Aunt Qiu has a companion.
"Ah Dong, we haven't been together for a long time."
Aunt Dong smiled: "Yes, it's been a long time." Her eyes drifted to the back of the kitchen.
The red plums are boiling medicine there.
Xu Wanning took Xu Qian, his wife and Cui Qingping out to relax. They were the only servants in the entire Ningyuan.
After they went out for a while, Xu Qian and Lu were about to take medicine.
"A-Dong, what are you thinking about?" Aunt Qiu said nonchalantly. Aunt Dong just responded with a yes, and Aunt Qiu could see that she was absent-minded.
Aunt Dong smiled and said, "Ah Qiu, I may not have slept well last night. Can you lend me your room to lie down for a while?"
Aunt Qiu nodded: "Okay, you go ahead. I just have to go to the kitchen to get food. You go to bed quickly. When the young master comes back later, you won't have time to rest."
"good."
Aunt Dong got into the house and lay on the bed.
She didn't sleep at all, but pricked her ears to listen to the sounds outside.
"Hongmei, I'm going to get the food. I'm afraid I won't be able to get it by myself. Let's go together."
"Okay, Aunt Qiu, wait for me. I'll put out the fire."
There was no movement outside. After a while, I heard the footsteps of two people and the sound of the courtyard door closing.
Aunt Dong, who was lying in the room, got up as soon as the carp stood up.
He tiptoed outside and carefully slipped towards the small kitchen.
The medicine jar was sitting on the stove. Aunt Dong didn't care about scalding it. She opened the jar, shook the medicine powder that had been prepared a long time ago into it, stirred it, and placed it as it was.
After finishing all this, Aunt Dong returned to Aunt Qiu's house, and there were sounds from outside.
It's Xu Wanning and the others who are back.
"Mom and Dad, go sit down for a while, you're going to take medicine soon."
Aunt Dong pretended to have just woken up and walked out. She didn't see Cui Qingping, so she asked Xu Wanning: "Young madam, where is the young master?"
"He said he was bored, so he went to his mother's place." Xu Wanning helped Mrs. Lu into the house without even looking at Aunt Dong.
Xu Qian also followed in, followed by Xu Jia, the adopted son of the Xu family.
Aunt Dong asked for trouble. She turned her head and looked in the direction of the kitchen, then quickly walked out of Ningyuan.
Just in time to catch up with Nanny Qiu and Hongmei coming back with rice.
"A-Dong, where are you going?"
"I'll go find the madam. The young master is there."
"Oh, come here often when you have time!"
Aunt Dong smiled and felt relaxed. She guessed that she would not have time to come during this time, as there was a happy event at home.
As soon as she left, Xu Wanning asked Hongmei to bring the medicine boiled in the jar.
The dregs of the medicine were not mixed with anything, but the decoction...
Xu Jia could tell something was wrong as soon as he smelled it.
"This medicine was drugged."
"What is it?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen."
Xu Wanning also went along.
Aunt Dong made it very clean, but it was a pity that she forgot to wash the spoon she used to stir the soup, and there was still some undissolved powder on it. Xu Jia tasted it on his tongue and spit it out immediately.
"It's a life-threatening powder. This medicine will not work immediately if you take it, but it will accumulate in the internal organs and cannot be excreted. Gradually, the poison corrodes the organs, and people will gradually become unable to eat, feel listless, and vomit. , even if the doctor comes to check, they will only think that it is excessive grief. The patient cannot get treatment and can only die slowly in unconscious pain. The time can be long or short. Some people are more tolerant of pain. It may take three or two months. Some people have poor pain tolerance, and it can take up to half a month.”
Xu Wanning's body was shaking. She held on to the wall to hold herself back from falling.
The symptoms Xu Jia mentioned were both experienced by my mother and father in their previous lives.
My mother left in half a month, and my father only managed to hold on for three months or so before she also let go. Doctors said that it was due to excessive grief and excessive worry, which hurt the root of the disease, and it was a heart disease.
After her rebirth, she thought her parents were worried too much, but now, it turns out that all of this was the work of Cui Yunfeng and his gang.
"Cui Yunfeng, go to hell!" Xu Wanning was in agony and burst into tears.
