marriage gentleman

Chapter 60

Su Chengyu was the first to discover that Song Mei was poisoned.

Originally, Su Chengyu, Yun Zhen, and Song Mei had already agreed on the departure time tomorrow, and after breakfast in Lu Li and Qi Guang's mansion, they would leave on time at Chenshi, and it happened that they could go to Qingcheng in the evening Take a break and continue on your way the next day.

However, after Su Chengyu got up, he just remembered that he had something to discuss with Song Mei in private, so he went to the wing where Song Mei lived.

He knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered.Su Chengyu asked the maidservant, and the maidservant said that Song Mei hadn't left the wing.Su Chengyu felt surprised, knocked on the door several times, and called "Miss Song" for a long time, but still no one answered him.

Feeling uncomfortable, Su Chengyu slammed into the door, just in time to see Song Mei who was unconscious on the ground.

She was neatly dressed, as she was yesterday, apparently passed out as soon as she entered the wing last night.Su Chengyu rolled over her body, his expression changed drastically.Song Mei's lips turned purple and her face was pale.He breathed out, very weakly.

After Liu Quan heard the news, he hurried over, checked his pulse, rolled his eyelids again, and said, "Miss Song has been poisoned by obsession. Fortunately, she discovered it early. If she delays for another two or three days, she will be powerless to recover."

Yun Zhen said in surprise: "Yesterday she was fine, and she was still beating my head vigorously during dinner." His head is still aching, so how could such a lively person be poisoned just by saying that he was poisoned.

Su Chengyu also said: "Is it the method of detoxification?"

Liu Quan said with a smile: "Mr. Su, you can rest assured. This poison looks deadly at first glance, but it is easy to cure. It's just that the process is complicated and it will take some time. People who have been poisoned by the poison of the mind will turn their lips purple and fall into a coma. It will hurt the heart. The reason why it is called obsessed is not the heart of the poisoned person, but the hearts and eyes of other people."

Hearing Liu Quan's words, Lu Li's eyes darkened.

He said to Su Chengyu: "Chengyu, don't worry, Dr. Liu is highly skilled in medicine and is also quite good at detoxification. With him here, Miss Song will definitely recover. You should stay here for the next few days, and wait until Miss Song recovers." Let's go."

Su Chengyu nodded.

"That's exactly what I mean, please trouble Jingheng." After Qi Guang found out that he was pregnant, he often slept until the sun was up.After she got up, she called Zitong to fetch water and wash up.Zitong had just wrung out the soft towel and was about to hand it to Qi Guang when she heard a soft drink.

"Wait!"

It was Lu Li who came striding forward, he took the soft towel from Zitong's hand, and said, "You go out first."

As soon as Zitong left, Lu Li took out the silver needle, dipped it in the water in the copper basin, and after confirming that it was not poisoned, he handed the soft towel to Qi Guang with confidence.The corner of Qi Guang's mouth twitched, and he said, "Jiang Dezhong was not so cautious in the palace."

Unexpectedly, Lu Li looked at Qi Guang seriously.

"Have you ever thought about bringing Jiang Dezhong to Hedu? After all, Jiang Dezhong has served you for many years, and he must be more skilled than Mingqing in avoiding poisoning and assassination."

Hearing this, Qi Guang's expression became serious."What happened this morning?" she asked.

He said: "Song Mei was poisoned by someone. The poison of obsession is not fatal, but if the poison falls on you, it may hurt the fetus again. If it is more serious, it will kill two people."

Qi Guang's expression changed: "It's so good, how could it be poisoned?"

In her impression, Song Mei was a cheerful and lively girl, and she didn't seem like she would offend anyone.Suddenly, as if thinking of something, she said, "Do you suspect it was done by the same person?"

Lu Li nodded.

He said carefully: "Song Mei was fine last night, but something happened this morning. She must have known something last night, so she was poisoned. But what is certain is that this matter is not aimed at Song Mei They came here, but they came for us. Otherwise, Song Mei would not be caught by a bewilderment, but by poison."

Qi Guang said: "You mean that Song Mei knew something she shouldn't know, so she was silenced?"

"Yes."

Lu Li said: "We are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. Until the culprit is found, it will not be safe for you to stay in the mansion. I have a house on Zhongping Street in Hedu, and now there is only one old servant living in it. How about... "

Qi Guang interrupted him.

"I don't want to leave. It would be terrible if this is the enemy's tactic. I can escape from the palace, but how can a mere villain catch me? I want to see who dares to eat the leopard." Coming towards us."

Qi Guang wiped his face, and accurately threw the soft towel back into the copper basin, splashing a little water.

"I'm a magnanimous person, but... whoever dares to hurt my doll, I will definitely not let him have a good time! Just think about it!"

