Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 85
Xie Yu returned to her room without changing clothes. She just sat in front of the candlelight, staring at the pulsating flames, her expression changing.
The maid, Axiu, said tremblingly: “Fourth Miss, it’s not early, so rest early.”
Xie Yu suddenly raised her head and stared at Ah, with a strange expression on her face. Axiu felt a cold air rushing up from behind, whizzing coldly all over, and said nervously, “Miss Si, why are you looking at the servant like this?”
Xie Yu smiled slightly and seemed to be muttering to herself: “Isn’t it unusual for my father to be so seriously ill, how can he recover his health after a dose of Fushui?”
Axiu couldn’t help but guess: “Perhaps… what magical powers does the Wu Daochang really have?”
Xie Yu’s cold face was covered with a thin layer of ridicule: “It’s okay to deceive others. If you want to deceive me, the heat is still shallow! I don’t believe that there is such a magical power in the world, but even the big brother believes in her so much!” She subconsciously clenched the veil in her hand, and the Li Rong between her eyebrows turned into silky resentment.
Axiu was really scared when facing such a fourth lady, but she didn’t dare to say more, so she could only hang her head silently.
Xie Yu said coldly: “Fu Chaoxuan is a master of medicine and a master of Mr. Taiwu. He may have already seen that this is a poison or not a disease! She asked Wu Chunfeng to treat the disease, clearly hoping to take this opportunity to make her father more convinced of her, in front of her elder brother. Foolish. I guess… this rune is just a general antidote.”
Xie Yu’s mind turned quickly and quickly put everything together.
Axiu is only a promise and dare not answer.
The corners of Xie Yu’s lips curled up, and her smile slowly became light and fluttering: “Since he said that Fushui can cure all diseases, I would like to see how effective it is!”
When Axiu heard Xie Yu’s words, she felt even more nervous on her face: “Miss Si, what are you doing?”
Xie Yu glanced at Axiu coldly, and said in deep thought, “Now you are the only considerate girl by my side. You should know how to share my worries.”
Axiu bit her lip and said nothing. She would never forget how Mo’er died. The fourth young lady in front of her is soft and soft, she doesn’t look like that kind of vicious person from the outside, but her mind Hidden too deep, how can they guess? She knelt down and said: “The servant girl dare not, the lady is so kind to the servant girl, if you have any instructions, you can say it, the servant girl will definitely do it for the lady.”
Xie Yu smiled: “Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to die. After all, there are not many people available around me. I just hope you will keep an eye on that side for me. Any disturbances must be reported as soon as possible… …”
“Yes.” Axiu crawled on the ground, trembling and unable to say a word.
Xie Kanghe recovered from his illness and lost his appetite. Wang Baozhen prepared breakfast for him. He also only drank half a bowl of gruel, thinking about the books in the study that had not yet been processed, and struggling to sit down in the study. Before I could open it, I heard the maidservant come in and report: “Master, Miss Jiang, please.”
Xie Kanghe smiled involuntarily on his face and said, “Let her come in.”
As soon as Jiang Xiaolou entered the door, he saw Xie Kanghe sitting at the desk and sighed: “Uncle, you are too impatient, and your body has just improved. If you catch the wind, wouldn’t your condition be more serious?”
Xie Kanghe closed the page: “I have been lying in bed for more than half a month, and my bones are numb. It is so easy to get up and walk around. Don’t be nagging all day like Aunt Wang, I just come out and sit down. , It may matter.”
Jiang Xiaolou’s voice eased like a spring breeze: “As the saying goes, sickness comes like a mountain, and sickness goes like a thread. It’s not a day or two if you want to get better. Uncle should just put aside these mundane tasks and go back and rest. If there is anything. If things have to be dealt with, just leave it to the eldest son.”
Xie Kanghe smiled and said: “You child, I certainly know your intentions, but many businesses are handled by me. I can’t fake my hands with others. It’s better to handle it myself.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaolou no longer discouraged him, but just sat quietly, holding up the tea cup but not drinking it, seeming to say casually: “Uncle’s body has always been healthy, but this time he said he was sick, but there is no sign of it.”
Xie Kanghe himself felt strange: “The doctor said that this illness was caused by occasional cold and internal irritation. Perhaps my meridian is blocked, my body is weak, and the evil wind drives straight in, so I will be dying.”
Jiang Xiaolou lowered his eyelids, concealing the shallow cold light in his eyes: “My uncle first coughs and doesn’t think about eating or drinking, then he has a high fever, a headache and a soft body, until he is bedridden and dying. If it’s an ordinary cold. , Why are so many doctors unable to treat? Has uncle thought about this problem seriously?”
When Xie Kanghe heard this, his brows were knotted: “Xiaolou, what do you mean by this?”
Jiang Xiaolou’s expression was only calm, not rushing: “If my uncle doesn’t blame me, I can speak clearly.”
