Rong Fei first arched his hand to apologize, and then asked.

"Forgive the little nephew for being abrupt, dare to ask the city lord, Miss Yue'e is your biological daughter?"

"Hmm... It's natural. I don't know why the virtuous nephew has this question? ”

Qiu Moyan wondered.

"Excuse me again, how many wives and concubines does the city lord have? In which house was Miss Yue'e born in? ”

Rong Fei did not answer, but continued to ask.

"I'm not afraid of the jokes of the virtuous nephew, in addition to the wife, the old man also has seventeen concubines. And Yue'e was born in the fourth concubine room, and the old man was already forty and three that year, which can be regarded as an old woman. ”

Although Qiu Moyan is a city lord, he is a sincere person. At the same time, not being able to give birth to an heir to inherit the family business is the biggest regret of his life, so when he heard Rong Fei mention this matter, he immediately had a glimmer of hope and answered truthfully.

After all, people from the outside may have some magical means to solve this problem.

Seventeen concubines...

This number really shocked Rong Fei.

Coupled with the fact that there are eighteen wives, it is really not easy for this old city lord Qiu to live to this age.

Putting away the messy thoughts in his heart, Rong Fei continued to return to the topic and asked.

"Since Miss Yue'e is your own child, it means that there is definitely nothing wrong with your body. But after so many years, the city lord doesn't feel strange? ”

"Ugh..."

Qiu Moyan let out a long sigh.

"How can I not feel strange, but I have visited famous doctors for many years and taken countless herbs, but there is still no result."

"If someone does something with secret medicine, it will not only fail to heal the disease, but it will be counterproductive."

"You can rest assured that this is good. All the medicines need to be checked by Liu Chen first, and after confirming that they are foolproof, the old man will take them. ”

Qiu Moyan cut the railway.

Rong Fei smiled and didn't refute, then pointed to the dishes on the table and asked the old housekeeper Liu Chen.

"Have you checked all these dishes?"

"Mr. Hui Rong's words, the master's meals have always been cooked by the old slave himself, and no one else is allowed to interfere. And every time it is done, the old slave will set aside some tastings from it, not only to ensure that it meets the taste of the master, but also to prevent the ill-intentioned person from poisoning and assassinating. ”

The old butler replied with a slight bow.

"Heartily protect the Lord, and the performance is good."

Rong Fei stared at the old butler's eyes and played with the taste.

"Why did Mr. Rong say that?"

Qiu Moyan was surprised when he heard this.

"Although I don't know how to use medicine, I have been helping my insiders with medicinal herbs since I was a child. Because he was born with a dog's nose, he knows a lot about the smell of various medicinal herbs. Even though there are a lot of spices added to these plates that mask the smell, you can still smell it. ”

As he spoke, Rong Fei asked, pointing to a plate of dishes.

"Dare to ask Steward Liu, why does this plate of stir-fried vegetables smell of yellow essence in his heart. There is also this plate of back pot meat, to which is added with herbs. There are ...... in this plate"

Every time Rong Fei's finger pointed to a plate of dishes, the name of an herb would be reported in his mouth.

Liu Chen waited for Rong Fei to finish speaking, and then replied unhurriedly.

"Mr. Rong is very talented, and he can smell the smell of these medicinal herbs, so he should also know what the medicinal properties of these medicinal herbs are, right?"

"All of them are good products for consolidating the foundation and replenishing the kidney yang."

Rong Fei replied.

"That being the case, the old slave doesn't understand the meaning of Mr. Rong's previous words. The doctor is cloudy, and food is better than gold and stone. The old slave has a heart of fists, just to recuperate the old man's body, how can he say that he is 'acting'? ”

"I'm afraid the virtuous nephew has misunderstood. Liu Chen and I are the master and servant, but in fact, they are like brothers, and he will never harm me. ”

Qiu Moyan also hurriedly explained.

"Hehe, what Steward Liu said is not bad. However, one or two things are good medicine, but they all add up to not necessarily. There is also this pair of chopsticks used by the city lord, if I look at it well, it should be made by Lei Gongteng. ”

Rong Fei glanced at the pair of chopsticks placed in front of Qiu Moyan and said, then turned his gaze to the long desk not far from the left front.

This is Qiu Moyan's study, with a few books he has recently read, pen and ink paper, and a unique incense burner on the desk.

There was no incense burning in the incense burner at the moment, and Rong Fei smelled the faint musk aroma in the study when he first came in.

Although musk is precious, it is like Qiu Moyan's identity, and it is common to burn this incense, so Rong Fei didn't care about it at the beginning.

It wasn't until the old housekeeper Liu Chen served the dishes and saw the pair of Lei Gong rattan chopsticks specially prepared for Qiu Moyan that Rong Fei suddenly noticed the abnormality.

"It is a medicine that is poisoned in three parts, and there is no common sense between a good medicine that cures diseases and saves people's lives and poisons that harm people's lives. Yellow essence, rhizome... Therefore, it is a good product to warm and replenish kidney yang, but if you use Tripterygium wilfordii and musk as medicine, it will become a desperate medicine that makes people unable to have children. ”

Qiu Moyan glanced at Liu Chen, who was silent and silent on the side, lowered his head and pondered for a moment before explaining to Rong Fei.

"The old man didn't think that the virtuous nephew was alarmist, but he firmly believed that Liu Chen didn't harm me. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding, or maybe it's just a coincidence. Besides, if Liu Chen really has any crooked thoughts, with the relationship between the two of us, it is easy to take my life, and there is no reason to take such a lot of effort. ”

"The lord of the city is benevolent."

Rong Fei bowed his hand to Qiu Moyan, and then turned his gaze to Liu Chen.

"Does Steward Liu have words?"

"I don't know what the old slave is guilty of, so that Mr. Rong wants to frame it like this."

Liu Chen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Rong Fei smiled and asked Qiu Moyan again.

"Does the city lord remember the time when Miss Yue'e was born a year or so, did anything unusual happen?"

"Unusual..."

Qiu Moyan muttered, his eyes showing a look of memory. After a while, he said slowly.

"That year, my father was still alive, and I had not yet succeeded to the position of city lord, so I would often ride horses and hike with my close friends, and I would not return for several months. It was on that way that I met the purple kite and fell in love at first sight. When he returned, he took her as a concubine. Ten months later, Yue'e came into the world......"

In the end, the doubt in Qiu Moyan's eyes was getting stronger and stronger.

Qiu Moyan is just kind-hearted, but not really stupid. was reminded by Rong Fei to this extent, how could he not realize the problem.

When he traveled that year, Liu Chen didn't follow him.

In those months, I was eating, drinking, and having fun with a group of fox friends and dog friends, spending all day and drinking, and eating without any contamination with Liu Chen's cooking.

But even so, Qiu Moyan still couldn't believe that Liu Chen would betray and harm him.

Therefore, although his heart was shaken, he only groaned and did not speak.

"Once suspicion arises, the charge is established. Regardless of whether Steward Liu admits it or not, the friendship between you and the city lord has broken down, and there will be no way back to the past. Besides, the Qiu clan in Qingfeng City has reached the point where it is now, there is no need to continue to hide it, so Steward Liu might as well just tell the truth, and let the Qiu City Lord die to understand. ”

Rong Fei said to Liu Chen with a smile.

Liu Chen raised his lowered head and looked at Rong Fei coldly.

"Playing with people's hearts, what does Mr. Rong want?"

"I haven't handled a case for a long time, it's just an itch!"

Rong Fei shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

As soon as the words fell, a stream of torture qi poured into his body.
