Mrs. He noticed something strange about the old lady and asked, "What's wrong with the old lady?"
"It's itchy on the back of my neck."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. He quickly looked towards the old lady's neck, and then screamed: "Oh my mother!"
Her exclamation startled everyone in the room.
Everyone frowned unconsciously and stared closely at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, wondering what kind of monster they were trying to do.
Li Qingyi let out a "tsk" in her heart. Sure enough, something happened. She had already had a premonition that today's birthday banquet would not pass peacefully, but she didn't expect that this premonition would fall on the He family.
Mrs. He just felt a little itchy on the back of her neck. She didn't know what Mrs. He saw, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Mrs. He looked at Mrs. He's neck with numb scalp, her face turned pale and she was still in shock. She suddenly jumped when she heard the question, and reached out to pull the cloak on her body: "Old lady, take off the cloak quickly! "
Mrs. He didn't know what happened and wanted to turn around to see what was going on. Mrs. He quickly tore off her cloak and threw it to the ground far away. She shouted: "Two silver spiders got into the old lady's neck." !”
Mrs. He was most afraid of insects in her life. When she heard this, her scalp tightened and the color drained from her face.
He Wenjie also changed his expression instantly, "Ah Qing, quickly find a room so grandma can change out of her clothes."
Gongsun Qing's face was ugly, and he obviously thought that the He family had done this on purpose. He looked at the Hong family in embarrassment, not wanting to cause trouble to his natal family.
Hong shook his head gently at her and ordered the girl beside her, "Take the old lady of the He family to change clothes."
Mrs. He's hands and feet were a little numb. With Mrs. He's support, she walked out quickly, sweating on her forehead.
Everyone was puzzled and followed behind to see what was going on.
The third wife, Mrs. Yuan, asked in confusion: "What are silver spiders? Second sister-in-law, did you hear what Mrs. He said?"
Hong said, "I've heard it too, but I've never heard of silver spiders."
Yuan covered her heart and patted it a few times: "It must be some unknown little insect. It's rare that Mrs. He recognized it. This surprise made me break out in a cold sweat."
Princess Lin frowned and ordered the girl next to her, "Nan Zhu, follow me in and take a look. Don't let the old lady of the He family have anything happen to our house."
Everyone felt that she was thoughtful after hearing this. If something goes wrong with Mrs. He in the palace, the He family will definitely not let her go, and Gongsun Qing's matter will be even more difficult to deal with.
Yuan said: "Maybe this insect was brought here intentionally by the He family to take advantage of us!"
When others heard this, they also thought it was very possible, and they all showed angry faces.
However, Li Qingyi felt that the old lady of the He family looked scared just now and it didn't look like she was faking it.
She looked back doubtfully at the cloak that Mrs. He had thrown on the ground, thinking that there wouldn't be anything special about the bug, right? Otherwise, why would Mrs. He's face be so ugly?
Lin walked behind the crowd and winked at Ziqian beside her.
Zi Yan glanced at Lin Mi and quickly walked out of the room.
When everyone went out, Lin Mi still stood there, looking at the cloak that was thrown on the ground with distress, thinking that Mrs. He was really serious. She had worked day and night for more than ten days to make this, but it was only two little ones. It's just a bug, why make such a fuss! Tossing her cloak aside carelessly was too much.
At this time, Zi Yan went outside for a walk and came back. She walked up to Lin Mi and tugged on her sleeve, "Miss Lin."
Lin Mi was confused, "What happened?"
Ziqian pulled her and whispered: "Sister Nanzhu said that the bug seemed to be poisonous. Mrs. He was bitten in many places on her body and had several red rashes!"
"ah?"
Lin Mi exclaimed, and Ziqian quickly covered her mouth and whispered: "Mrs. Heda also said that she saw the insect coming out of the cloak!"
"This is impossible!" Lin Mi frowned. Because it was worn in autumn, a thin layer of cotton was put inside the cloak so that it could be worn until late autumn. "I made the cloak myself, and all the cotton is mine." After everything is laid out and sewn, how can I know if there are any insects? Maybe the He family brought the insects themselves and wanted to frame the palace!"
Zi Li was so anxious that she stamped her feet: "Oh, my Miss Lin, if that bug comes from Mrs. He, it must be packed in something, and it can still be pinched with hands? But just now everyone was watching in front of them, If Mrs. He had made some small move, no one would have seen it? Moreover, the slave just stood closer and saw the bug, it was indeed coming out of the cloak!"
Lin Mi took a breath, "Are you telling the truth?!"
"Can I still lie to you? The key question is, what happened to Mrs. He? At most, there will be a scene in the palace to get some benefits, but don't forget that your cloak was originally intended to be given to the old lady. Yes, if the old lady of the He family hadn't been short-sighted, she would have been bitten by the bug right now! How will you explain to the princess then? What if the old lady blames the princess? "
Lin Mi's expression changed when he heard this.
Zi Yan said: "Miss Lin, you'd better get rid of that cloak as soon as possible!"
"Dispose of it?"
"Why don't Miss Lin understand that there are bugs in this cloak? Keep them as evidence. Just burn them all. When the old lady asks, you just say it's for the eldest girl. You're afraid that the He family won't let go." That's why I burned my cloak to prove that there is no evidence. Don't worry about where the bug came from. Just say that it flew from somewhere else, and the He family won't be able to blame us! Not only will the old lady not blame you, she will also praise you!"
"This is a good idea. But, why are there bugs in my cloak?!"
Zi Lian said anxiously: "Now is not the time to think about this. Who knows when the bug will get into the cotton wool!"
Lin Mi tightened his hands and bent down to pick up the cloak.
Zi Yan urged: "Girl, hurry back to Cailingxuan while no one is paying attention."
Lin Mi nodded, picked up his cloak and left Jingyuntang.
In the side room, Mrs. He was changing clothes inside, and everyone was standing outside waiting. Li Qingyi stood behind everyone and accidentally saw Lin's bare eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
Thinking of how Mrs. He had just yelled at Mrs. He to take off her cloak, she had a bad feeling. She quickly took a few steps back and whispered to Chang Lan, "Go, put that cloak away and see if it's there." Something is wrong.”
Changlan quickly agreed and ran back to the old lady's house to find the cloak that Mrs. He had thrown on the ground. But when I got inside, I saw that the cloak was no longer there.
Changlan looked around but couldn't find it, so he grabbed a little girl who was serving at Jingyuntang and asked: "Where is the cloak that Old Mrs. He was wearing just now? Who took it away? Have you seen it?"
