"What do you think?" Lan Bai thought for a while, "I just think it's too coincidental, and besides, it's strange that the second lady would go to save the fourth lady?" She would be fine if she didn't push the fourth lady off the bridge herself. "Besides, the one who is closer to the fourth lady should be the maid who is close to the fourth lady, but the second lady is faster than them. It's really... weird."
Lou Qingwu smiled, "Then what if Ruan Zhen knew in advance that the fourth lady would be in danger?"
After all, emergencies can make people stunned, and many opportunities will be missed during this time period, but if they knew in advance, they would naturally not be stunned on the spot.
Lan Bai was stunned: "Master, you mean it was designed by the second lady?"
"En." Lou Qingwu picked up the teacup and took a sip. Ruan Zhen seemed to have worked hard this time, she actually knew to change her image in Hao Meier's heart first, otherwise, if something happened to the child in Hao Meier's belly, the first The first suspect was her. But if she actually saved Hao Meier, then this state would change.
After all, if she wanted to kill the child in Hao Meier's womb, she would not have rescued her.
"Master, what does the fourth lady want to do? There is no reason for her to do this."
"Yes, why not? If she wants to blame someone else for Hao Meier's miscarriage, then the first thing she has to do is to be honest with herself. Lan Bai, go and call Qian Mian back and ask him about the results of his investigation." .”
"yes."
Lan Bai left quickly, and Qian Mian came back soon with the face of a servant who couldn't name him in the mansion. Seeing Lou Qingwu, he habitually tore off the human skin mask first, revealing To breathe, "Master, are you looking for me?"
"Well, did you find out what Ye Ji gave Ruan Zhen?"
"Uh, this... I have found some, but I haven't found anything specific yet. I bought Ruan Zhen's personal maid, and she squatted for a long time, but only saw a Gu cup. I still can't find out what's inside. However, she said that the girl who served Ruan Zhen to bed in Fuxiyuan said that she had seen a knotted tail exposed from the Gu cup, it was black with a pointed tail, and she also accidentally saw it by accident, and immediately She was reprimanded by Ruan Zhen and transferred to another place the next day, and that maid was unwilling to do so, so she complained to many people." The maid who happened to be bribed by him knew about it and told him.
"Black, knotted, with a pointed tail?" Lou Qingwu squinted her eyes, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes, and suddenly remembered something.
"Master, can you guess what it is?"
"...it should be the red scorpion Gu." Among the Gu insects of the Yuebai tribe, there is probably only this kind of Gu poison that is more suitable. The tail of the scorpion is pointed, and it is just in line with the toxicity of blood-loving to cause miscarriage in pregnant women.
"Red Scorpion Gu? What is that?" Lan Bai felt uncomfortable when he heard the name.
"A kind of Gu insect with relatively low toxicity. It likes blood. As long as the body is injured and bleeding, it will sneak into the body silently. Within twelve hours, to be precise, it is seven to ten hours. During the period in between, it will attack, and the child in the pregnant person's stomach will be shed silently."
"So vicious? The second lady wants to deal with the fourth lady like this?"
"No, it's far from that simple." Otherwise, Ruan Zhen only needs to put the Gu Cup into the fourth lady's body silently and it will have nothing to do with her, but she has spent so much effort just to abort the child. Just put the blame on her.
Now that she has declared war, how can she refuse to fight.
At dinner time, the butler of the mansion came to Yifeng Pavilion in person, said that Lou Qufeng had set up a family banquet, and asked Lou Qingwu to go to the dining hall for dinner.
Lou Qingwu agreed, after the housekeeper left.
Lou Qingwu asked Lan Bai to take a set of clothes to change into. While helping her tidy up the skirts, Lan Bai couldn't help but said: "Master, what do you want to do by saying that the master suddenly held a family banquet at this time?"
"Ruan Zhen saved the fourth lady today. He is naturally very happy. He thinks this is an opportunity for the ladies in the mansion to live in harmony." However, the ideal is very good, but the reality is very skinny. As long as there is a conflict of interest, this It is impossible for Lou Mansion to be peaceful. After all, today is the day when Lou Lianxin returns home, and there is still no one from the Li family. Since it is a family banquet, they will definitely meet in the dining hall.
Lou Lianxin came back for the first time after getting married, how could she not go and see.
"Then master, will the second lady do anything tonight?"
"... Then it depends on whether the timing is right."
"Then it's better for her not to do anything. Going against you, master, is simply courting death."
"That's not necessarily the case, after all... this time it's Gu poison, and it's unknowingly so. It sounds like it's really..." It's heart-wrenching.
A cold smile rose from the corner of her mouth, her beautiful eyes were half closed, Lou Qingwu looked at the woman in the bronze mirror, the coldness in her eyes became stronger.
When Lou Qingwu arrived at the dining hall, everyone was already seated.
Seeing her coming, Lou Qufeng stood up himself, with a smile on his face, "Qingwu, you are here, come on, come and sit here!" After finishing speaking, he was going to let her sit next to her.
But the second wife, Ruan Zhen, held him back, "Master, today is a good day, one is to officially inform everyone that a new member will be added to the mansion, and the other is to congratulate the eldest lady on being named Princess Rende , since it's Double Happiness, why should Missy and Sister Meier sit together?"
"The second lady is right. Qingwu, you can sit on the left of your fourth mother."
"Yes, father."
Lou Qingwu was noncommittal, she came here just to watch the play.
As long as you can see a good show, it doesn't matter where you sit.
Lou Qingwu sat down beside the fourth wife, Hao Meier. When she sat down, Hao Meier had a smile in her eyes. She was very grateful to Lou Qingwu for helping her keep the child regardless of the past, so she naturally said a few more words sentence. Lou Qingwu responded one by one, but her peripheral vision inadvertently landed on Ruan Zhen who was on Hao Meier's right, and when she met the sneer in her eyes, she calmly averted her eyes.
Lou Lianxin sat a little far away, she was rarely too quiet tonight, extremely low-key, it seemed that Ruan Zhen had already greeted her in advance.
Otherwise, with Lou Lianxin's temperament, she would have to put all the sins on her head no matter what she received when she was treated like that in the Li family. The family banquet was uneventful until the end, but when the tea was finally served, something unexpected happened.
When a maid serving tea was pouring tea for Ruan Zhen, she suddenly tilted her body, and poured a cup of hot tea on Ruan Zhen's body. She was startled, and quickly dodged to the left, accidentally bumping into Hao Meier's body , the back of her hot hand flicked violently, a corner of the jade bead chain she was wearing on her wrist was broken for some reason, and it happened to be scratched on Hao Meier's hand, leaving a bloodstain, and a drop of blood dripped from her hand down.
