National color medical concubine

Chapter 69
Furongju

Rong Yan was dressed very finely, sitting on the kang near the window, holding a teacup in her left hand, and twisting the tea cover with her right hand to blow off the steaming mist.Taking a sip, the scarlet lip balm was imprinted on the porcelain white cup rim, which was particularly glaring.

There were footsteps outside the door, Rong Yan looked up, her beautiful eyes were soaked in water mist, they were extraordinarily clear and clear, and the water was rippling: "What's the matter?"

Yao Huang replied one by one with the information after the interrogation: "The original servants in Furongju have 11 people on duty, and five of them are away tonight. Zhao Fan has gone to check their whereabouts."

"Their background has been thoroughly investigated." Rong Yan said coldly.

"Wei Zi went to investigate."

Zhao Fan hurried in, and said with a cold expression: "Three of them went out to the gambling house, and two of them were quite suspicious. One was the woman who guarded the backyard gate. When she went to the kitchen to beg for wine, she met a heavy Mrs. Li from Hualou, the two chatted for a while. One is the dumb woman in the flower house, she moved a few pots of flowers and sent them to several yards today, including Chonghualou."

Rong Yan sneered: "Bring them here!"

After a while, Zhao Fan brought the two of them.

What's the matter with the second young lady from Fu Gui's family calling her here?
The dumb woman looked around anxiously, and stood in the middle of the room in an orderly manner.

"Your Majesty!"

The rich family trembled and knelt on the ground.

The dumb woman was still standing straight, and when everyone looked at her, they showed puzzled expressions.

The rich man tugged at her sleeve, and the dumb woman knelt down in panic.

Rong Yan looked at the trembling two, she stood up and said, "What do you want to say?"

"Slave... I don't know what I did wrong, I just went to the kitchen to beg for a couple of drinks, and I didn't hide my laziness." The rich family broke out in a cold sweat.

The dumb woman stared straight ahead, as if she was really a deaf-mute person who couldn't hear anything.

The loyal member of the wealthy family said on behalf of the dumb woman: "Second Miss, the dumb woman has been deaf and mute for more than ten years and has been working in the greenhouse. She can't hear you when you speak, so what's wrong?"

Rong Yan couldn't help but feel it was funny, she couldn't protect herself and spoke for others, she said coldly, "Who are you from?"

The rich family looked at Rong Yan blankly, unable to understand what she said.

Rong Yan couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't understand?" Immediately, she winked at Yao Huang.

Yao Huang poured out the red-hot iron nails from the stove in the corner and threw them on the ground.

The complexion of Fugui's family turned pale, and he quickly kowtowed and said, "Miss, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong! Don't dare again!"

"Lin Fugui broke his leg half a year ago and is recuperating at home. The whole family is waiting for you to support him. Your worthless son owes a huge amount of gambling debts. If you say that something will happen to you, will they still survive?" Rong Yan's tone was as gentle as water, and she said seductively: "I will give you a chance, it depends on whether you can grasp it!"

The rich family was extremely shocked, Rong Yan knew her very well, even though she was given a choice of retreat, she had to consider the threat in the words.Struggling in my heart for a while, determination flashed in my eyes, and I said: "The servant girl is Aunt Zhou's cousin, she asked me to find a job for her earlier, I asked someone to find a job for her in the third lady's courtyard, and informed her Come to work, she said she found a job. I didn't think much about it at the time, but later I found out that she often came to look for me outside the mansion, and I ran into the old man being raised outside. Later... Later, when she became pregnant, the eldest lady happened to return to her mother's house, The elder took her into the mansion."

"Miss, this servant is not telling lies, she has a relationship with the elder, it really has nothing to do with me!" The rich family was afraid that Rong Yan would not believe it, so he hurriedly explained.

Rong Yan's eyes flickered, she didn't expect to be forced to ask such unexpected news.

He knew in his heart that she couldn't be Xie Qiao's person, and if she was Xie Qiao's person, she would definitely not confess to Aunt Zhou.

After all, Aunt Zhou has a closer relationship than Xie Qiao.

Zhao Fan took Fugui's family away.

Rong Yan looked up and down kneeling on the ground, staring straight at her dumb woman.The corners of her mouth slowly rose, and in the end she was very suspicious.

