Chapter 62 Conspiracy and Trick 1

Pouring a cup of hot tea to Zhulian, Xia Mengning whispered, "Get up first. What's going on? Let's talk about it."

Zhulian stood up and sat on the embroidered stool on one side, holding the teacup tremblingly, but she couldn't say a word.

Xia Mengning looked at the calm Jiu'er and asked, "What's going on?"

Although Jiu'er's face was pale, she did not tremble like a pearl lotus. Seeing Xia Mengning asking herself, she hurriedly told Xia Mengning what had happened. It was not until the last word that the little girl's temperament was revealed, and she burst into tears.

Xia Mengning praised Jiu'er's state of mind and stability in her heart. She felt more and more about what a wise decision it was to take her at that time. Now when she stood there and cried, she felt a slight pain in her heart and whispered, "It's okay. It's all over."

Wu Qing patted the table and frowned. "I'm so bold that I dare to bully my ninth sister. It's really abominable. When I catch the thief, I will definitely peel him and cramp him."

Although Wu Qing's temperament is free and unrestrained, he is also frank and straightforward. In addition to doing what Xia Mengning ordered, his favorite thing is to go in and out with Jiu'er. Although it didn't take long, the two cultivated a deep friendship, so when Jiu'er finished talking about the matter, Wu Qing was so angry.

"Shut up!" Xia Meng gave her a white look, "I still don't think it's messy enough. When can this impulsive personality be changed?"

Wu Qing scratched his head with embarrassment, sat back on the stool, and looked at Xia Mengning with a hopeful face. "Give me some instructions. You are the smartest person in the garden. You must know who killed Sister Jiu'er."

Xia Mengning looked at Wu Qing and was not angry with her. She just got along with each other for a long time. Both of them knew each other's personalities, so there was not too much estrangement when talking. Now that Wu Qing said this, Xia Mengning thought, "If it's for me, it's useless to catch you, not to mention that I There are too many enemies today. How can we find who is the black hand? However, today's things are not traceless.

"Where is it?" The three of them asked almost at the same time, and they all looked at Xia Mengning with great expectation.

Xia Mengning took a Juanpa and stirred it. "You think, if someone wants to hurt me secretly, it means that she doesn't dare to do it openly. Now that she does it on your way back, she naturally knows that you are going out tonight. This person dares not do it openly. Naturally, she is secretly monitoring the bamboo garden. Hello, you two. Think about it, where did you go before you left the house today, who you met, and if there is anything wrong, just tell them out.

Jiu'er and Zhulian thought for a moment. Jiu'er said first, "Sister Zhulian took the maidservant to the housekeeper Li to exchange the broken silver, and then we went straight out of the house."

Zhulian nodded quickly, "Yes, I packed up my things, so I went to Butler Li with Jiu'er, and then went straight out of the house."

Xia Mengning muttered, "Li Yan?" With that, he shook his head and said, "Li Yan will not be different. The last time I saved his son, he was very grateful. Besides, Li Yan has been working in the house for so many years and has always been upright, otherwise he would not let his mother-in-law still be doing chores in the kitchen."

The other three also knew the situation. Jiu'er said lightly, "Miss, I went to the housekeeper's office today and saw that there was a particularly strange thing in the ingredients bought by the mother-in-law in the kitchen."

Xia Mengning looked at her, "Oh? What is it?"

Jiu'er thought for a while, "I'm not sure, but I just feel very familiar with it. Now when I think about it, it's like white ginseng."

Zhulian and Wu Qing didn't feel different, but Xia Mengning was shocked, "You can see it clearly. How can you be sure?"

Jiu'er nodded, "I looked at the white ginseng several times. This white ginseng was born in the shade of the southern mountains. When I was a ginseng, I dug it and sold it in the market. Many large families use white ginseng to make soup, which is not only delicious but also nourishing, but this white ginseng has a fatal effect on women. I'm afraid to take it for a long time. It will be infertile."

As soon as this word came out, Zhulian was shocked. Xia Mengning nodded her head and said, "White ginseng is shady in nature, but it has a rare delicacy in the world. When a man drinks the soup made by it, it benefits the qi and prolongs the year. It has a great tonic effect, but only women can't touch it. If you usually drink the soup it makes, I'm afraid that you will be infertile for life. If you are pregnant, you can still use it. I'm afraid this soup will slip.

"Did the woman who bought it buy it by coincidence?" Zhulian asked.

Xia Mengning shook her head, "I didn't use white sweet ginseng in the house, just because although it can be used by large families, we are the prime minister's house. What kind of good ginseng is not, those red ginseng that make savores are much more expensive than white sweet ginseng. Do you think, who will drink it in the house?"

The four fell into silence. Xia Mengning thought for a while and said, "Anyway, you are in danger today. It must be the work of the people in this house, and even have something to do with the people in the stewid's room."

"Miss, do you want to investigate?" Jiu'er asked on the sidelines.

Xia Mengning nodded, "Tomorrow morning, go to the stewroom to find a few people to repair the table in the outer hall and call Li Yan."

Jiu'er nodded. Xia Mengning looked at them and said, "You go down first. Have a good sleep and you'll be fine."

