Chapter 17

Of course, this question is not suitable to be asked in public.

"Over the years, your food and clothing expenses in the town government have always been higher than those in other concubines. Since you suffered from insomnia, every doctor in Beijing has invited you. As my mistress, I dare say that no one in the government is sorry for you!"

At this time, Cui Shi looked at Ruan Shi, who was already in a trance, and said, "in this case, you are still unwilling to settle down. Frankly, you are dissatisfied! An dissatisfied concubine said that she wants a child just to be with you. Dare you believe that?"

She dares to say that even if the child is born and there is an aunt like Ruan, it will never be an indisputable one in the future - even when it comes to this world, it is the calculation of its biological mother, let alone the way after!

Don't tell her that you can't be lonely with children. She wanted to teach Ruan to play horse hanging earlier. Ruan was reluctant. There are many ways to send loneliness in the world. But she chose the most vicious one!

Yes

Xu Mingyi nodded in agreement again.

The road of life is short, but Ruan still has to take a shortcut - what else can you do to meet such a person?

Live well, don't you live longer?

The elders said almost what they should say, and she herself was an acute child. Only because she had just "returned" to the age of 16, she was still a little uncomfortable, and hoped to stay with her family for a while and listen to them more, she sat here quietly for so long——

And now she's going to ask her real question.

"You said that after my father had been to Xiyuan, he made up his mind to send medicine. He said that my mother was only one in the Ming Dynasty and was worried about me." Xu Mingyi looked at Ruan and asked, "how did you get these ideas?"

She just watched Ruan's expression when she said these words without hesitation and retreat. It's not like a conclusion based on her own imagination.

"Naturally, I saw it myself!" Ruan's expression was almost crazy.

"Did you really see it yourself? Or did you look like a monster after listening to others' words with ulterior motives and Prejudice in your eyes?"

This time, before Ruan's answer, Xu Mingyi asked in a determined tone, "if I'm not wrong, the person who has been whispering with you in recent years should be the one who conspired with you this time?"

Hearing this, Ruan's eyes flickered as he approached chaos.

"What conspiracy..."

She smiled without much expression and looked up at Xu Mingyi: "do you need any conspiracy for such a small trick?"

"Peace charms are all with you. If no one is brave enough to each other, I'm afraid you can't take this step at all. Besides, small tricks also need a way -" the girl said calmly: "this sleeping grass from the western regions is strictly forbidden in the western regions, and you can't buy it casually in Beijing."

Ruan's eyes stagnated for a moment.

"Western regions?"

Xu Qiwei frowned and said, "Zhaozhao said that the poison came from the western regions?"

Xu Mingyi nodded.

"Yes, ah Kui told me."

All the people looked at ah Kui with confirmed eyes.

“……”

Within a day, ah Kui, who had been affected by such eyes too many times, clenched her trembling fingers and tried to calm her head and said, "yes."

Although she has never heard of what the sleeping grass is, what the girl says is what it is

"Western regions..."

Cui repeated these two words in a low voice, and his face gradually changed.

It seems that the biological mother of Miss Liu who lived in the house and later remarried was a businessman in the western regions!

She can think of it. Naturally, Xu Qiwei and others have thought of it one after another.

This is why Xu Mingyi suspected Liu Yi without evidence——

When she was in Yangzhou earlier, she heard doctor Qiu say that the poison came from the western regions, and subconsciously thought of Liu Yi.

Of course, there was only a trace of doubt at that time. After the Xu family had an accident, Liu Yi, who had been unwilling to marry, could not avoid being implicated. Although she saved her life because of non blood relatives, she still ended up in Exile - so she could not be investigated and verified.

"You are still stubborn and unwilling to tell your accomplice, but you still want to leave a hidden danger for the town government!"

Xu Qiwei got up and looked angry: "self righteous, but asking for trouble!"

He's not a decent housekeeper!

It's about the safety of his granddaughter. He has to find out about it today!

Hearing what the old man meant, Cui immediately called two rough envoys outside the hall to enter.

However, as soon as the voice fell, I heard a crisp "click", even Ruan's scream——

It was ah Zhu who couldn't wait but broke each other's arm expressionless.

She had waited too long and finally waited until the masters let go. Of course, she refused to leave such a good opportunity to others.

Two mothers-in-law saw this scene, after mutual view, stood behind Zhu silently.

Ruan's face was bloodless with pain and beads of sweat.

However, he held a strong breath in his heart, clenched his teeth tightly, and still didn't want to reveal a word.

At this time, ah Zhu's hand held her other arm

After gripping and slightly loosening, it will be folded but not folded——

Several breaths, in this terrible suffering, the tone in Ruan's heart, which was near the edge of collapse, finally dispersed.

"It's Liu Yi! It's her!"

... it's not that she can't hold on, but the Xu family has guessed Liu Yi. No matter how hard she talks, it's meaningless—— Ruan cried sadly and hopelessly in her heart before she fainted in pain.

At this time, a burly middle-aged man came outside the hall.

That's ah Zhu's father, Zhu Xiu.

"What you asked me to check out this afternoon has already come to fruition. The western region businessman who Qin married left the capital with Qin as early as a month ago. The western region spice shop they opened was re leased and changed into a lacquer shop ten days ago."

Xu Qiwei looked angry.

... he must have heard that the girl in his town government suffered from narcolepsy and realized Liu Yi's intention. He was afraid to be involved after being exposed, so he fled the capital!

"Bring Liu Shi for questioning immediately!"

The night was thick and muggy.

In the dark, Liu Yi held a heavy burden and was so anxious that he was wet with sweat.

She wanted to leave at night, but she found that the whole town government was abnormally guarded!

That is, several small doors that are not often opened have been replaced with new locks!

Of course, it won't work.

She steadied herself. After a moment, she trotted towards a lighted yard not far ahead.
