Chapter 17 Someone Behind

The old lady spoke in a good way, and no one could ever change what she decided.

"He can't stay." The old lady's tone was extremely firm, as if she had prepared before Qin Yunuan came.

Qin Yunuan didn't ask why. She knew that the old lady had her own plan in her heart. She raised her head slightly and only said, "I once promised my mother that where I am, Baochuan is."

The old lady looked up at Qin Yunuan. The tea cup at hand had cooled a little. The sun gradually moved westward, and the shadow of Qin Yunuan gradually lengthen. The old lady's voice was like a Hongzhong, full of confidence and a majestic smell: "This is Ning Palace. After all, it's up to me. You should learn from your mother's concubine. , she knows how to get along with me very well. She will never cause trouble, let alone cause such a big trouble.

Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi were ambushed in front of Qingshui Lane. The old lady, who was far away from the other end of the capital, immediately knew about this matter. Jiang was really old and spicy.

"This matter is indeed Yu Nuan's fault." Qin Yunuan's tone was very sincere. Although he didn't know whether the people were against him or Leng Changxi, someone in the Qin family must have collusion with this group of people. Otherwise, how could this group of people appear so suddenly without warning.

"But..."

Before Qin Yunuan finished speaking, the old lady opened her mouth and said, "So, don't take your Qin family to our Ningwang Mansion again," the old lady took a sip of tea and raised her eyes again, "I't have the heart to protect you."

Protect them? Qin Yunuan was slightly stunned, and then said, "Although Baochuan is young, he is extremely sensible and will not cause trouble to the old lady."

"Hmm." The old lady hummed coldly and turned her head. Her arrogant head rose slightly, but she raised her hand to greet the cicada beside her and picked up a piece of cake for herself. The golden osmanthus cake was soft in the mouth and mixed with some osmanthus petals. This is the old lady's favorite snack, and she will definitely eat it after every lunch break.

The old lady's move was obviously cold to Qin Yunuan and Qin Baochuan.

But just as the old lady was about to put the pastry in her mouth, Qin Baochuan suddenly shouted, "Madam, this osmanthus cake can't be eaten. It's poisonous."

This shout was sudden, and the content was even more thrilling. Suddenly, the tray in Zhichan's hand fell to the ground. The osmanthus cake in the tray rolled out and broke into pastry residue on the ground.

The old lady paused her hand, looked slightly at Qin Baochuan, who suddenly made a sound, and then glanced at Zhicicada.

Zhichan was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground: "The old lady, spared her life. The maidservant has lost her temper, and the maidservant has lost her composure."

"It's okay to lose your composure. Don't have any bad thoughts." The old lady's words have always hit the nail on the head. Zhichan has also followed her for so many years. She said that she is a big maid. In fact, she is more than 20 years old. She should be the most stable one. How could she be scared like this by the sudden shout of a small child? Most of them are guilty.

The scene suddenly calmed down, and Qin Yu looked at the old lady's expression quietly. Although it was solemn, the old lady's eyebrows always maintained a relatively soothing curvature, indicating that the old lady was not really angry, and she was still exploring.

"What did you just say? Poisonous?" Even in this case, the old lady can maintain an extremely dignified speed of speech.

"Yes, it's poisonous." Qin Baochuan nodded.

"This pastry was brought by Su Xin himself from the small kitchen of Hexiangyuan, and the people in the small kitchen have been with me for a long time. Do you mean that my granddaughter wants to poison me or the people who have been born and died with me want to murder me?" The old lady's eyes flashed slightly.

Say this cold heart, although she has nothing to do with the rest of the house, the relationship with the old lady has always been very gentle, which is why the people in the house dare not offend the cold fourth lady, and there is a big backer behind her.

"Neither." Qin Baochuan shook his head and said solemnly, "This is not the pastry that is poisonous, but other things in this case."

"Oh?" The old lady raised her eyebrows and subconsciously looked at the neatly arranged tea cup on the table. The chessboard and a bottle opened a delicate string of red, which had just been taken from the garden and specially placed here for the old lady to watch and relieve boredom.

"That's it." Qin Baochuan said that he picked a string of red like a small lantern, shaking in a clean white porcelain plate in front of the old lady, and some yellow pollen fell in front of him. "These are not a string of red pollen, but oleander peach, which is poisonous, and this pastry is just placed under this bottle of flower arrangement. Noodles, coupled with the strong wind by the pool, will definitely blow some of them and fall into the pastry. It happens that the pollen of osmanthus cake and oleander are yellow, which is difficult for people's eyes to distinguish for a while, and they will eat more or less. Old lady, have you ever eaten it before?

