"When Chu Qinghuan woke up, she was at Grand Princess Palace, so Bi Tao immediately came to serve him." Princess, at least you are awake, Princess has come to see him a few times, and said that when he woke up, I would like to invite you to have a taste of the honey he made. "
Chu Qinghuan shook her head as she felt the effects of the hangover. She received the warm mask from Peaches and said, "I guess I'll have to worry about that."
"I would really like for you to come and disturb me, but you are a busy person, so busy that you rarely leave your residence." "If you don't wake up, I will throw a bucket of cold water on you. Let's see if you dare to drink that much wine again, brat."
It seemed that Ji Fengye had already arranged everything. Chu Qinghuan could not help but laugh and say, "Qinghuan is not afraid, she is just afraid that Grand Princess will pity this blanket, wouldn't it be a waste?"
Hearing these mischievous words, the Grand Princess couldn't help but laugh. He reached out his hand to pinch Chu Qinghuan's cheek and said: "You sure are stubborn. Come and have a taste of my cooking skills. After eating, go home quickly."
The broth in the porcelain bowl had the fragrance of lotus leaves, and also the taste of millet. Chu Qinghuan took a deep breath, after drinking so much last night, she was extremely hungry, but she did not forget to tease Grand Princess, "Just now, the princess thought that I could not accompany you any longer, and now that he is forcing me to leave, Qing Huan is no longer human."
The Grand Princess was amused, "Look at his mouth, it really makes no sense."
Chu Qinghuan laughed, if she could make the Grand Princess laugh, then even if she had the ability to talk, it would be nothing.
It was already close to noon by the time he returned to the manor, yet the servant girl in the backyard was in a hurry.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Pulling on a little servant girl, Chu Qinghuan asked.
The little maidservant's hand held Xiao Jin, who was naked, and said happily, "Second Miss, don't you know? Second Wife has caught the culprits who want to poison Bai Niang. At this time, he invited Prime Minister and Madam over, saying that he wanted to clarify the matter. "
Chu Qinghuan relaxed her eyebrows, it seemed like the Madame Chang did not hold back, either.
"What are you panicking for? Bring me along to take a look."
Normally, she would not see the mistress. Today, not only did she receive the Second Miss's bestowment, she was even able to lead the way for the Second Miss. This was such a great fortune.
"No wonder all the big sisters said that being able to go to the Zilan Academy is a great fortune. Second Miss, you are so nice."
Looking at the innocent little servant girl, Chu Qinghuan felt that her smile was bitter. It was truly like the ignorant fearless, if not for the kindness of Huangfu Shu who saved his life, he would have given his consent. Taking a little favor from Chu Jinxiu and tolerating it again and again? She had never known that she had fallen into their trap and had lost herself long ago.
The Qiu Yi Garden was bustling with noise and excitement. Old Mistress did not appear, but only sat in the main seat with Chu Siyuan.
Bai Ling walked out slowly with the support of Madame Chang's trusted aide, Mother Yue. Chu Siyuan could not help but frown, and upon seeing that Madame Song did not speak, her expression became even more unsightly.
Madame Chang could not help but ask: "Your body is weak, why did you come out?"
Bai Ling laughed weakly, but kneeled down and said: "Thank you for your concern Second Wife, this lowly concubine's death is not worthy of lament. But since I'm not dead, I must find out the truth to see who exactly wants to kill me."
With a weak appearance and impassioned words, Chu Siyuan couldn't help but frown. He only looked at Bai Ling with a bit of pity in his eyes, "Sit down."
Inside, Concubine Chen and the Concubine Chen were both sitting there. Seeing Bai Ling walk over, Concubine Liu had a smile on her face, "Sister Bai, hurry up and sit down, don't get tired."
The Concubine Chen and the Concubine Liu had their own seats, so it was obvious that the Concubine Liu was trying to pull Bai Ling over to her side. However, Bai Ling seemed to be unable to move and sat beside the Concubine Chen.
