Resourceful beauty

Chapter 153
"No slaves, slaves dare not, please check carefully."

The little maid in emerald green coat and trousers kowtowed and begged for mercy, and shouted loudly, as if she was really wronged by Cui's mother.

Mother Cui was Chen Mei's wet nurse. When she married from Jiangbei, she thought that her whole family was in Jiangbei, and that when she was old, she would return to her roots, so Chen Mei didn't bring her with her.

Later, when the good news of pregnancy came back, the old man went to Mrs. Chen to ask for grace, and followed the two nurses prepared by the Chen family to the capital.

Since then, the small kitchen in Qingfengzhai has been watched by Madam Cui alone.

There have been a lot of dirty things in the mansion of the wealthy family. Cui Nanny firmly believes that the inner house of Prince Qi's mansion is not very clean, but if anyone dares to tamper with Chen Mei's food and let her catch him, if he doesn't chop it up, he will be fine. People's claws, her surname is not Cui.

This is the promise made by Nanny Cui to sit down in front of Fang Zhengjun.

Sure enough, today, there was a servant who didn't have long eyes, and was caught by Nanny Cui.

With a slap, half of the little girl's face swelled up quickly, Cui Mama tore the little maid's hair and shouted sharply: "This is Prince Qi's mansion. Believe it or not, I can arrest you right now, strip you naked, hang you up, and beat you? Do you dare to yell again and I will listen..."

The little maid's hoarse roar was naturally intended to attract the attention of people outside Qingfengzhai, so that more people would know that something happened inside Qingfengzhai.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Cui Mama saw through.

For nine cold days, being stripped naked and hung up for beatings was still very intimidating to a little girl in her teens. Sure enough, that little girl didn't dare to make a sound anymore, and only looked at Chen with a pair of timid eyes. Mei seemed to be saying: Concubine Shizi, the servant really didn't prescribe the medicine.

Ever since Chen Mei entered the main room, she felt that the little girl looked familiar. Now that she saw it clearly, she immediately remembered, "I just entered the mansion, and when I went to Qingfengzhai to pick people, I chose you. Your name is Maoya. I I changed your name to Hongdou, right?"

Hongdou nodded again and again, "It's the servant girl."

While talking, Hongdou tried to crawl towards Chen Mei's feet with all her hands and feet, but was restrained by Nanny Cui, unable to move at all.

"The imperial concubine is aware, the servant is working in the small kitchen, and is in charge of holding firewood to burn the stove. Nanny Cui is guarding the stove for the imperial concubine to cook soup, but the servant has never approached even a single step. The imperial concubine is clearly aware..."

Hongdou still did not forget to defend herself, before she could finish her sentence, she was spat on the face by Nanny Cui, "You little hoof, you don't tell the truth, do you? Believe it or not, no matter how dare you argue, I will keep my word? "

Hongdou collapsed at Mammy Cui's feet weakly, out of breath from crying.

Nanny Cui didn't intend to let her go, she held her with one hand, turned to look at Chen Mei and said, "Concubine Shizi, whether the soup or the things stewed in the soup are all in the hands of this old slave, make sure there is no There is a problem, but the problem lies in the soup pot. I don’t know who ordered the dead hoof. The dishcloth when washing the pot is covered with a thick layer of arsenic. Tang, they really got their hands on it."

The kitchen was supposed to stew crucian carp tofu soup, but instead of winter bamboo shoots and black chicken soup, the ingredients were changed.

When I took it out of the pot, I found that all the mushrooms that were originally hemp-colored had turned black, and the emerald-white winter bamboo shoots seemed to be stained with a layer of ink and had not been washed clean.

Mammy Cui was worried, so she mixed the soup with some chicken food, grabbed a chicken and fed it, within a quarter of an hour, the chicken wobbled and fell in front of the stove.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, Madam Cui ordered a thorough inspection of the kitchen. Everyone performed their duties, the same as in the past, the only difference was that after getting up early, all the pots and bowls were washed with red beans, and this was not her job at all. .

After telling the story, Nanny Cui was furious, if she was not in front of Chen Mei, she would have wanted to slap Hong Dou a few times, but outside, Ningxue lifted the curtain and came in, throwing the bundle in her hand in front of Hong Dou.

In the baggage, there was a silver ticket of 200 taels, and a pair of jadeite bracelets.

"Still stubborn?"

Dragging Hongdou out, Cui Nanny's subordinates were not idle at all, Hongdou's face was twisted black and blue, thinking that he would be hanged and beaten to death in a while, Hongdou no longer dared to hide it, and changed his words.

"It was Sister Hua from the big kitchen. She asked the servant to do this. She also said that afterward, the entire family of the servant could be freed from slavery. This is why the servant... just changed his mind."

Red Bean cried and said.

Chen Mei put her hand lightly on her lower abdomen, but she felt a chill in her heart: Even if she was so careful, she was still taken advantage of by others. If she drank the bowl of soup today, at this moment, the child is gone. Whether there is still life, I am afraid it is not certain, right?
"The small kitchen has been re-made meals. The concubine Shizi will use it anyway. I will leave this hoof to the old slave to dispose of. Don't dirty your hands."

Said in a deep voice, Mammy Cui grabbed the red bean to cover her mouth, and dragged it down.

"Sister-in-law is pregnant, don't let such things mess up your mind, don't worry, father is not here, brother is the indomitable master of this family, and I will definitely not let the screwdriver get away with it."

