As the day of the Fourth Master Nangong Cheng's big day approached, the Nangong Mansion became increasingly busy.
As the presiding officer of the Nangong family, Mrs. Zhao is extremely busy. This Nangong Cheng's marriage is the first big happy event for the Nangong family after returning to the capital. It has to be done in a lively manner, without any mistakes.
As a last resort, Mrs. Zhao thought of her two younger siblings, and called Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Huang to her Jinhua Courtyard.
After sitting down, Mrs. Zhao rubbed her forehead, couldn't hide her tiredness and anxiety, and said: "Second sibling, third sibling, I called you here today for the fourth brother's wedding, and it's only been a month. There are too many, I am really too busy, so I can only ask my two brothers and sisters to help me a little bit."
Lin's and Huang's were not surprised by this, after all, this was a major event in the Nangong Mansion, so they naturally agreed to it.
"Then I will trouble the two younger siblings." Mrs. Zhao nodded and said, "Second younger sibling, I want to leave the shopping to you."
"Sister-in-law, I..." Mrs. Lin just said a few words, and suddenly her body shook slightly, and she raised her hand to rest her forehead.
"Second sibling..."
As soon as Mrs. Zhao's voice fell, she saw Mrs. Lin had collapsed limply, and Ruyi who was beside her was struggling to support her, and shouted nervously: "Second madam!"
For a moment, the Jinhua Courtyard was in chaos.
Nangong Yue heard the news that Mrs. Lin had fainted after leaving her boudoir school, and rushed to Qianyun Courtyard in a hurry.
"mother!"
Panting, Nangong Yue rushed into Lin's boudoir.
At this time, Mrs. Lin had already woken up. Just as Dr. Wang felt her pulse, Mammy Liu asked anxiously, "Dr. Wang, what's wrong with the Second Madam?"
Dr. Wang stroked the beard on his chin, and said: "Nurse Liu, don't worry, the second lady probably passed out because she didn't sleep well recently and was too tired. As long as she has a good rest for a few days, it will be fine. Later Son, I will prescribe a tonic prescription for the second lady."
Nanny Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and after chanting "Amitabha", she personally sent Dr. Wang out.
Nangong Yue sat beside Lin's couch, put her hand on Lin's wrist worriedly, and checked her pulse.
Seeing the sweat on her face, Mrs. Lin picked up the handkerchief and wiped her forehead, and said with a smile: "Sister Yue, don't worry, didn't Dr. Wang already say that I'm fine?"
Nangong Yue smiled at her, calmed down, and carefully felt the pulse under her fingers. Mother's pulse is very normal... It's really just a lack of energy, there is no other problem at all.
Nangong Yue withdrew her hand, still a little worried, and asked again: "Mother, have you not slept well these days?"
Mrs. Lin patted Nangong Yue's hand and said indifferently, "Maybe it's because of the hot and stuffy weather these past few days. I always have trouble sleeping at night. It's just a moment of fainting. Didn't Doctor Wang just say that I'm fine?" Is it yours?" Seeing her daughter caring so much for her, Lin's heart warmed.
Ruyi also said on the side: "Third Miss, don't worry, the servant will persuade the Second Madam to rest well."
It should be just a temporary exhaustion... Nangong Yue thought about it, and planned to give Lin a prescription to calm her nerves so that she could sleep better at night.
Nangong Yue felt relieved, and softly told Lin: "Mother, then you should have a good rest in the afternoon, lest you get sick from being really tired."
Lin replied with a smile: "Yes, yes. I'll be fine when I wake up after a night of sleep."
Nangong Yue asked Yimei to go back to her room to get some homemade soothing incense, lighted it herself, and then helped Lin to sleep.
Lin fell asleep for two full hours, and when she woke up, she felt refreshed and her spirits improved a lot, so she sent someone to bring some snacks and asked Ruyi to send them to Jinhua Courtyard to thank Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao asked Ruyi who came to deliver the snacks carefully, and she was relieved to learn that Mrs. Lin was just out of spirits because she didn't sleep well. Nangong Cheng's big wedding was coming, and she was already too busy. If it falls, the house will be in chaos. Mrs. Zhao ordered someone to prepare a gift in return, and asked Ruyi to bring it over, and told Mrs. Lin to take a good rest.
