Chapter 4 The Turmoil in the Forest Mansion
"Ahem"
"Dare to ask my father, what crime did my daughter commit?" Lin Weiran, who was pressed back to the Lin Mansion by the little girl, knelt on the ground, looking at the middle-aged man who was coughing incessantly, although he was a little overwhelmed by the pain, but that face still showed the demeanor of the year.
"Your mother and daughter have the same heart, Yun Niang's poison to you has been tortured for more than ten years, and now you don't learn anything from this little hoof, but you have learned your mother's set, and you actually poisoned your father's antidote pill. The master's mother slapped the table with anger, and the steps on her head shook with it, "Zhu Huo, tell me everything you saw that night." ”
"What? The poison on my father's body was inflicted on my mother?" If this is the case, then the status of their mother and daughter is not as good as that of the maid, and how Lin Dixiu bullied the head of the family without making a noise, it makes sense. There seems to be something wrong with this, Lin Weiran thought about it, and clarified himself before the maid arrived, "Are you stupid for me?" Who in the Lin Mansion doesn't know that my status is not as good as that of a maid, and I am left to fend for myself in that shabby house with my mother, and if I have money, I don't buy candy to eat but buy poison to harm my father, am I full of food or do I think my status is not low enough and my life is too long?"
"It's good that you Lin Weixian, you are still so hard-mouthed when you are dying," Lin Dixiu turned his back to the two of them and glanced at the maids on the side, "Father, let's take the evidence as the standard." ”
"Ahem...... Zhu Huo, you tell the truth. The head of the family finally spoke, and then coughed again.
"Yes. The maid named Zhuhuo suddenly knelt on the ground and cried suddenly, "Master Qiqi, when I passed by the study that night, I saw the second lady sneaking out, when the slave saw that she was holding some paper and pens in her hand, she thought that the second lady liked calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she must have no money to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, so she had to take some, and I heard that the second lady couldn't even afford the medicine for bruises, so the slave and maid moved with compassion, so she didn't tell the matter, and hoped that the lord and the lady would be punished. ”
"Mrs. Qiyu, master," I don't know when, Lin Diexiu had already brought a person, he knelt down with a white porcelain plate in both hands, "The antidote pill in the medicine bottle is contaminated with the juice of indigo, and the medicinal properties are conflicting, and it becomes an acute poison that makes people bleed from the seven orifices, which is also the cause of death of Miss Zhuqing." ”
"I woke up with amnesia because I was stabbed in the chest a short time ago, oops...... I don't have a good brain to think about it carefully, "This time she understands it, these two mothers and daughters are planning to borrow their father's knife to kill her, could it be that they were the ones who killed the original owner that day?" Lin Weiran frowned and covered his head with pain on his face, and suddenly a spirit suddenly looked at Lin Dixiu, seeing that she suddenly trembled in panic, and her heart had already made up her mind, "No, I'm just amnesiac and not stupid, sister, Mother, do you think it could be some mad murderer who tried to kill me and cut me down with the help of my relatives' hands, ah?"
"You are not even as good as a maid in our Lin Mansion, who would think of asking for your cheap life?" Lin Dixiu panicked in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward and pointed to Lin Weiran on the ground, and calmed down in an instant, pretending to be calm, "Even if you quibble, you can't escape the charge, if you don't admit your guilt today, I will definitely peel your skin." ”
"If you are in such a hurry to convict me, it is you who stabbed me to death with a sword that day. Lin Weiran got up angrily, his goose egg face was no longer as sweet as before, and his eyes were full of eyes like a small beast locking on its prey, which frightened Lin Dixiu to take a step back. "Why are you in such a hurry? You and I are both my father's flesh and blood, and when I returned home with a serious injury, not only did you not come to greet me, but you even sent someone to follow me. ”
"I didn't, don't spew blood. Lin Dixiu had never seen Lin Weiran like this, and she seemed to see the strange smile on the corner of the pink-clothed woman's mouth again.
"Then I turned into this ghost and walked from the Lin Mansion to Yipinxuan, why didn't you say a word and those little guys went directly to tie me up?
"Come on, go to Yipinxuan to inquire about this matter. The housemother glanced at her daughter, and suddenly became wary of this second lady who didn't dare to resist, she didn't know that in the past eighteen years, this person had pretended to be a pig and eaten a tiger in her nose, "Also, Lin Weiran is not suspected of poisoning, and he went to check it out naturally." ”
Aunt Guan on the side saw the eyes of her master, so she sent someone out, and after a while, she handed an indigo grass to Dr. Lin, and Xixi was also pressed by the little maid and fell to the ground.
"Miss?" "Miss?" Xixi saw the little girl come in and rummage through things, and she was so frightened that she was trembling, and now she was still shaking.
Lin Weiran gently patted her shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, it's okay." ”
Dr. Lin took a closer look and said, "This is indigoweed." ”
As soon as Dr. Lin's words came out, Lin Weiran knew that she had been trapped, how could she be so desperate to extract blue from this grass to paint, it was really irrefutable "incriminating evidence", looking at Lin Dixiu's smug face, she guessed who did it even if she was stupid.
