284, taking his wife as a concubine three(1/2)
The woman's surname was Qin. She frowned slightly and glared at the maid in displeasure, "My master ran away and he didn't even know it. He went to collect his punishment on his own!"
The maid looked pale and hurriedly begged for mercy. Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, she looked at Chu Yunli again and said anxiously, "Madam, you are the one who wants to run away, but you can help me to beg for mercy."
"Get out!" Mrs. Qin kicked her over, walked to Chu Yunli, frowned and said, "Madam, the old woman at the door is lazy, I will punish her, and I can't run out randomly next time. If she runs away again,
Go out...at your own risk." His tone was threatening.
If it were Sun Ruju who met that girl today, she would have already fallen into the water. There is no pond in the village, only a small river. Sun Ruju is too clumsy to avoid that girl. If she really fell into the water, she would be dead.
Chu Yunli disagreed and said, "Please find someone else for me. I don't want her to serve you. She's just a girl. She has more words than me. I ran out today because I had a quarrel with her."
Mrs. Qin frowned and said, "Okay. It's just that after changing the person, Madam, please take good care of the baby and don't run around."
Chu Yunli didn't answer this, "I want to drink water."
Mrs. Qin was quite impatient. After hearing this, she waved her hand. Immediately, the little girl turned around and ran away. She quickly brought a teapot and a cup to pour for her.
She started drinking tea, and the group retreated.
In fact, today she really saw the back door and the high courtyard wall. If she really wanted to leave, she could still escape if she didn't meet the guards.
The current problem is that if she sneaks out, she won't know what's going on outside. With such a big belly, it's hard to guarantee that she'll be safe.
At noon, the maid who brought the food changed. This one looked to be about twenty years old and wore her hair in a woman's bun. She didn't say much and left after delivering the food. Chu Yunli spilled the food tentatively. She
I wasn’t angry, I just cleaned it and left.
Compared to the original one who was making noises, this one is more like a person from the villa.
Fortunately, there was no poison in the food. In fact, she also discovered in the past two days that the people behind the scenes did want to kill her, but they wanted to use natural methods to make it look like she died accidentally, rather than being assassinated or killed.
Poison.
After lunch, a woman sneaked in. It was the same woman from last night, with a bruise on her neck.
After entering the door, he took out a bag of medicine and placed it in front of her, "Madam, I bought all the medicine you asked for."
Chu Yunli stepped forward, pulled it, and asked casually, "Not bad, the action is quite fast."
"That's right." The mother-in-law said with some satisfaction, "Today, my slave went down the mountain as soon as the gate of the villa opened, and took the shopping carriage all the way. There was no delay at all."
After hearing this, Chu Yunli remembered it in her heart, picked up the medicine grinder inside and started to grind the medicine, "Can you tell me about the situation in this villa and who are the people there?"
The mother-in-law glanced at her secretly, "Hong'er didn't tell you?"
Hong'er was the girl whom Chu Yunli asked to be replaced by the steward just now. Chu Yunli glanced at her, and the mother-in-law sneered and said, "Actually, it's not a secret. The people in the villa...except for the owner, it's the wife and the couple."
There are a side wife, three young masters and two girls. There are more people in the outer courtyard, including several apprentices of the village owner, as well as the invited guests and their families...all in all, there must be four to five hundred people.
There are many people outside the villa who rely on our villa for their livelihood, and they all rely on us for protection, madam... Actually, you said that the medicine last night was poisonous, and the slave really didn't know."
She secretly glanced at Chu Yunli and saw that she was grinding the medicine seriously. She seemed not to have listened to her words. She raised a hand and swore, "If I knew there was something wrong with that bowl of soup, I would never dare to bring it to you."
Chu Yunli finally raised his eyes to look at her, poured the powder from the medicine grinder into the tea cup, made some tea, and said, "Drink this."
The mother-in-law was overjoyed and asked tentatively, "Is this the antidote?"
Chu Yunli didn't answer, but put some more in and grinded it. The mother-in-law waited for a long time, drank the medicine, put it back in the tea cup, patted her chest and said, "Madam, this poison is cured. What are your orders from now on?"
You can also come to me, I promise to handle it properly for you."
Just at this moment, the maid outside the door came in with a bowl of medicine and put it on the table, with a cold face, "Madam, this is anti-fetal medicine."
Chu Yunli poured the freshly ground medicine into the tea cup, made tea as before and handed it over, saying, "Drink this."
The maid looked confused and said, "I'm not sick. I don't want to take medicine."
The mother-in-law over there was also surprised and confused. She often ran around in the villa. Naturally, she knew that this girl had just come today. She wouldn't have suffered from colic like her so soon, right? She said in a voice,
"This is the antidote, drink it quickly."
The maid took a step back and wondered, "What antidote?"
The mother-in-law was not stupid either, her face changed drastically, "Madam, what is this?"
Chu Yunli took action, grabbed the maid's collar, pressed her down on the table, held the tea cup to her mouth and poured it into her mouth.
The maid might as well take action suddenly, kicking her foot, and she was about to turn over. Chu Yunli pressed his hand tighter, raised his foot and kicked her hard back at the calf. She groaned in pain, and the maid wanted to do it again.
Kick, I can no longer lift my legs.
Chu Yunli poured the medicine into her mouth again. When most of the medicine was down, she threw away the teacup, clapped her hands, stepped back leisurely, sat on the chair, and said, "You two have been hit."
If you are poisoned, you must obey me from now on. If something happens to me, you will not survive."
Just now, she acted swiftly and swiftly, but the mother-in-law stood aside and did not help because she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, a tightness in her chest, and a feeling of being suppressed in her breathing.
