Chapter 170
Although there were conflicts with Wei Lige, Qu Ruowen did not have conflicts with other people, and she could handle the truth and falsehood in this scene.

"Where does it come from? When you look at Bi's mother, you are rich and honored. Where did the half-talk come from? You don't have to be polite to Bi's mother. Just ask me."

"I didn't expect that Miss Ruowen not only has excellent medical skills, but also her words are flattering." Mama Bi was smiling again, as if she never tired of hearing flattering words.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Peony seemed to be choked, coughed a few times, and a lot of medicine splashed out of her mouth.

Seeing this, Ling'er patted Peony on the back.

"Girl, drink slowly." Ling'er put the medicine bowl aside, took out the handkerchief from her sleeve, and just as Mudan was about to take it, Ling'er put the handkerchief back again.

"What's the matter, Ling'er, give me the handkerchief." The corner of Mudan's mouth was stained with some medicine, waiting to be wiped off.

"Girl, this handkerchief is dirty, I'll go get you a new one right away." Ling'er put the medicine bowl aside, and found one from the cabinet.

Qu Ruowen and Wei Lige looked at each other, if she saw it right, there seemed to be a smear of red on the handkerchief, which looked like a lip print.

Peony took the new handkerchief, wiped the corners of her lips, pursed her lips, and continued to drink the medicine.

Qu Ruowen already had a guess. In the picture just now, after drinking the tea, Peony wiped her mouth with the handkerchief that Linger handed her, but pursed her lips habitually. , then everything makes sense.

"Second cousin..."

Qu Ruowen just called out her name, and regretted it a bit, but Wei Lige seemed to know what she meant, and in a flash, Ling'er had already frozen there without moving.

"Master Wei, what are you doing?" Bi's mother asked Mudan one step ahead.

"Mother Bi, if you want to know who is the one who poisoned Peony, please wait a moment." Wei Lige wanted to take Ling'er out of her sleeve and put her back, but Qu Ruowen grabbed him with quick eyesight and quick hands. arm.

Wei Lige followed Qu Ruowen's fingertips, all the way along her arm, and found her eyes, where there was a sense of worry.For some reason, a smile appeared on Wei Lige's lips again, as if peach blossoms were blooming, brilliant and gorgeous, which made Qu Ruowen very uncomfortable.

Qu Ruowen knew what he had done, and immediately let go of Wei Lige's hand, cleared his throat: "If you touch it directly with your hands, the toxin will also penetrate through the skin."

But Wei Lige seemed to be addicted to watching, and he didn't take his eyes away at all. Qu Ruowen could feel Bi's mother's ambiguous smile. She swept her eyes and saw a pair of scissors. She hurried to get the scissors.

"Little...cousin, what are you... doing, I just took another look at you." Wei Lige raised his hands and surrendered.

Qu Ruowen didn't bother to deal with Wei Lige, she used scissors to pick out a fluffy handkerchief.On the handkerchief, there was indeed the blush left by the peony.

Holding the handkerchief, Qu Ruowen walked to the table. There were several teacups on the table. She turned up an upside-down teacup with her left hand, put the handkerchief into the teacup, and then poured water into the teacup.

"What do you want to do?" Wei Lige could guess Qu Ruowen's actions, but he couldn't figure out what she was going to do. "The water doesn't seem to change color."

"If there is color, will anyone still drink it?" As if nothing had happened between the two, the way of getting along has returned to the previous confrontation.

"That makes sense." Wei Lige nodded seriously, which made Qu Ruowen laugh, but she pulled the corner of her mouth and put on a sullen face.

"Second cousin, go and catch a mouse, it needs to be alive." Qu Ruowen stood by the table, waiting for the handkerchief to completely melt into the water.

"Okay... the mouse?" Wei Lige is [-]% happy to hear that Qu Ruo asked him to do things now, but when he heard the mouse, his face was depressed, and there was a trace of sorrow, "You let me be a dignified Mr. Chun." Catching mice?"

"Mr. Chun is very skilled in martial arts. It should be easy to catch a mouse." Qu Ruowen took it for granted that Rong Che was afraid of mice, but he didn't say that Wei Lige was afraid of mice. He pretended to be afraid of mice before coming to him. Panic.

"Let me let others catch it." Although it was Qu Ruowen who said it, but Mother Bi couldn't really let Wei Lige go, so she ordered the servant girl to let someone catch the mouse.

The people under Mama Bi's work were quite efficient. After everyone waited for a while, a servant came over with a big box.

"Mom, the mouse you want is here." The boy said as if offering a treasure, "It's still alive."

"Very good, you go down first." Bi's mother put away the box, let the boy go out, even sent out with the maid.

Qu Ruowen stood up, walked to the other side of the table, and wanted to open the box.

"Wait, let me do it." This kind of thing can't put a girl in danger, Wei Lige let Qu Ruowen aside.

"Although mice can eat people, they can't eat them for a while, not to mention that there is such a tall box blocking it. It will take some effort to crawl out." Although Qu Ruowen said so, the matter of opening the box It was still handed over to Wei Lige.

I don't know if Wei Lige is really afraid of mice. When he opened the box, he was very careful, lest something would jump out of nowhere.

Qu Ruowen had dealt with the mouse for many years, so she was not afraid. She took another teacup, poured some water from the cup with the handkerchief into it, and put it in the box.

The mouse just caught in the box was very alert, jumping up and down, as if fleeing, and looking for food. When Qu Ruowen put the teacup into the box, the mouse smelled the smell of food, and jumped on it. Teacup, leaned over and drank it.

"Are you testing rats for poison?" Wei Lige now finally understood Qu Ruowen's intention.

"Do you think I play with mice? I don't have that hobby."

"I thought you knew that the handkerchief was poisonous, so you wanted to use rats to torture Ling'er." Wei Lige glanced at Ling'er, and said what he thought it was.

"After the mouse dies, it's still too late to slowly torture and extract a confession." Qu Ruowen didn't show any fear of Wei Lige, but rather agreed with him.

When the two were chatting, Bi's mother and Mudan didn't say a word. Peony wanted to rescue Ling'er, but she was powerless, but Bi's mother didn't care. In her eyes, Ling'er was just a maid. Knowing the conversation between Wei Lige and Qu Ruowen, the two were suspicious of Ling'er, so she didn't interfere in Ling'er's affairs, just waiting for the final result.

The final decisive factor was all a mouse. Mother Bi had to wait patiently. She never knew that one day she would actually watch the mouse drink water, which made her wonder if she had lost her head tonight.

The mouse was still crawling, and Bi's mother couldn't wait any longer, but she just opened her mouth, and the mouse actually fell down by the water glass, as if twitching.
