019 Soup problem

Shen Qingru chatted merrily with the ladies and could not help but drink a few cups of fruit wine. The fruit wine was made from green plum and other fresh fruits. It was sour, sweet and extremely popular among the girls.

"Eldest Miss, on the orders of the madame, I have specially served the various young misses with an sobering wine soup." A cute girl with a round face and a pair of bun on her head had suddenly stood up and was holding a tray with a smile on her face.

Was it one of Grandmother's men?

The other little girls all placed the soup on the table in front of the noble ladies. The clever servant girl placed the jade bowl on Shen Qingru's table and smiled as she advised: "Young miss should use it when it's hot, this soup doesn't feel good."

Shen Qingru nodded slightly. Since it was given to her by her grandmother, she should receive her grandmother's good intentions.

Just as he was about to drink the bowl of soup, Shen Qingru saw the clever servant girl staring at him with a nervous expression.

There was something wrong with this soup!

Shen Qingru forced herself to clear her head, she glanced at the servant, she looked a little unfamiliar, as though she had never seen this servant from her grandmother's place before. If Grandmother had ordered that the soup be brought over, she would have definitely sent the mandarin duck and a few other capable maidservants by her side. Why would she send such an unfamiliar maidservant?

Shen Qingru slowly put down the jade bowl in her hand and observed the clever servant girl's expression without revealing any emotions. As expected, her face was stiff, and her expression extremely unnatural. Shen Qingru suddenly laughed: "I wonder how I should address this elder sister? When did you come to work for Grandmother? "

The maidservant forced out a smile, and said, "This servant Chu Qiao just came to the madame's place half a month ago."

"So it's big sister Chu Qiao." Shen Qingru acted as if she understood, and chatted with Chu Qiao for a while. There was something wrong with Chu Qiao's heart, and seeing that Shen Qingru's gaze was constantly looking at him, she could not help but lower her head in guilt, and speak of 'yes'. Shen Qingru and Chu Qiao chatted for a while, while taking advantage of the unprepared situation, she took out the jade bowl and used her large sleeves to cover the majority of it falling into the washbowl by her feet.

"It tastes so bad," Shen Qingru stuck out her tongue, acting as if she had just drunk the Sobbing Wine. When Chu Qiao saw that she had finished drinking the Awakening Wine Soup, the boulder in her heart was lowered. Smiling, she replied: "Although the taste is not too good, the effect is good."

The effect of this medicine is very good, young miss, you will know soon enough. Chu Qiao secretly laughed.

Indeed, in half an incense's time, Shen Qingru was lying on the table, with a sleepy look on her face. Seeing that, Chu Qiao acted anxious, pretended to be concerned: "What happened to young miss?"

What's wrong? Isn't it all because of you and your master?

Shen Qingru sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she looked drowsy: "I don't know why, but I feel so dizzy. I really want to sleep for a while."

"Why don't you let me send Eldest Miss back to her room to rest for a while?" Chu Qiao was extremely attentive to her.

I want to see what tricks you and your master have up their sleeves. Shen Qingru secretly clenched his fists, and with a helpless look on his face, he informed the noble ladies of his sin.

"Sisters, Qing Ru's body is not feeling good, so she will be leaving first.

There was no harm in speaking the words of laughter of the noble women, and there were even Murong Qingyun and a few others who went forward to greet him, which Shen Qingru thanked one by one, and laughed it off as nothing major.

Chu Qiao supported Shen Qingru up with a flattering look on her face, and slowly walked outside.

Shen Qingru pretended to be unconscious as she leaned on Chu Qiao and secretly observed her movements. Sure enough, after leaving the hall, she did not walk in the direction of her own residence. Instead, she passed through a small alley and headed towards the rear flower garden.

"Chu Qiao, are you ready?" A well-dressed middle-aged woman asked as she walked up worriedly to see if Shen Qingru was awake.

Chu Qiao laughed: "You are too careful, the dosage of this medicine is doubled, even a strong man would die from sleep, not to mention a young lady like you."

The middle-aged woman nodded. "I'll go and tell him that Lai Wang's son is waiting outside. Eldest Miss will let him in after she gets out of the water."

Shen Qingru had already recognized that the middle-aged woman was Qin's's concubine, Zhang Rui. After hearing her words, she had already guessed eighty to ninety percent of Qin's's schemes.

Qin's wanted someone to push her into the water, so that her son, who had nothing to do with anything, could go down and save her. When she arrived, she was in the water, so naturally her clothes were in disarray. If she was carried ashore by such a servant or servant, would she have a good reputation?

Today, there must be many noble ladies admiring the flowers in the back garden. In the eyes of these people, with their word of mouth, her reputation as the young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate would soon spread throughout the capital.

Qin's had a good plan indeed!

Chu Qiao swiftly dragged Shen Qingru towards the edge of the Lotus Pond, and Shen Qingru's entire person slanted onto her body. Caught off guard, Chu Qiao and the two fell together.

Without waiting for Chu Qiao to stand up, a bright knife was pressed against her neck, Shen Qingru looked at her with burning eyes, she was wide awake, and was not drunk at all.

Shen Qingru did not waste any words with her: "What does Qin's want you to do?"

After Chu Qiao heard this, she knew that Qin's's plans had been exposed. She would not sell out even if he had the guts to do so, "I don't understand what Eldest Miss said. What does Eldest Miss mean by this? "

"Nothing." Shen Qingru laughed lightly: "You risked so many things to harm me for Qin's, I guess Qin must have lost many of your benefits.

She had expected Shen Qingru to be a little girl, so she naturally did not dare to commit such a murder in public. It was just to scare her, so she became more bold. [Does young miss dare to kill someone in broad daylight?]

"I don't dare to kill people." Shen Qingru's smile became even wider: "But it's really easy to slash your little face a few times."

She placed the silver blade on Chu Qiao's face for comparison, the cold silver blade sticking to Chu Qiao's face, Shen Qingru leisurely changed his posture: It's just a disfigurement, it won't affect you receiving the rewards in front of Madam. He slowly exerted strength into his fingers.

Chu Qiao could not help but exclaim in shock, "Madame will not let you go!"

"Before she lets me go, I definitely won't let you go."

"Eldest Miss, please spare my life, I was forced to. I had a younger brother who was sick a few days ago, and the doctor said that I must use precious medicinal ingredients to cure him. This servant went to beg Madam, who said that as long as the eldest young mistress was pushed into the water today, the best doctors would be sent to treat my younger brother's illness with the best medicines. If not for that, I am not willing to do such a malicious thing! "Chu Qiao cried.