Are you deaf?
She wanted to see if she was really deaf or fake deaf!
Yao Huang received Rong Yan's wink, picked up a gong, and quietly knocked heavily on the dumb woman's ear a few times.

The deafening sound almost broke her eardrums.

If the dumb woman hadn't tried her best to restrain herself, she would have almost jumped up.There was a buzzing in her ears, and a piercing pain came from deep in her ears, tugging at her nerves.

Rong Yan frowned, her ears felt a little uncomfortable, but the dumb woman was expressionless and didn't even blink.Was she really wrong in her suspicion?
"Miss……"

Rong Yan waved her hand, wondering which part of her made a mistake, or was she in the wrong direction from the beginning?
Yao Huang signaled the dumb woman to go down.

Wei Zi happened to pass her by, and suddenly, he looked back at the people around Yao Huang, frowning.

Yao Huang nodded: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Wei Zi glanced at the dumb woman coldly, snorted coldly in his heart, entered the room and said to Rong Yan: "Miss, the servants have checked all of them, except for a few unclean hands and feet who were sent here, only the dumb woman is special .You would never have imagined that she would be the maid who married Li Shi! She made a mistake and was poisoned, deaf and dumb."

Rong Yan suddenly smiled, it seems she guessed right!
Li's people?

It's really hidden!

"How do you plan to deal with it?" Wei Zi asked.

The smile on Rong Yan's face was quite weird, and she said sullenly: "Let's keep it for now." It's still very useful!
……

Xie Qiao was fidgeting, pacing back and forth, waiting for Ming Xiu to deliver the news of Furongju.

"Miss, miss!" Mingxiu came from outside, and said with a long breath: "The dumb woman was taken for interrogation, but she was freed for a cup of tea, and all is well."

Xie Qiao's heart sank, still a little uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

"Keep an eye on it recently." Xie Qiao looked at the dancing candlelight on the table, her bright eyes were bright and dim, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking at the moment.

Mingxiu didn't know if Xie Qiao believed it, or was he worried about the dumb woman?Without disturbing her thoughts any more, she exited quietly.

The next day, Rong Shu and Rong Ning came to Xie Qiao together to give Rong Yan a make-up gift.

The butler took the bird's nest that Liu had ordered for the old lady to the Chonghua Building, and happened to meet a few people who were about to go out at the gate of the courtyard: "Miss, the second lady took the second young master to the temple to fulfill the vow, and these are for the old man." Bird's nest of human beings, you register it and send it to the old lady."

"Can we deal with it later?" Xie Qiao took the bird's nest, the best blood swallow, a big deal!
"The old madam is urging." The housekeeper asked why.

Xie Qiao handed over the things he was going to add makeup to Rong Shu, and asked her to help bring them to Rong Yan.

Go back to the house, register the things, and order Baizhi to send the blood swallow to Fushoutang.

After finishing the work, Duke Fu sent her over to Shuixie.

The waterside pavilion is built in the middle of the lake, with upper and lower floors, cornices and corners, red pillars and green tiles.

When Xie Qiao came with Bai Zhi, Yu Qinglan was sitting at the stone table drinking in the waterside pavilion.The warm and soft eyebrows and eyes are deep and dark at the moment, and the indifferent and alienated aura on his body does not match his usual.

"Women are not allowed to look down on strangers, why did Duke Fu let me be alone with you?" Xie Qiao left Bai Zhi outside, sat down next to him, and snatched the jug from his hand: "Use wine to drown your sorrows." Worry more."

Yu Qinglan was slightly stunned, leaning on the red pillar and said: "I told him that you are my fellow apprentice." Then she lowered her voice and said, "Thanks to Qin Suo's help for what happened in the palace yesterday. But, I still heard According to some rumors, you are his future princess?"

Xie Qiao was silent for a moment, then frowned and said, "Do you think it's possible?"

"Xiaoqiao, you are an independent person and very smart. I am not interfering in your marriage, but just want to tell you. The water in the county prince's mansion is too deep. Once you get involved, you can't get out. No matter what you do What kind of decision, I hope you make it in a very clear state." Yu Qinglan took a deep look at her, and then sighed softly: "I don't want you to regret it."

Xie Qiao knew what he meant, and was afraid that she would be coerced when she had no choice.His caring words warmed her heart.Seeing his face glowing like jade under the sunlight, his eyes shining with fragments of light, full of worry, he couldn't help smiling slightly: "Brother, you are worrying too much. We said at the beginning that everything is up to you. Then stay away from worldly affairs, idle clouds and wild cranes. Take one or two apprentices and pass on medical skills?"

