"Have you met Miss Fourth?" Shaoyao suddenly became worried.
Lu Tao slapped the table angrily and said, "She's really gone too far! It was obviously me who went to get the ice basin first! But Naqu's mother insisted that the Fourth Miss came over yesterday to say it, and half of the ice basin was taken away by the West Courtyard. Oh! How can there be any serious master in the West Courtyard! Naqu’s mother is so ignorant that she actually gave half of the ice basin to the West Courtyard!"
Shaoyao felt something was wrong and asked one more question: "Was anyone else present at the time?"
Lu Tao was stunned: "Yes, Ruxing from Tingqinxuan is also here."
"Did Naqu's mother say anything else?" Shaoyao asked.
Lu Tao thought about it carefully: "Qu's mother seemed to say that Miss Fourth came here yesterday and gave them money to buy five more ice basins."
Shaoyao finally understood and said to her seriously: "You were tricked by Miss Fourth. You just brought back five ice basins, right?"
"Yes." Lu Tao nodded.
Shaoyao continued to explain: "The five ice basins brought back by Xiyuan were bought by Xiyuan with their own money. In theory, we also took away an ice basin that belonged to Xiyuan. You wouldn't scold Mama Qu in front of Ruxing. Have a meal?"
"Uh... I said some unpleasant things." Lu Tao finally realized his mistake, "I thought those ten ice basins were sent by Dong Ling."
Shaoyao comforted her and said, "It's good if you can figure it out. I'll bring you two silver coins later to apologize to Mother Qu."
"Why?" Lu Tao was puzzled. The five ice basins belonged to Gongzhong and they had all brought them over. The West Courtyard did not dare to say anything.
Shaoyao sighed: "If I guessed correctly, the Fourth Miss would definitely comfort Qu's mother, and then say that it was all her fault, which made Qu's mother embarrassed. On the surface, she was blaming herself, but the Fourth Miss felt guilty in the servant's heart. You have a good reputation, but you are a bad person to Qu’s mother! Although the Fourth Miss didn’t say it explicitly, the comparison between before and after shows that you are inferior!”
"How disgusting!" Lu Tao became angry again, but this time she understood that it was her fault, "I actually fell into her trap!"
"So, from now on, just take the ones from our east courtyard, and don't take the ones that aren't. If you want more, just give them money and let them buy more!" Shaoyao was very pleased, Lu Tao was still very smart.
Half an hour later, Lu Tao took the silver and went to Qu's mother.
After a serious apology, he handed Qu’s mother four silver coins: “These two silver coins are given to you by the young lady. For the other two, you can buy two more ice basins next time. The young lady is afraid of the heat and uses them more. "
"Yes." Qu's mother was curious as to why this green Tao suddenly changed his temper.
But she didn't say much, nor did she tell Wen Qinglan about it.
The ice basin was delivered again two days later.
Lu Tao came over with Peony to get the ice basin.
I happened to meet Wen Qinglan who came in person. She came with Yuan'er.
"Miss Green Tao." Wen Qinglan greeted in a friendly manner.
Lu Tao didn't have the cold face as before, and replied with a smile: "Fourth Miss."
Wen Qinglan was surprised, why did Lu Tao change his temper
Mother Qu asked the little maid to go in and bring out the ice basin.
Seeing this, Wen Qinglan hurriedly said, "Let Miss Lu Tao take it first, and we can take the rest."
Lu Tao was not polite, and raised his hand to ask the maid behind him to carry the ice basin: "Carry ten ice basins back."
The maid behind him stepped forward to move it.
Wen Qinglan saw that all ten ice basins had been brought out, and Ruxing from outside also brought his servant girl.
She quickly said: "Miss Green Tao, five of these ten ice basins belong to our west courtyard."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruxing arrived with his maid.
They had heard the previous conversation between Lu Tao and Wen Qinglan.
Lu Tao was not as angry as he was two days ago, but said with a smile: "What are you so anxious about, Fourth Miss? Three of these ten ice basins are from our east courtyard, and the other seven were bought by slaves with money. You guys Everyone from the west courtyard is inside."
Wen Qinglan was stunned when she heard this.
Why is it different from what she thought
Didn't she ask Mother Qu to tell her what happened yesterday
Wen Qinglan glanced at Qu's mother and saw her turning around and telling the little maid to go in and move things: "Bring out the fourth lady's ice basin."
Ruxing thought for a while, just like the previous two days, he didn't say much.
Soon, the little maid brought out seven ice basins.
Qu's mother respectfully explained to Wen Qinglan: "You bought the five ice basins with your extra money. One is the original portion of the West Courtyard, and the last one was returned to your West Courtyard by the green pottery girl."
After hearing the last sentence, Wen Wen Qinglan's expression changed.
Lu Tao actually reacted so quickly
But she still calmed down: "Thank you Miss Green Tao, but the weather has been hotter these two days. Are ten ice basins enough? If not, please use ours first."
Lu Tao twitched the corner of his mouth and was too lazy to pay attention to Wen Qinglan.
Shaoyao stood up and said, "Thank you Miss Fourth for your kindness. Ten is enough."
"Let's go." Lu Tao turned around and led the servant girl away from here.
After returning to the east courtyard, Lu Tao ran to Wen Qingzhu's room excitedly.
He recounted what had just happened vividly.
"...Miss, I don't know. She was so cool at that time! I really thought that this slave didn't know her bad intentions! She even waited until Ruxing was about to come over before telling her."
But Wen Qingzhu heard something different and asked, "You mean Wen Qinglan glanced at Qu's mother after being stunned?"
"Yes, Shaoyao told this slave that Qu's mother is a real person and will not offend any master because of a small profit!" Lu Tao explained.
