Chapter 56
Xiao Zhongheng laughed, "Why, Tuantuan also wants to drink soup?" As he said that, he took another spoon to scoop up soup and wanted to feed it, but Tuantuan turned his head away again.

The bad feeling in Zhuyun's heart became more and more intense, and she couldn't help leaning over to Xiao Ruan's ear.

Xiao Ruan's complexion changed suddenly, he snatched the spoon that Xiao Zhongheng was about to bring to his mouth with his hands, the soup splashed all over Xiao Zhongheng's body, he jumped and dodged vigilantly.

Xiao Zhongheng still maintained the appearance of hugging Tuantuan, with doubts on his face.

"Zhuyun, try catching an animal."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xiao Zhongheng looked at Xiao Ruan in surprise, "Ruan Ruan, what are you?"

"I don't know beforehand." Xiao Ruan squeezed the spoon in his hand, his eyes were a little blank, but he remembered another thing.

At this time in the previous life, the eldest brother was also preparing for Qiu Wei. Although she cared about her brother's official career at that time, she was not as concerned as she is now. So later I heard that my brother seemed to have taken a girl as a concubine during this period.

Although this is not a big deal, the eldest brother Qiu Wei was not ideal later, and this has become a place for others to ridicule. Of course, the situation will develop to this point, and there must be someone behind the scenes to fuel the flames.

Thinking like this, Xiao Ruan's heart tightened, she grabbed Xiao Zhongheng's arm, "Brother, now is the critical moment for you to study, you'd better pay more attention."

Xiao Zhongheng laughed, patted her hand and said: "Okay, okay, listen to my sister." In fact, he felt that Xiao Ruan was making a fuss out of a molehill, but his sister cared about him, so he also felt warm.

"Miss, miss, that dog..." At this moment, Zhuyun came back with a clearly hesitant expression on his face, as if hesitating to speak.

"Say!" Xiao Ruan said sharply.

Xiao Zhongheng, who was originally indifferent, also corrected his color.

Zhuyun didn't delay any longer, "Miss, someone has given a strong drug to enhance the excitement."

"What!?" Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng said in unison.

One was annoyed that in two lifetimes someone had used such an infamous method to trick her brother, and in this life she planned to use her hands to carry it out; It was very disgusting.

Zhuyun was also extremely shocked by this, not to mention that she saw with her own eyes the dog that tested the medicine go crazy.

At this time, I naturally expressed my guesses fully, "Today, when the slaves went to the big kitchen to get soup, Mrs. Liu was not in the kitchen because of something, and only two maids were included. Question. The slaves didn't pay attention at the time, but just now they suddenly saw the two maids appearing in the small bamboo forest outside the master's study, so they became suspicious. But if it wasn't for Tuantuan, I'm afraid..."

The two of them naturally knew Zhu Yun's unfinished words, and their faces were very ugly.

Xiao Zhongheng even said to the boy outside the door, "Xu Gui, come in."

On the one hand, he asked Zhuyun, "If I let you see those two maids, do you still remember what they looked like?"

"Remember." Zhuyun said without thinking.

"Very good, you follow Xu Gui to tie up those two maids." Xiao Zhongheng never thought that someone in his room would be so bold as to drug him.

If it is not found out today, and he was recruited again, at most he will beat him up afterwards, and then raise the person's position. Although this kind of thing is annoying, it is still a romantic affair for a man.

But he just let him know in advance, and took advantage of his sister's concern for him in front of his sister. How could he not be angry, how could he not feel that his masculine dignity was provoked.

Naturally, Xiao Ruan didn't know what her brother was thinking. Her thoughts had already turned to Mrs. Pei at this moment. If it wasn't for Mrs. Pei's inaction, her brother's room wouldn't be so chaotic, "Brother, leave this matter to Ruan Er Well, after all, it was me who caused it."

"No need, let's go brother, it seems that these servants are too unaware of their identity." Xiao Zhongheng said with a cold face.

Xiao Ruan disagreed, "My sister thinks that my brother's top priority should be to let my sister-in-law pay attention to this matter. After all, my sister-in-law should take care of the backyard."

Xiao Zhongheng was taken aback by what Xiao Ruan said, knowing that what Xiao Ruan said was right, but... thinking of the cold war between the two during this time.

Forget it, she is his wife after all, Xiao Zhongheng waved his sleeves, "I'll leave this to my sister, I'll go to your sister-in-law's."

Xiao Ruan naturally complied, and after Xiao Zhongheng left, she hugged Tuan Tuan who had been lying on the window sill and dozed off, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit in the chair behind the desk, smoothing Tuan Tuan's hair with one hand, and propping his forehead with the other to think.

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Since Xiao Zhongheng returned to Xiao's mansion, his work and rest have been very regular, and he spends more time in the study room than in the bedroom.Maybe it's because it makes some people's minds less stable.

After a while, Zhuyun and Xu Gui came in with two servant girls.

Xiao Ruan's anger surged up.

"Kneel down!" she yelled.

The two servant girls, who were still dazed and unsure, suddenly knelt down with a plop.

Xiao Ruan calmed down her anger, looked at the two servant girls intently, "raise your head."

