In a small mansion somewhere in the capital, two maid-like people were squatting under the porch, looking at the small stove where medicinal herbs were boiling.

In this small mansion, there is Ye Qiong's fourth uncle Ye Zuhui's family.

Previously, Ye Qiong and the second uncle Ye Chanyan reached an agreement to place the homeless Ye Zuhui family in this small mansion, and each room of the Ye family sent a few subordinates to take care of them.

The injury on Ye Zuhui's crotch has been healed, but his body is much worse, and when he entered the winter, he contracted a cough again, and he took more medicine than he ate every day, which made these subordinates complain.

The medicine jar on the small stove was steaming, and the younger maid couldn't wait, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was slapped open by another older maid, and reprimanded: "Xiaoman, the lid of this medicine jar can't be opened until time, otherwise it will hurt the medicinal properties." ”

The maid named Xiaoman stuck out her tongue and said flatteringly: "Sister Cui Sleeve, you know so much, no wonder the third master sent you to take care of the fourth master." ”

Cui Sleeves snorted arrogantly, but the expression on his face eased a lot, and he took the initiative to talk to Xiaoman: "We were sent here to serve the fourth master, so naturally we have to know more." ”

When Xiao Man heard this, he guessed that her fart should be in place, so he smiled and said tentatively: "Sister is so smart, she was a second-class maid by Mrs. Tai's side before, and she is reluctant to stay here all the time if she wants to come to the third room, Steward Ye came here yesterday, just to bring my sister back, right?" ”

Cui Sleeve sneered and said, "Steward Ye is here to take me away, he just came to see the fourth master." ”

As he spoke, Cui Sleeve covered his mouth with a pu fan again, and mysteriously gossiped to Xiaoman: "I heard that the fourth master was thrown here because of a crime. When Steward Ye came yesterday, didn't I go in to deliver tea? At that time, I vaguely heard the fourth master scolding the second master for talking nothing, and begged Steward Ye to invite the eldest master, you say, what is going on. I want to go back, the fourth master called the eldest master to come over, maybe he just wanted to apologize and go back to Yefu, when the time comes, maybe we can go back together. ”

Xiao Man chuckled in his heart and said a few more words to Cui Sleeve, and left, but he didn't notice Cui Sleeve behind him sneering: "Want to inquire about the news from me?" Well, I've got news from your mouth. ”

On the other hand, Xiaoman really told Cao's mother what Cui Sleeve said as Cui Sleeve said.

Mother Cao is the housekeeper mother brought by the Jiang family from her mother's family, and she has her own majesty in the second room of the Ye family. After hearing the news, Cao's mother's eyebrows rose high, first took off a silver bracelet from her hand, and after sending away Xiao Man with an expectant face, she immediately found an excuse to leave the house, and reported the matter to Jiang Yi, the housekeeper of the Ye family's second room, Jiang Yi did not dare to slack off after hearing this, and reported the matter to Ye Chanyan in person.

Ye Chanyan listened to the announcement, a fierce look flashed on his face, and he said to Jiang Yi: "Since my good fourth brother is restless and likes to find death by himself, then there is no need to keep him until tomorrow." ”

Jiang Yi understood, and stuffed a packet of medicinal powder into the hands of Cao's mother, who was waiting for the news, although there was a smile on his face, the words he said were extremely cold: "It's not the first time you've seen this medicinal powder, how to use it, you shouldn't need me to teach you, right?" ”

Cao's mother shuddered, and when she saw that Jiang Yi was still staring at her, she dared to put away the medicine powder and hurried back to the small courtyard.

Jiang Yi was called back by Ye Chanyan again.

Ye Chanyan was letting Jiang change his clothes for him to go out, and instructed Jiang Yi: "Go and prepare a gift, follow me to the mansion of Lord Xie, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple." The gifts should be thicker, we are going to come to the door to get married, not to make enemies. ”

Jiang, who was tying Ye Chanyan's belt, looked up at Ye Chanyan, Ye Chanyan lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm going to tell Qin'er about my family, Mei'er's family affairs, I have other arrangements." They don't want to marry in-laws in the third room, but we are very happy in the second room. I don't know if Sanfang will regret it after this matter is negotiated? After speaking, Ye Chanyan laughed to himself.

Jiang straightened Ye Chanyan's collar and said with a smile: "Then, I'll wait for the good news from the master." ”

When Ye Chanyan changed his clothes, Jiang Yi had already prepared the gifts and put them in the carriage.

As soon as Ye Chanyan stepped out of the door, Ye Qiong, who had been sending people to keep an eye on the second room, received the news.

At that time, Ye Qiong was playing chess with herself, and when she heard the news, she only raised her eyebrows, and after she dropped another son on the chessboard, she instructed Ye Er, who came to report: "Go and send a message to the eldest uncle, just say that the fourth uncle is critically ill, and ask him to go to the fourth uncle tonight no matter what." ”

Ye Er should be down.

Ye Qiong looked down at the chessboard, the blacks on the chessboard had the upper hand, and the whites were mostly eaten, and it seemed that they were in danger. Ye Qiong stretched out his hand, and dropped another white child, and the situation on the chessboard was reversed in an instant, it turned out that Bai Zi's weakness was just a game, luring the enemy to go deeper, and then dividing and dissolving, and finally eating it up.

