It's winter, and the Ye family is also a rich and noble family, so they let people ignite the earth dragon early, and a charcoal basin is also placed in the room without the earth dragon, making the Songhe Hall warm as spring, if the clothes are too thick, they will even sweat.

There were also a lot of beads of sweat on Hu's forehead, but it was not hot, but panicked.

This Su Shi didn't know what he found, so he suddenly abducted Lang'er and cried in front of the master, saying that someone was trying to harm her and the child in her womb, and everything in and out of the words pointed to her. The old man really believed Su's words, and wanted to hear what Fan's mother said.

Fan's mother is the housekeeper mother brought by Su's from her mother's house, what can Fan's mother say, she is naturally facing Su's everywhere and wants to splash sewage on herself!

In the big house of the Ye Mansion, the Su family wanted to drive away the most, but the only thing she wanted to drive away was her mother-in-law, who was pressing on her head!

No matter how panicked Hu was, although the inside of Songhe Hall was warm and comfortable, the atmosphere was quite cold. Ye Zhujin sat on the throne with a cold face, and Hu, as Ye Zhujin's wife, sat beside Ye Zhujin. On the other side, sitting in the circle chair was Su Shi with red eyes and covering his lower abdomen. Ye Lang did not sit, but stood beside Su Shi and carefully guarded her, his lips pursed slightly, and there seemed to be some anger between his eyebrows.

No one spoke, until a faint sound of speech came from outside the Songhe Hall, and a little maid walked in quickly and said, "Report to the eldest master, the second girl in the third room came over with Young Master Po, and she came here with Mother Fan." ”

Hu Shi's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help muttering: "Why is this girl here again, the big house is not her ......" As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Shi saw Ye Zhujin, who was sitting beside him, squinting at her and squinting at her, staring at her so that her hairs stood on end, and she didn't dare to say anything more.

Contrary to the Hu family, the Su family, who had been nervous, took a long breath and relaxed his expression.

But after a while, Ye Qiong led Ye Po in, asked his eldest uncle Ye Zhujin for peace, and had a parity with Ye Lang and Su, but he skipped the eldest aunt Hu, which made Hu's face darken.

Hu Shi was unhappy in his heart, because Ye Po was also there, and was saluting her and Ye Zhujin, so he didn't say much, and when Ye Po finished saluting, he smiled and stretched out his hand to call Ye Po: "Po'er, come, come here." ”

Ye Po turned around and ran straight to Ye Qiong's side, stood beside Ye Qiong obediently, and said: "Father, mother, I know that my father, mother, and brother and sister-in-law are going to get down to business, and I am also a big child, although I still don't understand much about what you said, I don't want to miss it, so I asked Cousin Qiong to bring me over." ”

Ye Qiong didn't expect Ye Po to look at her like this, and she was a little surprised in her heart, but she still smiled and said, "Uncle, since Po Ge'er said so, can I stay and listen to what you want to discuss?" ”

Hu's face was even darker, and he secretly scolded Ye Qiong in his heart for giving Ye Po an unknown drug, so that Ye Po listened to Ye Qiong's words with all his heart.

Ye Zhujin's face softened a lot, a smile of relief appeared on his face, and he said to Ye Qiong: "You are your own family, and this matter has something to do with you, so what can't you hear." Saying that, Ye Zhujin gave Ye Lang a look, Ye Lang nodded, and personally went to invite Fan's mother in.

Mother Fan lowered her head, followed by the egret, and in the heron's hand, she was carrying the maid with her hair in a messy bun that Ye Qiong had seen before. The maid had her hands and feet tied, and her mouth was stuffed with cloth, and when she saw Hu, she whined.

Hu Shi had a sigh in his heart, although he had already guessed something, he still pretended to be puzzled and asked Su Shi: "Daughter-in-law, why are you doing this, what are you doing with my eldest maid?" Jiao'er is my big girl, you tied her up like this for no reason, did you want to embarrass me?! ”

Hu's last sentence was hoarse, but there was a faint lack of confidence.