After lunch, the old lady just came to the small pavilion to rest. Later, Qin Yunuan happened to come, so she pretended to sleep. She didn't have time to eat this plate of pastries. If Qin Baochuan said it was true.

"How can you tell at a glance that this is oleander pollen?" The old lady's eyes were still sharp, with some young shrewdness, "Since you said that the human eye is difficult to distinguish for a moment, how do you know?"

"It's very simple," Qin Baochuan said seriously, "just looking at the small pavilion, there are shrubs and grasses around, but only a string of red in this case makes mosquitoes dare not approach. Usually, a string of red is also the most attracting mosquitoes, and the pollen of oleander happens to have the effect of killing mosquitoes. More importantly, Bao Sichuan has also been harmed by this deadly pollen, so his memory is still fresh.

Although this reasoning is not perfect and has no loopholes, it is very rare to come from the mouth of a six-year-old child, especially the last sentence that said that he had also been harmed by the pollen of oleander, which not only reminded Qin Yunuan of the incident that Qin Linfeng instigated He to poison Qin Baochuan's breakfast, but also made the old lady A slight touch in my heart.

For a long time, the old lady fell on Qin Yunuan's body. Qin Yunuan had been quietly accompanying Qin Baochuan. Looking at Qin Baochuan's mouth hanging at the head of the river, she was not surprised at all. Qin Baochuan was very smart. She had known it for a long time and knew it in her previous life.

The old lady picked up the porcelain plate sprinkled with a thin layer of pollen and carefully identified it. When she was young, she was also often harmed by others, let alone others. For her, bamboo and peach pollen is a pediatric for her. It can be seen at a glance, but her heart trembles. Yes, this is indeed the pollen of oleander.

"Your brother is indeed a little like you." The old lady's tone is unpredictable, as if with a little praise and a little temptation, "they are all the same scheming, bold, and good at using their own abilities."

Qin Yunuan was slightly blessed and still looked like a favor and disgrace. Sure enough, she heard the old lady say a little coldly: "So also, I don't like it very much."

Although the content is not good, the tone is clearly protective, and Qin Yunuan heard it clearly.

"Know the cicada." The old lady looked down at Zhichan, who had been kneeling on the ground and began to tremble. Every day, her vase incense and other things were taken care of by Zhichan. The old lady was very clear about why this string of red was mixed with the pollen of oleander. You don't have to stay with me in the future. There can't be people like you by my side.

Although the words are light, Zhichan knows that the old lady means to kill her. There has never been a person who dares to kill the old lady can live a stable life.

"Old lady, spare my life, old lady, I know that the cicada has been serving you for so many years. Old lady, you can't doubt the maidservant because of Master Qin's words. I really don't know why there is oleander pollen here. Someone must have framed the maidservant." The cicada is still begging.

"It is because you have served me for so many years that I have relaxed my guard against you." For those who dare to challenge themselves, the old lady has never paid attention to affection, which is very similar to Qin Yunuan.

"Old lady..." Zhichan still wanted to struggle, but was suddenly abducted by two thin maids with one arm. Although the two maids looked thin, their arms were full of muscles, and their techniques were extremely sophisticated. Her eyes were sharp. It could be seen that these were several capable maids around the old lady.

"What, are you satisfied?" The old lady lowered her head and took a sip of tea. I don't know whether this sentence is asking Qin Yunuan or Qin Baochuan.

Qin Yunuan slowly moved forward: "Yu Nuan is just worried that the cicada is just a maid. Behind this, there must be someone who instructed her. Why doesn't the old lady..."

"Do you follow the vine?" The old lady raised her eyes, and her eyes were full of ridicule, as if she was laughing at Qin Yunuan's ignorance and Qin Yunuan's innocence. "Since the cicada has moved to my yard for ten years, I know whose nail she is, but I just put up with it. Doesn't she want to look at me? I let her watch. Humph, I enjoyed the complacent when she got the message I deliberately passed to her. She thought she was smart, but she could never escape the palm of my hand. This time, if it weren't for you, I would have let the cicada lie in ambush all the time. Since someone is willing to fight with me, why don't I do it? ?"

Ge Yunying, the name that once resounded throughout the southern battlefield, is now the old lady of King Ning's Mansion, who has fought for most of her life and has been fighting for fun.

In an instant, Qin Yunuan felt that the spine had a cool feeling. The old lady lived a very unrestrained life, but also lived very tiredly. Thinking of herself now, she has always been living in the struggle. I don't know if she will live in deliberate life like the old lady.

"Old lady, who are you talking about?" Qin Yunuan asked tentatively.
