Brother Liu looked at his mother innocently, and Qiao Wei also looked at Xun Lan. It is worth mentioning that Xun Lan was wearing a veil, so others could not see any expression. Covering the emotions in the eyes.
She could only hear her say calmly: "Children, don't eat indiscriminately."
It seems that there is nothing wrong with not letting the children eat randomly, but at that moment she reacted too quickly, and even had a bit of a strong taste, even Ji Shangqing frowned slightly, of course Ji Shangqing would not doubt her little wife, but This thing was given to Brother Liu by Qiao Wei. When she did this, it felt like she was blaming Qiao Wei for doing something wrong, which made Qiao Wei feel embarrassed.
Qiao Wei didn't say to let him eat, but just let him watch it. Taking a step back, even if it was really for him to eat, Qiao Wei is Brother Liu's sister-in-law, so why can't she feed Brother Liu
Qiao Wei showed a look of embarrassment appropriately: "I tasted a little before I came here. It seems to be corn flour, and caramel is added. It tastes good."
There is a subtext in this statement. I have tasted this thing and I am sure it is non-toxic and pollution-free, so I dare to give it to your son. Don't doubt my intentions!
Ji Shangqing frowned: "Is it yours?"
This question seemed to be asked by Xun Lan.
Xun Lan said softly, "It's not mine, nor Brother Liu's."
Ji Shangqing said: "I don't have such a thing in my room."
Qiao Wei muttered: "That's strange, how did this thing get into my box? Forget it, I'll ask Mingxiu later to see if he moved my box."
Brother Liu stared at the bottle in Qiao Wei's hand, and kept sucking on his saliva.
Qiao Wei looked at him generously, but didn't say to give him something delicious.
She is now a little daughter-in-law who has been humiliated by her little stepmother. She is afraid of her mother-in-law's anger, so she dare not feed her uncle.
Ji Shangqing looked at the son in his arms and said, "Want to eat?"
Brother Liu looked at his mother, but dared not speak.
Ji Shangqing said seriously: "If you want to eat, just say it, don't be a mother-in-law, you are a man, not a woman."
Brother Liu nodded hesitantly.
Qiao Wei handed over the bottle: "Here."
Brother Liu was still a little scared, so he glanced at Ji Shangqing, and Ji Shangqing gave him an encouraging look, and he took the bottle from Qiao Wei: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Qiao Wei smiled slightly: "It's so cute."
The matter has been resolved, Qiao Wei asked An to leave, and as soon as she left the yard, Ji Shangqing said to Xun Lan: "I know that Mingxiu and Wanwan don't want to see you, you are inevitably angry, but you are an elder, don't argue with them .”
Zhou's mother interrupted: "Master, the young lady gave the third young master beef jerky on the first day she came, which ruined the third young master's stomach. Isn't the lady afraid?"
Ji Shangqing's face darkened, Zhou's mother shrank her neck in fright, covered her mouth, and retreated resentfully.
Xun Lan said softly: "What the master said is true, I will pay attention to it in the future."
…
Qiao Wei left Tongyuan, and now she is sure that the person who poisoned her was the little stepmother. It's strange, she didn't offend the little stepmother, why did the little stepmother do this? In order to compete for the heir
But it's far-fetched isn't it
Even if she dies, there is still Jing Yun, even if Jing Yun is also KO'd by the little stepmother, there is still Ming Xiu, Ming Xiu is so young, and he can't have as many children as he wants, unless she kills Ming Xiu, the heir Brother Liu will never be able to take the seat.
Not for this reason.
"Miss!" Bi'er walked over sneakily.
Qiao Wei looked at her shady appearance, and asked strangely: "What are you doing so sneakily?"
Bi'er said: "I just went to the dining room to wander around, guess what I found out?"
The dining room is the easiest place to get news. Compared with some modern canteens, there are more people, more news, and a sweet mouth, like Bier, so you can dig out several secret histories.
"What?" Qiao Wei asked.
Bi'er frowned and said, "Ma'am, you seem to have offended the Xun family."
