Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 17 There was a problem with the tea that day
The light from the summer morning is bright and clear, shining into the yard, and the colors of the tree shadows are warm and quiet.

The two sat opposite each other without saying a word.

Wan Yan was in a trance for a moment.

This feeling reminded her of those days when her father was still in the capital.

She would get up early and make breakfast.

Colorful rice, refreshing side dishes, daddy likes sweet-scented osmanthus cake, when she brings the steaming, soft sweet-scented osmanthus cake to the table, daddy always has a smile on his face.

He said: "I am the happiest person in Daqi. My daughter has a pair of skillful hands. She is beautiful and intelligent. Thinking about Yan'er's marriage in the future, I can't bear it."

At this time, Wan Yan will laugh and look forward to, who can satisfy her father and walk into her heart?

Daddy would then say, "There is no man in the world who is worthy of my daughter, and whoever can marry my daughter must be a great hero."

Since she was a child, her father has held her in the palm of his hand and protected her.

Mother died early, and she and father depended on each other for life.

Although it is incomparable with the big family.

But relying on their father's painting skills and Wan Yan's skillful hands, the two lived a warm and prosperous life.

After dinner, Dad took the painting box and went to paint, or entered the palace, or took on the tasks assigned by the Ministry of Industry, or took on some jobs in various places in the capital.

After all, he was a court painter, and he was an excellent painter, so the salary that father got was enough for father and daughter.

She remembered that when the Weiyuan Army returned to Beijing to suppress the bandits, the entire wall of Zhuque Street was covered with battle scenes drawn by her father in which the Weiyuan Army flag was flying and winning.

The screen turns.

Wan Yan's sadness comes from her heart.

Hate that dog emperor the most, changed everything.

If father knew that the daughter he held in his hands had become an official prostitute, he would have to face the fate of being sold to the king...

Wan Yan's throat tightened, and the eyes were instantly clouded with mist.

Su Jizhi watched, the little girl didn't know what to think of, a look of loneliness suddenly appeared on her face, she seemed very sad.

Her shoulders, which were already delicate, shrank a little, and her head was buried even lower.

The little white rabbit gave him the urge to touch it.

"Ahem." Su Jizhi put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "Su usually eats faster than others, I hope you don't mind."

Wan Yan was awakened by Su Jizhi's deep voice, she took out a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes, "The porridge is too hot, it hurts my eyes."

Obviously not like this, Su Ji's heart trembled.

The seemingly weak girl has a straight back.

Wan Yan turned sideways, adjusted her mood, and smiled at Su Jizhi, the little girl's eyes were red.

Why are you crying?
Su Jizhi couldn't eat anymore, so he looked around, thinking that there might be something in the room that could make Wanyan feel emotional.

But it didn't.

After a while, Wan Yan said slowly, "My lord, can you tell us about our next plan?"

This "we" is what Su Jizhi likes.

Wan Yan's eyes regained clarity, and Su Jizhi nodded: "Miss Wan Yan has mentioned what happened on the night of the incident several times. Can we talk about it in detail this time? Don't miss any details."

Fearing that Wanyan might misunderstand, Su Jizhi explained: "I firmly believe that the murderer was in the Jiaofang Division that night. If the murderer deliberately killed Vice-General Wei on the spur of the moment, there would be some clues."

Wan Yan recalled carefully, but still shook her head in her heart.

That night, her mind was all about being betrayed, and she didn't pay attention to other things at all.

"I was not in a good mood that day. I was the one who played the big axis every night. I wanted to shirk before the performance, but my mother disagreed, so I had to go on stage. After the stage, I was taken to the Peony Hall by the director. At that time, Vice General Wei was already there. Sit in the room."

In front of Su Jizhi's mind was a picture of Wan Yan holding a pipa, and Tingting gracefully walking in front of Vice General Wei.

"Vice General Wei has a loud voice. He is in his 40s and his language is very vulgar. He introduced him as the Vice General of the Weiyuan Army in the first sentence. He asked me to accompany him for a drink and put a silver coin on the table."

Wanyan's soft voice made Su Jizhi feel pity.

She should have been the daughter of an ordinary family.

Now he is in Jiaofang Division, falling into the dust.