After resting for two days, Mrs. Lin felt that she was well, so she took the initiative to take over the shopping in the mansion from Mrs. Zhao.
This has been busy for several days. Every afternoon, Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Huang will check all the matters of the wedding in the small flower hall, from the welcoming team, the setting of the auditorium, the menu, seats of the wedding banquet, and the guests invited to the banquet. From the list... to the layout of the new house, everything is detailed, and nothing can go wrong.
I don't know if it is because Su Qingping has already climbed a high branch, and her foot ban was lifted with Su Shi's acquiescence, and Su Shi even sent her to Zhao Shi to help. housekeeper.
As soon as Mrs. Zhao saw Su Qingping, her heart felt tight. She had already heard about her sister Cheng's performance in the Princess Yuncheng's mansion, and it could be said to be perfect. If it wasn't for this Su Qingping With such a scandal, how could Sister Cheng return home early in despair...
"Big cousin, I wonder if Ping'er can help my cousin?" Su Qing Ping was blessed, and she was also full of reluctance in her heart. She didn't expect that she would be forced to help Nangong Cheng's wedding. There is no reason to say no yet.
"Cousin Ping," Zhao said with a smirk, and took out a list from a sandalwood box next to him, "This is the list of guests for the banquet on the wedding day. Let's see if there are any omissions." In fact, Mrs. Zhao had asked Nanny Ying to correct her a long time ago, and now she just randomly assigns Su Qingping any work for nothing.
Su Qingping's face froze for a moment, she knew that it was Zhao who was dismissing her. Although she didn't want to contribute to Nangong Cheng's marriage, but seeing that Mrs. Zhao didn't take herself seriously, she felt aggrieved, but she had nothing to do with Mrs. Zhao, so she could only stiffly take the list and put it aside.
Mrs. Huang looked at Su Qingping coldly, feeling depressed for a while. This Su Qingping is really a villain. She hasn't done anything good since she came to the mansion, and now she even has to hurt her daughter's reputation. It's really hateful! If it wasn't for Su's scruples, she would have pulled Su Qing away Ping's hair, and gave her a few severe shaves, let's see if this coquettish fox dares to make trouble again!
As for Lin, he would not say anything. In her heart, she hoped that Su Qingping, the big Buddha, would be sent out of the house as soon as possible, so as not to hurt sister Yue's reputation.
The three wives got busy, and none of them gave Su Qingping an extra look.
While flipping through the account book, Mrs. Lin asked the nurse in charge below: "For Wang Cheng's family, are the dragon, phoenix and red candles ready?"
Wang Chengjia was very puzzled, so he replied respectfully: "Second madam, the dragon, phoenix, and red candles are ready!" After a pause, she couldn't help saying softly, "Second madam, about the red candle, you have just prepared it!" Just asked!"
"Really?" Lin was taken aback, and smiled embarrassedly, "Look at my memory! Maybe it's because the weather is too hot, and I tend to forget things recently!"
Wang Cheng's family naturally did not dare to blame the master, and could only say: "Second madam should also pay attention to her body."
"Yes, the second younger brother and sister." Mrs. Zhao said with some concern when she thought of Mrs. Lin fainting a few days ago, "If you are not feeling well, go back and rest first."
Su Qingping, who was on the side, also noticed their conversation, and couldn't help but look back at Lin. She was almost sure that Lin's reaction must be because her medicine had taken effect! During this time, Su Qingping's heartstrings have been constantly She was tense, but today she suddenly got this good news, she relaxed all of a sudden, with a bit of joy in the corners of her eyes and brows.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. It's better to pay the bill first, and then I'll go back." Lin said with a gentle smile, "I can't let my sister-in-law bother to clean up for me."
"Alright then." Mrs. Zhao responded, and said, "Then younger siblings, don't force yourself too much."
"Yes. Sister-in-law."
As Lin spoke, she picked up the account book again, and at this moment, she suddenly felt a strong dizziness, and at that moment, it was as if the world had turned upside down. Lin clutched her forehead, her limbs were a little weak, and her back was covered with cold sweat.
