When the news from Baiyuan Garden reached Yanyuan, Wen Qingzhu was writing a letter.
Jasmine stood in front of her and talked about the follow-up situation there in detail: "... There was a quarrel over there in Baiyuan Garden. The old lady was still ill. She was going to kill Aunt Ding with the gardener's shovel, completely ignoring the master's wishes. To save face, a shovel almost hit the master. The master was completely angry and ordered someone to take the old lady to the Fushou Hall. The matter calmed down, but—"
Wen Qingzhu paused: "But what? Keep talking."
"There are a lot of rumors in the house now, saying that Aunt Ding is very capable. If she makes the old lady angry to death, she will be able to take over. After all, the master wanted to straighten Aunt Wu back then. Some people say that the young lady and the second wife can go away. Recently, I was helping Aunt Ding on purpose." Jasmine was a little worried about these rumors.
Putting the Xuan pen on the pen holder, Wen Qingzhu turned around and walked out.
"Have the two mothers-in-law been going out to Yanyuan frequently these days?"
"Yes." Jasmine followed her and walked outside the house.
A smile appeared on Wen Qingzhu's face: "It's time for the good young master in the big house to suffer a little."
That afternoon, Wen Qingzhu took Wen Qingmei to Zimingtang.
At night, Wen Mingqian suddenly fell into coma and had a high fever.
The boy who took care of Wen Mingqian hurriedly sent the news to the West Courtyard.
Aunt Wu was so frightened that she rushed over night and invited Dr. Song to come and see her.
After treatment and medication, it became worse.
Looking at Wen Mingqian's condition, Aunt Wu thought of Wen Qingmei's appearance a few days ago.
I suddenly became nervous and immediately told Mama You to invite the old lady.
Before the woman reached the door of Zimingtang, she felt something strange about the mother voodoo in her body.
Why is Zigu in Zimingtang
She hurried to Wen Mingqian's place, and after checking, Zi Gu was not found.
Unbeknownst to them, Wen Mingyu was too hot and left Zimingtang with the help of a servant.
After walking a little further, Wen Mingyu felt better.
He looked back at Zimingtang in confusion: What's going on? He suddenly felt hot and uncomfortable just now. Is there something in Zimingtang
In Wen Mingqian's room, the mother-in-law backed away from the servants and whispered to Aunt Wu: "Auntie, the Zi Gu may not be in Miss Twelve anymore, but should be in someone who comes in and out of Zimingtang."
"What!" Aunt Wu's face turned pale and her hands trembled.
The people in Zimingtang are all the masters and young masters of the Wen family, or teachers and guests invited by the Wen family.
"No! You have to find a way to get rid of that poison. Once the Wen family finds out that someone has been poisoned, things will be bad." When Aunt Wu was still in the Wu family, she had heard about the disaster caused by witch poison.
The mother-in-law replied calmly: "Killing the mother voodoo directly does not completely eliminate the root cause. Over time, the child voodoo will turn into a mother voodoo, and people will still be discovered by then, unless the person who was poisoned is dead."
"That's not what you said at the beginning!" Aunt Wu became frightened.
The mother-in-law said: "A woman's body has always been delicate, but a man's body is different. If the man infected by the child voodoo is strong, if the mother voodoo dies and the child voodoo loses control, it is very likely that he cannot be killed. Man, because this kind of poison is not a fatal poison with one hit."
"Then why not use a fatal Gu!" Aunt Wu suddenly screamed.
This sound woke up Wen Mingqian, and he opened his eyes drowsily: "Auntie, what are you talking about..."
Aunt Wu quickly shut up, turned around gently and said, "It's nothing, I'm just worried about you."
…
Early the next morning, Jasmine sent another message.
Aunt Wu and her mother-in-law stayed in Zimingtang all night and did not return home.
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows. Wen Mingqian's illness was caused by a mild poison that she had administered.
It will subside naturally after three days.
Of course, ordinary doctors couldn't see it, but Aunt Wu was so worried that she really took the old woman there.