Xu Jia took a step forward and hugged Xu Wanning, "It's okay, Aning, dad and mom haven't eaten yet. As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt dad and mom."
Fortunately, Aning was cautious and wrote a letter asking him to come over, otherwise...
Xu Jia couldn't even imagine it.
Xu Wanning leaned into Xu Jia's arms, tears streaming down her face.
Yes, it’s not too late, my parents haven’t eaten yet.
But the father and mother in the previous life, they just ate it, they ate it.
Cui Yunfeng's voice came from outside, "Mom and dad, how are you today?"
That scumbag is here.
Xu Wanning stopped crying, she wiped away her tears, her dark eyes were terrifyingly calm, "Brother, let's go in."
He had to take the medicine, and he had to take it in front of Cui Yunfeng.
Xu Jia had been prepared for a long time. He did not use the medicine prescribed by the previous doctor. Instead, he prepared a decoction to nourish blood and calm the nerves. Xu Wanning took it in.
"Mom and Dad, take your medicine."
Cui Yunfeng's face showed joy: "Mom, you need to take medicine. That doctor is very famous. If you drink her medicine, you will get better soon."
Mrs. Lu hummed, took it, and drank it in small sips.
Xu Qian was much more generous. He tried not to burn it and finished the drink in three or four gulps, leaving an empty bowl.
After Mrs. Lu finished drinking the bowl of medicine, her face looked bitter. Xu Wanning immediately gave a candied fruit and stuffed it into Mrs. Lu's mouth.
Mr. Lu frowned, "An Ning, these candied fruits are not fresh."
Xu Wanning said, "Then I will ask Qing Xing to go out and buy some every day, so that I can eat fresh food every day."
Cui Yunfeng also said, "Yes, buy fresh ones."
After he finished speaking, his eyes involuntarily drifted to the two empty medicine bowls, and he couldn't stop the smile on his lips.
"Everything will be fine." Cui Yunfeng said.
He didn't say what everything was.
Xu Wanning took Lu's hand and said, "Yes, Mom, you will get better soon."
Cui Yunfeng did not comment.
In his heart, everything is not equal to the Xu family, everything he says belongs to him!
Aunt Dong went to Yannianyuan.
Du Shi is waiting for her.
"Nuo, this is the silver reward. Take it. Which girl from the Marquis's residence do you like? You can choose whatever you want."
Aunt Dong looked at the one thousand taels of silver notes in her hand, her heart almost bubbling with beauty, "I want to go back and ask the child for his opinion."
"That's true. When he marries a wife, he wants to choose one he likes." Du Shi smiled: "But after I have chosen her, I can't let you take her away, lest it be too eye-catching."
"I know. I can wait."
It's all vegetables in the bowl, but I'm afraid the duck will fly away.
According to what Xu Wanning said, Qingxing went out once a day to buy preserves. In fact, she went to Ren'antang to see the two An brothers. When she came back, she told Mrs. Xu about the situation of An Geer and Mr. Xu, and then told the situation in Chang'an. Listen to the lady.
She remembered things and wanted to solve them quickly, so when she went out, she was not prepared for someone to bump into her on purpose.
"What are you doing? Are you walking without eyes?" Qingxing opened her mouth and cursed.
The person opposite said reluctantly: "It was obviously you who bumped into my arms."
Qingxing raised her eyes and saw a carefree, slovenly man who didn't look like a good guy.
The man was staring at her intently, as if he had found a good prey. She didn't like this look, "Forget it."
Qingxing turned around and left.
But the man continued to follow behind and said glibly: "Girl, please don't leave. Are you a maid from the Hou Mansion? Why have I never seen you before!"
Qingxing glanced at the man, who looked unfamiliar and didn't recognize him. She didn't want to pay attention to him and quickened her pace.
The man stuck to it like a dog-skin plaster: "Hey, girl, wait for me, you haven't answered my question yet!"
Qingxing returned to the Hou Mansion after shopping.
Returning to Ningyuan, I gave the candied fruit to Hongmei, feeling very angry.
Hongmei asked her: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry!"
"I stepped on a pile of dog poop as soon as I stepped out!" Qing Xing said angrily.