Yan Niang, who was serving at the side, saw what was wrong with her, and hurriedly called out worriedly: "Second madam."
"fine… "
"Second brother and sister." Mrs. Zhao also noticed, and asked the servant girl to bring her a cup of hot tea. After watching her drink a few sips, she said, "You should go back to your room. I will leave the matter here to me and you for the time being." Three siblings will do."
Lin was really dizzy, so she stopped insisting, stood up with the support of Yanniang and Ruyi, and said: "Then I will take my leave first."
Mrs. Zhao nodded, and said to Yan Niang: "Remember to go back and ask your second wife for a doctor."
"Yes. Madam."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Seeing Lin's back going away, Su Qingping couldn't help but be ecstatic in her heart, and secretly prayed that time would pass faster, faster...
At this time, a little servant girl walked in quickly, blessed her body and said: "Eldest madam, third madam, cousin girl, the old madam sent slaves to report the news, saying that Mrs. Liu and Miss Su from the Su family are here!"
"What?!" Su Qingping's face changed suddenly, and she almost stood up without losing her composure.
Her reaction was so excited that everyone in the flower hall looked over in unison.
Su Qingping hurriedly collected the expression on her face, she tried to calm down and asked, "Are you talking about my mother and second sister?"
"Yes, Miss Su Biao." The little servant girl replied respectfully, "The old madam asked you, as well as the eldest madam and the second madam, to go to Rong'an hall to recognize relatives."
Su Qingping's face turned blue. She didn't expect her stepmother Liu Shi and her daughter Su Qingrong, who had always been at odds with her, to come to the capital! How could it be? What are they doing here
A thought flashed through Su Qingping's mind, and she immediately denied it to herself: Impossible! They probably don't know what happened in Princess Yuncheng's mansion. It must be for some other reason...
Zhao stood up and said, "Third siblings, cousin Ping, let's go there together."
"Yes. Sister-in-law." Mrs. Huang nodded. She glanced at Su Qingping, who was a little lost, and said with a half-smile, "Cousin Su, why, your mother is here, you don't seem very happy?"
Although she is a stepmother, she is also Su Qingping's mother in name. Since ancient times, her filial piety has been greater than the sky. No matter what Su Qingping thinks in her heart, she dares to show the slightest bit of inappropriateness on her face. She shook her head quickly and said: "Ping'er was just a little surprised, mother and second sister are here, and it's too late for Ping'er to be happy."
Mrs. Huang glanced at her, said with a sneer, "Then come with us to meet your mother and second sister."
Su Qingping tried her best to look happy and said, "Yes. Ping'er also wants to visit her mother earlier."
While talking, the three of them walked towards Rong'an Hall with their maidservants.
Along the way, Su Qingping remained silent, looking preoccupied.
When they arrived at Rong'an Hall, the four girls from the Nangong family and Nangong Hao had already arrived. Except for a few masters who were not in the mansion, only Mrs. Lin and Nangong Sheng who had gone to the Imperial College to study were missing.
Mrs. Liu and Su Qingrong have already taken their seats. Mrs. Liu, who is less than 30 years old, has a slim figure and long ink-like hair combed into a flowing cloud bun which is popular nowadays, and a gold-plated butterfly inlaid with treasures is inserted. Silver hairpin, a pair of peach blossom eyes slightly raised, exuding an indescribable amorous feelings, more than the teenage girl's unique charm of young women.
Su Qingrong next to Mrs. Liu was thirteen years old, with a beautiful nose and red lips, and she was five or six points similar in appearance to Mrs. Liu. She combed a double-ringed bun, pinned a pair of gold-encrusted begonia butterflies to cover her temples, and was wearing a bright red skirt embroidered with dark patterns, with a silver border on the edge, which was quite eye-catching.
"Mother!" Su Qingping threw herself under Liu's skirt in surprise, "Ping'er has missed her mother and sister very much since she left home."
"Sister Ping," Liu's reaction was not bad, he hugged Su Qingping with his backhand, and his singing and writing were excellent, "You have been away from home for more than a year. As a mother, I miss you every day, and I don't think about eating and drinking. Until you finally feel relieved."
