Chapter 163 Poisoning

The fourth son has lost his wife, so he will have to remarry in the future! When the time comes, let the head of the family find him someone who is close to the first wife. Once this pillow talk spreads, I believe he will never forget the revenge of Jiang!

But now that Jiang is alive, the feud may have been renewed.

Liu's mind turned around for a while, and she started to hate Xia Daohua again.

This girl is really a jinx, she is the unlucky one for the first wife! If she hadn't been so nosy, Jiang Shi wouldn't be alive now!

Without Jiang in charge, no matter how carefully the first wife planned, the fourth wife's money would not be able to fly out of the first wife's palm even if it had wings! Even if it flew away, the first wife could catch it back!

The more Liu thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she hated Xia Daohua.

It’s a pity that this is an old house, and no matter how much she hates Xia Daohua, she can’t say it out loud.

Otherwise, if someone with too much gossip heard it and word spread, she would be in an even more passive position.

Liu couldn't help herself and lowered her voice to scold Jinhua. Jinhua's face was swollen and she cried so hard that she looked ugly. Liu felt even more angry and her throat was raging:

"Quickly stop shedding tears! You finally feel like crying now, what were you doing before?

If you hadn't lost your temper and slapped Jiang, things wouldn't have gotten to this point, and instead ruined your father's business!"

Jinhua sobbed unconvincedly and retorted:

"I just patted her hand gently, but I didn't know she would be so fragile.

She looks so ugly, but she wears a shrimp-whisker bracelet! The silver thread is so fine, it’s thinner than my embroidery thread!”

When Liu found out that it was a shrimp whisker bracelet that caused the trouble, she was almost furious. She raised her hand and tapped Jinhua's forehead fiercely with her index finger. After each tap, Jinhua could not help but take a step back:

"You short-sighted bastard! How come you can only see that shrimp whisker bracelet?

Even if it is a top-quality gold shrimp whisker bracelet, how much is it worth?

If this thing is accomplished today, we can get a share in the fourth room's business, and then we can get a lot of money, right?

When your father figures out those recipes, we can break away from the fourth branch and go it alone.

By then, how many bracelets will you need to buy?

You! You!

You want me to tell you something?"

Liu sighed and felt her eyes hurt when she looked at Jinhua. She couldn't sit still in the room anymore and went out for a walk.

Taohua was in the kitchen, looking at Jiang's medicine.

Lihua was the one who was making the medicine before, but when Xia Youtian took the children back to get things for Jiang's confinement period, Lihua went with them, but asked Taohua to help.

At this moment, Taohua was sitting on a small stool, holding a palm-leaf fan, looking at the fire carefully, very attentively.

When Liu saw this situation, an absurd and bold idea suddenly came to her mind.

If the peach blossoms were to bloom at this time...

No, this matter is too big! She dared not make a decision on her own without discussing it with Xia Youcai.

Liu tried hard to hold back the evil thought in her mind.

She kept reminding herself not to act rashly and that everything had to be discussed with the head of the family first.

Another half hour later, Xia Youtian and the children came over with large and small bags.

There were so many things that several people couldn't carry them all, so they had to push a cart.

Dragging so many things looks almost like moving house.

Zhou's face couldn't help but darken:

"Why did you prepare so many things? Are you afraid that I will be cold and hungry, or your wife?"

Xia Youtian explained calmly:

"Mother, Jiang is not suitable to move now, so she has to stay with you for confinement. This is already a great bother to you.

How can I have the nerve to work for you while asking you to pay for it?

Besides, not all these food and daily necessities are for Jiang.

There is also a portion for you and my father in this."

Xia Youtian spoke very naturally. After hearing what her son said, Zhou knew whether Xia Youtian was sincere or not. Her expression suddenly turned pale. The inexplicable anger disappeared faster than if it had wings.

From this day on, Jiang officially began her confinement period in the old house.

The locust flower also gradually grew from a newborn baby that everyone who saw it said was black to a newborn baby that was black.

Although she is still a little thin, her delicate facial features and smooth and delicate skin have gradually revealed themselves.

It really suits her name.

The whole family of the fourth house loved this little guy to death, and they were also particularly warm to Jiang, who was almost separated from them forever.

The whole family couldn't help but hang around Jiang and Huaihua. Xia Youtian still insisted on working in the fields every day, and Wulang still went to the village school every day, but the pickle workshop led by Xia Daohua had been temporarily suspended.

Liu sent Jinhua back to the town and asked Jinhua to stay at home and take care of Xia Youcai.

After giving the golden flowers to the old couple, she discussed her idea with Xia Youcai, and then returned to the Xia family's old house and continued to show her courtesy to the old couple.

When Liu came back this time, she not only brought gifts for the old couple and several sisters-in-law, but also brought back a small light green porcelain vase that was three villages tall.

The small porcelain bottle contains a dark brown powder, which is said to have a very strong medicinal effect.

Whether it is a woman in confinement or menstruation, if she takes this medicine, she will lose a lot of blood rapidly and cannot stop it, commonly known as hemorrhage.

If Xia Youcai didn't have special connections, ordinary people wouldn't be able to get this kind of medicine.

However, although Liu brought the medicine with her, it was not as simple as she thought to give it to Jiang.

Although the people in the fourth room didn't say it out loud, everyone was very wary of her.

Whenever she went to see Jiang, there was always someone by her side.

And no matter whether it was pear blossoms, rice blossoms, or water lily blossoms, everyone would stare at her intently, completely disregarding politeness.

Liu was puzzled. Could it be that he had made a mistake somewhere?

In fact, Liu had no flaws.

However, the children of the fourth room were all resentful of Jinhua for causing Jiang to give birth prematurely.

Therefore, whenever someone from the first wife's house showed up, they couldn't help but be alert, fearing that if they ignored them, someone from the first wife's house would cause trouble again.

Unexpectedly, this would actually have the opposite effect, and Liu's sinister plan would have failed.

Liu tried for more than ten days but didn't find an opportunity. Gradually, she lost her patience and stopped getting close to Jiang.

Of course, Liu did not give up the idea of ​​drugging the patient.

However, the strict precautions taken by the people in the fourth room would not work if they were put into the food. They could only go back to the original plan, lure the person who made the medicine away from the mountain, and then sprinkle the powder into Jiang's soup.

However, the medicine that Jiang drank was mostly for regulating the body and replenishing qi and blood. The medicinal properties might conflict with the powder that caused hemorrhage.

By then, it is hard to say whether it can play the expected role.
