Wishful Things

Chapter 17 It's Her

Of course, this question is always inappropriate to ask in public.

"In the past few years, you have been in the Zhen Guogong Mansion, and your food and clothing expenses have always been higher than those of concubines in other mansions. Since you suffered from insomnia, you have been invited by doctors from all walks of life in central Beijing. As the master Mother, dare to say that there is no one in the mansion who treats you badly, and no one will feel sorry for you!"

At this time, Cui Shi looked at Ruan Shi who was already in a daze, and said: "Under this situation, you are still unwilling to settle down. To put it bluntly, you are dissatisfied! A concubine who is dissatisfied wants to have a child, just because she can By your side, you are yourself, dare you believe this?"

She dared to say that even if the child was born, with an aunt like Ruan, it would never be uncontested or snatched in the future—it even came into this world because of the calculation of the birth mother, not to mention the future. road!

Don't tell her that you can't be lonely if you have children by your side. She wanted to teach Ruan Shi how to play a horse-sling earlier, but Ruan Shi was reluctant. There are many ways to pass loneliness in this world, but she Ruan Shi chose the most vicious!

yes……

Xu Mingyi nodded in agreement again.

Life is short, and Ruan still wants to take a shortcut—when you meet this kind of person, what else can you do besides being dry?

Wouldn't it be better to live well and live longer?

The elders have pretty much said what should be said, but she herself is impatient, because she just "returned" to the age of sixteen, and she is still a little uncomfortable, and she hopes to stay with her family for a while and listen more. They were talking, and they just sat here and listened quietly for so long——

And now, she had to ask the question she really wanted to ask.

"You said that your father made up his mind to ask someone to deliver the medicine after he had been to Xiyuan, and you said that my mother was only one tomorrow, and you were also concerned about me." Xu Mingyi looked at Ruan Shi and asked: "These thoughts, what do you think?" How did you get it?"

She just noticed that Ruan's expression didn't hesitate and shrink back when he said these words, it didn't seem like he came to the conclusion based on his own imagination.

"Of course I saw it myself!" Ruan's expression was almost crazy.

"Did you really see it yourself? Or, after listening to others with ulterior motives and having prejudice in your eyes, you look at everything like a ghost?"

This time, before Ruan could answer, Xu Mingyi asked in a firm tone: "If I'm not wrong, the person who has been listening to you for the past few years should be the person who conspired with you this time, right?"

Hearing this sentence, Ruan Shiben's eyes that were close to chaos flickered.

"What conspiracy..."

She smiled without much expression, and looked up at Xu Mingyi: "This kind of trick, do you need any kind of conspiracy?"

"I have all the safety talismans with me. If there is no one to encourage each other, I'm afraid I won't be able to take this step. Besides, tricks also need connections—" The girl said calmly, "This is the Everlasting Grass from the Western Regions. It’s a forbidden drug, and it’s not something you can buy casually in Beijing.”

Ruan's eyes froze for a moment.

"Western Region?"

Xu Qiwei frowned and said, "Zhao Zhao is saying that this poison comes from the Western Regions?"

Xu Mingyi nodded.

"That's right, Aoi told me."

Everyone looked at Ah Kui with confirmation in their eyes.

"..."

In one day, Ah Kui, who had received this kind of look too many times, clenched her trembling fingers, nodded as calmly as she could, and said, "Yes."

Although she has never heard of the Eternal Sleeping Grass at all, it is whatever the girl says...

"Western Region..."

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

The biological mother of Miss Liu who lives in the mansion, who later remarried, seems to be a businessman from the Western Regions!

If she could think of it, Xu Qiwei and others naturally thought of it one after another.

This is also the reason why Xu Mingyi suspected Liu Yi without any evidence before——

When she was in Yangzhou earlier, when she heard Doctor Qiu say that the poison came from the Western Regions, she subconsciously thought of Liu Yi.

Of course, it was just a trace of suspicion at that time, and after the Xu family's accident, Liu Yi, who had been reluctant to marry, could not avoid being implicated. Although she saved her life because she was not a blood relative, she still ended up in exile— — So she has no way to track down and verify.

"You are still stubborn and refuse to speak out about your accomplices, but you still want to leave a hidden danger for the government of the town!"

Xu Qiwei got up from the desk, his eyes full of anger: "I am self-righteous, but I am just asking for trouble!"

He is not a respectable house owner!

It's about the safety of his granddaughter, he has to investigate this matter thoroughly today!

Cui heard what the old man meant, and immediately called two rough envoy women who were guarding outside the hall to enter.

However, as soon as the words fell, there was a crisp "click", followed by Ruan's screams——

It was Azhu who couldn't wait but broke the opponent's arm without expression.

She had waited for too long, and finally waited until the masters let go, of course she refused to leave this good opportunity to others.

Seeing this scene, the two women looked at each other and stood silently behind Ah Zhu.

Ruan's face turned pale from the pain, and beads of sweat fell straight down.

Ran took a deep breath in his heart, gritted his teeth tightly, and still didn't want to utter half a word.

At this time, Azhu's hand held her other arm...

After clenching it tightly, it loosened slightly, and it was folded but not folded——

In a few breaths, in such terrible torment, the breath in Ruan's heart, which was on the verge of collapse, finally dissipated.

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

... It's not that she can't hold on, it's just that the Xu family has made it clear that they have already guessed about Liu Yi, no matter how stubborn she is, it is meaningless! ——Ruan cried out in grief and despair in his heart before he passed out from the pain.

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

That was Ah Zhu's father, Zhu Xiu.

"The matter that the girl asked me to investigate this afternoon has already come to fruition. The businessman from the Western Regions that Mrs. Qin married had already left the capital with Mrs. Qin a month ago. The spice shop they opened in the Western Regions , was re-leased by others ten days ago, and turned into a lacquerware shop."

Xu Qiwei looked furious.

... He must have heard that the girl from the Duke of Zhen's mansion was suffering from narcolepsy, realized Liu Yi's intentions, and was afraid of being implicated if it was revealed, that's why he fled the capital!

"Bring Mrs. Liu for questioning immediately!"

The night was thick and sultry.

In the dark, Liu Yi was holding a heavy burden, and was drenched in sweat from anxiety.

She originally wanted to leave at night, but found that the entire Zhen Guogong Mansion was uncharacteristically guarded by people!

Even the small doors that are not often opened have been replaced with new locks!

Forcibly breaking in is of course not going to work.

She steadied herself, and after a while, she trotted towards a lit courtyard not far ahead.