This move confused Xie Kanghe. He wondered if he had just fallen ill. But seeing Xiaolou’s solemnity, is there anything wrong with it?
“Go ahead and I will listen carefully.”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled: “After Dr. Fu’s diagnosis and treatment, he said that you were unusually cold and could not prescribe medications easily, so he wrote a letter to Mr. Taiwu describing the symptoms of his uncle’s illness in detail. Later, Mr. Taiwu wrote back and said in the letter- —” Jiang Xiaolou paused for a while, “Uncle’s illness should be poisoning.”
Xie Kanghe was shocked and stood up suddenly: “You mean-poisoning?”
Jiang Xiaolou nodded and said, “Yes, it’s not the wind chill but the poisoning. This is Mr. Taiwu’s judgment. However, this matter is very important, and I dare not talk about it to others.”
Xie Kanghe sat back on the chair again, and did not respond for a long time. He was poisoned…
Jiang Xiaolou knew that it was difficult for him to accept, but he still asked without hesitation, “has there been any changes in your diet during the recent period?”
Xie Kanghe changed his color instantly, and only felt cold in his hands and feet: “It’s no different from usual, and my diet is handled by Aunt Wang herself. If something goes wrong, could it be her–”
Seeing Xie Kanghe suspecting Wang Baozhen, but showing a look of disbelief on his face, Jiang Xiaolou didn’t break it, but just smiled lightly: “Since that person has made up his mind to kill his uncle, he will kill him a second time if he fails to do it once. One point, the person who can poison the poison must be the people close to you. Xiaolou dare to ask, if you find the poisoner, can you deal with it cruelly?”
Xie Kanghe looked solemnly: “If Aunt Wang really did…I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.”
When Jiang Xiaolou saw that he only suspected Aunt Wang, he paused for a while, and after all he sighed: “Uncle’s people come and go frequently, some people…maybe you didn’t notice it at all.”
“Xiaolou, what you said only made me more and more confused. Aunt Wang handles everything about me, can anyone else besides her?”
A faint smile appeared on Jiang Xiaolou: “You don’t have to be anxious, everything will come to light.”
The two were talking, but the study door was knocked suddenly. Xie Kanghe was startled and looked up and said, “Come in!”
Xie Yu wore a pomegranate dress, with only one crystal butterfly hairpin between her jet-black hair. The butterfly wings were exquisitely cut in the sun, shaking gently with her walking posture. The makeup of this suit made her dark lacquer eyes cold and squiggly.
She held a red lacquered wood tray in her hand with a fragrant white fungus soup, and smiled softly on her face: “Father, you only used some gruel in the morning, and my daughter specially prepared a bowl of snacks. Please use it first, so as to cushion your hunger.” After speaking, she walked up curledly, and placed the white fungus soup on the desk gently.
At this moment, Xie Kanghe stared at her with a very strange look, as if suddenly thinking of something.
Xie Yu was so sensitive, tears burst into her beautiful eyes, and she was surprised: “Father, why do you stare at your daughter with such eyes? Did I do something wrong?”
Xie Kanghe was taken aback for a moment, and his tone couldn’t hide his temptation: “Perhaps…I wasn’t sick before, but someone moved their hands and feet in the usual diet.”
Xie Yu’s heart moved, and instead of arguing with Xie Kanghe, she turned to face Jiang Xiaolou, and her expression became extremely cold: “Jiang Xiaolou, since you came to Xie’s house, you have always made a lot of inexplicable things. What is your heart? My father was only occasionally feeling cold, but you insisted that someone poisoned him. On weekdays, his diet was prepared by Aunt Wang, and you clearly blamed her. But you don’t want to think that she has served her father for many years, without credit and hard work. You just came here, She took care of her carefully, saying that she would not be afraid of being struck by lightning?”
Even if she was angry, her whole person also revealed a gorgeous to the extreme beauty, still pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Xiaolou was not irritated. She just stood up and the corners of her lips curled slightly: “Why Miss Fourth Miss is filled with righteous indignation? I have never doubted Aunt Wang, you don’t have to get angry and hurt your body. It’s just that…” A pair of wonderful eyes lightly fell on the bowl of white fungus soup.
Xie Yu noticed it immediately, and her face became extremely ugly: “So you are suspecting me? That’s all! I will drink this bowl of white fungus soup to see if it is the one behind the ghost!” She held it up with one hand. Just drink it.
Xie Kanghe quickly grabbed her wrist, Xie Yu raised her face, tears filled her eyes, and looked like weeping: “Father, my daughter is so wronged!”
Jiang Xiaolou could not help but shook his head and chuckled when he saw her hypocritically.
Xie Kanghe thought about it and couldn’t bear it after all, and said to Jiang Xiaolou: “Xiaolou, maybe you made a mistake…I believe there is no such cruel person in the family. Yu’er, give me the white fungus soup.”
