C13 (2/2)
”There's a lot. Didn't you give me another bowl this afternoon? I was just worried that I wouldn't have a place to pour it. Why would you …”
Gu Yun smirked. ”Wrap it up and show it to the old man, then bring him a bowl of this medicine wine. Just fill it up with a little bamboo. If there's more, we can't give it to him.
Zhao Zhang was at a loss, he could only memorize every word, and quickly left the house.
When Xie Jingxi accompanied Lady Xu back to the manor, it was already past noon. Xie Jingxi went back to her room and asked Ming Yu: Is the matter settled?
Ming Yu took out three layers, three layers, and three layers of medicinal dregs from her bag, ”Hey, I haven't vomited all this way. What exactly did this young master drink?”
Xie Jingxi rolled his eyes at her, ”You have so many things to say, how can there be medicine that smells good?”
Xie Jingxi took out the medicinal dregs and placed them on the table. She separated them into different categories based on their taste, and carefully distinguished every type of medicine, Ming Yu watched curiously by the side. She did not see any reason, she did not even know when the young miss had added the ability to differentiate medicine. In the end, she saw Xie Jingxi picking out some dregs from the dregs that looked exactly the same to her. It was pitch black as she said, ”What kind of girl is this, could it be that she can really clash with our medicinal wine?”
Xie Jingxi smiled and did not speak. She had guessed correctly, her brother's death was indeed not an accident. As for the red lines around her eyes, it was actually not a deep red, but a little green and black instead. Xie Jingxi intentionally said this because she was afraid that the wet nurse would not be able to see the color clearly in her panic. It was just that the color was a little dark, and it would be easy to mislead her if she said that it was green and black.
Therefore, even if someone found out about it later, they would not be able to detect anything amiss. However, the person who placed the medicine on them probably did not expect Xie Jingqi to hug his big brother for so long that he would not be able to retrieve the grave. Some characteristics that would only be discovered a few hours after death were seen by her.
If it was used on Gu Yun's medicine, it would be normal. But if the child were to drink it, the child would have a stronger body and would be able to rescue her in time. There would probably be some hope of survival.
Even the methods used were so ingenious that they were hard to detect, but was this person's goal Xie Family or was it Marquis Mansion? With such meticulous thought, who exactly was it that did this?
Xie Jingxi remained quiet, but the Marquis Mansion was not that quiet. It was unknown which ignorant girl spoke to the Second Young Madam on the premise that things like how it was strange for Big Brother to go and whether the medicine that the wet nurse drank would be alright. With Xie Jingqi's temper, it was natural that they would not be able to let go of each other. Gu Heng almost died from anger, and on the spot, he sent the talkative girl to the manor.
Gu Heng had finally calmed Xie Jingqi down, and after getting provoked by a little girl, he almost wanted to hit a few of them to vent his anger. Amidst his anger, he vaguely remembered that Xie Jingxi had reminded him about it that day, and after hearing that she and the young lady had asked the young mistress about it, he felt that there really was something going on, so he called a attendant in front of him and said, ”Go and take a look at the Xie Clan, there's still a master who can speak, it's good to come over and persuade Second Young Madam.”
The attendant quickly went to the Xie Clan. Xie Cen was not at home, and the Lady Xu was resting, as if the only person he could find was the Third Miss. Then, the attendant could no longer care about whether the Third Miss was reliable or not.
After Xie Jingxi heard this, she raised her eyelids, and continued flipping through the books in her hands, ”Go tell the gatekeeper that I'm resting now that I'm tired.”
After the messenger left, Ming Yu said: ”Young miss has done a good job. The Gu family's business, it doesn't matter to us. Moreover, Second young miss is not a person who values favors. If you go, you might even get scolded by her.”
Xie Jingxi just did not want to see Gu Heng, not to mention the matters in his room, what did it matter if she went.
As expected, when Gu Heng heard this, he felt a little disappointed. In the end, he was the one who had been selfish enough to want to see her, but it was not appropriate at all.
If it was said that Gu Heng was like a frosted eggplant after the incident with her big brother, and had gone from a proud and high-spirited young master to a grieving wife in one night, then Second Young Mistress's energy was like someone who had eaten all kinds of tonics. It looked more like the effects of the Soul-Returning Pill that she had given birth to still remained.
”Whatever you do, stop me!” If my Marquis Mansion is clean, then why are you afraid of others investigating it for you? My big brother was fine yesterday, how did he suddenly disappear, do you think that I, Xie Jingqi, am dead?
Xie Jingqi had just posted a whole round of questions in the afternoon, and her power was still there. She had smashed all the broken bottles on the floor, and no one dared to step forward, afraid that they would be like the Second Branch Fourth Miss, dragged into the mess.
”It's alright, what are you doing!?” That little girl, who knows who sent her to sow discord, but you actually believed her. If you want to investigate, then do it. What are you doing throwing things around! ”
