After rebirth, mother is hard to do

Chapter 296 Poisoning
The Qin family is no longer what it used to be because of Mrs. Qin's relationship. It is no longer an ordinary merchant's house.Hearing that the princess regent is coming, not only the businessmen in the business world, but even the ministers in the court also sent their female relatives to make sure they knew each other.The reason why they didn't come in person was that they didn't understand what Shangguan Huan meant, and the second was that they looked down on businessmen from the bottom of their hearts. Being able to send a female family member to celebrate the birthday has given the Qin family enough face.

Although only a part of the official family's family members came to the scene, they still made up a hundred tables.The Qin family's backyard is full of luxurious tables, densely packed with guests.

The juniors of the Qin family warmly welcomed the guests.For those relatives and friends, they entertained thoughtfully.When facing those official family members, they didn't have any intention of flattering them.In this aspect, it can be seen that the Qin family is different.No wonder this family can become number one in the business world.They do have their own advantages in dealing with people.

As the princess regent, Meng Yuxuan could be regarded as the most honorable woman in the whole country without the queen mother and empress.Of course her sitting position is the best.

"Princess, please have dinner." Mrs. Qin next to her said politely.

"Old Madam, please." Meng Yuxuan finished speaking to Madam Qin, then looked at the other guests, and said, "Everyone is free, if I make everyone uncomfortable because of me, then I am a little embarrassed. Originally, I really wanted to congratulate Madam Qin on her birthday. , it’s causing trouble for the old lady.”

"What did the concubine say? I am really grateful that you can come." Old Mrs. Qin said beside her.

"Let's eat!" Meng Yuxuan said nothing more.If we keep chatting, the food will be cold.

In fact, she had no appetite, but in order not to lose her manners, she picked up the lightest dishes and stuffed them into her mouth.As soon as the stir-fried vegetables were in my mouth, I immediately spit them out.

The people at the same table have been paying attention to Meng Yuxuan's actions.Especially Mrs. Qin, she was afraid that the food would not suit her taste.After all, she is the most important guest of the Qin family.When she made such a move, Mrs. Qin's expression changed, and she said nervously: "But it's not to the princess' liking? What does the princess want to eat, I'll tell the cook to make it again."

"This food is really... not to my liking." Meng Yuxuan frowned, and said to Mrs. Qin: "Everyone knows that I am the owner of the restaurant. I usually have no other hobbies, but I like to eat and drink. This dish... and this The wine really can’t meet my requirements. Let’s do it this way! All the meals will be withdrawn. Please wait for a while, the princess will order the people below to call the chefs of the restaurant. Today, I will do a real dinner for Mrs. Qin for free. birthday banquet."

"The concubine is really kind to our Qin family. The Qin family is willing to work hard for the concubine in order to thank her for her kindness." Mrs. Qin has lived most of her life, and she can see a clue from Meng Yuxuan's expression.With Meng Yuxuan's temperament, even if the Qin family's food was really not to my liking, she would not do such a rude thing.

Today's events spread, and the world will say that the Princess Regent is putting on a pretense and is not easy to serve.Who doesn't know that she was born as a servant girl, and she used to eat the food of the maid.Even if the Qin family is just a merchant's family, it is also a wealthy family.The meals they usually eat are richer than those of ordinary officials, not to mention that today's meals are specially arranged.It would be rude of her to spit it out after taking a bite.

Those who hated Meng Yuxuan slandered endlessly in their hearts.They dare not express their dissatisfaction openly, but they look down on Meng Yuxuan in their hearts.Especially those noble ladies who couldn't please, they laughed at Meng Yuxuan in their hearts.In fact, based on their experience of eating all kinds of big banquets and noodles, the meals of the Qin family can be compared to royal banquets.

Meng Yuxuan told Hui Ling to call the people from the restaurant.Not long after, the restaurant was closed, and all the chefs entered the Qin residence, and then used their unique recipe to cook a complete set of birthday banquets for Mrs. Qin.

The first course is a hill shape made with various vegetables and various meats.There is a river under the hill, and there are all kinds of dipping materials in the river, which are colorful and very beautiful.Although most of the people here have been to Meng Yuxuan's restaurant, they have never eaten the noodles run by the restaurant.For the first time, they knew that the original dish could still be made like this.When the first dish was presented amazingly, people were full of curiosity about the following dishes.All kinds of people who originally looked down on Meng Yuxuan felt less disgusted with her.

"It's simply delicious. No wonder the business of Wangfei's restaurant is booming. It turns out that it is so delicious. We missed a lot of good things before!" one person sighed.

"Eat as much as you like. Our restaurants generally don't hold banquets for outsiders. Today is just a special case for Mrs. Qin." Meng Yuxuan said lightly.

Next to Mrs. Qin, there is a maid named Bucai.After all, she is old and her eyesight is not good, so she needs someone to take care of her.

The host and guest enjoyed the meal.Originally, the Qin family was dissatisfied with Meng Yuxuan's play, but now seeing that everyone was satisfied with her preparations, their anger was relieved.