"How to say?"
"It's about seeing a doctor."
"Who are you treating?"
"Heal everyone."
Qiao Wei said indifferently: "Speak human words."
Bi'er considered her words for a while, and said concisely: "Before you, people in the house would go to Mrs. Xun if they had a headache or something, and Mrs. Xun would hire doctors for them for free. Madam, you have never hired a doctor outside. , I don’t know that doctor visits are actually very expensive, a pack of medicine is only a few dozen copper coins, and the doctor’s consultation fee is at least one tael of silver.”
Qiao Wei was stunned, the ancient doctor's outpatient fee was so high? !
One tael of silver, this is six hundred yuan!
No wonder Qiao Wei didn't know about it, she really never hired a doctor outside. When Jing Yun Wangshu was sick, she went to the town with the child on her back, and the consultation fee was much cheaper when she went to the pharmacy, but she had acne For the rash, it was Aunt Luo who paid the money, together with the medical expenses, and returned it to Aunt Luo. She didn't calculate how much of it was the consultation fee.
Bi'er nodded: "The Xun family's doctor may not be so expensive. The doctor's surname is Lu, he is from her hometown, and he has treated Ji's family for many years."
Qiao Wei shook her head, and paid for the doctor herself. The little stepmother is really a kind model and a model of morality. In contrast, every time someone sees a doctor, I have to keep an account and seek reimbursement from meditation. Petty and selfish!
Qiao Wei spread her hands: "Since she is so kind, why would she care that I stole Dr. Xun's business?"
Bi'er's small eyes were cold: "Did you really just steal a doctor's business?"
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows: "Okay, I stole her limelight, but she has a problem with me just because of this little thing?"
Bi'er said: "Miss, this is not a trivial matter. At least, not for the Xun family."
Yes, the Xun family has nothing, and the child is still young. All she can rely on is Ji Shangqing, who is a good reputation praised by everyone.
All of this, from the first time I entered the door, gradually began to change.
First, it was the bride's entrance ceremony, and she overwhelmed Xun's one end. Of course, this one was really wronged. She had no intention of fighting against Xun's family, but the heartless aunt couldn't get used to Xun's, so she used her as a raft. Shengsheng took advantage of her few preserved eggs to trample on Xun's Gusu talent.
This hatred can be said to be provoked by this brainless aunt.
After that is to see a doctor.
She really didn't know that there would be someone so selfless in the world, which even Qiao Zheng couldn't match. Qiao Zheng couldn't walk when he saw a patient. It wasn't because of his sympathy, but because he was a medical idiot himself, and it was the same reason that OCD wanted to tidy up a messy table. When encountering beggars begging on the road, Qiao Zheng never said a word.
Of course Xun Lan is not truly selfless, otherwise she wouldn't be angry because of it.
The mistake was that although she didn't think that Xun Lan would be selfless, she also didn't think that Xun Lan would be so selfish.
Selfish enough to reach out to her for a little fame.
How about a needle in the bottom of a woman's heart
She is a woman and she doesn't even understand women.
Bi'er continued: "Furthermore, madam, I also heard that she never used money from Ji's family to subsidize her natal family. Her reputation is good, but it's not all because she treats patients for free. She puts her own money into The Ji family, she respects the old lady, the master, and the people of the East Mansion and the North Mansion without ambiguity. She said that the Ji family gave her what she is today, and she should repay the Ji family."
Dedicated to the Ji family, everyone in the Ji family loves her.
This number, tsk tsk, which boudoir woman can compare
Dumped her good aunt Xu's Eighteen Streets.
As long as the Xu family is half as conscious as Xun Lan, if she doesn't drive her out of Qiao's house, and doesn't covet the big house's property, when Qiao Zheng comes back, with Qiao Zheng's indifferent personality, the Ganoderma lucidum hall will belong to Xu's family and be the head of the family. It is also very likely that it belongs to Xu's son.
Xu was not defeated by how many bad things he did, but how many stupid things he did.
In contrast, Xun Lan is much smarter.