Yu Qinglan was noncommittal, and said elegantly: "The world is changing, and it's too early to make a conclusion." The implication was that he didn't take those words to heart. "After you returned to Beijing, did you get anything related to your mother?" As soon as the words came out, Yu Qinglan regretted a little.

She shouldn't be involved.

Xie Qiao's eyes dimmed, and many memories of the past came to mind... The senior brother is still her senior brother, he remembers his master's words and takes good care of her.However, after leaving Shennong Valley and returning to the capital, everything changed.

He has changed, and so has she!

They are no longer pure!
The breeze blew away her hair, and a strand of her hair brushed the corners of her eyes and brows. When she closed her eyes, she opened them again and it was clear again: "I'm just joking." Said very lightly: "Yes! What is the brother asking?"

Yu Qinglan seemed to feel her changing mood, patted her head affectionately, and said warmly: "No matter how the world changes, I am your senior brother, and I will always be!" But she did not continue to ask before.

If the letter he wanted was really in her hands, if he took it away, he might really involve her in right and wrong!

Xie Qiao smiled lowly, yes, he will always be.

It's just that I can't go back to the past and talk about everything.

Looking at the whiteness of Shengxue, going away little by little, and finally disappearing from her sight, her eyes hurt slightly.

The master once told them that the two will depend on each other for life from now on.

But, after all, they all bear different destinies.

Xie Qiao felt a little lost and sad.

Sitting quietly on the waterside pavilion for a long time, Bai Zhi came in anxiously and called softly, "Miss?"

"If the closest and most reliable person you used to speak to you is tentative, will you become a stranger?" Xie Qiao took a deep breath, exhaled the stale air in his chest, and said with a smile: "As long as he speaks bluntly , I will have nothing to hide."

Bai Zhi was taken aback for a moment, before she understood, Xie Qiao got up and left.

-

Two days later, Mingxiu came in in a hurry and said solemnly: "Miss, something happened to the dumb woman!"

Snapped--

Guan Su in Xie Qiao's hand fell to the ground, and suddenly looked up: "What did you say?"

Mingxiu said anxiously: "Miss, the dumb woman sent flowers to Aunt Zhou under the order of the second young lady, but for some reason, she knocked Aunt Zhou down and became pregnant. It turned out that the child could be kept, but then somehow, the child disappeared. The Elder Master got angry and sent someone to arrest the dumb woman."

Xie Qiao looked cold and walked quickly to the Moon Silver Pavilion.

Before he got close, he heard Aunt Zhou crying bitterly.

Xie Qiao walked into the courtyard, and saw a strange smile flashing across the face of Rong Yan who was standing beside Rong Que.And the dumb woman was lying on the longboard face down, her body was bloody.

Xie Qiao's pupils shrank, the blood on his face faded instantly, and he staggered back a few steps.

late!

She is late!

Staring blankly at the bloody dumb woman on the long board, she suddenly pushed away Ming Xiu's supporting hand, and stumbled over.He stretched out his hand to touch the dumb woman's face, her eyes were wide open, and her complexion was twisted ferociously due to pain.His trembling fingers supported her pulse, and he gradually felt the dumb woman's hand turn from warmth to ice-cold.

Xie Qiao's eyes were sore and swollen, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, everything in front of him was blurred.

"Why, you can't take it anymore?" Rong Yan squatted beside Xie Qiao, and said slowly: "It's a pity you didn't see the wonderful scene just now, you don't know, this lowly slave is loyal. Qiandao She didn't even admit the relationship with your mother and daughter. She cut it off one by one, tsk tsk, it hurts me to see it. You are obviously neither dumb nor deaf. To cover you, your ears were beaten by gongs all night , I was deafened for life... I rolled all over the floor in pain with my head in my arms, but I just refused to beg for mercy."

She didn't intend to get rid of the dumb woman just like that, she just caught her sneaking around in the yard, worried that she might do something against her, searched the yard back and forth but couldn't find anything suspicious, and the interrogation also refused to speak , don't blame her for being cruel!
Xie Qiao clenched his fists tightly, almost bleeding.Rong Yan's words crushed her mind like a curse, as if being poured with oil, the anger in her heart almost burst out.He was completely restrained, and his chest was painfully squeezed by the surging and rushing anger.

