Seeing the injuries on Zhang Huizhen's body, Mrs. Gu felt heartbroken. The mother and daughter discussed it until Yuan Yibin came to pick him up in the evening.
From the return home, we can also see Yuan Yibin's perfunctory treatment of Gu's mother and daughter. On the way back, Zhang Huizhen was relatively silent, and did not say something about Hu's harsh treatment of her as usual. Yuan Yibin looked at her several times and said, "My mother
She has higher requirements for her daughter-in-law. If you listen to her and get along with her for a long time and develop feelings for her, things will be fine in the future."
Zhang Huizhen lowered her eyes to cover up the sarcasm in her eyes. That woman was like a mad dog, trying to cause trouble no matter what. Anyway, she was no longer serving her, "Cousin, next month is my father's 40th birthday. Let's prepare one."
Give me a gift."
Yuan Yibin nodded, "It should be."
His face and tone were cold.
Zhang Huizhen lowered his head again.
Yuan Lizong was forty years old. Although he did not deliberately inform outsiders, everyone in the city knew it. Therefore, many relatives of the Yuan family came to visit.
The Yuan family has been rich for hundreds of years, and has some connections with everyone who has a good reputation in the city. Although it is not a big event, it still has to prepare a dozen banquets.
The last time the happy event was completed without any risk, this time she replaced some capable people and was able to let go a little bit. She didn't care much about the things in the kitchen and could take time to chat with the guests.
The people who came back this time were all about the same age as Yuan Lizong. Rong Piao had been keeping a low profile over the years and had only recently taken charge of the family. The ladies outside also began to know her. Chu Yunli sat in the room, listening to the women around him complimenting each other.
The appearance, the clothes, the son and the daughter-in-law... are a bit boring.
Yuan Lizong was her stepfather, who had raised Liu Yuehe for ten years. If she didn't come back today, she would definitely be blamed for raising an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.
After thinking about it, she stood up and planned to go to Ronghe Garden to have a look. Anyway, she couldn't hide when she came back. She had to go there sooner or later.
She hasn't come back recently, but she still knows some things about her family. For example, after the old lady lost the right to run the family, she felt unwell every three days. Unfortunately, the more she became like this, the more Yuan Lizong became disappointed with her, and the relationship between mother and daughter became more and more intense.
Strange. Speaking of which, the old lady must have become more and more disgusted with Rong Piao recently. If it wasn't so boring there, Chu Yunli wouldn't want to come.
They all arrived at the door. After thinking about it, Chu Yunli still didn't go in, so she sat in the pavilion in the garden. It had been quite cool recently with a few autumn rains.
Not long after we sat down, we saw Mrs. Hu arriving with Zhang Huizhen. After seeing Chu Yunli in the pavilion, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled, inviting her to come in with them.
It's also good to go in together. At least after the old lady focuses her energy on the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she probably won't have time to talk to her anymore.
She did not refuse at the moment. Zhang Huizhen said with a smile, "My sister lives a free life. There are no elders around her to restrain her. She can do whatever she wants. By the way, you haven't served tea to the Qi family yet? Is this on the family tree? I'll follow you.
He said, I have heard of someone who, after having a wife, went to another place to pretend that he was not married, and deceived a young girl into becoming a concubine...Sister, you have to be careful."
Mrs. Hu was very pleased with what she said, and her smile deepened. She took her hand and walked into the house together.
Chu Yunli laughed. The situation mentioned by Zhang Huizhen might happen, but it would never be Qi Feng. However, there was no need to argue with her about it. He then said, "Is it convenient for my sister-in-law to live in the Hu family? If you are not used to it,
It's better to move back. Grandma loves you the most. She has been ill recently. If you can take care of her, maybe she won't need to take medicine."
She was smiling and smiling, and she couldn't be more sincere.
In fact, these words pierced Zhang Huizhen's heart like a sharp knife. After hearing these words, his already painful heart felt a dull pain.
Before she got married, she thought that the ideal life would be to spend time with the old lady every day. Especially in the past month of being "taught" by Mr. Hu, she missed spending time with the old lady even more.
If she had a choice, she wouldn't want to stay with Mr. Hu!
The old lady calmed down a bit and saw the three people entering the door. She smiled and said, "Huizhen is here. I thought you had forgotten me, an old woman."
As for the two people next to her, she ignored them.
After sitting down, the maid from Rongheyuan came forward to serve tea. Zhang Huizhen smiled and said, "I also made some snacks, specially prepared for grandma, everyone can try them."
The maid behind her came out and handed over the food box in her hand.
Judging from the posture, he actually wanted a servant of the Yuan family to give it to him. There was nothing wrong with this book. It had already been done and he just took it out. But Chu Yunli saw that Zhang Huizhen's left hand was a little tight, as if he was very nervous.
nervous?
The old lady did not doubt that he was there and motioned to the old lady beside her to get it. Chu Yunli lowered her eyes and said with a smile, "This is my sister-in-law's wish and no one else should interfere."
Zhang Huizhen's smile froze, "It doesn't matter, as long as grandma already knows that I did it." After saying this, he motioned to the maid to give the food box to the mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law had already taken the food box and opened it. There were three plates, and even Chu Yunli got one. She smiled and twisted it, pretending to eat it, but when she put it to her lips, she paused slightly, and then frowned.
.
The old lady had already taken a bite, and when she saw Chu Yunli's behavior underneath, it seemed as if the snack was not ready. She snorted coldly, "Forget it if you don't like it, why are you acting like this?"
The old lady loves Zhang Huizhen the most. No matter how delicious the food she makes is, she is still filial, so how can she be disliked by others?
Chu Yunli put down the snack and said hesitantly, "This snack has a weird smell and seems to be poisonous..."
