Mrs. Lin didn't answer, but turned back and took a deep look and said, "You have been keeping a close eye on Mama Sun for the past two days."
"Yes, ma'am."
Mrs. Lin returned to Peilan Courtyard, kicked everyone out, and thought about things alone in the room.
Mother Sun specially sent people back to the Song Mansion to get the cinnabar, without going through the medicine hall, and not allowing anyone to tell anyone about it. She obviously wanted to do something shameful.
Cinnabar can be used for painting and medicine, but if people take it in excess, it will be poisoned.
Who does Mother Sun want to poison with cinnabar?
Song Qian's purpose is to correct the situation, but she cannot directly let people poison herself. In that case, her suspicion will be too great. The best way is to put the blame on whom, Wen Yuniang? Huan Sha?
It doesn't seem to work.
These two are both cheap concubines. Even if they die, they can't straighten them out. Either Song Qian comes to power, or Wei Shiyuan remarries as his new wife. It makes no difference to them at all.
So, Song Qian wanted to poison one of them and put the blame on herself?
Lin felt it was very possible.
If it was confirmed that he poisoned his aunt, although he would not have to pay for his life, Mrs. Wei and Wei Shiyuan could use this reason to divorce their wives.
Her mother's family is not strong-willed, and no one will make the decision for her. No matter how unwilling she is, she has no choice but to go to court, or the Wei family will give her a personal favor and "agree" for her to reconcile with Wei Shiyuan. .c
When the time comes, Song Qian will be able to straighten herself up without any leaves touching her body.
Lin's blood surged as she thought so.
This Song Qian really knows how to think of beautiful things!
However, if she wanted to take action, would it be Wen Yuniang or Huang Shaer?
After thinking about it, Mrs. Lin felt that it was Wen Yuniang.
After all, Wen Yuniang had a son, who was a big threat to Song Qian. If Wen Yuniang died, how difficult would it be to deal with a little brat? One slip and fall into the water could kill him!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin sat up straight.
Why doesn't she just take advantage of her plan?
Thinking of the twenty thousand taels of silver she was short of, she couldn't help but feel excited.
If she goes to borrow money from Princess Yuanheng, let's not say whether the other party will lend it to her. Let's just say that Princess Yuanheng lent it to her. What will she pay back?
Lin's cheeks were a little bloodshot, thinking of what Ru Yuan had said before about letting her order a few things.
But she couldn't help but think, if she really wanted to take money from Wen Yuniang, how should she get it?
Wen Yuniang has many shops, and all of them make money, but she can't get it. The operation of the shop is under the control of the shopkeeper. How much money is flowing in the books is all counted. If you want to withdraw a large amount of money, you will definitely report it to the general manager, who will check it at all levels, alarming many people.
Even if Wen Yanniang has her shortcomings, the shopkeeper in her shop will only go to the Wen family to take over, and there is no way she can take advantage of the Wei family.
She could only think about the cash in Aunt Wen's hand.
Mrs. Lin sat alone in the room for an afternoon before finally making up her mind.
Wen Yuniang wanted to provoke herself to deal with Song Qian.
Song Qian planned to poison Wen Yuniang and frame her for herself.
Both men thought themselves fools.
Lin sneered.
They are all old foxes, let’s see who has the deeper virtues!
*****
On the 15th day of the eighth month of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the queen led all the wives to perform a moon worship ceremony, which was a custom in Dajing.
In the evening, the Wei family had a reunion dinner, and Princess Yuanheng took everyone out to the palace.
Except for the third wife, Mrs. Guo, who wanted to stay and take care of Mrs. Wei, Li Qingyi also stayed in the mansion because the injury on his leg was not fully healed. The other two ladies and all the legitimate girls entered the palace.
With so many masters gone, and many maids and women following them, the house suddenly lost a lot of people.
It just so happened that the monthly silver coins were released today, and the servants became very lively. They went to collect the monthly coins in groups, and all the houses and courtyards seemed empty.
