Jing Yi stopped Wei Ting with a sad look on his face: "Why don't you take me out?"
You don’t have any money… Wei Ting said seriously, “Tianyutang is the City Lord’s Mansion’s lackey. Who knows if we’ll run into Xie Jinnian. If he sees us standing together, he’ll definitely guess that we’re the real murderers who killed Mingshi Luohan.”
Jing Yi said seriously: "You don't think so."
My son has grown up and it’s not easy to fool him anymore.
Wei Ting patted his shoulder: "I'll take you with me next time, okay?"
Believe me, it is definitely for your own good not to take you with you. -After the visit from Baihua Palace, Chu Feifeng clearly felt that Madam Ji's mood was much worse.
Ji Minglou did not come to dinner, which made Madam Ji even more upset. She even took her anger out on a little maid.
The little maid was punished and hid in a corner crying in grievance.
Chu Feifeng quietly gave her two pancakes.
The little maid burst into tears: "Thank you, Yunniang."
Chu Feifeng comforted her with a few words and went to Madam Ji's room to report this month's accounts to her.
Madam Ji was still kind to Chu Feifeng.
After all, Chu Feifeng is so capable.
At first, she was only responsible for taking care of her yard, and later, Madam Ji handed over all the chores of the entire backyard to her.
Chu Feifeng has been the head of the Wei family for many years. He is extremely capable, learns quickly, and does an excellent job, which makes Madam Ji like him very much.
Madam Ji looked at the accounts made by Chu Feifeng. They were clear and easy to understand.
Today, there is finally something that suits my heart.
"Ma'am, I'll leave now if nothing else."
"Um."
Madam Ji nodded.
Chu Feifeng had just taken a few steps when Madam Ji suddenly called her: "Come with me to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow."
Chu Feifeng was delighted. After waiting for so long, he finally got the chance to enter the City Lord's Mansion.
She didn't show it on her face, and said softly, "Madam, have you forgotten? I have to go to the storehouse to count the fabrics tomorrow. I should prepare clothes for the servants for the next season."
"That's what I told you." Mrs. Ji remembered.
If others have the opportunity to go to the City Lord's Mansion, wouldn't they rush to follow?
Chu Feifeng's behavior made Madam Ji feel that she was indifferent and different from ordinary servants.
Madam Ji said, "Let Liuzhi go to the storehouse to count the cloth tomorrow."
Chu Feifeng bowed and said, "Yes."
The next day, Madam Ji really took Chu Feifeng to the City Lord's Mansion.
There were two maids accompanying them.
Chu Feifeng is very quiet and will not take the initiative to please Madam Ji. Only when Madam Ji takes the initiative to speak, will he reply to Madam Ji and chat for a few words.
Every time he spoke, it was just right, making Madam Ji feel that Chu Feifeng's words were meaningful and tactful.
After taking Chu Feifeng out, Madam Ji began to look down on ordinary maids.
Madam Ji went to visit Madam Ru.
Chu Feifeng had no idea what the two talked about. She and two maids were waiting outside.
The first time he entered the City Lord's Mansion, Chu Feifeng behaved very well.
About a quarter of an hour later, Madam Ji came out.
It was so fast that Chu Feifeng was a little surprised.
On the way back, Mrs. Ji went to the spice shop and bought some spices.
When Chu Feifeng was at the Wei family, she often helped her mother-in-law to make perfumes and was quite familiar with spices.
One of them is musk.
There was nothing wrong with this, but the next day when she went to get the account book from Mrs. Ji's room, the other spices were still there, but the musk was gone.
Chu Feifeng had been with Madam Ji for so long that he was quite familiar with her temperament.
Musk is such an expensive thing, there is no way Madam Ji would be willing to give it to her servants.
If it is a gift, Madam Ji will make a big show of it as she cares about her reputation.
Although it seems to have nothing to do with the Wei family’s case for the time being, it’s still better to tell Xiaoqi.
Xiao Qi is smart, maybe he can think of some clues.
