In front of you

Xin You wiped the medicinal juice from the corner of her lips and asked calmly: "Who made today's medicine?"

"My maid suffered from it, and then I asked Jiang Shuang to take care of it -" Xiao Lian's expression changed, "Is there something wrong with this medicine?"

Xin You shook his head: "I don't know if there is a problem, I just think the taste is a little different."

Aunt Xia was a caterer for her mother, she was good at cooking, and she also had a good tongue. A difference in taste did not necessarily mean there was something wrong with the medicine, but in the Shaoqing Mansion where murder was everywhere, she had to be more cautious.

"Is the medicine residue still there?"

"Yesterday's medicine residue was left on the wall by Jiang Shuang, and today's medicine has not been cleaned up yet." Xiao Lian looked more and more nervous, and she had already decided that there was something wrong with the medicine.

Xin You thought for a moment and asked, "Does Miss Kou have any savings?"

"some."

Xin You whispered softly: "I quietly collected the dregs of the medicine and went to a small medical clinic far away from Shaoqing's Mansion on the pretext of buying me preserves. I took some money and asked the doctor to treat me..."

Xiaolian nodded while listening. She first processed the concoction, then arranged errands for the servants in Wan Qingju. While these people were busy, she collected the dregs of the medicine and went outside the house.

"This, how does this make -" Grandma Li still refused, looking at a loss what to do.

"These all belong to the girl." Xiao Lian couldn't hide her pride, "There are also a few boxes of good materials, all of which are kept in the west room."

Shaoqing's family came from a scholarly family, but to put it bluntly, she was not rich enough. As the concubine's daughter-in-law, the second wife, Mrs. Zhu, could not touch the housekeeper's door. This visitation gift was very precious.

The keys to the boxes and cages containing gold and silver jewelry were always in her hand.

Duan Yunyan was only ten years old, a lively and talkative age, but he was so alienated from his cousin who had lived in Shaoqing's mansion for four years. I don't know whether it was because of the age difference that they couldn't play together, or because of the advice of adults.

"Is Qingqing feeling better today?" Compared with the low-key manner in the old lady's house yesterday, Zhu's lips were smiling today, and she was a little more approachable.

Although Xiaolian was puzzled by Xinyou's special treatment of Aunt Li, she moved swiftly and took Aunt Li's hand to put it on for her personally: "Since this is a reward from the girl, don't refuse, Nanny Li, try it quickly."

The trial fit is not suitable."

"Girl, how did you know there was a silver ring?" Xiaolian asked another question.

When the four people retreated, Xiao Lian asked in confusion: "Why did the girl only admire Nanny Li?"

Without anyone else around, Xiaolian no longer concealed the fear in her heart and said in a trembling voice: "Girl, there's something wrong with the medicine..."

"How?" When she asked this question, Xin You already had some idea in mind.

Jiangshuang knelt down and said, "My name is Jiangshuang. I am usually responsible for cleaning the house and doing some chores ordered by Sister Xiaolian."

Xin You looked on with cold eyes. Not to mention the two little maids, Mother Wang stared at Nanny Li with obvious jealousy.

After Xinyou was silent for a moment, she asked, "Is that all there is?"

Even if you want to win over people's hearts, you can't do it to a rude mother-in-law.

Some people always think that the girl in her family is living under someone else's roof. In fact, her family's wealth is much richer than that of the other girls in her family.

"Go ahead."

"Drink some water and speak slowly."

Aunt Li looked shocked: "Girl, you can't do it, you can't do it -"

Not long after, two servant girls and two maids appeared in front of Xin You.

The fourth girl, Duan Yunyan, stood beside her mother. When she entered the room, she only called Cousin Qing and then fell silent.

"Second aunt is worried about me. I just took medicine and I feel much better."

The girl's fingers were as green as green onions, fair and slender, but empty without any ornaments. When Xiaolian thought about Grandma Li's thick and fat fingers again, she couldn't help but reveal a look that was hard to explain.

