Chapter 17 A thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh

Qi Xinlan mentioned his sister's Qixinhui to her cousin Leng Haochen. Leng Haochen immediately clenched his fist. He would definitely take revenge and avenge ten times more than a hundred times. However, it is not necessary for him to report his thoughts and the situation in front of him to Qi Xinlan. What's more, the Qi family has so many eyeliners in the capital that even the general's mansion can't avoid it. How could Qi Xinlan not know what he has done?

"Cousin Chen, why don't you tell me?" Qixinlan's face was like a peach blossom, and she pulled Leng Haochen's sleeves slightly reservedly, looking like a coquettish little daughter.

Leng Haochen couldn't help frowning and looking coldly at Qixinlan, who had different appearances, and felt a little uncomfortable. However, at least she is Qi Xinhui's sister, his beloved sister, and Qi Xinlan is at least her own cousin. They are all a family, and it's not easy to refute other people's face too much.

Leng Haochen adjusted his mood, changed a gentle face, and said to Qixinlan, "Xinlan, you just arrived in the capital today, and you are tired all the way. You should go back and have a good rest."

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. I'm not tired at all. Qi Xinlan smiled brightly and was shy. She liked to listen to his gentle words, liked his pleasant face, and preferred him to care about her so much.

"It's good not to be tired. It's just, Xinlan, I have a lot of things to do now, so I don't have time to talk to you too much. Why don't you go back and rest first? I'll talk to you later when I have time." Leng Haochen found another excuse. In short, he wanted to give a emissal order.

"Hmm! I know you are very busy, cousin Chen. I heard from the housekeeper that Cousin Chen is very powerful and can do everything. Now you manage the industry of the general's mansion and are busy every day. Xinlan is not talented, and she also reads some idle books and knows a few words. If cousin Chen does not dislike Xinlan's shallow learning, Xinlan is willing to help Cousin Chen and do what she can, so as to reduce the burden of cousin Chen. Qi Xinlan looks concerned.

Qixinlan's words not only exaggerate Leng Haochen's youth and ability, but also hint at his talent, and are also a little modest.

However, what Leng Haochen doesn't like most is this kind of person who can't speak directly. He clearly wants to say that he is talented and well-read a lot of books, but he says that he is not good at learning.

"It's not necessary. I can't do these things if I can read books. You'd better go back and have a rest. I will do things quietly and more efficiently by myself. After saying that, Leng Haochen didn't wait for Qi Xinlan to speak, and said directly to Sun Qi, "Sun Qi, send Miss Xinlan so that she can't find a way. She has just arrived in the capital and is a guest of our general's mansion. She can't be neglected.

Leng Haochen's eviction order is so direct. Even if Qi Xinlan wants to stay, it is not easy to speak. She can only say helplessly, "Well, cousin Chen, Xinlan won't disturb your work. However, when cousin Chen is free, he must come to talk to Xinlan. Xinlan has no friends in the capital, so she will inevitably feel bored.

"Let's talk about it when you have time." Leng Haochen sent Qi Xinlan to the door of the study.

"Cousin Chen, you must remember." After leaving for a few steps, Qi Xinlan did not forget to go back to remind her.

Unfortunately, Leng Haochen did not make a statement that he would definitely visit Qixinlan. Of course, he didn't refuse directly. After all, he is a relative, and it's not easy to hurt the harmony. However, according to what he thinks, he naturally doesn't want to chat with Qi Xinlan.

Qi Xinlan stayed in the general's mansion for two days. Although she beat and scolded her maid all day long with fear and tears on her face, she sent the general's mansion to serve the maids and the concubines.

These servants in the general's mansion feel that Qixinlan is gentle and generous, knowledgeable and reasonable. They don't have the temper of officials and eunuchs. They are very kind to their servants, and they are generous. Silver jewelry is given away casually.

As for the master of the general's mansion, except for Su Wanqing, an aunt who is not welcomed by her husband, the wives and young grandmothers below the old lady all visited one by one and gave stunning gifts. Even if the masters of the general's mansion don't like her, they will never hate her. After all, this society is realistic, and no one will really get along with gold, silver and jewelry.

As the saying goes, eating others is the shortest, but their hands are short. Qixinlan has attracted a large group of people, and naturally she can hear a lot of news. One of the news made Qi Xinlan very painless. It feels like a thorn piercing into her heart, and it won't work without pulling it out.

The core of this matter is Su Wanqing.

Although Qi Xinlan knew that Su Wanqing was a member of the Su family and must be part of Leng Haochen's revenge, she still felt that Su Wanqing was a threat.