Ye Qiong waved his hand to let Du Juan collect the chess pieces, and said to Du Juan with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to my good fourth uncle to have a look, tonight, there is a good show." ”

……………………

It's already time.

Ye Zuhui was lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep horizontally and vertically, every time he just felt sleepy, the itch in his throat came up, making him can't help coughing. After coughing a few times, his throat would be more comfortable, but after a while, the itch would hit again, tormenting Ye Zuhui so much that he couldn't sleep at night, and his body lost a lot of weight.

After another cough, Ye Zuhui simply sat up, hissing and panting, staring at the bed tent and counting, hoping to use such a stupid method to make himself fall asleep.

His head was little by little, and he was about to fall asleep, but he was suddenly pushed by someone, and just wanted to scold, he saw clearly that the person who came was his mother Cao, who he couldn't afford to provoke the most, and swallowed the insult back into his stomach, and snorted: "Mother Cao, what are you doing?" ”

Mother Cao hung up the bed tent with a smile, picked up the steaming medicine bowl and blew it, and said, "Fourth master, I'm here to deliver medicine to you." The doctor said that this medicine should be drunk every three hours, don't you remember? ”

"That's the thing." Ye Zuhui said suspiciously, "But, isn't it always Cui Sleeve who delivers the medicine, what about her?" ”

"The girl with green sleeves is also infected with the cold, and she is afraid that she will be sick, so she handed over the matter to me." As she spoke, Cao's mother held the medicine bowl to Ye Zuhui's mouth with her own hands, seeing that Ye Zuhui was still a little suspicious, she even tasted the decoction herself, and said, "Master, drink the medicine while it's hot, it's cold, but it's not medicative." ”

Although Ye Zuhui was jealous that Cao's mother was the second brother Ye Chanyan's person, he saw Cao's mother smiling kindly, and even tried the medicine herself, so he relieved his heart and reached out to take the medicine bowl.

Just as Ye Zuhui was about to drink the decoction, the door of the wing room was suddenly opened, and Ye Zhujin shouted: "Fourth brother, don't drink it!" ”

Ye Zuhui's hand trembled, most of the decoction spilled out, and he looked at Cao's mother in shock.

Mother Cao didn't have time to be surprised by Ye Zhujin's arrival, she tried hard to pick her throat, and it took a long time to spit out some of the medicinal juice, and she lay on the ground panting in embarrassment, holding her stomach and sighing.

It was Ye Qiong who stepped into the room after Ye Zhujin, her expression was flat, as if she had expected this scene a long time ago, she first took the medicine bowl from the panicked Ye Zuhui, and then brought the medicine bowl to Dr. Sun, who was with her and invited early in the morning, and asked, "Doctor Sun, look at it, what should not be added to this?" ”

Doctor Sun sniffed it, tasted it himself, only tasted one bite and then took it out, stuffed the pill into his mouth, and said, "Add aconite." Although aconitum is also a medicinal material, if it is not used correctly, it is highly poisonous, as long as a little bit can make people palpitate and chest tightness, abdominal pain is unbearable, if this bowl of medicine is drunk, it will die in less than an hour. ”

Hearing that it was highly poisonous, Ye Zuhui was stunned for a moment, and then rushed to Dr. Sun with a rolling belt, stretched out his hand and said, "Are you a doctor, can you help me see if I have been poisoned?" ”

Seeing that Ye Qiong nodded to him, Doctor Sun took Ye Zuhui's pulse and said: "It's really strange, you have poison on your body, but it is not the poison of aconite, but it is the same kind of poison as the two fake monks in the previous soul calling case, but the weight is very light, and it seems to have been broken two months ago." Although it is harmful to the body, it only needs to be treated slowly by taking medicine. ”

Ye Zhujin and Ye Qiong glanced at each other, thinking the same thing in their hearts.

Two months ago, it was when Ye Zuhui was still temporarily living in the second room, and since then, Ye Zuhui has moved here.

Cao's mother was still rolling on the ground in pain, and when she saw Dr. Sun's superb medical skills, she crawled in front of Dr. Sun and begged: "Doctor, help me take a look, I can't stand it, it hurts too much, it hurts too much!" ”

Doctor Sun looked at Ye Qiong again, Ye Qiong said with a cold face: "This mother is a poisoner, and it is still useful for the Ye family to keep her, please ask Doctor Sun to come to the rescue." ”

Doctor Sun bowed his head, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Second Miss Ye doesn't have to be polite. We have already said before, I appreciate what the Ye family did when they were treating the homeless, and the second girl Ye is willing to give me some of the potpourri paste for me to study, I am naturally willing to listen to your orders, and please rest assured that the second girl Ye. ”

Ye Qiong thanked her again, Dr. Sun had been a Tai Yi Zheng, and he was a noble person with medical ethics recognized by Mr. Zou, so Ye Qiong naturally had nothing to worry about.

