Chapter 96
After rubbing, it turned out much better. Moreover, the temperature of the big palm was moderate, which was more useful than Tang Pozi. Yu Xiang glared at his brother fiercely, but he obediently hugged in his arms and did not move.
Yu Pinyan covered the two of them again. Seeing that his sister spontaneously raised her neck, he quickly smiled and stretched out his arm as a pillow for her. He held her slender waist with the other hand, trying to bring her into his arms.
The first meteorology came fiercely, and the ancient menstrual belt was placed underneath, which was leaking 360 degrees. Yu Xiang lay stiffly, afraid of dirtying her newly-changed underwear and mattress. Seeing that his brother wanted to move him, he shouted anxiously, "Don't touch me!"
"What's wrong? It hurts again?" Yu Pinyan couldn't stop her and instead went to massage her abdomen.
As soon as he rubbed it, a hot stream rolled out. Yu Xiang wanted to die and roared with a red face, "I said don't touch me!"
Yu Pinyan sighed melancholy, "The Imperial Doctor said that you may be a little uneasy these days, but it is true. Be good, don't lose your temper, just rub it and get better quickly." As he said, he continued to massage.
Yu Xiang covered his face and moaned, feeling that the grass and wood ash seemed to be unable to cover it, so he leaned into his brother's ear and whispered with great shame, "Don't move me again, blood will flow into a river when you move. Don't blame me for your clothes if you dirty them later."
After two breaths, Yu Pinyan understood the deep meaning of her words. Her eyes became darker and her breathing became a little heavier. Her palm covered her belly and stopped moving.
The room was silent. After a moment, Yu Pinyan laughed hoarsely, "If you get dirty, it's not worth enduring the pain for a few pieces of clothes and sets of mattresses. Brother continues to help you press, but at worst, I will ask Taohong Liulu to change your underwear and mattress later." He smiled and rubbed it without saying a word.
Yu Xiang wanted to pry his big palm away but couldn't exert force, so he had to compromise. His hot cheeks were buried in his neck and asked, "Brother, why are you so scoundrel today? You don't look like you at all."
Yu Pinyan's low voice was filled with joy, "Because Xiang'er finally grew up today, I'm very happy. Do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?"
Although he didn't say it clearly, even the fool could hear the hidden heat in his words. Yu Xiang's eyes turned slightly red, and he moved away from his neck and turned his face to the other side. She was unwilling to take that step with his lure and seduction, because the road ahead was too difficult to walk. What kind of feelings can be stronger than family affection in the world? Why did she exchange a love with an uncertain future for an eternal family affection?
Yu Pinyan's eyes were dark and he grabbed her jaw and made her look directly at him. He was about to reveal her life experience, but he heard Ma Ma shouting outside, "The Marquis is not good, something big happened! The red dates of the banquet were poisoned!"
Yu Xiang was shocked and was about to struggle to get up but was pushed back by Yu Pinyan. He in deep voice, "Lying down well, with your brother here, there will be nothing wrong." After the words came, Taohong Liulu, "Look at your master, don't let her run around."
Peach red and green willows bowed to the promise, and Yu Pinyan followed Ma Ma to the main courtyard to move quickly.
This is also a matter of blame. In order to win people's hearts, she transferred her confidants to the most lucrative errands in the Hou Mansion, and buying a kitchen was one of them. However, she had only managed merchants like the Shen family, but underestimated the wealthy families like the Yongle Hou Mansion.
Although the Marquis' Mansion has had few exchanges with various nobles in recent years, there are many female guests who attended the banquet this time. I don't know how she calculated that the kitchen manager bought a lot of ingredients less. After only two quarters of an hour of the banquet, the dishes on the table were already emptied.
There are naturally rules for aristocratic families to have guests. Twelve people are a table. If there is one person on the table, the empty dishes must be filled. For these people who have been pampering and in high positions for many years, eating the dishes is very rude; for the owner, it is also a shame not to add the dishes.
The servant only added vegetables to the Crown Princess' table. The next table was really powerless and could only leave the dish empty. Lin and Yu Miaoqi were so anxious that the old lady was calm and calm, and ordered people to get pastries to be placed, which made the scene not so ugly.
The old lady especially likes to eat dried red dates. Every autumn and winter, she asks people to purchase them in Gansu and Shaanxi, and eat them slowly in the warehouse. This time she dares not hide her own personal information, so she takes out all the dried dates for supply. Large dog-headed dates are placed in white porcelain dishes, with bright colors and full shapes, and they look very greedy.
The old lady smiled and invited a female guest to taste it. Because the Ninth Princess and Fan Jiaojiao came late, they met the servant who served dried dates and didn't even bother to eat them. They took a few and stuffed them into their mouths. The Crown Princess was replenishing blood and ate two of them. Seeing this, everyone gave the old lady a lot of face, and those who ate cakes and those who ate dates had no mention of the fact that the dishes were not enough.
Before Yu Miaoqi and Lin could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw the Ninth Princess covering her throat and moaning, and then there were Fan Jiaojiao, the old lady, the princess... Everyone who had eaten dried dates felt that their throats were burning and their chests were stuffy and painful, as if they were poisoned.
Ma Ma was so shocked that she went to find the Marquis. If something happened to these nobles, Marquis Ren could not bear it no matter how powerful he was.
By then, Yu Pinyan had already become a mess in the banquet hall. All the female guests who had eaten dried dates looked painful and looked frightened. Those who had never eaten were hiding in the corner and screaming repeatedly, saying, "Murdered", "Poisoned", "Help"... The shouting made people panic and the sky was full of fire.
