Madam Hou

Chapter 154

In the Jingxiang Courtyard, Yinniang and Mrs. Chen were sitting on the seats, and the people standing on each side were all strong and strong women, and there was one standing on each side of Yinniang and Mrs. Chen's seats.

Yin Niang drank tea leisurely, Da Zhong looked at the two sides and the rough envoy woman in front who was looking at them vigilantly like a door god. Li Yaoqing coughed twice, and said to Yin Niang: "Yin Niang, what do you mean? We are your uncles and aunts. You can just keep us here for a day and a night, and now you are putting on a prisoner trial. Formation, if you commit crimes like this, there are no rules!"

Yin Niang blew on the hot tea and ignored her.It wasn't until the tea was blown cold, and after taking a sip, he put down the teacup unhurriedly, and winked at the maid beside him.

The servant girl brought up a small blue and white bowl, which was still filled with thick brown soup, it was the sobering soup that Lu Qianniang brought to Lin Fengqi yesterday.

Yin Niang looked at Lu Qianniang who was standing below, and said: "Yesterday, the imperial physician found out that this bowl of hangover soup had arsenic in it, and there was a lot of it. As long as a person took a sip, he would die immediately. You are my cousin." , Since I came to the Hou Mansion, I thought I didn't treat you badly, why did you poison the Hou Ye?"

"Cousin," Sister Lu Qian hurriedly knelt on the ground, knelt forward and wanted to hug Yiniang's thigh, but was stopped by the woman in front.Sister Lu Qian couldn't care less, she hurriedly said to Yin Niang: "Cousin, you believe me, I really didn't intend to poison my cousin's husband, the stuff in it is obviously not poison..."

"It's not an aphrodisiac, what is it?"

"Yes..." It was an aphrodisiac, but she couldn't tell her cousin.

The drug she put was clearly an aphrodisiac, how could it turn into a fatal poison?

She liked her cousin's husband, and fell in love with him from the first time she saw him, but her cousin was jealous and didn't want her to be his concubine.She found many opportunities to get close to her cousin-in-law, and wanted to do good things with him first, so that her cousin had to allow her to enter the door. As a result, her cousin guarded her tightly, let alone getting close to her cousin-in-law, it was difficult for her to even see him. .

Until yesterday, Brother Yi's full moon wine.Sister Lu Qian recalled what happened yesterday, her cousin's husband was drinking with guests in the outer courtyard, while her cousin was greeting the female relatives in the inner courtyard. She felt that this was a golden opportunity, and if she succeeded, she would be able to stay by her cousin's husband's side for the rest of her life.

She pretended to be a servant and went to the outer courtyard, snatching the servant's job to deliver hangover soup to her cousin-in-law. At that time, the cousin-in-law was a little drunk and was sobering up in the banquet room.

When she lowered her head and handed the hangover soup to her cousin-in-law, he took it without any doubt. She was still proud that her wish was about to come true. After doing something good, when the time comes, she will scream again to draw everyone over. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the cousin will not refuse even if she wants to.And she is still a victim, the cousin not only has to let her in, but also has to support her.

But when he drank the hangover soup, he suddenly seemed to have discovered something, stared at her sharply, then smashed the blue and white bowl in his hand onto the table, and grabbed her with a backhand.Although she immediately said that she was Yinniang's cousin, he didn't intend to let her go at all, and the movement in the room attracted the servants who were waiting outside.

He asked the boy to go outside and bring a cat in, and served the cat the hangover soup.

She was not afraid that he would find out that there was something wrong with the hangover soup. She thought, if he found out, she would tell him immediately that she liked him, and she liked him at the first sight. As long as she could be by his side, what would she do are willing to do.

But unexpectedly, the cat drank a few sips, then suddenly lay on the ground and twitched a few times, and then died.

She was terrified, she clearly did not put poison, how could the cat die.

Afterwards, someone escorted her back to the Jingxiangyuan, where she was locked up together with her parents, brother and sister-in-law.

She didn't understand what was wrong.Bingyue gave her this idea, and Bingyue gave her a pack of medicine, and told her that it was a secret medicine obtained from a little Taoist nun, a small package, no matter how strong-willed people are, it will be useful for keeping.Bingyue is the maid next to Mrs. Da Tai, who has always been at odds with her cousin-in-law. Although she smiled and accepted the medicine she gave, she was not stupid enough to really plan to use it on her cousin-in-law.She inquired about the little Taoist nun from Bingyue, and went out to find her by herself.The nun used the medicine on a pair of cats in front of her, and the two cats rolled together immediately, inseparable.But that's all, it wasn't poisoned.

With a sudden thought in her heart, she suddenly thought of something, she quickly raised her head and said to Yin Niang: "It's Bingyue, she is trying to harm her cousin-in-law." The old medicine was replaced by a poisonous medicine.