Dr. Sun squatted down, checked Cao's mother's pulse, fed a pill, and said, "There is still salvation, but this stomach has been poisoned by this poison, and I can only eat some gruel and rice noodles in the future." ”

Cao's mother's eyes widened, and tears welled up in her eyes as she took the pill in her mouth. Ye Chanyan's face was even darker, and he was so angry that he insulted Ye Chanyan, and his eldest uncle Ye Zhujin sat in the circle chair with a cold face, and the whole person seemed to be frozen.

Ye Qiong sighed.

The second uncle's poisoning of his own brother, and even the mastermind of the soul-calling case, hit the eldest uncle too hard, and the eldest uncle didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Why not?

All the doubts, heartaches, and hatred were surging in her heart, but Ye Qiong could only force herself to stay calm.

Only by calming down for the time being can we know what the second uncle is doing behind his back.

Outside the wing room, the nursing home arranged by Ye Er and Steward Ye carried a few people sent by the second room that were tightly tied, and there were also Cui sleeves with a frightened face. Ye Er threw those people in front of Cao's mother and said, "Master, girl, we found out that these people were sneakily trying to escape, so we tied them all up. Also, Cui Sleeve found a packet of medicinal powder in her cage, and I don't know who put it in her cage. ”

"Doctor Sun, please take a look at this packet of medicinal powder, whether it is the aconitum poison in my fourth uncle's decoction." Ye Qiong said.

Cui Sleeve hurriedly handed the packet of medicinal powder to Dr. Sun with both hands, Dr. Sun sniffed it, and said firmly: "That's right, this is aconitum poison!" ”

"It seems that there are still people who want to blame Cui Sleeve's head, and then blame it on Sanfang's head." Ye Qiong sneered, "A few of you sent by the second room, you can open your eyes and see clearly, take a good look at Mother Cao's fate!" Because, perhaps, this will also be your fate in the future. ”

Xiao Man looked at Cao's mother, who was lying on the ground half-dead and in tears, trembling like chaff.

Ye Er secretly glanced at Ye Qiong and Ye Zhujin's expressions, Ye Qiong noticed Ye Er's small movements, and asked, "Ye Er, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Ye Er hurriedly knelt down and hesitated for a while before saying: "The news I just got, Lord Xie Maoshi has already made an appointment with the official media, and also invited Yin Chen Dongliang of Jingzhao Mansion to talk to the matchmaker, and go to Huaihua Hutong early tomorrow morning to propose to Miss Qin for his youngest son." ”

Ye Zhu stood up from the circle chair and scolded angrily: "A beast with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, regardless of brotherly affection, and regardless of the kinship of children!" The marriage that the third brother didn't want, he turned his head and snatched it, this is a slap in the face of our entire Ye family! I, Ye Zhujin, how can I have such a sibling? Zu Hui, you said, if you don't spit out everything you know today, I'll throw you on the street and leave you to fend for yourself! ”

Ye Chanyan was so frightened that he bent his knees and fell to the ground, in the first half of his life for decades, he had never seen Ye Zhujin so angry, and now he knew that his eldest brother, who seemed to be the most loyal and gentle, was not much kinder than his compassionate second brother. Ye Chanyan was so frightened that he shouted: "I said, I'll say everything!" ”

Ye Qiong gave Ye Er and Du Juan a look, and asked them to take the people in the second room down to ask questions first, and clear the place, Ye Er and Du Juan understood in their hearts, and in an instant, only Ye Qiong, the eldest uncle Ye Zhujin and the fourth uncle Ye Zuhui were left in the wing.

Compared with Ye Zhujin's anger, Ye Qiong breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and sat down under Ye Zhujin.

Today's situation was all planned by Ye Qiong.

Ye Qiong first passed false news to the informant who was placed by the second uncle's side, so that the second uncle thought that the fourth uncle had the idea of betraying him, and forced the second uncle to give him a hand, so that the second uncle jumped over the wall in a hurry, eager to kill the fourth uncle.

In addition, how could a person like Erbo who is hungry for profit let go of the opportunity to go online with the Xie family?

The Xie family in the capital proposed to Ye Qiong, but it was just because the Ye family's future was just right.

In the eyes of outsiders, the third and second rooms of the Ye family are both Ye families, the third room refused to propose, and the second room still has a daughter to marry. In the eyes of the Xie family in the capital, it is no different which room to choose, and if you choose the second room, the second uncle may give the Xie family more benefits in the capital.

What's more, with this relationship with the Xie family in the capital, even if the fourth uncle really betrayed the second uncle, so that the second uncle lost the support of the Ye family, the second uncle also had the Xie family to rely on.

The Xie family in the capital is a family matter, and it is impossible for the second uncle not to be moved.

On Ye Qiong's side, he was able to force the fourth uncle to force the fourth uncle by killing people and destroying his mouth, and together with the eldest uncle, he knew the truth of the soul-calling case from the mouth of the fourth uncle, and even solved the matter of the Xie family's marriage proposal in the capital in one fell swoop.

Ye Qiong looked at the fourth uncle who was hesitating how to speak, and her heart was mixed.

I wonder what kind of truth she will hear with her uncle tonight?
