Su Xiyue glanced at everyone in the room and asked with some confusion: "Why don't you see grandma?"
"The old lady is slightly ill. The Duke's wife and Madam Liu just went over to sit down. The old lady was afraid that the two ladies would be sick after her illness, so she invited her to sit in the flower hall." Mrs. Cao finished.
, then said: "One of these two is Miss Liu and the other is Miss Song. They are about the same age as you three sisters. You can chat together."
"Yes, ma'am."
After hearing this, Mrs. Dingguo and Mrs. Liu looked at each other. This Su Xiyue behaved dignifiedly and looked like a lady, but why didn't she call her mother, but madam? Although she was stepmother, she could still be considered a stepmother.
It's her mother. Although she is called a lady, she is respectful but does not show her closeness!
As someone lifted the curtain, a group of maids filed in, offering all kinds of snacks, melons and fruits!
The last two maids to come in were the two maids, each holding a tray with several cups of fragrant tea on each. The ones used were the fine blue and white porcelain that Su Xiyue brought back at a good time.
"I'll do it." Su Xiyue took the initiative and served tea to Mrs. Dingguo and Mrs. Liu with her own hands. Then she went to Mrs. Cao and took the tea cups one by one.
Everyone in the group sat down, chatting and laughing, which was quite lively.
Suddenly, Ms. Cao's face turned blue, she covered her chest with her hands, and looked at Su Xiyue with a look of extreme pain! Her eyes looked sad and heartbroken!
"Yue'er, you, I have always treated you well, why are you?" As he said that, Mr. Cao actually coughed up a mouthful of blood!
When Su Lian saw this situation, she was immediately stunned! She shouted: "Mother, what's wrong with you, mother?" After saying that, she looked at Su Xiyue with a sad face, "Second sister, how can you be so cruel? Mother?"
Didn’t I already explain that the incident that shocked the horse that day was purely accidental, and my mother didn’t know about it! What are you going to do?”
A flash of pride flashed in Su Yu's eyes, and she stood up and came to Cao's side, pointed at Su Xiyue and cursed, "You are really cruel! It's not just spreading rumors, but now you are thinking about harming your mother's life?
"
Su Xiyue, who was pointed at and scolded, looked at the others with an innocent face, "What are you doing? What happened to the madam? Also, you said I was the one who harmed her? But why?"
This sudden change shocked the two ladies present. They looked at Su Xiyue with some suspicion. If it was said that this little girl had administered the poison, they really didn't believe it! After all, Su Xiyue in front of them
She was only fourteen months old, where did she get the courage to poison her stepmother in front of so many people?
Miss Liu and Miss Song on the side looked at the people in front of them with confused expressions, as if they still didn't understand what happened.
"Yue'er, I treat you as my own daughter. I have never treated you badly. I never thought you would!" Mrs. Cao said, then coughed a few more times.
Su Xiyue said innocently: "Madam, you are not feeling well? Do you want to ask the government doctor to take a look?"
As soon as these words came out, the two ladies immediately understood! Su Lian and Su Yu are both Cao's biological daughters. Why didn't they think of calling the government doctor for diagnosis and treatment when they saw Cao in such pain? Is it just because of a temporary
In a hurry, did you neglect it?
Mrs. Cao quickly pinched Su Lian's hand, and Su Lian realized that she had been too eager just now! She shouted loudly: "Go and ask the doctor to come over quickly. Tell her that Madam is unwell!"
A flash of understanding flashed in Mrs. Dingguo's eyes! The performance of this play was too clumsy! Even before the government doctor diagnosed and treated her, she dared to conclude that it was the second young lady of the Su family who murdered her stepmother! The hearts of the three Cao family members were also
It’s too dark! This is clearly intended to discredit Su Xiyue’s reputation so that she can no longer hold her head high! She is accused of poisoning her stepmother. In the future, which young master will be willing to marry such a snake-hearted person?
A woman as a wife? This kind of thinking is really vicious!
However, although Mrs. Dingguo saw it, she had no intention of exposing it. After all, this was a family matter of the Marquis Anding, and she could not get involved at will! Just as it happened, she also wanted to take a look at this Miss Su Er.
, what kind of master is he? Is it true that he is as ungrateful as the rumors say?
After a while, the government doctor was called in, checked his pulse, and prescribed medicine.
"Madam is poisoned. Fortunately, the poison is not deep, otherwise, it would be difficult to treat her!" the doctor said.
When Su Yu heard this, she immediately yelled at Su Xiyue: "Su Xiyue, what else do you have to say? You personally served this tea, and it was not poisoned by you. Who else could it be?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu frowned. This third young lady is really rude! How could he so arbitrarily determine that it was the second young lady who did it? It seems that the second young lady was in vain to assume the title of a legitimate daughter.
It’s not an easy life!
Su Xiyue lowered her eyes, looking very aggrieved, but not in a hurry to defend herself. Seeing this, Su Lian rolled her eyes and ordered: "Quickly go check, who were the people who cooked the tea just now?"
After he finished speaking, he said apologetically: "Second sister, don't worry, it was just because the third sister and I were in a hurry. Don't worry, second sister, if you really didn't inflict this poison, my mother will not wrongly accuse you."
When Su Xiyue heard this, the implication was that if it was found that you had actually administered the poison, then just wait!
Su Lian's words were praised by the other two ladies. They secretly thought that the eldest lady was kind-hearted! But Mrs. Dingguo didn't think so! This eldest lady was more thoughtful than the third lady.
A lot! It sounds like these words are for the sake of the second young lady. Don’t wrong her! But in her opinion, this was clearly a game set up from the beginning, specifically targeting the second young lady. If she guessed
That's right. The results of the investigation later will definitely point to this second young lady! In this way, what she said now is clearly a trap set to prove her crime later! It shows that
As the eldest sister, she is considerate and protective of her younger sister, which will leave Su Xiyue speechless for a while!
Mrs. Dingguo couldn't help but feel a little worried! Can the little girl in front of her really have a way to deal with it? Looking at the aggrieved look on her face now, she looks like she has nothing to say! Such a little girl, in such a big place,
How do you survive in a houfu?
Mrs. Dingguo was worried about this, so she looked at Su Xiyue carefully. She saw that she was very beautiful and had a good figure, but she was just a little thin! There was a layer of mist on her eyes, and she looked like
It’s even more adorable! It makes people love her!
Look at her long dress again. Although there is nothing wrong with the style, the material is so good! Mrs. Dingguo's eyebrows furrowed slightly. The dress of this second young lady really does not look like that of a concubine of the Marquis!
While he was looking at it, a woman from outside came in and replied, "Back to Madam, I have checked carefully. The two girls who cooked tea today are still the same two girls who served Madam before. It's just..." As he said this, he felt a little confused.
He stuttered and glanced at Su Xiyue standing aside.
Mrs. Dingguo secretly screamed, her heart tightened, and she blurted out, "Just what?"
"It's just that this tea is not used by Madam on weekdays, but was sent by the Second Miss, and the tea set used today was also brought here by the Second Miss herself."
