Chapter 32 The Song Family Succeeds
After taking great pains to hide the body, Song sat down on the ground.
Her face was pale, her hair was disheveled, and her hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably.
The room was so quiet and closed that it became increasingly difficult to breathe.
Song didn't want to stay here any longer. She struggled to get up and stumbled to the door, turning back and saying:
"Don't forget about tonight."
After saying that, he ran out quickly.
The rain had subsided, but a steady patter of raindrops was still falling from the sky.
The two people hiding behind the haystack glanced at each other. Fen Tao was puzzled: "Why is the Second Madam here?"
Luo Tian stood up, bent over and prepared to go over to take a look.
"What are you doing?" Fen Tao grabbed him, "There are two people inside, what if they are discovered?"
Luo Tian lowered his voice: "There has been no movement in there, something is wrong, I'll go take a look."
Moreover, Lord Chang saw something and accidentally dropped the medicine bowl. The second lady ran out with a panicked look on her face. Something must have happened that they didn't know about.
Fen Tao's expression was serious as she reminded him, "Be careful."
Luo Tian felt his body and looked through the crack in the window, only to see him talking to himself in front of a cabinet.
"Xiaowu, I'm sorry."
"Don't worry, I will definitely compensate your family."
"Don't blame me, brother. We have a hard life. We are just pawns in the hands of those people..."
His voice choked, and he raised his arm and slapped himself.
You are so stupid! How dare you kill your own brother!
Are you worthy of your uncle and aunt?
Outside the window, Luo Tian's face turned pale, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Seeing that he didn't come back, Fen Tao followed him.
She was about to speak when Luo Tian shushed her. The two of them tiptoed to the corner of the room. She looked puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Master Chang... seems to be dead." Luo Tian seemed calm on the surface, but his fingers were shaking slightly and his mind was in a mess. "What should we do? Let's go find Master Liang."
Someone died?
Fear also appeared on Fen Tao's face, but seeing that Luo Tian, who was younger than her, was so calm, she took a deep breath and bit her lip and said, "No."
If Captain Liang knew about this, how would they explain their presence here?
Why don't you go in and save people?
After some deep thought, she finally decided: "You go find the lady, I'll stay here and watch."
Seeing that he didn't move, Fen Tao urged, "Go quickly."
"Oh!" Luo Tian nodded blankly.
"Wait." Fen Tao rubbed his cheek and patted his shoulder. "Cheer up, be careful not to be noticed."
Not long after Luo Tian left, Fen Tao heard loud snoring coming from the room.
…
As night falls, the canteen is already busy.
"Where are the five little ones? Where did they go to play?"
The cook was not there, and someone couldn't stop muttering, and then went out to look for someone.
Lao Xin quickly stopped the man and said, "Okay, Xiaowu has been busy all the time, let him take a break, and we will all cook together tonight."
"Old Xin, you came to help even though you were injured. I must talk to Xiao Wu tomorrow."
Old Xin smiled and said nothing.
Song sat in the corner, glancing over here from time to time.
Luo Wenhong came over and looked her over: "You look weird today."
Song's fingers hidden in her sleeves trembled. Even the second master could see it?
No, I have to stay calm. It would be bad if someone saw me.
She curled her lips and said, "There is food in the room that the adults have given you. You and the children should go and eat it. Don't eat here tonight."
Luo Wenhong's eyes lit up: "Why didn't I see it? Where is it?"
Song told him where the food was hidden, and Luo Wenhong got up and took his three children back.
"etc."
"What's wrong?"
Song laughed at herself and thought, forget it, what difference would it make if she told the Second Master.
She shook her head: "It's okay, I just want to remind you to remember to call mother."
As for that biased father, he didn't care about them anyway, so why should she think about him?
Holding his stomach that had been hungry for several days, Luo Wenhong swallowed his saliva and said, "Next time, I will definitely leave some food for my mother."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Song was almost mad at him.
Just as I was about to go find my mother and ask her to go back to her room, someone called out, "Dinner is ready..."
Tian walked nimbly to the first line.
Song's face was hesitant, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she swallowed it.
Lao Xin called the person who was distributing the food aside and took the opportunity to give Song a look.
Then he sent the people in line away: "We'll serve dinner when everyone is here. Go back and wait."
Tonight's meal is simple, just a pancake and a soup.
The officials had an extra dish of stir-fried pork with radish for dinner. Captain Liang would always ask the cooks to make more and give some to Zhu Mingqing.
Old Xin had already inquired about it and told Song that she could just put the poison in a small portion of stir-fried dish next to it.
Everyone sighed and dispersed, and taking this opportunity, Song sprinkled poison directly into the soup.
She was already nervous, and accidentally dropped the paper bag into the wooden barrel where the soup was being boiled.
Song's face turned pale, and Tian's voice came from the side: "Second daughter-in-law, come and massage my legs, they are so sore."
For fear of attracting more attention, Song didn't dare to pick it up.
What should I do? What if Lao Xin finds out?
She was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead.
The strength in his hands increased, causing Tian to curse: "You want to hurt me to death!"
Only when Lao Xin saw her hand did he let the official who was distributing the food go back.
The officer saw a piece of paper floating in the soup, but he didn't think much of it, thinking it had fallen in accidentally.
He picked up the wooden spoon next to him and scooped it out.
Song breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately...
"Dinner is ready."
Tian quickly stood up, not looking tired at all.
Song's massage hands stopped in mid-air, and when he saw those people about to enter, he showed a strange smile that was neither a smile nor a smile.
Suddenly, a clear shout came from the door.
"Don't eat it, it's poisonous!"
Zhu Mingqing hurried back to stop it, a trace of anxiety appearing on her usually gentle face.
The lively atmosphere was broken, and everyone looked at the bowls in their hands in disbelief.
Click——
Song's heart skipped a beat and she looked over in disbelief.
Lao Xin's face trembled and the corners of his mouth drooped.
Neither of them expected that when they were about to succeed, Zhu Mingqing actually jumped out.
How did she know?
They looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Liang He stood up with a serious expression and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhu Mingqing had come running back, her face flushed and she was a little breathless as she spoke. She came up to Song and Lao Xin and asked, "Don't you... want to say something?"
Song felt guilty and quickly stood up, shouting, "What do I have to say? You came in and said it was poisoned. It seems that you suspect I poisoned you."