"Cousin, you must arrest her."

Da Zhong said: "Yin Niang, your cousin said that she didn't harm Lord Hou, of course it is true, we are a family, how could you harm Lord Hou, don't misunderstand your cousin."

Master Lu, Xiao Zhong and others also echoed, and Master Lu said: "Yin Niang's niece, you must have misunderstood your cousin. Since she was young, she would cry twice even when the ant died. How could she harm others? Otherwise You have to arrest Bingyue and let her confront your cousin."

Yin Niang glanced at him, and then said: "Bingyue was killed last night because she wanted to murder Brother Yi!" Acting like a young servant, he ran to the outer courtyard to deliver some sober soup to Master Hou, and there are a bunch of servants around Master Hou, how can there be a lack of attendants?"

"I……."

"Or do you want to drug Lord Hou so that you can achieve good things with him, and then rely on him?"

Seeing that her thoughts were discovered, Lu Qian was a little panicked, but then she thought that it was she who prevented her from being a concubine for her cousin's husband all the time, which made her make such a bad plan, and she couldn't help feeling resentful.Which man is not three wives and four concubines, she can bear Aunt Liu, why can't she fulfill her cousin's wish, she said earlier that she would not compete with her for the position of the main wife.

Sister Lv Qian stood up suddenly, glared at Yinniang angrily, and said in a broken jar, "That's right, I just want to get along with Lord Hou. You clearly know that I like Lord Hou, so why stop me from coming in. You Since you are blocking me, I will naturally find other ways..."

Mrs. Chen was furious when she heard that, she stood up and slapped her with a "slap", angrily said: "You shameless girl, you can say such things, how can Yin Niang feel sorry for you, For you to eat, for you to wear, for you to live in, you are not considerate to any of you, but you still miss her man. If your wish is not fulfilled, you dare to do things like poisoning. Raising a dog is not enough. I can hear him calling out, I never thought that all of you raised are a group of white-eyed wolves..."

Seeing her daughter being beaten, Mrs. Da Zhong hurried up to protect her, and said angrily: "Why do you beat my daughter? What is wrong with what Sister Qian said. Raising a daughter will only dominate men and not take concubines, and there is no female virtue at all." , you still have the nerve to yell..."

Mrs. Chen was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. She pointed to her and said, "Okay, okay, as expected, like a mother, like a daughter." After speaking, she turned to Master Lu and said, "You ungrateful thing, my father used to treat you like that." How did I tell you that it's fine if you bullied me back then, but now you bully my daughter like this, you won't be afraid that my father will come up to you in the middle of the night to settle accounts."

Master Lu is naturally towards his wife and daughter, but Mrs. Chen is different now, and he doesn't dare to take his brother's money to teach her casually like before, but he just said nonuo: "Sister Qian also wants to help Yin Niang , Lord Hou has a high position and authority, and he will always take concubines in the future. In this case, why make it easier for outsiders, Sister Qian and Yinniang are cousins, let..."

The tea bowl in Yinniang's hand slammed heavily on the table, making a "pop", interrupting his last unspoken sentence, "It would not be better to let Sister Qian come in to help Village Yinniang".

Yin Niang said: "Uncle, I won't talk about the past, but since you came to the capital, I let your family live in the Marquis Mansion out of the love of relatives, and I thought I didn't treat you badly. Your family. My niece does not expect to be grateful from you, but you and your aunt covet the wealth and honor of the Hou family and encourage your cousin Xiao to miss my husband, and even resorted to such indecent methods as drugging, which almost caused the death of Lord Hou. Uncle, you You are using a knife to gouge out your niece's heart! My mother is a married daughter, and they say that the water splashed by a married daughter can't be controlled by you, the adoptive brother of your natal family. My niece, I have a closer relationship with you. You are far away, and you are a junior, so you can't control you. But in the world, there is always someone who can control you. We can't control you, so let someone who can control you come and let him give us justice. "Speaking, he turned and said to the servant girl next to him: "Go and ask the patriarch of the Lu clan to come over."

The servant girl bowed her knees and said yes, then went out.

Master Lu thumped in his heart. At this time, he would never think that the appearance of the patriarch would be a good thing for their family.His eyelids twitched wildly, thinking that something bad was going to happen.But before he could figure out what the patriarch would do to her in the end, he saw the maid who had just gone out leading an old man with a gray beard in, who was the patriarch of the Lu family.

The patriarch walked in with the maid with his hands behind his back, Yin Niang and Mrs. Chen stepped forward to salute him, but the patriarch dared not accept their salute, before they got down, he quickly reached out to help them up, saying repeatedly: " It's broken, it's broken!"

Patriarch Lu looked at the gorgeous and wealthy young woman in front of him, and then at the equally extraordinary Mrs. Chen next to him, he didn't know what it was like.
