The cat jumped to the ground, sniffed the stubborn face, and with a "meow", when he stuck out his tongue to lick it, Xiao Qiao leaned over and picked it up, then sent it to the door and let it out.

When she raised her head, she glanced at Jiang Li who was waiting in the corridor, took her look into her eyes, then turned around quietly and returned to the house.

The room fell silent.

Zhu shi looked at the lump on the ground among the broken bowls, his face was extremely ugly. She raised her eyes suddenly and looked at Xiao Qiao angrily, as if she was about to have a seizure, but when she forcibly endured it, Zhong Li suppressed her doubts and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things out: "This cat is really naughty and spoiled, It also drilled back and forth on the arm, and just saw it jumped out of its own accord, just overturning the tray. Madam, don’t be surprised.”

Madam Xu glanced at Xiao Qiao. Seeing that her expression was still calm, as if nothing had happened, and she didn't explain anything to Zhu Shi, she felt strange to her abnormal reaction. I just didn't think deeply. Noticing that Zhu Shi's face was extremely ugly, he wanted to have a seizure, but he was only in front of him, so he didn't dare, he sighed secretly, and thought, "The nature of the mind is still biased towards Ezhan," and he said, "That's all, but It's just an inanimate creature. I'll beat it when I hit it. I'll take your heart. Next time I want to eat it, I'll ask you to make it! I'm tired in the morning, so you can go back first."

Zhu Shi secretly hated Xiao Qiao, and suspected that she was deliberately letting the cat overturn her tray so that she would not be filial in front of Mrs. Xu. Only Mrs. Xu said that, her tone was obviously partial, and she was even more indignant. He tried his best to hold back his face, responded with a sound, stepped back and went out, leaving with Jiang Li who kept turning back.

Zhong Ni called the servant girl to come in and clean up the leftover noodles and soup. She served Madam Xu herself and then lay back on the bed.

Xiao Qiao watched from the side, and when the maid was put away and was about to go out, she said to Zhong Li, "Can Amu take a step to speak?"

Zhong Ni glanced at her and agreed. After telling Madam Xu, the two left the room.

As soon as he left the room, Xiao Qiao ordered the floor-sweeping maid to take the cold noodles with residual soup and follow him. Zhong Ni was puzzled, and she resisted asking, and only followed Xiao Qiao to an open space in the courtyard. Xiao Qiao ordered the maid to put down the residual face and go first. No one was around, Fang said: "Amu must have noticed it just now, but I put the cat on purpose and knocked over the tray in Madam's hand."

Zhong Li naturally saw it too. Although he was confused at the time, he still came forward to make a round of it. Seeing that she took the initiative to mention it, she said, "Why is the lady like this?"

Xiao Qiao said directly: "I suspect that there is something unclean in this noodle soup."

Zhong Li was slightly startled. Looking at Xiao Qiao: "Does the lady know what you mean by this?"

Xiao Qiao took a deep breath and said, "Of course I know. To be honest, I'm not very sure. But since I have doubts, for the safety of my grandmother, I know this is inappropriate, and I have to do it first. ."

Zhong Ni looked at her for a moment, her expression gradually eased, she nodded and said, "What the lady did. If you are in doubt, no matter whether it's clean or not, you can't hand it to the old lady. The lady is usually a very well-organized person. Since she took action today, I was called again, there must be a reason for this. Lady, please speak."

