Over in Huayuan, Mrs. Wan was sitting in the room fuming.
Nanny Lu stood next to her and tried to persuade her: "Madam, please be careful. You are responsible for most of the birthday banquet. The fourth room is just a formality."
Wan Shimei frowned and said in a deep voice: "But the old lady is too partial. I didn't arrange every detail of the birthday banquet. When it is about to end, she will come out to grab the credit. Who can she show it to?" !”
While the two were talking, Dong Ling knocked on the door.
"Madam, I have something to report."
Wan only lost her temper in front of Aunt Lu. After letting Dong Ling come in, she returned to her calm housekeeper's appearance.
Dong Ling walked up quickly and whispered: "Madam, there is a flood over there in Yanyuan."
Wan thought for a moment and asked, "But the West Courtyard?"
"Exactly, but Aunt Yue has sealed off all information, not allowing anyone in or out. When someone asked, they told me that they knocked over the charcoal basin and it was nothing serious."
"Where is Miss Seven?" Mrs. Wan knew that Aunt Wu would not be able to sit still, but she didn't know if this matter had anything to do with the East Courtyard.
Dong Ling replied: "There is no news coming from inside for the time being."
Wan thought of what she had heard about in the second room, raised her eyes and ordered: "You keep an eye on Yanyuan and see what's going on?"
"Yes." Dong Ling took the order and stepped back.
After leaving Huayuan, Dong Ling tried her best to avoid people and quietly took a detour towards Yanyuan.
Behind the trees outside Huayuan, Jasmine poked half of her head out, her brows furrowed.
She must have read correctly just now, Dong Ling was coming from Yanyuan.
The direction Dong Ling is heading now is also towards Yanyuan.
Yanyuan East Courtyard.
Wen Qingzhu was in the pharmacy, dispensing the medicine himself.
Mother Wei refused to speak, so she naturally found a way to make her speak.
Before entering the pharmacy, Wen Qingzhu wrote a list of medicinal materials and asked Mother Ye to prepare it.
Lu Tao stood behind her, helping weigh and crush the medicine.
Wen Qingzhu's hands were as fast as flying, adding medicinal materials to the stove one after another.
Half an hour later, seventy-two medicinal materials had been added.
When the fire in the stove slowly extinguished, Wen Qingzhu opened the stove lid.
There was an almost solid mass inside the pot, and a bitter taste immediately filled the entire room.
Wen Qingzhu closed the lid and turned around to tell Lu Tao: "Put this away when Yu Wen gets the complete news. I will interrogate Mother Wei tonight."
"Yes." Lu Tao stood in front of the stove, not daring to stop for a moment.
As soon as he left the pharmacy, Wen Qingzhu looked up and saw his mother-in-law cleaning the yard.
After walking only two steps, Wen Qingzhu suddenly turned around and walked to the two mothers-in-law.
The two mothers-in-law stopped quickly: "Miss."
"Where's Mrs. Ji?" Wen Qingzhu felt a little strange.
"The two mothers-in-law are tending herbs in the backyard." The two mothers-in-law lowered their heads and answered.
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "Oh, then you should be busy."
Turning around and leaving, the smile on Wen Qingzhu's lips deepened.
This twin mother-in-law is very interesting.
As soon as I arrived at the front hall, I met Jasmine coming back.
"Miss, the last time I came over from Huayuan, I found out the real aunt's purpose from the second room."
After Wen Qingzhu sat down, a hint of ridicule appeared on his face: "The aunt is also a common person."
Jasmine added: "When I came back just now, I saw Dong Ling coming back from our side, and then going around again."
Wen Qingzhu explained: "It seems that someone has spread the news about the West Courtyard. I will stay in the East Courtyard today to help me keep an eye on someone."
Jasmine looked up and saw Wen Qingzhu mouthing a name.
She was shocked at that time.
As night falls, Yanyuan is particularly quiet tonight.
There was no movement at all in the west courtyard, but a rare light came on at the door of Qinxuan.
Wen Qingzhu asked Mrs. Jasmine and Mrs. Ji to guard the door, while she went to the woodshed.
Standing at the door of the woodshed, Mother Ye saw her coming and quickly stepped forward: "Miss, Mother Wei is already awake."
"Well, you guard the door."
After Wen Qingzhu entered, Mother Ye immediately closed the door.
There was only one light on in the room, and the light was dim.
Mother Wei was lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, but her face was still pale.
Wen Qingzhu sat down on the chair in front of the bed, and Lu Tao explained: "She has already taken the medicine, and it has been exactly two-quarters of an hour."
"Yes. Just watch carefully and I will leave this medicine to you in the future."
"Yes." Lu Tao frowned. Until now, Wen Qingzhu had not told her what the medicine was used for.
After a moment of silence, Wen Qingzhu said, "Open your eyes."
Under Lu Tao's gaze, Wei's mother slowly opened her eyes.
Although Wei's mother's eyes were dull, Lu Tao was still extremely shocked.
This, what kind of medicine is this
What happened next made Lu Tao really shocked and speechless.
Wen Qingzhu asked: "Who are you."
"Mother Wei."
Wen Qingzhu smiled. It seemed that she had completely abandoned Leng Xiang's identity in her heart.
"What was your previous name?"
"Lengxiang."
"What happened on the day the third lady, Mrs. Lu, gave birth to the fourteenth young master?"
"That day… "
Half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu stood up and looked at the sleeping mother Wei seriously.
Is this the truth
Of course Wen Qingzhu didn't believe it!
