Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 210

Because the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion handed over the formula of Mi Die Qixiang without tampering with it, the old doctor Xu easily found the source of the cold poison. He shook his head and sighed and said: "If the person who wrote this formula is proficient in pharmacology, It is really very poisonous. Mixing vanilla and red orchid root can produce cold poison. Most doctors really don’t know that. My master also discovered it accidentally. However, medicinal herbs rarely use medicinal herbs, let alone mixed with red orchid root. Langan used it together.”

Xiang Junran repeatedly echoed: "What the old doctor said is absolutely true. Speaking of it, the incense makers in the incense shop are really innocent. Don't talk about me. Even if my father got this incense recipe, he probably wouldn't be able to see the problem and would only think about it. Is it such a strange combination that allows the ointment to change into a variety of fragrances and the fragrance lasts for a long time?" He was being self-effacing. Everyone knew that Young Master Xiang's incense making skills were not as good as Master Xiang's. It could even be said that Worse than that.

Everyone in the lobby and the people watching outside the hall (the case had such great impact that the court ordered a public trial) were all shocked, and they were whispering and talking: Can't you see, two aunts who were born as maids are so powerful?Even more powerful than the head of an incense-making family!

"Pa—" Magistrate Lin knocked on the gavel and shouted twice, "Quiet! Quiet!" The government officials on both sides also responded in unison with "Wei - Wu -" in a well-trained voice, and the scene became quiet.

Niu Sanliangkouzi and Xiu Niang who were kneeling below were all pale-faced and trembling uncontrollably. Only Ruxia played with a red rope in her hands with great interest, occasionally shouting "Xiangxiang, Qixiang,... Mine, it's mine, hey hey hey", showing his madness and stupidity.

Marquis Qiu Yiran was with him, and he had a chair to sit on. He looked calm, but in fact his hands and feet were weak, his back was wet with cold sweat, and more importantly, he was embarrassed.He was originally the youngest Marquis of the dynasty, and he should have been high-spirited, waiting for the opportunity to show off his talents and become famous. Unexpectedly, his ambition was not fulfilled, and he became a "person in the hall" first.

Seeing Pan Jiaming, who was younger than him, sitting next to Magistrate Lin in the court, Qiu Yiran felt even more embarrassed and jealous. The emperor's imperial edict clearly emphasized that Pan Jiaming, the British prince, happened to be in Luo City, so Pan Jiaming would act as his representative. I am attending the hearing to show my concern for the case.

They are all children of aristocratic families and heirs to princes. Except for having a queen and aunt, how is Qiu Yiran any worse than that dandy who has no knowledge and skills and only knows how to fight and ride horses?Alas, it can only be said that the same people have different fates!
Magistrate Lin patted the gavel again and shouted angrily: "Mr. Niu, Mister Li (the real name of Aunt Xiu is Li), this vicious Butterfly Seven Fragrance came from your hands. You... uh... Mister Li, you gave me Please explain, what is your motive for doing this, or is it someone's instruction? Recruit truthfully, and don't hide anything." The most poisonous heart of women, these two women will do anything to make money, no wonder the eldest niece of the Yin family will drive them away come out.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ruxia, who was so frightened by Jingtangmu just now that she was lying on the ground and sobbing, suddenly jumped up happily again: "Qixiang, mine, give me some silver, lots and lots of silver."

The little maid from the Ning family who accompanied Ruxia was so frightened that she quickly hugged her and pulled her to kneel down with all her strength: "Auntie, be good, kneel down quickly, I will buy you osmanthus cake later."

"Osmanthus cake? It's delicious! I kneel down, I kneel down, hehehe." Ruxia nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, her beautiful eyes smiled crookedly, and there was a ball of sparkling liquid flowing down from the corner of her mouth, maid He quickly wiped her with the handkerchief, looking like he was not surprised.

Everyone was sighing, forgetting that she was the main culprit, and just felt pitiful. She was so young and beautiful, would she be like this for the rest of her life?Fortunately, Mr. Ning is a good man and is willing to support her.

Aunt Xiu's eyes widened. Only now did she truly believe that Ruxia was indeed crazy!I couldn't help but regret it. If I hadn't encouraged Qiu Yiran to send Ru Xia to Ning Mansion, would Ru Xia not be crazy?Now she doesn't need to face the prefect's interrogation alone?Isn't Ruxia the culprit behind the so-called "imitation" of Mi Die Qixiang?At best, she is just an accomplice!At this moment, Aunt Xiu really wished she was crazy too, as long as she didn't drool in public.

Niu San and his wife were also dumbfounded. Ru Xia, who had been beautiful and arrogant since she was a child and was more image-conscious than ordinary ladies, was drooling over a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of everyone?What surprised them even more was that such a crazy and stupid daughter could make Mr. Ning threaten them with his son's family treasure and take all the blame for Ruxia.

