While everyone was paying attention to the old lady's room, no one noticed that behind the crowd, Tingxiu's face was pale and she was so nervous that she almost fainted.
What happened to Mrs. Chen? Didn't the girl say that this powder won't kill people?
If she knew it was such a serious poison, she would never dare to pour the medicine into the medicine bottle.
The more Tingxiu thought about it, the more worried she became. Her upper and lower teeth kept touching each other uncontrollably, making a clicking sound, and her body began to shake slightly.
Just when she felt she was so nervous that she was about to vomit, she suddenly felt that the surroundings were unusually quiet.
She looked up cautiously and found that there was a large area of empty space around her.
Chen Jingke was standing in front of her, looking at her condescendingly.
"Master Biao..." Tingxiu shouted with a trembling voice.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Jingke said solemnly, "At this time, shouldn't you be at the inn with your girl?"
"Slave, slave..." Tingxiu didn't expect that Chen Jingke was asking about this matter, so she quickly said, "It's too cold at night. I came back to help the girl pick up some clothes. I heard someone said that the old lady's side...
"Our girl is also worried about the old lady's body, so I came over first to see what happened, so as not to ask the girl about it after I go back."
Chen Jingke's face brightened slightly when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "My cousin is thinking about it, but my cousin only brought you a personal maid, so you'd better stay with your cousin."
"Come here!" Chen Jingke gave the order, and two heroic female soldiers in military uniforms immediately came out.
"Master, please give me your orders!"
"You two will go take care of your cousin these days. If there is any heavy work or errands that need to be run, you can help with it."
"yes!"
"Okay, hurry up and accompany Tingxiu to pick up clothes and send them to your cousin.
"At this critical moment, it will be even more troublesome if my cousin catches a cold and gets sick again."
"Thank you, Master Biao, for your concern. I would like to thank Master Biao on behalf of the girl." Tingxiu let out a long breath, thinking that she really scared herself just now.
No one noticed when the medicine was administered just now, so it was even less likely that Young Master Biao would suspect him.
And now Chen Jingke's arrangement is exactly what she wants. She just wants to leave Sanli City, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible.
After he leaves, no matter what happens to Mrs. Chen, it will not be her fault.
The two female soldiers accompanied Tingxiu back to Xue Shanya's residence to get some clothes, and then went down the mountain.
But just halfway up the mountain, when no one was around, one of the female soldiers suddenly struck Tingxiu on the back of the neck with a palm knife.
Xue Shanya's shawl slipped from Tingxiu's hands and fell to the ground, and the white rabbit fur was stained with traces of mud.
Tingxiu collapsed to the ground. Two female soldiers, one holding her head and the other lifting her feet, covered her with a cloak and carried her away.
When Tingxiu woke up again, she was already in a cold and dark place.
Her eyes were still a little blurry, and she squinted hard to look at the surrounding environment.
The room was made of stone, and even the floor was made of large hard stone slabs.
There were no windows on the four walls, and there was only a vent on one side of the stone wall near the roof, blowing in cold wind.
There were very few things in the house, just a chair and a pile of dirty hay.
Tingxiu shook her head, trying to wake herself up, and then she couldn't help but let out a "hiss".
She raised her hand to rub the painful back of her neck, and finally slowly remembered what had happened.
So he was put in a cell?
Once she thought of this possibility, Tingxiu's heart stopped for a moment.
what on earth is it?
Did he expose something?
It shouldn’t be!
Chen Jingke clearly didn’t show anything before!
Just when Tingxiu was puzzled, the heavy stone door of the cell was suddenly pushed open, and Chen Jingke walked in with the two female soldiers with a serious face.
Although Chen Jingke was not as good as the weak champion, he had already followed his father on the battlefield and killed enemy soldiers.
So when he became serious, his aura was completely different from that of his peers, and even seemed to have a bit of murderous intent.
Tingxiu was already feeling guilty and scared, but when Chen Jingke stared at her like this, she quickly collapsed.
She squatted down suddenly, held her head in her hands, and cried loudly: "Young Master, I am wrong. It is none of my business. The old lady's affairs really have nothing to do with me. What do you want to know? I must know it." Nothing is left unsaid, no matter what is said.”
Chen Jingke originally wanted to interrogate her, but she didn't expect that she just looked at Tingxiu seriously and the other party started to do it. It was really boring.
Less than half an hour later, Chen Jingke and others took Tingxiu out of the dungeon, who was crying with snot and tears, and went straight down the mountain to the inn in the town where Mr. Xue's body was laid to rest.
When they arrived at the door of the inn, the two female soldiers released their arms that had been holding Tingxiu.
Chen Jingke said in a deep voice: "Do you know what to say when you go in?"
"Don't worry, Master Biao, I know this!" Tingxiu said with sobs.
"If you dare to ruin my business, you and your girl can go down together to bury your uncle with you!"
