The concubine wants to farm: the alluring wife raises the emperor

Chapter 281

"Is this feeling good?" After the yamen servant finished beating the whip, Xu Yuan finally stared at the servant's face seriously.

His face was already pale, but he could still see the inexplicable stubbornness.

Xu Yuan shrugged, it seemed that she was not soft but rather tough.

"Come on, tell me, why do you want to poison the food?"

"There's no reason, just thinking about it." He pursed his chapped lips, speaking in a hoarse voice.

"Who ordered you?"

"No one instructed me."

"Is it your master, Fang Shunsheng?"

"Don't you understand? I said no one instructed me!" He suddenly became restless.

Xu Yuan touched her ears, and said with a smile, "Let me think about it, did Fang Shunsheng catch you and ask you to help him get medicine?"

"It has nothing to do with our master!" He almost roared, "It has nothing to do with him! You can't have anything to do with him!"

She clearly saw the fear and faint tears in the servant's eyes.

"It seems that he really got hold of it." Xu Yuan asked the servant at the side to drink some water for him to ease his voice.

"No." He turned his head, still looking stubborn.

Xu Yuan pursed her lips: "Then tell me, why do you want to protect him?"

"No."

"Master Qian caught you when you were sick, right?" She nodded at the herbs beside her, "Do you know what that is?"

"do not know."

"Then do you know why you have such a disease?"

"I don't know! I don't know!" He grabbed the rope in his hand, struggling desperately, "I don't know!"

Xu Yuan looked at his madness, and wondered in her heart whether this person was about to fall ill.

She recruited a yamen servant to the side: "When did you find out when he got sick yesterday?"

"About this hour, the sky just got dark."

She waved her hand to make the yamen servant stand back up again. The man on the cross was still struggling, with a hideous face.

She stood up and went out: "Let's untie him first, the wound on his body has been treated properly for him."

This matter doesn't feel so simple, she needs to know how this servant was caught by Fang Shunsheng, otherwise she won't be able to find a solution to the problem.

Master Qian sat in the pavilion not far from the prison and waited: "How is it? How much did you have someone beat him?"

"Not much, just ten lashes." Xu Yuan sat down opposite him and drank a sip of tea, "Now that he's about to get sick, I'll ask someone to untie him and let him rest for a while."

"That's good, this matter can't be rushed."

"No, there is something that I really need to worry about. You send someone to see if Fang Shunsheng's people have made any moves recently. Fang Shunsheng must have caught the person inside, so he helped him hide it."

Master Qian nodded, and explained a few words to the yamen servant next to him.

"How did you judge these things? No matter what I asked, he would always say that he didn't know, and there was nothing I could do."

"Look at his actions and demeanor." Words can be hidden, but ordinary people's emotions cannot be hidden, so she kept probing.

"What kind of novel method is this?"

"It can't be said to be a novelty, it's just relying on my own observation." Xu Yuan raised her hand and touched her eyebrows to hide her emotions. Now it seems that there is no such thing as Mr. Qian and the people in the prison abusing prisoners. related.

After all, execution seems to be very difficult for him.

"This can be considered a skill." Master Qian laughed twice, "However, what do you think is the reason why this person was caught?"

"It's nothing more than family and children."

"Can't there be anything else?"

"Yes, but he has already reached this point. If the result is worse, he will die. If he can become a family servant, he is not a rich family. What else can be more important than his own life? Only family members." She paused After a pause, seeing that Master Qian seemed to be entangled by her, she continued, "If you were dying, there was a secret that could save your life, would you say so?"

"Of course I said, life-saving is important."

"That's it. If other things are before your own life, what's the point? Unless it's very important, and this kind of family is poor, and the only important thing is your family." Xu Yuan frowned. Brow, if you think about it this way, then this family member is also a poor man. He was threatened to do such a thing, and he couldn't speak out to justify himself, and he was addicted to it.

Master Qian nodded half-understood. Xu Yuan's explanation might be a bit circumvented, and he hasn't realized it yet.

"Okay, if there is any movement from Fang Shunsheng's people, you remember to rescue those people, so that we can let the people inside talk." She stood up, "There is nothing else, I will pick up my daughter gone."

"Go, go." Master Qian waved his hand, "Your little girl is very clever, and she managed to tame my lawless young son."

Xu Yuan pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing, not knowing where Wanwan got her skills.

She and Li Yin went to the school and took Wan Wan and Chang Zhu back. The weather has been colder these days, so these two children are dressed more roundly than before, and they look like they are from a distance. Like two balls.

It's clumsy to walk on the road, and I feel like I'm going to fall anytime, anywhere.

Xu Yuan stepped forward and took Wanwan's hand in her hand, so that she could have a reliable support without worrying that she would fall down at any time.

"Mother, why do you keep coming here these days?" Wanwan took off the scarf that was covering her mouth, it hindered her from talking too much.

Xu Yuan reached out and pulled the scarf back for her: "Because I have something to do here."

"Okay, Qian Yan said mother that you look so good-looking, and that I will also be good-looking in the future." She smiled, mother said Wanwan will also be a little beauty in the future?

"She's a great beauty." Xu Yuan felt even more sad for Chang Zhu, this Qian Yan must have been too sweet, compared to that Chang Zhu was too dull.

She turned her head to look at Chang Zhu who was following behind her, her lips were pressed together so tightly that Xu Yuan felt the danger.

"Wanwan, mother will cook something delicious for you today, okay?" She pulled Wanwan to speed up her pace.

"Daughter-in-law, walk slowly!" Li Yin was suddenly thrown away by these two people, and quickly followed.

A few people returned to Xu's mansion, and the cooking woman was preparing to cook.

Xu Yuan asked Li Yin to take the two children to play, and she and Chunyue Xiahua started to work in the kitchen.

Her cooking speed was as fast as ever, and she fried several dishes in two or three strokes and served them out.

Xu's father and Xu's mother had already sat at the table with the old man, waiting to eat.

"Is this the rice cooked by girl Yuanyuan?" The old man smelled the aroma of the food in front of him, with a shocked expression on his face.

"Yes, Yuanyuan's cooking skills are very good, but she has been busy these days, so she hasn't cooked much." Mother Xu praised with a smile.