Not only smart in vision, but also smart in details, including guessing people's hearts, Xun is a good hand.
That night, Mrs. Xun deliberately changed her clothes in front of her, because she was too embarrassed to keep staring at Mrs. Xun. When she looked away, Mrs. Xun used her body to cover her and sprinkled a handful of five Happy day, how seamless.
Now, she began to suspect that the matter between Shiliu and Cuiping was not accidental.
Qiao Wei walked towards the east.
Bi'er stared and said, "Ma'am, where are you going? Qinglianju isn't there!"
Qiao Wei said indifferently, "Go to Dongfu."
Mrs. Li had just sent Qiao Wei away, and after a while Qiao Wei returned, she couldn't help being surprised: "Is something left here?"
The second master is a concubine, so he is really not close to the big house, okay? Even though Li Shi likes Qiao Wei to see her doctor very much, but Qiao Wei runs twice an hour, it still makes her feel a little nervous.
Qiao Wei smiled calmly: "It's nothing serious. I suddenly remembered that Pomegranate had been to the Weeping Willow Garden that day. It happened that I dropped a handkerchief there. I wanted to ask if I found Pomegranate."
Mrs. Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'll call her here, you can ask."
Pomegranate fell into the water and was frightened, but she was fine. She entered the room and saluted Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei first asked about her "veil" seriously, of course she didn't see the pomegranate, then Qiao Wei asked her how she fell into the water, who she met before she fell into the water, and that person came to the Weeping Willow Garden together, maybe I found her handkerchief Yunyun.
She asked cleverly, which didn't make Shiliu suspicious.
"I was just walking, as if I stepped on a small stone, slipped on the sole of my foot, and fell down! I met Zhou's mother before, and Zhou's mother told my wife not to take your medicine, but to find Dr. Lu! I said I believe you!"
Pomegranate never forgets to flatter Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei sat in the second room for half an hour, inquiring about a lot of information. Li Shi probably saw that she was a bit investigating, but pretended not to know, what Qiao Wei asked, she was within the range of Mingzhe, Provide some mild news.
Afterwards, Qiao Wei returned to Qinglianju, called Yan'er to her, and asked about Cuiping's situation: "Who did she meet before the accident?"
Yan'er said: "I've seen a lot of people." That day when Qinglianju opened for consultation, the yard was full of people, three floors inside and three floors outside, but they were all seen by Cuiping.
"Has anyone seen Tongyuan?" Qiao Wei asked.
Yan'er snorted, "Yes, Mother Zhou."
It's Mama Zhou again!
Qiao Wei asked again: "Where did you meet?"
Yan'er replied: "It's at the gate of Qinglianju. Mama Wu had an accident that day, and someone had already informed the eldest lady. I don't know who notified the slaves. Anyway, the eldest lady and Zhou mother brought Dr. Lu over here. , but they heard that Mother Wu was fine, so they left."
"How did Zhou's mother talk to Cuiping?" Qiao Wei asked.
Yan'er didn't dare to hide anything: "Cuiping came to see a doctor, but was caught by Zhou's mother at the door, and Zhou's mother looked a little unhappy, so Cuiping didn't dare to say that she was here to see a doctor, she just said that she was here. looking for slaves."
Qiao Wei sneered: "In the end, something happened to Cuiping at night?"
Yan'er's eyebrows twitched, madam, madam is suspicious...
Qiao Wei glanced at her: "I didn't say anything, don't make wild guesses. If I ask you today, you must not reveal half a word to others, otherwise, I can't guarantee that you will become the second Cuiping."
Yan'er trembled in fright: "Your servant obeys!"
At this point, Qiao Wei was basically sure that the matter between Pomegranate and Cuiping was not an accident. As for whether Zhou's mother made her own decision or Xun Lan gave orders, I'm afraid I have to ask them themselves.
