Just when the atmosphere in the hall was extremely cold, and everyone thought that Mo Shujun would get angry, they saw that the old lady's face stiffened for a moment, and then she smiled slightly: "You are not saying bad things about Hui Niang, my grandmother just now was worried about your safety. , You said those words in a moment of urgency, you..."
Perhaps she also knew that these words could not be rounded off, so Mo Shujun had no choice but to turn her head and look at Dong Hui, sighing softly: "That's all, I just said something a bit harsh, Hui Niang, don't pay attention."
Dong Hui has always been trained like a grandson by Mo Shujun. She rarely speaks softly and softly, and she never even thinks about apologizing.
Although Mo Shujun's words were not necessarily sincere, at least she showed her attitude. Dong Hui naturally waved her hands in fear and said she didn't dare.
This is the end of it.
But Zhou Ruyu and others' eyes almost popped out of their heads when they saw it, and they were filled with jealousy!
The old lady was usually so powerful that she would scold people into disgrace if they did not go her way. But this time she actually apologized to Dong Hui. Although she was still 'forced' by Shi Qingxue, her love was No more running.
Shi Qingxue also seemed to be very coaxable. She was still very angry with Mo Shujun just now. When she heard Mo Shujun apologize to Dong Hui, she immediately smiled and took the initiative to come to Mo Shujun to please her: "Grandma is so kind!"
Mo Shujun pointed at Shi Qingxue's forehead angrily, but she was reluctant to say a harsh word. Instead, she looked at Shi Qingxue worriedly and made sure she was not injured before saying with peace of mind: "You go out now. , They say they are looking for a miracle doctor to treat my sister, but they are looking for suffering for us old bones!"
This was half a joke and half an insult. Even if Mo Shujun clearly didn't believe that Shi Qingxue could really impress the miracle doctor to treat Shi Baoning, the juniors would feel dissatisfied just because of the deep concern in her words. It’s hard to say anything on the face.
Zhou Ruyu thought she was an elder, and at this time she also helped: "Qingxue, you are here for two days and one night, but you have worried your grandmother so much that she can't have any peace for a day. Although it is normal for juniors to be more playful, you still need to think more about it. , is it possible that you still want the whole family to be worried about you?"
"Look what the third aunt said, I went to seek medical treatment for my eldest sister, why did I become a naughty person? Are you sure that I will not be able to find a miracle doctor to treat my eldest sister?" Shi Qingxue should not answer Mo Shujun Shan just pushed back Zhou Ruyu's words neither softly nor hard.
Zhou Ruyu had a look on her face and stepped aside, not daring to say anything more.
At this time, Shi Baoyan stood up for her good aunt again and reprimanded Shi Qingxue: "What are you talking about? Auntie cares about you, but not only do you not appreciate it, you also contradict her with words. All the books taught by your husband have been in vain. Yet?"
Shi Qingxue's attention has been focused on Shi Baoyan since she entered the room. Seeing the other person's change from surprise to pity and now to jealousy, she couldn't help but feel a little more sad in her heart.
She really didn't expect that Shi Baoyan would want to kill her in a fight between sisters. Just before, she was still thinking that if Shi Baoyan admitted her mistake or showed guilt towards her, the matter would be forgotten.
Unexpectedly, Shi Baoyan not only did not feel ashamed of what she had done, but even at this time did not forget to add insult to injury.
sisters
Ah!
Shi Qingxue sneered, put away the last bit of friendship in her heart, and replied with a faint smile: "Fifth sister is naturally good at reading, but I don't know which gentleman has taught you to kill your own sisters?"
Shi Baoyan's face suddenly changed, and she said in a panic: "What are you talking about? I, I don't! Don't slander others!"
Shi Qingxue still smiled: "I haven't finished speaking yet, how come my sister concludes that I am slandering you? Could it be that you feel guilty?"
"No!" Shi Baoyan reluctantly replied. Not only was she feeling guilty, her entire back was dripping with sweat.
Mo Shujun was holding Shi Baoyan, but she couldn't feel her trembling, but she asked seriously: "What happened?"
Shi Qingxue raised her eyebrows and glanced at Shi Baoyan, who was cowering in Mo Shujun's arms, and then told everything about what happened in Mang Mountain, only briefly mentioning that she was rescued by Mo Junyang. He only speculated that Dr. Shen was so good at spreading the medicine that all the poisons were dispersed.
When Shi Baoyan heard that what Shi Qingxue encountered was a poison that could kill people, she showed a shocked look on her face. She instinctively turned to look at Zhou Ruyu. The latter secretly thought something bad and said quickly: "You don't know what you have been exposed to." Thing, you were chased by the poison because you were careless, how can you put the blame on Baoyan?"
"That's right, I didn't even go up the mountain. Why do you care about me when you're in danger? If you want to rely on me for all this, I won't do it!" After hearing Zhou Ruyu's words, Shi Baoyan seemed to have found a backbone and quickly answered. He also looked at Mo Shujun pitifully.
No matter how partial the old lady was to Shi Qingxue, she couldn't let Shi Qingxue slander her, right
Sure enough, Mo Shujun looked troubled and had no choice but to say to Xini: "Okay, everything will be fine when you come back safely. As for seeking medical treatment..."
Mo Shujun didn't see the legendary miracle doctor coming back. She thought she came to Shi Baoyan because of Shi Qingxue's failure in seeking medical treatment. She comforted her warmly: "The miracle doctor is right there. If you don't come back once, please go back a few times." Just once, no need to..."
"Who said I didn't invite Divine Doctor Shen back?" Shi Qingxue took over the words calmly, making Mo Shujun swallow the rest of her words.
