Chapter 218 Dark under the lamp

 Outside the house, the cold wind rustled.

Lin Yunyan pursed her lips as she listened to the howling wind.

"How did she get sick at that time?" Lin Yunyan asked.

Xu Jian recalled: "The doctor said it was spring cold, which only lasted seven or eight days."

Having said this, Lin Yunyan didn't need to say much to know that Xu Jian had some judgment.

Xu Jian has been asking doctors to take care of his grandma for more than a year, which shows that he is worried, and his worries have gradually turned into doubts.

Although Grandma He is no longer young, she is still tough in action and has a good spirit.

It’s not like she spent many years in a hospital bed and lost her health. Logically speaking, she shouldn’t be cut off by a sudden illness.

Xu Jian lowered her eyes, pondered for a while, and said, "I just didn't expect that she once worked as an errand in the palace."

"If I hadn't tasted her craftsmanship, I wouldn't have imagined it." Lin Yunyan sighed.

Starting all over again, no one must think carefully.

I sorted through the past events over and over again, looking for various ways to break the situation.

But no matter how carefully I get to know her, I can't find a trace of an old lady who has passed away.

The same is true for Xu Jian.

Furthermore, she is used to her current status.

Commonly known as black under the lamp.

"Such an invisible means of harming people," Lin Yunyan's eyes darkened, "could it be the poisonous prescription that killed King Ding and Zhu Xian's mother?"

"It's very possible." Xu Jian said.

At this moment in the past, the British government was still in its glory.

Zhu Cheng obtained two boxes of gold bricks from Laoshi Lane through Li Yuanfa and Xi Dongjia. Zhu Xian's mother was still "sick" and eunuch Wang was still hiding in the dark for six years. No one knew that the Zhu family and his son had had contact with such a person.

.

No one doubted how Zhu Xuan's mother became ill, and no one would link the illness of the female family members in the back house with the death of King Ding.

Everything is under the water.

And Aunt He’s family just left.

"That kind of thing," Lin Yunyan frowned, "how could it be used on a grandma?"

The poison recipe is not complicated at all.

The medicinal materials used are commonly found in drug stores. If you go to the store to buy them on a daily basis, it will not arouse anyone's suspicion. It's just that after mixing, the "miraculous effect" is achieved.

But at that time, the only people who knew about Fang Zi were those in the sixth year of Wang's life. What did they do to Aunt He's family?

Lin Yunyan murmured, asking and answering questions to herself, sorting out her thoughts.

"Perhaps Grandma accidentally discovered something," she paused, then added, "Or maybe they discovered that Grandma had worked in the imperial kitchen and thought she knew something."

The former one is unlikely.

Aunt He's family usually works in the backyard of Taohe Zhai, and her daughter-in-law usually goes out for daily shopping. Occasionally, when she goes out, she bumps into something and finds something, but it's such a coincidence.

The latter type is also difficult to judge.

It has been too long, and even if grandma really knows something, she may not remember it, or in other words, may not care about it.

It's like being in the dark under the lamp, and you won't think about the implications at all.

Or maybe, she actually didn't know anything, but the other party was guilty and thought she had discovered some clues, and Xu Jian went in and out of Taohe Zhai again. Maybe those things would fall into Xu Jian's ears in the end...

Since it’s just a guess, it’s better to guess more thoroughly.

Lin Yunyan finally smiled and said: "Maybe we have overthought it, grandma is really a cold..."

If we try to infer things that happened in the past life but have not yet come in this life, we can only say that no matter how many ideas we have, there are no clues to prove it.

Xu Jian reached out to lift the teapot and refilled a cup of tea with Lin Yunyan.

Then, he said slowly: "There's no point in thinking about the former one. If she goes to Beijing three times next month, she won't be able to meet Wang Liuliu and Zhu Cheng. She may also run into others, but

Unknowable. The latter kind can only let her recall slowly, even the details."

This is the truth.

The two analyzed it for a while. After the dishes were heated in the kitchen, Shenchen brought them over again.

When you cook it again, the taste will naturally be a little different from before, but with good ingredients and good craftsmanship, the taste is still very good.

Or maybe she was hungry after talking about a lot of things, and Lin Yunyan was very satisfied after eating.

Xu Jian warmed a pot of wine and took a sip.

Lin Yunyan put down the bowl and glanced at the wine bottle.

According to what she just watched, Xu Jian was taking his time, eating more vegetables and sipping less wine, and there was probably half of the pot still in it.

And the wine has a floral aroma, so it should be brewed osmanthus wine.

Seeing her eyes falling on the wine pot, Xu Jian raised her eyebrows subconsciously, and spoke slowly and in a light tone: "What? The princess also wants to share a cup?"

Lin Yunyan heard his tone, which was obviously looking for trouble, and replied: "What? The Duke is unwilling to score points?"

"It's just wine, there's nothing to be reluctant to part with," Xu Jian said, but Xu Jian took the wine pot and only added it to his own cup, without taking another cup at all. "I don't dare to share it with the princess. You bring it."

I'll go back to my house with a bit of wine. I'll be visiting you in a few days to pay New Year greetings. It's hard to say whether I can leave my uncle's house standing."

Even if she guessed that Xu Jian didn't have anything "nice to say", Lin Yunyan was still laughed out of anger.

This man's ability to tease is really improving with each passing day.

What kind of drinker does Xu Jian have?

What’s your father’s drinking capacity?

She had heard Shen Chen mention it before, saying that when Xu Jian was fourteen years old, he first entered the battlefield with the old man.

At that time, we were encountering a great war. The Anxi General's Mansion was destroyed. The Zhao family was full of heroes. There was an unyielding determination to retreat on the front line, but the morale of the soldiers was severely affected.

The arrival of the old Lord Guo slightly stabilized the morale of the army, but everyone had their own ideas about young Xu Jian.

He's too immature, and it's really not time for a young man to go into battle.

With such a grandson under his knees, the Xiliang people are coming fiercely, and it is the time when the tide is high. If Xu Jian breaks here, then...

The old man didn't say much and just let Xu Jian fight on her own.

Fight on martial arts on the school field, and compete on drinking ability off the school field.

Some people may not dare to be cruel to Xu Jian when it comes to fists and kicks, but no one will let him drink.

In the end, I am truly convinced and convinced.

Boost your morale with the ferocity of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

It's not that Lin Yunyan is "cowardly", but the level gap is really too big. Even if his father asked the two uncles to join the battle, they couldn't win against Xu Jian.

Why can't Xu Jian leave the uncle's house standing?

It's just that he "respects the elderly" and is "filial".

Tsk!

Just give him some credit.

Xu Jian received a few mild blows to the eyes, then took a sip from the wine cup.

Rubbing the smooth white porcelain with his fingertips, he added: "If you don't taste good in your mouth, there is still sweet soup in the kitchen. Grandma is facing you, so she probably put a lot of sugar on it."

Now that she was at a disadvantage, Lin Yunyan did not insist on regaining the victory.

When Shenchen brought the sweet soup, she tasted it several times in a row. It felt sweet on the tip of her tongue and she felt extremely comfortable.

"I didn't bother to ask before," Lin Yunyan said, "How did your leg get hurt this time?"
