"Changrui reads the book you gave him over and over at home every day. Now that the autumn harvest is over in the village, it's almost time to send him to a private school to continue his studies."
Qin Hexuan nodded and said, "Your dishes today are excellent. Everyone in the flower hall is full of praise. Even my aunt used a little more than usual today.
"My mother just said that it seems that the food that Sister Ye made on the road was just a joke for us and she didn't show her true ability at all."
Qin Hexuan was joking, but Mrs. Ye didn't get it. She was startled and quickly explained, "The conditions on the road are limited, so naturally, all I made are home-cooked dishes. Besides, my cooking skills aren't that great. Many of the dishes today were prepared with the guidance of Mr. Jiang..."
Listening to the seemingly familiar conversation between the two people, Mr. Jiang standing aside was dumbfounded.
It seems that Boss Ye not only did not lie, but also kept his words to himself.
How can it be as simple as just knowing each other?
As he was thinking about it, he heard Mrs. Ye bringing the topic to himself.
So he quickly said modestly: "It's mainly because Madam You is a good cook. What I mentioned were just some minor details in the presentation of the dish."
After Mr. Jiang finished speaking, he saw three people standing at the door talking in an awkward manner, so he asked, "Young Master Qin, are you here to look for Qingtian?"
Mrs. Ye also said, "Qingtian is in there. I'll go call her out."
She wanted to turn around and go in, but suddenly remembered why Mr. Jiang called her out, so she stopped and asked, "Can I go in now?"
"Yes, yes..." Mr. Jiang thought to himself, do I dare to say no?
Unexpectedly, just when Mrs. Ye entered the room, two servants of the Jiang family just came out escorting Tian Xiaohui.
"Master, we've caught her red-handed." The servant, not noticing the master and servant, held up a bamboo pipe with a stopper. "She used the excuse of going to the toilet and tried to secretly throw away the pipe, but we caught her in the act.
"I've asked a doctor to check it out. The bamboo tube was indeed filled with water boiled with senna leaves..."
When the servant said this, he realized that Mr. Jiang was winking at him.
But out of inertia, he still said the last sentence.
Mr. Jiang gave a helpless smile, he couldn't hide it anymore.
Qin Hexuan, who had been standing outside the door and heard all these words, had indeed asked, "Mr. Jiang, what on earth is going on?"
Before Mr. Jiang could figure out how to answer, Mrs. Nie had already told Qin Hexuan what had happened in a few words, implicitly taking the blame on herself.
Even so, Mr. Jiang was still disappointed. Although nothing went wrong because the matter was handled in time, it was still a huge hidden danger and mistake.
If the Qin family insists on pursuing the matter, I will also be to blame.
After hearing this, Qin Hexuan frowned.
Senna leaves are indeed not a strong poison. It seems that the person who gave the poison and the person behind it did not really want to kill anyone, but just wanted to cause some trouble for Mr. Jiang.
However, this medicine may not cause much harm to ordinary people, it may just make them go to the toilet more often.
This may not be the case for Princess Rui, who already has poor health.
Even if there is no danger to life, it will definitely be extremely harmful to the body.
Moreover, two dishes were served before the drinks. Everyone was skeptical at first, but later they praised the food highly.
If you serve drinks at this time, no one will doubt it and will rush to taste it.
In this way, it is basically difficult for anyone to escape.
Thinking of this, Qin Hexuan looked at Mrs. Ye with fear and gratitude.
"It's really thanks to Aunt Ye that she noticed something was wrong today. Otherwise, if this chrysanthemum honey drink was served to the table, everyone would definitely drink a lot of it.
"Since today's incident didn't happen in the end, telling anyone about it won't do any good.
"As long as Mr. Jiang can hand Tian Xiaohui over to me, this matter will end here. How about that?"
Jiang Yuanwai had not expected Qin Hexuan to actually take the initiative to help cover up the matter. He was so moved that he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to him on the spot. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Qin. I will lock Tian Xiaohui in the woodshed right away. You can send someone to take her away. We can just pretend that this incident never happened."
Qin Hexuan nodded and said, "Please pay more attention to the dinner tonight. This kind of situation cannot happen again."
"Of course, of course. I'll sit in the kitchen and watch them prepare it tonight. I'll make sure nothing goes wrong."
Mr. Jiang followed Qin Hexuan with a nod and a bow. When he looked up, he saw Qingtian coming out of the house.
"Brother Qin, you're here!" Qingtian said hello and immediately turned to Mr. Jiang and said, "Grandpa Jiang, look, I told you that Brother Qin would come to see me after dinner."
"Yes, yes, Grandpa Jiang knows that our Qingtian is so well-behaved that he will definitely not lie."
Then Mr. Jiang watched Qingtian run to Qin Hexuan.
Qin Hexuan, who had just been speaking like a little adult, immediately smiled and even squatted down to catch Qingtian who was running over.
"Have you eaten yet? What did you have for lunch?"
Although Mrs. Ye and the others had not eaten yet, she would not let Qingtian starve, so she immediately cooked noodles for Qingtian with broth after finishing cooking.
A handful of pea tips, a few slices of braised beef, and a plump white poached egg were put into the noodles.
Qingtian was very happy with the meal, and she looked very satisfied when she talked about it with Qin Hexuan.
Qin Hexuan felt a little sad when listening to this. He remembered that he had eaten more than a dozen dishes at noon, while Qingtian could only eat a bowl of noodles in the kitchen. He felt that Qingtian must not be having a good life at his adoptive parents' home.