He knows how to cast poison, and he also knows how to treat patients.
This woman is a witch doctor.
"Miss, Song Yan is here." Lu Tao walked in, followed by Song Yan with a face full of glory.
The two of them walked up to Wen Qingzhu, and Song Yan lifted up her clothes and knelt down.
"Thank you very much Miss Seventh for your kindness! I am willing to work for you in the future!"
"You're welcome. You didn't do anything wrong in the first place." Wen Qingzhu raised his hand and asked her to get up.
Song Yan understood in her heart that Zi Yan really framed her on purpose.
Thinking of this, she decided to hug Wen Qingzhu's thigh tightly in the future.
After getting up, Song Yan took out an invitation: "Miss, this is an invitation from the Liang family."
Wen Qingzhu took it and looked at it strangely. It turned out to be a post from the head of Pingshu County.
However, she did not post as the county owner, but as Miss Liang.
"Has this post been sent to Fushou Hall?" Wen Qingzhu understood in her heart that it was Lei Shuo who invited her.
Song Yan replied respectfully: "The first bedroom and the fourth bedroom have received this post, but when the servants sent it, they threw it away without paying attention."
"Is it because of what happened between grandma and Aunt Ding these days?" Wen Qingzhu laughed.
The Wen family has been in chaos these past few days, with Mrs. Liu and Aunt Ding fighting over each other, which has disturbed the Wen family's peace.
As the two most beloved sons of the Liu family, the families of Wen Bogui and Wen Jihua were all involved.
Song Yan lowered her head and said softly, not daring to say more.
"I understand, thank you." Wen Qingzhu gave it a try, and Jasmine took out a bag of silver.
After Song Yan thanked him again, he accepted the money and left.
Wen Qingzhu opened the invitation and looked at it. Why did the head of Pingshu County suddenly hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet
Half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu asked Wen Shuquan about this matter.
At the same time, I want to bring Wen Qingmei with me.
Wen Shuquan agreed to the matter without asking any further questions.
Another day passed, Wen Qingzhu dressed up nicely and went out with Wen Qingmei who was well dressed.
As soon as I walked out of Yanyuan, I bumped into Yang and Wen Qingxin.
"Fourth aunt? Eleventh sister?"
Yang nodded and smiled: "Xiao Qi, you must have also received the invitation from the county master."
Wen Qingzhu nodded, but he didn't expect that the fourth room would actually see the post.
"Since we met, let's go together." Although Yang was smiling, she couldn't hide the haggard look on her face.
The group of people led the maid Wen to the door of Wen's house.
This Hundred Flowers Banquet was hosted by the head of Pingshu County, and it seemed that he should have invited a lot of rich people from aristocratic families.
Not long after they left.
Aunt Lu was packing things for Wan and accidentally discovered the invitation from County Lord Pingshu.
She was immediately shocked and rushed to Fushou Hall to tell Wanshi about this.
Wan saw the post and gritted her teeth in anger.
"This Yang family has ulterior motives! No wonder she is willing to temporarily let go of the housekeeper's affairs today!" Wan's face turned green with anger, "Quick! Go to the old lady's place and call out Fang'er!"
…
When they arrived at the door of Liang's house, they handed over the invitation and followed the maid who led the way in.
As the elder, Yang naturally leads them.
But it was her first time to attend a banquet of this level, so she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Fortunately, the ladies and ladies who came in one after another didn't seem to know much about each other.
The maid led them to sit down in front of a row of banquet tables.
Wen Qingzhu looked around. The garden was very big, and there were banquets everywhere.
There were already many people sitting everywhere.
Yang glanced far away and saw an acquaintance. She immediately stood up and said, "Xin'er, come on, I'm seeing your cousin. Let's go over and say hello."
As soon as they took a step, Yang suddenly realized that Wen Qingzhu was still behind.
Yang quickly turned around and said, "Xiao Qi, aunt, go over and say hello. You'll be here soon."
"Fourth Aunt, go ahead." Wen Qingzhu nodded with a smile.