"Girl——" Xiao Lian had confusion and resentment on her face.

"You should all have heard that I hit my head after falling off a cliff, and I couldn't remember some things for a while. I didn't bother to take care of it when I came back yesterday, so I'll introduce myself today." Xin You first looked at the little maid named Jiang Shuang.

Xin You's eyes were fixed and she said warmly: "Mama Li is quite old. Isn't it hard to do rough work?"

Xin You smiled when he heard this: "I don't think Miss Kou even has a silver ring."

Someone in Shaoqing's house really wants to harm the girl!

Xiaolian was stunned, then quickly walked to the cabinet and opened the box. After a moment of hesitation, she took out a plain silver ring from a dozen rings of different materials and sizes.

Xin You signaled the maid to open the gifts brought by Mrs. Zhu. In addition to a few ordinary supplements, there was also a stick of Laoshan ginseng.

"You once said that Miss Kou's grandfather accumulated tens of thousands of fortunes through business in troubled times, but he only had one son. Miss Kou's father studied and became an official and became a prefect, and he only had one daughter. Four years ago, Miss Kou's mother left her as an orphan when she died.

When Miss Kou comes to Beijing, where will the wealth of the two generations of the Kou family go?"

Xinyou's heart moved.

Xin You listened silently, her expression unchanged: "Call everyone from Wanqingju."

Xiaolian grabbed the cup and drank some water. The fingertips holding the cup couldn't control the shaking: "The doctor checked the medicine residue and found that there is an extra flavor in the medicine today. Although it also has analgesic effect, it has nothing to do with regulating qi and nourishing blood."

The prescriptions are mutually exclusive, and a weak person may suffer from abdominal pain and vomiting in mild cases, or coma and death in severe cases..."

"Thank you for your hard work, Grandma Li."

Xiaolian was stunned, her expression gradually changed from confused to horrified, and she murmured: "I, I don't know..."

Facing those dark eyes, Xiaolian's mind cleared up and she knelt down: "Yes."

"I just think Grandma Li's hands are suitable for wearing rings." Xin You stroked her fingers.

Xinyou felt in a good mood.

Next, people from the old lady and the eldest lady came to visit one after another, and Xiaolian came back near noon.

"That's good. Eat and take medicine on time, and you'll be fine soon..." Mrs. Zhu warned warmly, sat down for a while and then left with her daughter.

Xiaolian couldn't help but be stunned. She looked at the box full of treasures and hesitated: "Are these... very few?"

The younger servant said: "The old slave is responsible for cleaning the courtyard. The girl used to call the old slave Mama Wang."

Grandma Li hurriedly said: "Young lady, you have broken the old slave. All these tasks are what the old slave is used to doing. It's okay, if you don't think the old slave is clumsy."

The owner of those hands turned out to be far away in the horizon, but right in front of me.

"How could that happen?" Xin You glanced at Xiao Lian and said, "Xiao Lian, bring that silver ring."

Due to the environment in which he grew up, Xin You originally lived a free and easy life, but now he had to think more.

Not long after Xiaolian went out, the little maid came to report that the second wife and the fourth girl were here.

The servant who spoke last was in her fifties, with a reserved look and an honest look on her face: "The old servant's family name is Li, and she does menial work in the courtyard."

Seeing this, Xinyou couldn't help but sigh.

The boxes are full of exquisite ornaments suitable for girls to wear, and the hairpins and jade ornaments in the cage are valuable at first sight.

Another little maid said: "My name is Hanxue. I work as a doorkeeper and run errands for the girl."

Xiaolian was dumbfounded and struggled a few times in her mind. She first picked up the box on the dressing table, then moved two boxes and cages from the cabinet and opened them one by one.

Xiaolian, who accompanied Kou Qingqing to Beijing four years ago, was only eleven years old, so it was no surprise that she knew nothing about this.

However, there are always people who know.
