Chapter 4
The next day, after Yunxi got up and packed up, she saw the breakfast delivered by the big kitchen.

Crystal dumplings, eight-treasure wishful cake, and bird's nest porridge are all her favorites.

I couldn't help my appetite, I picked up a crystal dumpling and was about to eat it.

Suddenly Hongyi rushed over and shouted: "Madam, no!"

Yun Xi's hands trembled, and the crystal dumpling fell to the ground.

"Ma'am, this smell is not right, let this maid take a look first!" Said the red dress, stepped forward to sniff the crystal dumpling, and frowned.He smelled the bird's nest porridge again, took a small bite of the eight-treasure wishful cake, and then spit it out, his face was full of anger.

"Ma'am, there are things added to these foods. Eating just one kind of food will have no effect. If you eat all three kinds, you will be poisoned. Although it will not directly kill you, but the poisoned person will gradually become lethargic, and then His health became worse and worse, and then he became bedridden and died of illness slowly, even if the best doctor came to investigate, he could not find out the cause of death."

With a "snap", Yun Xi dropped the chopsticks in his hand, and his face became gloomy.

"I started it so eagerly, I thought it would take a while. If that's the case, then I can't blame me."

Yun Xi sneered and clenched her fists tightly.

Then news came out from Mingyue Pavilion that Yunxi was ill.For three whole months, Mingyue Pavilion closed its doors and no visitors were seen, and maids and mothers-in-law were not allowed to go out casually.Even the meals are cooked in the small kitchen in the courtyard, and Yunxi's personal maid Yingyue is the one who does the shopping.

From the time of illness, Mingyue Pavilion seemed to be separated from the Chen family, and everything was done by itself.

Chen Siyuan wanted to go and see but failed to go in. After a long time, each room became uneasy, and he didn't know what was going on in Mingyue Pavilion.

In Mingyue Pavilion, Yunxi was reading a book quietly, and she just took advantage of this time to take care of her body and do some things of her own.

It was obvious that they were recuperating in the mansion, but secretly they were running outside every day in black and red clothes in disguise, and even the big maids who were close to them didn't know what they were busy with.

"Master, something has moved over there!" Hong Yi said.

Yun Xi doesn't like people calling her madam, and always calls her master when no one is around.

"Okay, finally I can't bear it anymore, be careful and proceed according to the plan." Yun Xi said casually.

At night, Bizhi deliberately dismisses the gatekeeper's mother-in-law, so that they think there is an opportunity.

That night, three people sneaked out of Mingyue Pavilion, one went to Songhe Courtyard, one went to Shen Yuqin's, and one went to Erfang.

After a few people went out for a while, Hongyi took Jingbianhou's post to Jingzhaoyin's mansion.

Mrs. Chen was listening to her servants report about the Mingyue Pavilion, thinking that Yun Xi was really ill, so she was secretly happy.

Not long after Chen Siyuan fell asleep, the housekeeper came to report that someone had come to Jing Zhaoyin's mansion. He was secretly surprised and felt a little uneasy.

"Forgive me, Mr. Chen. Our residence received a report that someone in the residence stole property and poisoned people, so I came here to check." Jing Zhaoyin and Zhang Cheng said politely.

Chen Siyuan was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency may have misunderstood, there is no one in the mansion who seeks money or kills."

Thinking of the letter sent by his niece, Zhang Cheng said with disdain on his face: "Master Chen has the final say on whether there is a misunderstanding. If someone comes to report the case, the government will go to check it immediately. I would like to ask Master Chen to make it easier for me, otherwise the government may I wonder if this matter has something to do with Mr. Chen, I'm afraid Mr. Chen will be uneasy by then."

Seeing Zhang Cheng smiling gently and uttering threatening words.

Chen Siyuan clenched his fists, showing blue veins on his face, but he still held back his breath and said: "Master Zhang was also brought out by his father-in-law! I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this in Chen's residence? It's getting late, and there are still female relatives in the residence. I'm afraid it's not a big deal." convenient!"

