At the beginning of the afternoon, Qi Qiyue quietly came to the ancestral hall to look for her. [Full text reading] Tell her that Zhu Shang has found out the medical clinic where Brother Zijuan works, and also said that this medical clinic just prepared a new mute medicine a month ago, which is exactly the same as the recipe her mother drank.
After finding the source of the medicine and clarifying the context of the whole matter, Xu Nuo dared to speak out these words so that his father could find out the truth faster.
Xu Gucheng had some memories of Huan'er. He remembered that this maid was once in Siniang's house. Siniang was only two years older than Liu Niang, but she actually knew how to feel sorry for Liu Niang's hardships in the past few years, and even sent over the maid who served beside her.
But what did Liu Niang mean by saying this to him at this time? Could it be that the bowl of medicine Wan Niang drank had something to do with Zijuan's brother?
He has been in officialdom for a long time and is very sensitive to everything.
"Dad, I am only talking about these things because I am bored. You should go back and wash up." Xu Nuo curved his mouth and showed a shallow smile.
Xu Gucheng looked at it, his heart softened, and he resisted helping his daughter up.
He rode back overnight and rushed to the ancestral hall as soon as he entered the Xu Mansion. He was still wearing official uniform. After listening, he nodded, told Xu Nuo a few more words and then walked out, thinking about what Xu Nuo had just said.
Instead of going to Yingcheng Courtyard, he went to the study room in the outer courtyard. In the space of a cup of tea, a figure flashed in.
"Alang, everyone who left the house yesterday has been brought here. The uncle has not sent anyone to investigate the matter of the mute poison in the past few days, and the eldest lady has not investigated either. When I followed the boss to ask questions just now, I heard that those maids and women With an accent, the Sixth Lady has already sent Grandma Li to ask who came out of the house yesterday, and I have already sent someone to ask."
A man dressed in black stood straight in front of Xu Gucheng and reported quickly.
Xu Gucheng was stunned for a moment and drew an arc at the corner of his mouth. His Liu Niang had indeed grown up and could stay calm and collected when encountering things. She actually sent someone to investigate before her elder brother.
The smile faded, and he put down the tea cup. His expression showed a little tiredness: "Brother actually... forget about my housework, I will take care of it myself. You have just come back Suye, so go and rest first."
If I had known that my elder brother would not take this matter to heart, I should have left Su Ye to investigate the matter. Now that ten days have passed, many things are not as convenient to investigate as it was then, and the evidence may have been destroyed.
There is no regret medicine in the world.
Just as Su Ye was about to retreat, Xu Gucheng stopped him again and said slowly: "Go and check out the Zicuckoo in Siniang's house and his brother."
At Xu Shi, Grandma Li and Mrs. Lu took Xu Nuo back. Her knees were swollen and the pain was severe when she walked. In order not to worry Mrs. Lu, she forced herself to walk back without saying a word.
After returning to the house, Chun Tang saw her swollen knees and almost cried. She choked and said, "Madam, the old lady is too cruel. The floor of the ancestral hall is cold and hard, and I won't let the little one give you gifts." Futon and knee pads…”
She dared to say something against the old lady. This girl was so courageous.
Xunuo looked at Chuntang, whose eyes were red, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a smile rippling in his eyes.
"Madam, why are you laughing again? This is not something to be happy about. I'd better avoid messing with the old lady in the future to avoid suffering." Chuntang babbled while applying medicine to Xu Nuo, telling the outside world that Xu Nuo had poisoned Lu. Shi, it turns a deaf ear to the words of an unfilial and unkind person.
"You are so brave, I'm afraid your eyes will be red every day if you follow me." Xunuo joked, since her father said he would find out these things, he would definitely do it, so she felt relieved and felt very relaxed.
My father is a trustworthy and dependable person.
Chuntang bit her lips and said after a while: "I'm just worried about you. My body is my own. You have to take care of it. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you give in a step or a half." The white cloth in his hand was slowly wrapped around Xu Nuo. on the lap.
"I know you are worried about me, but you need to be more courageous. Just like Grandma Li, she will not panic when encountering anything, but will do things in an orderly manner, and must find a way to solve problems. If you just give in blindly, , it will only make people think you are easy to bully, but it will actually increase the popularity of others."
Chuntang came from her mother and learned her mother's principles of "tolerating when you can, giving in when you can, and treating others kindly". However, her mother was protected by her father and assisted by Grandma Li. Chuntang's situation is completely different. Chuntang must change her perspective quickly, otherwise she may suffer a loss in the future.
Chuntang's eyes widened: "How can I compare with Grandma Li? She is the most proud person around Madam." He hesitated for a moment, then squeezed out another sentence: "I understand, I won't leave everything to others."
"It's good to know. I'll study hard with grandma these days. When she returns to her mother, I'll still have to rely on you." Xu Nuo lowered his voice as he spoke.
My mother is too kind and generous, and will not plan for her own interests, let alone fight for anything. First, her mother's nature is like this, and second, she is so well protected that she almost never suffers.
The Lu family protected my mother very well before she got married, and after arriving at the Xu family, my father protected her in every way. Otherwise, it would be impossible for my mother not to know that her knees would swell after kneeling for a day.
If she really left Nanny Li by her side, she would definitely not be able to let go without anyone watching from her mother's side.
Xu Nuo pondered for a moment and then said: "In July in the courtyard, you can clean up a room in the back room for her and send her clothes and jewelry."
Chuntang paused for a moment before answering: "Yes, are you planning to let Qiyue become a first-class maid? It's best to let Grandma Li fuck her first, so as not to know..." She stopped mid-sentence, The voice was crisp: "Tell Qiyue the rules, little one."
Xu Nuo nodded with satisfaction. Chuntang was still very smart. At least she understood the things in the room very well, but she was too gentle in her approach and not courageous enough.
On the second day, Qiu Qiu changed into the clothes of a first-class maid and came in with Chun Tang to wash Xu Nuo. Although she was not skilled, she was not timid either.
Xu Nuo rummaged through the jewelry box and rewarded Qi Qi with a gold hairpin and Chun Tang with a jade bracelet.
The two of them were stunned. The Sixth Lady had never given anything to her maidservant, but today she actually...
"Take it, I don't lack these things." Xu Nuo said with a smile, but in his heart he was thinking that the monthly calendar was not enough, so he had to find opportunities to make some money back.
Xu Nuo first went to Yingcheng Courtyard to say hello, but Xu Gucheng was not seen, so he and Lu had a sumptuous breakfast together, and then went to Langyuan Hall to say hello.
There were two strange faces in the room, Xu Qian was also there.
It is not surprising that Xu Qian was able to end the ban early.
After a few more glances, he recognized that these two people were from Aunt Du's natal family. Xu Liu Niang had seen them two or three times in the year she lived in the Xu Mansion, so she had some memories of them.
"Here we come." Mrs. Xu greeted expressionlessly. Mrs. Zhang looked away, obviously still angry.
Lu and Xu Nuo saluted in turn.
Xu Qian was beside Mrs. Zhang, her hand was held by Mrs. Zhang, with a faint smile on her face, she knelt down and saluted: "Mother."
Mrs. Lu smiled and asked her to stand up, then said hello to the two people, and gave the younger one a white jade hairpin. Apparently she already knew about the visitor from the Du family.
