In Youshi, Xu Nuo took Qiyue back to Song's house. ? happy? arts? novel www..com
When Lu Jiuniang saw the two of them coming back, she immediately stepped forward to close the door and said, "We are finally back. Song Dalang invited us to have dinner. He has already sent people to do so twice."
As soon as Xu Nuo heard this, he knew that he couldn't put it down, so he immediately called Chuntang over, his voice low and fast: "Chun Tang, find me some clothes with a heavier color, and add two more headdresses."
While talking, he took off his clothes.
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Chun Tang took the clothes that had been prepared from the hangers, helped Xu Nuo change them, and brought two gold combs to decorate her.
After cleaning up, several people hurried to the banquet.
After dinner, it was still dark, Xu Nuo said he was tired and wanted to rest, so he went back to the house first.
Lu Jiuniang and Hu Ling sat for a while and then left one after another.
The remaining people in the hall chatted and talked about what happened in the peony garden today.
Song Jiao asked Xu Pingyi: "Xu Dalang, you followed the officials today. What did they say?"
Xu Pingyi was holding the teacup in trance, but when someone called him, his hands shook and he almost spilled the tea.
"Brother Song, I just helped protect the scene. I don't know how the government's investigation is going." Xu Pingyi tactfully explained that Mrs. Wu's death today was not an accident, but a murder, but he couldn't say no matter how detailed it was. He didn't want to talk about it, after all, Ji Xuan told him that, and Ji Xuan's discovery had not yet been told to the government.
"So? It's such a pity that a good peony flower viewing was ruined like this! The poem I wrote..." Song Jiao seemed a little unhappy, shook his head and stopped talking.
Hearing this, Ding Mo said: "What happened today needs to be decided by the government. It seems that the peony feast will not end because of this. At most, the garden will be closed. Should you go to the peony garden tomorrow? Go, you can’t delay your poem writing, but some timid ladies may not go again tomorrow.”
…
On the other side, Xu Nuo told Lu Jiuniang what Ji Xuan told her.
She knew that Lu Jiuniang liked to make inferences, so she did not tell her the results directly, but listed the clues she had collected.
Lu Jiuniang thought for a while. Said: "Liu Niang. Who do you think poisoned her? Who wanted to harm her? I can't figure it out."
Madam Wu is just an embroiderer, and she would not let anyone use such poison to kill her.
After speaking, something flashed through Lu Jiuniang's mind. Suddenly her eyes widened, she looked at Xu Nuo in disbelief, and murmured: "It can't be her, it shouldn't be. It's just a small thing, even if she has a strong self-esteem. It won't be like this, not to mention she doesn't have the ability to get it. Drunk flower dream."
Xu Nuo chuckled and said, "It's not her, but it will be her."
Lu Jiuniang frowned. He said: "Someone wants to frame Xu Qian? I can't think of a reason. No one would do this. Xu Qian didn't offend anyone when she came to the capital."
Xu Nuo didn't expect that she just said something specious. Lu Jiuniang deduced the result and couldn't help but be impressed by Lu Jiuniang's analytical ability.
Xu Nuo shook his head. He said helplessly: "She is just a pawn, and others who frame her may not necessarily be targeting her. Do you know what information I got from Madam Wu's maid?"
"Say it quickly, I almost forgot it." After Xu Nuo jumped out of the fast-moving carriage, Lu Jiuniang kept her heart hanging, but Hu Ling, who was traveling with her, didn't care at all and said she was timid.
She was nervous all afternoon and forgot to ask the most important thing when she met Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo smiled mysteriously, put his arm around Lu Jiuniang's shoulders, and whispered in her ear.
In addition to her personal maid, Mrs. Wu came to Luoyang this time, and she also had a rough servant. When she promised to return to the Peony Garden, Mrs. Wu's personal servant had been taken away by the government. After searching for a while, she found that Qiyue was having sex with a rough servant. The envoy's maid asked.
Hu Ling glanced at the two people who were attentive, and felt bored, so he continued to pay attention to the situation outside to avoid what he said here being overheard.
"The maid said that her wife has not been out since she went to Ning Prince's Mansion once, and she has not seen any guests. If she saw anyone, it was Xu Qian. Xu Qian also brought some tea when she went."
When Lu Jiuniang heard this, she straightened up and said in disbelief: "Is she stupid? Is she being taken advantage of like this?"
Xu Nuo shrugged and continued: "Mrs. Wu originally wanted to smash the tea ball. Her personal maid advised her that the tea would improve her eyesight, but she thought about it and didn't smash it."
Lu Jiuniang frowned and said firmly: "It's impossible. I looked at the scene on my grandfather's birthday. Madam Wu would not drink the tea given by Xu Qian for this reason..."
