Ning Yujin had just gotten out of the sedan chair, supported by Xia Zhu, when she saw Zisu coming up to greet her. She nodded, looked into the flower hall, and couldn't help but smile: "This old fox."
I guess she will come over.
"Go in."
She waved her hand, and the person supporting her was immediately replaced by Zi Su, who stepped into the hall.
The flower hall in the back garden is different from the flower hall in the front hall. It is just a place to rest after being tired from visiting the garden, so it is more elegantly decorated.
But in the middle of this elegant hall, Dongmei was tied to a chair in various ways, with a ball of cloth stuffed in her mouth, and her body kept twisting and struggling.
When Ning Yujin came in, Murong Xuan was sitting aside and sipping tea leisurely. After she glanced at Dongmei, she couldn't help but said teasingly: "Mr. Murong, you really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, for such a pretty little girl."
Beauty, can you do it too?"
"Beauties are all snakes and scorpions, Zizhan cannot afford to offend her." Murong Xuan put down the teacup and smiled meaningfully at Ning Yujin.
Ning Yujin's eyes darkened, and she secretly cursed "old fox" again in her heart.
The way he looked at her meant something. If she wanted to be a beauty, wouldn't she also be what he called a snake? If she didn't want to be a snake, wouldn't she be a beauty?
No matter what she says, she will be at a disadvantage. This person can also speak out the truth perfectly. It is really annoying.
"If you can't afford to offend me, then stay away, lest you get stung and lose your life." Ning Yujin rolled her eyes at Murong Xuan, raised her legs and walked up to sit down. She lowered her eyes.
It fell on Dongmei.
Dongmei drooped her head now, as if she had been drained of all her strength, and suddenly there was no movement.
Ning Yujin frowned slightly and stared at her for a while, then raised her head and glanced at Murong Xuan again, and also glanced at Zisu.
Zi Su's cold expression was no different from usual, and Murong Xuan's foxy smile meant a lot. Dealing with them really took a lot of brain cells.
She simply stood up, walked to Dongmei, raised her chin, opened her eyelids and looked around, checking everything.
"Miss Third, have you seen the clues?"
Murong Xuan also walked to her side, with one hand behind his back, showing a clear posture.
Ning Yujin retracted her hand, hugged the heater, and said slowly: "Zisu, did you use medicine on her? Although the flower juice of black datura and the medicine in my small pharmacy are for you to use as you like, you can't waste it like this.
.”
What a pity that such a precious thing was used against Dongmei.
"You said no matter what method was used." Zi Su replied coldly, which made Ning Yujin choked and speechless.
Murong Xuan watched from the side and burst out laughing: "Third Miss, the maids around you are more powerful than the others. This girl Zi Su is very interesting in what she says and does."
"So you coveted someone else, and you specifically asked me to come here to get along with a man and a woman?" Ning Yujin knew clearly what was going on, but what she said out loud turned out to be something else.
Murong Xuan heard Ning Yujin's teasing and waved his hands quickly: "Third Miss, please don't say anything inappropriate. Such words are not important to Zizhan, but don't ruin the girl's reputation."
"Oh, I take back what I said before. Who said Mr. Murong won't show mercy to women? Isn't this quite righteous?" Ning Yujin said with a grin.
"Okay, Miss Third, you didn't come here to have fun with Zizhan, right? There is someone here who needs to be dealt with." Murong Xuan saw that Ning Yujin was going too far again, so he quickly changed the subject.
Come back.
Ning Yujin also immediately remembered the purpose of her trip. She quickly straightened her expression, turned her head and asked Zi Su: "How did you use the flower juice of the black mandala?"
"According to what is written in the book, drop it into the incense burner, mix it with sandalwood, and give it to her to smell."
Black datura has many uses. It can be used as an anesthetic, as a medicine, as a poison, and as a hallucinogen. However, you have to be very careful when using it. A slight mistake can cause it to change its medicinal effect.
Dongmei is not usually a person who can't hold back her anger. Why did she get into a fight with Xiangqiao today? She must have fallen into Zisu's trick and had hallucinations.
And Xiangqiao said that Murong Xuan, who happened to be passing by, called Zi Su over after just asking a few questions. He must have discovered something fishy about Dong Mei.
Oh, she just said, hiding anything from Murong Xuan would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
"Since it caused her to hallucinate, then she said a lot of things that she shouldn't have said?" Although I didn't hear what she said, but judging from Qiuyun's reply, it seemed that the scolding was quite unpleasant.
"There is no need for Third Miss to know the original words, but Zi Zhan has to give me a piece of advice. It is better to handle it well with Uncle Quan Ning's house as to how Third Miss should be handled."
Murong Xuan had a smile on his face and spoke in a slow and deep tone, which made Ning Yujin's heart skip a beat.
She had known that Dongmei had the support of the eldest lady behind her, so she didn't know what kind of benefits were promised to her, making her unhappy under her nose.
She originally planned to give her a chance, and then slowly clean it up if she persisted in admonishment. But now, according to Murong Xuan's advice, it doesn't matter if she just cleans up Dongmei, the eldest lady of Quan Ningbo Mansion will have to uproot her.
"Okay, I have my mind set on this matter. I know what to do."
Ning Yujin nodded, and the gaze that fell on Dongmei suddenly became stern.
"As for this girl, who openly fought with others and insulted the master of the house, and was caught by Mr. Murong himself, there is nothing to say. Just send her to Zhuangzi."
It's a pity that Zhuangzi from Quan Ningbo Mansion and Prince Ding Mansion are not in the same place, otherwise she and Chunliu, the good sisters, could still be reminiscing about the past together.
After dismissing Dongmei, Murong Xuan said: "By the way, Third Miss, Zizhan still has something to ask."
Ning Yujin turned back to look at him: "Mr. Murong, it's okay to say so."
"When Zizhan was passing by just now, he saw Dongmei talking nonsense and daring to say anything private and treacherous. Zizhan was puzzled, and after making some insinuations, he guessed that Miss Zisu had given her the drug, so he called her over to ask.
But she only said that she knew this prescription after asking Li Zhangtang to read the medical book you gave her, and she didn’t know the details. Zizhan was confused and asked the third lady..."
Ning Yujin reached out and took out her ears: "Speak humanly."
"Miss Third, the flower juice of the black mandala can make people hallucinate. Can it make people say anything?"
Ning Yujin frowned, thought for a moment and said, "This depends on one's physical constitution. If you use it on your father, you probably won't get any results."
"What if it's the traitor in the dungeon?" Murong Xuan stared at Ning Yujin and said slowly.
Ning Yujin was depressed for a moment, and said with bright eyes: "I think if someone uses a human skin mask to disguise himself as someone he is familiar with, and adds a black mandala to make him hallucinate, he will probably be able to trick him out.
.”
"You'll know if you try it."
Murong Xuan and Ning Yujin looked at each other and grinned at the same time, showing two fox smiles.
