Chapter 310 Died in Disrepute
Erzhu Huaji had no intention of telling him how wrong his intelligence was. He just took a sip of tea and said lightly: "There is no one in Tianqi who knows how to kill. If she died because of a snake, the emperor would know it was us without even thinking about it."
"Then, could the prince save us from the emperor?"
Prince Yu licked his lips and said, "Of course."
Knowing that he was pretending, Erzhu Huaji did not continue to mention it, but said, "If she died, the emperor would definitely investigate it to the end, but if it is another case, the emperor would not only not investigate it, but would also have to guard against her suicide."
Prince Yu was slightly stunned and looked at him in confusion.
Erzhu Huaji had never thought that Prince Yu could be so stupid. His hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. He forced himself not to show a look of disgust and said, "I heard that women of Tianqi value chastity more than life."
Some things can only be said briefly here.
Prince Yu connected the context and suddenly understood.
Yes, a woman who has lost her chastity, even if she doesn't care, can be spit to death by the people in Shengjing.
When he thought that Jiang Zhiyu would die in disgrace, Prince Yu couldn't hide his joy.
...
While they were plotting here, Jiang Zhiyu was in Xu's house, training Xu Zhenchen and Jiang Kang'an to be alert.
The sudden appearance of drugs in the food was secondary. The main thing was that Jiang Zhiyu's appearance was hard to guard against.
Jiang Kangan had just opened his eyes while lying on the bed after his lunch break, and he met Jiang Zhiyu's eyes right above him.
Although Jiang Kangan was brave, he couldn't help but be frightened by her and his heartbeat accelerated a little.
"..."
Jiang Kangan sat up helplessly, stretched out his hands to hold her and put her on the bed, and said: "Zhiyu, big brother has really learned his lesson. Don't worry, I will never let Xiao Chuji succeed again."
Jiang Zhiyu crossed her arms and looked at him and said: "I just put the medicine in your bowl at breakfast. At lunch, at the same time, with the same method, you were still poisoned."
Jiang Kangan: "..."
"That's because at home, no matter who it is, they will relax."
"Still talking hard."
Jiang Zhiyu narrowed her eyes slightly. Jiang Kangan had a bad feeling. When he was about to admit his mistake, Jiang Zhiyu had already stood up.
"You can't let your guard down in the mansion."
[There are many people with two minds in this mansion. ]
Jiang Kangan: "..."
He really couldn't refute this.
[There are still several people who want to climb into your bed. According to your current alertness, you can only eat at noon. ]
[Because they will succeed sooner or later. ]
Jiang Kangan: "..."
It was his fault. Too much leisure time will indeed make people degenerate.
Zhiyu was doing this for his own good, but he treated her as a child and just played with her...
Jiang Kangan felt a little guilty.
[Speaking of climbing into bed, it seems that the maid who caused my uncle and aunt to be separated will climb into bed in the next few days. ]
Jiang Kangan: "!!!"
[No, I have to go and take a look. I can't let that person succeed. ]
Because of taking Jiang Zhiyu's medicine at lunch, Xu Jinchen is still in a state of losing his sense of taste. He picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip. He still couldn't taste anything. He frowned slightly and put the tea down.
The maidservant's eyes lit up when she saw him pick up the teacup, but she was not happy for a few seconds before she saw him put the cup down again.
She blinked and lowered her head slightly to hide the disappointment in her eyes.
What's going on? She had already figured it out. He would drink a cup of tea after meals every day. Why is it so difficult for him to drink tea when it's her turn to be on duty? !
"Master, is this tea not fresh? I'll make another cup."
"No need," Xu Jinchen refused without thinking.
She couldn't taste it now, so even if she made it again, she would just put it aside.
The maidservant gritted her teeth secretly.
If she missed this opportunity today, she didn't know how long she would have to wait, and the eldest son was not often in the mansion. If she missed this period of time, how could she meet the eldest son in the mansion, and it would be her turn to be on duty?
Before she could think of a way to deal with it, Jiang Zhiyu's voice came from the door -
"Uncle, I'm here to deliver the antidote."
The maid: "!!!"
Her pupils suddenly shook.
It shouldn't be like this, this medicine needs to be taken together with the jade pendant on her waist to work. If you just drink tea, even if the miracle doctor comes, it will never be discovered!
She comforted herself in this way, but her movements still showed a bit of panic.
Xu Jinchen looked at her several times.
Jiang Zhiyu put the antidote on the table, Xu Jinchen ate one, and his face suddenly twisted.
"Why, it's bitter?"
This was the first time in his life that he had eaten something so bitter.
"All medicines are bitter."
Jiang Zhiyu said as if it was a matter of course.
[You won't learn your lesson if it's not bitter.]
Xu Zhenchen: "..."
As someone who had been drugged four times in one day, he really couldn't refute it.
Jiang Zhiyu snorted lightly, looked at the tea on the table, and then looked at the maid who had secretly glanced at her several times, narrowing her eyes slightly.
[Is this the maid who climbed into my uncle's bed?]
Xu Zhenchen: "???"
[When the Xu family hadn't gotten into trouble, my uncle and his aunt had a good relationship. As a result, when he returned home one time, he was drugged by this maid in broad daylight. The maid pretended to be forced, and was seen by the servants. My uncle had no way to defend himself.]
[Originally, my aunt felt guilty towards my uncle because she couldn't get pregnant. Although my uncle didn't care, my aunt couldn't get over it. When she heard that my uncle favored a maid, she was both sad and happy.]
[My uncle had no choice but to take this person into the mansion. As a result, this maid was restless and coveted the position of the lady. She poisoned my aunt. In the end, although the matter was exposed, my aunt was also poisoned to death.]
Xu Zhenchen: "!!!"
[This poison can only be seen with her jade pendant. Let me see how to make my uncle find out. 】
"Where did you buy this jade pendant? It's a nice style. Let me take a look." Xu Jinchen's tone was calm, but there seemed to be a stormy undercurrent slowly surging in his words.
"It's a relic left to me by my mother," the maid saw the eldest son talking to her, and there was some joy in her eyes. She stroked the jade pendant, took it off her waist, and handed it to Xu Jinchen.
Xu Jinchen's slender fingers played with the jade pendant. The maid was still smiling, but when she saw him getting closer and closer to the teacup, the maid's smile froze on her face.
She swallowed nervously.
It's okay. Jiang Zhiyu has been here for so long. If he found any clues, he would have told her long ago. I have to stay calm.
As she was thinking, she saw Xu Zhenchen's hand loosen, and the jade pendant fell directly into the teacup!