"Calm down, fear will cause blood to flow faster, and blood will accelerate, causing toxins to spread rapidly throughout the body. Calm down, slow down your breathing, find a stool to sit down, and this marquis has sent someone to hire an imperial physician, and it will be there in half a minute." Yu Pinyan's majestic voice sounded like an alarm bell. The Crown Princess had experienced so many storms and was the first person to calm down. She helped the Ninth Princess sit down on the stool, and adjusted her breathing bit by bit. As expected, she felt much better. Several palace maids quickly surrounded her and slapped her back and fanned her wind.
Then Mrs. Fan also helped Fan Jiaojiao sit down, trying hard to suppress the anxiety in her heart. Everyone followed suit when they saw this, and the hall gradually became quiet. Lin and Yu Miaoqi did not eat dried dates, so they were in good health. They were hugging each other and trembling. This banquet was held by Yu Miaoqi. If someone really poisoned, she would be the first one to suffer.
The second thing is that her reputation is that she is afraid that she will be taken to the Dragon Scale Guard by Yu Pinyan, the cold-blooded and ruthless person for interrogation. When she thought of this, she was so scared that she broke her soul and pulled Lin to leave secretly.
Yu Pinyan had already been covered with guards outside the courtyard, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. He also sent a row of guards to bring all the servants who had contacted Zaogan to the hall. So many guests were poisoned, including the Crown Princess and the Ninth Princess. In order to give everyone an explanation and to the maximum extent, he had to openly interrogate the suspects. If there was any concealment, the emperor's desk would be overwhelmed by the memorials that impeached him tomorrow.
The dignified Yu Dutong's mansion was poisoned by evil people. He assassinated so many powerful people at once, and his ability would be questioned by the emperor. In short, if this matter is not resolved well, not only will his career be saved, but he may not even be able to protect his marquis's mansion.
The old lady also knew that she almost fainted several times, but she bit her tongue and held on her shoulder, shouting in a hoarse voice, "Take all the servants up for trial one by one, and then try them in front of the guests."
At the same time, several imperial physicians arrived hurriedly, and the poisoned female guest went into the east room to take the pulse. The remaining imperial physician who was good at testing the poison took the dried red dates to check. The female guest, who was in good health, sat upright behind the huge screen and listened to President Yu's investigation of the case. If the truth is not revealed today, they will never give up.
The Lin family and his daughter were driven back by the guards as soon as they arrived at the yard and sat beside Yu Pinyan with a pale face.
The first person to start the trial was the manager who bought this batch of red dates. Her whole body was shaking like a sieve. Before the Marquis asked, she could tell the whole story of pouring beans from the bamboo tube. It turned out that the cost of Yu Miaoqi's family's rear mansion had been reduced again and again. I don't know how she managed it. The industries in the Marquis' mansion began to shrink one after another, and the business plummeted. She changed the shopkeeper, changed the supply of goods, and changed the account room. All the people who Yu Xiang used to reuse were changed. This made it even worse. In a few months, even the basic expenses were not enough.
Yu Miaoqi couldn't do it, so she had to try to save money. She didn't dare to move, so she tampered with food. Although the dishes in the Hou Mansion were still the same, the ingredients used were the most time-honored. A few months ago, the old lady shouted to eat dates and lent her 500 taels of silver to hire merchants to buy authentic dog-headed dates in Ganzhou. She waved her sleeve and cut off three hundred taels. The remaining two hundred taels of entrusted the affairs and intercepted another one hundred taels.
The only 100 taels left was not affordable for the travel expenses back and forth. After searching for it, the manager saw this kind of dried dates with a very beautiful appearance in a small grocery store. The price was also very low. After being overjoyed, he didn't ask the source and immediately bought them all.
Just then, the imperial physician also tested the red dates and came forward to report, "Mr. Marquis, this batch of red dates should be moldy old dates. After fumigation with sulfur, it becomes bright and full, and it is sold as dried fresh dates. Dear nobles, they have eaten too much sulfur and become poisoned. They also asked Marquis to send someone to boil mung bean licorice juice to relieve the toxicity."
An imperial physician also came out of the East House, and his pulse test result proved the words of his colleagues.
The female guest in the hall was in a big uproar, but she didn't expect that this incident would still contain such an unbearable inside story. Fortunately, Lin praised Yu Miaoqi for being able to do it before, but she turned out to be greedy for even her grandmother's money. After being handed over to her a huge marquis' mansion, she was full of holes and was shaky and shaky. In terms of her ability to make a fortune, she was simply incredible.
Huanhuan went to pick up people happily, but the one who came back was such a star of destruction, and the Marquis's Mansion was about to end!
The old lady raised her hand and pointed at Yu Miaoqi, but because her throat was burned by sulfur, she couldn't scold her. The anger in her eyes churned violently, and she wanted to burn her to ashes. Tiansha Guxing was indeed Tiansha Guxing. It was defeated by one gram. Why was the lard in the beginning and insisted on taking her back?
I thought she was a daughter in the boudoir and could not cause much trouble, but unexpectedly, she would make a big splash and cheat everyone. The old lady regretted it so much that she broke her heart.
Yu Miaoqi's face turned red at first, but then slowly turned purple. If Lin hadn't snatched her arm hard, she would have escaped. Never had this moment made her feel so embarrassing, it was a more painful experience than staying in the Dragon Scale Guard. She wanted to peel off her skin so that people would never recognize her again.
Yu Pinyan had a cold face and ordered someone to catch the dried date shop and continue to review it. Then he waved his sleeves at Ma Ma. Ma understood and led a few servants to boil medicine. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he saw Yu Xiang slowly coming, followed by a row of maids holding trays. The tray was filled with mung bean juice that everyone needed the most.