Su Qingrong did not fall behind, stepped forward, and wept together with the two: "Sister, sister finally sees sister."
Seeing the loving mother and filial piety of the three of them, Su was very pleased.
After Mrs. Xuanping Hou left the mansion, Su wrote a letter to her younger brother, asking him what he thought about the marriage. She also thought that the younger brother's reply seemed a little slow, but she didn't expect the younger brother to ask his sister-in-law to do it in person. Come, it seems that he is quite satisfied with this marriage.
Thinking of this, Su's heart was settled, and he said with a smile: "Siblings, you mother and daughter are finally reunited, you should laugh."
Mrs. Liu let go of Su Qingping, took the handkerchief handed over by her personal servant girl, pretended to wipe away her tears, and said, "Eldest sister is right, I really made you laugh."
"They are all from my own family, so why be so polite." Su Shi said kindly, like a most reasonable old lady, and then, she introduced to Zhao Shi and Huang Shi first, "This is your aunt Liu Shi There is Sister Ping's younger sister, Sister Rong."
"Aunt, Cousin Rong." Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Huang greeted them politely.
The juniors of the Nangong family also stepped forward to salute, and shouted: "Uncle, Grandma, Cousin Rong!"
Mrs. Liu couldn't help being heartbroken, and made a gesture to the maid who was close to her, and the maid immediately took out a few purses, and Mrs. Liu gave each junior a meeting gift with a smile on her face: "This is a little kindness from my uncle and grandma. dislike."
Nangong Cheng and the others took the purse, bent their knees and said, "Thank you, uncle and grandma!"
Only then did everyone sit down again. At this time, Dong'er, the eldest maid of the Su Clan, came forward and said: "Old Furen, the rooms for Uncle Madam and Cousin have been prepared."
Mrs. Su smiled and said to Mrs. Liu: "Sisters and sisters, you and Sister Rong have been exhausted and exhausted. Hurry up and settle down in the wing room and have a good rest."
Naturally, Liu Shi and Su Qingrong were disrespectful, they stood up and wished her well, and then they heard Liu Shi say: "Then I would like to thank my aunt."
Su Shi asked Dong'er to take them to the wing room. Su Qingping was Liu Shi's daughter in name, so she couldn't leave alone, so she had to retreat with Liu Shi and Su Qingrong. After Rong'an Hall, he restrained himself by half.
Dong'er led them all the way to the guest room in the west wing, where Mrs. Liu's nanny, Nanny Ye, had already tidied things up.
"See you, big girl!" Ye Momo saluted Su Qingping with a smile. She was in her fifties and looked fat and white, like a Maitreya Buddha. But Su Qingping didn't dare to underestimate this person. Nanny Ye often helps her stepmother Liu to manage the affairs of the mansion, she is quite capable.
After the mother and daughter entered the wing room, Mrs. Liu sat down with the support of her daughter Su Qingrong, and then said with a smile on her face: "Sister Ping is really very lucky to have such a good marriage. From now on, when you become Mrs. Hou, you should support your sister well!"
Su Qingping was taken aback, even if she didn't want to admit it anymore, she clearly realized Liu's intention for coming here!
Sure enough, it was for the matter of the Xuanping Hou Mansion!
Undoubtedly, it was my aunt who wrote to my father, what should I do now... what should I do?! Su Qingping couldn't help but feel confused.
Su Qingping relied on her father to stay away from the capital, and as an aunt, Su could help her, but she had no right to make decisions about her marriage. She could at least delay it for a while, as long as it was delayed until Lin became ill, and she could With the help of a fortune teller, it is said that there is a monster in the second room, and only her character can resolve it.
For the sake of her son, Mrs. Su will definitely let her enter the door of the second room as she wished, but now... Mrs. Lin's poison has just taken effect, and it will take a while before the poison is released! Mrs. Liu has just come to the capital now, and as her own His stepmother naturally has the right to decide her own marriage...
Why did my aunt write a letter to my father? Could it be that she couldn't wait to marry herself into the Xuanpinghou's mansion
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Mrs. Liu said with a sneer, "Why? Sister Ping hasn't climbed a high branch yet, so she looks down on your mother's family?"
