The Prince's Humen's Wife

Chapter 45

"Third sister, you should get out of the way first, something seems wrong with grandma."

"Don't do this to me!" Xiuniang was confronting Li Chaochao, but she didn't see the old lady's face behind her, and cursed: "Li Chaochao, you haven't answered me yet!"

Li Chaochao looked over with sarcasm in his eyes, "Why can't I understand what Third Sister said? Of course I made this spice, otherwise where would it come from?"

Xiu Niang choked for a moment, her face was a little embarrassing, before she could say anything, she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, and a leg rolled over from the opposite side, directly knocked her over to the ground, and wailed: "Ouch."

Li Chaochao withdrew his footsteps, without raising his eyelids, he hurried forward to check on the old lady, "Grandmother, how are you doing?"

At this moment, a few people came in from outside, saw the scene in the room, and shouted: "What's going on?"

Neither early nor late, the time is just right.

Seeing the person who came, Li Chaochao choked up, "Mother, come and have a look, grandma has lost her mind for some reason."

Among the three people who came in, the eldest lady walked in the front, and besides Fu's mother, she also brought a fresh-faced woman.

It was the first time for the eldest lady to see Li Chaochao in such a panic, she stepped forward to check, and she was frightened when she saw that the old lady was in a coma, and quickly called Fu's mother to invite the doctor.

The woman following Cao saw the old lady at a glance, suddenly opened her eyes wide, pulled out the sachet she was holding tightly in her hand, smelled it under her nose, and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute!"

The eldest lady was very nervous, but she still treated the woman very respectfully, "Master Tang, what's the matter?"

There are four elegance in Dayuan, burning incense, drinking tea, appreciating flowers and illustrations, among which burning incense is the favorite of the big families in central and central Beijing.

Incense burning is divided into incense making, incense tasting and incense teaching, and incense makers are the most sought after. As the saying goes, you can buy hundreds of flowers for a thousand dollars, but it is hard to find hundreds of kinds of incense at sky-high prices.

Speaking of which, this woman is a first-class incense maker from Yongkang City. She also received news that there was a master incense maker in Jiangnan, so she came all the way to Zhenjiang to find the incense powder lady. She was worried that she would have no way out. At that time, she received an invitation from Mrs. Li's Mansion, knowing that she felt something was wrong as soon as she entered the door, especially when she saw the sachet in the old lady's hand, it confirmed what she thought in her heart.

"Ma'am, I don't know if there is a sentence that should be said or not."

"Master Tang has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Master Tang pondered for a while, and deliberately lowered his voice, "There is something wrong with this sachet."

Xiu Niang, who was kicked to the ground by Li Chaochao, was still a little dazed, but before she had time to go to the old lady and cry, the matter took a turn for the worse. When she heard the strange woman say that there was something wrong with the sachet she gave to the old lady, she grunted. Stand up, "Don't talk nonsense, this is...but I bought it from the Xiangfen Niangniang for a lot of money as a gift to my grandmother, how can there be any problems!."

At this moment, Xiuniang is still riding a tiger. She can't tell the real origin of the sachet, let others laugh at her, but insists that it came from the hands of Empress Xiangfen. If something goes wrong, she can find ways to evade it.

The eldest lady gave her a suspicious look, "You really bought it from Empress Xiangfen?"

"Of course it is!" Xiu Niang insisted with her mouth stiff and her neck stuck.

Da Furen stretched out her hand and wanted to take the sachet to smell it, but was stopped by the teacher, "No Da Furen, this sachet contains two taels of rue and a penny of sweet pine."

"Aren't they all ordinary incense recipes?" The eldest lady frowned suspiciously. There is also a incense powder shop in the Li family property, and she also knows a little about incense.

Master Tang sighed, "But when these two things are mixed together, the first smell will make you feel ecstatic, but it can make people addicted, and once you smell it too much, you will fall into a coma."

She strode to the wall, opened the window, and fresh air came in. Immediately, people felt refreshed. Even the old lady in Li Chaochao's arms coughed twice, showing signs of waking up.

The eldest lady called out in multiple voices: "Mother, mother..."

Sure enough, after a while, when the fragrance in the room dissipated, the old lady woke up faintly, and said weakly: "What's the matter?"

"Grandma, it's none of my business, really none of my business."

Xiu Niang shook her head in panic, fearing that she would be punished for it.

The eldest lady gave her a dark look, and said in a low voice: "Mother, you are just tired. I will ask Mother Fu to help you in to rest first."

Fu's mother didn't have to wait for the old lady to say anything more, she stepped forward to take the old lady from Li Chaochao's hand.

The old lady just woke up, she felt dizzy and weak, and she leaned on Fu's mother and went to the back hall.

Until it was confirmed that the old lady couldn't see it, the old lady glared at Xiuniang fiercely, and shouted angrily: "What's going on!"

"This... I bought this from Empress Xiangfen!"

Master Tang retorted in a low voice, "Impossible, you can smell it from the degree of purification, how could such a low-quality face powder be made by her, this is not self-defeating!"

"Who are you, why are you talking nonsense..."

With a slap, before Xiuniang finished speaking, the eldest lady slapped her across the face, "I have no sense, the person standing in front of you is a first-class perfumer in the capital, how could she still lie to you! Don’t repent even if you make mistakes! Now the incense powder concocted by the incense powder lady is sold in our shop, do you mean that what we sell is fake!”

The eldest lady sneered, "Did you say where the powder came from? Or am I serving you with family law?"

Xiuniang was so frightened that she froze for a moment, Li Chaochao stepped forward and squatted down and said, "Mother, my daughter thought that the third sister lied that she bought it from outside because she wanted to make grandma happy. I don’t have so much silver, so I concoct spices myself, but I am not proficient, so I used the wrong recipe..."

"Is that so?" The eldest lady looked at Xiuniang in disbelief, this explanation was reasonable.

At this time, Xiuniang suddenly came to her senses, and she finally understood that everything before and after was Li Chaochao's premeditation, and she was being plotted!

"Li Chaochao!" Xiu Niang yelled and pointed to the opposite side, "It's you! It's you who made the poisonous face powder that made grandma lose her mind!"

Li Chaochao sighed quietly, "People really can't have good intentions. I have already found a reason for you. Why did the third sister wrong me instead! You just say that you did something wrong, and mother will not blame you."

Listening to Li Chaochao's words of confounding black and white, Xiuniang was even more furious, and she didn't bother to tell the truth so much, "I haven't done anything, why should I admit it, the only thing I admit is that I stole your incense powder... this poisonous You made the sachet at all!"

"Third sister." Li Chaochao's voice was very helpless, "Since you said you stole mine, where did the incense powder in the box on the ground come from?"
