The next day, Concubine Xiao rubbed her sore head, feeling confused.
"Miss, you're finally awake." Hongxiu was holding a bowl of steaming vegetable porridge, Xiao Yu opened her eyes and woke up a little.
"Miss, this is the porridge I just made, please use some."
Concubine Xiao stretched out her hand to take it, and after eating a bowl of porridge, she finally felt much more comfortable in her stomach.
Some voices came from next to her ears, and Miss Xiao frowned, "What's wrong?"
"It's Miss Tang from the Wind Chime Academy. She fell ill last night, and Young Master Mo has been waiting for her all night."
When Hongxiu spoke, there was some suspicion in her tone, and Xiao Concubine raised her eyebrows, "Just say what you have."
"When I was waiting for Miss last night, I saw Miss Tang walking outside the Cool Breeze Pavilion. Later, Miss was sent back by Young Master Mo, and within half an hour, she fell ill there."
It was hard for Hongxiu to believe that this was a coincidence.
"Shen Mo sent me back last night?" Concubine Xiao pursed her lips tightly, her mind spinning rapidly, "I know about this."
Concubine Xiao lifted the quilt and got down to put on her clothes, with a smile on her lips, "Under the same roof, look up and look down, let's go and have a look."
"yes."
Xiao Concubine turned around with her red sleeves and went to the wind chime courtyard next door. As soon as she entered the courtyard, there was a strong smell of herbs, which made people frown.
"What are you doing here?" Ning Elegy blocked the door, and rolled his eyes at Xiao Concubine, "It must be very gloating, to be so vicious at such a young age, hmph!"
Xiao Concubine said with a cold face, "Ning Elegy, don't push yourself too hard, I'm not here to see you, why are you everywhere!"
Ning Elegy is a mad dog, he will hold on to Xiao Concubine tightly, so Xiao Concubine will not be polite to her.
Ning Elegy sneered, "Hmph, I want to see how stubborn you can be."
"enough!"
A deep voice came, and Shen Mo's slender figure stepped forward, Ning Elegy immediately became afraid to make a sound, it could be seen that Ning Elegy was very afraid of Shen Mo.
Shen Mo squinted at Xiao Concubine, "What are you doing here?"
"I heard that Miss Tang is ill, so I'll come and see it." Miss Xiao said.
"Where is the weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chicken?" Ning Yange sneered contemptuously.
Concubine Xiao frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.
"Go back, Zhaoqing doesn't want to see you for the time being." Shen Mo's face was indifferent, and there was a bit of surprise and confusion deep in his eyes.
"Big cousin, she was the one who caused sister Qing to suffer from old physical illnesses, and she is still in a coma, why are you still protecting her?"
Ning Elegy was somewhat displeased, and defended Tang Zhaoqing.
Concubine Xiao was even more puzzled, "What does Miss Tang's discomfort have to do with me?"
"Hmph, it's really pretending, you don't have to pretend to be innocent here!" Ning Yange pointed at Xiao Concubine's nose and scolded, "What's the matter with the cold beard grass on your body?"
"Elegy!" Shen Mo frowned and said coldly, "You don't need to interrupt this matter, you can go back first."
"Don't go, make your words clear!" Xiao Yu didn't want to be wronged, so she grabbed Ning Elegy with a cool look in her eyes.
"Just say that I'm afraid you won't succeed!" Ning Elegy went all out, "The clothes you are wearing are soaked in cold beard grass. Cold beard grass may be harmless to others, but it is fatal to Sister Qing. It's just a coincidence that you I have to go to Yaowang Valley every day, and half of the cold beard grass in Yaowang Valley happens to be missing. How do you explain it? If you didn’t drink peach blossom drunk yesterday and caused the smell of cold beard grass, who would have discovered your vicious thoughts? "
"Xiao Jiu, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You will use any means to achieve your goals. No wonder you had an ambiguous relationship with your second cousin and your third cousin before. It didn't work out. So it turned out that you were playing with your eldest cousin!"
Ning Elegy said mockingly, "Sister Qing almost died this time, the Tang family will never let you go, let me see who can protect you!"
"You're talking nonsense, my lady is not that kind of person, my lady is a dignified and right-handed daughter, as long as my lady nods, how many lookouts will come to propose marriage, what kind of status do you want?"
Hongxiu was very angry and did not allow anyone to slander Concubine Xiao.
"The right minister's daughter?" Ning Elegy laughed loudly, "I think you are confused, you dare to say anything, it's really shameless, the capital is only a hundred miles away from here, and you can go back and forth once in half a month if you go fast. When the time exposed the lie, how should it end?"
"You!" Hongxiu choked, this person is unreasonable at all!
"Hongxiu!" Xiao Concubine reprimanded lightly, Hongxiu stepped aside and lowered her head.
Ning Elegy still had a provocative look on his face, Shen Mo gradually went down the steps, and squinted at Xiao Yu, "It seems that you didn't listen to what you said that day, your arrogant and arrogant temperament really hasn't improved at all, Sooner or later you will kill yourself!"
