Chapter 695 Poisoning (Part [-])
Su Yueling was quite satisfied watching the fun through the system.

It's just that she didn't expect that the couple still refused to give up until now, and were even willing to spend money to rent a nearby house.This street can be said to be the safest area in the capital. Even for a small and dilapidated courtyard, the monthly rent would start from five taels of silver—ordinary people would not bear it.And this money, Qian Dong and Liang Shi really paid for it.When they sold Shengnan back then, the money they got was only three taels of silver.The couple had nothing to gain, and if they didn't have a bigger plan, how could they be willing to pay the money.

Recalling what they once said, they found a marriage for Shengnan... I'm afraid the reason is because of this marriage.

Sheng Nan is the first-class maid beside her, and Su Yueling often takes her with her when she goes in and out, so she has an unusual status in her yard.If it is not complete, someone will fall in love with her and is willing to pay a high dowry to marry her.Because he was not sure that Su Yueling would agree, he approached Qian Dong and Liang Shi.After all, there are very few children who cut off their parents these days.If it weren't for Katsuo's lack of affection for his biological parents, this method might really be successful.

Su Yueling thought for a while, and asked people to follow the couple directly. It would be even better if they could get along with them.She also wrote a letter to be sent to Dingnan Prefecture, asking the elder of the White Lotus Sect in charge of Dingnan Prefecture to investigate this matter.In the past two years, the White Lotus Sect has been developing in a low-key manner, and because the members of the sect are all women and come from three sects, it is even easier to inquire about news than the government.

On the contrary, Katsuo didn't seem to be affected by this incident, and even picked a few patterns for himself, planning to embroider a few purses to pass the time.

Because Sheng Nan didn't go out on weekdays, and Qian Dong and Liang Shi didn't dare to get too close to the Princess Mansion, they could only stare from a distance.The expenses in the capital are so high, the husband and wife see the money slipping through their hands day by day, but they can't even see their daughter, so don't worry about it.But now they have no other choice but to wait.

During this period, the Cui family also had a lively incident.

Yuan Suijun had asked someone to mention Cui Yafeng and the wives of the Cui family's family property to Rongying, the former eldest princess.

Rong Ying, who was being exiled, was furious, and wanted to write a letter to scold her granddaughter and these daughters-in-law.

As a result, before the letter was finished, Rong Ying almost ate a meal mixed with poison, which made her break out in a cold sweat.After the panic, there was overwhelming anger.So she wrote another letter.The new letter is addressed to the emperor.

Although the emperor announced that Rong Ying would be removed from the royal family, the officials guarding her really didn't dare to ignore her request, and the letter was sent to the capital immediately.

The queen mother called Su Yueling into the palace and showed her the letter.

The queen mother said with emotion: "She has the idea of ​​dissipating her family property to make up for her mistakes, which shows that she really has the intention of repenting."

Su Yueling looked at the letter, and Rong Ying said in the letter that she had deeply realized the wishful thinking of her previous thoughts, and regretted that she had harmed innocent families, so she decided to use her property in the capital to build a medical clinic for the poor. They see a doctor.

The queen mother said: "It is inconvenient for me and Xiang'er to go out from time to time. I am afraid that the people below will cheat and fill their own pockets after taking the money. So thinking that Yue Ling is used to you in this area, this matter will be left to you. You do it."

Su Yueling suddenly realized, no wonder she was asked to enter the palace.She responded immediately, "This is a good thing, and I am naturally duty bound."

Anyway, she now has a lot of capable people, so she can leave this matter to them.

The eldest princess probably didn't want the money to be cheap for her daughters-in-law, and also wanted to retreat to win the royal family's sympathy, so she gave up such a large sum of money.

She asked, "Who poisoned her?" Su Yueling had some guesses about this in her heart, but there was no evidence, so it was hard to say.

There was a slight disgust in the Queen Mother's eyes, "The person who poisoned himself committed suicide, and there is no clue for now."