"Mother, don't say that." Although Su Qingping was burning with anxiety, she could only say, "Daughter absolutely dare not think like that."
The coldness on Mrs. Liu's face remained undiminished, and she said with a sad sigh: "Hey, as the saying goes, it's hard to be a stepmother. Over the years, I also know that you have a lot of dissatisfaction with me. When you become a daughter-in-law in the future, you will know that I am a stepmother." trouble."
Su Qingping hurriedly said: "Mother is serious, my daughter has always only respected and grateful to her mother!"
"I hope so." Mrs. Liu replied coldly, and then waved her hand. Madam Ye immediately took out a letter, Mrs. Liu handed it to her and said, "This is what your father asked me to bring to you."
Su Qingping took the envelope respectfully and gracefully.
Seeing Su Qingping's flawless smiling face and decent etiquette, Mrs. Liu felt very displeased: She is also the niece of Mrs. Su, the old lady of the Nangong family. In all aspects, she far exceeds her own daughter Su Qingrong... Now, she has a better chance of marrying the son of the Hou family and becoming the wife of the son of the prince, but her daughter has nowhere to go!
Seeing her, Mrs. Liu was upset, and waved her hand casually to make her back away.
Su Qingping didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction, and after bowing her knees and saluting, she left the room.
Holding the envelope in Su Qingping's hand, she walked forward quickly, and Liu Rong behind her could hardly keep up.
Su Qingping knew that her father had always been indifferent to her, otherwise, he would not have let her live in Nangong Mansion for more than a year just because he wanted to climb up to Nangong Mansion. And since she arrived in the capital, her father never wrote a word to herself, even when she offended the Su family and was sent to Zhuangzi in the countryside, he ignored her.
But now, he had asked Liu Shi to bring her a letter so solemnly that Su Qingping could almost easily guess what the letter would be written in.
But there was still a glimmer of hope in my heart.
Hope it's not what I thought it would be.
hope…
Su Qingping returned to her yard, and immediately opened the letter as soon as she entered the room.
This letter was obviously as light as a feather, but Su Qingping felt that it was as heavy as a mountain.
Su Qingping took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and unfolded the letter...
Looking down word by word, Su Qingping's face became paler and paler, and finally turned pale.
After reading a letter, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and the letter slipped from her hand and fell lightly on the side of her skirt.
Every word and every word in the letter reappeared in her mind repeatedly, making her desperate.
In the letter, his father didn't ask about Su Qingping's health after falling into the water, but only expressed his satisfaction with Xuan Ping Hou Shizi, and was very happy that she could get such a marriage, and he didn't ask her thoughts at all.
"Boom!"
Su Qingping swept all the things on the table to the floor, and shouted hysterically: "They said it was for my own good, but which one of them really thought about me?! It's all fake, all fake!"
Liu Rong didn't even dare to vent his anger, for fear that Su Qingping would get angry with her.
"Even if I die, I won't do what you want!" Su Qingping screamed hoarsely, her heart was full of hatred.
But after venting her anger, Su Qingping became depressed again. Although she said so, she didn't have the courage to do so. She sat down on the bed as if she had exhausted her strength, and murmured: "What should I do... Obviously I only have my second cousin in my heart!" Su Qingping's heart was full of despair, she seemed to be really in a desperate situation!
what should she do
She doesn't want to marry anyone else, absolutely not!
While Su Qingping was losing her temper hysterically in the room, Nangong Yuezheng appeared in Qianyun Courtyard with an anxious expression on her face.
When recognizing her relatives in Rong'an Hall, Nangong Yue noticed that her mother, Mrs. Lin, was not there, and felt a little strange in her heart. After leaving Rong'an Hall, she couldn't wait to come to Qianyun Courtyard, and only then did she learn that Mrs. Lin almost fainted again.
"Mother!"
Seeing the anxiety on Nangong Yue's face, Mrs. Lin gave Liu Nanny a helpless look, and said, "Liu Nanny, I'm fine, so why do you tell Sister Yue to make her worry."