Hearing that it was poisonous, Zhang Huizhen suddenly tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
Mrs. Hu saw that the old lady was angry and wanted to give it a try regardless of whether it tasted good or not. She opened her mouth to bite it. When she heard this, she threw the snack away in a hurry and said, "Let the doctor take a look!"
In fact, the Gu mother and daughter had done something before, so it was not unusual for them to poison again.
The old lady was even more displeased, "What doctor are you looking for? Huiru made me snacks, how could they be poisonous? If you don't like eating them, just keep them for the old lady!"
Chu Yunli simply put down the snack in her hand and said, "Grandma, you'd better find a doctor to take a look."
The old lady frowned, "What do you mean?"
Chu Yunli spread her hands and ignored her.
After this experience, the atmosphere in the room was condensed. Seeing that Mr. Hu refused to eat, Zhang Huizhen smiled and said, "Mom, please try it. Do you think this is poisonous?"
Mrs. Hu waved her hand, "I'm not hungry!"
Zhang Huizhen: "..."
She was about to eat just now, but she felt less hungry after hearing the other person's words. It was obvious that she was suspicious of her.
However, she was afraid that Ms. Hu would be rescued after taking it, and the dose of the drug was so heavy that there was basically no chance of her being rescued if she got it. If it didn't work this time, Ms. Hu would become suspicious again, and she would want to take action again in the future.
It's not easy. She pursed her lips and looked disappointed, "Mom, I know you don't like me, but I've tried my best. I actually made this snack for you, but I'm afraid you won't
Eat, then..."
Mrs. Hu frowned.
The old lady finished eating one piece, and the person who gave me the honor picked up another piece. Seeing her beloved junior being so willing to compromise, she helped, "Shuang'er, it tastes good, try it!"
Mrs. Hu really didn't want to eat it, but she had to give it to the old lady. She thought that no matter how crazy Zhang Huizhen was, she wouldn't poison the old lady... Then she slowly picked it up, and when she was about to enter, she saw Chu Yunli holding it opposite her.
The handkerchief carefully wiped the finger that had just touched the snack, and immediately threw the snack back without hesitation, "Don't eat it! I'm really not hungry!"
The old lady was dissatisfied and ate another piece, "The ones made by Huizhen can also poison people..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she held her stomach in pain, "Please...doctor..." As she spoke, more and more black blood rolled down her lips.
Mrs. Hu jumped up and said, "The old lady has been poisoned, please call a doctor quickly."
There was a sudden chaos inside and outside the house.
Chu Yunli stepped forward and scratched the old lady's throat with a spoon, causing her to vomit continuously. The snacks she had just eaten were mixed with black blood foam, and filthy vomited all over the floor.
Such a big movement in Ronghe Garden alarmed the owner and guests in the front yard. Not long after, Yuan Lizong came with Rong Piao.
While the doctor was making diagnosis and treatment, Yuan Lizong was furious, "How could my mother be poisoned? What did she eat before?"
Zhang Huizhen knelt down, "Father, grandma ate the snacks I brought...but I made the snacks with my own hands. From kneading the dough to shaping, there was no artificial hand, so there must be no problem. I will not poison your love in any way."
I am very kind to my grandmother."
Mrs. Hu frowned. Zhang Huizhen was her daughter-in-law. Although she didn't like it, she still wanted to share it with others and said, "But when we got here, it was the old woman who brought her here."
The mother-in-law is no longer here!
Yuan Lizong shouted, "Go and look for me immediately!" Then he ordered the steward, "When you go to the front yard to see off guests, say that something happened at home and you did not treat the guests well. I will apologize one by one another day."
The old lady was unconscious. A quarter of an hour later, the old lady, who had packed her bags and was about to run away, was brought to the main hall of Ronghe Garden!
The mother-in-law said nothing, and Yuan Lizong, in a rage, directly ordered someone to beat her until she was willing to speak.
The mother-in-law was beaten until she vomited blood and suddenly shouted, "Madam, please help me!"
Rong Piao was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was being called. She pointed her index finger at her nose in disbelief, "Call me?"
Yuan Lizong looked at his wife next to him and his mother-in-law with an extremely cold look, as if looking at a dead person, "If you dare to bite my wife indiscriminately, you will be punished by an additional degree. If you don't do it seriously, everyone in your family will be killed with a cane!"
"
The mother-in-law fainted directly, not knowing whether she was frightened or in pain.
"If you hit me any more, someone will be killed." Madam Hu said, "The snack just now was poisonous when Yue He smelled it and was unwilling to eat it. Could it be that he knew it in advance..."
Chu Yunli laughed angrily, "Don't I have a good nose? If I hadn't reminded you, you would be half dead by now. The person they really want to poison may be you, and you are still helping to cover it up."
Mrs. Hu was startled and looked at Zhang Huijing in disbelief.
Rong Piao scolded, "What are you talking about?"
Chu Yunli didn't talk back and stood aside.
Yuan Lizong was furious. The woman who had been in charge of the Yuan family's backyard for decades was actually poisoned in her own yard. What else could the person behind the scenes not dare to do?
"Go get her family!"
In fact, someone had already gone to find her, and a middle-aged couple and two children under ten years old were quickly brought over.
Yuan Lizong sneered, "Throw people awake." Then he pointed at the five or six-year-old boy, "If she doesn't do it, beat her to death first!"
The middle-aged couple turned pale with fear and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.
Yuan Lizong said coldly, "Please me? It's you who have the intention to harm others, I just want the truth! As long as she is willing to recruit, you will be fine!"
His voice was as cold as ice. Zhang Huizhen bit her lip and trembled slightly.