Wen Qingzhu felt that this song sounded familiar to his mother.
"What did Mama Qu do originally?"
Lu Tao thought for a moment: "I told you before, I told you that after that incident, the Third Master transferred all Yanyuan's mothers out, but Mother Luo and Mother Qu did not commit any crime. Aunt Yue later felt that Yanyuan's There were too few people, so we brought them back. The third master knew about this and had no objection."
"It seems that this mother Qu is not bad. You should treat her well in the future. As long as I am fine, mother Qu will not betray us." Wen Qingzhu has already confirmed that this mother Qu is a person who understands current affairs.
Mother Luo was transferred in later and did not get involved in the dirty things in Dao Yanyuan.
But Qu’s mother has always been there, but she didn’t get involved in these things, which shows that she sees things very clearly.
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu thought of Mother Wei in the east courtyard.
She has always been very honest and helps in the medicine garden.
After the last Hundred Flowers Banquet, Wen Qingzhu determined that Yang might not have much status in the Yang family.
At least the little Yang who married better than Yang ignored her at all.
In addition, when she asked Jasmine to stare at each room, Jasmine was pushed into the pond by someone from the big room.
Wen Qingzhu was already certain that Lu's death had nothing to do with the fourth room.
Even though Mrs. Wen didn't like her mother, her mother was carrying an heir of the Wen family.
Mother Ye said that Dr. Song also said at that time that the mother's baby must be a boy.
Although Mrs. Liu hates Mrs. Lu, she cannot possibly frame her mother when her grandson is still born.
In this way, my mother's death is related to Dafang.
However, the eldest family is the eldest family member and will inherit everything from the Wen family in the future.
Mingxuan should not be a threat to them!
Why did they kill their mother and Mingxuan!
"Lu Tao, bring Mother Wei over tonight. I want to see her." Now that Wen Qingzhu had found out his enemy, he began to take revenge.
"Okay." Lu Tao didn't understand why he wanted to see Wei's mother at this time.
Wen Qingzhu asked one more question: "Are the two mothers-in-law still listening to Qinxuan for help?"
"Well, she is still over there. Aunt Yue said she is very honest." Lu Tao nodded.
Wen Qingzhu was relieved.
Late at night, Lu Tao brought Wei's mother to Wen Qingzhu's room.
Mother Wei always kept her head down.
She didn't understand why Lu Tao brought her to the lady's room.
Isn't the lady unconscious now
When she arrived in the room, Lu Tao closed the door, lifted the curtain and led her in.
Mother Wei heard a voice that made her whole body tremble: "Should I still call you Mother Wei?"
Mother Wei immediately looked up and saw Wen Qingzhu sitting in front of her.
She was so frightened that she immediately fell to the ground, trembling like chaff.
Wen Qingzhu did not look at her again, but said to himself: "I have been bored in the room for a long time, and no one has talked to me. I have found out some things clearly. When I asked you that time, you didn't Completely lose yourself, right?”
Mother Wei quickly climbed to Wen Qingzhu's feet, her whole body trembling.
I was so trembling that I couldn't say a word.
Wen Qingzhu poured a cup of tea and moistened her throat. She said slowly: "These days, you have done a good job in the medicine garden. Not only Mrs. Ji praises you very much, but also the peony." I said some nice things to you, and if I guessed correctly, you should have learned a lot of medical skills from your mother, at least you can know all about herbal medicine."
"Please... little... miss... spare your life." Mother Wei knelt on the ground, speechless.
She thought Wen Qingzhu would never find out about this, but she didn't expect that she was still exposed.
Mother Wei felt like she was trapped in a net, and she couldn't break free.
Wen Qingzhu stood up and walked around twice behind Mother Wei: "You started to mislead me, making me think that my mother's death was related to the fourth aunt. Because I personally hypnotized you with medicine, I definitely believed what you said in that situation. , yes, I believe it.”
Mother Wei's whole body was cold, and she suddenly had a terrible guess.
The poison on Wen Mingyu was most likely caused by Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu didn't know what Wei's mother was thinking, so she just continued: "But after going to Fourth Aunt's place to investigate many times, except for the eleventh sister who was a little suspicious later, Fourth Aunt had no reason to deal with mother. Later, I thought about it carefully. After thinking about it, grandma doesn't make sense. No matter how much she hates mother, grandma still likes the descendants of the Wen family. Then there is only one possibility, and that is the eldest uncle Wan Shi. Why does she want to deal with mother? "
When Wen Qingzhu said the last sentence, he suddenly squatted down next to Wei's mother.
A pair of dark eyes looked straight at Wei's mother.
The cold eyes were like a life-threatening ghost, making Wei's mother hurriedly hide away.
"If you tell me, I can consider keeping your body intact." Wen Qingzhu's slow voice was like a ghost from hell, and he instantly strangled her throat.
Under extreme tension, Wei's mother's vision went dark and her whole spirit collapsed.
Because she found that she could never escape Wen Qingzhu.
As Wen Qingzhu grew up, her appearance became more and more similar to Lu's.
Mother Wei was already feeling ashamed, but now she couldn't hold it any longer.
When she woke up again, Wei's mother found herself lying on a soft bed.
Wen Qingzhu was taking the initiative to massage her, and even asked gently: "Are you feeling better?"
Mother Wei was so frightened that she rolled to the ground. Her voice was so hoarse that it almost broke: "Slave, all the slaves have been recruited."
Wen Qingzhu looked at her quietly, waiting for Mother Wei's words.
"At that time, Dr. Song was very sure that the child in the third wife's belly was a boy. It happened that the third master was in high school at that time. Mr. Wen was very happy and showed his intention to support the third master."