Looking at the swollen mouth of the dumb woman, she opened her mouth, and the inner lip was stitched up.Perhaps it was because the torture process was too painful, and some threads had been torn apart, and the flesh and blood were flying.

"You're good at sewing, right? I gave her a chance, but she didn't appreciate it. Since she likes to pretend to be dumb, I made her speechless." Rong Yan laughed, her eyes flashed joyfully.

"Shut up!" Xie Qiao shouted in a cold voice, closing his eyes fiercely, burning all inside.

Rong Yan laughed loudly, a strange light flashed in her eyes, she said with hatred: "Why? I can't take it anymore? It's not enough! Xie Qiao, this is just the beginning!" Huo Ran got up and walked to Rong Que In front of him, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Father, have you seen it? The dumb woman is indeed hers, no—it should be said to be Li's." Hearing Aunt Zhou's heartbreaking cry from inside the room, Rong Yan sympathized and said: "It's really pitiful. Fortunately, Aunt Zhou treated her as her own, talked about everything, and cooked for her to make snacks for her. In the end, what did you get in exchange?" At the end, she shook her head.

Rong Que's face was ashen, and Rong Yan's words of "talking about everything" angered him!

At first, I wondered how Xie Qiao knew that Aunt Zhou was pregnant!It was because Aunt Zhou treated her as a friend, but she didn't expect Xie Qiao to be so wolf-hearted that he wouldn't even let an innocent woman and child go!
Furious, he stretched out his hand and slapped Xie Qiao's face.

Xie Qiao blocked Rong Que's hand with his hands, his eyes were cold, and he said word by word: "If you dare to treat me and the people around you in the slightest, I will never let you go!" Pushing him away fiercely .

Rong Que took a few steps back, his expression almost distorted.

"When did the dumb woman harm the fetus in Aunt Zhou's womb? She knocked down the fetus last night. As far as I know, the doctor said that the fetus is fine. Why are you holding her accountable when the fetus is gone today? Rong Que, don't talk about Aunt Zhou. Your brain, don't blame you for not having any concubines or concubine daughters!" Xie Qiao's eyes were like arrows, and his tone was extremely disrespectful and disdainful.

Faced with the aggressive Xie Qiao, Rong Que was speechless.

He was only arrested for interrogation after being reminded by Rong Yan, thinking of the dumb woman who knocked down Aunt Zhou!
But I didn't expect it to be a stubborn one, so I punished...

"Who else is it if it's not her!" Rong Que refused to give in to Xie Qiao, and insisted: "Aside from you, who else would harm Aunt Zhou? Now you are happy?"

Xie Qiao was furious, his voice condensed into ice: "If it wasn't for her, you would knock your head three times in front of the dumb woman's grave to apologize!"

Rong Que's complexion suddenly changed, this bitch is humiliating him!

He kowtowed to a lowly servant to make amends?What a joke!

The atmosphere was suddenly tense.

Rong Yan suddenly giggled and said, "Eldest sister, you are worrying too much, I will definitely not wrong anyone. I have already consulted the doctor to confirm what went wrong."

At this moment, the doctor came out with a medicine box and said, "The bird's nest eaten by Aunt Zhou is poisonous."

Bird's nest?

Rong Que was stunned: "How is it possible, I took this from the old lady! How could she harm the child in Aunt Zhou's womb?"

Rong Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and she seemed a little disbelieving: "Father, what if there is any misunderstanding? You should ask grandma."

Rong Que rushed to Fushou Hall angrily.

Rong Yan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Why don't you go and see, Big Sister?"

Xie Qiao gave her a cold look, and ordered Bai Zhi to take the dumb woman back to Chonghua Building, and left in a huff.

Rong Yan didn't care, and followed closely.

In the Fushou Hall, Mrs. Zhu was resting her eyes with her eyes closed, while Madam Cao knelt on the ground and beat her legs.

bang——

Rong Que knocked open the door and came in. Zhu Shi was so frightened that he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Rong Que sharply, and said angrily, "Why are you so reckless?"

"Mother, why did you kill Aunt Zhou? How did she offend you?" Rong Que asked Shang Zhu.