"When she wakes up tomorrow, leave her to Aunt Yue." After Wen Qingzhu finished speaking, he turned and left the woodshed.
Early the next morning, Wei's mother woke up in horror.
When she looked up, she saw Lu Tao standing in front of her.
Mother Wei stood up in a hurry, holding the edge of the bed with one hand and her head with the other, feeling groggy all over.
Why did she fall asleep
"Mother Wei, please come with me to Tingqinxuan." Lu Tao now frowned and looked at Mother Wei.
She simply couldn't imagine that such a large birthmark could be completely removed.
Hearing Lu Tao's voice, Wei's mother was suddenly startled.
She remembered!
It turned out that she was going to help Aunt Wu create the illusion that she was cheating, but was later caught by Lu Tao.
Later, it seemed that Aunt Yue came, and Miss Seven also came...
Why didn't she have any impression of what happened next
Looking around, I saw that this woodshed looked familiar.
The woodshed in the east courtyard!
How could she be in the woodshed in the east courtyard!
Lu Tao urged again: "Mother Wei!"
Mother Wei tried to stand up straight and followed Lu Tao out.
Walking out of the east courtyard, she was horrified to find that she had no idea how she got to the east courtyard!
When they arrived at Tingqinxuan, Ruhua was a little surprised.
"Miss Seventh, won't you deal with Mother Wei?"
Lu Tao smiled and said: "Miss said that Yanyuan is in charge of Aunt Yue, and Mother Wei is not from the East Courtyard. She is not easy to deal with, so it is better to leave it to Auntie."
Ruhua thought for a while and said, "How about this, Miss Lu Tao, let me meet my aunt."
"Okay." Lu Tao followed suit.
When they arrived at the house, someone had already informed Aunt Yue.
After Lu Tao saluted, he said what he told Ruhua again.
Aunt Yue nodded, and then looked at Mother Wei carefully.
Mother Wei didn't have any injuries on her body, but her face looked a little uncomfortable.
Aunt Yue accepted Mother Wei, and Lu Tao said goodbye and left.
Mother Wei stood in the house and knelt on the ground with a thud: "Auntie, please help me!"
…
After noon, Dong Ling from Huayuan asked to see him.
Wen Qingzhu was looking for his mother's relics in the small warehouse, and felt unhappy when he heard Lu Tao come to tell the time.
"Let her go directly to Aunt Yue!"
Lu Tao said sadly: "The slave said the same thing, but Dong Ling said that it was the eldest lady who told her to see the young lady!"
Ever since he learned last night that there was another secret behind Lu's death, Wen Qingzhu's coldness had not dissipated.
After listening to Lu Tao's words, Wen Qingzhu put down the things in his hands, stood up and said with a smile: "Then let's go meet him."
Lu Tao looked at Wen Qingzhu's face, smiling like a flower.
But she didn't know why, she felt inexplicably chilly.
Arriving at the front hall, Wen Qingzhu sat down with a smile on his face.
Dong Ling stepped forward and saluted. After waiting for a while, Wen Qingzhu didn't ask any questions, so she took the initiative and said, "Miss Qi, the eldest lady asked your servant to ask, can Yanyuan send people to help?"
Wen Qingzhu said with a half-smile: "Aunt Yue has already arranged these things. You just go to her and take the people away."
Slave Dong Ling smiled and asked again: "I heard that something happened in Yanyuan yesterday. Was the seventh lady shocked?"
Wen Qingzhu didn't answer, just looked at her quietly.
Dong Ling didn't wait for Wen Wen Qingzhu's reply for a long time, then she bravely looked up.
The eyes in front of her were as deep as the dark night sky, making her heart tremble uncontrollably.
Dong Ling quickly lowered his head.
Seeing this, Lu Tao pointed at Sang and scolded Huai and said, "I don't know what kind of nonsense Sister Dong Ling listened to. You tell me, watching me tear her mouth apart, I just knocked over the charcoal basin, and it turned out to be an accident!"
Dong Ling knew that he naturally had spies in Yanyuan.
Not to mention their Huayuan, every room in the Wen family, even the old lady, has spies in Yanyuan.
Therefore, the eldest lady told her not to worry and to ask Miss Qi directly.
But in just two days, what happened in Yanyuan
Miss Seven and the people around her have become so strong.
Dong Ling's face turned pale, she excused herself in a low voice, and hurriedly left the east courtyard.
Wen Qingzhu continued to return to the small warehouse to clean up his mother's belongings.
Halfway through the cleaning, Mother Ye came in with a letter.
"Miss, Mr. Fu sent it."
Wen Qingzhu stood up and took the letter, opened it and read it, his eyebrows furrowed deeper.
Lu Tao asked carefully: "Miss, what happened?"
"The Wen family is in trouble." Wen Qingzhu stood up. It seemed that this birthday banquet was destined to be unstable.
Mother Ye and Lu Tao looked at each other.
Wen Qingzhu told them about the Zimingtang incident last time. Someone deliberately wanted to frame the Wen family.
Wen Qingzhu turned to Mother Ye and said, "The third wife of the Lei family is indeed surnamed Ruan. Can you contact her here?"
Mother Ye was shocked and nodded: "If she is really Madam's friend, I can contact her."
Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll write a letter here and you can take it to her."
Now it seems that not only the Wen family and the Lei family, but also the neutral faction will start to be targeted.
Less than half a year after the death of Empress Zheng, has she already begun to blatantly seize the heir