Mother Liu quickly defended herself and said, "Second Madam, if this old servant doesn't tell Third Miss, if Third Miss learns about it from someone else, she will probably be more worried and blame this old slave for not doing her best."
Naturally, Mrs. Lin didn't really blame Madam Liu. After smiling helplessly, she said to Nangong Yue: "Sister Yue, mother is really fine. It's just that she felt dizzy for a while."
Nangong Yue couldn't be as relaxed as Lin's. A few days ago, Lin's sudden fainting could be said to be due to poor sleep, so what about now
Six days have passed, and she has read Dr. Wang's prescription, and there is absolutely no problem with that prescription, and she also asked Mammy Liu to light soothing incense before her mother went to bed, plus her soothing soup, according to the logic, mother My dear should have recovered by now, but looking at my mother's current appearance, not only her eyes are dull, but also the whites of her eyes are a little yellow, even when talking to her, she will be a little absent-minded from time to time, and even the tips of her ears seem to be red Some are different.
Is it really just because you didn't sleep well
As a doctor, her intuition told Nangong Yue that there must be something wrong!
"Mother," Nangong Yue pulled up Lin's right wrist, "I'll check your pulse again."
Lin rarely said no to her daughter, so she agreed.
There is still no problem with the pulse condition, is it really just me worrying too much
Nangong Yue did not dare to take it lightly, and used the secret method passed down to her by her grandfather to diagnose Lin's pulse in detail... Time passed little by little, but Nangong Yue still did not move. Soon, but this time... Although she had doubts, Lin did not disturb Nangong Yue.
After a while, Nangong Yue finally put down her hand, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
Lin asked suspiciously: "Sister Yue, what's the matter? Is my pulse very strange?" In the past few days, after taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Wang, she slept a little better, although she occasionally woke up because of nightmares, But apart from feeling a little tired, there is nothing serious.
Seeing her daughter so dignified now, Lin suddenly became worried... Lin firmly believed in her daughter's medical skills.
"It's nothing." Nangong Yue's face relaxed, and she smiled comfortingly, "Mother, you've just been overworked recently! You should pay attention to rest in the future, or you will have serious problems!"
"I will." Lin let go of her hanging heart, showing a gentle smile, completely unaware of her daughter's abnormal state.
Nangong Yue took her arm and said: "Then mother, don't be too busy, and rest early today."
"Now?" Lin felt that her spirit was better, and there were still many things to be done.
"Yes, mother." Nangong Yue said coquettishly, "Didn't you just say that you would take a good rest?"
Faced with her daughter's acting like a baby, Lin had no choice but to respond, "Well, well, well." Nangong Yue waited for her to rest, and she didn't go back to her boudoir in Mozhuyuan until Mrs. Lin fell asleep.
Nangong Yue's noodles sank in an instant. Just now, in order to reassure Mrs. Lin, she lied...
Although her mother's pulse condition was only slightly wrong, Nangong Yue found out the problem very vigilantly. She didn't know where the wrongness came from, but her intuition told her that her mother might be poisoned! A poison that even she has never seen before!
Nangong Yue paced back and forth anxiously in the room, after a while, she called Que'er in, and said: "Go and check the whereabouts of the second madam these days, and come back and tell me everything in detail. "
"Yes, Miss San!" Que'er replied respectfully, and retreated again.
Nangong Yue said to herself, she can't panic at this time! Anything done will leave traces, and she will definitely be able to find clues!
In the evening, Que'er finally came back and reported to Nangong Yue carefully that Lin's schedule and itinerary these days are generally very regular, mainly concentrated in Qianyun Courtyard, Rong'an Hall, Black Bamboo Courtyard and Nangong Mu's outer courtyard. The four places in the study room are the same during this time...
Nangong Yue listened carefully, but did not find anything wrong. Her heart became agitated again, Lin's mentally weak appearance, abnormal pulse, yellow eye whites, and dark red ear tips... Tell her, there must be something strange in it!
Nangong Yue sat at the desk, biting her lower lip slightly, feeling more and more irritable.
Knowing that she would not be able to sleep tonight, Nangong Yue simply went to the study and moved out all her medical books, which almost filled half of the study - most of these medical books were given to her mother by her grandfather as a dowry, and now her mother Give it all to her.
