Chapter 378 New Year’s Eve Dinner (1)

Of course, Lin Fei's words were not meant for Ah Bing. Wen Mingtang sat up from the bed and roughly pieced together the details of the whole incident from the scattered conversations between several people.

The candles used for worship are smeared with medicine, and after being lit, they are emitted along with the candle smoke, which can cause hallucinations in people when smelled.

Wen Mingtang stretched out his hand and touched his throat. Thinking of his evil behavior in front of the mourning hall, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He thought it was because he saw Lao Yuan lying down and thought of "himself" in the dream, and was temporarily in a dilemma.

I lost control, but I didn't realize it. It was hard to lose control of my feelings, it was actually man-made.

The drugged candles are mixed in with the normal candles, and which candle is lit depends entirely on luck. In this case... if you fall for it, it is pure bad luck.

It can be seen that the person who did this did not care who was the living person who was tricked. What he was really targeting was Lao Yuan who was lying there.

It’s so heartbreaking to be punished! You will have to be falsely accused of such a bad name even if you die, and you will have no peace.

Wen Mingtang walked around the screen and walked out. Because everyone came quickly when the incident happened, she did not hurt her throat. There were only some scratches on her neck, which she thought would disappear on their own in two days.

Not a big problem.

"Take the tranquilizing medicine three times a day for at least three days!" Lin Fei was not surprised when he saw Wen Mingtang walking out from behind the screen. Just now he had heard the movement on the bed behind the screen.

Wen Mingtang looked at the pile of tranquilizers piled on the table, sighed, but nodded in agreement.

It's not a big problem, but you still have to take this medicine.

When Ah Bing saw her coming out, he quickly asked her if she was okay.

From the corner of his eye, Wen Mingtang saw the old doctor who spoke slowly roll his eyes and move his lips, as if he was saying, "Everyone is up, and you still ask if something is wrong? Is it okay to get up?"

?”

When Wen Mingtang saw this, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and wanted to smile: This old doctor is an honest man who doesn't disdain pretentious words.

After shaking his head at A Bing and indicating that he was fine, Wen Mingtang asked him: "How is the dumpling?"

Ah Bing said: "The glutinous rice balls are making medicine. She...she feels uncomfortable. She always feels that she has harmed you."

"What does this have to do with her? It's just bad people who hurt people." Wen Mingtang said to Ah Bing, and then thanked the old doctor.

The old doctor nodded, told her some oral and dietary taboos to pay attention to when taking medicine, and then left.

After the old doctor left, Wen Mingtang touched his neck, walked up to Lin Fei, and bowed to him solemnly: "I just... thank you Lin Shaoqing."

Thinking about his behavior in the mourning hall, she would have been scared even if it were her. Under such circumstances, he was the only one who came over and stopped her in time.

If Lin Fei hadn't appeared in time, her neck would not have had only these two marks, and her throat would have been injured.

When people first see something "ghosts and gods are scary", they are frightened and do not dare to take action. It is instinct. There are only a few people who can step forward in time without fear of being exposed to "ghosts and gods".

Not to mention, this was still in Da Rong, and Wen Mingtang felt even more grateful.

Lin Fei's eyes fell on the scars on her neck. Although she dealt with the stove every day, she was not stained by "stove ashes" at all. The exposed skin on her neck was as white as jade. She was supposed to be extremely beautiful.

, but because of those two marks, it looks a bit shocking.

After staring at Yu Hen for a moment, Lin Fei withdrew his gaze, nodded slightly to Wen Mingtang, and said, "Just do it." In the same calm and cold tone, he asked her again after a pause, " I won’t be in Dali Temple for the next few days, will anything happen in the temple?”

What happened in Dali Temple? Does the fact that her house was turned over count? Wen Mingtang thought to himself, but then shook his head in his heart: Lin Fei had reminded her before, so naturally this matter didn't count. .

Someone sneaking into Dali Temple is nothing new, but...

After A Bing left in a hurry to see the glutinous rice balls being boiled, Wen Mingtang told Ji Caimai about the troubles he encountered there: "...I originally thought of settling this matter years ago, but I didn't think about internal affairs. The Yamen is so harsh!"

Lin Fei seemed a little surprised by this. He raised his eyebrows and asked Wen Mingtang: "Is the Internal Affairs Yamen really unwilling? Is there any note of disapproval?"

Wen Mingtang nodded and said: "Of course there is, it's at Ji Caimai's place."

People like Ji Caimai, who have experienced the world of love in their hometown, certainly know the principle of "words are not supported by words". The loss of going to the Internal Affairs Yamen is not in vain, and a note of reply and approval from the Internal Affairs Yamen was left in his hand.

If not, since there is no basis for what you say and there is no written evidence, why don’t you want people from the Internal Affairs Office to come forward to testify and prove your own mistakes?

After hearing Wen Mingtang said, "There is a note," Lin Fei nodded and said, "I will ask Zhao You to go to Ji Caimai later. You don't have to worry about this matter."

Wen Mingtang lowered his head and responded. He was completely relieved that Lin Fei took the matter away.

It is true as Ji Caimai said, the Internal Affairs Office's indiscriminate and harsh deductions are so rampant that they have already made countless enemies.

There is no need to worry about people who are so arrogant, even if they are His Majesty's adopted mother. What you should really be careful about are those evil people who can't find fault in anything and hide in the dark.

What she was afraid of was never that someone would search her house, but why her house was searched.

What exactly does Du Lingmou want? Wen Mingtang doesn't know, these things are only the tip of the iceberg.

After talking to Lin Fei about this, the two of them left the house. Lin Fei went to find Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, while Wen Mingtang went to the kitchen to meet Tangyuan.

After entering the kitchen, Tangyuan hugged her again and she cried tears of self-blame. It took a lot of effort from Wen Mingtang to comfort Tangyuan.

Although Lao Yuan died because of the case, he himself had little to do with the case. Furthermore, although there were many people coming in and out of the Yuan family's mourning hall, they were all neighbors of the Yuan family.

The medicine for applying candles is not hard to find, and it is not impossible for ordinary people to buy it. Therefore, those who would do such things, attack candles, and attract "criticism" are probably "acquaintances".

Since everyone in Dali Temple encountered such a thing, they would not just sit back and watch, and took the initiative to find the person who drugged the drug.

This is also their job. Each performs his or her own duties and is the best.

Wen Mingtang spent the entire afternoon in the mourning hall with glutinous rice balls and paper money, and when it was time to appease him, he got up and "performed his duties" and went to the kitchen to prepare the New Year's dinner.

Today is New Year's Eve, no matter what, we should prepare some New Year's dinner.

New Year's Eve is also the night of reunion, so those who have families have to go back to their homes to have New Year's dinner. However, those who don't have families, such as Wen Mingtang and Zhao You, spend the time here with glutinous rice balls.

These days, I don't have the time to prepare meals, just take a bite at random. I'm used to Wen Mingtang's cooking flavor of glutinous rice balls and Lao Yuan's things, I really don't have the time to eat, and I have already lost a lot of weight.

Although she was the one who was shot in the mourning hall, Tangyuan's face was much uglier than hers!

Wen Mingtang poured the washed rice into the pot. It would not work if it went on like this! Thinking about the candle, he knew that there would be a lot of things waiting for the glutinous rice balls to show up!
