Chapter 140

"Miss is over the award, this is what Shaoyao should do." Shaoyao smiled slightly and was blessed.

As soon as she sat down, Rong Lanxue hurriedly asked: "Look at how stupid I am, I haven't gone to see my godfather yet." As she said that, she was about to get up, Xuan'er smiled, pulled her and said, "Daddy isn't here today?" At home, I went to the store, where is my sister going to meet Daddy?"

Rong Lanxue just sat down and sighed: "What a coincidence, how is godfather?"

"Well, Dad is in good health. After all, he is old and the business in the shop is busy. Sometimes Dad is too busy. I just hate that Xuan'er is a girl and can't help Dad." Xuan'er sighed, He lowered his head and murmured, "It would be great if my brother was here."

"Xuan'er, you always said that you have an older brother. Do you know where this older brother has gone? Why didn't you want to go home and help daddy?" Rong Lanxue asked in bewilderment.

"I don't know where my brother went. When I was born, I was weak. My brother was five years older than me. He always protected me and played with me, but my father didn't allow me to go out. My brother always came secretly and asked Should I go out to look at the stars? I was young at the time and pestered my brother to take me out. Later, when I became seriously ill, my father scolded my brother angrily. In a fit of anger, my brother ran away from home. Since then Didn't come back." When Xuan'er said this, tears were already falling in her eyes.

Rong Lanxue patted Xuan'er's weak back lightly, comforting her softly.

Xuan'er said again: "I've always felt very guilty, my brother left home because of me."

"I think my brother was impulsive because he was young. Now that he is older, he will definitely reflect on his actions. Probably, your brother will come home soon." Rong Lanxue comforted.

"Brother won't come back. I heard rumors from the boys at home that my brother would rather be a boy in someone else's shop than come back to the Hu Mansion." Xuan'er wiped away tears, "Brother always thinks that Daddy I don't like him because his mother is not the main wife."

"Oh?" Rong Lanxue was stunned for a moment, "That's it?"

"My brother's mother is my second aunt." Xuan'er said: "My mother has been barren, so I persuaded my father to marry a companion of my mother, and later gave birth to my brother. The companion said that he did not expect I just hope that this son can be adopted to my mother, so that the son will have a good reputation in the future. My mother was very hesitant at the time, thinking that the son would definitely follow the biological mother. So she committed suicide by drinking poison in her room, my mother felt very guilty, but she treated my elder brother as her own son, and after giving birth to me, my mother went to the Buddhist hall, ate fast and recited Buddha until she died of illness."

Rong Lanxue listened, sighed for a while, nodded and said: "Poor parents in the world, the old lady is also kind-hearted, Xuan'er, they are all good people, I think the godfather is also for your brother's good, he should Do understand."

"I hope my brother can understand that my father is also old now. By the way, Sister Lan, it will be my father's [-]th birthday next month. My sister must come here."

"Godfather, of course I want to come over." Rong Lanxue nodded heavily, and asked again: "What's the name of this brother, your brother-in-law often does business outside, I'll ask your brother-in-law to watch more, see if you can Can't find any news about this brother."

Xuan'er nodded, "Then please brother-in-law, my brother is called Hu Qiaowen."

"Hu Qiaowen?" Rong Lanxue was stunned for a moment, looked at Lianxiang and said, "Is this name familiar?"

"In the Lin's shoe store, the shopkeeper's name is Qiao Wen." Lianxiang replied.

"Qiao Wen? Are they really related, but last time Qiao Wen came, godfather didn't respond?" Rong Lanxue frowned.

"Yeah, this is also strange." Lianxiang shook her head, "Probably not the same person, let's ask my uncle to pay more attention."

Xuan'er smiled again: "Okay, let's not talk about this, my sister came this time, she must have a meal before she can go back, last time, I didn't talk to my sister enough, she left, and it was also Xuan'er's body." No, I can't spend more time with my sister."

"Sister, I came today. Our sister also said that she has heard about Sister Xuan'er's name for a long time and has always wanted to meet her. If Sister Xuan'er's health recovers, she will invite Sister Xuan'er to live in our residence for a while. When I come , still worrying about my sister's health, now that I'm well, let's eat, and my sister will go back with me to stay for a few more days."

Xuan'er was about to jump up when she was happy, then sat down suddenly, and said in embarrassment: "There are few people in the mansion. If I go back, there will be only one person when Daddy comes back. I'm afraid Daddy will be lonely."

Rong Lanxue nodded, "Sister is right, so how about asking daddy to go to the Zongfu as well. After I got married, my godfather hasn't been there yet."

What Xuan'er wanted to say, thinking about Rong Lanxue's words also made sense, so she said happily: "Sister is really thoughtful, Sister Shaoyao, you go and order the kitchen to serve dinner, and we will go over after dinner."

Shao Yao smiled slightly, and without further words, went directly to the kitchen to give instructions.

Just as Rong Lanxue got into the sedan chair, the flustered feeling from just now surged up again. She stamped her feet hastily, and the bearer carefully put her down. Lianxiang stepped forward and said, "Miss, what's wrong?"

"I still feel flustered at this moment. It feels like something happened." Rong Lanxue said with a flushed face while stroking her beating heart.

"Miss, did you catch the cold?" Lianxiang stepped forward and lightly touched Rong Lanxue's forehead, it was cold and there was no sign of fever.But when she touched Rong Lanxue's face, she felt scorching hot, she couldn't help shaking her head and said: "Miss, please come down and rest for a while, just ask a doctor to come and have a look."

"It's okay, let's talk about it when we get back to the mansion, I'm feeling better now." Rong Lanxue was afraid of spoiling Xuan'er's interest, she said hastily, and sat down in the sedan chair again, suppressing the discomfort in her heart.

