Chapter 686 Flawless
No matter how much effort Xiao Nan made, the wheel of fate was still turning in its intended direction.

When he first received the news, Xiao Nan was at home playing with the treasure returned by Princess Pingyang.

Inside the box was an exquisite ring-shaped jade pendant, the jade was fine and transparent, and it felt warm and comfortable in the hand, Xiao Nan recognized that it was an extremely rare warm jade.

And I don't know if it's a psychological effect, when Xiao Nan held the jade pendant, her mood became extraordinarily calm, even when she heard that Wu's activities were going around in the inner courtyard, she wasn't even a bit annoyed.

Xiao Nan once guessed, could this warm jade have the effect of calming the mind?

In order to clarify her doubts, she specially found a familiar imperial physician, who took the jade pendant to look at it repeatedly, and finally said solemnly: "This thing is extraordinary, in addition to clearing the mind, it can also be tested for poison."

Xiao Nan was overjoyed and said in a trembling voice, "Can you do a drug test? Any kind of poison is fine?"

The imperial doctor is old, his beard and hair are white, he practiced medicine everywhere in the early years, besides superb medical skills, he also has a lot of knowledge.

The white-bearded doctor nodded, and then he was afraid of talking too much, so he hurriedly added: "When I was practicing medicine in the Southwest, I saw this kind of jade ornaments in a certain family, and the jade ornaments can identify many kinds of poisons. , there are a few rare poisonous substances unique to the local area, even the old man couldn't identify them for a while, but they were all detected by this jade ornament... I think this thing is similar to the jade quality of the jade ornament, but I don't know if it can have that kind of poison. It works miraculously."

The corner of Xiao Nan's mouth twitched, she knew that when these doctors spoke, they liked to be vague, lest they would be responsible if they spoke too absolutely.

Well, the imperial doctor is not sure, so she will try.

After sending the imperial physician away, Xiao Nan quietly ordered Yulian to prepare some poisons, such as crane crest red, viper gall, arsenic, thousand machines and other popular killing weapons at that time. Xiao Nan tried them all, and the jade ring was able to recognize them all. out.

Then, Xiao Nan asked Yulian to go to the West Market to secretly buy some poisons unique to foreign countries. Yulian is proficient in medicine, and she is also capable. Drugs such as Mongolian sweat medicine, hallucinogen medicine, and Miqing powder came.

Xiao Nan carefully tried them one by one, and was pleasantly surprised to find that this jade ring was able to detect even the extremely difficult-to-detect Misty Powder.

Treasure, this is definitely a treasure, it can save a life in a critical moment.

No wonder the Eldest Princess returned it so solemnly.

Although I don't know why Mrs. Cui is willing to give this thing to the eldest princess, but looking at the various fortunes of the Cui family after the establishment of the new dynasty, Xiao Nan can probably guess that Mrs. Cui did not make a loss-making business.

The eldest princess was upright and open-minded by nature, she had accepted Cui Shouzhen's gift back then, and having owned the treasure for decades, she already felt very satisfied.

Now that she was leaving, she didn't want to treat the things of the Cui family as family heirlooms of the Chai family, so she returned them to Cui Shouzhen's heirs, and it was considered a complete sisterhood between her and Cui Shouzhen for decades.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Nan understood what the Eldest Princess wanted. While admiring him, he immediately decided to make this jade pendant one of the family heirlooms of the Rongshou Hall. pass on.

Also let future generations know Mrs. Cui's contribution and kindness to the Cui family.

Of course, Xiao Nan didn't forget to write a letter to tell Uncle Cui, after all, this is the treasure of Cui's family, not her Xiao's, and she has no face to steal it for herself.

Within two days, Cui Youbo replied to the letter, in which he told Xiao Nan that she would keep the item.In addition, she also told her that the poisons used in the experiment must be disposed of safely. There are many children in the family. If the children touch it by accident, there is no place to cry when they regret it.

Seeing Uncle Cui's solemn exhortation, Xiao Nan felt a little dissatisfied. Could it be that in the eyes of Uncle Cui, he is a stupid woman who doesn't know how to be prudent?

In fact, Xiao Nan misunderstood Uncle Cui. He heard that Xiao Nan ordered people to buy a lot of poisons in order to test the efficacy of the jade pendant. He thought of many things in his mind, and even came up with conspiracy theories.

Again, Cui Youbo absolutely does not allow any uncertain factors to exist in the family, no matter what happens, it must be done properly, and there is absolutely no possibility of people taking advantage of loopholes.

Not to mention, the Cui family also has Wu Wuniang with ulterior motives.

Although Cui Youbo inquired from Shi San about the reason why Wu Wuniang had mixed into the Cui family, he still felt that something was wrong. He always felt that there seemed to be something hidden about Wu Wuniang's appearance.

Perhaps, besides Guo Biejia's efforts, she infiltrated into Cui's family, but also at the instigation of other people.

Cui Youbo's suspicion was not based on nothing, but was well-founded. At first, Wu Wuniang encountered bandits when she returned to her mother's house. Why didn't she continue to return to Beijing, but turned to a cousin who could not be beaten?
This unscientific.

You know, Wu Wuniang was not penniless at the time, and she still had gold and silver ornaments on her body. With these alone, she was able to return to the capital smoothly.

Also, Cui Youbo is no longer the naive Cui Yulang he was back then. He feels that he can at least rank in the top three young men in the world, and he knows that his charm is not so great that Wu Wuniang is so calculating.

After all, it's not that there are smart and capable sons from a family like him in the capital, and with Wu Wuniang's conditions, maybe she can't marry someone better than him, but it's not difficult to find a husband with similar conditions to the Wu family.

Moreover, Wu Wuniang was married as a wife, not a concubine.