Xiao Qiao said: "Em also knows that since I entered the door, my mother-in-law has been unhappy, and the useful Jiang woman beside her even instigated her mother-in-law to target me. I don't hide it from Eminem, I know myself From the Qiao family, the Qiao and Wei families used to have grievances. The so-called defense against others is indispensable, so I asked my wet nurse to befriend Huang Li in the east room, and asked her to pay more attention to Jiang Yu’s movements on weekdays. If there is any abnormality, come here. It's better to prepare early. Just a few days ago, Huang Yu came to report, saying that Jiang Yu quietly left the mansion through the back door and went to the mansion of the township surnamed Li in the west of the city. Tea kung fu came out, and the behavior was strange. I inquired and found that my mother-in-law and the lady of the township should not have much contact on weekdays. I took my heart and asked someone to pay attention to the lady of the township. It was this morning that I got the news , saying that Mrs. Xianghou has the strange snake venom from the poisonous country in her hand, which can kill you with a single drop. Thinking that Jiang Hao might have secretly communicated with Mrs. Xianghou without the knowledge of her, I felt uneasy, and hurried home to this place. When I came, I happened to see Jiang Yanren outside the door, and saw my mother-in-law handing food to my grandmother. I was afraid that if something went wrong, I was in a hurry, and without thinking too much, I took the cat out and knocked over the tray. "

Following Xiao Qiao's words, Zhong Li's expression became more and more solemn.

Xiao Qiao said: "Amu, I said it just now. I don't know whether Jiang Hao took the snake venom from the Xianghou's mansion or not. It's just my intuition! That's why I didn't dare to speak out in front of my grandmother, so I just called Eminem out to speak. No matter whether this bowl of noodles is clean or not, Eminem must pay attention to this Jiang woman in the future!"

Zhong Nuo stared at the lump of residual noodles on the ground that was stored in the dustpan, suddenly took it, walked quickly to the bowl where the golden carp was raised in the corner of the courtyard, and poured the residual noodles down together with the soup.

Xiao Qiao stepped forward, held her breath, and watched with wide eyes together with Jiang Li.

The goldfish in the tank saw feeding, and at first they swam to peck at each other. After a while, the swimming became slow, and after a while, one, two, five or six big goldfish that had been raised for many years in the tank slowly floated to the surface. Turned belly.

Xiao Qiao glanced at Zhong Li.

Zhong Li stared at the goldfish whose belly was turned over, her face suddenly turned ashen, her eyes were like anger, she turned around suddenly, and ran quickly to Mrs. Xu's room.

…

Jiang Ni followed Zhu Shi back to the East Room, and she felt extremely uneasy.

She never imagined that when the bowl of noodle soup was about to be delivered to Mrs. Xu, she would be knocked over by a cat that suddenly flew out.

Thinking of the glance that Qiao Nu gave herself when she sent the cat out, she couldn't help it, and her nerves tensed.

It is impossible for Qiao Nu to know the inside story of this bowl of noodles.

But why was it so coincidental that at this moment, the cat she was holding in her arms flew out, which happened to spoil the well-planned event?

According to the previous agreement, outside the back door, there should be someone waiting for her to send the news.

She felt restless, her back felt like the wind was blowing. I want to go out and pass the news quickly. But Zhu Shi kept talking to her, scolding Qiao Nu for her sinister intentions in front of her, and seeing that Mrs. Xu didn't see herself halfway.

Jiang Li patiently persuaded her, and finally calmed Zhu Shi down a little and sent her back to her room. Just as he was about to rush to the back door, he heard footsteps in the courtyard, looked up, and saw that Zhong Nuo had led seven or eight old ladies in.

Zhong Ni stood there, her eyes were like icicles full of barbs, she glanced at her coldly from head to toe, and didn't say anything, the two servants behind her came up and stood frozen on the ground. Jiang Li at the door caught her with her backhand.

Zhu Shi was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly heard a chaotic footstep in the courtyard. It seemed that a lot of people had come, and he was upset. He got up and was about to go out to scold. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Zhong Li appeared. at the door.

Zhu Shi was taken aback: "What are you doing here?"

Zhong Ni stared at Zhu Shi and said, "The old lady asked me to invite you over there. I have something to ask."

Zhu is not sure why. He vaguely felt that something must have happened to him. She immediately thought of the repression puppet hidden in her room. My heart jumped up suddenly. But on second thought, this matter is secret, and it is impossible for people to know. In the end, he managed to calm himself down, got up slowly, and said with a smile, "Do you know what's going on?"