"The evidence is all there, Lin Weiran, what else do you have to say. The housewife made a decision immediately, and only convicted Lin Weiran after finding evidence.
"I asked Xixi to help me paint with this indigo grass to refine the blue pigment, everyone in the Lin Mansion who is a little curious knows about it," Lin Weiran picked up the indigo grass and looked at the corners of their mouths full of disdain, "So, here's the problem, my mother, sister, I, a waste second lady who doesn't understand pharmacology and has no chance to come into contact with herbal medicine, where did I learn about the formula of my father's antidote pill? I have the money to buy Dr. Lin to get the prescription, and I just happened to learn that the medicinal materials in it are compatible with this indigo grass?" Or do I have the money to buy the maid to learn that the antidote pill happened to appear in the study? Also, this poison is so powerful, even if I have the money to solve the two thorny problems in front of me, then may I ask, did I forget that my father had a maid by his side, or did I want to murder the person, but the first Zhuqing girl who came into contact with the pill? ”
Such a crude method of blame is not even at the bronze level, and she still wants to borrow a knife to kill people, can she really be a waste second lady?
Hearing this, Dr. Lin was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to explain: "Master Qiqi, since the old man was poisoned, I have only diagnosed the second miss once, and the second miss was in a coma the whole time, and she never said a word, and Aunt Zeng was also present at that time to testify for the villain." ”
At this moment, the people who went to Yipinxuan also came to report, "Master Qiqi." Madam, it is true that the second lady said in general, but the second lady went to Yipinxuan to sell paintings. ”
"Wait," it's over, with their current thoughts, they will definitely feel that they are painting "Little Yellow Painting", it is really reasonable and cannot be explained. Lin Weiran saluted obediently, and then, stared at Lin Diexiu and said categorically: "Father, mastermother, the poisoning matter has not been investigated clearly, and you are in a hurry to take care of my private affairs, don't you want to shield the murderer?"
"The main mother, I found it on Zhuqing's bed. At this time, Aunt Guan presented a letter.
After reading it, the mistress handed it to her husband on the side, and then looked at the people below and said: "Zhu Huo, in order to raise money for your sick mother, your sister sold the porcelain in the old man's room without permission. ”
"Ahem...... Now that things have come to light, it's time for me to go back and rest. "The head of the Lin family is like a nobody, and he gently uncovered the matter of his almost poisonous hair.
"Wait, there's a private matter here. The master's hand gently patted the back of the coughing husband's hand next door, and stared at the scroll in the hand of the little maid with a sideways head, "Open it, let's all see what kind of medicine is sold in the second lady's gourd." ”
As soon as the hanging scroll opened, Lin Weiran frowned unconsciously. The man in the lake was holding his hands to tie his hair, as if he heard someone call him to turn over slightly, with an angular chin, cold eyes and slightly open lips, the most eye-catching thing was naturally the naked upper body, which was painted by Lin Weiran with solid realistic skills.
"Hey!" Lin Weiran raised her forehead and sighed, and everyone's reaction really did not disappoint her.
"How...... Could it be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Lin Dixiu covered his face shyly, and still lowered his head after turning around.
What the mistress saw was not the surface of this "beautiful man", but the identity of the man in the painting, and she seemed to have some idea in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise a smile, which was fleeting.
"Ahem, don't take the painting back yet. As the pillar of the Lin Mansion, he obviously has no strength for the less, he is not unaware of what the master mother did, and the reason why he concealed it was just to protect the mother and daughter who were suffering from their lives. ”
"Father, I didn't know he was ......" She hurriedly stepped forward to defend herself, but was still persuaded by her father's sharp reprimand.
"Come, prepare a carriage for them, and go now, as fast as possible. He had already used all the strength he could, and the whole person fell on the chair, coughing and clutching the handle of the chair tightly, "From now on, your life and death have nothing to do with the Lin family." ”
Although he was not a real father, Lin Weiran's heart couldn't help but "clang", as if something was broken, and it was very uncomfortable.
Soon, the three of them were driven out of the Lin Mansion like rats crossing the street, and the coachman was a man of few words, so he drove straight away without asking them a word along the way.
"Coachman, you didn't even ask us where we were going, is this appropriate?" Lin Weiran, who was immersed in the sad emotions of the broken young lady who swept the floor and went out of the Lin Mansion, finally sensed that something was wrong, lifted the curtain of the carriage and hid a dagger behind him.
"Second Miss, please rest assured, the master has already planned everything for Miss, and will send Mrs. to the ancestral temple of the Lin family first. The coachman took a wooden sign from his bosom and handed it over.
Could it be that my father had long suspected that Lin Diexiu was embroidered? Yes, after my father was poisoned, my mother took the position of the head of the Lin family, and it would be difficult to bring them down if there was not enough evidence?
"What? My father drove me out to force me to cultivate immortals?" Lin Weiran looked at the wooden plaque engraved with a mountain higher than the human world, the clouds and mist at the foot of the mountain were surrounded by clouds, and the four big characters of water connected to Tianshan flashed, and his heart was sad and joyful.