Seeing everyone staring at her again, she slowly took out the sachet and handed it to everyone.
"It was Divine Doctor Shen who told me that the reason why I was besieged by poisons was because this sachet was filled with five-poison powder that can attract poisons." Shen Luo had wrapped the sachet with thick soil and used realgar powder. It's wrapped in a layer, so I don't worry about this thing attracting poison again.
But when Shi Baoyan saw the sachet, her body suddenly softened and she fell to the ground, stammering: "This sachet is not mine. I don't know what's going on?"
Before Shi Qingxue said anything, she didn't blame herself!
Zhou Ruyu secretly cursed an idiot at the side, but did not intend to speak for Shi Baoyan anymore. Instead, she took the initiative to confess: "Eh? Didn't Baoyan get this sachet from the embroiderer? When the embroiderer gave it to her, I happened to be He was also present, so why did the sachet end up in Qingxue's hands again
The sachet contains Wudu powder. Isn't this fatal? "
The last sentence was spoken in a low voice, like a murmur but enough for everyone to hear clearly.
This seemed to be the last straw for Shi Baoyan. Even if Shi Baoyan wanted to defend herself, she couldn't!
As witnesses and evidence gathered together, Mo Shujun's face suddenly turned cold. She pushed Shi Baoyan away who was still leaning against her and asked sternly: "Wu Niang, Qingxue is your biological sister! What are you doing? Can you do such evil things? You are really... "
"I didn't..." Shi Baoyan also looked confused. She clearly remembered that the sachet contained itching powder that would make people itch. How could it become the deadly five-poison powder
The third aunt clearly said...
An idea flashed in Shi Baoyan's mind, and she raised her head to look at Zhou Ruyu. Just when she was about to say something, Zhou Ruyu glared at her and sternly lectured: "You must take responsibility for the wrong things you do! If there is evidence If you still want to quibble after it's confirmed, our Shi family really won't tolerate you!"
The implication is that Shi Baoyan will be completely exterminated!
Shi Baoyan shrank her neck in fear, and finally swallowed back the excuses on her lips.
I just cried and begged: "Grandma, I know I was wrong. I was just obsessed for a moment, and I didn't really want Qingxue's life. Please, grandma, spare me this time! Please!"
Mo Shujun sighed heavily, but did not answer. She turned to look at Dong Hui, "Hui Niang, after all, this is your eldest family's business, and you are the matron of the family. How do you think this matter should be handled more appropriately?"
Shi Qingxue watched coldly from the side, thinking that her grandmother was really good at being a good person. She was unambiguous when establishing her authority. When she really wanted to offend someone, it would become her mother's problem!
According to Dong Hui's soft temperament, shouldn't this matter be reduced to a big deal, turned into a trivial matter, and then left alone
Shi Baoyan obviously knew this, and quickly knelt down next to Dong Hui, begging for mercy urgently: "Mother, Yan'er really knows that she was wrong, please spare me this time! I promise..."
But Dong Hui had a solemn face and said mercilessly: "Since mother left it to me, it must be handled according to family rules! Shi Baoyan deliberately harmed the lives of her relatives. If she failed, according to family rules, she should be sent to the family temple to think about her mistakes first. Five years, and the degree of repentance will be determined after five years. What does mother think?"
Where is the family temple
It was a small temple maintained by nobles, and was usually guarded by one or two Taoist nuns.
In the old days, if someone in the family made a mistake, they would invite themselves to the family temple to clean it up for a while as punishment. However, the environment of the family temple was really poor. Later, the pampered nobles could not bear the suffering. Over time, the family temple became a prosperous family. Unless the symbol of self-examination is abandoned by the family, it will generally not be sent to the family temple to be ruined.
No one thought that Dong Hui would actually kill him this time!
Shi Baoyan burst into tears, "Mother, Yan'er really knows that she was wrong! Please spare Yan'er!"
Mo Shujun looked a little unbearable, "Hui Niang, Wu Niang is still so young, wouldn't it be inappropriate to send her to the family temple?"
Dong Hui looked at Shi Baoyan's cry with cold eyes, lowered her eyes and replied: "This is a rule set by father when he was alive. What does mother think is wrong?"
When she mentioned Shi Lei, Mo Shujun immediately stopped talking!
When Zhou Ruyu gave it up, Baoyan gave it up so simply, but after all, she was a good stick. Now she was a little reluctant to part with it, and couldn't help but help: "Wu Niang is also the eldest brother's daughter after all. Now that eldest brother is out on the march, why not wait for him?" Will we make a decision when we come back?"
"If the master has other ideas, just wait until he comes back to deal with it. Since my mother has left me in charge of the family's rewards and punishments, naturally I can't let my mother down, right?"
Dong Hui answered in an orderly manner and with full firepower. She was determined to punish Shi Baoyan. This made Zhou Ruyu unable to save her even though she wanted to protect her, so she could only follow Mo Shujun angrily.
When Shi Baoyan saw that the last person who could help her had left her alone, her heart suddenly dropped to the extreme.
How can she eat the pain of repairing the family temple? She threw herself in front of Dong Hui and cried out: "I don't want to go to the family temple, I don't want to go to that kind of ghost place! Auntie, save me, auntie..."
Dong Hui didn't bother to listen to her call and waved her hand. Aunt Zheng immediately sent someone to gag Shi Baoyan's mouth and drag her down.
But Dong Hui and Shi Qingxue had just returned to the courtyard of Dafang, and the servants came to report again: Kou wanted to see them.
Dong Hui sneered and said coldly: "As soon as I disposed of my daughter, my mother-in-law came to ask for mercy. Does this mean that I, the head mother of the house, can't stand their teasing?"