Although Song Qian was a little unhappy because she couldn't go to the palace for a banquet as a concubine, the servants of the second room all wanted to come to her.
She came here to collect the monthly salary. She thought this was a good opportunity to win over people, so she took it upon herself to use her own money to give three more months to the servants in the second house, in the name of accumulating blessings for Mrs. Wei.
This little money is nothing to her.
The servants were so happy that Song Qian praised him for everything in the sky and on the earth.
Mrs. Wei also specially sent people over, gave her some jewelry, and praised her for being sensible.
This made Song Qian feel much better.
Mother Sun asked two capable girls to help Song Qian, and she quietly left Qianyun Pavilion.
In Suochun Pavilion.
The servants in the yard were all talking about Song Qian's kindness.
Although Wen Yuniang treats them well, who wouldn't be happy to have Yueyin who has been working for nothing for several months?
Seeing that they were feeling itchy, Wen Yuniang smiled and said, "Then go and get them. Anyway, there are few masters in the house today, so don't wander around. Just come back soon after you get them."
All the girls and women went away happily after hearing this.
Wen Yuniang walked around the yard a few times to eat, then went back to the house and took the account from the shop and poured it on the imperial concubine's couch. The light was dim, so she leaned there and fell asleep without knowing it.
She vaguely felt someone coming behind her. She thought it was Hui Lan and the others, so she lay still and didn't move.
But then.
One hand tightly covered the upper half of her face! She couldn't see who it was, and her nose was blocked and she couldn't breathe!
She subconsciously opened her mouth, but something poured in! She tried to shout, but she swallowed more of the unknown liquid!
Wen Yuniang struggled fiercely with her hands and feet, and finally pushed away the person covering her. But before she could see who it was, she was hit in the back of the head and fell softly...
At this time, Grandma Sun had just walked to Suochun Pavilion. She quietly looked around for a moment, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she ducked into the courtyard.
She just took a closer look and found that all the servants around Aunt Wen had gone to Qianyun Pavilion.
She specifically told Caiping and the others to deal with the servants everywhere so that their money would not be distributed too quickly. In order to get the monthly payment as early as possible, the maids will not come back too early. All she had to do was pour the cinnabar in her arms into the health soup Wen drank every day, and it wouldn't take long.
Cinnabar has no taste. If she takes a large amount of cinnabar, Wen Yuniang will be poisoned and become a lunatic fool.
The surroundings were eerily quiet. Grandma Sun chose a dimly lit place to walk. She took out the paper bag containing cinnabar from her arms and held it in her hand, preparing to turn into the small kitchen.
Just out of caution, she slid along the wall to the window of Wen Yuniang's room and looked inside through the half-open gap.
At this glance, Grandma Sun gasped and was so frightened that she scattered the cinnabar in her hand all over her body!
Under the dim light, Aunt Wen was lying on the imperial concubine's couch with wide eyes, her head tilted back, her arms dragging her hair to the ground. Her clothes were very messy, and the pearls in her hair were scattered everywhere, and her chin As if he had been torn apart by someone alive, Zhang's boss still looked dignified and bright as usual! Like a devil!
Mother Sun sat down on the ground, her legs were so weak that she couldn't even stand up!
*****
In Zhuoxiangyuan, Li Qingyi was playing with the girls in the yard making Kongming lanterns. Hengwu trotted in from outside the yard, with panic on his face, "Girl, something happened in Suochun Pavilion!"
Li Qingyi let go of her hand, and the Kongming lantern floated out. She was stunned: "What happened to Aunt Wen?"
"She...she's dead!"
died?
Although Li Qingyi had long imagined that something might happen to Aunt Wen, but when the incident came to her, she was still a little stunned and couldn't react for a while.
Changlan asked, "Is she dead? She was fine at the family dinner just now, so why did she die so soon?"
