Concubine Sun picked up the tea cup and took a careful sip. After putting down the tea cup, she folded her hands on her legs and said with a dignified smile: "Xu Dalang is a good person who remembers people. He just gave me a handful of jade Ruyi. [None] Pop-up Novel Network] Although my eyesight is not working well, I can tell by touching it that this piece of jade is Ruyi's carving with excellent craftsmanship. It's rare that he still remembers me."
Concubine Sun smiled, and the wrinkles on her face were a little more obvious, but she was less majestic than before and more kind.
During lunch, more than a dozen good-looking and well-proportioned maids came in briskly carrying silver plates and setting the plates.
The lunch prepared by the Qian Mansion was very exquisite. The pastries included plum blossom cakes, Qiqiao dim sum, Ruyi cakes, and sweet-scented osmanthus chestnut cakes. The plates were exquisite, with four pieces in each plate. The rest of the meals are also very exquisite, but not in large portions.
This amount is enough for ordinary women, but it is completely insufficient for Xu Nuo.
She restrained herself for a long time before eating all the food on her dining table. She reservedly left only one-third of the food on each plate, and looked at it reluctantly.
In the end, he forced himself to put down his chopsticks for the sake of Mrs. Lu and Lu Erniang.
Hu Ling naturally noticed the appearance of Xu Nuo Yi Bingran putting down chopsticks, and then remembered her huge appetite, suddenly realized, and when no one was looking, he exchanged several plates on his dining table with hers.
Xu Nuo glanced at Hu Ling gratefully and started eating.
Xu Nuo was feeling grateful and happily eating the food from the plate that Hu Ling had brought over, when he suddenly heard someone screaming from the opposite side and hurriedly swallowed everything in his mouth. He looked up and saw that the bastard was shouting there. His face was full of panic, and he didn't know where to put his hands, but he raised them above his head. Mrs. Guo fell on the food table. The overturned tea cup soaked her sleeves, and the silver plate fell to the floor.
Hu Ling reacted quickly and stood up immediately. When she was about to go out, she found that Xunuo was one step ahead of her. She thought to herself that Xunuo was so carried away with eating just now, why did she suddenly run so fast?
The two of them arrived at Guo's side one after another.
He promised to touch Guo's wrist, but was slapped open.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the hem of the skirt of the person who hit her hand. Then he knew it was the bastard, so he stretched out his hand again without even raising his eyes. Pinch Guo's wrist.
The bastard bitch already looked down on Xu Nuo, and because of what happened last time at Prince Ning's Mansion, she really couldn't stand Xu Nuo, and was ready to pounce on Xu Nuo and push her away. Unexpectedly, as soon as he lifted his leg, he was blocked by an arm.
Hu Ling's facial expression stopped her in front of the bastard. He said in a deep voice: "If you don't want your mother to die, don't yell or do unnecessary things."
The bastard had been a little afraid of Hu Ling, who was very good at martial arts. Now she was threatened by Hu Ling with a dark face. She backed away without saying a word and looked at Xu Nuo with resentful eyes. As for her stepmother Guo's comfort, she didn't care at all. .
This is Kung Fu. Many people had already gathered around him, with worries on their faces. But there is no shortage of people waiting to see the show.
After all, Mrs. Guo was engaged to the Qian family in the past, and now she suddenly fainted at the Qian family. Who knows what happened here.
After seeing Mrs. Guo fainting, Lu Erniang directly sent her capable maid to ask for the doctor from the Duke's Mansion, so she rushed over one step slower than everyone else.
When she came through the crowd, she saw Xu Nuo holding Guo and letting her lie flat on the ground, and her heart trembled suddenly.
She promised her sister that she would let Liu Niang end the day safely without any influence. Unexpectedly, Liu Niang stepped forward without hesitation. She was the only one among them all who cared about Guo's life at this moment and put herself in the unknown. People in trouble.
If Mrs. Guo has any shortcomings, anyone who touches her will definitely be questioned or even criticized.
The rest of the people were also surprised by Xu Nuo's behavior. After all, if something like this happened, except for close relatives, everyone would stay away. At most, they would just watch the fun. They didn't expect the Sixth Lady of the Xu family to be so brainless and rush off like this. Go up.
While Xu Nuo was observing Guo's face, someone asked: "Did he go?"
Xu Nuo raised his eyes and saw a very young woman with a bun in a bun. She shook her head inwardly. What kind of family's new daughter-in-law couldn't speak like that?
"No, Mrs. Wang is not breathing smoothly at the moment, so let her sleep more smoothly." Xu Nuo has a quick and professional response to such emergencies because of his previous life's work. This response has nothing to do with his own emotions and is completely instinctive.
She has always been keen and has strong observation skills. She already had a rough idea about the matter in her mind, but she knew that she could not say too much in this status and situation, so after making sure that there were no omissions, she stood up and went to Lu Eryi Next to my mother.
Knowing that Xu Nuo had something to say, Lu Erniang took a few steps away from the crowd.
The actions of the two aroused people's curiosity, but no one said anything, they just listened carefully.
Lu's expression remained unchanged among the crowd. She saw all the movements of Liu Niang rushing to Guo like a arrow and the subsequent careful inspection. She was not worried in her heart, but she was inexplicably relieved. Fortunately, her daughter did not become the kind of person who abides by the rules. As for the trouble that may arise, just like Liu Niang said, just try your best to solve it.