It has to be said that what Niu San and his wife, as well as Aunt Xiu, envy the most at the moment is Ru Xia, who is crazy and ignorant of the world. What they regret the most is letting Ru Xia enter the Ning family.

"Ms. Li, why don't you answer my question?" Magistrate Lin became impatient, "Isn't this the place where you can pretend to be dumbfounded in the lobby? What are you doing? Niu San, you call me first! Then delay them one by one. If you delay, I will serve you with severe punishment!" Are you stunned just now?Women just can't get on the stage, dare to do it but don't deserve it!
Waiting for the execution?Niu San, who was secretly regretting it, suddenly heard his name, and then heard the words "Da Xing Waiting". He almost peed with fright, "叵叵叵" and kowtowed: "My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me, Mi Die Qixiang is so beautiful." Qixiang is not an imitation, it is the original recipe of Jiaoyan Qixiang. It is the secret recipe of my cousin Grandma Liu that my daughter Ruxia stole from Miss Yin Zhiruoyin. Our whole family does not understand fragrance, how can we know Jiaoyan Qixiang? Chixiang is poisonous!”

Niu San poured out everything he had thought up in prison. He didn't want to take the blame for that unlucky evil girl, right?However, he did not dare to disobey Mr. Ning. Niu Jiabao was his lifeblood and his only hope of becoming an old man in this life!
When Niu San shouted, "Our family is all slaves, how can we make incense?" Ruxiu secretly said, "It's over!" The reason why she didn't answer in time just now was that she was shocked by Ruxia's saliva. Second, I was thinking about what Young Master Xiang and Dr. Xu said.Unexpectedly, she finally found out the "reason" that was beneficial to her and Ruxia. Just when she was about to reply, Master Lin turned to Niu San impatiently, and Niu San poured the beans directly into the bamboo tube without thinking.During this period, Niu San and his wife and all the craftsmen in Zuixiangfang were controlled by the government. How could they know what was happening outside? How could they know that Yin Zhiruo had been guarding against them?

Sure enough, as soon as Niu San finished speaking, Magistrate Lin snorted coldly: "What? When you were making money, you tried your best to emphasize that you copied it yourself, but now when there is a problem, you say it was stolen. Do you want Miss Yin to take the blame for you? To put it bluntly, even if it was stolen, your daughter burned it even though she was worried about the secret recipe, and your daughter still deceived the master and secretly hid it, who is to blame?"

Everyone is talking a lot again, right?As soon as Miss Yin got the secret recipe, she asked Niu Ruxia to cook it. This was confirmed by the capital city who sent people to the Xu Mansion. Miss Yin thought she knew nothing about the fragrant recipe and was unwilling to covet other people's ancestral information. Secret recipe, you are a maid, but you have the ambition to deceive the master. Now the suffering is regarded as retribution, right?As the old saying goes, doesn’t it mean that if you don’t retaliate, the time has not yet come?
Niu Sanyi was startled. Just as he was about to argue a few more words, Magistrate Lin continued: "Besides, the real Jiaoyan Qixiang has no cold poison at all. You just take a house and say it is the stolen Jiaoyan Qixiang recipe." Sir, do people have to believe it? Dr. Xu, Mr. Xiang, please explain the results of your examination to everyone. Mr. Xiang nodded. He is a junior, so naturally he has to be more diligent. He will only ask Dr. Xu if necessary. The supplement is: "Old doctor Xu and I have already examined Jiaoyan Qixiang, who was sent by the Yin family to help investigate the case.I used our perfumer's special fragrance testing method. Although I couldn't determine the ratio of various ingredients in the balm, I could still easily confirm that it contained vanilla and no red orchid root.At the same time, the old doctor Xu and the other three doctors who came with him also tested it on the female prisoners who were preparing to be executed in the prison. The box of Jiaoyan Qixiang did not have cold poison. "

There was an uproar inside and outside the hall: "Jiaoyan Qixiang is really not poisonous!", "Is it true? It can't be fake, and it can't be true.", "That's right, it seems like they really have hidden the secret recipe. , I’m afraid I also deliberately added those red orchid roots that can produce cold poison, it’s so abominable!” “Miss Yin must have discovered the bad conduct of this family early, and then drove them out of Meizhuang.”…

Niu San and his wife were completely confused. Yin Zhiruo handed over a box of Jiao Yan Qixiang to the prefect's Yamen for inspection?Why?Where did it come from?No, it seems that before they prepared to open Zuixiangfang, they did hear Ruxia say that Princess Qianxin did not want to use the Jiao Yan Qixiang given by Liu, so she gave it to Yin Zhiruo, but Yin Zhiruo didn't like it either, so she kept throwing it in the corner of the dowry box. , until he gave it to Yin Zhiqing before coming to Luocheng.Ruxia was still complaining, saying that Yin Zhiruo was so stupid in the past, and even Yin Zhiqing's small tricks often succeeded in front of her, why did she suddenly become smarter when she came to Luo City.

