother.
So, how much does his mother's death have to do with him?
Sheng Wanning's lowered eyes were hidden in the edge, and she boldly asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The third master just said that the Buddha can kill people, so what about you, have you ever killed people in Huaguo?"
The voice is small, but sharp.
Noticing that Li Jingyuan was holding the Buddha beads, Sheng Wanning's sharp eyes were fixed on his expression, lest he miss any subtle expression, and suddenly, a deep restrained and slightly hoarse voice sounded: "No."
Sheng Wanning's pupils dilated rapidly.
He...... Actually answered her question??
She asked the question only to spy on the man's reaction and change in expression in order to speculate on the answer.
What she didn't expect was that Li Jingyuan, a dignified member of the Li family and a mythical figure of the Nordic War, would personally answer the rude and offensive question of a "mere servant", which made the micro-expression psychology and reasoning process she had prepared instantly dispersed.
This was so unexpected for her!
"What else do you want to ask, little girl?" Li Jingyuan asked her about the hostile, exuding a deterrent momentum.
Sheng Wanning's heart trembled inexplicably, and her fingers trembled unnaturally.
Except for Zhan Qingcang, she had never felt this strong pressure from others, and she was so out of breath that her voice trembled a little: "If it is indirectly causing death, are you sure that you have not killed anyone?"
Li Jingyuan's face was dark and uncertain, and after the air froze for two seconds, he suddenly laughed, and the laughter was very cold and creepy.
Sheng Wanning couldn't recognize the meaning of Li Jingyuan's low smile, did he hurt his mother?
She was a little impatient at the bottom of her heart.
When the round table at which the family sits is larger than the others, and there are only three people seated, everyone is very far apart.
The other two couldn't hear their conversation, only Li Sanye suddenly chuckled, and each had varying degrees of shock on their faces.
In their impression, Li Sanye generally doesn't laugh, unless he has a murderous intent.
Li Jingsong didn't want to see blood, so he whispered at her: "Things that don't understand the rules, don't stand there!" Stand down!"
Li Jingyuan didn't say anything to stop her, but acquiesced to letting her go.
Sheng Wanning pinched the sweat in her palms and retreated temporarily.
Back in the maid's locker room, she hid behind the door, her heart still trembling.
This Li Sanye's look and answer really made her unpredictable. To say that he is related to the murderer behind the poisoning of her mother, he can calmly say that he has not killed anyone in China.
There was no need for him to return to this status
Answer a question from a servant, and since you answered it, there is no need to lie to her.
Does it really have nothing to do with him?
Suddenly, the door to the maid's room was pushed open from the outside, and she was startled behind the door, but she didn't make a sound.
I saw two women hurrying in on foot.
"Mary, are you the one who is going to the young master's room to deliver tea later?"
Hiding behind the door, Sheng Wanning smelled a bit of conspiracy, and her ears immediately cheered up, and she secretly poked her head out of the door.
I saw two women outside, one dressed as a maid, and the other was emaciated, wearing a veil on her head, just to cover the scars on her face.
It's Qin Ranran!
"I'm going to deliver it, Miss Qin......" the maid sneered.
Although Qin Ranran did not have a seat in this Li family's family banquet today, the degree of affection for her by Mrs. Li on weekdays was obvious to all, and the maid did not dare to offend, and her tone was respectful.
"Good." Qin Ranran took out a small medicine bag from his sleeve, "Spill this into the tea."
"This ...... Miss Qin...... I ......" The maid tried to push back.
Today, there was a lot of uproar in the hall because of a piece of venison that almost suffocated people, who didn't know that it was the party to the turmoil and the girlfriend that the young master brought home for the first time - Miss Sheng.
What Miss Qin wants to do, the maid naturally knows it, how dare she beach this troubled water.
"What? Don't dare?" Qin Ranran smiled disdainfully, "You did it for me seamlessly, this necklace is yours, if you can't do it, I'll tell the manager that you stole my things!" Mary, what to choose, you think about it!"
After speaking, Qin Ranran ripped off the necklace around his neck, stuffed it into the maid's hand together with the medicine bag, and left in a hurry.
The maid stood still, hung the necklace in her hand and faced the window, letting the bright sunlight shine on the necklace, and the necklace dimmed instantly.
The maid's originally sneering face suddenly flashed with an expression of eating shit, black, and she endured her grievances and anger.
Sheng Wanning also glanced at the golden necklace with interest, and smiled secretly in her heart.