Zhulian and Jiu'er left together. Xia Mengning looked at Wu Qing, who was motionless, and curled her lips and said, "What, this snack is so delicious. If you like it, just take it away."

Wu Qing sat next to Xia Mengning with a smile, took out something from his arms and wrapped it in his hand. He mysteriously blinked and said, "I went out of the house to my elder brother today. He gave me this, and I must give it to you."

Xia Mengning gently turned her hand with a teacup, but there was a wave in her heart, "What is it?"

Wu Qing stretched out his hand on the table in front of Xia Mengning and said with slanting eyes, "I dare not look. My brother said that this thing can only be shown to one person."

Xia Mengning was amused by Wu Qing's tone. She covered her mouth and smiled and said, "I thought you were unruly and no one could send you, but when I saw it today, it was not like this. What benefits did he give you?"

Wu Qing's expression of 'being seen through', touched his chest and sighed pretentiously, "I miss my generation of heroines, but I have been treated as a messenger, and I have to suffer such torture. Where is the reason?"

Xia Mengning waved her hand, "Hist and fight! Forget it. I can't stand your appearance.

Wu Qing jumped out of the couch and looked back when he walked to the door. "Brother taught me a very powerful swordsmanship. As a reward, I will send you a messenger and enjoy it. I'll go first."

As he spoke, he blinked at Xia Mengning. As soon as the door curtain was released, it disappeared.

Xia Mengning shook her head and smiled. She drank the tea in her hand. When she put the teacup aside, she inadvertently touched the purse on the table.

Gently picked it up, and Xia Mengning saw a few begonia flowers embroidered on the purse. The stitching method is the traditional double needle method. The begonia flowers are lifelike. Gently untie the purse. Xia Mengning looked carefully inside and it was a letter paper.

Shaking away, the smooth and straight font came into view. In this way, the word is really like his person. Xia Mengning thought for a moment, looked down and saw that there was only one sentence written on the letter, "I haven't seen you for many days, is it safe?"

Xia Mengning took a look, looked carefully over and over again several times, and turned the whole purse upside down. Finally, it was only this sentence that she put the letter and purse on the table angrily and thought about it for a while.

Is it safe? Is it safe? Xia Mengning rubbed her lips and thought gently that Changsun Yun was asking nonsense. His temper was not such an implicit person. Xia Mengning changed her posture and lay on the table. She remembered that she had experienced everything since she met Changsun Yun, and unconsciously began to miss it.

He sat up and took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Xia Mengning dipped the pen in ink and took it back as soon as she was about to write.

He only asked himself if he was safe and how he wanted to reply. When Xia Mengning was thinking left and right, a large drop of ink fell from the tip of the pen and quickly fainted on the white rice paper, becoming a strange black spot.

Reaching out and dragging off the paper in front of her, Xia Mengning paved a new one, dipped it in ink and rewrote, "I've been obsessed with trivia recently." As soon as she finished writing, Xia Mengning felt bad again. He only asked himself one sentence. Do you want to reply to him a lot?

After thinking about it, I re-paved another one and re-written it.

Time slipped away. Xia Mengning kept the candlelight and wrote for most of the night, but she was not satisfied. At the end of the writing, her wrists were faintly sore. She simply threw the pen and sat on the stool and looked at the waste paper on the ground in a daze.

"Miss... haven't you slept yet?"

Jiu'er's voice came from outside the door. Xia Mengning hurriedly blew out the candle and hurriedly said, "It's all right. I'm going to bed."

Taking advantage of the moonlight to climb into bed, Xia Mengning picked up her purse and looked at it carefully. Her index finger and ring finger pulled the knot of her purse and slowly fell asleep.

When she got up early the next morning, Zhulian came in with water. Xia Mengning had already dressed and sat **. Zhulian put down the copper basin and saw a pile of paper balls on the ground, which was a little confused.

Xia Mengning saw the expression of Zhulian from the diamond bronze mirror. She lowered her head to clean her face and said in a low voice, "I had nothing to do last night. I copied some posts. I didn't write well. You can clean it up first."

Zhulian lowered her body to clean up. Xia Mengning looked at it and thought that the handwriting on it might be seen by others, so she said, "Clean it up and burn it. Don't be picked up by others."

Zhulian looked up at Xia Mengning suspiciously. I don't know when the young lady had the habit of learning to write at night, but she couldn't care too much about the master's affairs, so she didn't ask. She lowered her head and continued to clean up.

Xia Mengning was still thinking about the purse last night. She slowly straightened her hair with a wooden comb in her hand, and the door curtain was brushed open. Wu Qingfeng appeared in front of her. Xia Mengning was shocked and stared at her and said, "Why are you here early in the morning?"

"My brother said that he wanted me to get your reply to him today. Where's the letter?" Wu Qing looked at Xia Mengning and asked.

Xia Mengning's hand holding the comb waved unnaturally twice, "I didn't write it. Just go and tell him."

Wu Qing looked at Xia Mengning in disbelief. In a blink of an eye, she saw Pearl Lotus, who was kneeling on the ground and was cleaning up the paper ball. She smiled at the corners of her mouth, "Okay, I'll go back."

With that, he turned around and ran away.

Xia Mengning looked at the face in the mirror and sighed leisurely. Shouldn't she care too much, should she?
