The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 281
"Miss Li."

Zhu Qing felt guilty and did not dare to look into Li Buyan's eyes.

"Don't take out your sword casually in the future. It won't solve any problems and can only make things worse. Xie Mansion is no different from other places. There are rules for everything."

Li Buyan smiled: "Is this what you want to tell me?"

"Also, the master said that he will definitely give an explanation to the two girls about this matter. The master is very measured in his words and deeds and will not make any promises casually."

Zhu Qing: "Girl, please be patient and wait a few days before taking action without permission."

"Any more?"

"and also……"

Zhu Qing's eyelids twitched, and he racked his brains to talk nonsense: "Whenever you are free, we will compete and learn kung fu. If you win, I, how about I worship you as my teacher?"

how is it?

Not much!
"I'm not from the Xie Mansion. The rules of your Xie Mansion are none of my business."

A person who always had a smile on his face in the past, once his face darkens, there is a lingering coldness all over his body.

"Secondly, if you don't give us an explanation for this matter, then I'm sorry. I'm not Yan Sanhe, and I don't have such a good temper. Finally..."

Li Buyan frowned and glanced at Zhu Qing with disgust, "I won't accept the boring gourd."

Meng Gourd: "..."

After Meng Hulu watched Li Buyan leave, he counted the time and hurried back to the courtyard.

"Brother Zhu Qing?" Shuncai came up to greet him.

"Master, are you back?"

"No, I'm not..."

Shuncai felt the figure in front of him flicker, and Zhu Qing disappeared, "I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Of course Zhu Qing was impatient.

The third master asked him to lure Li Buyan away so that he could enter Miss Yan's room. No one knew what he was doing there.

"It would be better if nothing happens."

Zhu Qing didn't dare to think further and rushed to Jingsi Residence. She didn't dare to rush in. She jumped up on the wall and listened in the corner for a while.

Third Master is not here!

The old lady’s grace hall?
not there!

Wife’s Zhichunyuan?

not there!

Uncle’s Fangzhouyuan?

Not here either!
Where will it go?

Zhu Qing was anxious, and a strong uneasiness suddenly surged in her heart.

……

In the Xi'en Hall, only mother and son were left sitting opposite each other.

The old lady moved the corners of her mouth, a look of ridicule appeared.

The son was the meat that fell from her belly. Although he held a high position and was prosperous outside, there were some things that he couldn't hide from her.

In the play just now, her son sang it to her.

Firstly, he wanted to clear away the suspicion on Aunt Liu; secondly, he also wanted to use his second son to marry Yan Sanhe to make her believe in Aunt Liu's innocence.

"Do you just believe her?"

Xie Daozhi nodded silently.

"But besides her, no one else in this house has such a scheming mind."

"Mother, the matter is being investigated. Who it is will eventually come to light."

Xie Daozhi: "After what happened today, Yan Sanhe probably wants to leave. My mother can't bear to leave her and wants to keep her. The only way is through marriage, then we can fulfill the second brother's wish."

When the old lady heard about the marriage, she was immediately pinched seven inches.Xie Daozhi knew the old lady's weakness and simply added: "At least it coincides with my mother's thoughts."

……

When Xie Daozhi walked out of Xi'en Hall, raindrops had already fallen.

Manager Xie held a black umbrella and waited at the entrance of the courtyard. When he saw his master coming out, he hurriedly greeted him, "Master, the matter has been almost investigated."

Xie Daozhi glanced at him: "Talking while walking."

The master and servant walked into the rain. The big umbrella covered their figures and the voice of Manager Xie.

Things are simple.

The wife wanted to please Miss Yan, so she asked the kitchen to make a pork ribs and lotus root soup today. She also specifically told her that the ingredients must be fresh and the soup must be delicious.

It just so happened that the father and son had a few glasses of wine while the master and uncle were having dinner in the study today.