Chu Feifeng went to Huoshamen on the pretext of going out to buy something.
Lu Aotian was shocked.
Grandpa and grandma! So fast! Chu Feifeng handed the letter to Lu Aotian.
Lu Aotian immediately sent it to Baihua Palace.
Just as the three-day deadline was approaching, Su Xiaoxiao brought the three little ones back to Baihua Palace.
The Palace Master saw that only the big tiger's phoenix was left of the three phoenix birds, and the other two had all turned into little chickens covered in rouge and powder.
She asked hesitantly, "Erhu, Xiaohu, where is your Phoenix...chicken?"
Xiaohu said proudly: "I exchanged meals with Brother Xiaozhu!"
Palace Master: “…”
Xing'er and Lingyin took the children to play with Sihu.
The saint sat on the roof in a daze.
The Palace Master and Su Xiaoxiao and others sat together to discuss matters.
On the small table in the middle was Chu Feifeng's handwritten letter.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "The wife of the headmaster of Tianyu Hall is Madam Ru's elder sister-in-law. She only stayed for a quarter of an hour because Madam Ru had a miscarriage and needed to rest. Afterwards, the headmaster's wife immediately went to buy spices, among which musk was used by her.
"In addition to being a spice, musk is also a medicinal ingredient that can dispel wind and cold, remove dampness and activate collaterals. It is often used to treat fever, coma, amenorrhea, dystocia and stillbirth, and can also be used to induce labor."
Jing Yi asked: "Why do you want to induce labor? Is she pregnant? Doesn't she want this child?"
Little boy, you are so naive.
Even if a wife wanted to induce labor, it would most likely be for her husband's concubine.
But this happened after the hall master's wife met Madam Ru, so it should not be Ji Minglou's concubine who wanted to induce labor.
After all, Madam Ru is Ji Minglou's biological sister. How could she possibly harm her brother's flesh and blood?
Wei Ting said: "Jing Yi, do you still remember how Madam Ru's maid addressed Madam Ru on the street that day?"
Jing Yi thought for a moment: "Madam of the City Lord?"
Wei Ting said: "Madam Ru needs to give birth to a son in order to become the wife of the city lord. The fetus is still in her belly, it could be a boy or a girl. Unless she is sure that she is carrying a boy. Can the doctor tell by feeling her pulse?"
The latter sentence was asked to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "No."
The Palace Master asked, "Sour boy, spicy girl?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "This actually lacks basis."
Wei Ting: "Then there is only one possibility left."
Su Xiaoxiao: "A cat replaces a prince."
The palace master suddenly realized: "So that's it."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "In order to make it look real, she must have found someone who was about the same age as her, and to increase the success rate, there must be more than one pregnant woman. But because she fell a few days ago, she will go into labor early, but the others are not due yet, so she used musk to induce labor."
The Palace Master asked in confusion, "If that's the case, why did she ask the ghost lady to deliver her baby? Isn't she afraid of being exposed?"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Either, she is gambling; or, she openly invites the ghost lady, but actually arranges people to prevent the ghost lady from coming. She does this, firstly to appear to have a clear conscience, and secondly, to take the opportunity to frame her mortal enemy, saying that someone can't bear to see her give birth safely."
The Palace Master slapped the table and said, "This bitch must be trying to frame the Hundred Flowers Palace!"
Su Xiaoxiao continued, "There is another possibility. She is sure that she can control the ghost woman and help her to cover up her lie this time. The letter from the eldest sister-in-law came at the right time."
Wei Ting agreed with Su Xiaoxiao's words: "I should also thank my mother, otherwise it would not be so easy to meet my sister-in-law."
The palace master felt very relieved to hear this.
Ling Yun snorted.
Wei Ting said: "She has difficulty moving around outside, and it is Madam Ji who is walking around for her. As long as you keep an eye on Madam Ji, you can find those people."
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "If Madam Ru has a seizure, they will start inducing labor... I'd better take the Saint Girl to live in the Nie family. If she really attacks Grandma Nie, at least we can take precautions."