Everyone present could understand it, Ye Qiong sneered in her heart, seeing that Ye Po beside her lowered his eyes and seemed unwilling to look directly at Hu's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic, so he picked up a piece of tea on a few cases and handed it to Ye Po, and whispered: "It's still early, can you have breakfast?" I've used it and eaten some, I'm afraid I'll have to make trouble. ”

Ye Po whispered thanks, carefully took the refreshment, hung his head and took small sips to quickly use it up. After eating, Ye Po inadvertently wiped the corners of his eyes with the mouth of his sleeve, Ye Qiong just didn't see it, and handed over another cup of tea.

Su Shi, who was sitting opposite Ye Qiong, was already crying and sobbed: "Father! My mother-in-law is an elder, and I am a junior, if I didn't really have the evidence, how could I let Fan's mother bet on Jiao'er and offend my mother-in-law? I specially invited my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and father-in-law to come today, just to ask you to be a witness, it is my mother-in-law who wants to harm me, and I want to harm my father! ”

As soon as the words fell, Hu Shi jumped up from the chair, pointed at Su Shi and scolded: "Full of nonsense! How could I hurt you, and my father! Daughter-in-law, I know that since the last incident, there has been a gap between you and me, and you have always been suspicious of me. But you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately, you can speak, but you must have real evidence! ”

Su's cry was a little higher, and Ye Lang held her shoulder, but it was not good to directly come forward to confront her mother. Ye Qiong gave Fan's mother, who was eager to try but didn't know whether she should come forward, and Fan's mother immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, young master, the old slave has something to report......

"What are you?" Hu immediately shouted, "You are just a slave, how dare you speak in front of your master's house, there is no place for you to speak here!" ”

Mother Fan was speechless for a moment, and Su Shi also stopped crying, and was about to argue for a few points, but Ye Qiong, who had been silent, had already taken over the conversation and said with a smile: "What Aunt said is not right. Fan's mother is the housekeeper mother brought out by her sister-in-law from the Su family, and she is also the grandmother of her cousin-in-law, and the grandmother is also half a mother, and Fan's mother is qualified to say a few words on behalf of the Su family. Now that my sister-in-law is pregnant, it is not appropriate to be happy and sad, let Fan's mother say a few words for her, can't we tolerate a generous family like the Ye family? ”

Hu Shi stared at Ye Qiong who was smiling fiercely, even if he was so angry that the roots of his teeth were itching, he still had nothing to do with Ye Qiong.

Fan's mother suddenly trembled, and after saluting everyone, she beckoned a maid behind her to come up with a food box and a pot of tea.

Hu's face changed instantly, and he sat back in his position with a stiff face.

Mother Fan personally took the teapot containing the tea, lifted the lid of the teapot, and held the teapot in front of everyone's eyes in Songhe Hall, so that everyone could see what tea leaves and flowers were brewed in the teapot.

Ye Qiong only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.

The contents of the teapot are nothing more than peach blossoms. Peach blossoms are cold, ordinary people may cause diarrhea when they take it, it is a common trick in the harem, Ye Qiong has seen a lot in the palace in her previous life.

Mother Fan finally put the teapot in Ye Zhujin's hand, and after explaining the effect of peach blossoms to everyone, she said: "Master, this thing, but I and Miss Egret watched Jiao'er put it into this teapot with our own eyes, isn't this still evidence?" ”

Hu Shi pulled his face and quibbled: "What kind of evidence is this?" In this world, everyone knows that peach blossoms can make people have diarrhea, maybe Jiao'er recognized the wrong flower and put the peach blossom into the teapot as a rose or something? ”

Jiao'er, who was carried by the egret, suddenly raised her head and whined a few times, listening to the tone of the voice, probably saying "That's right, the slave and maid are wronged."

Fan's mother had already expected Hu Shi to quibble like this, so she took out a plate of refreshments from the food box and said, "Madame doesn't recognize the peach blossoms in the teapot, so she should also recognize the croton in this refreshment!" Croton, that's what everyone knows will cause diarrhea if you eat it! ”

Hu was sweating profusely, and wanted to ask her husband and son to say a few words for herself, but when she turned her head to look, she saw that Ye Zhujin beside her was already staring at him with a dark face, and even Ye Lang and even Ye Po under the seat looked at her with regret and disgust in their eyes.