The two servant girls raised their heads according to the order, one with a round face and the other with an oval face.The one with the round face looked as usual without any waves, but the one with the oval face had erratic eyes, seeming a little worried.

"What's their names?"

"Slave, slave girl's name is Qinglian." The oval-faced servant girl said timidly.

On the contrary, it was the round-faced servant girl who was calm beyond Xiao Ruan's expectations, "The servant's name is Qinghe, which was bestowed by the master years ago."

Xiao Ruan nodded, saying that it was given by the master, but it was just an excuse of Gu's.If she was in her previous life, she might have hesitated when she heard about the master.But in this life, huh, do you think she doesn't know these tricks?
Xiao Ruan tapped the table with her fingers, seemingly carelessly, but inside she hated Gu, "Tell me, where did you get the medicine?"

Qinglian seemed to be shallow-minded, and her face immediately turned pale, "Miss, miss, this servant doesn't know anything!"

Xiao Ruan looked at Qing He, "What about you?"

"The maidservant doesn't know what medicine the lady is talking about?"

That's a clever one, that Qinglian looks delicate and pretty, but it's a loophole when she speaks, and she doesn't know what it is?What do you know to be sure you know nothing?
Xiao Ruan hooked the corner of her mouth and looked at Qinglian, and asked urgently, "Then what do you know? Do you know why you went to the big kitchen at noon? Or do you know why you stayed in the bamboo forest outside the young master's study?"

"I, I..." Qinglian obviously didn't expect Xiao Ruan to be so strong, at this moment, she faltered, with cold sweat breaking out bit by bit.

The round-faced maid seemed unable to see it, and chimed in, "Miss..."

"Is it your turn to speak?" Xiao Ruan looked over with cold eyes, and his voice gradually raised, "What do you think you are? Given by the master? When you come to this Yixuan building, you are a young lady, and you still think you are here master?"

The round-faced servant girl's original calm suddenly lost her composure, and her face turned red and then pale, as if she didn't expect to be said so.

Xiao Ruan didn't understand what this girl was thinking, but just seeing He's performance, she understood that this was the mind of a girl with high self-esteem—the girl's life master.It is indeed a bit scheming, judging from the fact that she was able to take advantage of this opportunity to be promoted as a concubine in her previous life, and she has not yet made Xiao Zhongheng angry, it can be seen that she has a means.

That's right, the moment Xiao Ruan saw these two people, she knew that the one with the round face named Qing He was the one whom her elder brother proposed as a concubine in her previous life.

The two of them, Qing He and Qing Lian, administered the medicine together, but it was Qing He who succeeded, but the last drop of water called Qing Lian didn't splash out.

It's strange that there is no trick here.

Xiao Ruan turned her gaze to Qinglian again, "Why, have you thought it through?"

Because of Xiao Ruan's anger just now, Qinglian's body trembled and shrank violently, and she no longer dared to hide anything, "Miss, please forgive me, it's my slave who is confused. Qing He gave me the medicine, and Qing He and her slave Said, Miss, the food that you bring every day, the young master will use it. As long as you put the medicine in it, it must, must..."

"It's inevitable that the young master will be recruited, and then he will favor you, isn't it?" Xiao Ruan added for her, but her eyes fell on Qing He who suddenly looked pale.

Qinglian nodded hurriedly, and Xiao Ruan sneered, "Do you think that if you put the medicine in the food I give every day, I won't pursue it afterwards? Or do you think that you were raised as a concubine because of this, and everything before Can I write it off?"

Qinglian obviously didn't think about this, and she didn't speak, but Qinghe calmed down at this time, and even a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Ruan found it interesting, there is no shortage of people with lofty hearts in this world.Thinking of this, she became interested, pointed at Qinghe, and said to Qinglian, "This opportunity is only once, you and Qinghe, have you decided who will serve the young master?"

Qinglian's complexion suddenly turned ugly, and she faltered and couldn't speak.

"Isn't this a deal yet?" Xiao Ruan tilted his head and said in a funny way, "This opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come again—"

"Of course it's me." Qing He, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly spoke, but what she said shocked everyone, "Master, please point me to a clear path."

This time Xiao Ruan didn't reprimand her, instead he looked at Qing He in a good mood, she was indeed a smart one, and it's rare that she is one who knows current affairs.

She looked at Qinglian, who had red eyes and disbelief, looking at Qinghe with a look of "how could you do this, how could you deceive me".Xiao Ruan absolutely believed that if she hadn't been here, Qinglian would have jumped at Qinghe.

On the contrary, Qing He was very calm.

Comparing the two, it is clear at a glance which is better.

Xiao Ruan didn't answer immediately, she looked at Zhu Yun, "Let's go find Ren Yazi."

Qing Lian's face immediately turned ashen, and she stopped looking at Qing He;

Xiao Ruan turned her head to Xu Gui and said, "Take Qinglian down first."

Qing He raised her head to look at Xiao Ruan, then kowtowed to the ground again, "Master."

"He knows the current affairs." Xiao Ruan gave Tuan Tuan a pat on his hair, and said again, "But you are not afraid that I will send you to the master to serve?"