I really don't understand, how did such a piranha become the little stepmother of meditation? Is Ji Shang blue-eyed and lame
"Ma'am, this servant thinks that the things about Pomegranate and Cuiping must have been done by people from Tongyuan! Your five-day joy was also done by people from Tongyuan!" Bi'er already knew about Qiao Weizhong's five-day joy, But I don't know that Qiao Wei has encountered a wave of pursuit, "When the young master comes back, tell the young master about the good things Tongyuan has done, and let the young master decide for the wife!"
For a moment, Qiao Wei really wanted to tell the whole story, but when she thought of the scene where Mingxiu mentioned Xun Lan that day, Xun Lan said that she didn't know that she gave the beef jerky, and Mingxiu believed it.
She has no evidence and only sues Xun Lan based on a few guesses. Will Mingxiu buy it
Probably everything is clear to the bystanders, and the authorities are obsessed. Bi'er felt that Ji Mingxiu would definitely believe in Qiao Wei, but Qiao Wei herself did not have such confidence.
Mingxiu's trust in Xun Lan was like a thorn in her heart.
I usually don't think about it, it doesn't hurt or itch, but when I really want to touch it, I will feel a dull pain.
She seldom envies someone, because jealousy is an admission that she is inferior, but as long as she thinks that Xun Lan accompanied Mingxiu through the most innocent age in her life, she will never be able to participate in that age, she will never be able to Really so calm.
Qiao Wei smiled lightly: "What do you know, silly girl, she is a childhood sweetheart who grew up together, and Cheng Yaojin, who was killed halfway like me, can't compare with it."
Bier: Is this how Cheng Yaojin uses it
Qiao Wei rubbed her chin: "Evil can never prevail, I don't believe she has stayed in Ji's family for more than ten years, and she didn't leave half a clue!"
Bier asked, "Where are you going to start the investigation? Why don't you call Xiao Wei? He is very good at scouting for information!"
Qiao Wei gave her a squint: "I'm afraid I don't know you two have a good relationship, right?"
Billy blushed.
Qiao Wei leaned back in the chair slowly: "Let's find out how she married into Ji's family first."
I always feel that Xun Lan's age, identity and background are not compatible with Ji Shangqing. In this era, old couples and young wives are not discriminated against. Besides, when Ji Shangqing married Xun Lan, he was in his prime. On the contrary, Xun Lan was a little older, almost twenty up.
In ancient times, she was an old lady. The majestic head of the Ji family took in all the concubines with pink and tender flower bones, let alone the main wife? No matter how you think about it, it is Xun Lan who has climbed up to Ji Shangqing.
If it is out of the consideration of protecting children, Ji Shangqing's decision can be understood.
Finding a mother whose mother clan is too powerful to give birth to a child in the future will inevitably compete with Ji Mingxiu for the position of head of the family, but looking for his son's playmate, has he really not considered the feelings of Mingxiu and Ji Wan
In the past few days, Qiao Wei has been running more and more frequently to the East Mansion and the North Mansion.
"You asked Mrs. Xun how you married your elder brother?" Li said: "After the princess passed away, the master was lonely, the daughter got married, and the son didn't have a good relationship with him. I know, she is gentle and gracious, knowledgeable and sensible, which man doesn't like such a woman? The two of them are considered to be in love with each other for a long time."
"Love with each passing day? Mrs. Li really knows how to say it! Don't believe her, she is a vicious person, she dare not offend that vixen!" Ji Shuang ate a melon seed and said mockingly: "That vixen seduces me all day long! Big brother, I was so fascinated by my big brother, I accidentally let her climb on the bed, my big brother had to marry that vixen! Otherwise, with her status, she is worthy of my sister-in-law? Let me tell you, you will leave that place in the future Stay away from the vixen, and stay away from her if you ask Mingxiu! You just entered Ji’s house, I’m afraid you don’t know, Mingxiu grew up with her, and the relationship is good, be careful that one day she will be shameless and hook Mingxiu away again up!