Hu Shi was full of panic, jumped up from the chair in a hurry, pointed at Fan's mother and said, "How do I know what croton is in this refreshment, isn't this the refreshment you prepared for Su Qingyi, how could I interfere?" ”

Su Shi, who was originally worried about his pregnancy and finally suppressed his anger and sadness, finally couldn't suppress it anymore and shouted loudly: "You didn't interfere? Mother Fan and the egret in the third room saw Jiao'er's hands together, could they still lie? What day is today, the day when my father participated in the debate of the national eunuch, what kind of heart do you have in your food and drink? ”

Hu's head was as big as a fight, and before he had time to think carefully, he opened his mouth and quibbled: "In case Jiao'er made the decision and took the medicine, then maybe it wouldn't be enough!" ”

As soon as he said that, Hu Shi realized what he had said, and simply insisted on saying: "Yes! Jiao'er did it alone, and I didn't know it at all! Jiao'er, you are really bold, dare to take medicine on the tea and snacks that my young grandmother gave to my father-in-law, what are your intentions? ”

Jiao'er closed her eyes, lowered her head and seemed to have nothing to argue, Ye Qiong glanced at the egret faintly, and the egret took off the strip of cloth stuffed in Jiao'er's mouth knowingly.

Jiao'er took a few breaths of urgency, and only after she had breathed well did she say, "Madam is indeed wronged...... This matter was indeed done by the slave and maid alone, and had nothing to do with the lady. The slave maid is a maid sent by Hu Fu, so she naturally yearns for Hu Fu......"

Speaking of this, Jiao'er glared at Su Shi viciously, and continued: "Now everyone in the capital knows that Guozijian has a discussion meeting today, and the two officials who will speak are Master Su, the biological father of the young grandmother, and Master Huang, the disciple of the old man of the Hu family. I was looking for the Hu family in my heart, and naturally hoped that Lord Huang would have more chances of winning, so I mixed peach blossoms and croton in the tea and refreshments respectively. All this is because the slave maid herself wants to help the master of the Hu family, and it has nothing to do with the lady! ”

Jiao'er made the matter clear and clear, Hu Shi covered his chest and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a somewhat smug look on his face, walked up to Jiao'er, and said, "Jiao'er, you are also confused." Now that you are following me, you can be regarded as a member of the Ye family, how can you still think about the affairs of the Hu family? ”

Hu Shi said, and said to Ye Zhujin, who had a colder face and had already seen through the drama between Jiao'er and Hu: "Husband, you see, I didn't do this at all. My daughter-in-law is really, and she wants to button her hat on me before she even figures it out. It has to be my good temper, if my daughter-in-law did such a thing that harmed her mother-in-law's reputation in another family, she would have been swept away by a letter of resignation. ”

Before Su Shi could speak, Ye Lang, who had been silent, couldn't help it anymore and retorted: "Mother! What the hell is going on, you know it yourself! ”

Hu Shi stared, and when he was about to teach Ye Lang a lesson, a somewhat weak voice sounded in Songhe Hall: "Father, mother, and brother and sister-in-law, Po'er has something to say." ”

Everyone saw that Ye Po had already knelt in the hall at some point, and he had straightened his back in a way that was like an adult.

Ye Qiong lowered her head and suppressed her sigh with the tea that was already half-cold.

Without Ye Zhujin's permission, Ye Po had already started to say to himself: "Today, I was going to ask my mother for peace, but when my mother heard that my sister-in-law was coming to say goodbye, she excused myself from asking for peace and let me go to the yard to play by myself." When I had nothing to do, I just made snowballs in my mother's backyard. Soon after, Sister Jiao'er and her mother came over, and I heard ......"

Before Hu Shi could react, Jiao'er, who was originally kneeling on the ground, had already reacted, and immediately wanted to get up and cover Ye Po's mouth, but forgot that he was still tied, and was kicked back to his original position by the egret with a heavy kick, and his chin was removed at Ye Qiong's signal.