Zhu Shi was extremely surprised, and immediately, his eyes were filled with sarcasm and coldness.Throwing the round fan in his hand at his feet, he said with a sneer, "I have given birth to a good son! If I want to harm Aunt Zhou, will I still give you bird's nest and give her a baby?"

"The bird's nest is poisonous!" Rong Que was stunned by Zhu's, and his momentum instantly became shorter.

Mrs. Zhu was stunned, her face darkened suddenly, and she ordered Madam Cao to take out the bird's nest: "This is the bird's nest delivered a few days ago, it has been locked in the cabinet, how could it be poisonous?"

Mammy Cao took out a few cups of bird's nest.

The doctor brought by Rong Que immediately stepped forward to inspect it, nodded and said, "It is indeed poisonous."

"What?" Mrs. Zhu got up abruptly, frowned and said, "The bird's nest was purchased by the second family. It has been in good condition and has never been in anyone's hands." After a pause, his eyes were cold and sharp: "Call Mrs. Liu over here!"

The red algae went immediately.

After a while, Mrs. Liu came over.

The atmosphere in the room was dull. Mrs. Liu glanced at everyone, her eyes fell on the bird's nest placed on the table, and she frowned slightly: "Mother, what's wrong with this bird's nest?"

Zhu said coldly: "The bird's nest is poisonous."

"How is it possible?" Mrs. Liu stepped forward to take a piece of bird's nest and held it up to the light for a moment and said, "I have always bought bird's nest from one place. When I came here, I happened to take my newborn son to the temple to fulfill my vows, so check who has taken over the bird's nest."

Mrs. Zhu looked up at Hongzao, who immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Yesterday, Baizhi brought it here."

Angelica?

Everyone looked at Xie Qiao together.

Xie Qiao's thoughts were like lightning, and he looked at Liu Shi, and worry flashed in Liu Shi's eyes.He said coldly: "The housekeeper registered it for me, and ordered someone to deliver it immediately."

"I remember my younger sisters went to add makeup to me that day, but my eldest sister didn't go, she was just dealing with the matter of the bird's nest. It didn't take much effort to register. Our sisters waited for you for a long time and didn't see you coming. We asked someone to ask you Not in the house either." Rong Yan was quite intentional, implying that Xie Qiao had time to replace the bird's nest.

Xie Qiao looked at Rong Yan, Rong Yan did not hide it, her gaze was as cold as a poisonous snake.Seeing that Mrs. Zhu was going to have a seizure, she continued, "The housekeeper brought the bird's nest at the end of the day, and it was delivered to Fushou Hall at [-]:[-]. I'm afraid I won't have time to replace it in such a short period of time?" There was a sneer in her heart, she really killed two birds with one stone!Use the dumb woman to knock off the fetus in Aunt Zhou's womb, and then use Rong Que's hand to get rid of the dumb woman.Instigated Rong Que to ask Zhu Shi for bird's nest to promote all this.

Not only did he remove the eyeliner, he also got rid of himself, but he could also cut off the hidden danger of Aunt Zhou for the eldest lady!
Hongzao said tremblingly: "Miss, the bird's nest was sent by Shen Shi!"

Xie Qiao's complexion changed.

Bai Zhi, who rushed over after dealing with the dumb woman's affairs, slightly averted her eyes when she heard Hong Zao's words.

Xie Qiao looked at it coldly.

Bai Zhi trembled: "Miss, servant... When I delivered it, my stomach hurt badly. It happened that Chunzhu was beside me. I was afraid that there would be delay, so I asked Chunzhu to deliver it for me."

Xie Qiao didn't have time to speak, Rong Yan said reproachfully: "Big sister, grandma just has a clear distinction between love and hate, and she has many misunderstandings with you that have not been resolved, and she has prejudice against you. But you can't just because of this... Kill her!" The voice changed abruptly: "I have wronged eldest sister, so I asked someone to search her house."

Xie Qiao's eyes pierced his bones like ice and shattered snow, he tightly held the hand hanging by his side, turned his head and said to Zhu Shi: "Old lady..."

But Mrs. Zhu cut off her words: "Mother Cao, take someone to search!"

Xie Qiao pursed his lips tightly and looked out the window frequently.

Seeing her uneasy look, Rong Yan's smile became brighter and brighter.