"I have been in the Jiaofang Division for two years, and I know how to remember my identity, so after Vice General Wei ordered a table of dishes and two pots of peach blossom wine, I focused on persuading him to drink."

"Did anything happen that struck you as unusual?"

Wan Yan thought about denying it: "It's all the same as usual."

"When did you realize something was wrong with Vice General Wei?"

"Vice General Wei has been talking nonstop since the beginning. I thought he was that kind of person. About half an hour later, his cheeks flushed and he said it was convenient to go. I also walked out of the room to get some air. It was Tang Hong who reminded me that something was wrong with Vice General Wei. , I sent someone to ask."

Wan Yan suddenly thought of something and looked at Su Jizhi.

"What do you want to say?"

The girl hesitated, but finally summoned up her courage: "My lord, the day we first met, when you asked me a question, do you remember that cup of tea?"

How could Su Jizhi not remember, the soft touch of Wanyan falling into his arms, he will never forget it for the rest of his life.

The temperature at the tips of his ears rose little by little, and he faked a cough: "The cup of tea you said you drank when you were thirsty?"

Wan Yan smiled lightly, but her tone was very serious: "My lord, that cup of tea smells like acacia. That day, I drank that cup of tea for your lord."

Su Jizhi froze on the spot.

"At that time I smelled the scent of Hehuansan. Although it was very faint, I dared not say it. Even if I told it at the time, adults would not believe it. Moreover, the situation was urgent and I could not patiently explain it."

Thinking of Wan Yan's panic at that time, like a frightened little rabbit.

Su Jizhi thanked the girl in front of him for her meticulousness, otherwise the consequences of drinking that cup of tea would have been disastrous.

"I believe it now."

"Yeah, that's why adults can listen to my explanation seriously now."

After saying all the words, Wan Yan felt extremely comfortable in her heart.

"The situation that day was like this. Vice General Wei came back out of the court and drank even more. I knew that he had taken Hehuansan, and I was still a little scared in my heart. I hoped that he would be drunk and unconscious. I didn't even think about whether he would drink or not. It will be poisoned."

Su Jizhi's attention was not here, Wan Yan said that she drank Hehuansan, that is to say, she had been suffering from the medicine of Hehuansan the first night she was arrested in prison?

Everything is clear.

Su Jizhi felt even more pity from the bottom of his heart.

"My lord, I've told you what happened. As for why there is Acacia in your teacup, do you want to understand?"

Su Jizhi pulled back his thoughts and came up with an idea: "I temporarily decided to ask questions in the Plum Blossom Hall. The pot of tea was not the one sent to me by the manager."

"The tea was cold when I took it." Wan Yan remembered it clearly.

"Exactly, that's the last cup of tea in the gold-plated teapot on the tea table in the Plum Blossom Hall."

"Could it be that Vice General Wei drank the pot?"

"Who uses the Plum Blossom Hall on weekdays?"

"Sister Tanghong."

Wan Yan's heart skipped a beat, Sister Tanghong has a problem?
Tang Hong's expression of gloating when she heard that she was sold appeared in front of the girl's eyes.

And the teasing look on her face when she was encouraged to get close to the adults.

Now Wan Yan thinks it is not a bad thing, now that she is close to adults, she can still have breakfast at the same table.

In the past, Wan Yan didn't even dare to think about it.

From this point alone, Wan Yan would also like to thank Tang Hong.

"Tang Hong and Vice General Wei had contact that night?" Su Jizhi asked.

Wan Yan shook her head, "When I went to the Peony Hall, Vice General Wei had already drank Hehuansan, but when Vice General Wei left, it was indeed Sister Tanghong who reminded me that Vice General Wei looked like he had taken medicine."

Wan Yan suddenly felt a pain in her heart, she only now understood Tang Hong's purpose.

Inform Wan Yan that Vice General Wei has already taken medicine, and if she continues to persuade him to drink, Vice General Wei may die.

Then she will be responsible, just like the adult's initial sentence, she will be taken to prison.

If Wan Yan didn't persuade her to drink, and Vice General Wei would make a move, whether she was betrayed by Vice General Wei or Wang Yuanwai would be known that night.

Thinking of this, Wan Yan trembled all over.