Nangong Yue took the trouble to look through one volume after another...
She didn't know how many books she had read, but Nangong Yue's eyes suddenly froze, and she looked at a page in a certain travel book of her grandfather's, which recorded an ancient recipe of Xirong, and the content shocked Nangong Yue.
This is a mysterious poison from Xirong. People who take this poison only feel mentally weak at first, and ordinary doctors can't diagnose it by relying on ordinary pulse diagnosis methods. The travel notes also described some early symptoms of poisoning, the whites of the eyes turned yellow, the tips of the ears were dark red, insomnia all night, dizziness, and the symptoms of absence from time to time... It was clearly the same as Lin's performance, so Nangong Yue finally confirmed Lin's What is the poison in it.
Nangong Yue continued to look down, boom--, the anger in her heart was burning, and it became more and more intense...
According to my grandfather's records, although this kind of poison will not kill the poisoned person in a short period of time, when the poison becomes deeper and deeper, and gradually penetrates into the bone marrow, the poisoned person will show confusion, and finally appear like madness!
In the previous life, Lin's miserable old appearance when she went crazy, once again appeared in front of Nangong Yue--
Twenty-eight years old was supposed to be the brightest age of my mother, but she was aged by the nasty poison by dozens of years. Her once black hair became gray and dry, her skin was dark yellow and dull, and her lips were dark purple and chapped. , a pair of eyes, cloudy, empty, gray... She lost her sanity, and even more her dignity, and everything!
Until she read this travel note, she thought that in her previous life, her brother's death and her father's taking of a concubine, two blows connected, completely defeated her mother, and her mother fell into madness only after her mental breakdown.
Until now, Nangong Yue realized that she was wrong. Even if she was reborn, she was still too naive! I don't know that human heart is the most terrible poison in this world!
who is it
Who could have poisoned the mother
And who will be the beneficiary of mother poisoning
A name naturally came to her mind--
Su Qingping!
In her previous life, it was because her mother went mad to death that Su Qingping was able to get her right and finally became her stepmother!
It must be Su Qingping.
Although there is no evidence, Nangong Yue is 90% sure that the person behind the scenes is Su Qingping. She vaguely remembered that Su Qingping's biological mother's ancestral home should be in Fenglin, which was next to Xirong.
Su Qingping!
Nangong Yue clenched her fists, her anger spread, and her eyes were dyed with the flames of revenge...
It's no wonder that Su Qingping has been living in peace these days, and she naively thought that Su Qingping had resigned to her fate, but she didn't know that she had already plotted against her mother!
The question is, how did Su Qingping do it
I haven't heard that Su Qingping has been to Qianyun Courtyard recently, could it be that...
Nangong Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous light flashed, and she raised her voice, "Yimei, go and call Baihui."
"Yes, Miss San." Yimei answered at the door, and followed Baihui into the room like a ghost. She looked like an ordinary pretty girl, but if you looked closely, you would find that she was walking like a ghost. Lu Lai was silent, with a sense of lightness that was different from other maids.
"Third Miss!" She respectfully blessed her body.
"Baihui, go and find out if Miss Su Biao has had close contact with anyone in Qianyun Courtyard these days, or what unusual things she has done these few days!" Nangong Yue said to Baihui with a sullen face. .
"Yes!" Baihui replied in a deep voice, and retreated quietly.
The candles in the study burned all night, and she buried her head in the medical books left by her grandfather, carefully considering the way to detoxify...
Time passed slowly without her noticing, until the door of the study was knocked, Nangong Yue realized that the night had passed.
"Come in."
After staying up all night, Nangong Yue's voice was also a little hoarse.
The door of the study room opened, and Baihui walked in. Judging from her expression, she should have gained something.
Nangong Yue rubbed her forehead and said, "Go ahead."
"Yes." Baihui reported to Nangong Yue vigorously: "Since Fang's banquet, Miss Su Biao has stayed in her room every day except to greet the old lady. But the servant girl heard that the lady cleaning the backyard said: She once saw Miss Su Biao's maid, Liurong, talking affectionately with the eldest maid in the second lady's room, Ruyi, early in the morning... The servant girl thought to go back and forth with the third lady first, and then go to ask others after dawn."