Ye Po's voice trembled a little, but he continued clearly and clearly: "I heard my mother personally instruct Sister Jiao'er to mix peach blossoms and crotons into tea and refreshments respectively. Mother also said that peach blossoms have a fragrance suitable for putting in tea, and croton can be ground into powder and put into refreshments so that it is not easy to be discovered, no matter whether Uncle Su is thirsty or hungry, he must be hit. ”

Hu Shi's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said hurriedly: "Po'er, how can you say that, I am your mother!" ”

Ye Po kowtowed with red eyes and said, "Mother, I just hope that you won't make mistakes again and again, and even more so that this matter will cause a murder lawsuit, so I said this." ”

"A murderous lawsuit?" Ye Zhujin keenly grasped the word in Ye Po's words, and asked rhetorically: "What kind of murder lawsuit, Po Ge'er, you will tell you what you see!" ”

Ye Po kowtowed and continued: "Although most of the tea is croton powder, there is also a small part of arsenic. I didn't worry about Sister Jiao'er, so I followed her all the way and watched her take out a small packet of medicinal powder and mix it into croton powder! I originally thought it was something else, but after Sister Jiao'er left, I picked up the paper with the powder she left behind, and when I saw the words on it, I saw that it was arsenic! ”

Hu Shi was so frightened that she sat on the ground, she naturally knew what arsenic was. She asked Jiao'er to take it, obviously it was just a medicine to make people diarrhea, why did she suddenly have more arsenic?

And Jiao'er, who really got arsenic, was still tied hand and foot, and her chin was removed, even if she had the idea of committing suicide, she was powerless.

Ye Zhujin's face was full of frost, and he silently let people take the already frightened Hu Shi down first, and the Su family covered his chest and felt related.

Ye Qiong was full of joy. Fortunately, I asked my sister-in-law to be careful about the eldest aunt's hand, which allowed Fan's mother to catch Jiao'er's current situation, otherwise, this poison would really get into the mouths of my cousin-in-law, Uncle Su, and even herself.

Ye Po was personally helped up by Ye Zhujin and praised: "Fortunately, there is still Po'er, otherwise, this disaster will probably be unavoidable......"

Ye Po's face was flushed, and he hesitated for a while before he said: "Father, the master said that when you make a mistake in the face of your relatives, you should hide from each other. Is it inappropriate for me to do this? ”

Ye Zhujin was a little surprised, sighed with emotion, and then said: "Po'er, do you know that hiding relatives does not mean that all the guilt must be concealed for relatives. One of these types of culpability is a felony such as treason. The second type of culpability is the crime of relatives harming each other, and your mother is guilty of this category. What's more, what is filial piety? Filial piety is not about watching one's relatives make mistakes again and again, but not stopping them. You did a great job of this. ”

Ye Po lowered his head, and the tears that had been holding in his eyes finally fell. After all, Ye Po was still young, and he felt a little embarrassed, so he quit and quit first.

Ye Qiong watched Ye Po leave, and then whispered to Ye Zhujin: "Uncle, it seems that this matter is still aimed at the dispute over the sacrificial wine of the country, and it refers to today's discussion meeting. ”

Ye Zhujin bowed his head and said, "I really didn't expect to use it on your aunt's head...... Your eldest aunt made a big mistake in this matter, and it seems that it is too light to send her to the family temple. I have been married to her for many years, and I know that she is not favored in the Hu family, and I always have a little more love for her. Although she didn't have any great achievements in the affairs of the big house and the clan, there was nothing wrong with it, and she also gave birth to Lang'er and Pur'er, and I couldn't bear it...... But now, she has done such wrong things again and again, and I can't think about love anymore. ”

The implication is that he has already thought about making peace with the Hu family.

This is a matter between the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt, Ye Qiong is not easy to interject, so she said: "It seems that the eldest uncle has made a decision in his heart. Jiao'er's human identity is in our hands, and it won't be too difficult to do this. ”

Ye Zhujin nodded, looked at the sky, and persuaded, "It's almost time." You should go to the Guozijian and see the results. If my father can really win this sacrificial position, we will be able to discuss the matter with the Hu family. ”

A cold look flashed in Ye Qiong's eyes: "Methods such as poisoning and killing people can also be used, how can the disciples taught by such a person be able to afford the position of sacrificial wine?" ”
