The wife of the power minister's family

Xu Jing suddenly thought of something and asked, "Isn't it possible that Mrs. Jiang only has such a small amount of jewelry?"

"of course."

Jingdan couldn't help showing a bit of pride on her face, she raised her chin slightly and said, "Our young lady has a lot of jewelry, and there is a special warehouse in the house to store the young lady's jewelry.

Whenever a new model comes on the market in various silver shops in Xijing, someone will personally come to the door with these jewelry for the young lady to choose.The jewelry placed in the jewelry box are all the latest styles that the young lady often wears during this period. Some of the more expensive or outdated jewelry have been put away because they are rarely worn. We will regularly help the young lady replace the jewelry. Jewelry in the box. "

Xu Jing couldn't help but secretly sigh at the extravagant life of the rich and powerful in Xijing. After thinking about it, she asked, "How often do you usually change the jewelry in your young lady's jewelry box?"

Jingdan glanced at Xu Jing strangely, not understanding why she asked this question, but still said truthfully: "We all change them once a month, at the beginning of the month."

It is now early August, and according to Jingdan, they have just changed these jewelry not long ago.

Xu Jing, who has the memory of the original owner, knows how enthusiastically the so-called new jewelry and clothes are pursued in the Xijing aristocratic circle, to the point of perversion. Whenever a noble lady appears wearing outdated jewelry or outdated clothing, In front of others, he would be ridiculed and ridiculed, and he would not dare to go out again for half a year.

Although the Xu family didn't give much dowry to the original owner, and the original mistress's dowry had already been divided up by them using various excuses, the Xu family did give it, and it was quite a lot, but it was all used by the original owner to buy all kinds of latest products. She spent all her money on jewelry and clothes, which was why she was finally kicked out of the capital and had no other choice. She was so depressed that she couldn't even pay for the rent.

Therefore, Xu Jing can be sure that although the thieves stole most of Mrs. Jiang's hairpins, Mrs. Jiang will never wear those outdated hairpins.

The most likely thing is that she will ask someone to repurchase the stolen jewelry, or just use these four steps until new jewelry comes on the market.

However, according to the Xijing aristocratic circle's enthusiasm for the latest jewelry, many jewelry are often sold out soon after they are launched. Just like the limited editions of many modern luxury brands, merchants have to say they are out of stock even if they have them, otherwise how can they stand out? Which products are unique?

Xu Jing's eyes became darker and darker.

Therefore, after the thief stole Mrs. Jiang’s hairpin and hairpin, Mrs. Jiang could probably only use these four steps. Is there any purpose behind this?

Xu Jing raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Jiang who was not far away, and said, "I wonder if Mrs. Jiang would mind if I picked up these steps to check?"

As you can imagine, these steps are expensive, and Xu Jing, an ordinary citizen who has just become a well-off person, dare not touch them.

Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help showing some confusion on her face. She nodded and said, "Of course."

Xu Jing then carefully picked up a Bu Yao and looked at it carefully for a long time. On the surface, there was nothing wrong with these Bu Yao.

After thinking about it, she put Bu Yao under her nose, sniffed it gently, and her whole body paused.

When she stepped up, she actually exuded a faint sweet fragrance. Because the smell was relatively light, and the room already had a strong scent of incense, she couldn't smell it unless she got closer.

She looked up at Jingdan, who was looking at her curiously, and asked, "Do you, Madam, usually use aromatherapy? What kind of aromatherapy do you use? Can you smell it for me?"

Jingdan was stunned for a moment when asked, and answered completely subconsciously, "Our young lady likes the aroma of laurel, so we usually use laurel incense, which is the smell in the room now."

Xu Jing's brows suddenly frowned.

No, the sweet scent on the walker is not the same smell as the smell in the room!
She picked up the Bu Yao, handed it to Jing Dan and said, "I just smelled a slightly sweet fragrance on this Bu Yao. Smell it, have you ever used similar incense?"

Jingdan was startled, and quickly took it and smelled it. His expression changed instantly, "This... what is this smell? This slave seems to have never smelled this kind of smell before!"