At this moment, Duke Fu who came over after hearing the news glanced at everyone, sat beside Mrs. Zhu, and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Mrs. Zhu snorted coldly: "Ask your good granddaughter, she wants me to treat her well every day, but how can she treat me? Take the opportunity to poison my things! If it wasn't for the fact that I had a heart attack these few days and didn't eat , was poisoned to death long ago!"

Duke Fu frowned and looked at Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao lowered her head, making it difficult to see her expression at the moment.

Rong Que pointed at Xie Qiao angrily and said: "Father, she has a heart like a snake and a scorpion, and she wants to harm her mother. It will be a disaster to keep her in the mansion sooner or later. Once this matter is over, I will make a decision with her."

"You are so young, so unstable. You say that sister Hua is harmful, do you have any evidence now?" Fu Guogong frowned, extremely dissatisfied with Rong Que's behavior.

Rong Que's heart froze, and suddenly he saw Cao Mama and others rushing over, holding a small cloth bag in their hands, sneered, and did not speak again.

Mammy Cao put the things on the table and said, "Old Madam, this is a bird's nest found in Missy's house."

Xie Qiao stared at the little cloth bag in a panic.

Mrs. Liu opened it, and it really was a blood swallow with excellent appearance.

Zhu's face was gloomy, and he said sarcastically: "Why, donating the dowry is poor, and you start to steal chickens and dogs?"

Rong Yan pursed her lips and smiled triumphantly, leaning back in the chair relaxedly.

The doctor put the bird's nest in the water basin. Before testing the poison, the water quickly turned red, and the bird's nest instantly turned white, with a light pink stain on it.

Everyone was surprised.

Xie Qiao's cheeks were flushed, as if he didn't expect that the fake blood swallow would be found out: "I'm short of money, so I asked someone to buy ordinary official swallow to dye as blood swallow, and sold it at a high price."

Liu's eyes flickered slightly, and with a smile on his lips, he asked, "Doctor, is this bird's nest poisonous?"

The doctor shook his head: "No."

Zhu's face turned ugly, and she glared at Cao Mama.

Cao Mama looked at Rong Yan, she followed the instructions to find it in the corner, how could it be a fake!

How can it be?

Rong Yan stood up in shock, her delicately made-up face twitched a few times, and her hands tore the thin silk handkerchief in half with all her might.

blah-

The sound of tearing silk was especially piercing in the quiet room.

Xie Qiao asked with concern: "Sister Yan'er, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly, are you feeling unwell?"

Rong Yan collected herself, and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing..."

"Since I searched my house and didn't find a replacement bird's nest, why not search Yan'er's sister's house as well." Xie Qiao looked at the discolored Rong Yan and said with a slight smile: "After all, this girl Chunzhu used to be the eldest lady." The girl next to her was still wearing the clothes I brought over. I cut some new clothes for her, but she put them in the bottom of the box, saying that she is a conservative, and she would change them after wearing them out. In this way, she I'm afraid he is also a nostalgic person!"

Xie Qiao pointed out something, and Chunzhu turned to the eldest lady.As for the bird's nest in her hands, Da Furen and Rong Yan are also inseparable.

"Big Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?" Rong Yan felt terrified, Xie Qiao's house did not receive anything Chunzhu put down, so she must have noticed it a long time ago.So she just proposed to take her house, didn't she—

"Sister Yan'er doesn't want to be wronged, right? Just do a search, and it will just wash away your disgust." Xie Qiao stopped talking to her, and turned to look at Mrs. Zhu: "Madam, do you think so?"

Mrs. Zhu didn't know what Xie Qiao was selling, so she remained silent.

Duke Fu waved his hand: "Rong San, take someone to search!"

Rong San immediately took people to Furong Residence.

Rong Yan's forehead suddenly burst into cold sweat, she looked at Fu Guogong in disbelief, she didn't expect him to protect Xie Qiao so far!
Rong Que gave Xie Qiao a sideways look, and said anxiously: "Father, how could Yan'er do such a thing? Why are you fooling around with her?"

Duke Fu gave him a sideways look, and Rong Que immediately fell silent.

Mrs. Zhu also did not believe that Rong Yan would persecute her, but she was smart enough not to offend Duke Fu.

While waiting anxiously, Rong Yan was tormented in her heart, her fingers were tightly wrung together, praying that her room would be clean.

But, is it possible?

