Chapter 27 The word poisonous

Manager Lian Er secretly looked at Liu Ruhai several times. He was a very talented man and a famous doctor from a well-known family. If he had seen him, he would never forget him. But he had no impression.

Lord Marquis actually recognized him?

Although Liancheng was also in Yanjing City at that time, he did not notice that his master met the young master of the Liu family on the street in front of Baihusuo.

He took the order and went to the back house, feeling a little embarrassed. He was thinking about how to call Cao Xiwan out of the inner house without alerting Mrs. Hou.

Liancheng thought, maybe the Marquis feels a little guilty and wants to meet Qing Luo?

Qing Luo never saw the Marquis again since he left the outer study room.

A few days after the wedding, the Marquis went to court the day before yesterday and set out from the outer study. Among the dozen or so lanterns, the shadows of plum blossoms were scattered and the branches were turning with the wind. The Marquis saw that the night watchman had been replaced by Qin Meng instead of the one who had followed him for many years.

Qingluo female ghost. What does the Marquis seem to want to say?

Maybe it was finally discovered that the old friend was no longer there.

Until the Marquis mounted his horse at the gate of the palace, there was the sound of iron hoofs, and the Marquis looked at the dark long street of the capital and the palace gate, with the stars at the fourth watch in the sky. He looked up and sighed, and suddenly asked sadly: "Does Xiaowan blame me?

?”

Liancheng didn't dare to answer.

He only thought that the reason why the Marquis invited Mr. Liu here was obviously because of the illness of the young master in the house, and he did not want Mrs. Hou to be blamed for not being able to tolerate his stepson, so the Marquis did not let outsiders know.

But Qingluo was suddenly summoned to meet Mr. Liu. Why?

Main house.

Cao Xiwan still didn't know that Liu Ruhai was a spy, so he was finally introduced to the Hou Mansion by Ping Nanbo.

She only listened to Mrs. Hou's words, and she had to take care of herself after getting married. Because the old lady was waiting for Mr. Hou to have a legitimate son, and today the second wife and the sixth wife both said to the old lady that Cao Xiwan's father knew better.

Pharmacology, among the girls who understand pharmacology, the first one is Xiao Wan.

The old lady listened at that time and praised Mr. Cao for his great love and loyalty. She had been saddened by the death of the elder. When it comes to generations of loyalty, no one can surpass the Cao family.

When Mrs. Hou relayed these words to Cao Xiwan, she showed no expression.

Cao Xiwan just pretended not to know, and several of the dowry girls were sneering at her.

Yes, she copied the Buddhist scriptures and presented them to the old lady, but what the old lady said was none of her business. The old lady had only one thing to say: The Marquis has no legitimate son.

Mrs. Wei's maid gave birth to a little bastard.

Over the years, the Marquis has actually been waiting for Lou Shuluan to marry. Even Cao Xiwan thought the same way.

In fact, the old lady was unhappy about this matter.

Madam Hou said: "Sit down, the water chestnut cake just arrived from the kitchen is still hot. I heard you like it."

Cao Xiwan saluted and sat down on the footrest. Jianghe was on the side and narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, Mother Chen prepared it for this girl Cao? Does Mother Chen recognize her?

"The Marquis said that you have worked hard. Let me take care of you. I also want you to rest more."

Two girls came over and set up a small table with tea and cakes.

Yanzhi, who was carrying the table, secretly gave Cao Xiwan a smiling look. Yanzhi was a maid from the Hou family, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief when Mrs. Hou asked Xiaowan to sit down.

This is extremely decent for a young girl.

Cao Xiwan looked at Yanzhi. Yanzhi was the most beautiful of all the girls in the house. The old lady sent Yanzhi over, maybe she was not happy, right? She subconsciously looked at the hot horseshoe cake on the plate.

She really loves this food.

She saw a note peeking out from under the plate.

When she was serving tea, she picked up the tip of her finger and silently took out the note and put it in her hand. After a while, she lowered her eyes and saw the words on it.

【poisonous.】

She remained calm and put the note in her sleeve so that no one could notice it.

In fact, she could tell whether the cakes and snacks in front of her were poisonous. It couldn't be poisonous. But Xiliu never appeared.

