Hou's daughter, she is cold and sassy

Chapter 25
Yun Jinnian first took her to familiarize herself with the structure of the county magistrate's mansion, and then led her to the house that had just been tidied up.

The room was very spacious and bright, there were not many furnishings in the room but all of them were extremely luxurious, and the jade bead curtain was so hazy that it was like being in the misty rain.

Guqin, chessboard, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all in abundance, and even a cabinet of light blue dresses of different styles has just been delivered.

Yun Jinnian waved his sleeves angrily: "Qingqing, just tell me what you need. I'll order someone to buy it immediately. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me. There are many vacancies here. You can choose."

Yun Qingxiu lowered her eyes and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Second Brother."

Yun Jinnian stroked Yun Qingxiu's hair: "Why are you being polite to my brother, this time I've fallen in love with you at first sight, I'm not stupid anymore, Goth is relieved."

Yun Qingxiu stared at her beautiful eyes: "Who are you calling stupid?!"

"Anyone who followed Aunt Liu and Yun Qingwu to get angry before was a fool!" Yun Jinnian turned around and ran away after saying that, disappearing in an instant.

Yun Qingxiu shook her head and smiled angrily.

It was night, the candles were flickering, and the room was dim.The moonlight is bright and clear, and it enters the house gently.Yun Qingxiu lay on the couch with her arms as pillows and one leg slightly bent.

Since the second brother is fine, there should be no problem with the Huaiyong River water and coarse grains.But is there another possibility, that the second brother was given the antidote without knowing it, so that nothing happened? And the purpose of the other party is to prove that the second brother poisoned the people of a county?
But if it's just a problem with the water in the Huaiyong River, then everyone should have a collective outbreak of illness at the same time, how can the intensity be controlled so perfectly?
But turnip fruit is different, every family grows turnip fruit trees, and the fruiting time is only a few days or ten days apart, so it is most suitable to fake the symptoms of infection.

A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. "Miss, did you fall asleep?" Jinghong asked in a low voice.

Yun Qingxiu sat up and said, "Not yet, let's go in."

Jinghong pushed the door open and came in, holding a few dark green wild gooseberries in his hands.

Look at the color, are you sure you can eat it?This was Yun Qingxiu's first reaction.

But she still took the turnip fruit, gently peeled off the outer skin, and squeezed the juice into the cup.Jinghong looked at the dark green juice with disgust on his face: "Miss, this thing is absolutely poisonous..."

Yun Qingxiu didn't draw a conclusion, but just took out the silver needle and penetrated into the juice.After a while, she pulled out the silver needle.

I saw that the color of the silver needle was still bright, and there was no sign of blackening.Apparently, the raspberries are non-toxic.Yun Qingxiu frowned.

Jinghong's eyes widened: "How can there be no problem! No, miss, there are still servants here, let's try a few more..."

The result is still normal.Jinghong looked frustrated: "Miss, could it really be just an epidemic?"

Could it be that she was thinking too much?No, such an elaborate plot must have been deliberate. "Jinghong, you go out first, it's too late now, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Yes, miss." Jinghong went out a little disappointed.

The candles were extinguished, the curtains were drawn, and the room fell into silent darkness.

On the bed, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.The water of the Huaiyong River is non-toxic, and so is the mountain turnip fruit, but if the two are taken together...

She sat up abruptly.Drugs, mutual generation and mutual restraint, there is no absolute poison and no absolute good medicine in the world, the key is how to use it.

That person must have added a medicine that is compatible with Shanwu fruit to the Huaiyong River, and the combination of the two will become extremely poisonous.And the second brother escaped unharmed because he didn't eat the wild turnip fruit!
After all, even if the second brother unfortunately died of poisoning, there is no proof of his death.Yun Qingxiu was terrified after thinking about it for a while, if the second elder brother ate the mountain turnip fruit, then... the consequences would be disastrous!Not only did the Hou Mansion suffer heavy losses, but it also caused a lot of trouble!

Even after she figured it out, she still stayed up all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Yun Qingxiu said to Yun Jinnian: "Second Brother, I'll go to the Huaiyong River to check the situation. I suspect that there is something wrong with the water in the river."

Yun Jinnian suggested: "Qingqing, the Huaiyong River is still some distance away from here. You've only been here for half a day, so don't run away. I'll order someone to bring some water from the Huaiyong River."

Yun Qingxiu shook her head: "I have to go and see if the whole river has been polluted or if someone tampered with it during transportation, so it's better to go in person."

Yun Jinnian looked at his sister with some reluctance: "Then Qingqing, don't forget to come back and see me..."

Yun Qingxiu patted him on the shoulder: "It's just to investigate the matter, I will definitely come back to treat the people. This time the matter is settled, come back to the Hou Mansion with me? Daddy has been talking about you for a long time."

Yun Jinnian was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "Okay. Then Qingqing, be careful on the road."

"Jinghong, you stay and protect second brother." Yun Qingxiu ordered.

"No need." "No!" Yun Jinnian and Jinghong said together.Jing Hong anxiously said: "Miss, it's not safe for you to travel alone, this Licheng County is remote, the roads are not easy to walk, and Jing Ying hasn't come back yet, so take your slaves with you!"

Yun Qingxiu said with a smile: "You don't know me yet, how could I let something happen to me? But the second brother is different, who knows if there are any secret tricks in Licheng County, the second brother is more dangerous than me. I have made up my mind, You stay."

Jinghong knew that the matter decided by the young lady could not be changed, so he reluctantly agreed.

Licheng County is really remote, the roads are rugged, and it is difficult for a horse-drawn carriage to walk. There is a narrow cliff ahead, so Yun Qingxiu had to get out of the car and walk on foot.

The road is surrounded by mountains, with a width of only one foot, with steep cliffs and dead branches stretching like dry arms.Looking down, the clouds and mist are lingering, and the depth is bottomless.

She walked close to the cliff, stroking the ruined wall with her right hand, and walked forward quickly in small steps.

"Pa-ta!" Soon, a gravel fell at her feet, and she paused.There should be no falling rocks in this place.

A sense of panic spread from my heart. "Pa-ta-pa-ta!" Along with the gravel, larger stones began to fall, and the mountain could even be felt trembling slightly.

She looked up, but couldn't see anything, only the stones were falling one after another.Oops...she fell for it!It was clear that someone had ambushed here early on, waiting for her to come so as to put her to death.

Turning around and trying to escape, "Boom!" The boulder fell, blocking the roads on both sides of her.The last boulder is about to fall, and now she has only two options: be stoned to death, or jump off a cliff and fall to her death.

She gritted her teeth and plunged into the vast abyss...

The fierce wind whistled like a sharp blade across her cheeks, and the powerless weightlessness contained deep despair.Her hair was flying in the air, she raised her right arm, but she couldn't catch anything when she opened her jade hand.

Finally reborn, is it going to die again?No, Rong Jingxi is not dead yet, the ghost in the Hou Mansion has not been found yet, and the current serious trouble has not been resolved.

She doesn't want to die, she longs for a pair of hands to hold her, but unfortunately, in this cliff, there will be no...

After a long time, there was a chill on the back, and the huge impact seemed to shatter the internal organs, did it land?It seems that she is going to die again...