Zhong Ni said lightly, "You will know when Madam goes."

Zhu shi went to the north house again anxiously. As soon as the people left, Zhong Li glanced at the house and instructed the servants: "Take all the people in this house to look. Search carefully, and you can't let go of a corner."

"Don't make a sound."

At last she exhorted.

…

Zhu arrived at the north house. At first, he was not allowed to enter the main house.

She was taken by the maid to a side room. waited a long time. Gradually feel impatient. He got up several times to go out, but was stopped by the servant girl at the door.

When he was stopped for the third time, Mrs. Zhu finally got angry: "What a guts! Could it be that my son is not the man in the Wei family? He treated me so slowly!"

"Come here, ma'am."

A servant girl who was beside Madam Xu suddenly came over and said.

Zhu Shi glared angrily at the servant girl who had just stopped him from going out, and went to the main house.

She entered and saw that only Mrs. Xu was sitting on the couch in the room, her eyes closed as if she was in a state of concentration.

Zhu Shi stopped by the case a few steps away from her, looked at her for a moment, and didn't dare to speak first. After waiting for a while, I finally couldn't hold back anymore, and asked carefully, "I don't know why my mother-in-law called me here, why?"

Mrs. Xu slowly opened her eyes and stared at Zhu Shi with one eye, never saying a word.

Zhu Shi was shocked.

"If you don't know, I will tell you this old lady. Zhong Li, bring everything in and show her."

Madam Xu said lightly.

Zhong Li immediately went in and placed the things on the ground in front of Zhu Shi.

On the left is a plate with dead fish, and on the right is a puppet. The doll's eyebrows were stained with a drop of dark blood, which looked strange and gloomy.

When Zhu Shi saw the doll, his face immediately turned pale.

"These fish have been kept in the tank in the courtyard for several years. Just now I poured the dragon's whisker noodles you brought into the tank, and the fish were poisoned and turned white."

"This witch doll was also found in your house just now, and it fits the old lady's birthday!"

"You murdered the old lady like this. The sinister intentions are simply unbelievable!"

Zhong Li's voice came word by word, cold.

Zhu Shi's eyes widened, and his eyes moved from the fish that had already died to the puppet, and then from the puppet to the dead fish. It became more and more powerful, and it was almost impossible to stand on his legs and feet, and suddenly a sharp cry sounded, and he suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.

"It's not me! Mother-in-law! How could the noodles I bring poison the goldfish? I must have made a mistake! The birthday characters on this doll, I was also framed! It's not your mother-in-law that I want to punish! How dare I be against you, mother-in-law! I never thought of harming you, mother-in-law, you must believe me—"

Zhu Shi kept calling.

Mrs. Xu's face didn't show any anger, she looked calm, and looked at her with a look that was almost pitiful.

"I didn't make this noodles! The poison in the noodles didn't come from me! It was Jiang Li who asked me to bring the noodles to my mother-in-law to eat!"

Zhu Shi seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly said, "Call Jiang Li over! She must know! She can testify for me!"

Zhong Ni said: "Jiang Li confessed just now. The poison in this face was taken by you to Mrs. Li's Xianghou, and she wanted to murder the old lady. Jiang Li also confessed, you are afraid You can't poison the old lady, and you instructed your niece to go to the great witch to ask for this doll to cast a spell to suppress it! What else do you have to say?"

As if struck by lightning, Zhu Shi's face was pale, and he couldn't breathe, and he fell to the ground. After he fell down and regained consciousness, he clucked twice in his throat and hissed: "Let that old goddess come, I'm going to tear her up! She framed me like this! She asked me to give you a face to my mother-in-law! I remember clearly that on the doll is the birth date of the Qiao girl! It's not your mother-in-law! That old goddess harmed me!"

Zhu Shi suddenly seemed to be blessed, and got up from the ground.

"I didn't expect to suppress Qiao's daughter. It was the old goddess who pushed me! I don't dare to harm you mother-in-law! Mother-in-law, you have to find out for me, you can't teach me to bear this crime..."

