Chapter 8: Poison in the Cup
Apricot 's heart suddenly beat wildly!
She forced herself to suppress the excitement in her heart, held her waist, and shouted at the girl: "It doesn't matter, my waist is about to be broken by you...... Oops, help me to sit down over there. ”
The girl hurriedly helped her sit down, and said courteously: "Sister Xing'er, you sit down and rest, I'll pour you a glass of water to drink?" ”
Xing'er waved her hand: "Go and go, I just happened to be drinking a lot at this time." ”
The girl responded with a stack of "yes", and hurriedly trotted to bring a cup of tea to Xing'er, and then put on a flattering smile: "Sister Xing'er, I put honey in the tea, you taste it, it's sweet." ”
Xing'er's little nose wrinkled, and she snorted: "Hmph, count yourself as a little hoof." ”
Take the tea and drink it dry.
Then she stuffed the empty cup into the girl's hand, waved her hand angrily, and hurried away: "Okay, okay, okay, you go and get busy, don't want to be lazy with me." ”
As soon as the maid left, Xing'er hurriedly quietly touched her sleeve pocket, and sure enough, she found that there was a small medicine bag inside.
It's hidden enough, she's on guard, and she doesn't even realize it.
Xing'er sneered in her heart, she was busy for a while, and then she left like no one.
It wasn't until she went back to the room and saw Qin Jiuniang that the little girl felt scared, her legs were soft and her feet were soft, she sat on the chair with her buttocks, and said to Qin Jiuniang with a white face: "Madam, I finished drinking that tea, and there is no sip left!" ”
She's so brave!
That's a cup of poisoned tea!!
Xing'er said as she took out a small medicine bag and handed it to Qin Jiuniang.
"Ma'am, this is the little slut who quietly stuffed it into my sleeve!"
Qin Jiuniang didn't care about the medicine bag, and first stuffed a candy into her mouth: "This is an antidote pill, swallow it quickly." ”
The detoxification card has been used by Xing'er for a long time, but now it is just a cover-up, and it is also to make Xing'er feel at ease.
However, for the sake of safety, Qin Jiuniang still asked Xiao Fubao to exchange for a physical examination card, confirming that there was no residual poison left on Xing'er's body, she was relieved, and then picked up the small medicine bag on the table, opened it, and saw that it was indeed half a package of abortion pills.
In the last life, it was this half pack of abortion pills that cost her and Xing'er's lives.
As for this life...... Hum.
Qin Jiuniang sneered.
In this life, she wants to treat others in the way of others.
On the other side, in the Furong Courtyard, Liu Furong was pacing back and forth in the house, until a maid ran in and whispered something in her ear, she smiled, and then asked the girl uneasily:
"Ning Xiang, that girl next to Madame, really drank all the cups of poisoned tea?"
Ning Xiang is the girl ring with a black mole on her chin, and she is Liu Furong's henchman.
She nodded and said, "Well, it's all drunk, and the slave and maid watched her drink it with her own eyes, and there was not a drop left!" ”
Without waiting for Liu Furong to ask again, Ning Xiang said again: "There is also the half package of abortion pills, and the slave maid has also quietly stuffed it into her sleeve pocket!" ”
At this point, Liu Furong's heart was completely put back in her stomach, she casually pulled out a golden hairpin on her head and handed it to Ning Xiang: "Well done, this is a reward for you." ”
The weight of the golden hairpin is not light, and it is heavy in the hand, which can be worth the salary of a big girl for two or three years.
Ning Xiang took it happily, rolled her eyes, and complimented: "Thank you, Mrs. for the reward!" ”
She is Liu Furong's dowry ring, what kind of temperament is the master who has served for many years, Ning Xiang couldn't be clearer.
The master of her family, but she dreams of being the wife of the main room.
Sure enough, the sentence "Thank you Mrs. for rewarding" coaxed Liu Furong to feel comfortable, and rewarded another pair of jade bracelets out, and then instructed Ning Xiang: "Ning Xiang, put makeup on me, Mrs. Ben will surprise the four today." ”
……
In the blink of an eye, the guests began to come to the door one after another, and the open space in front of the Shen family was full of luxurious carriages parked one after another.
These people who got off the carriage were all well-known figures in the Jiangzhou business district, all of them were richly dressed and had an extraordinary bearing.
And most of them came for Qin Jiuniang's face.
There is no other reason, because everyone in the circle knows that the Shen family can become a wealthy person in the circle of the rich and become an upstart in just a few years, almost all of which rely on Qin Jiuniang's contributions.