Rong Yan looked at Xie Qiao uncertainly, she would not do useless things!
Sure enough, Rong San came in with a wooden box in his hand.The blood swallows were arranged in a wooden box in an orderly manner, and Rong San handed an oiled paper package to the doctor: "These were all found in the second lady's room."

The doctor tested the powder in the oiled paper bag, and said solemnly, "This is the poison on the blood swallow."

Rong Yan's body softened, and she immediately knelt on the ground, crying: "Grandfather, grandmother, I didn't do it! I was wronged!"

Mrs. Zhu took the case and said angrily: "I have treated you well, why did you poison me?"

"No... no, I didn't..." Rong Yan shook her head, her trembling body gradually stabilized.She can't panic, calm down!

It's her wedding day soon, even if these things are found in the search, they won't do anything to her.

A stern look flashed in his eyes, but he heard Xie Qiao say: "Sister Yan'er didn't do it on purpose, it must be that the servant girl beside her is evil. If she continues to stay by Sister Yan'er's side, she won't be troubled in the East Palace in the future. It involves the Fuguo Duke's Mansion."

How could Xie Qiao not think of the layer that Rong Yan thought of?Even if Rong Yan didn't marry the crown prince, she still has use value to this mansion, but she will be punished lightly.

Thinking of the way she dealt with the dumb woman, Xie Qiao couldn't get rid of the hatred in his heart.

She cut off Rong Yan's left arm and right arm with an eye for an eye!

Hearing this, Rong Yan immediately guessed Xie Qiao's purpose, she gritted her teeth with hatred and said, "It can't be them!"

"Oh?" Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows: "So, you did replace the bird's nest?"

"I……"

"Tie up a few maidservants!" Fu Guogong's brows showed impatience, Rong Yan was ruthless, with a powerful arm by his side, maybe something uncontrollable would happen in the East Palace.And since he chose Xie Qiao, he wanted to appease her.

Rong Yan wanted the life of the dumb woman, Xie Qiao must have a hard-to-dispel hatred, he only hoped that these maidservants would be handed over to her, so that she could be comforted.

"Grandfather!" Rong Yan's face was as pale as snow. Zhao Fan, Yao Huang, and Wei Zi were her right and left arms. Without them, she would have a hard time doing things in the future!

What's more, the three of them are her confidants and know a lot of her secrets.If it falls into the hands of Xie Qiao...

Rong Yan broke out in a cold sweat, her eyes flashed ruthlessly.

Xie Qiao walked out of Fushou Hall, Rong Yan's eyes were gloomy, she clenched her teeth and said, "Don't get complacent too early! We'll see!"

"Wait and see!" Xie Qiao strode away.

……

In the backyard of the Chonghua Building, the scars on the dumb woman's body had been cleaned up, Xie Qiao put her in a shroud and put it in the coffin.

Mingxiu was sad in her heart, and there were tears in her eyes.From his sleeve, he took out the letter that the dumb woman had put in the flowerpot before she died: "I'm afraid this is the one that killed the dumb woman!"

Xie Qiao took the letter and unfolded it, the note was about the bird's nest.

She knew Rong Yan's motives, but she didn't get in touch with the dumb woman, fearing that she would be exposed in this extraordinary period.Who knows, she still died for herself after all!
Chunzhu didn't make a move for a long time, so she sent the opportunity to Chunzhu.Instructing Baizhi to send bird's nest to Zhu Shi, Baizhi pretends to have abdominal pain and entrusts Chunzhu to help.Chun Zhuduan will not miss this opportunity to do something, replace the bird's nest with poison, and then hide the exchanged bird's nest in the corner of her house.

It's just that the bag of poison was probably made by the dumb woman, right?
Rubbing a name written by the dumb woman at the end of the letter with her fingers, her heart felt sour. The dumb woman probably knew that she would be exposed, so she paved another way for her.

Xie Qiao kept the dumb woman for three days, and after the tomb was dug, he hired someone to bury the dumb woman in peace.

After everything was settled, Xie Qiao didn't go to see Zhao Fan, Yao Huang, and Wei Zi.

"Miss, they are locked up in the east courtyard." Mingxiu reminded Xie Qiao.

"Lead the way." Xie Qiao followed Ming Xiu to the place where they were detained.

Zhao Fan huddled in the corner, Xie Qiao came indifferently.

When Wei Zi saw Xie Qiao, he rushed forward with all his teeth and claws, and Ming Xiu kicked her away.