"Master Chen doesn't need to use Lord Hou as an issue. Even if this matter is reported to Lord Hou, the government is not afraid. The government handles affairs impartially. Please let Master Chen get out of the way quickly and don't embarrass the government. Otherwise, the government will I did it myself, and it’s no wonder that I ran into the female relatives then!”

Zhang Cheng said this on his lips, but he cursed secretly in his heart, he bullied my niece, and dared to use Master Hou as a shield, idiot!
Helpless, Chen Siyuan had no choice but to order that the personnel of each court were not allowed to walk around casually, and gathered in each court, and Jing Zhao Yin's mansion would come to investigate the case.

A group of people followed the red clothes to the Mingyue Pavilion. When Chen Siyuan entered, he saw a person in white clothes with a simple hosta on his head sitting on a stool in the courtyard, drinking tea carelessly.

Seeing the maid who was kneeling on the ground next to her, Chen Siyuan's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

Hongyi stepped forward and said: "Ma'am, Jing Zhaoyin is here."

Yunxi raised her head and smiled slightly, saluted, and said, "Uncle Zhang, I called you here so late, sorry to bother you."

"Little girl, you have grown up so much in a blink of an eye. I heard that you have something to do. Uncle Zhang will have to get up no matter how late it is!"

Only then did Chen Siyuan realize that these people were called by Yuan Yunxi, and he immediately became dissatisfied. This woman would really cause trouble for him.

What was even more exasperating was that when he found out that Yunxi didn't even look at him, he couldn't help being furious.

Yuan Yunxi has always been trying to please him in every way, even if he just glanced at her, Yuan Yunxi would be very happy.

Although he had to marry Yuan Yunxi for some reason, he never treated her kindly, even ignored her, and that woman was the only one who silently flattered him.

Chen Siyuan enjoyed Yun Xi's attachment very much.

But now he doesn't even look at him, how can he not make Chen Siyuan very annoyed.

Yunxi didn't see him from the beginning to the end.In other words, the current Yun Xi almost forgot what Chen Siyuan looked like, so he didn't pay attention when he entered the door.

Maybe Yunxi would ignore it even if she saw it!Now Chen Siyuan is just a name to her.

Jing Zhaoyin and his party listened to Mama Li's tearful narration.

It turned out that today Yunxi suddenly thought of her mother, so she opened the dowry to find the bracelet that her mother left behind.

But after looking for it, I found that many things were missing. Mother Li found out the list and compared, only to find that many things had been replaced and many things were lost.

The crowd managed to persuade Yun Xi to eat something, but Hong Yi found out that the food was poisonous, so he called Jing Zhaoyin to check it out in a rage.

Chen Siyuan's face turned blue and red after hearing this.He knew his mother's dissatisfaction with Yun Xi, and he just wanted to ignore her, not harm her.Unexpectedly, my mother even made up her mind about her dowry.

After hearing this, Zhang Cheng was furious: "The people who came out of Jingbian Hou's mansion, they dare to bully like this, they dare to treat the eldest lady like this when Lord Hou is not in Beijing, do we think uncles like us are all dead?"

He slapped the table and shouted: "Come here, look for me carefully, and find out those things with dirty hands and feet."

"Yes!" After finishing speaking, the team searched.

Yun Xi was still persuading Zhang Cheng not to get angry, and made tea.Seeing that Zhang Cheng nodded straightly. After all, it is the blood of Mrs. Hou Ye. It is no less courageous than those children.

He knew that today's play was directed by Yunxi, otherwise he would have believed that they bullied Yunxi like this.

In fact, he didn't know that this matter was all true, and those things were really exchanged. In the past, she didn't care and let them go.Now she is unwilling to give them even a thread, and she has to return everything they eat from her.

After a while, someone came to report that something was found in the house of several maids and wives.