Xie Kanghe is too old-fashioned, he doesn’t believe that someone in his family is so cruel that he will kill him. But how could he know that there are always white-eyed wolves who are unfamiliar with feeding.
Seeing him serving the white fungus soup and drinking it one by one, Jiang Xiaolou smiled slightly: “Xiaolou’s words are all here, please be careful, uncle. My things have been packed, and I will move out in the next few days Don’t forget to go to Jiang’s house after your uncle’s recovery.”
Xie Yu stared at Jiang Xiaolou coldly, and the corners of her lips seemed to be smiling or not.
Xie Kanghe nodded: “This will definitely happen.”
Seeing Jiang Xiaolou leaving, Xie Yu said with tears in her eyes: “Father, you are so kind to me, how could I harm you–”
Xie Kanghe waved his hand and stopped her words, with a gentle voice: “I believe you. But Yuer, don’t be too sensitive. What Xiaolou said is just a guess, and it does not mean that she is deliberately derogating someone, so don’t worry about it. on.”
Xie Yu’s eyes were full of tears, and she was greatly aggrieved: “Yes, Yu’er remembers.”
Xie Kanghe sighed softly: “Don’t mention this matter to Aunt Wang, lest something will happen.” He couldn’t help but cough as he finished speaking.
Xie Yu’s concern was overwhelming: “Father, you are the support of the family. You must take care. What you must do in the future is to tell Yuer at any time. I will try my best to do it for you. Don’t be so hard. I feel sick, how distressed I am.”
She speaks swearly, gentle and naive.
Xie Kanghe nodded with satisfaction: “Good boy, you are the most intimate among the daughters.”
Xie Yu leaned his head lightly on Xie Kanghe’s arms, and the slender neck showed a beautiful curve. At this moment, her eyes burst out with a gloomy chill, but it is a pity that Xie Kanghe patted her back with emotion, but did not see the terrible expression in her drooping eyes. After a while, she raised her head and said with concern: “Father, it’s too much trouble to read the account book. You should rest early.”
“No, I feel uncomfortable sitting on the bed—”
“Then… My daughter ordered someone to pick and choose a few books from the study and move them over…”
Painting floor
Li Xuening was instructing her maids to pack things up. Seeing Jiang Xiaolou coming, Li Xuening smiled and said, “You said you should say goodbye to Uncle Xie, are you ready?”
Jiang Xiaolou nodded: “It’s all agreed.”
Li Xuening’s exquisite heart, when she saw her hesitating to say something, she asked, “Is there anything unspeakable?”
Jiang Xiaolou instructed all the maidservants to retreat before sitting down and said: “Xue Ning, I always find this matter very strange. The person who is most suspected of poisoning is Wang Baozhen, but she is a careless and kind-hearted person. But she is sincere. What’s more, my uncle is still very young. If he is gone at this moment, the family will also fall. After all, the second son has not yet reached the point of holding up the facade or contending with the older son. Therefore, she should not Self-destroying the city wall, but how did uncle’s illness arise?”
Li Xuening was stunned and couldn’t help reminding: “No matter what the cause, this is the Xie family’s business. We are going to leave soon. You should also worry less, so that others will always say that everything that happened in Xie’s family is with you. Related, why bother?”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled: “The mouth is on someone else’s face, and I can’t seal it up, just let them say it. Uncle is kind to me, how can he be indifferent because he is afraid of people’s gossip. No matter what, I will get this person out. .”
“But I don’t understand. Since it’s a drug treatment, why should we invite Wu Chunfeng to come?” Doctor Fu is invited to treat the disease, and it is logical to uncover the poisoning. But what is the effect of asking Wu Chunfeng to come?
Jiang Xiaolou just lowered his head to drink tea, his long eyelashes hung down, forming a faint shadow on his eyelids: “You will understand soon.”
Xie Kanghe just recovered, but Xie Yu is sick again. At first, her symptoms were not as severe as Xie Kanghe, but gradually they became exactly the same, bedridden for three consecutive days. Everyone was very strange, and they hurriedly invited Wu Chunfeng to come again. Wu Chunfeng looked at her and said, “It’s strange that I have the same symptoms as Master Xie back then. How could the two have the same disease? Will the disease still be contagious?”
When Xie Xiang heard it, he immediately took two steps back subconsciously, covering his nose and said: “If it is contagious, let’s go out first. If it is accidentally passed on, it will cost our lives.”
When Xie Kanghe saw Xie Xiang say this, he gave her a fierce look. This daughter is extremely selfish, and at this time she still considers this kind of problem! At this time, Xie Yu on the bed coughed again and again, and her voice was extremely weak, as if the same igniting seedling wind blew away: “If this is the case, you should go out first. Don’t argue because of me…”
Xie Xiang was about to take a step, but he heard Xie Kanghe say coldly: “Stop, no one is allowed to leave!”
Xie Xiang’s whole body froze, and the feet that stepped out were retracted awkwardly, her sweet face overwhelmed.