"Well——" Wei Zi groaned in pain, looked at Xie Qiao and said with a smile, "If you want to kill or scrape, it's up to you!"

Yao Huang said with hatred: "Don't waste your time trying to get any news from us!"

Xie Qiao took a close look at them, then suddenly smiled and said, "Let them both go."

Yao Huang and Wei Zi were startled, and stared at Xie Qiao dumbfounded.

"Miss!" Mingxiu exclaimed in disbelief.

Xie Qiao turned around and left.

Ming Xiu chased them out, and said angrily: "Miss, have you forgotten about the dumb women? Just let them go like this?"

Xie Qiao paused, tightened his fingers, and his eyes showed a freezing coldness: "Even if I want to show mercy and let them go, they are not willing to let me go."

"Then miss, you just keep forbearing and backing down!" Ming Xiu said bitterly, the miss is too soft-hearted!
Xie Qiao sneered: "I have no way to retreat! Everyone can put a butcher's knife on top of my head, should I stick my neck out and die under their butcher's knife?"

Since you don't want to die, then fight back completely!

Hearing this, Mingxiu knew that Xie Qiao already had his own ideas, so he let Wei Zi and Yao Huang go.According to the instructions, I specially gave the two of them a few bank notes.

After they left in a carriage, Xie Qiao got into another carriage and followed with Zhao Fan.

Zhao Fan didn't know what Xie Qiao was going to do, but only knew that the road was bumpy for a long time, Xie Qiao ordered the carriage to stop, and they walked up the hillside from a small path, standing in the hidden bushes, but they could have a panoramic view of what happened under the lock.

Zhao Fan frowned, and saw a frenzied horse rushing out of the front, hitting the carriage of Yao Huang and Wei Zi, and rolling to the bottom of the cliff.

"what--"

Zhao Fan exclaimed, her mouth was covered by Ming Xiu.

"How is it?" Xie Qiao looked at Zhao Fan with a gentle smile.

Zhao Fan's face was pale, and she bit her lips tightly and said, "If you let me watch this, will I betray Miss? Zuo will die..."

"I didn't kill them, it was your beloved young lady who wanted them to die!" Xie Qiao corrected.

Zhao Fan's heart trembled, and he shook his head in disbelief: "What can you explain with just a horse?"

"Is that so? You still refuse to believe it?" Xie Qiaosu pointed down the mountain with her slender fingers. Zhao Fan looked along and saw a person standing on the side of the mountain road looking down the cliff. After cleaning up the traces, he looked around and left.

Zhao Fan gritted his teeth and trembled.

"I can still tell you now that I will not kill you. If you say so, I will arrange another place for you. After all, we have no grievances or enmities! If you don't tell me, you will have the same fate as them." Xie Qiao's tone was like a breeze. Gentle, but it makes the listener stand up.

There was a flash of struggle in Zhao Fan's eyes, and suddenly, he knelt on the ground with a plop: "Miss, please point me to a clear path!"

"I knew you were a smart person." Xie Qiao's eyes were unpredictable. The reason why she attacked Zhao Fan was because the scar on Zhao Fan's face was given by Rong Yan.Women love beauty, and Zhao Fan is no exception. No matter how loyal she is, she is afraid of complaining.What's more, today's scene gave her a strong impact!

Taking a deep look at the cliff, Xie Qiao raised his lips and looked in the direction of the capital.

Are you - are you all ready?
……

Back in the Chonghua Building, Xie Qiao took out a red cloth bag from under the bed, and there were two letters in it, which were exactly the letters dug from Li's tomb.

On that day, Yu Qinglan asked her if she got anything from Mrs. Li, maybe it was these two letters?
"Mingxiu, you send it to senior brother." Xie Qiao handed the letter to Mingxiu. What he can ask is very important to him, right?
"Yes." Mingxiu went to Prince Rong's mansion.

When Yu Qinglan got the things Mingxiu sent, her eyes fluctuated, and finally she let out a long sigh.

He didn't intend to let her enter the game, but she still took this step!
Putting the letter on the desk and pushing it aside before Qin Mo's eyes, her tone was not as relaxed as she wished, but her dark eyes became more serious: "There are many situations where it is inconvenient for me to come forward to protect her, this time she took out this letter Believe me, the beneficiary is you, and her safety is entrusted to you. If she hurts even the slightest bit, I will take care of you."