This Qin Ranran is really funny, if you want to buy people, you can't give up the money, the necklace is very ordinary in texture and design, as thin as a needle and thread, and is worth five figures at most.
Taking such a big risk and paying so little, it's no wonder that the maid feels reluctant.
Sheng Wanning hid a smile and closed the door quietly.
The maid was startled when she heard the sound of the door closing, and when she saw Sheng Wanning, who was also wearing a maid's uniform behind the door, she didn't recognize her as the girlfriend brought by Li Yanting, and she was relieved when she noticed the number on the maid.
"Who should I be, it's a newcomer." The maid changed her previous submissiveness in front of Qin Ranran, and said in a bold and domineering tone: "Later, you will go and bring water to the woman in the young master's room, be smart, you know!" Chinese Net
After saying that, the maid tore open the medicine bag and spilled it into the tea.
Anyway, she didn't send it, let this newcomer send it, something happened, let the newcomer block it, it went well, she earned a necklace for nothing. Even if it's not worth it, it's money!
As long as you don't have to take the risk yourself, who will be afraid of less money?
Sheng Wanning saw through the abacus in this maid's heart, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she giggled, "Is this letting me harm myself?"
The maid was stunned when she heard this, where did she think that she was the mistress of the room, thinking that this newcomer was not on the road, and even dared to disobey the orders of the "seniors", her face was gloomy, and after sprinkling the medicinal powder, she strode towards her with tea, "If you want to send it, what nonsense?" Tell the Governor Rory!"
Sheng Wanning didn't take the tea, but just glanced at the necklace in her hand, and sneered: "That necklace is not valuable, why take the risk, you leave this bowl of tea untouched and give it to the young lady just now, and I will give you a higher reward."
"Heh, what are you talking about, what necklace and what reward, are you new to the ......?"
The maid's mocking voice came to an abrupt end when she saw the diamond-encrusted watch that Sheng Wanning's wrist silk scarf was torn off.
Especially the peerless agate in the center of the watch!
Exceptional!
"Do you like it? Do as I say, and I'll give you this watch." Sheng Wanning saw her take the bait, shook the watch in her hand, and continued to lure.
The maid swallowed, "Okay, no problem!"
If I could give her that watch, she would make a lot of money~ What kind of servant is here.
She's out of the way!
It's just that the woman in the servant's uniform in front of her is so generous? She asked, "Who are you?" How do I know if you're going to disagree when it's done?"
Sheng Wanning decided to play tricks to the end, and said nonsense without a red face and a heartbeat, "Does Li Sanqing's fiancé know? Just that man named Song Yanxi, I am his underground lover. If I don't admit it, and you shake our affairs out, won't I be finished? I'm not that stupid to die."
It turned out to be a man's mistress.
There was a fleeting disdain in the maid's eyes, but for the watch, her greed clearly prevailed over fear and antipathy towards her mistress.
"Hehe, it's on me. You're waiting for my news!" After squeezing out an unnatural smile, the maid turned around and took the tea and walked in the direction where Qin Ranran disappeared.
Looking at the disappearing figure of the maid, Sheng Wanning re-tied the silk scarf with an indifferent expression, her movements were neat, and she said quietly: Who can't play smoke bombs? Since one of these two women is insidious and cunning, and the other is insatiable, let them eat dog!
In the hall, Qin Ranran returned to the designated seats for servants and individual guests. Seeing that there were low-class people around her, she looked disgusted. But thinking that Sheng Wanning was about to be ruined after being fed the "tea" mixed with some fierce medicine, the haze on her forehead quickly dissipated, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
He was secretly smug when he suddenly saw the maid Mary coming over with a cup of tea.
Could it be that you've already done it?
The curvature of the corners of Qin Ranran's mouth became deeper after hearing the maid's words.
"It's done, Miss Qin."
"Good! Mary, I knew you wouldn't let me down! Let's wait to see the show!"
"Well, Miss Qin, thank you for your necklace, I'm going to bring tea to the third lady, go first."
"Third Miss's tea?"
Qin Ranran knew that the third lady in the Li family's mouth was Li Sanqing, the daughter of Li Sanye! That woman has been a proper princess since she was born, and she is extremely noble, she has secretly poked herself countless times, why is there no such good birth!
Qin Ranran's eyes lit up on the tea in the hand of the maid Mary, thinking that the tea customized by Li Sanqing must be different from ordinary tea, she is now the adopted daughter of the Li family, why should she be inferior?
"Give me a taste of this tea!" She called the maid.
