The supernatural peasant girl has some fields

Chapter 252 Spice Mixing
"You guys stay in the house well, don't go out if you have nothing to do, sister Ning, especially you, never leave this yard."

Their current target is Ning Xiaoqi. With what happened last night, they probably won't come for the time being, but as long as Ning Xiaoqi goes out, it's not necessarily so.

He is not by Ning Xiaoqi's side, it is inevitable that those guys will do something bad to Ning Xiaoqi again, so it is best not to go out.

Ning Xiaoqi pursed her lips, nodded, and stayed at home chatting with Mrs. Ma. The day passed quickly, and at night, Chen Tan came back with a serious face.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ma felt a little worried, "What's the matter? But what's the trouble?"

When Chen Tan saw that it was Mrs. Ma, his face immediately softened a lot. He shook his head and said softly, "It's nothing. Nothing happened to you today, right?"

"No, we've been in the yard all the time."

"Yeah." Chen Tan nodded, and after eating together, he locked himself in the room.

As expected of the people in the Du Mansion, everything was done naturally, they couldn't find any other clues at all, he went to the scene today to check, and found nothing strange, even their yard had been Searched and found nothing.

According to the doctor, the poison caused death through breathing. There were no flowers or plants in the room, and he didn't notice a trace of fragrance.

The servants said that Miss would occasionally use incense, but it was rare. After all, incense was more expensive, and she was an unfavored daughter. If there were any good things, it would never be her turn.

He even sent people to search all the courtyards of other people in the mansion, and found nothing unusual, but the maid who gave him the token that the county magistrate said that day had disappeared.

Now the county government is arresting the woman everywhere.

Mrs. He said that the maid was pitiful to them when they met outside, so she bought it back. She is usually very loyal and highly valued by the two of them.

The only thing they can call in in their yard is that maidservant.

Others don't know much about this matter, which is a bit troublesome.

No one knew where she came from or where she lived. Chen Qin guessed that the maid was probably from Du's residence.

There is no clue, everything is very vague, the only thing that can be sure is that Ning Xiaoqi was indeed wronged, but it is useless for them to think so, and they have to block the mouths of Youyou.

Chen Tan was in a bit of a dilemma. If he was asked to fight, he would just pick up the knife and fight without saying a word. If he was asked to think about these things, he was not a general, so it was really a bit embarrassing for him.

"Hey." Just as Chen Tan kept sighing, the door rang, and Ning Xiaoqi's voice came.

"Brother Chen, are you asleep?" Ning Xiaoqi thought for a while in the room, and felt that there was still something wrong with what the doctor said that day. If the taste suddenly changed, there was only one possibility.

She also watched it on TV, so she doesn't know if it's true, but it's better to speak out what's on her mind than to hold it in, and it might not be helpful if it helps.

So here she is.

"come in."

Hearing what Chen Tan said, Ning Xiaoqi opened the door and walked in, saw Chen Tan sitting at the table with a slightly serious face, sat aside with a smile, and asked softly, "Brother Chen, how did you go to see the results today? "

Chen Qin smiled wryly, "I haven't found any clues."

"Brother Chen, when I was in the county government office that day, I heard the doctor who took the lady's pulse say that he said that when he went in the morning, the scent on the lady's body was not the same. I once heard my master say that a kind of herbal medicine, if only If you use it, it may be non-toxic, but if you add another kind, it may become toxic."

"So I think you can think about the scent left on Miss."

Ning Xiaoqi said with a serious face.

"Scent?" Chen Tan squinted his eyes, thinking.

"Yes, food also generates and restrains each other, as do medicinal herbs. Some aromatherapy looks non-toxic, but if another fragrance is added, it is a deadly poison."

This is something worth pondering. He remembered that there had been such a case in the capital.

Chen Qin nodded and looked at Ning Xiaoqi with a smile, "Sister Ning, do you still have a master?"

Ning Xiaoqi chuckled and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Isn't it because I thought that if something happened to my family, it would be faster for me to know medical skills than to go out and ask a doctor, so when there was a plague in the past, I would come along with you." Doctor Cui has learned a little bit."

"Well, I'll check this area tomorrow to see if there are any clues."

Ning Xiaoqi nodded, stood up and bowed to Chen Tan gratefully, "Brother Chen, thank you."

Chen Tan smiled and stopped, "It's okay, Qing'er doesn't want you to get hurt, I will try my best to protect you."

Ning Xiaoqi was grateful and nodded. Just as she turned around, Chen Tan suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly called out, "Sister Ning, wait a minute."

"Brother Chen, is there anything else?"

Chen Tan frowned and asked, "Sister Ning, you?"

He wanted to ask Ning Xiaoqi if he knew his identity, but on second thought, he felt that it would be too impolite for him to ask directly.

He smiled awkwardly and shook his head, "It's nothing."

Ning Xiaoqi was confused, nodded and went back.

On the second day, Chen Qin listened to Ning Xiaoqi's opinion and asked someone to check the scent on Miss Peng's clothes.

Hearing the report from the officers and soldiers, Chen Tan set his sights on Mrs. He.

Mrs. He hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days in a row, she has aged more than ten years in an instant, and even her hair has turned gray a lot.

Seeing this, Chen Tan shook his head and asked softly, "That's it, Mrs. He, do you have incense after you bought the clothes that day?"

Mrs. He hesitated, and shook his head after thinking for a while, "I went back to my yard after I bought the clothes that day. I don't know if the little girl has incense afterward, but I don't think so. The monthly money is only so little, and I have to buy some things on weekdays, so I don’t have money to buy spices at all.”

Speaking of this, He's heart is bitter, the master has not stepped into her yard for more than ten years, let alone his daughter, since the daughter was born, he has never visited her.

The lives of the two mothers and daughters are worsening day by day. At first, it was just the wives suppressing them, but now even the servants are showing their faces.

It is said that they receive monthly money, but in their hands, I am afraid that one tenth of that is gone, either it was deducted or they were greedy by those slaves.

Regarding this, Mrs. He could only endure it.

"How many maids are guarding your yard? Bring those maids here."

"This..." Mrs. He smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. There are five guards in this yard on weekdays, and with the bought Xiaoxiang, there are six people. Xiaoxiang is missing now, and the other five people are all guards." He was sent by his wife to serve in another yard."

Chen Tan frowned, "Why did you take them away? I don't know if the county government will investigate the case?"
