famous concubine

Chapter 505: Fire in the Backyard (5)
"Ma'am, I also found the hairpin." The fourth aunt walked slowly to Madam, with a strange and angry look in her eyes. She spread out her right palm, and there was a hairpin in her palm, and Madam asked a question. Before being surprised, she quickly said: "Although this hairpin is worth a few dollars; but in my eyes, no matter how valuable it is, it is not as valuable as Miss Fourth's life; what I am really looking for is these things."

The madam stared suspiciously at the thing that the fourth aunt handed over... It was a little white powder, and it was impossible to tell what it was from the shape and smell.

Dongfang Yu stared at the little powder, lowered his eyes for a moment, and meditated silently.

"What is this?" Madam still frowned, looked at Ji Sulian who also looked blank, and then turned her gaze back to Si Yiniang's face.

"Madam, before the concubine explains this thing, please look at another thing first." The fourth aunt turned her gaze, landed on your mother, and said, "Girl's mother, take the ointment that Fourth Miss usually uses and give it to me." Take a look, ma'am."

Your mother looked at Ji Sulian with deep eyes, answered "Yes" softly, and quickly brought a box of ointment to the wife.

"This is the ointment that Fourth Miss usually puts on her face to lighten scars. She has been using this ointment for a while." Your mother handed the ointment to Madam and explained softly. "Madam, please smell this box of ointment, and then this packet of powder."

Madam's heart became cold and bright for a moment.

Looking at the different things in his hands, there was faint anger and hatred in his eyes.

Things have come to this point, even a blind person can understand that the box of ointment that Dongfang Ni usually uses must have been tampered with, and this kind of powder of unknown substance has been mixed in it, and these powders...

She didn't really smell the different things in her hands; instead... she raised her head and looked at Master Mingfei at the gate of the courtyard; she remembered that he said that he also knew medicine.

"Master Mingfei, may I ask you, what are these powders used for?" Madame came to Master Mingfei with the thought. She said, and handed the bag of powder to Mingfei first. Master said, "Please take a look at this first."

Master Mingfei took the thing and looked at it, then leaned close to his nose and sniffed it, then his eyes changed slightly, his voice was cold, and he said: "Madam, this thing...is not a good thing, if it is mixed with Angelica dahurica, it will Attracts nearby scorpions; and..."

Master Mingfei turned his gaze gloomyly, and slowly swept across Dongfang Ni's veiled face, and then said: "Scorpions like to crawl on the skin of ravines, if someone uses this ointment, the poisonous scorpion will follow." This smell will definitely come together crazily..."

After Master Mingfei said this, he didn't continue to talk.

Because he saw that the faces of all the female relatives turned pale, but the wife's face was gloomy and dark, and quickly condensed into black ice.

"Thank you, Master, for clearing our confusion." After a long time, Madam finally forced a dry smile, and thanked Master Mingfei.

But Master Mingfei looked at her silently, and seeing that no one was injured, he put his hands together and turned to leave.

"Madam, please deal with this matter fairly!" As soon as Master Mingfei left, Fourth Aunt immediately forced her to come over.

Ji Sulian was stunned for a long time before she finally understood what Master Mingfei said just now, no doubt indirectly proving that she was the suspect who put poison to induce poisonous scorpions to sting Dongfang Ni.

At this moment, seeing the cold and fierce eyes of the madam flashing towards her angrily, she hurried forward in a panic, looked at the madam with begging eyes, and said in a low voice: "Madam, I didn't, trust me, I have no idea what it is; much less why it's in my room."

"Just now... yes, the fourth aunt must have secretly taken it out of her body to frame me just now." Seeing his wife glaring at her angrily, Ji Sulian kept silent, panicked, and looked at the contempt of the fourth aunt. There was a sudden flash of inspiration in the mind of the resentful gaze, and then he blamed Fourth Aunt first.

"Young mistress, before you speak or act, you'd better feel your conscience first!" The fourth aunt snorted coldly, squinting her chin slightly, and stared at Ji Sulian coldly, her demeanor was justified with contempt and contempt, "Just now When everyone went in to look for hairpins, Mama Rong was watching all the time."

As soon as Si Yiniang said this, Ji Sulian's face suddenly turned pale.

And Madam also lowered her eyes, with a gloomy face, silently thinking about something.

She did instruct Mother Rong just now to keep an eye on Fourth Aunt's mother and daughter, in order to prevent their mother and daughter from secretly plotting to frame Ji Sulian, but she never thought that she was mistaken for her cleverness.

It was originally an act of secretly taking care of Ji Sulian, but instead it became a powerful witness against Ji Sulian.

"Ma'am." Si Yiniang looked at the indecisive madam, and said, "We have always respected your fairness in dealing with affairs, and you have seen what happened today; what's wrong with you, you should also tell us a word." talk?"

Madam sighed secretly, now that the evidence is solid, it is impossible for her to protect Ji Sulian even if she wants to.

She turned her eyes slightly, flashed Ji Sulian's pleading and expecting face, then looked at Fourth Aunt, and said slowly: "Although there is still room for discussion on this matter; but...that harmful thing After all, it was found from Su Lian's room; I have always advocated harmonious coexistence of the family."

"But right now, such a sad thing has happened; seeing that we are still temporarily staying in Puji Temple and many things are inconvenient, I will deal with this matter as follows for the time being."

Fourth Yiniang heard her words, and her heart was already churning with anger. She was waiting for Madam's decision, and was ready to have a head-to-head confrontation with Madam at any time.

Seeing her ready to go to war with her, Madam couldn't help lowering her eyelashes and laughing coldly in her heart.

It's really unrefined, and I can't help being angry.

"Su Lian, from now on, without my permission, you should stay in the room and reflect on yourself; well, there is this box of ointment, let it stay in your room, so that you can always remind you to be cautious."

Madam, make a decision; Fourth Aunt and Dongfang Ni glanced at each other, both of them showed resentment in their eyes; but when Ji Sulian heard the words, her face paled with fright, she immediately bit her lip and strongly objected : "Ma'am, can you... can this thing, this thing not be left in my room? I will definitely stay inside and reflect..."

Madam gave her a cold look, and said without emotion: "That's the decision. As for how to deal with it in the future, we will think about it in detail when we return home."

"No one is really worrying." The lady glanced at Ji Sulian coldly, then turned her eyes to Dongfang Yu intentionally or unintentionally.