Wives and concubines are absolutely different existences.

Even Cui Youbo, a big man, knows this truth, but he doesn't believe that Wu Wuniang really doesn't care.

But she just did it.

How could Cui Youbo not be suspicious.

In the beginning when Wu Wuniang was sent to the capital, apart from using this to draw out Guo Jizu's secret eyeliner, Cui Youbo also had the intention of defrauding another instigator.

Now that Guo Jizu's matter is known, Cui Youbo feels a little regretful, he shouldn't have brought Wu Wuniang back to the capital, this, isn't this a ticking time bomb at home.

Uncle Cui didn't want Xiao Nan to worry, so he didn't tell her these secrets.The only thing he could do was order someone to crucify Wu Wuniang, and at the same time, secretly remind Xiao Nan to pay attention to this person.

It's a pity that the tacit understanding between their husband and wife is still in the process of cultivating, but Xiao Nana didn't understand Cui Youbo's hint, and instead had a misunderstanding, which led to a small disaster.

However, Xiao Nan can't take care of anything now, her grandfather died, and her grandmother was seriously ill, her heart is full of helplessness towards destiny and the pain of losing a loved one.

Slowly hanging the jade pendant on his waist, Xiao Nan changed into plain clothes, removed the silver hairpin from his temples, and went directly to Xiao's house for the funeral.

Old Duke Xiao fell asleep suddenly while chatting with his children and grandchildren.

At that time Xiao Bo thought his grandfather had fallen asleep, and was about to help him to rest on the couch, when he touched the old man's wrist, he realized that his hand was actually a bit cold.

Xiao Bo's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his hand under the old man's nose in a strange way, and then he seemed to be frightened, and he fell to the ground, shouting in a trembling voice: "Ah!" , Ah Weng? Ah Weng?"

Old Duke Xiao naturally couldn't respond to him, he still kept the posture of sitting cross-legged, but his head was lowered, and his chest didn't heal at all.

Concubine Xiao was making tea for his father with his own hands, so he was not in the tea room, when he suddenly heard Xiao Bo's cry of leaving, he seemed to have thought of something, the pot with the golden fairy driving a crane pattern in his hand, the door seat and the silver tea Luo Luo sieve' It fell to the ground with a bang, and the tea leaves in the sieve were scattered all over the ground.

When Xiao Nan arrived, the servants of Xiao's concierge had already changed into plain clothes, greeting the guests with sad faces.

Hearing the faint cries coming from the courtyard, Xiao Nan's heart sank, and he staggered towards the main room.

Concubine Xiao and several brothers were all dressed in coarse linen mourning clothes, with red eyes, arranging for their father's funeral.

The eldest princess and other female relatives were divided into two parts, one part was crying in the mourning hall, and the other part was guarding in front of Mrs. Xiao's bed, in case the old man was too sad, and there was something wrong.

Xiao Nan stepped into the mourning hall one step at a time, Xiao Bo was leading a few brothers to cry bitterly on the ground, and the monks and Taoists who rushed over also put on a posture, but for Xiao Nan, the whimpering sound or the sound of turning bells and wooden fishes could not be ignored. She couldn't hear it at all.

Mumbly walked to the coffin, Xiao Nan knelt down on the ground, "Ah Weng~~"

……

Xiao Yu was the elder of the three dynasties and also the Duke of Song, the ninth minister of humerus among the 24 ministers of Lingbo Pavilion.When he died, Concubine Xiao delivered a memorial to the palace to report the funeral as usual, and by the way informed the emperor that all the servants of the Xiao family were Ding Qi Qi Ding You.

As for the sage, after receiving the memorial, he sighed slightly. In the past two or three months, there have been news of funerals in Beijing one after another, and those old people who had watched him grow up gradually left.

Even though he didn't have deep feelings for Xiao Yu, he couldn't help feeling a little sad when he first heard the news of the old man's death.

Immediately, he couldn't help but think back to the days when he was still the prince. In a trance, in the days when he and Shiro had the most intense struggle, Song Guogong, an upright old man, was among the few dignitaries who did not agree with Shiro.

Although the old man of the Xiao family has a bit of a poisonous mouth and a bit of a proud temper, he is not a bad person.He advocated etiquette and respected the eldest son. Although he did not explicitly support the prince, he did not hinder the prince either.

Thinking back on these, the saint suddenly had a good impression of this old man, and immediately ordered Taichang Temple to draw up a posthumous title for Xiao Yu.

Dr. Taichang's work efficiency is very high, and it didn't take long for him to draw up a beautiful posthumous title of 'Zhensu'.

The saint thought for a while, and felt that this posthumous title was in line with the old man's behavior, so he agreed.

So soon, a servant came to the Xiao family with an imperial decree to proclaim the decree. Prince Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the sage had given him the beautiful posthumous title of 'Zhensu'. Those who are "virtuous" are upright; those who are "sustainable" are Gangdek, and those who are persistent and decisive are all overflowing.

Concubine Xiao is well aware of the virtues of my old man. The character of the old man is nothing to say, but there are also some flaws. If the late emperor came to calm down, he would not easily grant the posthumous title of 'Zhensu'. 'Zhen' is definitely Yes, but the latter word may not be a good word.

Just for this incident, Concubine Xiao also sincerely bowed and knelt down to thank the saint for his kindness.

The posthumous title came down, and the sage issued a decree to bestow the old Duke Xiao to be buried in Zhaoling, and the funeral of the Xiao family proceeded in an orderly manner.

Xiao Nan is a married woman and cannot stay in Xiao's house all the time, but she still puts most of her thoughts on her natal family, and she has no time to take care of Rongshou Hall.

This negligence caused some discordant things to happen...
