You say you don't care, but do you really don't care at all?
Even if there is no love, there is still hatred, right?
Mrs. Lin didn't notice Song Qian's expression because she tasted that the tea didn't taste right.
In previous years, the old lady's tea was not much and was not distributed to each room. This year, Concubine Shu received a reward from the emperor and gave it to the old lady.
Therefore, the rain dew tea obtained from the old lady is the same batch everywhere. How can the taste be different?
Mrs. Lin's heart skipped a beat when she thought that the root cause of her illness had never been found. She almost couldn't hold the teacup in her hand, and the saucer jingled against the impact.
Song Qian looked over in surprise, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Although the Nanning Marquis Mansion was defeated, it’s not like the Lin family didn’t even have this bit of etiquette, right?
Mrs. Lin hurriedly suppressed her thoughts, put down the tea cup, and said, "I have been ill for a long time and am a little weak, so I will go back now."
Lin was good at putting on a show, and Song Qian didn't see the truth, so she had to send Lin out.
When Mrs. Lin came back to Peilan Courtyard, the first thing she did was to ask her girl Dong Ling to take out the small jar of rain dew tea.
"Madam, what's wrong? You are taking medicine. You can't drink tea. The doctor specifically told you not to drink tea!"
Mrs. Lin frowned: "I know, just take it if I ask you to!"
"Yes Yes."
Dong Ling hurriedly found the jar of rain dew tea and placed it in front of Lin.
Mrs. Lin picked it up and smelled it. Compared with the aroma of the tea at Song Qian's place just now, it seemed that it was really a little different, but she couldn't tell.
Wei Baozhu came in from outside at this time, "Mother, what are you doing?"
"Baozhu, you came just in time. If this tea has a different smell, come and smell it."
Wei Baozhu took the tea and smelled it doubtfully, then shook his head: "Mother, my nose is not working well and I can't smell it."
"Forget it, Dong Ling, make some tea and ask a doctor secretly to see if there is any problem."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Wei Baozhu said in surprise: "Mother suspects that your illness is because there is something wrong with the tea? This tea did not come from my grandmother..."
She spoke in a normal tone, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Lin's face was sullen, and neither mother nor daughter spoke anymore until Dong Ling returned with a pale face.
Wei Baozhu knew something was wrong as soon as he saw her expression, "What's going on, please tell me clearly."
"Madam, second girl, our tea is said to have been soaked in narcissus juice..."
"Daffodil juice? It works!"
Dong Ling didn't dare to hide it and said: "The doctor said that if you swallow the daffodil juice by mistake, you will have a weak pulse, lethargy, and the body temperature will rise accordingly. The early stage is very similar to the symptoms of pregnancy..."
Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth when she heard this, "What then?"
"Then, then...if you take it for a long time, you will have cold sweats, diarrhea, collapse, and eventually...spasm, paralysis, and death."
When Mrs. Lin heard this, she slammed the tea can on the table to the ground!
Dark green particles were scattered all over the floor, everywhere.
Wei Baozhu looked solemn, "Dong Ling, this is not a joke, have you asked clearly?"
Dong Ling knelt down quickly, "I asked several doctors specifically, and they all said this..."
"How could they, mother and son, be so cruel and use such vicious tactics to deal with me!"
Wei Baozhu's face turned even worse, "What mother means, this matter is between grandmother and father..."
"The good concubine has already entered the house, what is there to be suspicious of! I occupy the position of Wei Shiyuan's first wife! Without me, Song Qian would not be a good concubine, but just filling a house!"
Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth and looked at her, "Baozhu, it was you who persuaded me to see the reality clearly. Why can't you believe it now?"
Wei Baozhu was speechless.
Mrs. Lin added: "Your grandmother was particularly cold to me before. Why? Is it because your maternal grandfather's family is of no benefit to the future of the Wei family? If I were good, wouldn't those people be satisfied?"