"Thank you sister Liu for your concern, but if I can't find the person who did that, how could I collapse?"
Concubine Liu smiled with slight awkwardness. She lowered her head and rubbed her stomach, but Concubine Chen felt that Bai Ling's gaze seemed to have landed on him, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
It was as if he had seen through him!
But how was that possible? Clearly … Glancing at Xin Mei who was standing behind him, the Concubine Chen calmed down. Luckily, Xin Mei did not take her away like the Second Wife, but instead, Qiao'er who was in the courtyard of the Concubine Liu did not appear at all.
The Concubine Chen had a variety of thoughts in her head, but she did not notice any of the gazes landing on him.
When the Madame Chang saw that almost everyone was present, she said calmly: "Yesterday, someone poisoned Bai Niang at Qiuyi Garden. Fortunately, all the ancestors of the Chu Family took care of him, so she escaped with her life intact."
The matter had already stirred in the backyard, but after hearing Madame Chang's words, the servant girl couldn't help but whisper, as more eyes fell on Bai Ling.
"Who would harm Bai Niang?"
"That's right, Bai Niang is only a bit prettier, she's not even pregnant, what good is there to harm her …"
"How pitiful. The child lost her life, and almost lost it as well. Sigh, this aunt isn't that easy to be."
As Chu Qinghuan stood amongst the servant girls, the corners of her lips couldn't help but twitch when she heard their discussion. Madame Chang really knew how to speak, but just a few sentences was sufficient to allow Bai Ling to stand at the advantage as a victim.
It also allowed the person behind the scenes … Turning back would be the end of the line. It seemed that Chu Wenlian's injuries were not for nothing. A gentle cat could turn into a tiger if angered.
Furthermore, it was a sharp-tongued tiger. One bite of its beak was a pile of flesh and blood.
"We have found the person who poisoned him. Go and bring Bai He back."
"Second Wife, is the poisoner really Bai He?" Bai Ling stood there in a daze as his entire body shivered, as though he could not believe what he had heard.
"Could there be a mistake? Bai He, Bai He is my good sister!"
Seeing Bai Ling who was on the verge of crying, Madame Chang said patiently: "We found the poison in Bai He's house. Everyone else in Autumn Yi Garden are innocent. Only she is suspected."
"But you also said it Second Wife, Bai He is just a suspect, maybe, maybe someone intentionally framed her, she treats me so well, why, how could she poison me?"
Bai Ling still could not believe it, if Mother Yue had not bitterly stopped him, she would have knelt on the ground and begged Chu Siyuan to investigate this matter again. The servant girls who were standing in the courtyard were discussing amongst themselves. Seeing that Bai He was brought up, they couldn't help but hold their breaths, wanting to hear what she had to say.
When Bai Ling saw Bai He's haggard appearance, she suddenly became excited. She actually managed to struggle free of Mother Yue and rushed in front of Bai He in an instant. "Bai He, tell me, it definitely wasn't you, was it? They must have misunderstood. How could you poison them? "
Suddenly meeting Bai Ling's eyes, Bai He had a moment of hesitation, but immediately after, tears flowed out, "It really wasn't me! Aunt, you have to believe me, I didn't do anything!"
The master did not believe it, the maidservants did not recognize it, and the situation seemed to fall into a deadlock for a moment. Everyone was looking at the Madame Chang, after all, she was the one who swore that she had found out the truth.
"Sister-in-law, is this the truth?" The Madame Song laughed sarcastically. Although she was angry that Bai Ling did not die, she could not do anything about it. She just wanted to make the Madame Chang lose face.
Chu Siyuan glanced at Madame Song, as if he was angry that she didn't want to give him face.
"Father, Mother, Aunt has already said it, so she is naturally confident. I hope Aunt won't keep us in suspense."
Chu Jinxiu opened her mouth to speak, but in reality, she was mocking the Madame Chang. She obviously couldn't find anything, yet she was intentionally hiding her incompetence.