When Lu Li saw her expression, he knew that she wanted to show her talents here.He didn't disobey her, and said according to her words: "yes, even if you think about it. What are you going to do?"

Her expression now is similar to that in the trial of Bai Sheng's case, but the difference is that at that time she still had something in her eyes, but now she is serious.With Qi Guang as a child, his playfulness has gradually been put away.

Qi Guang smiled slightly, and said: "I have my own method, and within three days I can catch the culprit." Before she finished speaking, her stomach suddenly rang.Lu Li said with a smile: "It's a bit cold outside today, I asked Zitong to bring in the food."

With that said, Lu Li went out and gave Zitong instructions, then turned a corner and walked to the study.

He said to the boy who was pruning the flower branches: "Call Mingqing to come to the study."

After a while, Ming Qing came.I only heard Lu Li say: "Do you have an idea?"

"There are clues, and the culprit will be found out in one more day." After a pause, Ming Qing said with a smile: "With the young master's ability, I am afraid that the culprit will be discovered within the same day."

Lu Li's fingers were wet and he wrote a word on the table.

Ming Qing suddenly said: "I guess it's him too!"

He was puzzled and said: "Since the young master already knows the culprit, why..."

Lu Li said: "Madam wants to find out the culprit, so you will stay by her side and follow her orders. Hedu is still not as good as the capital. If she stays in the mansion for a few more days, I'm afraid she will be bored to death."

As if thinking of something, he frowned slightly, and said again: "There is another person, you should also send a few people to watch, and immediately catch him if there is any movement that is not good for Madam. You only need to keep two things in mind about this matter, one Put your wife's body first, and take care of your wife's interest."

"I understand."

Although Qi Guang didn't treat him as cold and indifferent as when he first met, but if he wanted to return to the past, he still had to remind Qi Guang of the happy days of the two of them in the past, that is, after the Bai Sheng case, Qi Guang Started to treat him differently.

He was still thinking about how to work harder to win back Qi Guang's affection, but now someone just came to his door.

but……

Lu Li fell into deep thought.

He can be sure that these two incidents are aimed at him, but... He always feels that there is something wrong.As for what's wrong, Lu Li hasn't figured it out yet.Qi Guang acted vigorously and resolutely.

She first called Liu Quan and asked about Song Mei's condition.Then he asked Ming Qing to call all the servants and maidservants in the mansion to gather in the hall.Qi Guang looked at all the servants in the hall one by one, and then asked everyone about their backgrounds one by one.

In the end, Qi Guang asked Mingqing to bring everyone's contracts of sale.

Qi Guangcai said arrogantly: "As long as anyone takes the initiative to stand up and reveal the culprit of the poisoning, I will burn this contract of prostitution, and I will also give him 100 taels of silver for retirement."

There was an uproar at the scene.

100 taels of silver!Even if they don't eat or drink for ten years, they may not be able to earn so much!
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, with extremely shocked expressions.

Not only the servants were shocked, even Ming Qing was also shocked.I didn't expect Madam's method to be so rough and simple!
Lu Li, who had been sitting next to Qi Guang without saying a word, showed a smile at this moment. If it was Qi Guang, she usually didn't like to use her brain for things that could be solved with money. 100 taels of silver, as long as the servants save a little, they will be able to live comfortably in this life.As long as one of them has witnessed the truth, he will definitely speak out.

Qi Guang said: "Be quiet!"

She took a stack of deeds of sale, patted the table, and said, "Whoever knows, stand up!"

The servants below had different expressions, but most of them were depressed.

There used to be 100 taels of silver in front of their eyes, but they didn't cherish it!As long as you don't sleep and stare at the black dog or at Miss Song's door two days ago, you will definitely know!

Judging from their expressions, Qi Guang could tell that they were ignorant.

She put away the deed of sale, and sighed in a playful tone: "If you want to send money, you can't give it, that's all." She changed the question again and asked: "Who entered Song Mei's wing last night."

A servant girl raised her hand tremblingly.

"The servant once took Miss Song into the wing room."

Qi Guang showed an impatient look, she yawned, and said, "Okay, the culprit is you. Ming Qing, lock her in the woodshed first. Send her to the government after a few days when the weather is warmer."

The servant girl was shocked.

"Madam! Madam! The servant did not poison Miss Song! The servant is innocent. The servant..."

Qi Guang interrupted impatiently: "Since only one person entered the wing, who else could be the culprit besides you. Don't argue, it's you."

The servant girl cried until the pear blossoms were raining, and the crying became farther and farther away.

Qi Guang smiled and said: "Okay, the culprit has been found out, and it's time for lunch."

It was the first time Mingqing saw such a barbaric way of judging, and she didn't know what to say for a while.Lu Li shook his head at him, Ming Qing recalled the two points that Lu Li said before, and he immediately came back to his senses, and said, "Ma'am, lunch has been prepared, and it's in the side hall."
