Houfu poisonous girl can't be bullied

Chapter 262 Xiang'er Found It

Chu Lingyao raised his eyebrows: "Who?"

"Scent."

Satisfied with the surprised look on Chen Lingyao's face, Murong Jing smiled and said, "I was quite surprised when I first found out, but Bai Zhi ran over to take a look in person, and I'm sure it's her."

"But why did people go to Xishan and stay there for so long?"

Before Bai Aoshuang found the Gu worm on the corpse, she was convinced by the scars on the corpse that it was not Xiang'er, so compared to the news that "Xiang'er is still alive", why she appeared in Xishan is obviously more puzzling.

Although Xishan seldom interacts with the outside world, it is too close to the imperial city after all. Xiang'er finally feigned death to get rid of this identity. Wouldn't it be better to go away and hide her name?
"That's not clear."

Murong Jing shook his head, he just got the news this morning, and has not had any contact with Xiang'er who "resurrected from the dead", so naturally he doesn't know the reason.

But now that the person has been found, the reason behind it is naturally known. What Chu Lingyao was curious about was other aspects: "Didn't Bai Aoshuang say that the Gu worms on her body could change her appearance at will? How did Bai Zhi find her?"

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank Miss Lianhua."

Deliberately distanced himself from the person by address, and before Chu Lingyao could make fun of this person again, Murong Jing quickly continued: "According to Brother Luo, he happened to meet a middle-aged woman who fainted when he went out that day. On the side of the road, she couldn't bear to let her be the food of jackals, so she rescued her back home, but Mrs. Luo took pity on the woman who had nowhere to go, so she took her to live in the village."

Chu Lingyao didn't speak for a long time, and only now did he question: "Wait, middle-aged woman?"

Rao knew that Xiang'er hadn't shown her true face to others before, but Chu Lingyao never thought that that bright little girl would suddenly become a middle-aged woman.

"Yes."

Murong Jing nodded helplessly: "At the time when the body was discovered outside the city, Brother Luo naturally knew that we were looking for someone. If it wasn't for Xiang'er's voice and appearance, he wouldn't have been discovered until now."

That's true, Chu Lingyao nodded: "Then Xiang'er fled to Xishan to hide from her enemies?"

"I only asked Bai Zhi to pick her up first, and I haven't asked her why she fled."

Murong Jing said: "If it's really to avoid revenge, it stands to reason that Xishan is relatively closed. As long as she doesn't venture out, I'm afraid no one will find her."

It is useless to guess here, and Chu Lingyao's attention quickly turned to the main topic: "Then what does it have to do with Lianhua after discovering Xiang'er?"

These two people have no intersection.

"This is about those things on Miss Lianhua."

When the girl was rescued by them, it could be said that she was almost dying, but she was still carrying some seemingly useless bottles and jars on her body. It was later discovered that they were some poisons.

But after knowing Lianhua's life experience, they never paid attention to those medicines again. Could it be that Xiang'er is still related to these poisons?

"Xiang'er only knows witchcraft but not poison, but the Gu worms she planted on her body happen to be very sensitive to these poisons."

Looking at Chu Lingyao's expression, Murong Jing knew what he was thinking, so he simply explained all the news reported by Bai Zhi.

It turned out that Lianhua felt quite bored after being sent to Xishan, and accidentally saw that there were things from Weiyuanhou's family in Xiang'er, so she went to ask out of curiosity.Unexpectedly, Xiang'er's attitude is very bad, and Lianhua is not one to hold back her temper. The two came and went back and forth, but they had conflicts, and they both gave in and retreated after being persuaded.

It's just that the two of them gave in on the surface considering their status as guests, but they were resentful in private. Xiang'er was in a bad mood, and Lianhua couldn't help her temper, so something happened that night.

Chu Lingyao felt nervous for a while, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Murong Jing sighed: "Lianhua wanted to make Xiang'er suffer, so she went to Xiang'er's room to poison in the dead of night. Who knew that Xiang'er had planted Gu worms outside the door early on, and the two of them could be regarded as rivals."

"Huh? So what's going on now?"

Both of these two had been by her side for a while, and Chu Lingyao had a good impression of both of them, but he really didn't expect that both of them would be poisoned if they disagreed.

"It's just a prank, it's not a big problem."

Murong Jing smiled: "However, the Gu worms in Xiang'er's body can only maintain their appearance under a certain balance, and the poison of Lianhua obviously broke this balance. After Lianhua woke up, her appearance changed drastically. That’s when I remembered to check Xiang’er’s identity with me.”

"Then what does she look like now? How did Bai Zhi recognize her? Where is she now?"

Although she doesn't have any feelings for Xiang'er, after all, she has been together for a while, and Chu Lingyue is naturally happy when she hears that she is still alive. Questions pop up one after another, and Murong Jing is inevitably a little jealous: "Madam is so caring about others, why Husband is really not feeling well."

Chu Lingyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you mistaken? After all, Xiang'er is from the Weiyuanhou Mansion. Maybe she has some other purpose for coming to Weiyuanhou Mansion. I am naturally concerned."

A middle-aged aunt, what kind of vinegar are you eating, Lord Hou!

"in spite of."

Murong Jing also went on arrogantly: "Let Weiyuanhou take care of the people in Marquis Weiyuan's mansion, Madam is now a member of Marquis Jingcheng's mansion, it's enough to take care of Marquis Jingcheng well."