Chu Yunxi knew that his mother had investigated and that she had rested for almost the entire night. Hearing Chu Jinxiu's words, she could not help but reveal an angry look, but was stopped.
"Second Elder Sister?"
Chu Qinghuan laughed, "Calm down." Now, no matter how full her words were, she would slap herself in the face when she turned around. Unfortunately, Chu Jinxiu still didn't know that the situation had long been out of her control.
"It can't be called suspense, it's just that although the master and servant of the Bai Niang have deep feelings for each other is a good thing, but in the end, you still don't know what's good for you."
Bai Ling had already been pulled up by Mother Yue, and upon hearing what she said, she glared at her: "Second Wife, what is the meaning of this?"
Bai He, who was kneeling on the ground, continued to cry, and his expression became even more haggard.
"Bai He, let me ask you, what is the purpose of the arsenic in your room?"
Bai He panicked when he heard it, "That, that is used to poison rats, there are a lot of rats in the courtyard recently."
Hearing that, Madame Chang smiled, and extended her hand to summon the other wife, "Really? "Old Lady Xu, you're in charge of all this trash at Autumn Garden. Have you felt that there have been a lot of mice recently?"
Old Lady Xu replied respectfully, "In reply to Prime Minister, Madam and the Second Wife, there have always been more rats in the backyard. When has there ever been any rats in the middle of winter? This servant has always been in charge of the sundries in Autumn Garden, and has not seen a single mouse in the past two months. "
Bai He's face paled as he tried to defend himself, "I bought that arsenic a while back to prevent any more ruckus."
You are the most capable maid beside Bai Niang, and even if you want to care about such a small matter, you have to do it for nothing. It's just that arsenic has never been allowed in the backyard, so where did you get it from?
"Fuer, what are you helping out for!" Seeing that Chu Jinfu was actually helping the Madame Chang, the Madame Song could not help but berate him angrily.
Chu Jinfu laughed in disdain, but did not even glance at Madame Song.
Bai He was immediately stumped and stuttered: "I, I …"
Madame Chang kept pressing on, "Who gave you this arsenic? Why did the arsenic from the drug mouse suddenly get into the Bai Niang's tofu soup? "
"How is this possible? I was clearly using aconite, how could it be soft …" Realizing that he made a mistake, Bai He felt as if she was struck by lightning. Seated at the side, Bai Ling's face turned even paler, and lost all color.
"Bai He, you …" Yet he was already sobbing silently.
But Madame Chang did not let it go, "Really? "Then who gave you this black head?"
"Didn't you say it was arsenic? Why did it suddenly turn into a blackhead? " Chu Changxi could not help but mutter to herself, as she did not see the panic on Concubine Chen's face, but Concubine Liu's expression changed.
"This is the bewitching array set up by Aunt. Looking at Bai He's appearance, he was probably being held for a day, but no one questioned her. Bai He thought that she had escaped calamity, and since Bai Niang trusted her so much, she decided not to admit it. However, when her aunt told her about the arsenic, Bai He felt even more relieved, and felt that she should just go through with it. After all, she didn't use arsenic, but when her aunt suddenly said that she had poisoned Bai Niang with arsenic, Bai He couldn't react in time and told her the truth. Last time, when Young Master Yun was checking his pulse, he said that Bai Niang was indeed poisoned by aconite. "
Chu Qinghuan said confidently, while the Madame Chang at the side nodded: "That's right, Second Miss is not lying. I was worried that someone would use our reputation as Chu Family as an excuse to say something, so I did not torture Bai He, but now that she has revealed it herself, it is naturally for the best."
Bai He didn't think that he would actually jump into the Second Wife's pit. He became nervous and looked towards Bai Ling, "Aunt, Aunt, save me, please answer …"
"Prime Minister, hearing his say something so despicable like this, a servant girl who had plotted against her master, why didn't she drag her down and beat her to death?"
Madame Song hurriedly said. However, none of the servants standing in the garden moved. Seeing that, Madame Song's face changed, and when Bai He heard this, she immediately fainted.
"Mother's words are too wrong."
