Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 66
Bai Shi was locked in the house for many days and refused to see anyone, her eye sockets were sunken and bags under her eyes were swollen, and her eyes were bloodshot. Even though she was wearing a bright red dress with moiré patterns and covered her face with thick powder, she still looked very handsome. A sense of vicissitudes.

Li Taiwei paused, stepped forward to salute, and called the second aunt.

Bai Shi seemed to be suffering from a serious illness, and her steps were a little vain. She nodded slightly at Li Tai, and forced a smile:

"Good boy, thank you for making this trip."

After saying that, she glanced over Li Taiwei's shoulder and looked at Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao came back to pay her respects to her mother-in-law.

"You child, how can you avoid me after such a big incident happened? Instead, let a girl named Wei worry about her at home and abroad."

Bai-shi cast a glance at Zhao-shi who was looking restless, and said a few words of blame in a soft voice.

Zhao's face was pale, and she lowered her head.

Li Yao looked left and right, stepped forward to call her sister-in-law, and greeted Li Taiwei again.

Li Taiwei nodded and said to Bai Shi:

"Second aunt has been feeling unwell for the past few days, and my sister-in-law is also afraid of disturbing my aunt's rest, so she asked me to discuss it. Now that Biao Aunt Xue is fine, auntie doesn't have to worry about it."

"Today's incident is strange. The doctor said that Cousin Xue was poisoned because she ate the Soul Eater Grass by mistake. But the servants in the mansion are all trustworthy old people. I thought I'd better ask my second uncle to go back to the mansion. good."

Bai's chest calmed down for a moment, and she turned to look at Xue Suqin who was sleeping on the couch, her gaze was piercing.

"Since I'm here, there's no need to alarm Second Master about this matter."

Bai's complexion was not very good, and she winked at Nanny Qin behind her, who stepped forward, took out a handful of silver melon seeds from her sleeve, and handed them to the doctor, saying:

"Our girl ate the wrong medicinal material today, and that's why she's not feeling well. It's a reward from my wife for Dr. Lao's consultation. I hope you will keep your mouth shut."

There was no reason for the doctor not to answer, he hurriedly bowed to answer a few words, thanked Bai Shi, and then carried the medicine box on his back and was sent out by Mother Qin herself.

"I haven't been feeling well for the past few days, so I didn't go to see your mother in the Spring Garden. I'm really happy to hear that she's pregnant with twins."

Bai Shi forced a smile, stepped forward and gently took Li Taiwei's hand.

Bai's palms were cold, Mrs. Li smiled and said a few polite words.

"The wing room is still in chaos, the princess might as well go to the flower hall with sister Yao to drink tea, as long as my aunt is here."

Bai said with a smile.

Hearing Bai Shi's words, Li Taiwei naturally didn't want to stay longer, turned around to look at Xue Shi, and gave Bai Shi a blessing:
"Since Auntie is here, I'm going back to the Spring Garden. I haven't visited my mother today. I'll drink tea with my fourth sister someday."

After speaking, he turned to Li Yao and said:
"A few days ago, the fourth girl from Jin Yushi's family invited me to go to the house to appreciate flowers tomorrow. There was also a post for my younger sister. I have been busy these days and didn't bother to send it. If the fourth younger sister is free, you may as well come with me." go."

Li Yao looked at Bai Shi, bit her lips and said:
"Third sister, my mother's health has just recovered. I'd better go with my sister next time. Please thank Miss Jin Si for my kindness."

Li Taiwei nodded without forcing her.

The Bai family didn't keep Li Taiwei any longer, and asked Li Yao to send her out in person, leaving only the Zhao family to talk inside.

After sending it all the way out of Qiutang Courtyard, Li Yao turned back.

Li Taiwei turned around and took a look, then said to Dafu:

"You're traveling fast, hurry up to the Spring Garden to see if Huayan has come back, if she comes back, ask her to bring the cakes directly to my room."

Nian Xia laughed a little at the sound, thinking that Li Taiwei was getting hungry.

"It doesn't matter here, you go to Yunshuiju to visit my mother, if she asks about what happened just now, just tell the truth."

Nian Xia nodded, sent Li Taiwei to Fangfei Garden, and then returned to Yunshuijuli.

After a while, Dafu led Huayan into the yard.