Su Wanqing took the name of Aunt Su and was Leng Haochen's concubine. Although she was humble, she was indeed a woman belonging to Leng Haochen. Second, Su Wanqing was deeply liked by the old lady, and the old lady repeatedly created opportunities for Su Wanqing and Leng Haochen, matching and matching. The filial Leng Haochen could not prepare for the old lady's wishes. Third, Su Wanqing's brain is smart, his medical skills are better than that of a royal doctor, and his cooking skills are better than that of a famous chef. She is afraid of those who can do it.

Lan Si thought about it together and felt that Su Wanqing could not stay, and it was a scourge to stay. Since she is now in the general's mansion and a distinguished guest of the general's mansion, she simply does not stop and removes Su Wan first.

Leng Haochen has always hated the people of the Su family. He wants to join hands with Leng Haochen to do this when Leng Haochen and Su Wanqing have not developed anything. It's just that Su Wanqing is a celebrity in front of the old lady. If you want to get rid of Su Wanqing, you must give her an inescapable charge.

Qi Xinlan thought left and right. She thought that poisoning was a good way to frame her. Of course, she did not poison Su Wanqing, but poisoned herself.

Thinking of this, Qi Xinlan secretly let herself find the poison that was toxic and not fatal from the maid Chunxiao brought to Tongcheng.

This is very worried about Chunxiao. It's also her first time to come to the capital. She is not familiar with the place. Not to mention looking for poison, she can't figure out the southeast and northwest even if she finds a pharmacy.

Chunxiao wandered outside for two days without any results. Qixinlan suddenly became angry. She couldn't stand it. She picked up a folding fan and beat Chunxiao's body. "You idiot, you know how to eat every day. What else can you do? I can't do such a small job. I might as well raise a pig. Let me see, pigs are smarter than you.

Qixinlan scolded and beat him at the same time. Although he only used a folding fan, the summer gauze was thin, and Chunxiao was beaten all over his body. Chunxiao endured the pain with tears and did not dare to avoid it, because she knew that if she hid, she would be beaten worse.

Qi Xinlan hit for a while and felt that her hands were a little sour. She simply gave the folding fan to her cronies Chunxiang, who was beside her. "Chunxiang, lend it to me. If you don't hit this girl becomes smart, don't stop."

"Yes, Miss." Chunxiang took over the folding fan and treated her colleagues without any mercy, even more spicy than Qixinlan.

Although Chunxiang is also a maid of Qifu and also serves beside Qixinlan, Chunxiao's treatment is different. Chunxiang used to serve Qi Xinhui. Since Qi Xinhui's death, she has followed Qi Xinlan, but Qi Xinlan, who has always been violent and has a hot method, is particularly good to her.

After playing for a long time, Chunxiao almost lay on the ground, and Qi Xinlan said compassionately, "Okay, that's all for today. Don't forget the pain after the scar. Learn to be smart and give you one last chance tomorrow. If you can't do what I told you well, you don't have to eat anymore. Do you understand what I said?

"Thank you, Miss. Chunxiao understands. I will definitely learn to be smart tomorrow so that I won't be disappointed." Chunxiao said submissively. How could she not understand what Qi Xinlan said just now? If she can't find that poison tomorrow, she can't eat anymore, just starve her to death.

Thinking of this, Chunxiao couldn't help shivering. She knew that her eldest lady was definitely not alarmist. She used this method to starve a kitchen attendant in Qifu. The reason is that the little boy came to deliver food to Miss Qi, but he accidentally sneezed. Although it did not spray on the meal, it affected Qixinlan's appetite.

Qi Xinlan didn't eat well, so she couldn't eat for the rest of her life, and she became a poor starving ghost.

"Think about it for me. There's nothing wrong with you here. You go down first." Qixinlan waved her hand. She didn't want to see Chunxiao's ugly face with scars anymore, blue and purple, which was extremely disgusting.

After Chunxiao limped out, Chunxiang said to Qi Xinlan, "Miss, I don't think this fool can get back what you want tomorrow."

"If you can't get it back, just starve me." Qixinlan said viciously.

"Miss, calm down. It's not worth it to be angry with a little donkey. It's a small matter to starve that fool to death, but if you delay Miss's plan, it will be a big deal. Chunxiang said flatteringly.

"In your opinion, what should we do?" Qi Xinlan looked at Chunxiang. She hoped that there was a way. She must get rid of Su Wanqing's thorn in her eyes.

"Miss, poison is not easy to find, but doctors are all over the street." Chunxiang smiled sinisterly and continued, "In fact, most of the poisons are traded secretly. Not to mention that fool, even if we are not familiar with each other in the capital, it is difficult to find. Why don't we find a trusted doctor and give him some money? At that time, the young lady will pretend to be ill. At that time, I will bring the doctor to you. As long as the doctor insists that he is poisoned, that's not it.

"Good idea. However, there are risks. After all, Su Wanqing's bitch also knows medical skills. If she wears help, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating. Qixinlan thought and said.
