Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 45 She's Lying
"Children's marriage, parents' order, matchmaker's words, servants and servants understand this truth even though they have short-sightedness."

oh?Do you really understand or pretend to understand?

Jiang Jiuying was not in a hurry to expose her, and continued to chat with her, "I heard from the maid in your girl's house that Miss Seven is weak, and she doesn't usually eat in the cold, is there such a thing?"

"Yes, Seventh Miss was born with a difficult life, and she has been a little weak since she was born. After all these years of recuperation, she is no different from ordinary people, but she still can't eat stimulating cold food."

"Then whenever it's hot summer, wouldn't it be sad?"

"There is a bamboo grove next to the yard where the girl lives. Summer is the coolest, and if you put a little ice in the house, you can live well."

"I heard that the master of the Wang family has a rule for using ice in summer. Your girl obviously can't use it up here. Is there any leftovers that can be distributed to those who serve beside you?"

"Yes, the girl is the most lenient, and she gave away what I couldn't use up."

"Ice is a precious item. It can be eaten, and it can also be kept in the house to cool down. Don't you think so?"

Compared with Seventh Girl's boudoir, the back room where Qiu Ju lives is one day at a time. In the current weather, Jiang Jiuying's back is already soaked in sweat after coming in for such a short time.

She is not yet a sweaty physique.

"Your little brother was still arguing for ice when he went out just now." Jiang Jiuying smiled half-smile, with a bit of teasing at the corners of his mouth, fixedly looking at Qiu Ju, as if telling her, I'll just watch you and continue making up.

"Little baby is ignorant, girl, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

How can a child ask for something so commonplace if he has never eaten something he has never seen before?It can be seen that ice is not a rare item for their family on weekdays.

"The maid said, you love ice the most. You can usually eat three bowls of crispy cheese with just a little bit of ice in it." Qiu Ju didn't have a chance to refute at all with this plain narration.

"The maid also said that a few days ago, you used your mother's ailment as an excuse to go out of the house and grab two sets of medicine."

The last trace of blood on Qiu Ju's face faded completely. She raised her head stubbornly, looked straight into Jiang Jiuying's eyes, and said without blinking, "I love to eat ice, maybe this time the ice It's not clean, so I have diarrhea. It's true that the servant's mother has a minor ailment, so what's wrong with the servant going out of the house to buy medicine?"

While talking, she cried: "If the girl doesn't like the servant, she must be charged with a crime, and the servant will admit it."

"Then you know, when many people are lying, they like to look directly into the other person's eyes to show that they are telling the truth. In fact, this action itself is a sign of guilt."

How did Qiuju know!Her eyes widened and she forgot to cry.

"Honeysuckle."

"The servant is here."

"Go call an old doctor and feel Qiu Ju's pulse!" Nine times out of ten, Qiu Ju's "disease" was written, directed and acted by herself. There is no problem with the ice, but she secretly caught it if there is a problem. medicine.

Liandong left at the sound, and Qiu Ju wanted to stop it, but she was powerless.

The doctor came soon, Wang Huairen and Jiang Chengxuan also came with him, they packed the small room of Qiu Ju's house to the brim.

Qiu Ju could only watch helplessly as the old doctor took her pulse, told the truth that she had taken laxatives, and then was dragged off the bed and lay on the ground like a dog.

Together with the other three members of the family, one counts as one, they were all tied up.

Wang Huairen changed from his previous gentle gentleman appearance, and stared at Qiu Ju sympathetically: "I will give you one last chance, if you are willing to tell everything you know, I will let you die happily, and I will not let your family die either." If you pursue it further and sell it to give them a way out, if you still keep silent, don't blame me for being cruel!"

This is completely different from Qiu Ju's own imagination. She thought that she was so sick, and the dose of medicine was urgent and heavy for the effect to be realistic. Anyone would look like they were going to die. It was inevitable that the girl eloped. If she is implicated, she will be able to retreat unscathed.

What went wrong?She collapsed to the ground: "I said, I said, please forgive me, my lord!"

After successfully prying Qiu Ju's mouth open, many things have vines that can be chased down.

Wang Huaiqi did meet a scholar outside and was attracted by his gentle and elegant temperament, but she didn't take it seriously when they met by chance.

That was still during the Shangyuan Festival.

The Anqing Mansion decorated with lanterns and festoons is full of slaves and servants, people who come out to play with their families, shoulder to shoulder, very lively.

Wang Huaiqi originally made an appointment with two close friends in the boudoir, but the street was full of people, and no one could find anyone for a while, so she had to take the two female envoys for a casual stroll.

There are all kinds of interesting masks, cheap but exquisite jewelry, and all kinds of food in the stalls on the street. She went shopping one by one, very happy.

A place with a lot of people is prone to accidents.Qiu Ju, who was walking well on the road, was suddenly stepped on by someone walking on her skirt. Without noticing it for a moment, she fell to the ground, almost causing her own daughter to fall too.

If a girl from a rich family fell to the ground, it would be comparable to a large-scale social death scene.

Just when Wang Huaiqi closed her eyes in despair, and was about to have a close contact with the earth, a pair of hands stretched out beside her firmly caught her.

"The matter is urgent, please forgive me for offending you." The other party's arms were thin but strong, her falling trend stopped, and the clear and pleasant voice rang in her ears, which instantly soothed Wang Huaiqi's nervous mood.

"Thank you for your action, so that the little girl will not be embarrassed." She didn't dare to raise her head, barely stood still, took a step back, left the other's arm, leaned back and saluted in return.

"It's good that you're fine, you don't need to be too polite. I can't thank you for the effort." The other party smiled lightly: "There are a lot of people who come out to watch the lanterns today, so you should be careful, little lady."

The street is not a place to talk, after Wang Huaiqi thanked her, she hurried away with the envoy.

"Girl, that young master just now is really good-looking, similar to the person in the book you read. He is the one you mentioned, who has a face like a crown jade, an outstanding figure, and a handsome young man." Lamei has a lively personality, what? Dare to say anything.

Wang Huaiqi only felt that the place where the man touched her arm just now was still a bit hot, and when Lamei praised him, she regretted not raising her head generously just now to take a look at the other person's appearance.

I heard that the family is discussing marriage for her, and I also asked her which type she likes. If the man just now is not married yet, and he is in the same family as her, it would be a good thing.

Shangyuan Festival is originally a festival for unmarried men and women to look at each other generously.

She couldn't help but stop, turned around, and wanted to find the young man in blue shirt again in the crowd.

It's a pity, when the beauty suddenly looked back, that person was no longer in the dimly lit place.
