Chapter 254: Aconitum

Chapter 254 Aconitum

Xie Zhiwei closed the box and handed it to Zi Mo, "Go back and check it out, write down the accounts, and find a place to hide them so that you don't lose them."

"Girl, there are...so much, the servant is thinking, how about saving it in the bank?" Zi Mo's hands holding the box were trembling.

"It's okay, you count the number, go and call the chief treasurer of Yong'an Bank, and count the bank notes with him face to face."

"Yes!" Zi Mo searched everywhere to see where it would be suitable to hide this box, but in the end he had no choice but to stuff it into Du Yuan's arms, "Hold it, look at this box tonight, don't lose it. "

Du Yuan stared, glanced at Zi Mo, and muttered, "Sister Zi Mo, don't you know how to lock the lock? There are so many, and there are no counts. I just take two, and you don't know." !"

"That's right, I was confused!" As she said, she found a Luban lock and locked the box before giving it to Du Yuan. I touched it. Thieves often come to the house in the middle of the night.”

"No way, why didn't Du Yuan and I know there was a thief coming in?" Du Jun was taken aback. She checked around and saw the century-old crabapple tree in the backyard. She stuck her head out the window and looked at the tree, " Could this thief be hiding on a crabapple tree? Miss, can this tree be chopped down?"

Xie Zhiwei rubbed the center of his brows, only to feel his head hurting, "This tree is a hundred years old, what do you think?"

"That can't be cut, what a pity!"

"The thief won't be able to come for a while. Let me tell you, Du Yuan and Du Jun, you two should be smarter in the future, don't let the thief come again. You don't know." Zi Mo looked at Xie Zhiwei resentfully. glance.

Xie Zhiwei had no choice but to sigh inwardly, knowing that it was the night she went to Peony Tower, which frightened the girl, she coughed lightly, "Zi Mo, you go to Hengjie tomorrow and see what's going on with Zhao Ammonium. Don't want help."

Zi Mo always felt that there was a conspiracy in the girl's arrangement, but she had no evidence, so she stared at Xie Zhiwei with a pair of round eyes, always wanting to see something from the girl's face?

"What's the matter? Did you see me, your girl?" Xie Zhiwei pinched her chin with two fingers, "It's a pity that I don't like your daughter's family. Alas, the girl's family is old and can keep people. If you can't keep your heart, this is the so-called female college failure!"

"What's the matter? What's the matter? Girl, tell me quickly, does Sister Zimo have a sweetheart?" Du Yuan was amused when she heard it. She is a child of the world, and she never knows what it means to be petty, so she can say whatever she wants. That said, Zi Mo was ashamed to the point of embarrassment.

"Miss, why bother to make the servant happy?" Zi Mo was so wronged that tears came out.

Xie Zhiwei saw that it was bad, so he quickly winked at Du Yuan, and hurried over to comfort him, "Good Zimo, I really didn't mean that, Du Yuan is all to blame if you want to blame her, when do you think she will be able to get away from her outspokenness?" Change it, otherwise, let her go out tomorrow and buy Tao Li Ji's peach cakes to make amends for you, okay?"

Du Yuan hurried over and bowed, "Sister Zimo, don't argue with me. Who doesn't know that Du Yun and I can't learn the rules? But, sister Zimo, you are not young, even if you have someone you like, it doesn't matter. ..."

Seeing that Zi Mo was about to change his face again, Xie Zhiwei stepped on Du Yuan's foot, and Du Yuan hugged his feet and jumped up, looking like a monkey.

Zi Mo let out a snort, laughed out loud with red eyes, twisted her body, and left the door saying "I don't want to talk to you anymore".

Xie Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that she was almost exhausted after a long day. She yawned and ordered someone to prepare hot soup. When she was taking a bath, she fell asleep in the wooden bucket. Hugged to bed.

The next day, the eighth day of December, was a big day for the Xie family.

Located in the west, in front of the Qingzhuyuan, the Xie Family Ancestral Hall was opened. There were sixteen nanmu chairs on the left and right under the main hall, where the elders of the Xie family were sitting, as well as people from the Cui family, the Hai family and the Lu family who were invited to watch the ceremony. .

Now only Lu Qiling is left in the direct descendants of the Lu family. He was too young to sit with a group of elders, so he had to sit on the last chair on the right, with only half of his butt.

The Xie family's nephews, headed by Xie Yuanbai, all stood outside the door.

There is no saying in the Xie family that women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, so Xie Zhiwei and other female relatives stood in the courtyard with Yuan.

"Xie Tiao, why did you invite us here today?" an elder of the Xie family asked.

He was wearing a blue straight gown without any embroidery patterns, a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, and a bun on his head. He had gray beard and hair, and a very neatly groomed beard. He spoke slowly and seemed unremarkable, but his temperament could not be ignored. His first-hand running script is superb, and he is known as the sage of contemporary calligraphy.

This person, Xie Mu, is Xie Tiao's cousin. Among these people, he is the oldest, so he was the first to speak.

Xie Tiao got up, bowed to the crowd, and said apologetically, "Today, you are alarmed by coming from afar, and what you did is not a trivial matter. Tiao has already given the emperor a letter, and asked the emperor to divorce his wife!"

Divorce!

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at Xie Tiao in disbelief.

Even before that, Xie Zhiwei had already heard from his grandfather, at this moment, he was still shocked. For a family like theirs, divorce is not a simple word.

Xie’s family is a well-known Shilin family, and heirs of poetry and etiquette. For hundreds of years, there has been no practice of divorce.

The Cui family is not someone else, but Cui Bingjun. There is no one in the Cui family in the capital now. Cui Bingjun is a side branch, but his seniority is not low, and he is the chief decision-maker of the Cui family in the capital. He makes decisions on everything, so he comes to listen on behalf of the Cui family.

At this time, he was shocked, raised his head, and looked at Xie Tiao, "This matter is not trivial. To be honest, the old lady in the family had no doubts when my aunt had an accident, but at that time, the Xie family had no elders, and the Feng family in the backyard One person has the final say, she did it very clean from beginning to end, the old lady came to Xie's house for a month to take care of the eldest girl and prepare for the funeral of the eldest aunt, but in fact she was looking for evidence."

With a flick of his sleeves, he took out a pack of medicine dregs and spread them on the table, "This was brought back by the old lady when she came to Xie's house. The medicine dregs were clean and there seemed to be no flaws. Later, the old genius doctor of the Cui family made a special trip to identify it. There was a little smell of aconitum, which was left in several medicine residues. Aconitum can cause profuse bleeding in parturients. It must be that my aunt fell for this trick, and she died unjustly."

Cui Bingjun said, "After that time, when the old lady returned home, she established the family rules. From now on, the girls in the family will have one more homework, which is to defend against poison."

Today's update!

Girls, Piao Piao let's go!
