Chapter 415 Madam Was Poisoned

"Well, I think he has a problem too!"

Ji Nuan looked into Ye Han's eyes, and felt happy that he and his little brother had something in common.

"What's the problem?"

At this moment, a gentle and smiling female voice came from behind. The two turned their heads together and saw Xu Ruowei walking over.

Seeing her cousin, Ji Nuan thought of that inexplicable cousin's husband, who thought he was nice in the morning, but made her feel that she might be blind in the afternoon.

She was a little angry, and looked at her cousin with a bit of sadness: "Cousin, how did you fall in love with brother-in-law in the first place? He is so fierce."

Xu Ruowei was taken aback by Ji Nuan's words, but seeing the little girl's unhappy appearance, she soon realized something.

Walking over, he rubbed the girl's soft long hair: "Did he teach you a lesson? Did he make you unhappy?"

Ji Nuan blinked, neither admitted nor denied.

Now, how could Xu Ruowei understand?

"Then let me apologize to our eldest lady on his behalf. Can you forgive him? Your cousin-in-law is usually very talkative, but when it comes to business matters, he becomes extremely stubborn, and can even be called a Don't be selfless. If he puts you in trouble, don't blame him, he has absolutely no intention of targeting you. "

Although her cousin said good things for Chi Yinghan, Ji Nuan didn't believe that much, she believed in her instinct more, this cousin's husband just didn't like her.

"Okay, don't think too much, the county magistrate's wife invited us to drink tea, Nuan Nuan, let's come together." Xu Ruowei smiled.

"County magistrate's wife?" Ji Nuan just remembered that she had been in the county office for a long time, and she hadn't seen the mistress yet.

On the other side, after discussing the case with Chi Yinghan, Du Ruxu couldn't help but chat about Ji Nuan.

"Brother Chi was too fierce to Miss Ji just now? After all, he is a charming young lady. If he offends her, will it have any effect on Brother Chi?"

Chi Yinghan raised his head when he heard the words: "I'm just telling the truth. This case is too appalling, and it's not suitable for her, Miss Jiao, to get involved. As for whether to offend her..."

Chi Yinghan recalled Ji Nuan's "vicious" appearance when he first met him, and frowned with a hint of boredom:
"She's spoiled by her family, that's why she's so lawless. Brother Du, don't worry too much. Our most important thing now is to find the murderer. If she insists on making trouble... I'll let my wife send her back."

Seeing Chi Yinghan's firm attitude, Du Ruxu couldn't say anything.

"My wife is not in good health, and spends most of her time recuperating in bed. Today, I learned that Mrs. Chi and Ms. Ji came to the county government office and wanted to see the two of you, so I specially asked my servant to come over and invite you." The maid Zhenzhu smiled. explain.

"It's us who bothered you. We should pay a visit." Xu Ruowei was talking to the pearl.

Ji Nuan's eyes fell on the young man beside him.

Originally, the magistrate's wife invited her and her cousin, and the little brother was going to leave, but Ji Nuan wanted to know what was going on in the house, and he still had a lot of questions to ask, so he forced him to stay and not let him go.

Fortunately, today's little brother is very talkative, after she begged for a while, he nodded in agreement.

On the other hand, Xu Ruowei kept looking at her jokingly, but she just pretended not to know.

People, always have a thick skin to be happier.

Originally thought that the county magistrate's wife in Pearl's mouth was not in good health, she should be a weak and sick beauty, and then she was lying on the bed resting like Ji Nuan before.

So when they entered the courtyard and saw a big beauty in bright red drinking tea at the stone table, everyone was stunned.

"Is this also called poor health?"

Ji Nuan grabbed the boy's clothes and murmured unconsciously.

Ye Hanshi glanced at the grabbed cloth, then moved it away without reminding her.

But when the county magistrate's wife opened her mouth, people believed that she was not in good health, because she would cough twice when she couldn't say a few words,

"Two, ahem, no, three distinguished guests, please take a seat. Please don't mind the poor greeting."

"Ma'am, you are welcome." Xu Ruowei sat down with a smile, and then introduced the identities of the two: "This is my cousin Ji Nuan, Madam should know, as for Ye Han, Mr. Ye is my cousin's good friend , come to the house to bother me, I hope Madam doesn't mind."

"How could it be? Cough cough, I have been sick for a long time, and I haven't seen you for a long time. I am very happy to see you guys, cough cough,"

The county magistrate's wife coughed several times while talking.

It was clearly the season of early spring, but she was still wrapped in a cloak, and she really seemed to be in poor health.

"Several please have some tea."

Pearl stepped forward and distributed the brewed tea to the three of them.

Xu Ruowei thanked her with a smile, and drank a toast.

Ji Nuan also smiled, and was about to drink the tea, but someone pulled her arm.

She turned around with some doubts, and the young man beside her still had the same expression, but quietly wrote a word in her palm.

She looked even more puzzled, but the boy had already drank it, so she could only raise it and pretend to drink it.

Then put down the teacup and never touch it again.

Fortunately, others only thought that she didn't like tea and didn't say anything.

The county magistrate's wife is indeed not in good health, but within half a cup of tea, she coughs badly.

The meeting had to end in a hurry, and the maid sent her back to her room to rest.

Xu Ruowei said a few words of concern, and then left with Ji Nuan.

"The county magistrate's wife is also pitiful, she is such a beautiful woman, but her body is so poor..." Xu Ruowei sighed, but the topic shifted to Ji Nuan:
"Nuannuan, are you alright? Xiaoqing said that he will urge the medicine for you, and it should be fine now. You and I can go back and drink the medicine."

"Ah, take the medicine?" Ji Nuan blinked her eyes: "Okay, I'm going to take the medicine, cousin, you go back first."

Before Xu Ruowei could speak, she looked at Ye Hanshi and said, "Little brother, I'm going back to take my medicine, can you accompany me?"

Xu Ruowei silently swallowed the "we are together" that she wanted to say.

Ye Han glanced at the other party's complicated expression from the corner of his eye, and nodded towards Ji Nuan: "Yeah."

Ji Nuan laughed immediately, then turned to Xu Ruowei and said, "Cousin, let's go first."

Xu Ruowei's expression became more and more complicated: "Okay, let's go."

Watching the two leave, she looked down at her handkerchief:

No, I must find a chance to have a good chat with Nuan Nuan!
What she didn't know was that when she turned the corner and where no one was looking, Ji Nuan stopped suddenly, looked at the young man in front of her with a nervous expression
"Little brother, why didn't you want me to drink the county magistrate's wife's tea just now?"

Ye Hanshi glanced around to make sure no one looked at the girl in front of him:
"Because the lady was poisoned, I suspect there is something wrong with her stuff."
