Concubine's true colors

Chapter 268
Hearing that it was only a bracelet, but it had such a great effect, Xiao Jinyu was curious and wanted to open the jewelry box to take a closer look.

However, the wooden jewelry box was only opened a crack.However, Ji Lingfeng reached out and pressed the lid of the box, and then said in an exhorting voice:
"Miss Jinyu, you must not touch the bracelet inside here with your hands, otherwise it will easily hurt yourself, and as long as you do it, let Xiao Jinxuan wear it a little bit, it is enough to achieve the effect I want, next How to deal with your concubine sister, I will deal with it myself..."

It has long been heard that when some jewelry is cast, poison will be melted into it, which will slowly erode the wearer's body, and finally let the person die quietly.

Now in Xiao Jinyu's eyes, the bracelet in the small wooden box in front of him must be this kind of thing.

Although I don't know what kind of poison it is, it only takes a little while to wear it to kill people secretly, but considering that Ji Lingfeng is from the prince's mansion, and Zhou Xiantaigui is the son of Empress Xue, he can get the precious medicine. Reasonable things.

Ji Lingfeng's status is not high, so Xiao Jinyu naturally has no interest in sitting down with the other party, especially since she can't wait for this moment, and wants to take the bracelet to deal with Xiao Jinxuan.

Although Xiao Jinyu was also quite curious about Ji Lingfeng's plan, but she didn't say anything after asking several times, she immediately felt a little unhappy, got up and left with a cold face.

And he didn't know that his sister-in-law, Xiao Jinxuan, who was about to rush back to harm her, would be alone in her room, reclining on the soft couch, resting in a half-sleep.

Just now, after talking with Ji Lingfeng, she went to Prince Rui's Mansion in a carriage, and wanted to tell Zhou Xianrui that Zhou Xianyu was seriously injured by a poisoned arrow, and it was probably caused by people around her, and discuss with him how to deal with it .

But unfortunately, although it was time to go down to court, due to the severe drought in Gansu and the lack of harvest in autumn, Zhou Xianrui was left in the imperial study to discuss solutions with the ministers.

But I didn't see Zhou Xianrui, Xiao Jinxuan finally stayed with Shen Wenqing, drinking tea and watching a play with him, chatting for a while.

Until dusk and evening, several plays were sung, but Zhou Xianrui still didn't come back from the palace, and Xiao Jinxuan didn't stay any longer, so he went back to the commander's mansion by car.

Although Xiao Jinxuan had only returned to Beijing from Zhuluo Town for two days including today, she was really busy, as if she never had a moment to spare, so she originally wanted to rest on the soft couch, but in the end she was tired after lying down. Fell asleep.

After sleeping until it was already dark outside, Xiao Jinxuan might not have woken up so quickly if Bai Zhu hadn't come in to light the lamp. Rubbing her forehead, she woke up because of sleep, and said hoarsely:
"How long have I been sleeping this time? I wanted to visit my second aunt. It's been two days since I came back. Even if it's dark today, I'm going to go and have a look."

For Shen, Xiao Jinxuan is actually quite guilty. After all, she has been back for two days, but she didn't take the time to visit the other party, so what to say today, even if it is difficult to travel at night, she has to go and report to the other party. Only then.

But upon hearing this, Bai Shu immediately persuaded with a smile:

"Miss, you don't have to be so anxious. I'm going to check the second lady's pulse today, and she told me that you don't have to worry about her too much. The second lady is relieved when you know that you come back safe and sound, and the second lady has another cough in late autumn. Now, it’s not advisable to talk too much to meet guests, it will be better if you wait for a while to visit.”

If Mrs. Shen sees Xiao Jinxuan at this time, don't think that she will have to ask in detail. The other party's experience after falling off the cliff, and if she talks too much, the cough will inevitably become severe again.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who had already sat up from the soft couch and was going to visit Shen Shi immediately, could not help but listen to Bai Shu's suggestion.

It was decided that it would be better to ask the other party to recuperate first. Anyway, she has already returned, so she can visit her whenever she wants, and there is no rush for this moment.

As soon as she gave up the idea of ​​going to Changxin Hospital, Xiao Jinxuan immediately stood up and came to the dressing table.

Taking out the key close to her body, she opened the locked cabinet at the lower edge of the dressing table, and then took out two things from it.

And these two things are nothing else, they were what Meng Mian gave her yesterday, the copybook written by Xiao Wenyao himself, and the letter written by Meng Liangjun himself.

Last night Xiao Jinxuan just couldn't put it down and read the copybook over and over again. Later, because she guessed that the next day, she would have to get up early to stop Gu Qingping, so she rested earlier and did not open Meng Liangjun's letter.

Although Xiao Jinxuan was eager to know what happened to the Xiao Mansion in Yangzhou, but there are priorities. She read this letter sooner or later, and it would not have the slightest impact on the situation in Yangzhou. .

That's why she delayed for a day, and now that she was free, she took the letter in her hand.

After signaling Bai Shu to go out, Xiao Jinxuan was left alone in the room. At this moment, she took out a dozen or so sheets of letter paper, leaned over the desk by candlelight, and began to read carefully.

Between the lines in the first few pages of the letter, Meng Liangjun was talking about his recent situation and the interesting things that happened in Yangzhou after she left.