Chu Lingyue secretly rolled her eyes, and raised her hand to pinch the man's cheek: "Give me a truthful account, or else you will have to survive!"

"Come on, my lord—"

The deliberately protracted syllables and Murong Jing's meaningful gaze made the hairs all over Chu Lingyue's body explode instantly, and she took two steps back in time to keep a good distance from the person: "Stop! Let's talk about the serious business first!"

Naturally, Lord Jingcheng would not let go of any opportunity to take advantage of his daughter-in-law, so he "ravaged" her for a while before returning to the topic: "Xiang'er has no details after all, so staying with Big Brother Luo will eventually make you feel better." It's not safe, so I sent her to the medicine house."

Xiang'er was Bai Aoshuang's maid after all, so she is quite familiar with Yaolu, and now Bai Aoshuang lives in the Imperial Hospital, so it would be more suitable for Xiang'er to live in Yaolu.

"No one usually goes to the medicine house. Since she wants to avoid the pursuit of her enemies, it's not bad to go to the medicine house."

Chu Lingyao was slightly relieved: "The most important thing now is to find out what her intentions are in sneaking into the imperial city."

"I'll let Bai Zhi ask."

"No."

But Chu Lingyao shook his head, and Murong Jing frowned: "Madam won't ask me to go in person again?"

"It's a good idea." Chu Lingyao cast a sideways glance at the man: "After Lianhua was sent away, Lord Hou felt empty and lonely, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to be with Xiang'er alone?"

Murong Jing's face was full of black lines: "But before Xiang'er's enemies are known, it's not easy to reveal her position."

Besides him and the people around him, who else can be trusted?

"You are the easiest to expose."

Chu Lingyao's face was full of disgust: "Such a big target must be noticed wherever he goes, right? I'm afraid the medicine house will be discovered before you see Xiang'er."

Before Murong Jing could speak again, Chu Lingyao continued: "Before that, Xiang'er has always resisted going to Jingchenghou's mansion with me, don't have an old relationship with Lord Hou."

"Why did it involve me again?" Murong Jing felt that it might be snowing outside right now: "I have never met this person before, how could there be any intersection?"

"It's true that Xiang'er doesn't want to go with me to Jingchenghou's Mansion." Chu Lingyao spread his hands: "And why?"

Murong Jing froze for a moment, and realized that she was being teased again when she met Shang Chu Lingyao's smiling eyes, and couldn't help but feel helpless.

I don't know if it's luck or misfortune to have such a wife...

Back to the topic, Lord Jingcheng has a headache. It is indeed too obvious that he suddenly went to the medicine house, but who can make Xiang'er let down his guard without attracting attention...

"correct!"

A figure suddenly flashed across his mind, and Murong Jing looked at the indifferent smile on Chen Lingyao's face, and couldn't help but patted his forehead: "Why did I forget that Xiang'er has a fellow student?"

As a disciple of Bai Aoshuang, it is natural for Meng Yanhe to take care of the medicine house, and compared to Murong Jing, Xiang'er naturally trusts Meng Yanhe who gets along day and night more.

"I'm afraid Yanhe is upset right now, so this matter can help her divert her attention."

Murong Jing leaned over to steal a scent on Chu Lingyue's cheek: "Madam is still thoughtful."

Chu Lingyao looked at the man with distaste, can you really not divorce her husband if he is so stupid?

Although there were no fewer things today than yesterday, in view of the situation this morning, Murong Jing stayed at Chu Lingyao's place until noon before leaving. Chu Lingyao also went to the Imperial Hospital directly to look for Bai Aoshuang without the idleness of yesterday afternoon.

Before Zhixi's matter was found out, it was naturally difficult to tell the queen mother, she could only pay more attention to everything around the queen mother, and when it came to drug testing, Bai Aoshuang was of course the most trusted.

On the other hand, after receiving the news from Murong Jing, Meng Yanhe went to the medicine house in the afternoon of the same day. Although he had made psychological preparations, Meng Yanhe still couldn't react when he suddenly saw the middle-aged Xiang'er.

Lianhua's poison made Xiang'er look younger, but the change is still too big compared to before.

On the contrary, Xiang'er seemed quite familiar, and when Meng Yanhe came back to her senses, she took the initiative to say: "Before I kept it from you and the eldest lady to protect myself, I'm really sorry."

"Maybe."

Xiang'er's words undoubtedly confirmed Murong Jing's previous speculation about her "avoiding hatred". Meng Yanhe couldn't help being curious: "Could it be that sister Xiang'er still has enemies in the imperial city?"

Since there was a grudge, why did he come to the imperial city in the first place, and why didn't he flee far away after feigning death?

Xiang'er didn't deny this, but after that, she let Meng Yanhe ask how she wanted but stopped talking, knowing that this person was still frightened, Meng Yanhe didn't force him, just chatted with him for a few gossiping words and left up.

Even without Murong Jing's entrustment, Meng Yanhe would not leave Xiang'er alone for the sake of the two being from the same family, and as Chu Lingyao said, the Duke's Mansion is now in a deadlock because of her marriage. The medicine house can be regarded as relaxed.

Xu is grateful for Meng Yanhe's company, and Xiang'er's attitude has softened a little in the past few days, and she has talked more, but she still keeps silent when talking about her enemies.

"that's it?"

It was really boring in the palace, only three days later Chu Lingyao asked Murong Jing to wait for Meng Yanhe to enter the palace, and asked about Xiang'er's recent situation.
