Cao Xiwan was a little surprised that Mrs. Hou actually treated her kindly after being talked about in front of the old lady. Cao Xiwan felt that the news that Granny Ma stopped in front of the house to report was probably correct.
Because of the young master's affairs, the Marquis went all the way to investigate the inner house. By coincidence, the medical ghost Chen Ming told the Marquis that she had been poisoned by drinking alcohol a year ago.
That time, the poison she was given was dissipated.
Although that was not the reason for her serious illness. It was normal for her to be poisoned several times a year.
But now that we are a couple, the timing is so coincidental.
The Marquis must suspect that his wife is the culprit who drugged her in a sexual relationship.
Lou Shuluan really didn't expect that she had just opened up the conversation with Mr. Hou a few days ago, and their relationship had deepened. Yesterday, this incident in Chunli happened again.
When the Marquis returned to his room at night, he only asked: "You didn't administer the medicine yourself. I just asked if it had anything to do with you. Did you hear anything about it beforehand?"
"...It has nothing to do with me." With tears in her eyes, she finally explained, "I don't like her."
She did hear the news, but she didn't tell Song Chengming.
The Marquis was furious and threw away his sleeves.
But now that the matter was over, she knew that the Buddha statue had to be given to Cao Xiwan as soon as possible in order to appease the Marquis.
Sure enough, the confidants around Mr. Hou, the medical ghost and the Biying ghost are all close friends with the Qingluo female ghost. It is not difficult for both internal and external parties to join forces to slander Mrs. Hou.
Only now did she understand that Mother Chen had advised her to tell Song Chengming about this earlier, so that she would repay the favor she received in front of Qing Luo.
Mrs. Hou was rarely gentle and asked her about falling ill due to the heavy snowfall last night. Cao Xiwan replied: "Yes, Mrs."
"Since you are going to the Marquis's place, I have something that you can take with you."
"Yes." She entered the Nuan Pavilion. As expected, Mrs. Chen knew her way around well enough to know that there was a bad spring and did not dismantle the Nuan Pavilion.
The wife sat down on the short three-sided couch with a carved back. The chinchilla fur cushion on the couch was still there and had not been replaced.
The brown porcelain vase of Jian Kiln was replaced with green bamboo branches in early spring.
Although Cao Xiwan stopped taking Fushou Dan, she was not as afraid of the cold as before, but she suddenly froze on the street yesterday. Of course she would rather be warm, and she wished she had to dismantle the warm pavilion. Just as she was thinking about it, she saw something thrown on the couch
The accounts in the books appeared to be those of the Hou Mansion. She remembered that the accounts should be in the hands of the fifth wife.
She glanced at Mrs. Hou's face and she looked fine.
Mrs. Hou left the room just now and seemed to be going to the old lady's room.
Although the old lady gave her a thumbs up, during the Spring Festival this month, the old lady had to make arrangements for her to go out to worship Buddha.
——In the past, this matter was all done to the fifth wife.
Yanzhi reminded her of this to ask her to be more respectful. The wife was gradually starting to take charge of the Marquis's residence.
Cao Xiwan thought about it carefully and realized that this was inseparable from the intention of the Marquis.
Even if Mr. Hou is angry, he will be angry for a while.
There was a sound of footsteps. Apart from Mother Chen, only a big girl in a green wrought jacket came in. She took a look and saw that it was Xiliu.
"I have no use for this Buddha statue." The wife seemed to have been prepared and opened the box with her own hands in the Nuan Pavilion.
The one-foot-tall statue of Medicine King Buddha is made of boxwood and has a remarkable luster.
Before Cao Xiwan could do anything, he heard Xiliu's nervous and excited breathing next to him.
Mother Chen gave Xiliu an expressionless look before the girl calmed down.
The wife casually pulled off the golden weaving needles from her bun, twisted the needles, and touched the eyes of the Buddha statue. Cao Xiwan thought that the secret was in the eyeballs. She secretly calculated that the needle tips were four to the left and seven to the right. The wife pressed it.
