Chapter 166 Incident

The person outside had already started kicking the door. He seemed to know that Hu Xin'er had taken effect of the drug, so he tore off his last disguise.

The medicine was very effective. Hu Xiner drank another bowl. At this time, she had no strength left in her body, and even her vision gradually became blurred. She could only hold on to the table to prevent herself from slipping to the ground.

On the table was the ore she used to grind pigments. No one knew what it was made of or whether it was poisonous.

Hu Xiner felt her head getting more and more dizzy, and her hands subconsciously groped on the table, but there was nothing in the study to induce vomiting.

"Open the door, open the door quickly!" The sound of kicking the door became more and more intense. Although the quality of the door was very good, it probably could not withstand the frequent kicking by the middle-aged man.

What's more, the servant didn't expect it now, otherwise it would be easier to catch her by coming in through the window.

In a hurry, Hu Xiner swallowed several pieces of ore.

The ore had been ground open and was stained with paint, water, and even some ink residue. It was smelly and disgusting as soon as it entered the mouth, and I felt nauseous immediately.

Hu Xiner covered her mouth with one hand as she opened the door and happened to bump into a servant outside. The servant used too much force and fell to the ground.

Hu Xin'er ran to the toilet without saying a word.

"Stop, stop!" The servant quickly chased after him.

Hu Xiner slammed the door shut, and bursts of vomiting sounds came from the toilet.

The servant was a man, so he could only ask from outside: "Is it done? Please hurry up!"

After Hu Xiner vomited, she immediately felt sober, but her stomach felt very uncomfortable. She raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, but stopped, and instead scratched her neck hard several times, making her hair even more messy.

She went out in a mess, and the servant was very nervous and cautious, fearing that she would escape again.

Unexpectedly, Hu Xin'er came out dizzy and staggering.

The servant was stunned.

"I... I'm allergic to ginseng... call a doctor quickly..." Hu Xiner said weakly, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Emma, ​​my head hurts and it smells so bad next to the toilet.

Seeing Hu Xiner fainted, the servant immediately carried him to the next room and asked a passing servant to call the Duke's wife, saying that something had changed.

The Duke's wife hurried over and saw the unconscious Hu Xin'er. A smile first appeared on her face, but then her eyes turned fierce. "Where is that peddler? I've told you so many times not to touch a hair of the Lu family's young lady!"

She suspected that the servants were attracted by Hu Xin'er's beauty, so they deliberately sent the peddler away so that they could take advantage of her.

The servant following Hu Xin'er was naturally the biggest suspect. He had originally thought he had done a great deed, but now he was terrified and waved his hands repeatedly: "I dare not!"

There was a thud, and he must have fallen to his knees.

"Madam, please understand. This girl just went to the toilet and fainted from a ginseng allergy. I put her in this room, but I found that the peddler who was originally here was gone!"

"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I'll skin you alive!" This was the Duke's wife's angry voice.

Then Madam Zhou's voice rang out: "Madam, she is allergic to ginseng. I'm afraid someone might die."

"She's not just a peasant woman, how could she be so delicate?" The Duke's wife didn't care. "It would be best if she died."

Nanny Zhou suddenly felt a chill in her heart and dared not speak anymore.

The king's servant then scolded all the servants: "I don't care how many little tricks you have, but you are not allowed to let anyone know about this matter. Madam Lu's infidelity has nothing to do with our mansion. Do you know everything?"

Hu Xiner secretly thought that this Duke's wife did have some brains.

As the young lady of the Lu family, if something happened to her in the Duke's Mansion, and it was found that it was done by the Lu family's servants, then the Lu family would really become mortal enemies with the Duke's Mansion.

So it could only be that the peddler outside had evil intentions when he came in and insulted Hu Xiner.

Next, the Duke's wife should be planning to use a self-torture trick, and then pretend to be generous and give her own daughter to Lu Yunjue as a second wife.

In this way, everyone in the capital city felt that Xuanyuan Huili was unlucky to marry, and the Duke's Mansion was innocently implicated.

The real victim, Hu Xin'er, was born with a bad fate.

At this time, another servant ran over in a panic: "Madam, please forgive me, I just went to the bathroom, and the man was so hungry that he ran to the kitchen and ate seven large steamed buns in one go, and drank a pound of white wine. Now he is so full that his eyes are rolling back and he is lying by the stove, motionless!"

"What? He's really the reincarnation of a starving ghost!" The Duke's wife was both angry and anxious.

Why did it happen at this critical moment?

Those untouchables outside are just unreliable.

It's easy to imagine what kind of beauty she could recruit. He's just a man who walks around the streets pretending to be a peddler and stealing women.

This kind of person can also be said to be the earliest duck in ancient times.

Moreover, the duck peddlers who are a little better off have already hooked up with rich women and widows. Only those who are unwanted would do such a dangerous business.

However, the reason why that person went wrong was something no one had expected.

According to junior high school physics knowledge, starch will expand about 7 times when it comes into contact with water. Wow, that person’s stomach is now equivalent to having 49 steamed buns.

When she thought of that scene, Hu Xiner couldn't help laughing, and she pinched her thighs hard to pretend to be "dead".

Fortunately, no one's attention was focused on her who was already unconscious.

The Duke's wife said angrily, "Just watch over here. I'm going to the kitchen to catch that killer!"

Hu Xiner originally wanted to wait until they locked the man and her in a room, knock the man unconscious, and then take the opportunity to act.

But now that something unexpected has happened, she has other ideas in her mind.

After hearing no movement, she quietly opened her eyes.

Even the most ordinary rooms in the Duke's Mansion are nicely decorated.

It looks like this should be a guest room. There are four treasures of the study on the table and a few calligraphy and paintings on the wall, whose authenticity is unknown.

The guarding servant stood at the door with his back to her, his body tense and his attention focused on the outside.

When Hu Xiner saw the square inkstone on the table, she picked it up without hesitation and threw it at the servant.

The servant never imagined that the unconscious person would suddenly wake up. Now all his attention was on the front, and he only had time to turn his head before he fell to the ground.

Hu Xiner was worried that he would wake up, so she hit it hard again, and sighed in her heart, no wonder the people in the Xuanyuan family like to throw inkstones. This thing is not big but heavy, like a brick, but it is convenient to use!

Thinking that she might run into danger while trying to escape, Hu Xin'er tucked the small inkstone into her arms and ran out...
