Xie Songhua just felt a little strange, but couldn't tell what was strange. Now when Ding Xiang pointed it out, he suddenly realized that the Chen family's house seemed too deserted.
Aunt Chen's expression suddenly changed.
She never expected that Xie Songhua's first visit was not to visit their mother and son, two old acquaintances, but to Gao Ying.
Just as he was hesitating about how to speak, he heard Chen Liuwen say in a warm voice: "Miss Gao and I divorced a few days ago."
The tone of voice is calm and calm.
However, Xie Songhua was stunned for a moment. Looking at his expression again, it was obvious that he was not faking it.
Thinking about it, Gao Ying went to the palace just a few days ago, so he just made peace with her.
However, this kind of thing is someone else's private matter after all. In addition, both the Gao family and the Chen family have gone through some big events, so it is normal for their lives to be turbulent.
Since the original owner had such a relationship with Chen Liu, Xie Songhua simply didn't ask, just nodded lightly and said: "So... where does Miss Gao live now?"
This sentence lifted Aunt Chen's heart again.
How do they know where that bitch has gone?
Seeing that her son was about to speak, she quickly jumped in front and said: "She only wants to break up with our family, so she won't tell us where she lives now."
Chen Liu had some embarrassment on his face, and after a while he said, "Are you looking for something important from her?"
Seeing him like this, Xie Songhua knew that Chen Liu probably really didn't know where Gao Ying had gone, so he stopped asking more questions and said with a smile: "There is something, but it's not a big deal. Since she
Now that we are no longer here, then... I won't bother you much."
Chen Liu gave her a complicated look, but said nothing more and just bowed to her.
However, Aunt Chen said hurriedly: "Since you are here, why are you leaving! Let's have a casual meal together! After all, we are acquaintances, everyone..."
"Mother!" Chen Liu interrupted his mother, his voice still gentle and calm, "The princess has important matters of her own, how can she stay here?"
Xie Songhua is very satisfied with his current attitude.
Even if two people who have no relationship want to interact, they should keep a certain safe distance.
Just thinking that Gao Ying and Chen Liu divorced like this made me feel a little surprised.
After all, just a few days ago, she planned for Chen Liu to come to her.
"Who is this? He looks like a noble man. The Chen family is also powerful. Mr. Chen has no official status now, and there are still people looking for him."
"Maybe he is an acquaintance of the former wife! In my opinion, the Chen family is too stupid. Even if their daughter-in-law's family is in trouble, at least she still knew some noble people in the past, and maybe she can go back to serve as an official again through some connections!
We must drive people away."
"Hey, where does Aunt Chen have such a brain!"
"..."
The voices of the neighbors outside came through the carriage. Xie Songhua was startled for a moment. When the carriage drove out of the alley, he arranged for Ding Xiang to go down and inquire.
Not long after waiting, they found out what happened on the day Gao Ying left the Chen family.
Aunt Chen is always a big talker, and she can't hide things about their family at all.
Xie Songhua did not doubt that Gao Ying gave all the money to her parents, nor did she doubt that she had left home completely. She knew exactly what kind of virtue Mrs. Chen had with her mouth.
This is why the original owner liked Chen Liu so much, and the Jiang family loved their daughter so much, but they didn't even try to talk to the Chen family.
"Miss Gao left the Chen family penniless, where can she go?"
Xie Songhua didn't know either.
But Xiaoqing has cleverly started to arrange for people to find him.
Ding Xiang couldn't help but be curious, "Princess, why are you looking for Miss Gao?"
Xiao Qing understood it first, "But because Miss Gao came to our palace to seek a position for Master Chen?"
"That's right," Xie Songhua nodded lightly, with a tired look on his brows, "I have never heard of the prince going on an expedition. Previously, the prince also said that there was no change in Darong for the time being. Where did she get this news?
I have to figure it out."
I just didn't expect Gao Ying to have divorced Chen Liu and disappeared without a trace.
It was actually somewhat beyond Xie Songhua's expectation.
However, there was some news on the other side. Xie Songhua handed Xie Langhua's name card to Jin Yiwei.
Most of these young masters have their ancestors' backing, and most of them follow the same life path, reading and writing, and then taking the scientific examination.
If you can get some fame in the exam, you will be worthy of your ancestors. Then you can rely on your family connections to find an official position, and then through these daily contacts, you can build your own network of contacts to find support for yourself in the officialdom in the future.
The intricate relationships are the officialdom of Daqi.
So these daily social activities are also the daily life of the officials' children.
I don’t know what kind of relationship Jin Yiwei got in, or maybe someone from Jin Yiwei was among them.
Looking at the contents in the box, Xie Songhua had a hint of worry on his face.
"Xiaoyaosan!"
I don’t know when Lan Tian appeared. After a few days, he returned to his usual playful smile.
When Gu Jinyuan saw him, he could tell what the medicine was, and naturally knew that these were probably from their hands.
"What does it do?"
"Have you ever heard of Hanshi Powder?"
How could Xie Songhua not have heard of the famous Hanshi Powder?
"So...is this medicine or not a poison?"
Lan Tian shook his head slightly and said: "Is it medicine or poison? In fact, where is the clear line?"
Gu Jinyuan didn't understand what he meant for a while, but Lan Tian picked up a special box on the shelf nearby, and then used a special silver spoon to dig out a spoonful of black and squirming meat.
The things were put on the shelf aside, and when they were roasted with a flame, those things immediately stopped moving.
Lan Tian put the pile of corpses into a stone mortar, ground them into powder, put them into a clean porcelain bottle, and handed them to Xie Songhua, "Would you like to try this medicine?"
"Then there is also the so-called power of witchcraft?"
Lantian smiled and shook his head when he heard this, "What do you think witchcraft is? Is it something specially used to manipulate people's hearts?"
He stretched out a finger and waved it gently, "Actually, these things were originally designed to solve problems, such as injuries and pests, but as time went on, they became more and more weird."
Hearing what she said, Xie Songhua turned to look at what Jin Yiwei had sent and understood what he meant.
Cold food powder was very popular in a certain era in ancient times, especially among the nobles. In fact, in the final analysis, it was just taking drugs.
And it is addictive. Using something like this to control such a group of people is indeed more than enough.
Xie Songhua suddenly felt a little chill all over his body.
So far, the entire Daqi seems to be shrouded in the shadow of these things from top to bottom.
Seeing her look like this, Lan Tian finally calmed down the smile on his face, and he probably realized that his gloating attitude might have offended Xie Songhua.
However, what surprised him was that Xie Songhua didn't say anything else to him, nor did he do anything to him. Instead, he silently took his things and left the room, and then went into the west wing where the medicinal materials were stored.
Although Dongkuaoyuan is not big, there are many rooms inside. The room just now was specially set aside for studying poisonous poisons with Lan Tian.
This person's identity was unknown, so Xie Songhua would not completely trust him. She had her own separate workbench in another locked room in the East Crossing Courtyard.
There are mostly medicinal materials here, all kinds of which were collected with great effort and at great cost, and there are also many poisons that she developed herself.
She was suddenly awakened by Lan Tian's words just now.
In fact, where do so many so-called distinctions come from? Medicine and poison are mutually reinforcing, and what is the difference between poison and poison?