Xie Kanghe eased his tone: “If things are urgent and follow the power, I can’t avoid suspicion. No matter what, please ask Mr. Wu to save Yu’er.”
Wu Chunfeng sighed, “Okay, I will do my best.” He also brought a bowl of water to Xie Yu according to the method used to treat Xie Kanghe last time, and said softly: “Miss Si, you only need to do this. After drinking Fushui, the disease will be cured in less than a moment.”
Xie Yu glanced at Xie Kanghe, and saw that he nodded slightly to himself, then sat up, supported by his maid, Axiu, and took two trembling sips. With a thin lips, he exhaled a faint breath. .
Jiang Xiaolou looked on coldly, his expression was just ordinary. Xie Kanghe said with concern: “Is it better?”
Xie Yu nodded with a pale face, Axiu gently put the bowl aside, and was about to help her lie down. Who knows Qingsi hasn’t been against the pillow, she suddenly screamed, a white hand suddenly tightened the curtain, and the other hand held her belly and cried out for pain.
Xie Kanghe was shocked, and hurriedly asked Wu Chunfeng: “Daoist, what’s going on?”
Wu Chunfeng didn’t expect this situation to happen, and was stunned for a while. He glanced at Jiang Xiaolou subconsciously. In fact, this Fushui was not a cure for illness, but an antidote prescribed by Fu Chaoxuan after consulting Mr. Taiwu. As long as the poisoning is not deep, there is a possibility of detoxification. Even if the poisoning is deep, it will never aggravate the condition, but why Xie Yu has such symptoms… This is really strange!
While thinking about it, Xie Yu was already sweating with pain, and was almost dying. Axiu frowned with fright, cold sweat: “Miss, what’s wrong with you?”
Xie Yu was about to speak, but a mouthful of scarlet blood spurted out, and then fell softly on his back.
This scene was too scary. Everyone showed horror on their faces, so that Xie Kanghe ignored his manners and grabbed Wu Chunfeng’s sleeves and said, “Wu Daochang, what’s the matter?”
Everyone was waiting for Wu Chunfeng’s explanation, but Wu Chunfeng’s face was full of iron, and said nothing.
Xie Liancheng was the only one who maintained his composure. He just stood aside and looked at Xie Yu quietly, with inexplicable disappointment and coldness in his eyes.
Jiang Xiaolou said indifferently: “This is not a disease, but a poisoning.”
Everyone looked at each other, Axiu seemed to think of something, open her mouth to speak, but looked very nervous.
Xie Yizhou asked, “What’s wrong with you? Just tell me if you have anything to say!”
Axiu hesitated and said: “If someone poisoned them, the slave and maid would not be able to believe it anyway. After all, the master and the fourth lady are eating in different bowls. Is there anyone who can poison both of them at the same time? This is absolutely impossible…”
Xie Yue frowned and said, “Apart from diet, are there other things that I have come into contact with in common?”
Axiu was stunned: “This… the slave girl really can’t think of it.” After a while, she suddenly remembered something, “Ah, by the way, when Miss Fourth was sorting out the book for the master yesterday afternoon, she borrowed a collection of Jiannan poetry. I came back and said it was a treasure. I watched it all night and fell ill this morning…”
Xie Kanghe was taken aback, and immediately ordered: “You take it and let me take a look.”
Axiu hurriedly went to hold the book, Xie Kanghe clutched the book and turned a few pages, but did not see any problems.
At this time, Doctor Liu was also hurriedly invited. Xie Kanghe handed him the collection of poems and said: “Please take a good look at this book, is there any problem?”
Doctor Liu took the collection of poems from Xie Kanghe in doubt, put it under his nose and smelled it, and said, “Go get the knife.”
Axiu hurriedly fetched a small knife. Doctor Liu gently cut a corner of the paper with the knife, and ordered the maid to bring a basin of clean water and gently soak the paper in the clean water. Soon, the writing on the paper slowly blurred, the ink evaporated, and half a basin of water was dyed a faint blue color. Doctor Liu picked up the water and smelled it, dipped it and tasted it, and then affirmed: “This water has a This kind of slight bitterness, the tip of the tongue will tingle when touched, which is very wrong! In my opinion, it should be a very strong poison—”
Xie Kanghe was shocked: “Doctor Liu, can you take this seriously?”
Doctor Liu nodded without hesitation: “Naturally it is true——”
Wang Baozhen couldn’t help being shocked: “How can you get poisoned just by reading?”
Doctor Liu said, “Master Xie loves this book very much. He often reads it, accumulating and becoming more toxic. As for Miss Fourth, just watching it overnight shouldn’t be enough…unless Miss Fourth has the habit of turning the book with saliva!”
Axiu looked shocked: “Yes, Doctor Liu, my lady does this often.”
Doctor Liu sighed, “Looking through with saliva, the poison will enter the human body directly from the mouth through the fingers, and it does not take a few hours for the poison to strike.”