Li Taiwei ordered Dafu to send the cakes to the small kitchen for steaming, and sent the maid out of the room, leaving only Huayan to comb her hair again.

After everyone left, Li Taiwei asked:

"How? Did you find anything?"

Hua Yan neatly tied a hanging cloud bun for Li Taiwei, and said in a low voice:

"Back to the princess, it just so happened that the prince sent someone to check the Dongji incense powder shop yesterday. The shopkeeper's surname was Zhou and his name was Youcai. He has been making a living in the rivers and lakes for several years, and he has been in the capital for less than a year. This shop was sold in the name of the former owner. It is not yet known who the owner is behind the scenes. After the shop ran out of water the day before yesterday, Zhou Youcai hid in the ghost market. Haven't been able to find it yet."

Li Taiwei took a breath, the old widower was also looking for this person, what a coincidence?

Thinking of Huayan being tight-lipped about Lu Xiao's matter, she didn't intend to touch this soft nail, so she said:
"You should keep an eye on this matter. If you have any news, please tell me in time."

Huayan finished her bun, and carefully inserted the red hairpins for Li Taiwei.

Li Taiwei thought about the matter of the second room just now, and recalled the look in the eyes of the second aunt just now, and said to Hua Yan:

"One more thing, you go find a young boy you don't know, go to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites to look for my second uncle, tell him that something happened at the house, and tell him to go back to the house as soon as possible."

"This matter has to be done secretly. Don't go out through the main entrance. Don't let others notice."

Huayan froze in her hand and nodded.

When it was time to light the lanterns, the second master Li Qin hurried back to the mansion. Li Rui hurried back when he heard about this.

It happened that Xue Suqin just woke up after drinking the medicine
Soon, Qiutang Courtyard became noisy again.

Li Shengcai went back to the mansion and changed his clothes. He heard the commotion in the Qiutang courtyard from a distance, and after inquiring with Zhaohe carefully, he found out that such a thing happened in the mansion.Left and right are matters in Li Qin's backyard, and Li Sheng will not interfere, so he asks the concierge to listen carefully. If the second room sends someone, don't delay, report to Yunshuiju immediately.

Li Taiwei leaned over the show building and looked in the direction of Qiutang Courtyard. It took a while for the noise to subside.

After a while, Huayan came over from the bushes, saluted Li Taiwei, and said:
"Ms. Xue woke up and told the second master that there are people in the mansion who can't tolerate her. She has no face to live as a lost girl. Just now, she bumped into a pillar, but she was stopped by her mother-in-law."

Listening to Huayan's voice without any ups and downs, Li Taiwei felt a little uncomfortable, and still asked unwillingly:
"and after?"

Hua Yan paused, then continued:
"She also said that even if she entered the house, she didn't know when she would be killed quietly. She begged the second master to let her move outside, but the second master didn't make a sound."

Li Taiwei curled her lips, this Xue family is really not easy, poisoned herself and then blamed the second house mistress.Neither the second aunt nor the elder sister-in-law can pick it clean today.

But Li Taiwei thought about it carefully, and felt that something was wrong.

The Xue family has not yet come to make this marriage, Xue is not a serious concubine at this time, it is too late to be a child in the second room, how dare she compete with the second aunt so openly?Isn't she afraid to offend the second aunt and prevent her from entering?
And. No trouble in the morning and no trouble in the evening, after the Dongji incense powder shop was drained
Something flashed in Li Taiwei's mind, and she almost missed it.She raised her eyes suddenly, staring at Huayan with burning eyes and asked:
"What about the second aunt? What did she say?"

Huayan made Li Taiwei feel palpitations inexplicably at this glance, and said tightly:
"Of course the second lady didn't allow her to move out, but she agreed to go down to Mrs. Xue, and when her natal family came, she made the decision to lift her up as a noble concubine Mrs. Xue, so there was no further trouble."

Li Taiwei felt as if someone had poked a hole in his heart, his complexion turned pale.

"Go and tell Lu Shizi that no matter how quickly he digs Zhou Youcai out, he must keep alive!"

Seeing that Li Taiwei's complexion was not good, Huayan knew that the situation was urgent, and she didn't dare to delay, so she immediately turned over and left the house.

Li Taiwei stared at the lighting of the Qiutang courtyard, calmed down for a while, and said to Dafu outside the door:

"Go to Yunshuiju and ask Nanny Jin to come over, I have something to say to her."
