Chapter 33: Counting is Counting

"Do you see what they've buried?" Huo Jiuge asked.

Although this bit of incense is made by every big family, Huo Jiuge didn't think that the Qin family would be so kind, especially since she had just planted such a big heel in her hands, and it was not her style to settle things.

So when she saw such a group of people coming to her Lotus Fragrance Courtyard, Huo Jiuge left a thought, and when she and the incense pointer were selecting spices, she asked Qiu Cicada to keep an eye on those people around the Qin family.

And Qiu Chan did see an old woman beside the Qin clan secretly bury something in the corner while everyone was talking, so after sending them all away, she went to the place and dug out the thing she had just buried.

Huo Jiuge looked at what she had just dug up, and sneered, and there was no emotion in her deep eyes.

"Miss?" Autumn Cicada called to her softly, "What are we going to do now?" ”

Qiu Chan has been staying by the original owner's side since she was a child, and she has also learned some words, especially when they were in Jinling, the Shen family invited a private school, and she and Dongmei also studied the Four Books and Five Classics for several years as maids.

In the years of serving Huo Jiuge, because the original owner likes to read medical books, she also knows a little bit of pharmacology, and she can recognize this thing as poisonous aconitum at a glance.

In the early stage of poisoning, there are sensory nerve excitatory manifestations such as numbness of the tongue and lips, extremities and even the whole body, and the numbness begins to spread from the tongue and lips and the distal limbs to the whole body, and later it will lead to hallucinations and uncontrolled behavior of the poisoned person, and if it is serious, it may kill the other party.

It seems that the Qin family really hates their own young lady, not only to turn her into a madman, but even to take her life.

Originally, everyone would have thought that she would poison the spices, but the other party just entered the courtyard in the name of lighting incense, if it weren't for Miss's ice and snow cleverness, it is estimated that she would have been blinded a long time ago, and put her mind on checking the spices, and ignored this.

"Since she wants me crazy, then I'll follow her will." Huo Jiuge was worried that he didn't know how to implement his plan, who knew that the other party would take the initiative to send it to the door.

She asked Qiu Cicada to carefully dispose of this thing so that no one would find out, and then let the two maids sent by the Qin family keep vigil for the past few nights.

Qiu Chan nodded to indicate that he understood, and after retreating, he acted according to Huo Jiuge's instructions.

She first found Mingyue and Haitang, the two maids, and said that their diligence these days, her own young lady saw it, so she specially promoted them to serve them closely.

When she heard the news, Haitang was still very happy, thinking that her efforts had really paid off, but Mingyue, who came with her, didn't react at all, just said lightly, I know.

She was originally just an ordinary maid, but she wanted to climb to a high place, and knew that she had the most servants and the best treatment, so she worked hard to go through many assessments, and finally got mixed up with the second-class maid, and also had the opportunity to serve by the Qin family, but she was sent to the Hexiang Courtyard before she could cover the heat for this job.

Who doesn't know in this mansion, it's just that these five young ladies are not welcomed, and it is better to serve by her side than to sweep your own yard.

Qiu Chan saw that her words had been brought, so she didn't care about these two people anymore, she had more important things to do, and after explaining some precautions for serving Huo Jiuge, she left.

"A sick seedling still has so many requirements......" Mingyue muttered after waiting for the autumn cicada to leave.

"What did you say?" Haitang on the side was simple-minded, she didn't listen to what Ming Qingyue said, so she asked her to say it again.

"Nothing!" Mingyue said angrily: "Hurry up and rest, I have to keep watch for her tonight." ”

Vigil is hard work, if you meet a master with few things, it is estimated that you can still get a good night's sleep; If she encounters that kind of thing, it is estimated that she will not be able to close her eyes all night, so she can only catch up on sleep during the day when she is fine.

Haitang heard her say this, and did not continue to ask.

In the evening, the two of them made a simple bunk outside Huo Jiuge's room, and it was fine in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, they vaguely heard someone talking.

"Did you hear anything?" Haitang gently touched Mingyue's arm with her hand and asked cautiously.

"What else could it be, it must be the one inside who was talking in a dream!" Mingyue didn't take this sound to heart and continued to fall asleep on her own.

Huo Jiuge had nightmares for several days, in which she dreamed that her mother took her to the temple to pray for blessings, and then met robbers, and there was a sound of fighting in the bamboo forest, and the other party's goal was very clear.

In a short time, blood stains covered the entire hillside, and Huo Jiuge hid under the carriage, watching his mother die at the hands of the robbers for protecting himself.

After the sound outside had stopped, she was about to climb out to take a look, but at this moment, she suddenly reached out a hand and pulled her by the collar......

Huo Jiuge woke up from her dream suddenly, covered in cold sweat, almost her entire back was soaked, she gasped for breath, until Haitang came over and lifted her bed curtain, and asked in a low voice with a concerned face: "Miss, are you okay?" ”

Huo Jiuge looked at the real person in front of her, and it took her a long time to realize that it was just a dream, and she was not discovered

"Miss, is this another nightmare?" Haitang looked at the hair on Huo Jiuge's forehead that was wet with cold sweat, and her face couldn't help but show worry, she reached out and probed Huo Jiuge's forehead, but fortunately it wasn't hot.

Seeing that she was the only one here, Huo Jiuge asked, "Is it just your vigil today?" ”

"Sister Mingyue is not feeling well today, so she is alone." Haitang returned respectfully, and after she finished speaking, she got up and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Huo Jiuge's hand and said, "Miss, let's take it slow first." ”

After taking the things she handed over, Huo Jiuge said to her, "I'm fine here, you go and rest." ”

Haitang is a smart girl, even if Huo Jiuge has already spoken, she still brought a basin of hot water from outside, and said softly: "I'll wipe the young lady first, otherwise sleeping with this cold sweat will be easy to suffer from wind cold." ”

Huo Jiuge didn't refuse, she nodded, and let Begonia scrub and change her clothes.

When it was time to eat the next day, she rewarded a hairpin from Begonia in front of all the maids, and Begonia was flattered and couldn't speak for a long time with excitement.

"Take it." Huo Jiuge stuffed the hairpin into Haitang's hand and said, "This is what you deserve, if it wasn't for yours last night, I don't know what I would have been scared of." ”

Haitang hurriedly waved his hand and said that these were all things he should do, and he didn't need to receive any reward.

Qiu Chan also stood up at this time and said: "You just accept it, my young lady is the most generous, as long as you serve with your heart, the good days are still to come." ”

To put it mildly, Begonia accepted the things.

And this scene fell in the eyes of others, but it was particularly dazzling.