I'm not talking nonsense! I saw it with my own eyes, she and Mingxiu knelt on the back mountain to worship the heaven and the earth, and sworn husband and wife! Those who are enlightened late in the practice of meditation are fools, playing tricks are playing tricks, and those who enlightened earlier will drop her at that time! "
Ji Wan sent two little buns back home, and Qiao Wei told her what Ji Shuang had said verbatim, and Ji Wan let out a hush in disbelief: "How did she know that Mingxiu and Xun Shi worshiped heaven and earth with her eyes? Then It's my mother's death day, we burned paper for my mother in the back mountain! I was there too, why didn't she say she saw me?"
Qiao Wei's expression was a little confused.
Ji Wan said with a chuckle: "Auntie is only afraid that the world will not be chaotic. If you believe her, you will be fooled. She can't wait for everyone to go and target the Xun family!"
"Did she have a problem with the Xun family?" Qiao Wei asked.
Ji Wan said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. She insisted on holding on to it. It is said that a few years ago, my uncle drank too much wine and mistook Xun Lan for her, so he hugged Xun Lan in the garden. Xun Lan, my son Xun Lan hadn't married my father at that time. Xun Lan was terrified and called for help. We all heard that help, so we rushed over and pulled my uncle away. She slapped Xun Lan without saying a word I must say that Xun Lan seduced my uncle! But if Xun Lan really wanted to seduce, would he still call for help? Uncle is a good man, but that time he was really drunk and confused. My aunt threw him into Gong's room, and he hugged the toilet and shouted all night Where's Shuang'er!"
Qiao Wei imagined the scene of Uncle Qin holding the toilet and shouting "Shuang'er" in ecstasy, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
But this also explains why Ji Shuang always dislikes Xun Lan and always looks terribly jealous.
"Then why did she marry her father?"
Ji Wan sighed: "Oh, it's a long story. She was married before."
Qiao Wei: "?!"
Ji Wan said: "If the house is not consummated, the groom will die. The husband's family insists that the bride is the one who killed her. They are afraid that the whole family will suffer bad luck and will execute Xun Lan. My father went and brought her back. marry her."
The little stepmother's past turned out to be so exciting!
Qiao Wei suppressed her shock and asked with her normal expression, "But what happened on the way back?"
"Who knows?" Ji Wan said casually, paused, and said again: "She wants to repay her kindness."
A promise of love
That also requires your father's consent.
Qiao Wei hesitated for a while, then said: "Speaking of which, does father like Xun family very much?"
"Yeah." Ji Wan reluctantly admitted.
Qiao Wei thought for a while: "Do you like it more than the princess?"
Ji Wan said angrily: "How is it possible? My father loves my mother the most! This woman is just a housefill! My father is getting old and lonely, and Mingxiu and I have grown up again, so it's not fun anymore! Having a son with her is funny!"
Qiao Wei turned her body sideways, do you want to be so fierce
At night, when Ji Mingxiu came back from court, the envoys from Southern Chu had visited, and the details were complicated, and there was a hint of tiredness between his brows.
The two little buns threw themselves into his arms, and he pampered their heads pamperingly: "Auntie's house is fun?"
Wang Shu smiled and said: "It's fun! We agreed with my aunt that we will live in Ji's house for ten days and Lin's house for ten days!"
Ji Mingxiu patted the shoulders of the two, and they went to play hand in hand.
"My sister has been here?" Ji Mingxiu looked at another cup of tea on the table that was not removed in time.
Qiao Wei spread her hands: "It's here, but I seem to have pissed her off again."
"Why are you angry with her?" Ji Mingxiu asked with a smile.
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows: "I just asked a few questions about my father and the Xun family."
Ji Mingxiu's expression faded: "My father is going to marry her."
Four people, four interpretations.
Ji Shuang thinks that Xun Lan seduced Ji Shangqing, Li thinks that the two have been in love for a long time, Ji Wan thinks that Xun Lan is taking the initiative to repay the favor, but Mingxiu says that Ji Shangqing is asking for marriage.
Qiao Wei no longer knew who to trust.
But one thing is certain, that is, no matter how different the four people's statements are, they did not deny Ji Shangqing's liking for Xun Lan.
