When Feng Hua came to the painting garden, she walked all over the yard but could not find Yu Tianrong. Finally, she went to Xia Yue in frustration.
What...Pengpi is so radiant!"
"Go, don't do this with me. I want to know where Madam went?"
"Ah, are you looking for Madam?" Xia Yue's eyes widened, as if he heard some joke, "Pavilion Master, you are so busy, how come you have time to see Madam?"
Feng Hua had a dark face, Xia Yue clearly didn't want to answer his question! "I asked -"
"Sorry, Pavilion Master, I don't know."
Feng Hua looked at him and glared, "How could you not know?"
Xia Yue shrugged and said innocently: "Hey, why do you need to explain to me where you're going, Madam? I'm just a servant!"
"you--"
"By the way, Madam seems to have said that she wants to go to some place to practice in seclusion. As for where, I really don't know. Madam didn't tell me because she was afraid that I would disturb him." Xia Yue said helplessly, and at the same time she was very unhappy.
She looked at Feng Hua with understanding and said, "Pavilion Master, Madam has already been so heartbroken by you. Are you still thinking of doing it again?"
Feng Hua was so angry that Xia Yue said this again that she almost lost control. She finally restrained herself and looked at Xia Yue dully, "You really don't know? Why does she want to practice in seclusion?"
"Well, I don't know, maybe Madam thinks she's not strong enough!"
"Pei Ruochen doesn't know either?"
"I don't know, Madam left after he left."
Xia Yue almost couldn't get enough of it, which made Feng Huaqian stare, and in the end he could only turn around and walk away in depression.
Watching Feng Hua leave, Xia Yue sighed slightly. For him, it didn't matter whether he said it or not. His wife had already rejected him, so there was no need to think about it.
However, when he looks at him now, he feels the same sympathy as he looks at Zhan Yan. Fortunately, he doesn't love his wife! It would be miserable for the two of them to be like this! He appreciates his wife, yes, it's just appreciation.
"Steward Xia," Shutao's figure appeared at the door,
Xia Yue took a look and said, "Come in, what's the matter?"
Shutao opened the door respectfully and came in, "Steward Xia, the young master seems to be feeling a little unwell. Senior Qin is not here, so I don't know who to look for to see the young master."
Xia Yue frowned, "When did you start feeling uncomfortable?"
"Today - let's start at dusk. The young master said that he felt a little dizzy. Originally, I thought he was just tired from reading. Who knew that after dinner, the young master would still...I had no choice but to come to you without delay."
"Senior Mo, Madam's nominal master, doesn't he know medical skills? Go and ask him to see you first."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
The young master felt uncomfortable just after the madam left? Isn't this a coincidence? Xia Yue strode towards Rui'er's courtyard. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered Miss Han Er. She could prepare medicine for Zhan Yan, so she also had medical skills.
Yes? Why not ask her to take a look too!
When he walked into Rui'er's room, he saw Rui'er lying on the bed with a slightly red face, "Master, how are you?"
"Uncle Xia, there's nothing wrong with me, I'm just a little dizzy."
"Then let your mother's friend take a look later. She has very good medical skills! Let Senior Mo take a look too."
Rui'er looked at him with a smile, "Uncle Xia, don't be nervous. It's just dizziness. It's not a big deal."
"Be careful with Wannian Ship. Madam has just left home, and I can't let anything happen to you. Otherwise, it will be terrible if she comes back to settle accounts with me."
Rui'er sighed in frustration, "Uncle Xia, when do you think my mother can stop going out? I hope to be with my mother every day."
"Come on, after the madam has taken care of those things, she will naturally accompany the young master!"
"Steward Xia, Senior Mo is here." Shutao and Mo Tao appeared in front of Rui'er. Mrs. Huaiyu also came. She looked at Rui'er nervously, "Rui'er, how are you? Is it okay?"
Mo Tao pulled her and said, "Huaiyu, let me take a look first!"
Ruier smiled at her and said, "Grandma, I'm fine."
Mo Tao stretched out his hand to feel Rui'er's pulse. When he felt the pulse, he suddenly frowned, "What did Rui'er eat at night?"
Shutao was startled, "Young Master had the rabbit pot made in the kitchen for dinner. I saw that a lot of red pepper was put in. Could it be that he ate too much pepper?"
Mo Tao shook his head, glanced at Xia Yue, and then said to Shutao: "Go and get some warm water for Rui'er to drink."
"yes."
After Shutao left, Mo Tao looked at Xia Yue and lowered his voice, "Rui'er is poisoned. Fortunately, the dose was relatively small, otherwise even the Great Luo Immortal wouldn't be able to save her!"
Xia Yue was startled and approached, "Then -"
"Don't worry, I know how to prepare the antidote. If you--can't, let Chi Yang take care of Rui'er. You can continue to do your job as usual. However, send someone to secretly check the staff in the kitchen to see if there is anything wrong.
.”
"Okay, then I'll leave it to Senior Mo!"
When Rui'er heard that he had been poisoned, a cold light flashed across his face, and then he still looked innocent. Mrs. Huaiyu hugged him and said distressedly: "My poor child!"
