The supernatural peasant girl has some fields

Chapter 264 Mixed Poison
After the maid left, Dr. Cui said with a serious face, "My lord, I want to go to Missy's to see what kind of flower it is."

Chen Tan nodded. If the poisonous aromatherapy came from the eldest lady, I am afraid that this matter has something to do with the eldest lady.

And the flower cake, Chen Qin pursed her lips, and immediately ordered someone to go to the kitchen to check whether the flower cake that day was the same as the pollen in the maid's nails, and if so.

There was a hint of danger in Chen Tan's eyes, and he led Dr. Cui directly to the courtyard of the eldest lady.

The eldest lady was basking in the sun in the yard, but when she heard that Chen Tan had arrived, she became refreshed and immediately stood up to straighten her clothes.

Turned around on the spot and asked, "Xiao Cui'er, show me if there is any dirt on the clothes."

When Xiao Cui'er heard that Chen Tan was coming, her complexion turned a little dark. Seeing that the eldest lady was so excited, she swallowed her saliva and replied respectfully, "Miss, the clothes are very nice, and the makeup of the lady is also very decent."

The eldest lady nodded in satisfaction, secretly happy in her heart.

Originally, her father said to let her go to the front yard at noon, but now it's fine, the adult came directly.

Could it be that he had taken a fancy to himself in the hall before, the eldest lady thought, with a hint of smugness in her eyes.

I can't find another one in this town with my appearance. At the beginning, she refused many young masters who came to ask for marriage.

How could such an ordinary person be worthy of her? She naturally wanted to find a more formidable person. Although this person was ordinary in appearance, Dad respected him even more than the county magistrate. It was not easy at first glance.

For so many years, she also has her own calculations.

The eldest lady raised the corners of her mouth, stretched out her hand to lift the hair next to her ears, and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. The eldest lady glanced at Xiao Cui'er and asked in a slightly cold voice, "Did you say anything in front of the adults before?" It should be said."

Xiao Cui'er froze, clenched her hands unnaturally, and said in a low voice, "The servant didn't say anything. The lord saw that the servant didn't know anything, so he released it."

When the eldest lady heard what Xiao Cui'er said, her face softened a little, and she said with a smile, "Well, let's go then, and go to meet your lord."

"Yes." Xiao Cui'er was a little guilty, and helped the eldest lady to the courtyard gate.

Outside the courtyard gate, Chen Tan and Dr. Cui Ning Xiaoqi were there. Chen Tan had a serious face. When the eldest lady saw the figure at the door, she immediately walked over quickly.

When she saw that Chen Tan was not alone outside the door, she was taken aback, but she reacted immediately, and respectfully saluted Chen Tan, "I've seen you, sir."

Chen Tan gave up, looked at Miss Peng's face softened, and said softly, "Miss, I heard that the potted flower I saw in Miss Er's room a few days ago belonged to you. Is it convenient for Miss Fang?"

When Miss Peng heard this, doubts flashed across her eyes, and she said with some confusion, "A few days ago, I sent someone to bring it back from my sister's room. My mother said it was unlucky, so I ordered someone to throw it away."

"Lost it?" Chen Tan frowned, looking straight at Miss Peng.

Miss Peng nodded and smiled wryly, "Well, when I brought it back that day, my mother threw the flower away. As for where it went, I don't know."

Chen Tan pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Cui'er. Xiao Cui'er was startled, and quickly lowered her head, trembling a little, not daring to speak.

Chen Tan took a deep breath, "Since you lost it, forget it. I saw that the scent of the flower is very pleasant, and I want to buy one for my wife. Miss, do you know where that flower is sold?"

"You have a wife!" The eldest lady looked at Chen Tan with astonishment when she heard that.

How could he already have a wife? Dad clearly said that he had never seen other women beside him.

Immediately, the eldest lady was filled with emotions, and looked at Chen Tan with a complicated expression.

Chen Tan didn't ask much about the surprised look on the eldest lady's face, and nodded with a smile, "Ms. Chen has already married a wife and has a son. Missy, do you know where those flowers are sold?"

The eldest lady bit her lip, trying to digest this fact in her heart. She never thought that he not only had a wife, but even a child.

This.
Although this person in front of me is not simple, how could she be willing to be a concubine? The smile on the eldest lady's face faded immediately, she clenched her hands tightly, and said respectfully, "I don't know, that flower is my mother's gift from a tourist." I bought it in my hand, my lord, I feel a little uncomfortable and want to go back to my room to rest."

Chen Tan pursed her lips, "Then don't bother Miss."

"My lord, go slowly." The eldest lady nodded, turned and went back to her room.

Chen Tan and his men couldn't enter the boudoir of a woman's house. If outsiders heard about it, it would inevitably have some bad effects.

There are still many doubts about what the eldest lady said, but it is obvious that she doesn't want to say anything to them, so they have no choice but to let it go.

Chen Tan breathed a sigh of relief. Not long after they returned to Second Miss's yard, two officers and soldiers strode in and said respectfully to Chen Tan, "My lord, we have found it."

"Is it the same as this pollen?"

"Yes, my lord, we took the pollen and went to the kitchen to check. The steward in the kitchen told us that the eldest lady had indeed asked someone to make a stack of flower cakes that day, which was consistent with the pollen you gave us."

"Okay, you all step back first, and watch them carefully in the kitchen. Don't let them have any accidents, and don't startle them. If you have any problems, report them immediately."

The officers and soldiers nodded and went down to work.

There was a hint of danger in Chen Tan's eyes, and he looked at Doctor Cui and asked softly, "Doctor Cui, the combination of these two is the deadly poison?"

If so, then the person who killed Second Miss was this hypocritical eldest lady.

Doctor Cui looked serious, stroking his beard and shaking his head, "It doesn't count, there is something fatal missing in it, my lord, can you tell me what the flowers you saw that day looked like? I want to confirm."

Chen Tan thought for a while, then said softly, "The flower blooms at night, it is yellow, and there is no fragrance when it is not in bloom, but after it blooms, it emits bursts of fragrance, which smells very pleasant. There are no leaves, only rhizomes. , looks very unique."

The more Chen Tan said, the more Dr. Cui confirmed that the flower was the last blind ingredient.

Originally, the combination of these two would not cause death, at most it was only slightly poisoned, but it would be different if the flower was added.

When the flowers are not in bloom, they are non-toxic, but after they are in full bloom, mixing these two will be a deadly poison for people to inhale.

Because it will be closed during the day, so after people are poisoned to death, the fragrance will slowly dissipate, and finally become an unpredictable poison.

He had seen this kind of thing once in the palace before.

I didn't expect to see him here again after so many years.

When Ning Xiaoqi and the others heard it, they suddenly realized, "Brother Chen, if this is the case, we can also explain why the smell was different when the doctor said that he took Miss Peng's pulse in the morning. When they brought the corpse to Yigu Qingcheng , it's almost noon."