The mother-in-law covered her chest, a little confused, "Madam, what did I eat last night?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunli looked at the jar on the corner of the bed. That was the jar that Sun Rujuan had brought with her when she came to the Villa, and said casually, "It's just not a good thing anyway."
The maid also discovered abnormalities in her chest and her fingertips were faintly black, which was indeed a symptom of poisoning. She lowered her head and retreated to a corner.
Chu Yunli walked to the table, raised her hand and wrote on a piece of paper, "Buy these for me."
The mother-in-law stepped forward to take it, and there was another large list of various medicinal materials. She was a little nervous, "These should be antidotes, right?"
"That's right." Chu Yunli stretched, "If you don't believe me, just go find a doctor to treat yourself. If you want to force me to detoxify, unless I die. If you want to get the antidote, just listen to me.
If so. No matter who your real master is, you only have one life, right?"
The two people there looked at each other for a long time before the mother-in-law stepped back and took the piece of paper with her before leaving.
The maid stepped forward to clear the table. Chu Yunli looked at her with her chin propped up and asked, "Are you from the villa or are you a dowry brought by the young lady?"
"This slave is from the Villa. Her name is Lulan."
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows, "From yesterday to today, I almost died twice. Who do you think wanted my life?"
Lulan was surprised, "I don't know."
Seeing that the surprise on her face didn't look fake, Chu Yunli handed her the pillow on the couch, "Take this away, it's poisonous."
Lu Lan took it and said tentatively, "Madam may not know, but our eldest son has never been married before."
Huh, Chu Yunli was quite surprised, "Really?"
In Sun Rujuan's memory, there was true love between her and Xie Yue in those six months, and the relationship was not fake. Qin Lanjiao was about to kill her at that time, but Xie Yue stopped her, and then took a step back and offered to let her still live in the house.
The village gave her some money as a subsidy. It was also Xie Li who insisted on taking her back. However, after he came back, he seemed to be very busy, visiting her only once in a few days, and coming and going in a hurry every time.
"It's true. Last spring, news came out that Jingyang Villa and Bei'an Villa would get married." Lu Lan said while cleaning up, "But it's just a rumor. After half a year, we all heard that the owner of the Villa will personally
I went to Bei'an Villa to propose marriage, but the eldest son disappeared, and then he came back and brought you back."
Chu Yunli asked again, "So, after he disappeared, Madam got married to him?"
Lu Lan looked outside and lowered her voice, "No. The owner of the village has told everyone in the village not to talk nonsense, especially in front of you and the eldest son. Moreover, the owner of the village also hosted a banquet for the surrounding wealthy businessmen and also sent people to the surrounding villagers.
I said hello at home, the eldest young lady of our Jingyang Villa is Miss Qin. I also specifically told her that they got married last summer."
There was so much information revealed in these words that Chu Yunli was speechless for a long time.
For the first time, she discovered that a dominant force could actually achieve this. No matter whether Xie Yue and Qin Lanjiao were married or not, if more people talked about it, they would naturally get married. When the fake became true,
Yes, then the current deception is nothing.
"Hong'er looks carefree, but she actually has the tightest mouth." Lu Lan secretly looked at her expression and said, "Madam, Manager Qin chose this slave to serve her because she usually talks less."
No wonder Sun Rujuan didn't live long, because the owner of the village, Xie Changlan, didn't like her at all as his daughter-in-law. She looked at the girl in front of her and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being punished if you tell me this?"
Lu Lan put away the tea cups and picked up the tray, "Actually, I want you to see, the person the owner wants to hide the most is not you. Wait until the eldest son and his wife come back from Bei'an Villa this time..."
A man and a woman were traveling together, and they still had the status of husband and wife. In name, Xie Yue married another man. He had treated his wife badly, so he shouldn't have rejected her approach too much. After the trip, the lie became real.
When Xie Yue really accepts Qin Lanjiao's wife, what will happen to Sun Rujuan?
Chu Yunli leaned on the soft couch with her eyes closed. She could guess some of Xie Changlan's thoughts. He had to marry with Bei'an Villa, but it was because several villas supported each other to compete with the imperial court. But why did he have to do it?
Xie Li...probably that's why Qin Lanjiao chose him.
Qin Yunjiao is willing to do this kind of thing, which is to spread the news that she and he are already married before they are married. Her feelings for him should be very deep, so deep that she is willing to risk her own reputation.
It is a pity that Sun Rujuan died too early. He did not know the truth and died unjustly.
At this moment, the child in her belly kicked her twice. Chu Yunli came back to her senses and her mind became clear.
Manager Qin didn't have to do anything to her at all. Maybe Xie Changlan would take the initiative to kill her to show Bei'an Villa his sincerity in wanting to get married. It was originally a romantic debt that Xie Yue incurred before the marriage, so it was Qin Lanjiao's turn.
Take the initiative.
In her memory, Sun Rujuan had never met Qin Lanjiao a few times, but she could also see that she was a pampered girl who grew up, arrogant and extremely intelligent. She was therefore gentle towards Xie Yue.
She got up and closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to adjust her breathing. She had practiced this basic internal skill out of curiosity when she bought it, but she never practiced it deliberately after that, because between exhaling and inhaling, she
It will function, so every time she gets older, her internal energy becomes deeper and stronger.
After practicing hard all afternoon, I feel hungry.
There was a knock on the door outside, and it was Lu Lan's voice, "Madam, it's time to eat."
Opening the door, he saw that her tone was much more respectful than before. Chu Yunli picked up the bowl and asked with a smile, "Are you going to see the doctor?"
"Yes." Lu Lan said frankly, "The doctor said that this slave is just tired and not poisoned."
To be continued...