Shortly after they left, Wan arrived with Wen Qingfang and Wen Qinglan.
The moment she saw Wen Qingzhu, Wan's anger rose in her heart.
"Xiaoqi, where is your fourth aunt?" But now outside, Wanshi still tolerated it.
Wen Qingzhu stood up and replied: "Fourth Aunt saw the relatives of the Yang family and went over to say hello."
"Are there any relatives from the Yang family who can come here?" Wan Shi replied disdainfully in anger.
Wen Qingfang, who was beside her, was still calm and hurriedly reminded her: "Mom, didn't the fourth aunt have a cousin who married into the Hu family of the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
The party reacted immediately, but she was unwilling to accept it, and sarcastically said in a low voice: "So what if I marry into the Hu family! She is a serious official wife, and I don't even bother to talk to her!"
After sitting down, Mrs. Wan quietly told Nanny Lu behind her: "Go and ask, is there anyone from the Wan family or the Xia family?"
"My slave, I obey." Nanny Lu responded and glanced sideways at Wen Qingzhu.
Fortunately, Jasmine didn't come this time.
Not long after I sat down, a pretty maid with exquisite clothes came over.
She glanced at the ladies of the Wen family and then walked up to Wen Qingzhu.
"Is this Miss Wen Qi?"
"Yes, who are you, sister?" Wen Qingzhu immediately stood up and replied. It was obvious that this maid's demeanor was very different.
Judging from her words and deeds, her rules and etiquette are very in place, as if she came from the palace.
The maid immediately laughed and said, "This slave is Qinghu who lives with the county lord. I asked the seventh lady to come over on the order of the county lord."
"Yes." Wen Qingzhu stood up, greeted Wan and left.
Qinghu took her and Green Potato Shaoyao through the moon gate and corridor.
Gradually, there are fewer and fewer people around me.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly felt wary and asked quickly: "May I ask Miss Qinghu, how long will it take?"
"The small courtyard in front." Qinghu pointed not far ahead.
To be on the safe side, Wen Qingzhu quietly prepared the drug.
But when he arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard, Wen Qingzhu saw Lei Shuo.
"Sister Shuo?" Wen Qingzhu felt relieved.
Lei Shuo looked at the two maids behind her and said, "They have to stay, you go in alone."
Wen Qingzhu was very puzzled, but he still let Lu Tao and the others stay.
After walking through the moon gate, there is a small pavilion on the left hand side.
There was a person standing inside, and his back looked very familiar.
Wen Qingzhu walked up quickly and called softly: "Brother Fu."
Fu Lie turned around, looked behind her, and explained: "There is something I need your help to see."
With that said, Fu Lie took out a brocade box.
After opening the box, a piece of gauze dyed black was placed inside.
In an instant, a fishy smell rushed towards me.
Wen Qingzhu immediately frowned: "Whose blood is on this gauze?"
Fu Lie breathed a sigh of relief and frowned: "It belongs to Mr. Wei. Five days ago, Mr. Wei's injury suddenly worsened. He sent an imperial doctor overnight to see him. He could only diagnose it as poisoning, but he couldn't tell what kind of poison it was. I thought , you could see the poison on my body before, maybe you can tell what kind of poison it is."
Wen Qingzhu picked up the gauze and sniffed it carefully. There was a greenish smell among the rancid smell.
"It's a bit strange." Wen Qingzhu put down the gauze, "This poison is most likely the Seven-Day Jue, but there is a strange smell mixed in this dirty blood. Master Wei's body is a bit complicated."
"It will take seven days to die, right?" Fu Lie became worried.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "Seven days will not kill you, but it is almost the same. If you don't detoxify after seven days, you will be a living dead. This kind of poison is very rare."
"Could it be..." Fu Lie seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head and asked Wen Qingzhu, "Then do you have any way to detoxify?"
Wen Qingzhu hesitated and said, "I can make an antidote, but I suspect there is another kind of poison in Mr. Wei's body. I can't tell it with just this dirty blood."
