Chapter 453 Someone Poisoned
"Miss, guess who wrote this?" Luo Kui asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at the large, majestic characters written in a flamboyant style. There was probably no one else except the Emperor who could make Luo Kui look like that!
"Miss!" Luo Kui looked at Xiao Jiuyue in shock. The young lady had just returned, so how could her guess be so accurate?
Xiao Jiuyue looked at her with a smile. The Xiao family had suffered so much and been wronged so much this time, but now they had made great contributions and saved the people from dire straits. The emperor had to make a gesture of compensation, otherwise, how could he appease the hearts of those court officials?
"I didn't tell anyone about my return, did I?" Xiao Jiuyue turned back and asked Doctor Wang as he walked towards the mansion, "Master, this is my home."
"The Xiao family is so big!" Doctor Wang guessed that Xiao Jiuyue's identity was not ordinary, so his family must be big. But now he saw that it was completely different from the county magistrate's mansion where Su Hong married!
So, why did Miao Hong feel that marrying into the county magistrate's mansion would make her almost become a princess?
"Master, you'll be staying in the front yard later. Jiayuan will be here too. You've had a hard time on the road, so get some rest." Xiao Jiuyue had barely finished speaking when she heard Xiao Jiayuan running out: "Master, sister!"
As Xiao Jiayuan's clear voice sounded, Xiao Jiuyue turned around and saw that not only Xiao Jiayuan had come, but also her grandparents, mother, and all the second and third wives had come, in an orderly manner!
"Grandfather, grandmother, mother, are you going out?" Xiao Jiuyue walked up quickly and greeted them with a smile. Second Master Xiao and Third Master Xiao had met before at a farewell ceremony. Three years had passed in a flash, and Second Master Xiao, who once had a pot belly, had now lost weight and had a standard body shape.
"Yu'er, we've come specially to take you home!" Grandfather Xiao's beard was gray, and a few years of life in Lingnan had made him thinner, but his eyes were bright and his loving eyes were full of admiration: "Young lady from the Xiao family, well done!"
"With my grandfather and father as role models, a girl from my Xiao family naturally cannot be weak!" Xiao Jiuyue straightened her back. Her grandfather's praise and the love of her relatives made her feel happy from the bottom of her heart.
This is the kind of family love that I have never experienced in my previous life.
"Sister, are you all safe along the way?"
"Sister, are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen and make you something delicious!"
"Sister, we have cleaned up the yard where you live for you. Amber also planted your favorite flowers in the garden!"
Everyone chattered along with Xiao Jiuyue. Finally, it was Grandfather Xiao who spoke: "Alright, Yue'er has had a hard time traveling all the way. Let Yue'er go back to the yard to take a shower and change clothes, and then have a reunion dinner tonight!"
"By the way, send someone to ask if Jialing has time to come back." Grandfather Xiao added that the Xiao family had suffered such a disaster and now they were finally able to reunite, so they must have a good reunion.
Grandmother Xiao and her partner returned to Songxiangyuan, and the second and third wives also left. Grandfather Xiao brought Xiao Jiayuan with him to accompany his master, Doctor Xiao Wang. Only Su was left by Xiao Jiuyue's side!
"Yuer, I've prepared some snacks for you. Fill your stomach first." Su Su looked at her gently, full of love and heartache: "You've lost weight. I'll have someone prepare some good food for you tomorrow to nourish your body."
"Mom, Daddy has entered the palace and is in good health. Don't worry!" Xiao Jiuyue told the news about his father to reassure his beautiful mother.
"Girl, I'm going to the kitchen to take a look. Today is the day for our family to get together!" Su Su was afraid that Xiao Jiuyue would say something again, so she didn't see her off and went straight to the kitchen.
Su Su thought, she had to go and try them herself. Brother Bo loved to eat the Nine-Turn Pig Intestines, and Yue'er loved to eat the Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs...
Lanyue Pavilion.
Xiao Jiuyue took a look at the roses planted in the yard. She liked roses very much, white, yellow, pink, green, and two-color roses. Old Man Ai seemed to know that she liked them. She had also planted many roses in her house in Fu'an Village.
"Miss, how is it? Isn't it beautiful?" Luo Kui looked at the satisfied smile on Xiao Jiuyue's face and said, "Lian Xin and I put a lot of thought into planting roses with Aber. In addition to roses, we also planted other flowers, so that Miss can see beautiful flowers every month."
"Thank you for your trouble." Xiao Jiuyue walked into the house, and a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling came over her. Three years ago, the Xiao family was shrouded in a dark cloud, and a lot of messes were waiting for her. She didn't even take a good look at the yard where she lived.
The quaint courtyard, with its carved beams and painted rafters, is exquisite in every respect. It is different from the courtyard of the Xiao family's old house in Fu'an Village. The Xiao family's courtyard is large and exquisite.
Walking into the house, you will see soft carpets and a small hall for receiving guests. Passing through the screen, you will enter the inner room, which is covered with fine gauze curtains. Outside the large windows, roses are in full bloom. It is a beautiful sight.
"Miss, the hot water is ready. You can take a bath." Lian Xin's voice came, and she held the clothes while saying, "I guessed that Miss would be back soon, so we kept hot water in the small kitchen. We also picked a lot of roses to ensure that Miss would take a comfortable bath."
"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Jiuyue looked at the people who were busy working. The house that had not been lived in for a long time was cleaned spotlessly. It must have taken a lot of effort.
She had been living outside for the past six months, sleeping in the open air. Only at this time did Xiao Jiuyue remember that she was the eldest daughter of the Xiao family.
In the bath tub with flower petals, Xiao Jiuyue soaked in the warm water, feeling as if all the fatigue from the past few days had disappeared completely.
After taking a bath, Xiao Jiuyue felt much more relaxed. Lian Xin carefully twisted her hair. She said, "Tell me, what happened in Shengjing recently?"
"Miss, you just came back." Lianxin and Luokui looked at each other.
"I have nothing to do now." Xiao Jiuyue's gaze fell on the bronze mirror and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Miss, why don't we talk about it tomorrow? You just came back and you should get some rest." Lianxin was worried that after hearing this, Xiao Jiuyue would not even have the appetite for dinner.
"Speak." Xiao Jiuyue said briefly.
Lian Xin spoke like pouring beans, and the first thing she said made Xiao Jiuyue frown.
"Fortunately, the young lady was smart and sent Manager Jin to plant people in Qingfeng Temple. Otherwise, Miss Cui would have lost her life." Luo Kui said fearfully.
Lian Xin added, "Miss, don't worry too much. Miss Cui is safe now, but for some reason, the rash on her face won't go away."
"The rash hasn't gone away. Maybe someone poisoned us." Xiao Jiuyue narrowed her eyes slightly. The news that the Xiao family returned to Shengjing should have been known to those who were interested. The Xiao family was about to make a comeback.
