794 Jealousy
A thin porcelain cup that is azure after rain, sweet and fragrant pickled osmanthus, thick golden honey, and finally a spoonful of fine white icing sugar - even though it is just a cup of osmanthus honey tea, it is delicious in making it.
After a while, seeing that the white powder had disappeared without a trace in the amber honey tea, Yuzhu showed a satisfied smile on his face and gently placed the two cups of honey tea into the agate tray aside.
"Sister, you are the most skillful with your hands. Those cooks can't make such a sweet taste!" After drinking the honey tea in her hand, Xuezhu pursed her lips, with an unfinished expression on her face.
"Silly girl, the cooks are just making tea for a living, so naturally they don't put much thought into it..." Seeing that Xue Zhu had finished the tea in her hand, Yu Zhu also picked up the teacup in her hand and sipped it slowly.
Get up: "I know you like to drink, that's why I do it every day!"
Seeing the doting expression on Yuzhu's face, Xuezhu smiled sheepishly. Although she had already become a mother, in front of this sister, Xuezhu still looked like an innocent girl, stretching out her arms carelessly.
Lazy, Xuezhu coaxed the pair of children who were playing under her knees to the nanny: "I'm going to take a nap. Sister, you should also take a rest."
"It doesn't matter, you can take care of yourself..." Seeing Xue Zhu's figure disappearing from the door, the smile on Yu Zhu's face disappeared as if it was suddenly frozen, and was replaced by a face full of hatred and jealousy.
It really makes me hate it when I think about it! When the Li family came to propose marriage, it was obvious that she, the elder sister, should be the first to take the lead, but who would have thought that it was already the time for the exchange of marriage certificates, and the matchmaker hesitated to talk about the young master of the Li family.
After asking Zhang Tiezui, a famous fortune teller in the city, to calculate his horoscopes, Nora felt that the second lady, Xuezhu, was more suitable for him.
Because the Li family was just running a small gold shop at that time, and could only be regarded as the property of a middle-aged man, so although Yuzhu was unhappy, she still generously gave up the marriage to her sister. She didn't know that she really agreed.
The blind man's iron-spoken good advice is still a snowdrop
Her horoscope is indeed a prosperous husband and wealth. In just a few years after marrying into the Li family, not only did she give birth to a pair of lively and lovely children, the business of the Li family's small gold shop also flourished, and it gradually expanded to a dozen or so joint ventures.
Hao Yinlou became one of the richest households in this city.
In contrast, her elder sister Yuzhu was not so lucky. Half a year after Xuezhu got married, Yuzhu also married into the famous Zhangji Medicine Store in the city as a young mistress. However, her husband, who was the heir to the medicine store, was frail and sick, and in the end he could not be cured.
The self-medication ended in death. After just over ten months of marriage, Yuzhu didn't even have time to leave a son and a half for Yuzhu. Naturally, Yuzhu didn't want to live the lonely and widowed years, so she went back to her parents' home.
Originally, I wanted to stay at my parents' house for more than a year, waiting for a suitable candidate, but my sister Xuezhu happened to be pregnant again at this time. Seeing that Yuzhu was bored at home alone, I asked her to stay at home for a while.
After a period of time, the two sisters can help each other take care of each other, and have someone to chat with to relieve their boredom. In this way, they can live in Li's house for a period of time.
Days later, Yuzhu discovered that Xuezhu's life was actually extremely rich and nourishing. There were as many as twenty maids and maids who were waiting for her personally. There was even a dedicated person responsible for twisting a washcloth in the morning, not to mention her gentle husband.
She is considerate, her two children are lovely, and everything goes as planned. She is so happy that she even laughs in her sleep.
The huge gap instantly caused Yuzhu to lose her psychological balance. Ever since she was a child, she had been known to be smart and beautiful among her relatives and friends, while Xuezhu was just an inconspicuous girl with yellow hair. Now the bird jumped on the branch and turned into a phoenix, and
She was a phoenix, just like a fallen chicken, living a cautious sojourn life under other people's roofs.
After several sleepless nights, Yuzhu finally made a decision - to kill Xuezhu and take back everything that originally belonged to her. Anyway, she now lives in the Li family as the sister-in-law, and she and her brother-in-law Li Nailiang are already quite familiar with each other.
, as long as Xuezhu dies, he will be the first to get the moon, and then he will be a widower and a widower. It will be a perfect match in heaven and earth.
The plan is very easy to implement. You only need to mix the same finely ground arsenic into the icing sugar when making honey tea every day. A trace amount of the poison will be dissolved in the honey tea, which is colorless and odorless. However, one cup a day will last no more than a month.
It is enough to kill Xuezhu, and no matter how skilled the doctor is, he will not detect the slightest trace of poisoning.
Speaking of which, I have to thank the short-lived ghost who opened the drug store for giving me the opportunity to learn the medicinal properties of this poison, which I just used for the current use. With a proud mood, Yuzhu slowly walked to the door,
Under the noon sun, the spacious yard is quiet and peaceful. Various seasonal flowers are in full bloom. Countless bees and butterflies shuttle back and forth among the flowers. The warm wind blows from the water in the distance, bringing a hint of coolness and refreshing...
... Soon, these will all be mine...
Death came as scheduled more than half a month later, but there was one thing that Yuzhu never imagined. Of course, she could no longer think about it now - because the deceased lying in the coffin was none other than Yuzhu herself.
Thanks to her skillful makeup skills, at first glance, Yuzhu was still as beautiful as before, as if she would wake up after just sleeping for a while. Looking at her sister in the coffin, Xuezhu cried so much that she almost fainted, because her husband was afraid that she would disturb the fetal air.
Only then did he persuade her to go aside.
"I originally wanted the sisters to be together to take care of each other and let her relax, but I didn't expect..." Long after Yuzhu was buried, Xuezhu still couldn't help feeling sorry for herself. She felt that she was too negligent.
It was not discovered early that her sister was suffering from a serious illness, which resulted in the current separation between heaven and earth. Fortunately, her husband was considerate and always comforted her, which gradually calmed her sadness.
"Nuo, this is your favorite osmanthus honey tea. I specially ordered my servant to make it." Seeing that his wife had calmed down, Li Nailiang breathed a sigh of relief. He took the tea cup from the maid's hand and handed it over, without thinking.
This immediately triggered a new round of sentimentality from my wife.
"The honey tea made by my sister is the best, but... I can't drink it now..." Xue Zhu took the tea cup and didn't drink it immediately. Instead, she placed it on the coffee table and covered her face with her hands.
He started crying again, and Li Nailiang was so panicked that he quickly put down the tea cup in his hand, walked over and comforted her repeatedly, and it took him a long time to make Xuezhu burst into laughter.
While the couple was talking, the two children playing at the tea table were not idle either. The seven-year-old sister pulled her five-year-old brother and glanced at each other with mischievous looks on their faces, and then
, while the adults were not paying attention, the two children stood on tiptoes and quickly exchanged the positions of the two cups of tea on the coffee table.