Xie Kanghe squeezed the collection of poems in his hand, almost the whole person was stupid.
When Xie Yizhou heard this, his eyebrows were full of indignation: “Father, who on earth gave you this collection of Jiannan poems? It took such a great effort to poison you. The methods are really outrageous!”
Xie Kanghe slowly sat on the chair, his face turned stiff and cold: “No, I bought this collection of Jiannan poetry from outside.”
An imperceptible sneer flashed across Wang Baozhen’s face, but he tactfully persuaded him: “Master, when will you have to cover her up! This Jiannan poetry collection is clearly–”
Not waiting for her to finish, Xie Kanghe’s forehead blue veins violently, suddenly shouted: “I can’t stop talking!”
“I gave the collection of poems.” Just at this moment, a voice sounded.
Everyone looked at Jiang Xiaolou, who had been standing aside silently, but saw that her expression was calm, her smiling face was like a flower, and she didn’t appear to be half-hearted.
Xie Yizhou stepped forward and said coldly: “Miss Jiang, let me ask you, is the Jiannan Poetry Collection really a gift for your father?”
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes were calm and there was no discoloration: “Yes, I did everything possible to give this book of poems to Uncle Xie, because he particularly liked the former poet Guang Jiannan, but it was just a little thought. What’s wrong? ”
Xie Xiang understood everything now, knowing that he had the opportunity to drive away Jiang Xiaolou, he burst into joy from the bottom of his heart, but said angrily on his face: “There is nothing wrong with the poetry collection, you are the one who is wrong!”
Jiang Xiaolou was a little surprised: “Me, did I do something?”
Xie Yue was aside, just leaning on Wang Baozhen with indifferent eyes, and wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Xie Xiang’s brain turned swiftly, Yanhong’s little mouth clicked, and pours beans like: “You still don’t admit it when you die? This Jiannan poetry collection was clearly poisoned by you. Your original intention was to poison your father. Who knows your father? Fu Da Ming has survived, and now you want to harm the fourth sister! Jiang Xiaolou, what a venomous heart!”
Jiang Xiaolou was not angry when he heard the words, his eyes fell on Xie Kanghe, with a gentle expression: “Uncle kindly took me in. I should be grateful for him. What reason is there to poison people in Jiannan Poems?”
Xie Xiang was dumb for a while, and looked at Xie Yue as if calling for help.
Of course Xie Kanghe thought the same way, just about to defend Jiang Xiaolou. But I heard Xie Yue slowly say: “Father, this is not impossible. Think about it, if it wasn’t for the poison from Jiang Xiaolou, where did she get the antidote? Even if the doctor is really prepared to get the medicine, she You can also ask Doctor Fu to treat your father according to the truth. Why did she use Daochang Wu’s hand? I guess she wanted to use Daochang Wu’s so-called magical powers to deceive your father into more trust. First poison, then detoxify, My father must be grateful to her and trust her a hundredfold. By then, what she wants to do will be twice the result with half the effort.”
Many mouths are gold, but a hundred mouths cannot be argued. The so-called wall is pushed down by everyone. When you are questioned, more and more bystanders will join in and trample desperately, but they all use their tongues and lotus flowers to cover up their ulterior goals. The so-called human heart is the most evil in this world, it is extremely cold and terrifying. Many people will shrink back in the face of such attacks, but Jiang Xiaolou sneered coldly: “Miss Xie, don’t you think your imagination is too rich? I will poison my uncle, and then ask Wu Daochang to detoxify. What are you going to get for such a great effort?”
In the end, Xie Yue was more calm than Xie Xiang, and her voice was soft and authentic: “A beautiful face is mostly hiding dirt and dirt. Jiang Xiaolou, you poisoned and detoxified your father. It seems incredible on the surface. The real reason is obvious. If it is revealed, you turned down your father’s request in front of us on impulsiveness before, but you can think about it, Xie’s family has so many shops and properties, so you regret it and want to divide the half. But the words have been spoken and there is no face to mention it again. He came out, so I wrote, directed, and acted in this play. It saved my father’s life and won countless gratitudes. At that time, you don’t have to say anything, my father will naturally give up everything about the Xie family. It is indeed a good calculation! It’s just too brazen.”
Miss Xie Si didn’t need to show up, she fluttered to provoke everyone’s hostility towards Jiang Xiaolou, and she could kill two birds with one stone as long as she lay down weakly and pretended to be the victim. It can be seen that Xie Yu is not stupid, she is a sober lunatic, so sober that can accurately judge the mind of everyone in the family, and quickly make the decision that is most beneficial to her, leaving people to death in silence.
Everyone in the world has his own starting point and subjective purpose in doing things, and there is no love and hate for no reason. Xie Yu aimed at Jiang Xiaolou in this way, really just jealous of her being favored by Xie Kanghe? No, it is impossible.