When Mrs. Xu heard her saying that she was going to suppress Nv Qiao, a shadow flashed in her eyes.

She stroked her hands in the direction of the door.

Zhong Li understands. The two servants quickly entered, and forced Zhu Shi, who was still rolling on the ground, screaming injustice.

She was taken away, but the remnant of the call sign seemed to be still around the beam, and it continued to circle for a long time.

Mrs. Xu sat there fixedly without saying a word. He closed his eyes suddenly and swayed slightly.

Zhong Ni kept looking at her, and when she saw this, she hurried up and held her up.

"The maid will help you to lie down! Please come to Leling Doctor!"

…

At night, the Wei Mansion still looked peaceful.

Leling Doctor came during the day.

Madam Xu woke up, and Zhong Li served her and took a few sips of water. The spirit seems to be slowly starting to recover.

The cat was curled up by the edge of her bed, her eyes closed and she was still drowsy.

Mrs. Xu raised her hand and touched the cat, and asked Zhong Li, who was beside her, "Before Jiang Li committed suicide, she insisted that she was instructed by Zhu Shi?"

Zhong Nu said: "The maid has already been sentenced. Only she insisted that she was under the order of the madam. The maid also sent someone to detain Zheng Shu, and Zheng Shu also recruited. "

"It was the negligence of the maid. I didn't expect that Jiang Li would touch the wall and die so quickly." Zhong Li blamed herself.

Madam Xu's hand rested on the cat's back for a moment, then suddenly said, "You said, with Zhu's courage, she dared to murder me like this?"

Zhong Nuo hesitated and said, "Jiang Concubine confessed that she was instructed by the madam, and obtained snake venom from the woman surnamed Li Xianghou. It was just that the maid listened to the lady, and it seemed that Jiang Concubine had the intention of playing with the madam. Seeing Mrs. Xu looking over, she added, "The maid Bairi sent someone to arrest the woman of the township surnamed Li, but only after she went did she find out that the woman was late this morning. The servants at home thought she was asleep at first, and then entered the house." Fang, seeing her eyes open, her mind seems to be clear, but her hands and feet are paralyzed, her mouth can't speak, she seems to be suffering from wind disease. I rushed to call a doctor. The doctor is helpless. Now she is lying like a living dead.

Mrs. Xu frowned: "Is there such a coincidence?"

"The maid also thinks it's a coincidence. Yuyang has been ordered to investigate the case."

Mrs. Xu's hand slowly continued to touch the cat. The cat woke up, stretched, jumped out of the bed, and walked out the door.

Mrs. Xu watched the cat's back, and her eyes gradually revealed a soft color.

"Where's my granddaughter-in-law?"

she asked suddenly.

Zhong Ni said: "In the evening, the old lady took the medicine and went to sleep, and the lady was still with her. I was persuaded by me, so I just went back not long ago, so it means that I will come back early."

"If she hadn't come in time in the morning and had been on guard, I'm afraid I would have been killed by my stupid daughter-in-law at this moment!"

Madam Xu was taken aback for a moment and said.

"The old lady just think about it, don't get angry and hurt yourself."

Mrs. Xu slowly shook her head: "You don't know, why am I so angry? Although I have lost my children and grandchildren, and my family is unfortunate, but now I am getting old, not only has a Shaoer, but also a daughter-in-law like Qiao. Heaven is always reincarnated. I should be content."

…

This day started in the morning, one after another, so many things happened.

Xiao Qiao dragged her tired legs back to the room, took a shower, threw herself on the bed, and closed her eyes.

The life and death of my grandmother's previous life was finally passed without any danger.

After this catastrophe, grandmother and Zhong Li will definitely be alert in the future. The black hand that reached out to the Wei family's family, I am afraid it will not be so easy to start again.

Although there are still regrets about the results, in the future, at least there is no need to worry about the grandmother being murdered.

Xiao Qiao was actually satisfied.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.