Xunuo showed a childish expression and said: "Exactly, do you know what Madam Wu did when she went to Prince Ning's Mansion last time? That day, the head of Jiaren County commissioned Madam Wu to help her embroider large sleeves with peony patterns, and for this Gave her an invitation to a peony banquet."
"So, Madam Wu came to the peony feast mainly to observe the flower shapes and embroider clothes for Lord Jiaren County? Could it be that she couldn't see clearly, so in order to embroider the peonies well, she drank the wine Xu Qian gave her Tea. Before the officials came, the ladies who drank tea with Madam Wu also said that Madam Wu invited them to drink tea that could improve their eyesight."
Lu Jiuniang followed the promised clues and uncovered the truth, and her heart suddenly went cold.
What is the Lord Jiaren County doing?
Xu Nuo lowered her arm from Lu Jiuniang and said in a cold voice: "Remember the birthday gift we gave to Lord Jiaren County? She didn't fight back afterwards, as if it didn't happen."
Lu Jiuniang nodded and asked solemnly: "Why, is it related to this matter?"
Hu Ling rushed over with one stride, pointing with one hand outside, with the other on her hips, and said disgustedly: "I know her best. As long as there is the slightest displeasure, or someone is in her way, she will find a way to fight back. I think this time it will be her response."
"Sanniang is right. The Jiaren County Lord is seeking revenge this time." Xu Nuo's voice became colder as he spoke. He paused for a moment and continued: "Xu Qian was picked up by the Jiaren County Lord's people when she came to the capital. From that time on Xu Qian is a chess piece, a chess piece used to destroy the Xu family. Moreover, today I learned from Madam Wu’s maid that Madam Wu will go to the Xu Mansion to teach female workers, which was arranged by the head of Jiaren County. "
"Does Xu Qian know that Mrs. Wu is from the head of Jiaren County?" Seeing Xu Nuo lowering her head, Lu Jiuniang thought she was sad and hurriedly took her hand and squeezed it twice.
"Of course she knows, otherwise there wouldn't have been the scene on Mrs. Hu's birthday. Now the Lord Jiaren County is taking advantage of what happened that day to make another move." Xu Nuo raised his head and showed a smile, indicating that he was fine.
"Liu Niang, how can a rough servant know so much? It's really strange. My servant doesn't even know what I do, let alone a rough servant." Hu Ling was listening with her chin on one side and suddenly asked this question .
Xunuo was amused by Hu Ling's strange focus and said: "You rarely let your maids in, and you never take them with you when you go out. How do they know what you have done? Madam Wu is different. Her family is not around, only a few If you rely on your maid, any smart person will know what happens in her courtyard."
When Hu Ling heard this, he felt that this was indeed the case and couldn't help but laugh.
"Liu Niang, I also have doubts." Lu Jiuniang asked after going over the matter in her mind.
"how?"
"First, could the maid who persuaded Mrs. Wu to drink tea every day be a member of the Jiaren County Lord? Second, since the Jiaren County Lord wanted to frame the Xu family, why did he use such a complicated method? In fact, it is more practical A simple poison will do.”
Xunuo looked at Lu Jiuniang, her eyes were calm and deep, but her voice was a little heavy, and she said: "That maid has been taken away by the government now. If she is from Jiaren County Lord, she will not survive tonight. If not, there is still a way to survive." . As for why the head of Jiaren County used Zui Hua Meng, I am afraid it is because she has always liked to use complicated methods to kill people with borrowed knives. The more complicated the case, the safer she is. If other poisons are used, I am afraid that they cannot achieve this effect, and it is difficult to make Mrs. Wu completely innocent. Death aware of it.”
"Ji Wulang said that this poison is difficult to detect. What if the officials can't detect it?" Lu Jiuniang asked after knowing that Xu Nuo had persuaded Ji Xuan today and not let Ji Xuan tell the drunken flower dream.
"If we can't find out, it can only mean that we wrongly blamed County Master Jiaren, and our inference was wrong."
The implication of the promise is that the head of Jiaren County will secretly help the government find out the cause of Mrs. Wu's death.
The government has spent a lot of effort to find the murderer, and it is likely that the case will be closed and no further investigation will be carried out. This is probably why the head of Jiaren County chose this method.
After saying the promise, he reached out and removed all the hair accessories on his head, placed them on the table beside him, scattered his hair, and combed it into a ponytail.
"Liu Niang, what are you going to do?" Lu Jiuniang was still trying to figure out the case, but was shocked by the promise.
"You can't just watch people die like this." Xu Nuo smiled playfully and took out a dagger from the box.
Mrs. Wu's maidservant was likely to be killed by Lord Jiaren County, so she had to save her. (To be continued.)