The Shen family's rouge shop, as well as the embroidery workshop, which one is not Qin Jiuniang's one hand and one foot?
As for Shen Chongde, the lord of the Shen family...... That's a good ghost who eats soft rice.
A small merchant who walks the streets and alleys, and he doesn't know what great fortune he has accumulated in his previous life, he married such a capable and good daughter-in-law.
Everyone felt sorry for Shen Chongde's good life, and they really admired Qin Jiuniang's way of doing business, so it was clear that Shen Chongde and Qin Jiuniang were both picking up guests in front of the door, but almost all the guests who came invariably chose to greet Qin Jiuniang first, and finally symbolically bowed their hands to Shen Chongde, the head of the family.
That attitude should be more perfunctory and perfunctory.
Shen Chongde bit his white teeth until he was sore, so that the smile on his face did not collapse.
If you endure it any longer, you will be able to get rid of the woman who pressed him in no time!
Generally, the snow banquet is to enjoy the snow scene first, and then sit down to eat.
The so-called appreciation of snow scenery is not as simple as simply looking at the snow scene, but appreciating various snow and ice sculptures.
In the back garden of the Shen family, a large open space was deliberately cleared, filled with all kinds of beautiful ice sculptures and snow sculptures, and a group of guests walked on the specially paved snow path, while stepping on the snow, while admiring the ice sculptures and snow sculptures on both sides of the path, laughing and laughing for a while, so lively.
These bustles were all experienced by Qin Jiuniang in the previous life, and the content of the guests' conversations was almost the same as in the previous life, and there was no freshness at all.
Fortunately, as the head of the house, she has many other things to do, but she doesn't have to accompany her all the time.
Besides, isn't there a person next to him who has sharpened his head and wants to accompany the guest?
She's got to give people a chance, no.
Liu Furong has been following all the way, and she has never found a chance to speak, and now when she heard that Qin Jiuniang was going to be busy with the banquet, she was overjoyed in her heart, and as soon as Qin Jiuniang left, she immediately couldn't wait to stand with Shen Chongde.
Shen Chongde knew what her idea was, and it was too late to create a chance for her, so naturally he wouldn't mind her little transgression.
The guests had already noticed Liu Furong.
After all, Liu Furong has such an outstanding face, and she is deliberately dressed up, which is very eye-catching, and it is difficult not to be noticed.
Just because she has been following behind Qin Jiuniang, everyone thought she was Qin Jiuniang's maid, and once sighed that Qin Jiuniang had a big heart and dared to put such a beautiful maid by her side.
As a result, I didn't expect that the beautiful maid turned out to be Shen Chongde's concubine.
Now the men are even more sour.
Men love beauties, especially the delicate and gentle beauty of Liu Hibiscus.
There are those who have poor morality, staring at Liu Furong, their eyes are about to fall out of their sockets.
There are even those who don't have a door on their mouths, and bluntly envy Shen Chongde's good fortune and accept such a stunning little Jiao'e.
Shen Chongde's vanity was greatly satisfied.
He smiled and said to everyone: "Aunt Liu was pregnant three months after entering the door, I thought this would be a happy event, so ah, I will let her go out for a walk, so that she can pass on this luck to everyone." ”
In a few words, it was explained why Liu Furong, as a concubine, appeared at the Xixue banquet.
Good luck, who doesn't love that.
Originally, there were quite a few complaints about Liu Furong, thinking that she was a concubine, and the guests who should not appear on such occasions changed their views.
Especially those wives who have been married for many years, but have not been able to get pregnant for a long time, thinking that Liu Furong will be pregnant after marrying Shen Chongde for three months, it can be seen that she is a blessed person, so they all move closer to her intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to rub off on good fortune and good luck.
Liu Furong never dreamed that Shen Chongde would put such a thick layer of golden light on her, so that she would easily integrate into the circle of these noble ladies.
She was surprised and excited, and immediately used all her skills to coax the ladies into laughter.
Seeing that the time was almost up, she rubbed her eyebrows, revealing a slightly painful look, and everyone hurriedly asked what was going on.
Her maid Huan Ningxiang had been preparing for a long time, and when she released the signal, she hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "My aunt accidentally annoyed Mrs. two days ago, and Mrs. punished my aunt for kneeling in the ice and snow for an hour. ”
"The doctor said, fortunately, my aunt is very blessed, if she were an ordinary pregnant woman and knelt in such ice and snow for an hour, the child would definitely not be saved."
What kind of master there is, what kind of girl ring there is, Ning Xiang also deliberately bit the words "ice and snow" very hard, and even emphasized it twice.