Comforting Chen Mei, and beckoning Ningxue to come and accompany her, Fang Ruxuan got up and left the yard.

At the door of the firewood room, Fang Ruxuan was stopped, and Madam Cui said with a smile: "The inside is not pretty, I'm afraid it will spoil the eyes of the princess, don't worry, the old servant will not kill her."

Since she is a servant of Qingfengzhai, Fang Ruxuan will not do anything unnecessary if Chen Mei acquiesces with Nanny Cui, but she still tells Nanny Cui: "Anyway, remember to hold your breath, I am useful."

Cui Mama nodded and said yes.

Fang Ruxuan turned around and went out for a few steps. In the distance, the gagged woman brought her over in a bundle.

Without taking another look, Fang Ruxuan went back to Qingfengzhai.

After lunch, she talked with Chen Mei, and Fang Ruxuan didn't leave Qingfengzhai until she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Going all the way to Shuyuxuan, looking at the clouds that were getting thick and heavy above her head, it seemed that it was going to snow again, Fang Ruxuan said in a low voice: "It's good to snow, when it snows, all the unclean things in the world will be wiped away." Cover it, out of sight."

In the evening, not long after Fang Zhengjun came back, he headed towards the Yixin Hall aggressively. Halfway there, Lilac, who was sent by Fang Ruxuan, invited him to Shuyuxuan.

After handing over Hongdou and Hua Pozi's confession to Fang Zhengjun, Fang Ruxuan said softly, "These two people have already become Su Yuan's abandoned pawns. It will be useless for my brother to rush to the Yixin Palace now. When the time comes, I can only see her arrogant face, which makes me even more angry."

"Then do nothing and make her feel that we are all soft persimmons and let her handle it?"

Prince Qi's matter has not yet been settled with her. At this moment, Fang Zheng's stomach full of anger has nowhere to vent.

Fang Ruxuan smiled, "Brother, don't worry, if it's not today or tomorrow, she will be able to taste the bitter wine she brewed herself. Then, if she wants to tell lies, she can't help herself."

Fang Zhengjun looked at Fang Ruxuan suspiciously.

"Jiang Daochang said, probably tonight, the person who cast the Gu will be caught. At that time, we will return the same way to the other body, so that she can taste the pain that her father has suffered. After falling into the Gu, She wants to tell lies, but she can't help it, let's see if it's her blunt mouth, or those Gu worms are more capable."

The words were whispered, but Fang Ruxuan was hesitating in her heart, whether to tell him that Su Yuan was responsible for her mother's death, but she was also worried that if her father was not around, if Fang Zhengjun got impulsive, no one could stop her He caused some irreparable disaster.

In the end, Fang Ruxuan decided to hold back and not to speak, and to go through the several lawsuits in front of her first, and to deal with her mother's matter after King Qi came back from Ningbei.

Coming in a rage, she left in a blur. After Fang Zhengjun left, Fang Ruxuan really let out a sigh of relief.

After Yixindian heard the news that Hua Pozi had been kidnapped, it was already dinner time. Although Su Yuan felt uneasy, she thought that even if Hongdou and Hua Pozi confessed to her, Fang Zhengjun and Chen Mei would not dare to do anything to her. Then feel at ease again.

As long as they dared to come to confront her, she would dare to say that they made trouble by playing off the prince's unconsciousness. In short, as long as they bit him to death and refused to admit that she ordered him to do so, things would turn around.

Chen Mei is only two months pregnant, and there are still nearly eight months before she gives birth. In more than 200 days, there is always something to do, and after such a long time, King Qi has already died, and King Lu is probably approaching the capital, saying Maybe, he has already sat on the throne.

As long as King Qi and the child in Chen Mei's womb are removed, Fang Zhengjun will have the final say at that time?

Isn't it obvious who the next King Qi will be?

Su Yuan almost laughed triumphantly.

At night, after drinking the bird's nest porridge, Su Yuan took a bath to freshen up and planned to rest, but there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard gate.

Along the way came Fang Zhengjun and Fang Ruxuan, followed by a young man whose hands and feet were bound.

The man was about 20 years old. His hair was braided into many small braids and hung behind his head. The color of his hair and eyes were glazed, so he was not a native of Dayuan.

Seeing that person, Su Yuan was a little puzzled, and shouted at Fang Zhengjun angrily: "It's the middle of the night, what song is this son singing?"

Fang Zhengjun was not in a hurry, he waved his hand, and asked his attendants to pull the man down. In the hall, only Fang Ruxuan, Su Yuan and a few maids around her were left.

"Wangfei's bird's nest porridge, can you drink it?"

Fang Ruxuan asked.

Knowing that there might be something wrong with the bird's nest porridge, Su Yuan didn't answer, Fang Ruxuan asked with a smile: "Does the princess have abdominal pain now?"

After being told by Fang Ruxuan, Su Yuan really felt a little pain in her lower abdomen.

"What did you do? If you want to poison, be careful, I will go to Shuntian Mansion to sue you for killing your mother."

Su Yuan resisted and reprimanded.

Fangzheng pouted in the pitch-black night outside the hall, "Princess, do you know what that person did just now?"

Seeing Su Yuan looking back, Fang Zhengjun solved the mystery, "That man is from Miaojiang, and he is good at playing Gu. Didn't the concubine see what my father looked like a few days ago?"

I just felt my stomach growling, and Su Yuan's feet went limp, and she immediately collapsed on the ground.