Jiang Xiaolou was surrounded by such ridiculous thesis, and he only felt that the heads of these people in front of him were sealed by the paste, which is generally unreasonable. Wang Baozhen thought she would become irritated, but she just smiled and said, “Oh, did I think that?” She seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be asking other people.
Wang Baozhen’s face was just right and sad: “Jiang Xiaolou, Jiang Xiaolou, how can you do such a thing! How much do you trust the master, and almost treat you as your own daughter, how do you return him? Even if you regret it. If you want to thank the family’s property, just say it straightforwardly. Why do you want to kill someone. Now Miss Si is still lying on the bed, please raise your hand and let her go!”
Jiang Xiaolou did not change his color: “Justice is in the hearts of the people.”
Xie Liancheng looked at everyone in the family, except for his dad who was shocked and at a loss, as well as the sons and daughters of the Xie family who were thoughtful and aggressive. He vaguely felt that the cold feeling that had enveloped him for many years had gradually spread to his limbs. Before entering the door today, Jiang Xiaolou once asked him not to interfere in anything that happened, but now seeing what they did made him feel extremely ashamed.
For money, for jealousy, these people are crazy. Jumping up and down, hiding a knife in a smile, every word and every sentence, sinister and cunning, all the gentle masks in the usual days are torn, revealing the hideous essence inside. The appearance of Jiang Xiaolou successfully evoked the most vicious and unbearable look in their hearts. The faces in front of them were distorted and their mouths were crooked. No, maybe even their hearts became dirty. , But still complacent and pretentious.
He just watched, his eyes cold.
Xie Xiang sneered: “There was Jiannan Poetry Collection first, and his father was cured. Now the fourth sister is ill again. The root of everything is in this book. Tell me, what reason can you prove your innocence? .”
Jiang Xiaolou looked at Wu Chunfeng with a smile as before: “Since you all want to know, then come with me.” After she said she quickly walked to the inner room separated by a curtain. Everyone saw her walk to the bedside, towards Xie Yu who was in a coma, and slowly said, “Miss Si, the play should be over by this stage.”
Xie Yu on the bed was motionless and did not respond.
Xie Yizhou stepped forward and said coldly: “Jiang Xiaolou, my four sisters are delirious and dying, please be polite to her.” Seeing him coveting Jiang Xiaolou on weekdays, now he is stern. Very indifferent, everything is based on self-interest.
Jiang Xiaolou smiled softly: “Everything can’t just look at the surface, especially for a woman who is as beautiful as Miss Fourth, but with a vicious heart. Just now you said that Uncle Xie’s health improved after drinking Fushui. But his condition has worsened. How can this be explained?”
Seeing that the key question was asked, Axiu couldn’t help but tremblingly said: “Slaves, slaves–” She was halfway talking. Seeing Jiang Xiaolou’s beautiful eyes suddenly looked at her, her heart was chilled and she could hardly speak. Subconsciously glanced at Xie Yu, who had a pale face, and finally sternly said: “All these slaves and maidservants know it, all because Miss Four suspects that these things were deliberately designed, and they have been investigating secretly. Ms. Jiang may be afraid. Things were revealed, so…”
Originally vague and full of loopholes, when one party is victimized, it appears so credible and true.
Everyone looked at Jiang Xiaolou with a natural look. Even though the so-called evidence was mostly hypocritical suspicion, it was from the purposes of all parties. They still stood together, not holding back the black man behind the scenes lying on the bed pretending to be dying. Without a single word, Xiang Jiang Xiaolou pressed on, sharply facing each other. The darkness of the human heart, the despicable means, the indifference of the people, and all kinds of self-righteous superiority are actually just accomplices.
Such a Xie family is not worth staying.
Jiang Xiaolou watched the fire in his heart, and smiled lightly on his face: “Uncle wanted to transfer the property to me. I rejected it because of a moment of righteous indignation. Afterwards, I regretted it. So I made up and acted in this play by myself. I am more grateful for my life-saving grace, so that I can leave all the property to me. Miss Si discovered my conspiracy, so I instigated Dao Wu to put heavier poison in the water, and then only said that Miss Si was sick. If you are too heavy to be cured, you can get away. In this way, you will get rid of those who doubt me, and you will get your uncle’s reuse. It makes sense, but it’s a pity that it may not be without loopholes.”
Xie Yu sneered, if it weren’t for your Jiang Xiaolou’s selfishness, why use Wu Chunfeng’s hand to pretend to be a fool, and want to make a big contribution in front of his father and behave well-it is your selfishness that hurt you!
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Jiang Xiaolou sat on the side of the bed and stretched out his hand to stroke Xie Yu’s Qingsi.
“What are you doing!” Xie Yue was surprised.
Xie Yu originally closed her eyes, only to feel that a pair of gentle hands were on her cheeks, and her hairs were standing upside down. She quickly opened her eyes and only heard Jiang Xiaolou smile and say: “Miss Si, you still have to Put it on?”