Mother Chen is also missing.

She had to be wary of these two people.

She sipped hot tea and glanced around for a moment. The decorations in the east wing were all replaced with new furniture.

The double plum blossom on the table is a sky-blue bamboo hat with broken ice patterns from the kiln built in the Song Dynasty. The nanmu plate shelf is an antique jade plate with swimming fish and mandarin duck patterns. It is both rich and eye-catching. I am afraid they are all Mrs. Hou's dowry. This should be

This is the place where Mrs. Hou usually lives. But I didn’t see a statue of Medicine King Buddha.

I heard that the Buddha statue that Mrs. Hou was given as a dowry contained not only the secret notes of the Mongolian master’s own practice of the Nine Transformations of the Netherworld, but also an immortality pill refined by the Mongolian master.

This elixir is specially useful for cultivating the Nine Transformations of the Netherworld. It can not only make people lose their skills, but also make them greatly improve their skills overnight.

"A while ago, you came into the house every day. I wasn't feeling well and I didn't see you."

"I should have my share, so how dare I work my wife?"

"You also went to Mr. Marquis's place?"

"Since we are in the inner house, it is inconvenient to go outside."

Mrs. Hou nodded slightly.

Cao Xiwan was secretly happy that she was really a loyal girl who knew the rules. Sooner or later, Mrs. Hou would reward her.

Mrs. Hou suppressed her anger.

"When you come to my place, you should do the same, and when you go to other people's courtyards?" Mrs. Hou smiled half-heartedly, "I thought you were going to complain about me in front of the elders of each house today."

Cao Xiwan thought to herself, yes, that's right, I just want to scare you.

It’s okay if the wife doesn’t like her, but she should be given a job anyway.

Instead of letting her stay in the main room, send her to the old lady's room, or to the sixth wife's place.

Why did you just leave her dry?

She looked at the small note in her sleeve. Is the wife angry? Do you want to poison her?

Lou Shuluan talked to her for a while about the loyal servants of the Cao family's father and mother. She was naturally humble, secretly thinking that her own father was the most slippery and lazy, and her mother was honest and bullied. She probably didn't know that yet. But

I'm afraid I don't care if I know.

Mrs. Hou smiled gracefully: "I don't know what your rules are in front of Mr. Hou. Now that Mr. Hou has entrusted me to take charge of the wedding ceremony and asked me to take care of the old people, I have also arranged for double the monthly payment.

You rest at home. I have some medicinal materials. You can help me grind some medicinal powder at home and bring them in every month——"

Cao Xiwan thought that if she didn't enter the house, she wouldn't be able to get the Buddha statue. Should she be allowed to steal it?

"Can you give me Dr. Feng from Huichun Hall?" She also stood up and asked respectfully.

"What are these words?" Lou Shuluan's face changed immediately. It was obvious that Dr. Feng was an important person in her eyes, and she hated Cao Xiwan's respectful face, but which slave would dare to treat him like this?

Mrs. Fang is talking?

"Bold—!"

Wenxue stood up and scolded, "Why are you talking to your wife? Are these the rules in the house?"

Cao Xiwan looked sideways at Wenxue, with a confident look on his face, which made several girls become nervous. But at this moment, the figure flashed, and reinforcements arrived.

Mother Chen walked in. Cao Xiwan thought that this old mother was probably eavesdropping outside, so she came in at this time.

Mother Chen whispered a few words in Mrs. Hou's ear. Mrs. Hou's angry look was startled, then she calmed down, sneered, stood up again, and went to the old lady's room.

Several girls cheered and followed the wife out.

Cao Xiwan stood alone, thinking, is this the end?

She felt that the matter ended suddenly before her wife even started to punish her. She looked at the pastries on the small table.

He weighed the note in his hand.

I originally thought that my wife had deliberately placed a note saying it was poisonous, and then, because she didn't eat much of the food, she was going to find an excuse and have someone beat her to death with a paddle.

She wanted to see if what Mrs. Chen had said to her outside on the porch when she had just been brought here was true:

"Our wife doesn't speak well, please bear with her. If you need anything, you can ask me."