In addition, the third master had not returned from socializing outside, so the small kitchen started to prepare sobering soup according to the usual practice.

The poor have their own way of making hangover soup, and the rich have their own way of making hangover soup. For a family like Xie's Mansion, tangerine peel is generally used as the ingredient.

Unfortunately, the master has had some pantothenic acid in his stomach these past few days, and the tangerine peel is sour, so he cannot eat it, so Mrs. Chen, the cook in the small kitchen, used some crushed Ganoderma lucidum to add to the soup.

Ganoderma lucidum can detoxify hundreds of toxins and can be used as a decoction to relieve hangover. It is the most effective of all hangover decoctions.

The method is also very simple. Slice the Ganoderma lucidum and simmer it for an hour and a half. When you put it in the pot, add some honey and you can drink it.

But Ganoderma lucidum is so expensive. Except for princes, generals and ministers, even people from a family like Xie Fu cannot afford it.

Coincidentally, the second master went out to do business a few days ago, and someone gave him a pack. The second master put the whole root into the warehouse, and gave the remaining worthless shredded Ganoderma lucidum to Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu had no use holding it, so she ordered the maid to deliver it to Aunt Chen. She also specifically told this thing to be used only for men to make hangover soup.

Just like that, a pot of broth is boiled first, and a pot of hangover soup is boiled later.

In the meantime, Aunt Chen went to the toilet because of a stomachache, and only her granddaughter Erya was left in the small kitchen.

Erya had just turned eight and was working with Aunt Chen in the small kitchen.

After Aunt Chen came back, Erya went to play. An hour later, someone from Li Zheng's family came first to get the broth.

Unexpectedly, a few spoonfuls of Ganoderma lucidum soup had been added to the broth without anyone noticing.

Ganoderma lucidum is a kind of mushroom, and its efficacy is more than ten times that of ordinary mushrooms. Just one spoonful is enough to harm Yan Sanhe.

"Master, the Li Zheng family entered the small kitchen with a total of three servants. Mrs. Chen served the soup. They only need to put the food boxes and carry them away."

Manager Xie looked at his master's expression: "The old slave interrogated Mrs. Chen and her granddaughter separately. Both of them cried and complained about injustice. Look at this..."

Xie Daozhi looked sideways, and Manager Xie lowered his head in fright.

In this way, the wife's suspicion was cleared, but Aunt Liu's suspicion became stronger, because Aunt Liu gave her the broken Ganoderma lucidum.

And the reason why Aunt Chen can manage the small kitchen is ultimately because of Aunt Liu's pillow style.

Aunt Liu is from the south, and her taste has always been light. She is not used to the heavy flavors in the north. In the entire Xie Mansion, only Aunt Chen’s dishes are the lightest.
The small kitchen is responsible for the late night snacks in each room. Light is most suitable. Isn't this a natural choice?

There is oil and water in the small kitchen.

For this little favor and to repay Aunt Liu's kindness, Aunt Chen would probably help Aunt Liu do something shameful.

Xie Daozhi never expected that just after he had patted the old lady's chest and made a sure decision, the whole matter would really fall on Ms. Liu.

Just at this time, there were several thunders in the air, and heavy rain poured down. The raindrops hit the umbrella cloth, and it seemed to hit his heart.

"Go, bring Mrs. Chen and her granddaughter to my study, and I will come and examine them myself."

Xie Xiaohua didn't know whether it was because of the heavy rain or the master's cold eyes that she shuddered.

Hey!
The Xie family was originally peaceful, with wives and concubines each keeping their duties; the legitimate son was an official, and the concubine was engaged in business, and they lived in peace and harmony.

As soon as this incident came out, this fig leaf was torn away, and I'm afraid there will be some trouble in the future.

Xie Xiaohua handed the umbrella to the master, "Yes, I will go and arrest him now."

"Wait!"

Xie Daozhi suddenly thought of something: "Where's the third child? Why didn't he see anyone all night?"