Looking at the brisk words, Meng Liangjun's lively and pretty appearance seemed to appear on the paper. Thinking of this former friend, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but smile.

But starting from the second half of the sixth page of the letter, Meng Liangjun stopped talking about his own affairs, but mentioned Xiaofu.

Xiao Jinxuan's face became more and more gloomy as she read the content further.

In the end, there was a stern look in her eyes, and in the deepest part of those eyes, there was still a hint of sadness hidden.

And when Xiao Jinxuan finished reading the whole letter, she couldn't help sighing a long time. She didn't know until now that after she left, Yangzhou Xiao Mansion had undergone such a big change.

I saw that Meng Liangjun mentioned in his letter that one month after Xiao Jinxuan left, Xiao Heng also returned to the barracks to fight together because of the Beirong invasion.

And after Xiao Heng, the head of the family, left, the entire Xiao Mansion was controlled by the Yang family.

It was fine for a month at first, but as the Yang family was in charge for longer, changes in Xiao's residence began to happen slowly.

First of all, Xiao Jinying, when Xiao Jinxuan was leaving, she had already obtained Xiao Heng's promise for Aunt Shen, allowing the other party to arrange a marriage for her daughter in person.

But now her third sister is already married, and the one she married is only a medicine vendor. Although Xiao Jinying is a concubine like her, this marriage is too low-marriage.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't need to think about it, she knew that Aunt Shen would never give such a marriage to her daughter after thousands of choices.

Then the person who made the decision, except for her biological mother Yang, no one in the current Xiao Mansion has this right anymore.

And Xiao Jinying's low marriage is not counted, even Aunt Shen and the eldest lady Ning who was paralyzed in bed also died of illness one after another in the past few months.

In the previous life and present life, I have seen Xiao Jinxuan fighting in the backyard too much. Without even thinking about it, I know that there is definitely something strange about the deaths of these two people, and the person who benefits the most from their death is undoubtedly Yang Shi.

Those who could be regarded as masters in Xiao's mansion were all eliminated, and immediately after that, even the chief housekeeper Deng Jiu and those old servants of the Xiao family were killed and punished.

Deng Jiu, who had been dedicated to the Xiao family all his life, was charged with theft in the end, and was sent directly to the government. He died in the yamen court after a meal.

For Deng Jiu, Xiao Jinxuan actually still has some affection in her heart, and she feels very sorry for Deng Jiu in her heart.

And she calculated the time, and the time when she started not receiving a reply to the letter she sent to Yangzhou coincided with the time when the big butler was kicked out of the mansion.

And from this point, Xiao Jinxuan can tell that the current Xiao Mansion in Yangzhou is probably under the full control of the Yang family.

All those who are not loyal to her and will hinder the other party, it is estimated that this will have been eliminated.

After Meng Liangjun finished writing these things, he also mentioned that the Yang family had adopted a righteous daughter named Sun Xiru.

According to the letter, Mrs. Yang went to the temple to pray for blessings one day, but was bitten by a poisonous snake that sprang out of the nearby grass on the stone steps.

It was this girl from the Sun family who suddenly appeared and sucked the poisonous blood for Yang Shi, which saved her life just in time.

Yang's heart was grateful, and she became very attached to this Sun Xiru, when she learned that the other party's family had no close relatives, but lived in his uncle's house.

Immediately, Yang recognized her as a foster daughter and brought her back to Xiao's residence.

Regarding this adopted daughter, Yang often said that she was her Xie Yuhua, who not only saved her life, but also always made her happy, so she was said to be her adopted daughter, but she loved her as if she were her own daughter.

And Meng Liangjun also mentioned one thing in the letter, saying that once Xiao Wenyao saw this young lady, she ran to the Wanxiang Pavilion where Xiao Jinxuan used to live, and wanted to change it into an embroidery building.

Immediately, Xiao Wenyao, who is deeply in love with his sister and brother, quit. Since Xiao Jinxuan left, whenever he misses his sister, he will come to Wanxiang Pavilion to have a look.

Therefore, Xiao Wenyao, who was so angry that he couldn't explain the reason to Sun Xiru, immediately drove the other party out of Wanxiang Pavilion.

As a result, Mrs. Yang found out about it afterwards, and she, who had always regarded Xiao Wenyao as her darling, punished her own son to kneel in the Buddha's room for three hours, and then asked him to apologize to Sun Xiru in person.

As for the Wanxiang Building, the Yang family ignored the protests of their parents and children, and followed Sun Xiru's request, and directly changed it to the Xiulou.

Because of this incident, Xiao Wenyao was angry and furious, coupled with the fact that he could not stand the punishment to kneel at such a young age, he fell ill for half a month, which almost killed him.

Slamming the letter paper in her hand on the desk, Xiao Jinxuan felt extremely angry at this moment. She could bear to ignore Yang's power to purge everyone in Xiao's residence.

Even this biological mother, how many adoptive daughters she wants to take in to love and love her, but she doesn't want to have any contact with her, Xiao Jinxuan can also laugh it off.

But if her younger brother was bullied, she would never stand by and watch.

After being reborn, she returned to a relative she didn't care about, Xiao Wenyao, the younger brother, who died early due to snow in the previous life.

No matter what in this life, she will protect the other party to grow up, and whoever dares to hurt the other party even ask her, the older sister, if she agrees!