Wei Baozhu shook his head: "No, I don't believe it... Even if my grandmother can do it, I don't believe my father can!"
Mrs. Lin looked at her blankly, then fell back into her chair. She was so confused that she felt that she was fighting alone and had no one to help her.
Seeing her like this, Wei Baozhu reacted and said: "Mother, no matter whether this matter is true or false. We can't scare the snake. Didn't we agree before? Don't worry, no matter what, my daughter will stand with you. !”
Mrs. Lin muffled her face and couldn't suppress her sadness, "Your uncle is focused on his official career, getting higher and higher step by step. Of course, your father will also follow the momentum to climb up. But she should never do it. She should never do it." , You shouldn’t have stepped on me to climb up!”
As she spoke, her eyes became vicious.
She suddenly remembered that the last time she proposed "peace and separation", Mrs. Wei said, "Since Mrs. Lin has already thought about it, you can give her a piece of paper and a letter of reconciliation", which made her throat feel sweet...
At that time, everyone thought that Mrs. Wei was speaking out of anger, but now it seems that those were her true words!
"Hmph, I'm not the kind of cowardly person who is willing to be manipulated by others." Lin's mouth turned ruthless: "This grudge has been forged. How can I make her feel better when she treats me like this? Furthermore, If she knows that her condition has improved, but I don’t know what kind of dirty trick she is going to use, I can’t just sit back and wait for death!”
Her words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth, and Wei Baozhu felt a chill on her back.
For the first time, she felt at a loss and turned blue with fear. "Mother, are you going to kill grandma?"
"How could it be? If you kill her, your uncle will be punished by Ding You. If the matter gets serious, it's hard for us to escape suspicion."
Lin sneered, she had already thought of a better idea.
*****
The capital city has a dense and prosperous population, and the streets are usually crowded with people. On the day when Mu Ying was burned at the stake, the streets were even more crowded.
Early in the morning, many people were waiting at Caishikou to watch Mu Ying's execution.
There are many vendors around who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, and the originally spacious streets are squeezed into almost no space.
The government had no choice but to send yamen officers to block the perimeter of the wooden frame to prevent these people from rushing mindlessly to the vicinity of the execution frame and causing accidents.
People with a little knowledge have already spent a lot of money to reserve a seat in a nearby teahouse or restaurant.
Li Qingyi and Qin Zeng stood on the Yanyue Tower, looking down at the crowd below. She had a premonition that there would be something wrong with today's execution...
"The fourth prince should take action."
"Expected."
Silan listened to the conversation between the two and wondered: "Since both the girl and the adults thought that something would happen today, why didn't they take action to stop it?"
Li Qingyi shook his head: "Mu Ying's life or death is not that important to us. Besides, it would be unwise to rashly confront the Fourth Prince openly."
Qin Zeng was speechless, obviously thinking the same thing as her.
Chang Lan turned his gaze to the crowded market outside and said, "So, Mu Ying will be rescued?"
Li Qingyi shook his head: "If someone wants to save her, they won't do it in a big way in front of the people in the city. Maybe the Mu Ying in the prison is no longer the real Mu Ying."
"Ah? Then what else should we come to see..."
Qin Zeng said: "Watch the excitement."
Changlan and Changze looked at each other and rolled their eyes speechlessly.
Li Qingyi smiled and said nothing.
Although they speculated that Mu Ying would be rescued, they still had to come and watch.
First, it was to show that they "had no" suspicion. Secondly, I also wanted to confirm whether Mu Ying had really escaped from her shell.
Everything is possible, what if you can see something?
Several people paid close attention to the movements below, and saw many people moving forward step by step, trying to get the best position.
Li Qingyi shook his head helplessly. No matter how old he is, he can never get rid of his habit of watching the excitement.
"With such a crowd, I'm afraid many people will suffer from heat stroke."
Qin Zeng chuckled and said, "Don't worry, there is a mung bean soup seller not far away."
Li Qingyi's mouth twitched: "Can adults also joke?"
