Xie Tu's words stunned Xie Songhua on the spot. Just as she was about to say something, the old lady on the other end called out, "Xiao Liu?"
Xie Tu squeezed Xie Songhua's hand hard and walked out quickly, "Grandma, I'm here."
The old lady used the excuse that the girls were frightened and asked someone to send them back.
Even though Mrs. Yu said that she was brave and not afraid of these things, nothing would happen if she went back. However, she was worried that the old lady would be frightened and she would go to the Shou'an Hall to accompany the old lady.
Because of Xie Tu's words, Xie Songhua was worried all the way back.
She thought about today's events carefully. As Xie Tu said, the clothes and jewelry for their performance today had been prepared long ago, and they had not rehearsed by changing clothes or combing their hair before.
Only those feathers were used in every dance. Since Xie Songhua had always performed well, Grandma Ying ordered her to send and receive them every time, just like the study committee members of later generations when they were studying.
Today, like every other day, it was Xie Songhua who took out the feathers and distributed them to everyone.
As for the clothes, Grandma Ying sent someone to send them to everyone's yard last night. Everyone had changed and put on clothes, so there was no possibility of anyone tampering with them.
And just now Xie Shuhua kept saying that someone was trying to harm her...
The only person present today who can harm her is Xie Songhua.
As Xie Tu said, the problem lies in the feather.
But who can be sure that the scorpion climbed down from the feathers and not from the sleeves of the clothes?
Xie Songhua couldn't help but think of holding the poisonous scorpion shining with green light, and shuddered.
Xie Shuhua is really cruel!
It is impossible to crawl out of the sleeves. Since Xie Shuhua wants to frame herself, although she is using her body as a bait, it is unlikely to gamble with her life. If it is hidden in the clothes, if a scorpion crawls inside, the danger is hard to say.
.
Then there is only one possibility...
Xie Songhua quietly told Ding Xiang on the way, and when he arrived at the Spring Banquet Terrace, he immediately called Bitao and Cuiliu out to greet the Spring Equinox sent by Shou'an Hall.
"This is the first time for my sister to come to my Spring Festival. She wants to try the tea here! Don't dislike it."
She had a smile on her face when she arrived and didn't show any airs at all.
Vernal Equinox is not particularly respectable in Shou'an Hall, she is just a second-class maid.
Although Xie Songhua was not well-received in the house, she was still a serious mistress. It was hard for her to be embarrassed by being so polite. She drank two symbolic sips of tea and said with a smile: "Girl, the courtyard is now full of people."
How many people?”
Xie Songhua called Dingxiang in and asked her to talk about the Spring Equinox in detail, and then said with a smile: "We are still not satisfied with the editing here! I heard that a batch will be sent in in October, and our girl said that we might as well wait until then.
Come in again."
"I remember that the master also gave the girl an aunt in charge?"
"Oh!" Xie Songhua picked up a book and was reading it. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Sister, you are talking about Aunt Lan! She seems to have something going on at home today, so she told me, and she won't be back until later."
This was because he was afraid that someone had gone out at Yanchundai. Xie Songhua knew it very well and would not point it out. He just acted in ignorance.
Spring Equinox carefully looked at everyone again and saw that there were no problems, so he and Ding Xiang went outside to talk, leaving the room free for Xie Songhua alone.
Xie Songhua thought again about what Xie Tu said about falling into the water.
The bead in her hand was clearly given by Yu Ruzhuo. Could it be that something was found from it?
Xie Songhua couldn't help but look at the ring on his hand.
Yu Ruzhuo has been silent for a long time.
At this time, Baiyue, who was far away in Datong, looked at the news from the capital and couldn't help but glance at the unconscious person on the bed with a complicated expression.
The prince didn't know what was going on, but after waking up for a while in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he began to fall into a strange coma from time to time.
Before, I was still in coma for several hours, no more than a day at most, but now...
This is already the third day.
After Duhuo looked at it, he only felt that his pulse was weak, but there were no other abnormal symptoms. It was exactly the same as last time.
"General Bai, there's something going on in the capital again. They really can't make up their minds, so..."
His subordinates sent a secret document. Baiyue took it and frowned.
When his subordinates saw this, they couldn't help but ask: "General, who is this person? Why does the prince value him so much?"
As soon as he asked the question, he received a sharp look from Shang Feng, and he swallowed it immediately before he finished speaking.
Baiyue said coldly: "How can I allow you to comment on what the prince wants? Tell the other side of the capital to just do what they want."
After the people disappeared, Baiyue frowned again, but thinking that he had asked the prince about the order from the Xie family last time, there should be nothing wrong with this.
Not long after Xie Songhua sat down, someone came to take her to the Summer Palace.
When she arrived, there were already many people sitting crowded together in the Summer Palace.
Fortunately, the Summer Palace, as the main courtyard of the Xie Mansion, is large enough, so everyone with their maids does not feel too crowded.
Xie Yuncang was still wearing his official uniform. He had obviously rushed here in a hurry, with a hint of displeasure on his face.
Xie Songhua just saluted several elders, and the old lady came over.
After everyone was seated, Xie Yuncang turned to Xie Shuhua and said, "I heard that you kept saying that someone wanted to harm you today. Now that everyone is here, please tell us clearly who wants to harm you."
Xie Songhua was wearing a homely light-colored long coat. She was sitting in an armchair, her face still pale. The two maids next to her were supporting her, making her look extremely weak.
When she heard this, she wanted to stand up and salute, but Xie Yuncang waved his hand directly, "There is no need for a formal ceremony, just sit down and talk."
"Thank you for your understanding, father," Xie Shuhua said softly, "Shu'er didn't make random accusations. The imperial doctor also said that the scorpion was not an ordinary poison and could not appear out of thin air. In fact, Shu'er looked up when she was doing the Eight-Yuan Dance.
into its feathers in my hand."
"hiss!"
The female relatives present immediately took a breath because of this, and Mrs. Qi on the side quickly said: "Shu'er, why didn't you stop it since you saw it?"
"Actually, I didn't see it clearly at the time. The color of the scorpion was the same as its feathers. It was just a little dazzling. The suspicion in my heart at that time just flashed by. I didn't think about it at all. It was the scorpion that bit me.
I just realized it."
"You mean, someone deliberately put the scorpion in the feather in your hand?" Xie Yuncang's voice was deep, and it sounded a bit breathless.
"yes."
Xie Shuhua's voice was still soft, and Xie Yuncang followed closely and asked: "Then do you have any suspicion in your heart?"
This was the essence of the question. Xie Shuhua raised her head and looked at Xie Yuncang in panic, and then bit her lower lip gently, as if she was very embarrassed.
"How long has it been!" Mrs. Qi couldn't help but feel anxious, "You were killed like this today, why don't you tell me right away! Tell me who it is, and I won't let her go!"
Xie Shuhua blinked her eyes, with tears in her eyes. She raised her head and turned towards Xie Songhua, "Fourth sister, in fact, you have always hated me in your heart, right?"
This sentence immediately drew everyone's attention to Xie Songhua, but they saw that she was still sitting in her seat, with no trace of panic on her face. Instead, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Oh? So third sister, you have always thought so of us.
