Concubine Biography

Chapter 18

Xiao Qinzi murmured inwardly, and before he could stop, he saw the crowd screaming and backed away, and the servant who knocked down the box even crawled into the crowd in horror.

Xiao Qinzi found the right time, quickly grabbed the scorpion's tail and lifted the scorpion up. Xiao Fangzi looked at him and restrained the servant.

This move outside the door alarmed Li Jiarong and others at the door.

Before Li Jiarong could ask, Xiao Qinzi had already taken a small box and put the scorpion in it, then walked quickly to Li Jiarong and said, "Master, just now... from Mrs. Chen's box Out came a scorpion."

His voice was faintly angry. He helped to pack the box that had the accident, and he had checked it before. Now a scorpion suddenly ran out. If it stung someone...

Xiao Qinzi's cold sweat drenched the back of his clothes.

"Is someone injured?" How could a scorpion get into her box, Fu'er looked at Xiao Qinzi hurriedly.

Xiao Qinzi shook his head, still looking at Li Jiarong.

Li Jiarong looked back, Xiao Fangzi nodded slightly while grabbing the famous Jia Ding.

Before Li Jiarong could say anything, Mrs. Su had already yelled, "Mrs. Chen! Why did a scorpion escape from your box? What are your intentions?"

"Ah?" Fu'er didn't expect Su's sudden attack, she was stunned for a while and then quickly looked at Li Jiarong.

Li Jiarong's face was sullen, but he didn't speak.

At the same time, Mrs. Su was also looking at Li Jiarong's expression. Seeing that Li Jiarong didn't respond, she continued to scold Fu'er, "Mr. Chen, don't kneel down yet! What's going on here?"

Fu'er suddenly felt sore in her heart, she no longer looked at Li Jiarong, and knelt down straight.

"Ma'am..." Chunmei looked at Fu'er in disbelief, the matter of Xie Zi had nothing to do with them, why did she kneel?
Chunlan bit her lip, and although she was aggrieved, she still knelt down. Chunmei, her back stiffened, her fists at her sides were tightly clenched, and she also knelt down.

"As for the princess, I don't know why a scorpion escaped from the box." While speaking, Fu'er was also thinking quickly in her mind, what is the purpose of releasing the scorpion?
If you don't want her to go to Nanxia County with Li Jiarong, you can use medicine or other means. It is obviously not suitable to put scorpions in boxes.If the box hadn't been broken, the scorpion wouldn't have come out, so she would definitely go to Nanxia County with Li Jiarong.

Fu'er looked at the servant that Xiao Fangzi restrained, did he bump into the box on purpose?
Xiao Fangzi had already pulled the servant to a secluded place and began to question, but he didn't know what he said, the servant turned pale from fright and shook his head in fear.Xiao Fangzi asked a few more questions before he was taken down by the servant, walked up to Li Jiarong and said, "Master Hui, I didn't do it on purpose."

That is to say, the box was smashed accidentally?

Fu'er turned her head slightly, it was a box for sundries, she had prepared two boxes in total, one for clothes and the other for daily sundries.Because women's clothes are inconvenient to pass through men's hands, Xiao Qinzi just helped pack the box at that time.

daily sundries...

The usual change of clothes has been packed into a small bag, only this sundry box is small and easy to carry, and it must be unpacked for daily use.

If it is used daily, tonight...tomorrow at the latest, she will order someone to open the box.

Once the box is opened, or the person who opened the box is bitten by a scorpion, or the scorpion comes out and bites someone else...

Fu'er quickly looked at Li Jiarong, and Li Jiarong obviously thought of this, looking at Fu'er, the two of them looked at each other, with a tacit feeling.

Yuan Shi suddenly coughed twice, and there were two sudden coughing sounds, everyone's eyes were drawn to her.

Yuan's face was flushed and she explained, "I seem to have caught a cold last night..." Under the eyes of everyone, Yuan's voice became smaller and smaller, and at last she could only see her lips moving, and everyone could not hear what she was saying. up.

Mrs. Su took a step forward, softened her voice and said to Li Jiarong, "Master, such a poison has been found in Mrs. Chen's belongings. You have to investigate carefully. The journey is hard, sir. Don't miss the auspicious time. Lord please go ahead, tomorrow..."