Seeing her dying and struggling, Wang Baozhen comforted: “Miss Jiang, things have reached this point. You might as well admit a mistake and return the antidote to our fourth lady to save her life. I think the master is generous and will never blame you. of.”
Xie Kanghe sternly reprimanded: “Don’t talk nonsense, I don’t believe this!”
Xie Yue sighed deeply: “Father, you are too partial. The facts are in front of you. Could it be that so many of us have made an appointment to frame her?” When his father was critically ill, only Jiang Xiaolou was left alone. If she is allowed to stay again Next, I don’t know who belongs to this Xie family!
Jiang Xiaolou’s lips smiled as always, lightly and authentically: “There is nothing in the water, just a bowl of clear water.”
Wu Chunfeng was stunned, and even stared at Jiang Xiaolou with wide eyes. Didn’t she say that there is an antidote in Fushui?
Fluttershy watched from the side, and couldn’t help but sneer at this moment: “Yes, it’s just a bowl of clear water. Miss Fourth’s poison is added to the poison, it’s really strange!”
After hearing this, Xie Yu’s face turned pale, and she subconsciously opened her mouth to defend herself, making her mouth dumb.
Jiang Xiaolou sighed: “This farce should be understood by now. Of course, it is not me who poisoned the Jiannan Poetry Collection, but the Fourth Miss Xie Yu. I heard that she often volunteered to clean the study room for her uncle. Filial piety is much easier to approach Uncle Xie than I am an outsider. However, there is one thing that Doctor Liu said earlier that the book is non-toxic, and the toxic is ink. More accurately, the toxic is inkstone, and every time I study ink Then the poison will evaporate and fall on the paper, making it even more toxic. My uncle cherishes this book too much, and every page is annotated. You should know who the ink researcher is for you, right?
Xie Kanghe’s face instantly turned pale, he looked at Xie Yu on the bed, and the love in his eyes had become shock and disappointment. He didn’t believe in those people in his bones, so what Wanfu pointed out, he didn’t say a word, but when Jiang Xiaolou pleaded for himself, he immediately chose to believe her.
“Yu’er, I’m not thin to you, why do you do this?”
The blood on Xie Yu’s face faded away in an instant, Jiang Xiaolou, you deliberately exposed your flaws and made me think that you are selfish. In fact, you set up a full set and waited for me to get in! The water is non-toxic, but the poison is added to it. The original pitiful becomes a farce, and the original victim becomes a conspirator.
However, under the rage, she slowly calmed down, sat up from the bed, and slowly sorted out her blue silk, then looked up at Xie Kanghe: “Yes, you are kind to me, and I am the most helpless. At that time I was brought back to Xie’s house, and even treated me as my own daughter. But what about that, who really looks down on me in the house? In your eyes, I’m just an orphan with a wagging tail, every time you are away. Cynical sarcasm, face-to-face humiliation, when you come back, they behaved like sisters and loved each other again. Huh, what a good house is just a group of hypocritical hypocrites; what noble character is just a painter who is piled up by money!”
Xie Kanghe was stunned, Jiang Xiaolou’s tone was flat: “Even you look down on yourself, how can you make others look down on you?”
“Shut up! No matter how frustrated I am, I don’t need you to teach it!” Xie Yu was still calm in front of others, but Jiang Xiaolou aroused her immense anger when she spoke, and her thin red lips were sharp as a knife: ” It’s all because of you, and everything is because of you! If it weren’t for your existence, I would still be the well-behaved fourth lady of the Xie family as before. My father spoiled me, and my eldest brother liked me, instead of looking at me with strange eyes. Look at me! They all say I am jealous of you, so they embarrass you everywhere. But Jiang Xiaolou, let me ask you, what is the difference between you and me, are all homeless orphans, why do you have everything, And I have nothing! Why are you robbing me of everything?”
Hearing what she said was so weird, and his expression was full of anger, Jiang Xiaolou couldn’t help shaking his head: “I have never robbed you, and now I am leaving Xie’s house. It is really unnecessary for you to do so.”
“Leaving Xie’s house, will you never see your big brother?”
After saying a word, everyone showed incredible expressions.
Xie Kanghe’s heart sank, and suddenly realized something, he couldn’t help but sternly said: “Yu’er, what did you say?”
Xie Yu knows that the words have been spoken, she can no longer change, she coldly said: “You don’t claim to care about me, how can you not know your daughter’s thoughts? I tell you, from the first time I saw my eldest brother, I noticed him! At that time, I secretly thought countless times that one day my father would let me marry my eldest brother, but what is the truth? You accepted me as the daughter of the Xie family and became the fourth lady of the Xie Mansion. My name has been determined, and my eldest brother can never be together again! Since you love me, why don’t you ask me what I want in my heart! What is the identity of the fourth lady of the Xie family, what rich and wealthy dowry, I am not rare! What I want is Xie Liancheng!”