As Chen Jingke said this, he drew out his saber and cut off the horse-hitch posts in the inn yard.
Tingxiu was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost peed her pants.
The female soldier beside her stuffed her cloak into her arms, pushed her back, and pushed her directly into the inn.
The lobby of the inn has been cleaned up by the Chen family and decorated like a mourning hall. Mr. Xue's coffin is parked in the middle.
Xue Shanya, as the only junior present at this time, should have knelt in front of the soul to burn paper, but at this time she was sitting beside it without any image, with her back leaning against the pillar in the inn hall.
She threw a large pile of paper into the brazier in front of the soul, and the flames were almost extinguished, struggling to survive underneath.
Seeing Tingxiu coming back, Xue Shanya couldn't help complaining: "You still know how to come back? I asked you to do such a small thing, it's so slow!"
"G-girl..." Tingxiu stepped forward and put the shawl on Xue Shanya's shoulders.
"What's wrong with your throat? Why is your voice so hoarse?"
Tingxiu clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves.
In just a blink of an eye, she had already had several battles between heaven and man in her heart.
Xue Shanya complained for a long time. When she saw Tingxiu sitting there in a daze without any response, she immediately said impatiently: "What are you doing over there like a piece of wood? Why don't you hurry up and burn paper?"
“This brazier is too small, the fire is not strong, and the smell is very choking. It’s really annoying!
"Are you deaf when I talk to you? I've really had enough of you, forget it.
After hearing Xue Shanya's words, Tingxiu, who was still hesitating at first, made up her mind instantly.
She lowered her eyes and said, "Young lady, why don't you ask Mrs. Chen how she is doing?"
"No matter what she does! As long as she's not dead!" Xue Shanya wrapped her shawl tightly, and suddenly saw a stain on the hem, and immediately said unhappy, "Tell me what else can you do? I asked you to get a shawl back. It’s all stained!”
"Girl, there seems to be something wrong with the medicine you gave me. After Mrs. Chen took the medicine... she couldn't do it... Even Mrs. Tong shook her head..."
"What did you say?" Xue Shanya suddenly raised her voice, "The old woman is dead?
"Did you make a mistake? Did you do exactly what I told you?"
"Yes, I did it exactly as I was told." Tingxiu lowered her head. Xue Shanya took advantage of the fact that only the master and servant were in the mourning hall tonight, so she spoke without any concealment.
After Chen Jingke heard these words, she was finished.
In fact, Chen Jingke, who was hiding in the corner, was almost mad to death. If he hadn't been waiting to hear what she would say next, he would have wanted to go out and beat Xue Shanya up right now.
Tingxiu choked and asked, "Girl, what should we do now? Did the person who gave you the medicine make a mistake? Or did she lie to us?"
"It's impossible. Aunt Dong is the old lady's maid, and there are still people in her family in our Xue family. She can't trick anyone, but she can't trick the old lady and me!
"She told me very clearly before that this medicine just made the old lady feel a little uncomfortable.
"At that time, she will take the initiative to serve the old lady, and take the opportunity to tell the old lady about asking the master to come and solve the problem.
"When the master comes, he will say that someone has broken the feng shui of Sanli City, and it needs to be found someone with a certain birth date to break it.
"And my birthday and horoscope are so coincidental, they just match up perfectly!"
The more Xue Shanya talked, the more excited she became. When she thought of Chen Jingke's tall and handsome appearance, she couldn't help but laugh with her face in her hands.
"When the old lady calls me to serve, Aunt Dong will slowly give the old lady the antidote.
"When the time comes, as long as the old lady feels that her health is getting better day by day, she will naturally believe what the master said.
“Finally, Grandma Dong will ask the master to tell the old lady that only by letting my cousin marry me can the feng shui of Sanli City be completely restored.
"When the time comes, I can't help the old lady not believing it, and I can't help my cousin disobeying me!"
Chen Jingke stood behind the white elegiac couplet, listening to Xue Shanya saying these shameless words in front of her own grandfather's funeral hall, and she was shaking with anger.
Even his granddaughter has become like this. It's no wonder that Mr. Xue insists on traveling all the way here when his deadline is approaching, just so that his sister will no longer be led by her parents and deceived by them.
Thinking of this, Chen Jingke looked at Mr. Xue's memorial tablet in the darkness, feeling a burst of gratitude and deep sadness in his heart.
Tingxiu continued: "Girl, is Aunt Dong trying to harm us?"
"Stop thinking nonsense." Xue Shanya wrapped her cloak and leaned against the pillar, found a comfortable position, yawned and said, "Look at the brazier, I have to sleep for a while.
"My cousin will definitely come over tomorrow morning, but I can't let him see my haggard and ugly look."
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Chen Jingke suddenly walked out from behind the curtain and appeared in front of her.
"No matter what you look like, when I see you now, I feel nothing but disgust and disgust!"