Since she gave it to Yin Zhiqing, why does Yin Zhiruo still have the beautiful Qixiang in her hand?Want to come back?is it possible?Even if Yin Zhiruo spares his face, the second wife of the Yin family still wishes that Yin Zhiruo would be involved in the poisonous balm case, so why would he give it to him?Besides, Yin Zhiqing is such a vain and beautiful person. The two boxes of balm have been used up by now, right?
Could it be that Yin Zhiruo had hidden his clumsiness a long time ago, or that he knew at that time that the Niu family intended to redeem himself and train Niu Jiabao to take the imperial examination, so he hid everything from Ru Xia?Those two boxes of balm were not given to Yin Zhiqing at all.

Niu San was desperate. The plan he finally came up with was shattered in the blink of an eye?Are they destined to bear the blame?Will he beheaded?Or exiled?

Aunt Xiu was also at a loss. She didn't know whether she should be thankful that she realized the futility of "admitting to stealing the secret recipe" in time, so that she didn't make a fool of herself in public, or she should lament her bad luck, because she had found a reason that could possibly reduce her guilt. , but was destroyed by Niu San.If you retort now, who will believe it again?It's unlikely that he would be given an additional penalty for "repeating and disturbing the court".Didn't Magistrate Lin just want to punish them severely because of their "procrastination"?

What Aunt Xiu didn't know was that she and Qiu Yiran really had a good understanding this time.

Qiu Yiran was also feeling frustrated at the moment, wishing he could rush up and kick Niu Sanyi.Like Aunt Xiu, he thought of the best reason to reduce his guilt after Young Master Xiang and Old Doctor Xu said those words for the first time: Since the No. [-] incense-making family didn't know the effects of mixing the two herbs, Even many doctors don't know about the cold poison produced. How could Ru Xiu, who so-called "fiddle with it on his own" like Ru Xia, rely entirely on his ability to smell fragrance to help Ru Xia with the trouble, know?Therefore, although the Seven Fragrances of Lost Butterflies have cold poison, Ruxia and Ruxiu did not do so intentionally, and those who do not know are not guilty.

When they opened the store, they made it clear early on that Ru Xia and Ru Xia just liked it, so they "copied" it. They knew clearly that the incense was made by Ru Xia and Ru Xia, who were half-monastics. Are the people who bought and used it careless?For example, in the Qingyuan Hou Mansion itself, not only several female relatives were infected by the cold poison, but the Tai Madam's favorite granddaughter and the only legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion suffered the most severe cold.

Qiu Yiran was very confident that by playing this card, not only could Ru Xia and Aunt Xiu's guilt be alleviated, but their house would be less affected by this incident and gain some sympathy points.

It's a pity that God is not willing to help him. When Niu San kowtowed and begged for mercy, he secretly sighed.

"No, no," Niu San's daughter-in-law suddenly shouted crazily, "Our family, Ruxia, has been serving Yin Zhiruo since she was a child. How could she not know whether Ruxia can make incense? Yin Zhiruo must have known that recipe for a long time. There was a problem, so that's why Ruxia was allowed to burn it, wasn't it? She knew clearly that Ruxia couldn't make incense, and that there was something wrong with the secret recipe, but she didn't say anything or stand up to stop her when the incense was made and sold in the incense workshop. She was the one who saved it. Those with evil intentions are the real culprits."

Both Qiu Yiran and Aunt Xiu's eyes lit up: I couldn't tell that at the critical moment, Niu San's daughter-in-law was still smarter than Niu San. For this reason, it was really possible to involve Yin Zhiruo.

Qiu Yiran's head turned quickly and she quickly put on a very guilty look: "It's all my fault. If our house hadn't offended Miss Yin, she wouldn't have watched the cold-toxic Mi Die Qixiang. On the market. Moreover, I did not check carefully. I heard my grandmother say that Niu Ruxia and Xiu Auntie made the imitation by themselves, so I believed it. If I knew the cause and effect, I would at least be suspicious and remind my grandmother to ask a famous doctor to verify it before making the incense. Selling it will prevent us from causing the current situation, which has harmed so many innocent people, including my most beloved biological sister."

Because Meizhuang provided Jiaoyan Qixiang, she was also invited to listen in the hall.At this moment, Uncle Qiang, who was sitting next to him, was almost furious. How could there be such a shameless family?When did the eldest girl and the Yin family treat them badly?Knowing that it is impossible to escape the crime now, he still viciously wants to put the blame on the girl and involves the girl. It is simply a wolf-hearted thing!

"Hahahaha" but there was an "untimely" burst of laughter in the hall.
