Ning Chen loves his wife

Chapter 748 Thunder Strike

The second-class maid stared at them and dropped the branch in her hand.He stepped forward and squatted in front of the brocade box, and reached out to close the lid.

Picking up the brocade box and holding it in his hands, watching the crowd disperse, he turned around and stepped into the house.

The room that was supposed to be bustling and bustling was unusually quiet and strange.

The eldest maid, Ziyuan, opened the curtain and came out from the inner room, staring at the second maid with a solemn face and asked, "What happened outside just now? I don't know if Miss is uncomfortable and prefers to be quiet, but you are still making noise?"

The second-class maid didn't dare to argue, so she reached out and handed over the brocade box. "This is a congratulatory gift sent by the eldest lady just now."

"Miss?!" Ziyuan stared at the brocade box but dared not reach out to pick it up.

"I've checked it, and it's a hairpin inside."

Only then did Ziyuan dare to stretch out her hand. "Leave it to me." After taking the brocade box, he turned and opened the door curtain to enter the inner room.

Zhuo Qing was wearing a phoenix coronet, but she was lying on the dressing table. She was dressed up but looked sick, especially with her sunken eye sockets, which looked a little scary.

Seeing Ziyuan walk in, she didn't show any expression, she still lay on the dressing table and didn't move.

Ziyuan approached with the brocade box in her hand, and asked with concern: "Miss, how are you? Have you got a fever again?"

Zhuo Qing said lazily: "The medicine prescribed by the genius doctor in the morning has already gone away, but I feel so weak that I don't want to talk or move." Not to mention being dragged up by the maids before dawn and having a hard time. over.

Normal women can't bear it, let alone a sick person.

It was only when Ziyuan put the brocade box on the dressing table in front of her that she noticed it. "Who sent this gift?"

"...Miss sent someone to deliver it."

"Her?" Speaking of Zhuo Nan, Zhuo Qing's face was full of disgust. "What gift can she kindly give me? Throw it away!"

"Throw it away? You can't do it, miss. This time the congratulatory gift from the eldest lady is not light." Zi Yuan quickly opened the brocade box and took out the delicate and rare hairpin inside.

The sunlight from outside the dressing table came in and fell on the hairpin in Ziyuan's hand, as if it had been sprinkled with a layer of golden light to make it even more dazzling.

Zhuo Qing was stunned, and said after a while: "...It is indeed a good thing." Frowning tightly and full of doubts, Zhuo Nan actually gave her such an expensive hairpin, which she had never seen before.

He stretched out his hand to pick it up, but suddenly remembered something, suddenly withdrew his hand and said suddenly: "Could there be poison on this hairpin?!"

Zhuo Qing's sudden words were like a thunderbolt, which made Zi Yuan's hands tremble in fright, and the hairpin fell on the dressing table with a bang, which woke them up instantly.

Ziyuan was quite frightened, so she quickly picked up the hairpin and checked it carefully, and was relieved when she saw that there was no damage.I am secretly glad that the hairpin fell on the dressing table instead of on the floor.

Carefully put the hairpin back into the brocade box, raised her head and said to Zhuo Qing: "Miss, this hairpin should not be poisonous, this is a congratulatory gift sent by the eldest lady. Even if someone else poisoned her, she can't get rid of it, How could she be foolish enough to poison her to frame herself?"

Zhuo Qing snorted coldly. "That's not necessarily the case. It's someone else who poisoned her and wronged her. It's not like she can't do such a thing."

Zi Yuan: "...Then this hairpin...? The servant took it away?" The young lady suspects that the young lady is poisoning her, so it would be great not to reward her!
Zhuo Qing saw through Ziyuan's careful thought at a glance but did not pierce it, and said weakly: "Forget it, let's put it away for now, let's see what kind of conspiracy she wants to play." people.If it wasn't for Zhuo Nan, she would be even happier.

"...Oh." Ziyuan stretched out her hand to cover the lid of the brocade box in a low voice.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside, and the master and servant looked over at the same time.

Nanny Sun opened the door curtain to let Third Auntie in.

"Qing'er, the sedan chair from Situ's Mansion has arrived." Seeing Zhuo Qing lying on the dresser, the happy third aunt suddenly lost her smile and asked with distress: "Qing'er, how are you?"

Zhuo Qing got angry when she saw Third Auntie's teary face.I always feel that they were enemies in the previous life, and they have become mother and daughter in this life! "I'm fine." Even if something happened, she had to persevere. Today is her big wedding!

Third Yiniang looked at Zhuo Qing's impatient face, and she didn't dare to provoke her as a patient.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ziyuan holding a brocade box in his hand and suddenly asked, "Who is this congratulatory gift from?"

Zhuo Qing didn't want to speak, Zi Yuan watched Zhuo Qing's expression, and replied instead: "Reporting to Third Aunt, it's a congratulatory gift sent by the eldest miss just now."

"A congratulatory gift from the eldest lady?" An unexpected surprise flashed in San Yiniang's eyes.

She thought that Zhuo Nan would not return to the prime minister's mansion to give a congratulatory gift, so she couldn't help asking curiously, "What gift did she send?"

Ziyuan opened the brocade box for Third Aunt to take a closer look.

Third Auntie was taken aback when she saw a seven-gold hairpin with silver tassels and jadeite lying quietly inside the brocade box!This hairpin looks so familiar!She seems to have seen someone wearing it...Who is it?Why can't I remember?
Zhuo Qing saw Third Aunt staring at the hairpin in the brocade box in a daze, and impatiently winked at Zi Yuan.

Zi Yuan immediately covered the brocade box.

Zhuo Qing looked at Third Aunt and raised her eyebrows and asked: "Even Zhuo Nan knew to send someone to send a congratulatory gift, but Zhuo Ran hasn't shown up until now. Could it be that she forgot about me as the fifth princess?"

The third aunt immediately waved her hand and said: "Qing'er, you misunderstood! The fifth princess came early in the morning, and first went to Tianyinju to meet the master and madam.

The fifth concubine originally wanted to come to congratulate you in person, but she was slightly ill, and she was afraid that after visiting you, she would make you sicker, so she directly sent the gift to me. "After speaking, he took out a gift slip from his cuff and handed it over.

"The Fifth Princess is a generous gift this time! A great gift."

Zhuo Qing took the gift list with a cold expression, read it carefully twice, and then nodded in satisfaction.

Thinking about the side concubine, she put away the gift list and looked at the yin and yang of the third aunt and said, "Is she in a bad health? I'm afraid it's because of the side concubine's rift with the fifth prince, let's keep it in my heart." Or worry about my own sickness Get over her!

The third aunt frowned and explained: "Qing'er, don't listen to the maids' nonsense, the fifth prince personally accompanied the fifth princess back to the mansion, and he just left. Before leaving, the fifth princess said that she would go to Situ's mansion for a wedding and wait for you there. "

Zhuo Qing curled her lips in disdain, and her whole body became more and more gloomy, even the bright red Fengguanxiapei couldn't suppress it.

Seeing Zhuo Qing like this, Third Aunt trembled in her heart.Thinking of what Zhuo Qing said when she fell asleep in her nightmare, she decided to go up the mountain to worship the Bodhisattva tomorrow, and pray for Zhuo Qing to get rid of evil spirits.

Just give it to her when she returns home.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and after a few moments of effort, a ceremonial nun took the lead and walked in. "Hurry up and cover the bride! Get on the sedan chair!"
