concubine daughter

Chapter 8
Qingyun and Man Qing look very similar, but they don't get along with each other, because Man Qing is the daughter born by Qing's mother secretly, she has never been favored, and she lives a leisurely life. not enough.

Back at Xiangyiju, Manqing ordered Haitang to ask the second lady for Wanruo from Xuanhe Courtyard. When assigning a maidservant before, Xiangyiju was missing one maid, and now it just happened to make up for it.

Wan Ruo had just been transferred here, so she became a second-class maidservant, serving Man Qing personally.

Not long after, Hongzhi left for no reason, and there was no big deal in Yongyi's mansion. I heard that it was Hongzhi's request before he was alive, so he only sued the old Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou, and there was no trouble in the whole house after a day of mourning.

Not long after, Hongyao, the eldest young master of Xuanhe Courtyard, fell ill in bed due to arsenic poisoning. This incident alarmed Madam Hou. Thorough investigation.

A few days later, Hongzhen, the second young master of Liuxiangyuan, also fell ill in bed. It is not surprising that Hongzhen fell ill, but the cause of this sudden illness was also arsenic poisoning.

When Mrs. Hou heard about it, she was furious, and said she wanted to investigate the matter herself. Mrs. Hou was already 65 years old, so the second wife naturally didn't dare to let her work. .

Hongyao and Hongzhen are the victims, so the second wife will naturally not find out about them; the fourth young master Hongyi has been living in a school outside the city, so it is impossible for him to poison; Dare to hurt the two young masters in a row; as for the girls, it is impossible to stay out of the boudoir all the time.

As a result, the second wife suspected Hongjie. Although Hongjie was the eldest son, his biological mother died early after all. Hongyao and Hongzhen were his only competitors. He had enough motivation and time to harm them.

The second lady searched the Feijing courtyard thoroughly, but found no arsenic.

Even so, Hongjie could not escape being questioned. Knowing that he was in a dangerous situation, Hongjie immediately ordered someone to find Wanruo, only to find out that Wanruo had been accused of being a second-class maidservant in Xiangyiju.

Hong Jie didn't intend to leave witnesses, but Man Qing acted too fast and transferred Wan Ruo before he could kill the grass.

"The third brother and sister got married for the first time, and I have never been able to find time to come to condolences. Now that I have time, I will come here immediately, and I have prepared a small gift. I hope the third brother and sister will not be disgusted."

Hongjie and his attendant Yixu walk into Xiangyi Residence together, and Yixu presents two precious luminous pearls.

Man Qing immediately got up from the bed, making Yun Zhi accept Ye Mingzhu.

"I'm sorry for the trouble. The second master came to give the gift in person. I'm afraid the ulterior motives are not in the bar?" Man Qing boldly showed her literary talents. She thought a lot. If she really obeyed the general's order and became a woman without literary talents, She will probably suffocate.

There was surprise on Hongjie's face, but he quickly restrained himself, showing an open-minded smile, "The third sibling is not only born beautiful, but also a rare understanding person, I heard that the second lady gave you the maidservant of Xuanhe Court? "

"Yes, her name is Wanruo. She once delivered medicine for the second master to the third master. The medicine seems to be called Yuanzi." Man Qing looked at Hongjie with a light smile, stroked a strand of hair on her chest, and sat down leisurely. Soften down.

The corner of Hongjie's mouth curled up into an inexplicable smile. Facing Manqing's threat, he sat on the toffee chair beside him indifferently, "What is Yuanzi? I have never heard of it, so how could I ask someone to give it to me?"

Suddenly, a strange wind blew from outside the door, and the sand in the wind caused Hongjie to cough continuously.

Manqing winked at Haitang, Haitang immediately took out the arsenic, Yunzhi poured warm water into the bowl, Yaoqin added three packs of arsenic to the warm water, stirred it well and brought it to Hongjie.

"This is Yuanzi. I heard that this Yuanzi is effective in curing coughs. Er Ye, let's drink a bowl first." Man Qing smiled and looked at the little white mouse beside him, "Little baby, you cough too, come on Eat some."

Man Qing fed the arsenic to the mice, and the mice suffered from the poisoning. Man Qing covered her mouth and smiled, "Look at your happiness."

Seeing this scene, Hongjie was really startled. He thought that Man Qing would not dare to use real poison, but he didn't expect it to be the most poisonous to women's hearts.Although arsenic is a chronic poison, three sachets of it is enough to kill him, so he wouldn't be so stupid as to drink it.

"It's just a little cough, brothers and sisters don't have to worry about it." Hongjie took the arsenic and put it aside.

Man Qing stretched out her hand, looking at the palm of her hand and the back of her hand. The red nails also showed a little bit of poison, and said casually, "It's almost autumn, and there is a lot of wind and sand. I don't know if Lord Hou and Madam Hou will be affected by the sand. If you don't dare to bother me without being summoned, it's better for the second master to send some fate over on behalf of the concubine. After knowing the filial piety of the second master, Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou may express something."

"I'm a medical student, but I haven't heard of such a fetish as Yuanzi, and maybe Lord Hou has never heard of it either. The second master said, will Lord Hou order someone to investigate thoroughly? Then you will know where it came from and what it is for.”

There was a trace of cruelty in Hongjie's eyes, and he said coldly, "Qianye Manqing, don't beat around the bush, there really is no fate, it's arsenic. Tell me, what's your purpose?"

"Bastard!" The second lady couldn't help but walked out from behind the curtain, with an angry look on her face, she stepped forward quickly, and was about to hit Hongjie, but was pushed away by Hongjie.

"Presumptuous! I am the eldest son of Princess Xiaoren, how can I allow you to beat and scold me?" Hongjie's biological mother is the emperor's younger sister.

"In order to keep your position as the eldest son, you should fight each other!" The second wife did not lose her spirit and was aggressive.

Hongjie smiled coldly, and jumped up against the case, "I only said that Yuanzi is arsenic, and anyone who knows a little bit of pharmacology can recognize it, so why do you say that I am brother-in-law?"

"I..." The second lady realized that she was too reckless, she turned her head to look at Man Qing, only to see Man Qing's expression was helpless.

Hongjie immediately fought back, "Second Madam has never tolerated me, and once she was caught, she forced her hard. Believe it or not, I will sue the court and punish you for slander?"

Man Qing took a few steps forward and stood in front of Hongjie, "Second Master did not harm Uncle and Third Master. Second Master is the eldest son, and the only people who fight with Second Master are the eldest son of Ningyao Mansion and the eldest son of Yongyi Mansion. The eldest son. The concubine is sure that the second master will not fail to take action."

Sure enough, not long after, news came from Yongyi Mansion that the eldest son of Yongyi Mansion (the third young master Hong Si) was poisoned.

"Whoever poisoned Hong Si, who knows in his heart!" Hong Jie hated all over his face, staring at the second lady and Man Qing with hatred, but he was still so calm.