Su Yueling said: "This matter should also be known to Yafeng and the wives of the Cui family."

The Empress Dowager said: "I have already asked them to enter the palace."

The Empress Dowager's feelings for Cui Yafeng are no longer the sympathy and pity she had at the beginning... Although the Empress Dowager usually doesn't use her brain very much, there are many good people around her.After being reminded by the people around, the queen mother also realized that Cui Yafeng was using her to benefit herself.If she really wanted to atone for her grandmother's sins, she should spend real money to do practical things, instead of doing some painless behaviors like copying Buddhist scriptures.Especially the fact that the other party competed with Cui Wang and others for property made her feel even more uncomfortable.

What she was fighting for was not her own family property, but Rong Ying's.Rong Ying is not dead yet, these juniors are so unscrupulous.

Because she was annoyed that she was fooled by a junior, and she lost her sight, the queen mother didn't summon Cui Yafeng again during this time.

Su Yueling also guessed a thing or two from the Queen Mother's tone.Holding a mug, she slowly drank herbal tea.

This mug was made by her specially made by the official kiln. Compared with the mugs of this era, she is more used to using mugs.

When the scented tea was almost half drunk, Cui Yafeng and the three wives of the Cui family all entered the palace.

Cui Wangshi, Cui Zhaoshi and Cui Youshi were a little excited. They have been in Beijing for a while, but they have not been summoned by the queen mother and queen.Today is still the first day.

Compared with them, Cui Yafeng was obviously much more nervous.Every time she submitted a post before, she always got a reply.This time, there was no audio.Cui Yafeng couldn't help wondering if the queen mother had started to dislike her, and she was able to gain a foothold in Beijing now because the queen mother treated her differently.

Cui Yafeng entered the palace this time and brought over the Buddhist sutra screen he made for the queen mother.On the screen was embroidered a volume of the Empress Dowager's favorite scriptures. To take care of the Empress Dowager's eyes, the characters on it were embroidered larger.In order to make this screen as soon as possible, Cui Yafeng didn't have a good rest during this time, his eyes were red from the boil, just like a rabbit.

Cui Wangshi also saw the screen, and couldn't help curling the corners of her lips—a sycophant.

When I was in Cui's house, Cui Yafeng also did embroidery all day long or went to the kitchen to please her mother-in-law, and also liked to "unintentionally" show her fingers that had been pricked or burned red in front of her mother-in-law.Only then did the mother-in-law, who had always been patriarchal, treat her differently, comparing the girls in the other rooms to mud on the ground.Now the object of her favor has changed from her mother-in-law to the queen mother.

Cui Yafeng saluted the queen mother respectfully, and greeted the princess Su Yueling.Cui Wangshi and others are naturally not left behind.

Cui Yafeng looked at the Empress Dowager with admiration, "Mother, this is the screen that Yafeng embroidered recently, if the Empress Dowager can use it when she worships the Buddha, Yafeng's wishes will not be in vain."

The Empress Dowager looked at the screen and said: "There is no need to be so tiring. There is an embroiderer in the palace, so there is no need for you to do these things. It is enough for you to accumulate virtue and kindness on weekdays."

Cui Yafeng only felt that the queen mother's words meant something, and she couldn't hear much joy, so her heart couldn't help shaking.

The queen mother's attitude towards her was much colder than last time.Could it be that someone whispered bad things about her in her ear?
Her gaze fell on Su Yueling involuntarily - is it her?

On the contrary, Cui Wang and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.Previously, the royal family gave Yafeng both the house and the nanny. Seeing that they took good care of Yafeng, they couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, and they didn't dare to push too much during this time.Now seeing that the Queen Mother treats Yafeng only mediocrely, it was estimated that she was just doing superficial work before, so they can feel at ease.

The Empress Dowager glanced over the faces of each of them one by one, "Someone poisoned Rong Ying's food during the exile."