Mrs. Su glanced at the women behind her, stared at Mrs. Yuan, who had been exposed to the cold for a long time, and who was suffering from the cold at this moment, and finally cast her gaze on Mrs. Yan reluctantly.

"Tomorrow, my concubine will arrange for Miss Yan to ride lightly, and within two days, I will definitely catch up with the Lord." Su Shi glanced at the ecstatic Yan Shi, and said to Jiarong with a chuckle.

"No need," Li Jiarong frowned handsomely and looked at Fu'er who was kneeling on the ground, regardless of Su Shi's expression changed slightly, "throw that box away, let's go."

Su Clan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed, "Who do you want to bring..."

Li Jiarong yelled at Fu'er impatiently, "Are you waiting for the master to invite you in person?"

Chunmei Chunlan couldn't believe her ears, she hurriedly agreed, helped Fu'er up, hurriedly bowed to the Su family and Yang family, and helped Fu'er step on the carriage.

"You all go back, take good care of your health, and report to the father when you give birth. Little Qinzi!" Li Jiarong looked at his family's three big bellies, and his expression has eased a lot.

Hearing Li Jiarong's call, Xiao Qinzi immediately responded and stepped forward to listen to the order.

Li Jiarong looked at him, but a woman glanced at the corner of his eyes, "Be good at your errands, and when the three children landed, you must report to the father as soon as possible. The father only wants to hear the good news, not You heard something you shouldn't have heard!"

Xiao Qinzi said solemnly, "Please rest assured, Xiao Qinzi will definitely do it."

Li Jiarong nodded, said no more, stepped on the horseback, nodded at Mrs. Su and the others, and the whole team set off.

After the carriage had been driving for a while, Chunmei patted her chest and said in fear, "I frightened the slaves to death. I almost thought I couldn't leave. If I stay in the mansion, I don't know what will happen."

Chunlan also had a look of rejoicing, "Yeah, fortunately, the master didn't care about it, and still allowed us."

"However, who put the scorpion in?" Chunlan was furious when she thought of this, and she lost a good thing in vain. There was also a set of Fuer's favorite pastel porcelain in the box, so it was thrown away. Not to mention, Fu'er was almost unable to go to Nanxia County.

Chunmei thought about it carefully, "Xiao Qinzi came to see it last night. We also checked last night and found no scorpions. Besides, those two boxes were placed on the floor of the warm pavilion. I was on duty last night. You can be sure that no one has entered the house, how did the scorpion get in?"

Chunlan also recalled the scene at that time, "Yes, after Xiao Qinzi checked the box, we put it in the warm pavilion, and then turned on the lamp. I was the one who waited on my wife to wash up, and my sister was packing her bags. She never left. After that, no one went in to hold the lamp, this..."

The two of them didn't have a clue for a long time, so they had to turn their eyes to Fu'er.

Chunlan saw Fu'er's wandering look, obviously not listening to what they said, so she couldn't help sighing, "Madam is such a good temper, who is harming Madam?"

Fu'er didn't hear what they were talking about at the moment, any scorpions or boxes had nothing to do with her.What she was thinking about now was Li Jiarong. When Su Clan attacked her, did Li Jiarong not speak because he was suspicious of her?Since he was suspicious, why did he take her away? Wouldn't it be fine to leave her to the Su family?

Fu'er became annoyed again, this Li Jiarong is really not a good person!
Good for a while, bad for a while, what is she!

Chunmei and Chunlan saw Fu'er's face was blue and white, they gritted their teeth for a while, seemed puzzled for a while, blushed for a while, and became angry for a while...

They didn't know what Fu'er was thinking, and they didn't dare to disturb them. The two whispered quietly for a long time, but they couldn't figure out how the scorpion got into the box, and they simply didn't think about it.

After the carriage left the city, the speed increased obviously, and the carriage also became a little bumpy. Fu'er had never gone out in a carriage before, so she was very uncomfortable, her stomach was churning and uncomfortable, and she became pale.

Chunmei seemed to be suffering in the same way. She leaned her head against the wall of the carriage, and after a while she made a "vomit", as if she was about to vomit.

