Chapter 27 The Smell of Conspiracy
"Okay, you're the only one who talks too much! Didn't I cook another dish for the lady?" Qingqing interrupted Zijin's complaint.
"Don't talk about it, miss, I don't even have an appetite when I see potatoes right now." Zi Jin muttered softly.
Qiu Liyue suddenly paused when she reached out to chopsticks on the shredded potatoes, "Zijin, what did you say?"
"Miss, forgive me, I..."
"No, I seemed to have thought of something just now, but the thought flashed too fast and I didn't catch it. What did you just say? Say it again." Qiu Liyue interrupted Zijin.
Zi Jin thought for a while and said, "I said don't talk about Miss, I don't even have an appetite when I see potatoes."
"Not this sentence, the previous one?"
"Potatoes every day? I wonder how much benefit the potato seller brings to the kitchen?"
Potatoes every day? This sentence was swirling in Qiu Liyue's mind. In an instant, it was like a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, "Qingqing, go get those books that Concubine De gave me!"
Qingqing was puzzled and brought the book to Qiu Liyue.
Qiu Liyue was flipping through the books one by one, and suddenly she stopped. Her dark eyes were fixed on a line of words in the book without blinking. She saw that it read, "A farmer in Fuzhou accidentally ate something."
The sprouted potatoes lost their lives, which shows that the things we usually use to satisfy our hunger are not entirely reliable.
Qingqing and others noticed that Qiu Liyue's expression was not right, so they all moved closer and naturally saw this sentence.
"Miss, let me show you!" Zijin put his hand on Qiu Liyue's pulse, and after a while he shook his head, "I can't see anything abnormal."
Qiu Liyue's thoughts were swirling in her heart, "If you think about it carefully, when did we start eating potatoes? Also, is it just Ting Yuxuan who is like this? Or is this the case in all hospitals?"
"Every hospital seems to be full of potatoes. I remember I once asked, and the main kitchen said that they were going to prepare Aunt Song's medicated diet to prevent the pregnancy, so Madam ordered all meals to be simple during this period, with Aunt Song's pregnancy as the top priority." Qingqing
recalled.
"I started eating potatoes the day after Aunt Ma came back. Because I don't eat potatoes and I don't like the smell of Aunt Ma, so I remember it more clearly." Youyou, who had just walked in, said.
Qiu Liyue thought of Aunt Ma who came to chat with her from time to time, and a sneer appeared on her lips. It seemed that Aunt Ma was just a loser!
"Throw away these potatoes! You guys, come here and tomorrow..."
During breakfast the next day, Qiu Liyue still ordered the mashed potatoes and potato cakes sent from the big kitchen to be thrown away quietly.
"Miss, what should I do with these flowers?"
The filaments that were barely connected yesterday could not hold up the heavy corolla, and the whole flower fell down. The whole pot of flowers looked like a beauty who had lost her head, leaving only her slender figure.
"Bury it!" Such a bright flower is so fragile!
"Miss! Miss! It's not good!" Zijin ran in in a panic and said.
"What happened? Take a breath and talk!" Qiu Liyue motioned to Qingqing to bring Zijin a cup of tea.
Zijin shook his head and gasped, "The Ninth Princess, Princess Lixia, Miss Ning, Miss Mo, Miss Liu, and seven or eight other ladies from various houses have come to Qiu Mansion. They are now going to see Madam.
, I will come to listen to Yuxuan in a moment, and he said yes, he said he was accompanying the Ninth Princess to see the seven-color pansy that the young lady won yesterday!"
The ninth princess's name is Nalan Shi, she is Qiu Jinshan's biological sister Qiu Jinhui, also the daughter of Liangfei, and she is about to celebrate her twelfth birthday.
Pansy? Qiu Liyue glanced at the beautiful pansy in her hand. How could she have any pansy to show them now? Why did all this smell like conspiracy?
"Miss? What should I do?" Zi Jin took the viola from Qiu Liyue's hand and tried to connect it to the stem, but how could it be connected to the slender stem?
"Princess Minghui has pansy, and so does the Queen. Why do they have to come to see the young lady's pot?" Qingqing's face was full of worry.
"Why? Didn't Qiu Lixing tell them that the pansy has been folded? How could they come to see the pansy? They came to see the fun?" Qiu Liyue said lightly, with no trace of sarcasm on her lips.
, Qiu Lixing really doesn’t want to see her at all!
"Then what should we do now? They are coming soon!" Zijin said anxiously.
"I can't worry about so much now, Qingqing, take this pansy upstairs, and then..."
"Miss!" Zijin gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do this! When they want to see the pansy, you order me to go upstairs to get it. When I went downstairs, I made a mistake and rolled down. Naturally, I couldn't keep the pansy.
Now, they won’t blame the young lady!"
"Zijin!" Qiu Liyue never thought that Zijin would say such words, and her inexplicable cold heart suddenly warmed up. This mistake could not kill her, but even if the ninth princess didn't speak, then look at her
The displeased Princess Lixia will definitely take Zijin's life.
Zijin was risking his life to protect himself! In her previous life, had she ever experienced this feeling?
"No, no need!" Qiu Liyue changed her mind and said, "After they came in, you all made excuses to leave. Didn't Madam arrange for two maids named Chuntao and Chunxing to be here? With so many people, they should come too.
Help me!"
Zijin's words instantly gave Qiu Liyue an idea. Even so, she still couldn't escape the involvement, but she couldn't just suffer the crime alone!
"Miss! Miss!" Qingqiao rushed in from the door regardless of Youyou's obstruction, "Miss, Ninth Princess, and Princess Lixia have already come here accompanied by the second lady. Madam asked the eldest lady to
Go out and greet us!" Qingqiao said, glancing at the Pansy Pansy that had lost its head.
Huh! Qiu Liyue, you killed Forsythia and lied to me that this pansy was poisonous. Today is your turn! She grew up with Forsythia since she was a child, and they were very close friends. But some time ago, Forsythia
Qiao was actually killed by a stick, and she was so frightened yesterday that she stumbled to see the doctor as soon as she came back, but the doctor said that she was fine and had not been poisoned. Naturally, she remembered this in Qiu Liyue's mind.
On the head.
"I know! Let's go now! Go and reply to your lady!" Zijin said angrily.
Qingqiao came out of Tingyuxuan with a touch of pride, and soon met Qiu Lixing, who was accompanying the Ninth Princess and others. Qingqiao walked to Qiu Lixing and whispered a few words in Qiu Lixing's ear, Qiu Lixing's face
Her smile became even brighter, "My sister is ready. That seven-colored pansy is really rare in the world. Princess Ninth will be able to understand it in a moment!"
