Wang Mengjiao said with a smile on her face, "I know that the eldest young lady is taking care of the housework now. She must be very tired, so it's okay for me to come over." Such politeness made Xu Ruoshui a little wary, and she asked Baomei to pass on the message yesterday.
It's really incredible that she didn't feel annoyed at all and greeted him with such a smile.
"No, I'm just following Madam's old routine, so it's not hard work at all."
"Bier," Wang Mengjiao raised her hand and asked Bi'er to bring the things to her. Bi'er opened the food box, took out the cup of loquat paste, opened the lid of the cup, and said, "This is the loquat that our aunt made specially for you, my eldest mistress."
It is an ointment that moisturizes the throat and lungs. It is very good to take it in this autumn."
Loquat cream? The loquat cream that Wang Mengjiao sent to her that night came to Xu Ruoshui's mind. Even her lips couldn't help but tremble, and the chill hit her from her feet to her head. Is the past going to happen again today? Xu Ruoshui slandered.
He said, Wang Mengjiao is so diligent and unusual, and she sent loquat ointment just after Meng Tianqi was taken away from the head of the family. If this is not intentional, then what is it, but today's late autumn is not the original Xu Ruoshui.
She won't be fooled again.
In fact, Wang Mengjiao was also very uneasy. She was also very confused about what happened at the beginning. Why did Xu Ruoshui die after just adding some poison to the loquat paste? Could it be that mixing the loquat paste with the poison could cause death?
Xu Ruoshui suppressed her resentment and smiled gracefully, "Let me see what Auntie Wang gave me. It can't be poison. I won't even know it until I die." After mentioning it deliberately, Yu
Guang glanced at Wang Mengjiao's smile and said, "Young lady is really good at joking. If it were poison, would I dare to give it to you?"
Xu Ruoshui opened the medicine cup and took a few sniffs. It was the same life-threatening smell as it had been a few months ago. "Sure enough, it used a lot of ingredients. I accept Aunt Wang's kindness."
"Baomei, go get my pair of white jade earrings for me," Xu Ruoshui told Baomei. They were given to her by Mrs. Meng after Xu Ruoshui pretended to have lost her earrings at Wen Tao Tower. She had never taken them with her before.
Baomei went to the dressing table and took out a satin-covered red brocade box. Xu Ruoshui took out a pair of gourd earrings with excellent water quality, warm and fluorescent glow, "My wife gave these to me. I borrowed the flowers to offer to the Buddha as a thank you to the king."
My aunt’s wishes.”
Wang Mengjiao was attracted to the earrings when she saw them, and took them with both hands, "That would be disrespectful." Xu Ruoshui knew that she would never refuse valuable things.
"Young lady, you have to drink this loquat ointment while it's hot. The medicinal smell will be too strong when it's cold," Wang Mengjiao urged as she put away her earrings.
Xu Ruoshui smiled and put the lid on the cup, "The young master said that his throat hurts these days. I think this loquat ointment is delivered just right." He told a casual lie, but it hit Wang Mengjiao's intention. Meng Tianqi confessed last night
, let Meng Tianbo and Xu Ruoshui eat it together.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Meng Tianbo still didn't come back to the house. Wang Mengjiao got a little tired from waiting and said, "Then I will go back today. If the young lady thinks it tastes good, just send someone to tell me."
"Thank you, Aunt Wang." Xu Ruoshui stopped and asked Baomei to see off the guests. He stared at the cup of loquat paste in a daze, and Baomei didn't notice it until she returned to the house.
"Young lady, when you look at it like this, do you want to see through it?"
Xu Ruoshui was shocked and found that his hands were all covered in cold sweat. Wang Mengjiao shouldn't be that stupid, pouring medicine into it in broad daylight, but people were unpredictable and had to be on guard, "Baomei, can you help me get a mouse?"
"Rat?" Baomei waved her hands after hearing this, "I'm most afraid of mice. The young mistress should spare my life."
The only thing he could do was to do it himself. The mice had already gone into hiding this season. It seemed that the only option was to try his luck in the kitchen. Xu Ruoshui hid the cup of loquat paste and went to the small kitchen alone. Mrs. Hu was busy washing when she saw Xu Ruoshui.
He came over and quickly shook off the water droplets on his hands, "Madam, why are you here? This place is very dirty. If you have anything to do, just ask Baomei to send a message."
They just want to look for rats in dirty places. "Are there rats infested here?" Xu Ruoshui asked, which made Mrs. Hu a little confused. "What does the young lady want rats for?"
Xu Ruoshui couldn't explain it now, so she had to say, "If you don't explain it to your mother now, she will know it when there is a mouse." Since Mother Hu wholeheartedly protects Meng Tianbo, she doesn't need to hide what she does.
She just attracted her attention to the entire yard.
"Okay," Mrs. Hu said cheerfully when she saw that Xu Ruoshui was not hiding anything, "Young mistress, go back first, and I will send you a mouse in a while."
Xu Ruoshui was worried about not being able to start, so with Mrs. Hu's help, she was naturally overjoyed and went back to the house to wait for Mrs. Hu to catch a mouse.
Near noon, Mrs. Hu bumped into Meng Tianbo with a mouse, "Why did you bring such a dirty thing into the house?"
"The eldest mistress wants it," Mrs. Hu replied with a smile, "don't tell me, I spent a lot of effort to capture this place."
Xu Ruoshui had already seen the two people walking in from the window, so he took out the cup of loquat paste, scooped a spoonful of it and put it on the ground. He asked Baomei to find a bamboo stick and put it in when Mrs. Hu's mouse arrived.
.
Meng Tianbo didn't know the cause and effect, and frowned at Xu Ruoshui. Unexpectedly, her expression was so solemn, so he remained silent and waited for her to speak.
After squeaking all the time, Xu Ruoshui picked up the bamboo strips. The mouse that Mrs. Hu had caught had flipped to the ground, and a spoonful of loquat paste was eaten clean by Tian.
Xu Ruoshui's face suddenly turned white, and even her lips lost color. She shook her head repeatedly, her eyes unable to hold back the tears, "How could it be? How could she do such a thing again?"
"Wan Qiu, what's going on?" Meng Tianbo held her wrist and asked her to calm down.
"It's really her. She was the one who poisoned her." Xu Ruoshui lost control. Faced with this matter again, she suddenly felt that she couldn't bear it anymore.
"What poison?~~~" Meng Tianbo asked anxiously.
"I'm going to find her and ask her why she poisoned me over and over again. Why can't I help her~~~" Meng Tianbo didn't pay attention, and Xu Ruoshui struggled away.
"Hurry up and stop her~" Meng Tianbo hurriedly said to Mrs. Hu and Baomei at the door. Fortunately, the two were clever and hugged Xu Ruoshui, but she tried her best to break free, and they almost didn't stop her.
Meng Tianbo had no choice but to strike Xu Ruoshui on the back of the neck with one hand. Her body went limp and she fell into his arms.