"Princess, I have something to say." After the meal, the head of the Qin family sent off all the guests, and Mrs. Qin left behind Meng Yuxuan.

Meng Yuxuan happened to have something to say, so she stayed.She followed Mrs. Qin to the backyard.

Those noble ladies who wanted to curry favor with Meng Yuxuan couldn't help being annoyed when they saw that Meng Yuxuan avoided them again.Everyone was dissatisfied and said a lot of bad things behind Meng Yuxuan's back.

In the wing room, Mrs. Qin was sitting on a chair, and Meng Yuxuan was sitting opposite her.After the maid brought the tea, she withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the room.

"Princess..." Mrs. Qin stood up and bowed to Meng Yuxuan.

Meng Yuxuan quickly helped her up and said, "What's the old madam's meaning?"

"Although the old man has not had much contact with the princess, he has heard about the character of the princess. The princess will never lose face to the Qin family just because the food is not to the taste. What happened just now? Is it... the food has something Question?" Mrs. Qin looked at Meng Yuxuan seriously.

Meng Yuxuan helped Mrs. Qin to sit down, and she also sat back in her original position.The tea in front of me is fragrant and smells like good tea.She picked it up, took a sip, and said lightly: "As expected of the old lady, she has seen all kinds of worlds. I didn't say anything, and you have already guessed it. Yes, there is poison in the food."

Mrs. Qin's complexion changed drastically, she looked at Meng Yuxuan in shock, and said, "How could such a thing happen? Who wants to put our Qin family to death? If the princess didn't notice the problem, our Qin family, and so many people who came here today Guest, isn't that dead? This is simply trying to break the roots of our Qin family!"

"This poison is really overbearing. If today's guests are really poisoned, even my medical skills can't cure them. Fortunately, all of you waited for me to eat before starting to eat, otherwise... as long as you take it One bite, and there will be someone from Lord Yan to report it." Meng Yuxuan said: "The old lady needs to find out who is going to attack the Qin family. This method is too cruel. It is actually chosen when the old lady is holding a birthday banquet. Put poison in the food."

"Although our Qin family is a merchant, it is also a family of love and righteousness. People in our family will not do things that hurt others. Princess, I really made you laugh today. We were flattered that you could come, but we didn't expect to be involved You have been misunderstood by others. After what happened just now, I am afraid that the outside world will have bad words about the princess again."

"I, Meng Yuxuan, have never cared about other people's opinions. I used to care too much, which is why I ended up in a tragic end. The old lady doesn't care." Meng Yuxuan said calmly. "If you need help with other things, you can send someone to send me a letter. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"Okay." Mrs. Qin shouted outside: "Come here, take Wangfei back to the mansion."

Regent House.Meng Yuxuan had just returned to her room, before she took off her clothes, Hui Ling rushed in.She looked at Meng Yuxuan with a look of hesitation.

Seeing her appearance, Meng Yuxuan felt something was wrong.As she changed her clothes, she asked, "What's the matter?"

Hui Ling looked at Meng Yuxuan cautiously and said, "The woman in red was brought back to the residence by the prince."

"Her?" Meng Yuxuan stopped in surprise. "Did your lord say anything?"

"My lord is setting her up." Hui Ling had an awkward expression. "Looking at the look of the prince, it seems that he takes good care of her. I have never seen the prince treat women other than the concubine so kindly."

"Shangguanhuan!" Meng Yuxuan changed her clothes and strode out.She stopped a maid and asked, "Where is the prince now?"

The maid said tremblingly, "East Wing."

Meng Yuxuan walked towards the east wing.Before reaching the east wing, I saw a man and a woman standing in the gazebo opposite.The man is tall and straight, and the woman is particularly conspicuous in a red dress.The woman's feet were soft, and she leaned against the man's arms.The man straightened her up and avoided her approach.However, from Meng Yuxuan's gaze, one could see that there was no trace of impatience in Shangguan Huan's eyes.In other words, although the woman was suspected of deliberately seducing, he did not explicitly refuse.

She told herself that the woman in red was one of the many shameless women who wanted to separate their husband and wife, so there was no need to argue with her.However, Shangguan Huan's attitude made her understand that Shangguan Huan treated the woman in red differently.

Could it be true what she said?Did Shangguan Huan really have an illegitimate child?What is the identity of that woman in red?
"Dark guard." Meng Yuxuan growled, "Don't play dead. Who is that woman?"

A person jumped out from the darkness, and that person knelt in front of Meng Yuxuan and said: "The prince was playing sticks at the border. He was poisoned once and was saved by that woman. Don't misunderstand me. The prince is just grateful for the woman's kindness." For saving my life, I have no other thoughts about that woman. The concubine should trust the prince's character."

"Of course I trust him. It's because I trust him too much that I didn't ask him directly." Meng Yuxuan sneered and said, "For the grace of saving my life, I promise it with my body. Your prince is very beautiful. I will not spoil his good deeds. gone."
