Madame is back after ten years away

Chapter 53 Condemnation (one more)
Shen Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, "This is... a post from Wei Qihou's residence?"

"Yes, Mrs. Wei Qihou holds a flower viewing banquet every spring. In previous years, she would never send a post to our prime minister's residence."

Speaking of this, Xiangqiao couldn't help but sighed with emotion: "She said that the female family members who are qualified to represent the prime minister's mansion to attend the event can only be the wife. Just now, Jiang Xiaoshi came here with this invitation card, I guess I wanted to give it to Madam directly, but Madam just went out, so the servant girl took it for Madam first.

The flower viewing banquet will be held the day after tomorrow, and the time is a bit rushed, Madam... Do you want to go? "

Xiangqiao glanced at Shen Qing carefully, and Shen Qing picked up the post directly, and said, "Go, why not?"

She always wants to give Afu face.

What's more, she also needs an occasion to officially announce to everyone that she is back.

Xiangqiao was taken aback for a moment, and joy filled her eyes.

What madam means by this is that she is willing to resume her status as the mistress of their prime minister's mansion!
Their prime minister's mansion finally has a mistress again!

She couldn't help wiping the corners of her eyes, and said: "It's great that Ma'am is back. It's the same just now, Mr. Xiao Lang has been playing truant for the past three years, and he is unwilling to study hard. It is obvious that such a brilliant child is wasted, listen Those gossips outside broke the servant's heart. It's just that no matter what the servant said, Mr. Xiao Lang just didn't listen.

Just now, Mr. Xiaolang is willing to ask his wife to ask his master to come back to make up lessons for him, and he also said that he will take the ten-day exam well. This servant really... really..."

Shen Qing couldn't help looking at her amusedly, "Xiangqiao, how did I find out, you cry more than before when I come back this time."

Xiangqiao blushed, and said angrily: "Ma'am, I don't even think about it, how long did you come back after disappearing! Besides, slaves are getting older, so it is easier to hurt spring and autumn than before.

Let's not talk about that, if we are going to attend the banquet in Wei Qihou's mansion the day after tomorrow, we have to prepare a lot of things.The most important thing is the wife's clothes. The old clothes of the wife can't be worn anymore, and the new clothes haven't been made yet, so I can only buy ready-made clothes to deal with it.

You have to buy new ones for the rouge and gouache, but Mr. Chen already told his servants yesterday that he has already sent people out to buy them, and they will arrive in two days.

As for the jewelry, Madam's previous jewelry is still usable, but it has to be taken out of the warehouse and cleaned..."

Shen Qing looked at Xiangqiao who was in a hurry immediately with amused expression, but a coldness flashed across her eyes.

Gossip, right?

I'm afraid that when she returns this time, she will also be baptized by a wave of gossip.

Speaking of which, she couldn't wait to see the expressions of those people when they knew she had returned.

……

The next few days were busy and warm.

As long as you don't pay attention to those messy things outside, life seems to be so simple, just take care of three meals a day, watch the sun rise and set, and the day passes like this.

But it is impossible to completely ignore what is going on outside.

The next day, Chen Li came to Nongzhang Garden and reported to her the information he got from the government office, "The villain went to the government office yesterday afternoon, Mr. Sun was very surprised when he heard the purpose of the villain's visit, It turned out that he had already noticed the existence of that kind of fairy medicine.

He said that in the past two months, the number of prisoners arrested in the government office has increased sharply, and at least half of them are insane. They have been arguing about what medicine to take, and several prisoners committed suicide in prison because they did not have the medicine. died.

At first he thought it was just an isolated case, but later when similar things happened a lot, he felt something was wrong.He intuitively felt that there was a lot of water behind this matter, and he had been investigating it for a while, but he hadn't found any results yet, so he didn't report it to the court for a long time.

Master Sun said that even if the villain doesn't go to the government office, he plans to report this matter to the imperial court in the past two days. "

These strange things began to happen in the past two months.

It means that two months ago, this kind of fairy medicine had been secretly circulated in the capital for some time!

It is still unknown where this medicine started to spread in Daqi. If it was really someone's conspiracy, he would definitely not have spread this medicine in the capital, which is the most exposed power center, in the first place. Instead, it will first spread from some towns far away from the capital.

In other words, the time when this medicine actually spread in Daqi would only be earlier!

The situation is probably more serious than she thought!

Shen Qing frowned, and said: "Master Sun, did you say that he found anything during the investigation of this matter?"

Chen Li nodded, and said: "Master Sun's statement is the same as Madam said yesterday, that those who sell medicines are very cautious, and his method of investigation is to first ask the criminals about their channels for selling medicines, and then send people to Following this channel to find the past, however, he asked for three channels, and every time he led people to ambush, it was all in vain, which made him dare not act rashly afterwards.

According to Lord Lang's instructions, the villain told him to give priority to interrogating the prisoners who had been in prison for a period of time, but Mr. Sun said that because those prisoners have not been supplied with the magic medicine, they have either gone crazy or Half dead, and he wasn't sure if he could get anything out of their mouths. "

Shen Qing couldn't help but fell silent.

That is to say, if you start with the prisoners in the government prison, you may not be able to find the vine!
She pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Chen Li, go to the government office again for me, and tell Master Sun that if you can't ask the prisoners anything, you can try to ask their relatives and friends.

Those prisoners will not know the existence of this drug for no reason, they must be infected by someone around them who knows or is taking it.

No matter how cautious those drug sellers are, they don't have so much energy to monitor those prisoners and the people around them!

If possible, find a way to convince someone who is taking the fairy medicine to cooperate with us to find out the person who sells the medicine behind the scenes. Someone who is taking the fairy medicine will lead us to reduce the vigilance of those who sell the medicine . "

Chen Li was silent for a moment, then said: "Madam said these words, the Lord has already ordered the villain, the villain is planning to report this matter with the madam, and then go to the government office again."

Shen Qing was taken aback.

However, she was not surprised, Yu Jiuqing's mind was not inferior to hers, and what she could think of, Yu Jiuqing could naturally think of.

"Is that so?"

Shen Qing raised her lips and said, "Speaking of which, your landlord is very busy? Why didn't you see him come to get Zhangyuan last night and this morning?"

Yu Jiuqing came very diligently a few days ago, basically once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening before going to bed.

Even if Yu Zihan gave him a cold face, he would still be unshakable.

But yesterday afternoon, after she and Yu Jiuqing parted ways in the yard, she never saw him again.

Chen Li suddenly looked at Shen Qing with the most obvious condemnation and dissatisfaction, took a deep breath, and said with extreme restraint: "The villain is still wondering if Madam has not noticed that the Lord is not coming.

This morning, Wei Qihou presented all the criminal evidence of the Cao family's corruption and perverting the law over the years to Yushitai, so the Lord will be very busy these two days, I'm afraid he won't have time to visit his wife and Xiaolang Jun.

If Madam has the Lord in her heart, why not take the initiative to find the Lord, insisting that the Lord drag his unhealed body to run to Nongzhang Garden over and over again? ! "