Just walking halfway, the sedan chair stopped suddenly. Rong Lanxue felt a little drowsy at the moment. She forced herself to lift the curtain and said, "Lianxiang, what happened?"

Lianxiang hurried forward, frowned slightly and said: "Ji Qing came here in a hurry, I don't know what happened?" While speaking, Ji Qing had already run to the sedan chair, and couldn't care less about saluting, and shouted loudly: "Young Mistress, No, something happened."

"Ah!" Rong Lanxue exclaimed, thinking that several big men couldn't protect Zong Yunlong. Could it be that he was hurt more this time than before!As soon as her eyes went dark, she was about to faint.Lianxiang hurried forward, grabbed Rong Lanxue, and called out anxiously: "Miss, miss..."

Xuan'er was behind, not knowing what had happened, so she hurriedly told Shao to come over and have a look. Hearing that Rong Lanxue had passed out, Xuan'er was startled and panicked, regardless of the sedan chair parked on the road, she hurriedly opened the sedan chair curtain, Walking over, she shouted loudly: "Sister, what's the matter, sister, wake up quickly..."

Rong Lanxue let out an "hey" and woke up leisurely, her eyes glazed over, and she asked weakly: "Jiqing, young master, what happened to young master?"

"It's not the young master, it's the eldest lady." Ji Qing said hastily.

Only then did Rong Lanxue regain her composure, sat down, and asked urgently: "Isn't the eldest lady in the mansion? What happened?"

"After lunch, the eldest lady said she wanted to rest for a while. Before she could lie down, the eldest lady suddenly yelled out in pain, and spit out a mouthful of black blood. She passed out. Taohua and Meihua also panicked at that time. Aunt Lao Cheng smelled the stench of black blood and thought she was poisoned, so she immediately gave the eldest lady a detoxification pill, and hurriedly invited the best doctor in our city to come over to have a look, and she was indeed poisoned."

"Poisoned!" Rong Lanxue was shocked, and Ji Qing nodded, "The doctor said that fortunately, the poison was not used much, otherwise I don't know if the young miss is still alive!"

Rong Lanxue's face suddenly turned ashen and ugly, and she said fiercely: "Get up the sedan chair, and go home quickly!"

Xuan'er was behind, and for a while, she didn't know whether to follow or return. At this time, Lianxiang came over and said: "Miss Xuan'er, our lady said that there will be chaos in the house at this moment, please ask Miss Xuan'er to go back to the house first, and wait After the matter is settled, I will come to the door and apologize to Miss Xuan'er. Please don't blame Miss Xuan'er."

Xuan'er smiled and said: "Sister, this is too polite, tell sister, don't worry, if you have anything to do, just call me and Daddy, we are a family, don't talk about such a status."

Lianxiang nodded, stood up and gave a salute to Xuan'er, and hurried to chase after her young lady.Here Shao Yao said softly: "Miss, let's go home."

Xuan'er thought for a while, and said: "It's hard to come out, let's go to the shop to pick up Dad first, I thought, Sister Lan's matter is extremely complicated, tell Dad, maybe there is a good way to deal with it."

Shao Yao nodded, supported the sedan chair, and walked towards the silk and satin village of the Hu family.

As soon as the sedan chair reached the gate of the mansion, several yamen servants escorted a woman out of it, Lianxiang hurried back to Rong Lanxue, "Miss, the officials sent Qin Mama away."

Rong Lanxue was furious, "Why do you say it was Qin Mama's poison? Who reported it!"

Ji Qing hurriedly stepped forward, took out a few pieces of silver and stuffed them into the hands of the officers, and said with a smile: "Brothers, it's been a hard journey, go in and have a cup of tea before leaving."

Those officers also knew Ji Qing, and seeing his politeness, they quickly cupped their hands and said, "Excuse me, your supervisor, there is an older brother in your mansion who went to report to the officer and named him as the aunt who poisoned the family. Miss, the Eldest Master dare not neglect, and immediately ordered us to come here and take this aunt away for interrogation."

"Oh?" Ji Qing wondered: "I didn't tell anyone to go to the yamen? Brothers, please come in and sit down. After my young mistress has asked this aunt, I will hand it over to the brothers. Be more accommodating." .” As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of silver and stuffed them into the hands of the officials.

The officials did not dare to neglect because of the great business of the Zongfu family. Now that the supervisor is so generous, they glanced at each other, nodded and said: "It is also your supervisor who spoke, let's go in and wait. Please hurry up, young lady." Asking questions, we have to go back and answer the old man."

Ji Qing repeatedly agreed, and invited those messengers to drink tea in the front hall, and ordered the servants to take good care of them.Taking Qin's mother by himself, he hurried to the backyard.

Rong Lanxue didn't care about rest at this time, and hurried to the Ziwei courtyard, and saw Zong Ruchun lying there with a paper-like complexion, and there was a hint of blackness in her eyebrows, peach blossoms, plum blossoms saw her coming, Immediately stepped forward and knelt down, crying: "Young mistress must make the decision for the young lady."

Rong Lanxue nodded, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I will never let this poisoner go, I will definitely find her out and send her to the government to avenge the eldest lady!"

Ji Qing brought Qin's mother to the door, and he told Qin's mother to wait outside the door, and while going in, he replied softly: "Young mistress, I brought Qin's mother back, please hurry up and ask questions, the officials are still here Waiting to take someone back there."

"Ask who made the report!" Rong Lanxue yelled angrily in a low voice.

"It's a man." Ji Qing wondered, "Who is this man? The officer himself didn't know for sure. He only said that this man pointed out that Mother Qin was the one who poisoned him!"