The mechanism on the Buddha statue.
There was a slight sound, and the Buddha statue spun open from its side arm, revealing a flickering sapphire silver buckle inside, holding a thin piece of old silk and a glass box.
Cao Xiwan also didn't expect that his wife would be so generous. These were clearly the Secret Book and the Immortality Pill.
Thinking about it again, my wife naturally did it for Mr. Hou.
The young master's illness is very dangerous, and there is poisonous weed in the house. Doesn't Mr. Hou doubt the purpose of Mrs. Hou's marriage?
Xiliu was on the side, sneering secretly. He glanced at Lou Shuluan and felt that Mrs. Hou's face was full of unwillingness to fail.
Xiliu mocked and stared at the Qingluo female ghost again. She was a fool. She had been tricked and didn't know it.
Qingluo was not here yesterday, but it happened to be yesterday that the Marquis found out that Qingluo was plotted against once a year ago. She was poisoned while drinking in a spring. Fortunately, the ghost doctor Chen Ming also happened to come that day.
, detoxification is just a simple task. The Qingluo female ghost actually didn't take it seriously and didn't report it to the Marquis.
Chen Ming has been favored recently. Last night, Chen Ming happened to talk to the Marquis in his study and told him that he had found out the boss of Tongchun. This man was a domestic slave released by his relatives in Loufu.
Coincidentally, the poison in Qingluo at that time was not fatal, but simply dissipated.
When they got together, Mr. Hou became furious even though he and Mrs. Hou were inseparable these past few days.
Xiliu thought, this Qingluo female ghost is still stupid. She is so stupid.
How could Cao Xiwan not know this?
She was thinking about how calm Mrs. Hou was.
If you take out this Buddha statue, the Marquis will definitely clear up your doubts.
A few days ago, she was having a drink at Tongchun, just to inquire about news. Sure enough, she heard from Shen Shuangtian that the Marquis had asked Su Jintian a few days ago how much goods the Lou family sent to the capital for their clan business in Xi'an.
Is there any bad material in it? This is what Shen Shuangtian went to check the accounts. The imperial storehouse in the Nanhe area is the largest in Jinling City.
Cao Xiwan expected that his wife would know about this news.
It is estimated that once the Jinyi Yamen inquires, it will be difficult to ship serious silk and satin materials. Otherwise, why did the relatives send the mother-in-law to come to the capital all the way? Why did she come so early in the morning?
After all, Yang Pingcui's Wanjian Villa is in Xi'an. How could the Marquis not doubt it?
Moreover, the deceased eunuch Niu was also from Guanshan. Now, relying on this uncle in the palace, the Niu family has become a big local business. The business is not small. Several families are joining forces to do business.
Whether it is the death of Eunuch Niu or the arrogance of Yang Pingcui, now they are all disadvantageous to the Marquis.
Now that she was thinking about the past, she finally understood. When Cui's mother didn't die in her hands, it was because the Marquis didn't want to cause trouble. In fact, it was Lou Shuluan who begged for love behind his back, right?
The more lenient the Marquis was at first, the angrier he became now.
Mother Chen stepped forward and inserted the golden needle into Mrs. Chen's hair. Lou Shuluan said again:
"In addition, these two pieces of clothing are newly acquired by my mother's family. You can use them to make some spring clothes. Several people in front of me have them. In a few days, we will go out for an outing to worship Buddha, so we can wear them together. You can use them to make some spring clothes.
Go and ask someone to do it today. Don’t forget it.”
Xiliu stepped forward and took two pieces of clothing material, one was made of dark floral plain embroidery, and the other was made of dark green gauze.
When he handed his hands to Cao Xiwan, Xiliu glanced at Cao Xiwan. Cao Xiwan got the best clothing material. It was a grade higher than Wenxue and Jianghe. Xiliu endured it.
When she becomes the second Qingluo female ghost, these will all be hers.