"Huaiyu, don't touch Rui'er, just let him lie down!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Huaiyu quickly let go and wiped away her tears, "Okay, I won't hug you, then I'll stay and take care of Rui'er!"
Mo Tao thought for a while and nodded, "That's fine, but if you want to walk out of Rui'er's room, you have to make a distressed expression to make others think Rui'er's problem is serious. This can help us draw out
The enemy in the dark, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, I remember." Mrs. Huaiyu asked herself if she had any other abilities. It was still easy to deceive others by making a plaintive appearance.
Mo Tao then went to prepare the poisonous monster's prescription, while Xia Yue went to deal with his affairs. Mrs. Huaiyu stayed behind to take care of Rui'er, while Chi Yang watched over.
"Grandma, don't worry, I will be fine." Ruier held Mrs. Huaiyu's hand and comforted her.
Mrs. Huaiyu forced a smile and said, "Yes, grandma knows." She was secretly glad that she did not go sightseeing with Mo Tao, otherwise Rui'er would not know what would have happened this time. Who knows who the hell is.
The baby Rui'er who wanted to harm her, huh, if we find out later, we must not let him go!
The person Xia Yue sent to investigate soon came back, "Housekeeper Xia, according to the investigation by his subordinates, the only people who have come into contact with the young master's small pot of rabbit meat are Aunt Liu who cooked it and Xiaomei, the maid who sent it. And according to his subordinates'
From my observations, the maid Xiaomei is the most suspicious, she seems very nervous and hasn’t slept yet."
"Oh, since I can't sleep, then please invite her to see me!"
"yes."
"Yu Ling, you are very efficient in your work. It is worth the time I spent training you."
"Thank you for the promotion, steward. Yu Ling will do his best to serve the steward."
Xia Yue glanced at the beautiful woman in front of him. She was dressed like a maid, but she still couldn't hide her intelligence and intelligence. "I hope you don't remember wrongly. Your master is the madam, and the one you want to serve is also the madam. And
Not me."
"Yes, Yu Ling understands that Butler Xia is loyal to his wife, and my slave's service to you will naturally be his service to his wife."
"Well, go ahead!"
Yu Ling retreated respectfully, and when he reached the door, he turned back without leaving a trace and glanced at Xia Yue, who was still deep in thought. He sighed slightly in his heart: Why does he only have eyes for the madam and the young master?
Arriving at the courtyard where the servants lived, she called out to the maid named Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, Butler Xia wants you to see him."
Xiaomei's eyes suddenly flashed, and she asked nervously: "Sister Yu Ling, do you know what Butler Xia wants from me?"
"I don't know. Once you go there, you will understand."
Xiaomei was uneasy along the way, and became even more nervous after entering the house and seeing Xia Yue. Xia Yue raised his eyes to look at her, and then said after a while: "You look good, do you have a family?"
"Ah - I'm a slave. I have two younger brothers and parents at home." Xiaomei said tremblingly.
Xia Yue smiled gently, "Really? How are they?"
"It's...ok!" Xiaomei was even more flustered by Xia Yue's gentle attitude, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"Really? That's good. However, our young master is not very well. He seems to have a bad stomach! The doctor just took a look and said he was poisoned!" As he said this, he looked at Xiaomei carefully.
Xiaomei's expression changed, "So, are you okay, Master?"
"Something's wrong, the doctor said it's extremely poisonous and can kill you!"
"Why is it impossible? The doctor told me personally."
"No, she said it was just a medicine to give people a stomach ache, and it would not kill anyone!" Xiaomei looked at Xia Yue blankly, "Steward Xia, did the doctor get it wrong?"
Xia Yue snorted coldly, no longer as gentle as before, "You misunderstood, the young master's life can also be used as a joke?"
"No, no, Butler Xia, that person told me that it won't really hurt the young master. It will only make the stomach hurt for a while, and it will be fine soon!"
"That person? Who is it?"
"I-I-"
Yu Ling sighed, looked at Xiaomei and persuaded: "Sister Xiaomei, I think you like the young master on weekdays. What's wrong this time? Is there any reason for this?"
"I-I-"
"If you tell everything, maybe the young master is kind-hearted and can forgive you. If you conceal it and don't retaliate, what peace of mind will you have if the young master is killed? How can my wife spare you lightly when she comes back?"
"I, I - wuwu, that person lied to me, she lied to me!" Xiaomei sobbed, "Recently, my mother was ill and the family was short of money. When I was unable to find any medicine, I met a woman. She said that as long as
I put some medicine in the young master's food and gave me money to cure my mother's illness. He also paid me half of the medicine in advance, saying that as long as the matter was done, he would pay me the other half.
I asked her and she promised not to kill anyone, so I agreed. Moreover, I was afraid that the young master would suffer, so I only took one-fifth of the medicine she gave me. Butler Xia, I really didn’t want to harm the young master.
,I am……"
"Stop talking, Yu Ling, keep an eye on her, no, go find that woman!"
Xiaomei looked at Xia Yue with tears in her eyes, "Steward Xia, I really didn't want to kill the young master, I——"