Fu'er was still holding back at first, but when she heard the voice, she couldn't bear it anymore, she reluctantly moved to the front of the window, opened the curtain, and a gust of cold wind rushed towards her face, Fu'er suddenly felt that her spiritual platform was clear, and the uncomfortable feeling disappeared Quite a lot.

At first Chunlan saw that something was wrong with the two of them, but she had never been out of the house before, and it was the first time she saw such a disease, so she was anxious and at a loss, asking about this and looking at that.Seeing that Fuer opened the curtain, he wanted to remind Fuer that it was unreasonable, but after seeing Fuer's face softened a little, he couldn't bear to say it, so he found a veil and barely covered Fuer's face.

Sure enough, after a while, Li Jiarong rode over and saw Fu'er lying sickly on the window, and the strange behavior of the maid trying to cover her face with a veil, so she couldn't say what she had originally scolded.

"You...the first time to go out?" Li Jiarong frowned as soon as the words came out. What kind of question was this? It must be the first time for her to go out.

"I mean, are you feeling bad?" Li Jiarong once again felt that he was asking in vain.

Sure enough, Fu'er nodded weakly.

Li Jiarong looked ahead, and it took about an hour to get to the next town. Women are really troublesome!
Feeling irritable in my heart, I lost my tone, "Be patient for now, and rest well when we get to town."

Fu'er rolled her eyes, isn't she just enduring it now?This ride in the carriage was really uncomfortable. Not only did she feel her stomach churning, her back began to break out in cold sweat, but she also had a faint feeling of wanting to relieve herself...

When will the next town arrive?

Li Jiarong didn't talk to her anymore but ordered the team to speed up, so that the carriage almost galloped.Li Jiarong had good intentions and thought that it would be good to get to the town as soon as possible, but it just made Fu'er's current situation worse.

Within a quarter of an hour, Chunlan opened the curtain of the carriage, begging Li Jiarong to stop.

Li Jiarong had no choice but to drink and stop the team. When he got into the carriage, he felt a little depressed. Fuer's face was pale, his forehead and body were covered with cold sweat, his whole body was cold, and his lips were black and blue.

Looking at it again, even a girl is like this.

Li Jiarong came out with a frown, recruited Xiao Fangzi to mutter for a long time, Xiao Fangzi went back and forth, not knowing what to give Li Jiarong, Li Jiarong got into the carriage again when he turned around, and grabbed a spring Mei pulled it out and threw it to Xiao Fangzi, woke Fu'er up again, fed her a pill, poured it down with water, waited for about half a cup of tea, and Fuer's condition improved a bit.

Once Fu'er regained her sanity, she immediately told Li Jiarong that she needed convenience.Li Jiarong didn't stop him either, and recruited someone to surround a tent with cloth sails, and Chunlan helped Fu'er to go in for convenience.

Fu'er couldn't care about anything else. She had a dull pain in her lower abdomen when the carriage started to run fast, and now it was even more imminent. After finishing it in a hurry, she stood outside the carriage and drank some water, and felt the wind blowing for a while. I have slowed down.

Li Jiarong has always been very patient, and only came to ask when she saw that she was almost there, "Is it better now?"

Fu'er is much better now, so she couldn't help but feel a little shy, "Thank you, my concubine is much better."

Li Jiarong raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to rest more?"

Fu'er shook her head, then asked Chunmei, "Where did she go?"

Li Jiarong pointed to the back of the team, "Leave it to the servants to take care of. If you feel better, let's leave. This time the journey is very tight, and we must reach Nanxia County as soon as possible."

Fu'er took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, "Okay." As she said that, she was about to step into the carriage.

Li Jiarong was amused by her look of resigning herself to death, she laughed, and quickly slapped Fu'er on the back of the neck with her palm, and Fu'er fell softly into his arms.

Chunlan was stunned by this scene, and unconsciously stretched out her hand to snatch Fu'er, "Master..."

Li Jiarong hugged Fu'er, avoiding Chunlan's overstretched arms, carried Fu'er into the carriage, and said to Chunlan, "Take good care of her, and she won't be uncomfortable if she falls asleep."

Chunlan stared dumbfounded at Li Jiarong getting out of the carriage, and then came to her senses, hurriedly pulled out the soft pillows and quilts in the carriage to let Fu'er sleep comfortably, and just as she sat down, she heard shouts from outside , The team set off again.