"You don't need to ask." Nangong Yue said lightly.
Who in the second room didn't know that father and mother hated Su Qingping, and who would take the initiative to talk to her? Therefore, such activities would not be done in the open and above board, only in the early morning or at night.
Nangong Yue lowered her eyes slightly, she didn't expect that the person who betrayed her mother would be Ruyi!
In the previous life, shortly after Lin's death, Ruyi hanged herself and left a suicide note saying that she would be buried for Lin. Such a loyal servant moved me for a long time, and felt that there was still love in this world. Also because of this matter, although Nangong Yue once felt that Ruyi was a bit weird in this life, she didn't take it to heart. She has always trusted Ruyi, but she didn't think that it was her who betrayed Lin, whether it was in the previous life or in this life!
Now thinking of the good feelings she had for Ruyi, Nangong Yue just felt sick.
Looking at it now, Ruyi's death in her previous life was probably not that simple... The so-called "the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks", since Su Qingping succeeded in ascending to the position, then the next step is to kill people and silence her, and then through Lin's funeral, she will be killed. It pretends to be suicide!
A savage slave like Ruyi betrayed the Lin family today, and will betray Su Qingping in the future for profit. How could Su Qingping leave such a big hidden danger!
Nangong Yue clenched her fists fiercely, trembling slightly all over.
I only hate that she was young and ignorant of medical skills, but watched Su Qingping, a femme fatale, commit such a crime and live peacefully for so many years...
After a while, Nangong Yue gradually calmed down, and then ordered: "Baihui, continue to stare at Ruyi and Su Qingping, and tell me immediately if there is any movement." She wanted to see what Su Qingping wanted What are you doing!
This kind of dark loss, she will never suffer a second time!
"Yes, Miss San." Baihui replied, and then retreated respectfully.
Nangong Yue looked at the time, sorted out the medical books one by one, but left the study. She went back to her room to wash up and changed her clothes before going to Lin's Qianyun courtyard.
Seeing her daughter, Lin's face was full of joy, but when she saw the shadow under her daughter's eyes, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Sister Yue, did you stay up late to study last night?" Before Nangong Yue could answer, she He also admonished, "Learning is endless, don't rush for success! Sister Yue, you are still young, and you are still growing up. Be careful if you burn your body and eyes, the loss outweighs the gain!"
Nangong Yue listened quietly, Lin's caring heart only made her feel warm in her heart. It wasn't until Lin finished speaking that Nangong Yue said: "Mother, Yue'er won't do it anymore. However, if you want Yue'er to pay attention to your body, you should also pay attention to yourself. You are just too tired. Yue'er will give you some time." You can prescribe a prescription to recuperate and recuperate! If you still feel that you are still mentally weak, you might as well go back to your aunt, and it's the same to hand over the errands to others."
Lin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood. My daughter did stay up late to study last night, but what she read was not the homework required by her husband, but medical books. It is conceivable who she is reading medical books for!
Lin's eyes were slightly red, no wonder everyone said that her daughter is mother's caring little padded jacket! She moved her lips, wanted to speak, but choked up slightly, nodded Nangong Yue's forehead and said: "The house is so busy recently. , how can mother rest on her own. Don't worry, mother is fine, you see, after a good night's sleep, mother's energy is much better now. "
"Anyway, I don't care." Nangong Yue said coquettishly, "My mother must drink my prescription."
"Okay. Mother agrees to you." Lin said with a smile, "You are an eleven-year-old girl, and you still act like a baby with mother."
"Who told me it was my mother's daughter?" Nangong Yue put her arm around her, and smiled, while she quietly glanced at Ruyi who was waiting on the side, and she saw Ruyi standing in the Lin family with her eyebrows down. Behind her, however, Nangong Yue found that her eyes flickered, as if she was secretly listening to them.
Nangong Yue couldn't help sneering, thinking to herself: How blind was I in my previous life to think that Ruyi is a loyal servant...
What kind of temptation did Su Qingping give her to betray her mother so easily