Xu Nuo said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "My aunt has prepared this birthday banquet. Do you know that there is peanut powder in the Ruyi cake?"
The word "peanut powder" made many thoughts flash through Lu Eryi's mind, and she said quickly without any hesitation: "I know, the concubine personally proposed to add this snack to the birthday banquet, but I already knew that Guo's Peanuts are not allowed, so someone specially prepared a Ruyi cake without peanut powder for her."
After hearing this, Xu Nuo understood the matter a little better and said without changing her expression: "Auntie, please hurry up and have people in the kitchen guarded. No one can go out, and..."
Lu Erniang frowned slightly after hearing this, but she went to give orders without saying a word.
When Xu Nuo ate her share of Ruyi cake, she didn't find any peanut powder in it. Later, when she ate the Ruyi cake that Hu Ling exchanged for, she tasted the peanut powder in it. The peanut flavor was very obvious. With her sense of taste, it was impossible not to taste it before.
It can be seen that there is no peanut powder in her Ruyi Cake.
Later, when I checked Guo's pulse, I found that Guo had a wheal rash on her arm, her face was edematous, her breathing was extremely difficult, and her pulse was extremely weak. It was obvious that she was suffering from anaphylactic shock.
Although she has never studied Chinese medicine, she has no problem simply distinguishing the strength of the pulse and a person's physical condition.
Allergies are acute and will develop within two-quarters of an hour. However, judging from the condition of Guo's skin, it can be concluded that her body must have already reacted before she went into shock. Her throat may have swollen long ago, and it is impossible for her body not to feel uncomfortable.
Under such circumstances, Guo actually remained silent until she went into shock.
Moreover, the flavor of peanut powder in Ruyi Gao is very obvious. If Guo's snack contains peanut powder, and she knows that she is allergic to peanuts, she should see a doctor immediately.
After Ms. Lu finished her instructions, the doctor happened to arrive and hurriedly diagnosed Mr. Guo.
The doctor was a man over fifty years old, so the ladies and ladies who had been there hid behind the hastily erected screen. Only Qian An, who came from the front yard, Concubine Sun, Lu Ershiniang and her mother-in-law were present.
The doctor gave Guo acupuncture and prescribed some medicine. He shook his head and said that Guo was too careless and ate food containing peanuts even though he knew he was allergic to peanuts.
As soon as these words came out, many eyes fell on Lu Erniang through the gaps in the screen.
Lu Erniang didn't seem to notice the eyes on the other side of the screen. She just thanked the doctor and had Mrs. Guo carried to the side room.
Then, he apologized to the ladies with a smile and said some polite words, meaning that this is the end of today's birthday banquet, everyone please come back.
People left with their own thoughts.
After everyone left, Concubine Sun called Lu Ershiniang and her husband Qian Yan to her room, while her son and daughter-in-law were sent away.
Lu Erniang saluted calmly and did not kneel down as the concubine expected.
Qian Yan knelt on the ground and said in a heavy voice: "Grandma, your grandson is unfilial and you have been wronged." The wonderful birthday banquet was interrupted midway, and he felt extremely guilty in his heart, not to mention that this happened to Guo. , although he has no feelings for Guo and no contact with her, but in the eyes of outsiders, this matter is somewhat subtle.
Concubine Sun hummed and turned her gaze to Lu Erniang: "Did you know that Mrs. Guo is allergic to peanuts?" She asked Lu Eryi to serve the Ruyi Cake. If Lu Erniang answered that she didn't know, then She is responsible for this.
Unexpectedly, Lu Erniang said yes.
Concubine Sun and Qian Ai looked at her with wide eyes at the same time.
Lu Ershiniang smiled lightly: "My granddaughter-in-law knew that, so she specially asked the kitchen to prepare a Ruyi cake without peanut powder. I didn't want that snack to be served by mistake and was sent to the dining table of granddaughter-in-law's niece Xu Liuniang."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Sun's eyes became dark. How could she not see that someone was behind this after living for so many years.
"However, Mrs. Wang did not use the wrong Ruyi cake with peanut powder that was sent to her. Among the four snacks, she only used osmanthus and chestnut cake, and my granddaughter-in-law found peanut powder on the sweet-scented osmanthus and chestnut cake." Lu Twenty Yi Niang's voice was calm and she told the truth about what she found out.
Mr. Guo is extremely picky about food and doesn't like sweets, so he only picked the smallest piece of sweet-scented osmanthus and chestnut cake to eat.
So, at least two people are at fault?
One person substituted Guo's Ruyi Cake without peanut flour, and the other added peanut flour to the Osmanthus Chestnut Cake.
Concubine Sun always trusted Lu Erniang. After the confirmation just now, she ensured that Lu Erniang had nothing to do with this matter. The stone in her heart was relieved, and she spoke out to let her grandson get up.
Qian, who had been kneeling for a long time, became excited and glanced at Twenty-one Mother, and said in a deep voice, "I'll check, you don't have to worry."
Lu Erniang smiled, her smile was very faint, but still bright: "Since someone wants to harm me, I naturally have to find out who that person is. Master, you are so prepared to deal with people from the Wang family. I will find out this matter." , give the Wang family an explanation."
When something like this happened to Mrs. Guo, the first thing everyone thought of was her, thinking that she was too small-minded to tolerate a woman who was once engaged to her husband.
But she, Lu Erniang, has never been a petty person, she has always been magnanimous. (To be continued...)