Xie Liancheng looked at her, there was no wave in his eyes. The woman in front of her was the younger sister he had taken care of, but now she has become a completely strange woman, with an abominable face and fear in life.
Jiang Xiaolou looked at Xie Yu and understood everything. But she and Xie Liancheng are just ordinary friends, and they have aroused such a big jealousy, wouldn’t they be wronged?
Xie Kanghe burst into blue veins on her forehead, pointing to her angrily and said: “Nonsense, full of nonsense! You wicked girl, you can say such shameless words, for so many years…it’s just…it hurts you for nothing. .”
Xie Yu burst into laughter. She may not admit it or beg desperately, but she has had enough! The resentment accumulated in her chest surged, her wonderful eyes and tears in her left eye were very beautiful and moving: “You love me, what about you? Since you love me, you should give me everything I want, why do I I can’t just fall in love with my eldest brother! And what is this Jiang Xiaolou? Compared to me, she is too far behind! Just because of your love, she has become a treasure in this mansion, and everyone bows to her. And what about me, what can I do? I’m just a forgotten fourth lady! Not only that, you also killed my nurse, leaving me alone and helpless. This is what you call the father and daughter. Love? I tell you, I am not rare, I am not rare at all!”
Love and jealousy are not reasons for madness, but the other party has no intention of repentance!
Xie Kanghe has a gentle temperament, and rarely has such a rage, his anger has reached its extreme at this moment, and he slapped her heavily: “Shut up! Are you trying to make my Xie family the laughingstock of the whole world?”
Xie Yu laughed uncontrollably: “I don’t care, I don’t care about anything, the only person I care about is my elder brother.”
Everyone looked at Xie Liancheng with inexplicable expressions.
Xie Liancheng’s tone was extraordinarily calm, but with a bone-chilling cold: “Xie Yu, you shouldn’t say such things to your father.”
Xie Yu pushed Xie Kanghe away and rolled out of bed. He rushed to Xie Liancheng in full view, clasped his arm tightly, and said grievingly: “Big brother, how can I not compare to Jiang Xiaolou, in terms of beauty and talent, I I don’t want to lose to her in everything! I don’t want the identity of the fourth lady of the Xie family, I don’t need anything, as long as you let me stay by my side, even if you are a handmaid, as long as you can look at you from a distance and stay with you every day I am willing! I am willing! Brother, take a look at me, why don’t you take a look at me!”
Xie Liancheng looked at Xie Yu for a long time, but was silent. Afterwards, he raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Xiaolou, and saw that the other person had a completely inexplicable expression, and then slowly said: “This matter has nothing to do with Miss Jiang. Whether she exists or not, I cannot fall in love with you. . You are my sister, who will live forever and never change.”
At this point, his face was lost. There are even younger sisters who love their elder brothers. Even if they are not blood relatives, they still dare to shout out loudly, even if they are not blood relatives. It is simply… after all, Wang Baozhen has been a housekeeper for many years, for fear of being said that she has no way to discipline her, she hurriedly said loudly: “Hurry up and pull the fourth lady away!”
When several mothers heard the words, they immediately went up to catch Xie Yu, and Xie Yu, like a drowning man, grabbed the only duckweed, and screamed, “Big Brother, Big Brother!” Her sorrowful eyes were distraught at the moment. Looking desperately at Xie Liancheng, full of pleading.
Xie Liancheng flicked away her hand little by little: “Sister Si, you are sick and need to be cured.”
Xie Yu was dragged away and forced to one side. Her weak and crying voice kept tearing at everyone’s eardrums. Xie Xiang subconsciously pressed her heart with her kerchief, so scared that she didn’t dare to say: “Xie Yu is really crazy. It’s scary!”
Xie Rou looked at Xie Chun with a look of disbelief. She hesitated and said: “What did she just say, the one she loves is the eldest brother, am I dreaming?”
Xie Chun opened his mouth wide and didn’t know how to answer, and was completely shocked by the ups and downs of the drama.
Wang Baozhen’s expression was uncertain, Xie Yue was silent, Xie Yizhou lowered her eyes. This is the end of the matter, and their behavior just now has turned into a clown and a stumbling block. It would be a good idea to settle the accounts afterwards.
Xie Kanghe seemed to want to walk to the suppressed Xie Yu, but eventually he stumbled a bit. He could only sit down on a chair with a sullen face, his face pale, and he could not speak for a long time: “This matter… Don’t mention it. I’ll send Xie Yu to the Antang tomorrow and let her go home.”
Xie Yu was suppressed by everyone, one of the blue silks was scattered, and his cold face was full of tears. However, those eyes showed a bit of resentment and cast straight towards Jiang Xiaolou.
Jiang Xiaolou, Jiang Xiaolou, Jiang Xiaolou…Her heart was already reciting the name over and over like weeping blood, and the hatred was overwhelming and almost wiped out.