As she said that, she quickly picked up the other sticks and smelled them one by one, her face becoming darker and darker.

Every time I shake it, there is a similar taste!Could it be that there is poison on it?
Seeing Jing Dan's pale face, Xu Jing guessed what she was thinking, shook her head and said: "It shouldn't be poison. The smell on these steps is very light. Even if it is poison, the amount is very small. It depends on such a small amount." The amount can make people addicted, and they must be worn for many years, but you just said that you will change the jewelry once a month.

Of course, it would be hard to tell if the thief would do the same thing with other jewelry later on. "

Jingdan's face suddenly turned even darker.

Xu Jing continued to ask: "I guess you haven't touched these jewelry since your young lady fell ill?"

Jingdan nodded quickly, "Yes, in fact, we are not sure whether those hairpins were stolen three days ago. It's just that three days ago, the slave accidentally discovered that the second layer of the jewelry box was not closed properly, and a gap was exposed. When I opened it, I found that the hairpin was missing!"

He can steal the hairpin, but he can also move his hands and feet on the remaining steps...

Xu Jing looked at everyone present thoughtfully, and already had some speculations in her mind.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jing really discovered something strange that they hadn't noticed. Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but panicked and said: "Doctor Xu, what is going on? Could it be that someone in this family really wants to... kill me?"

Although she had some bad premonitions before, because there was no evidence, she just thought that she was sick and had random thoughts.

Even if someone really wanted to harm her, she thought it was just some prank against her. If that person came for her life, the seriousness of the matter would be completely different!

Xu Jing suddenly said: "I think Bu Yao shouldn't be poisoned. After all, there are not many people who can enter Mrs. Jiang's room and do anything to Bu Yao. Moreover, this is a long-term job, at least once a month." If you want to do it again, did he take advantage of Mrs. Jiang's illness to succeed this time? What about the next time? It's too easy to be discovered. "

The other party is the wife of the Jiang family. Everyone in Dachu knows what the consequences will be if she offends the Jiang family.

Xu Jing felt that the mastermind behind the scenes shouldn't be that stupid.

Zhao Shaohua couldn't help but said: "Then...what's with the sweet fragrance on the step?"

Xu Jing suddenly asked: "How did Mrs. Jiang see the painting of the Fourth Lady? At that time, Mrs. Jiang must have been ill?"

What happened to Mrs. Jiang recently was not just the hairpin being stolen.

Xu Jing originally felt that it was too coincidental for so many things to happen at the same time. Maybe there was some unknown connection between these things?

Jingshui immediately gritted his teeth and said: "The fourth lady took the initiative to show it to the young lady when she came to visit the young lady. We were thinking at the time that the fourth lady came to visit the doctor on her own initiative. This has never happened before. Who would have expected that the fourth lady would actually come to visit the doctor?" She has such vicious thoughts! At that time, the Fourth Lady came here with that woman, Lady Hua, who knows what role that woman played in it!"

Xu Jing glanced at her, nodded and said, "Can you take me to see the place on the painting?"

Just now they said that the Fourth Lady's painting was a road leading to the courtyard of the Marquis of Huaiyin. Little Snowball liked to play on that road most when he was alive.

Although this request was puzzling, they now absolutely did not dare to underestimate Xu Jing. Mrs. Jiang immediately asked Jingdan to take Xu Jing there.

Zhao Shaohua casually found an excuse to follow, holding Xu Jing's hand and whispered: "Doctor Xu, do you really think there is a conspiracy against Mrs. Jiang in this mansion? If you are mistaken, I'm afraid that Mrs. Jiang and Huaiyin Everyone in the Hou Mansion will have opinions about you."

Xu Jing could tell that Zhao Shaohua was worried about her.

If she was overthinking all this, I'm afraid Mrs. Jiang would think that she was deliberately driving a wedge between her and her husband's family. Even if she raised these doubts in the first place, she had good intentions, and she also did bad things with good intentions. (End of chapter)