Concubine Xiao snorted coldly, "Then you don't need to worry about the young master."
Shen Mo frowned and stared at Xiao Concubine, like a hedgehog whose hair has exploded, without the slightest repentance.
"Grandmother!" Ning Elegy's eyes lit up, and he rushed over quickly.
Mrs. Shen glanced at Concubine Xiao, she was a little bit unkind in the past, "You are Xiao Jiu?"
Xiao Yu nodded, "Exactly."
"What a little girl who doesn't know etiquette. She didn't even have etiquette when she met me. Is this what your parents taught you?"
It was the first time Mrs. Shen saw Concubine Xiao, although she was pretty like a doll, she couldn't like her from the bottom of her heart.
"Grandmother, she was the one who caused sister Qing to get sick and almost lost her life. It is dangerous for such a vicious woman to stay in the villa." Ning Elegy also complained about Lu Liyuan's partiality, but because of Shen Mo's presence, he did not dare to bring it up. .
"Miss Ning, it's not like this to decide the case without evidence. It's not like a mad dog chasing and biting to convict."
Xiao Concubine squinted at Ning Elegy, Ning Elegy's face turned pale for a while.
"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth!" Mrs. Shen snorted heavily, "Who else can there be except you, you have seen so many troubles happening in the villa in the future?"
"Mother!" Lu Liyuan came over after hearing the news, and after learning about the whole story on the way, she hurried over to protect Concubine Xiao.
Followed by Shen Yi and Shen Feng, both stood behind Xiao Concubine.
"This matter must be a misunderstanding. Xiaojiu and Miss Tang have no conflict of interest. Why do you want to harm Miss Tang?"
Shen Yi couldn't help stepping forward to defend Xiao Concubine, seeing Ning Elegy's eyes becoming more and more disgusted, Ning Elegy stomped his feet and said angrily.
"It's not that she has a big mind and wants to occupy the eldest cousin. In the future, the eldest cousin will inherit the villa. Doesn't she just want to act first?"
"Presumptuous! Is it your turn to say these words?" Lu Liyuan scolded angrily, Ning Elegy turned pale all of a sudden, and pouted unwillingly, "Auntie just doesn't like sister Qing, so she deliberately protects Xiao Jiu!"
"You!" Lu Liyuan choked.
Mrs. Shen glared at Lu Liyuan fiercely, "I used to think you were a good person, but I dared to show my face to the elegy before I was dead, hum! Human hearts are made of meat, why are you so cruel!"
Lu Liyuan's face turned blue with anger, and she could not refute Mrs. Shen's words, otherwise it would be unfilial.
"Grandmother, the most important thing right now is that Miss Tang is fine, and then thoroughly investigate this matter."
Shen Yi firmly believed that Xiao Concubine would not do this, Lu Liyuan and Shen Feng also nodded in agreement.
Concubine Xiao couldn't help but her eyes turned red, a warm current flowed through her heart, and a friendly "Xiao Jiu" from Miss Tang was enough.
She must find out about this matter!
"Just protect it, sooner or later the villa will be defeated by you!" Mrs. Shen looked at these people displeased, and then pointed to Xiao Concubine, "How do you explain the cold beard grass on your body?"
Before he could speak, there was movement in the room, and then Yu'er helped the weak Tang Zhaoqing out.
"Old lady, it's Zhaoqing's who has nothing to do with Sister Xiao. Sister Xiao didn't know the harm of cold beard grass to Zhaoqing when she first came here. Maybe it was unintentional. Now Zhaoqing is fine."
As Tang Zhaoqing covered his mouth and coughed lightly, his small face was as pale as paper, and his frail body seemed to be about to collapse in the next moment. He became more and more pitiful, and his words were also very magnanimous. He defended Miss Xiao everywhere but did not With a look of emotion, he pinned the crime on Xiao Concubine's head.
"Sister Qing, why are you still helping Xiao Jiu to speak? She must have done it on purpose. You have been in the villa for so long who doesn't know about the cold beard grass. You have always avoided it carefully." Ning Elegy looked angry. With her indisputable appearance, she couldn't help standing up to defend Tang Zhaoqing, "Besides, how can a woman soak cold beard grass on her clothes? Isn't this clearly plotting against sister Qing?"
"Sister Elegy, maybe it's just a coincidence." Tang Zhaoqing smiled apologetically at Concubine Xiao after speaking, "It's because of my body, and it has nothing to do with you. Instead, it caused my sister to be misunderstood."
Tang Zhaoqing bowed down to apologize to Concubine Xiao, her frail body was about to collapse in an instant, but fortunately Shen Mo quickly held her up.
"Your body is not stable yet, and the properties of the medicine have not been completely removed. Go out and rest first. You don't have to worry about this matter. I will give you justice."
Shen Mo's tone was light but could not be ignored.
