Chapter 165: The Master and the Servant Died
Su Qingwan didn't take the tea bowl for the time being. She looked at the maid in front of her with slightly cold eyes.
"Aren't you the maid who serves my elder sister? Is my elder sister feeling better now?"
"Replying to Miss Four, the doctor said that Miss Eldest still needs to rest for a few days. Now that Miss Eldest has rested, I will come over here to help."
Chunyu told the reason he had thought of long ago.
"That's good. Big sister needs to take good care of her body."
As Su Qingwan spoke, she took the tea bowl, slowly put it to her nose and sniffed it gently. There was only the fragrance of tea leaves, and no other smell.
"The tea is good. Did you make it?" Su Qingwan asked with a smile.
Chunyu nodded. She was just following orders. Don't blame her. Her family's lives are in the hands of the lady.
The lady loves the eldest daughter so much. If I don’t obey her, I will definitely be sold to those dirty places.
I'm sorry, please drink it!
Chunyu's eyes became more eager. The bowl of tea had been brought to Su Qingwan's mouth, but she didn't open her mouth.
Finally, she opened her mouth... Chunyu was secretly delighted.
But the next moment, Su Qingwan grabbed Chunyu, pinched her cheeks, and poured a bowl of tea directly into her mouth.
"Asshole! What are you doing?"
Old Mrs. Kang and others were shocked. Was Su Qingwan crazy? Why did she suddenly force the maid to drink tea?
Chunyu choked and coughed. Although some of the tea sprayed out, she still swallowed a lot of it.
Panic spread across Chunyu's heart, and she desperately dug her throat. She was extremely scared. Something had been added to the tea. She had added it herself. If anyone drank this thing, they would definitely die.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh!" Chunyu retched repeatedly but was unable to spit out the tea.
Lin Xiang took a towel and wiped Su Qingwan's hands. She also heard what Qingda said when she came over just now.
Who would have thought that Chunyu was such a ruthless person and actually brought back something that could kill people.
Although she didn't know why she brought the poison back, she guessed it when she saw her serving tea to Su Qingwan.
Fortunately, the fourth young lady was alert and did not drink the cup of tea.
"Su Qingwan, what are you doing?" Old Kang reacted and yelled immediately.
"Grandma Kang, I just saw a bug in this cup of tea. How could I drink such disgusting water? Of course I fed it to her. Didn't she say that she made this tea?"
Su Qingwan said slowly.
Chunyu was still retching, but she felt as if there was a fire burning in her stomach, which was extremely uncomfortable, so she opened her mouth again.
"Wow!"
A large mouthful of black blood spurted out instantly.
Chunyu's eyes were filled with horror. She raised her hands in fear. Her fingernails had begun to turn black.
She is poisoned!
Chunyu rushed to Liu in a hurry, tears of blood in her eyes rolling down her dark face. She grabbed Liu's skirt and said with all her might, "Madam, save me, save me..."
Liu was so frightened that her soul left her body. She howled and fainted.
Xiao Kang and Su Lihan were also frightened and screamed.
Old Mrs. Kang's face also turned pale, but the old marquis was calm, but his hand trembled, and he threw away the tea he had just taken two sips of.
"Poison, this is poisoning, who poisoned it?"
The ladies were shouting in panic and no one answered his question.
Helplessly, the old marquis had to let the mother and daughter of the second wife leave first. The main reason was that the two of them shouted too loudly and it gave him a headache.
"Fourth girl, what is going on?" the old marquis asked Su Qingwan.
Su Qingwan looked bewildered. "Grandfather, I don't know either. When I was drinking tea just now, I saw a dead bug in the tea. I thought Chunyu was not careful when making tea, so I fed it to her. I didn't expect that the tea she brought me was actually poisonous."
Her eyes were red with grievance, she took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears that did not appear, and continued:
"This happened in Tinglan Courtyard. I know my aunt doesn't like me, but how could you, how could you be so cruel? Wuuwuwu, please grandfather save me, and please grandmother Kang let me go!"
Liu, who had just woken up, immediately jumped up as if she had been stung by a wasp and waved her hands repeatedly, "Impossible, I have never done such a thing, don't accuse me."
"Don't try to frame me."
Old Kang also started roaring.
"Let the people from Jingzhao Yin investigate and we'll know whether it's a false accusation or not," said Su Qingwan.
"no!"
The old marquis said immediately.
This is a family scandal that cannot be told to the outside world. Especially since it happened in the first house, the rumors outside are already very detrimental to Su Zhiyi's career. If there is another internal conflict, the emperor will be furious and directly remove his official position.
Liu also nodded suddenly, saying that they couldn't let the Jingzhao Yin's people come to investigate.
"Okay, Fourth Girl, Grandfather knows that you have been wronged. Go back and have a good rest. Grandfather will give you an explanation for this matter."
"In that case, I'll listen to grandpa." Su Qingwan gave face to the old marquis and looked like someone who was very easy to talk to.
As soon as everyone left, the old marquis immediately ordered a thorough investigation. In less than two hours, Su Qingwan found out that her grandfather had moved Su Yingxue to the woodshed, and asked Liu to send her away early the next morning.
"Miss, the old marquis didn't take her life?" Lin Xiang said angrily.
She was thinking about going back and telling the prince and princess about this, but the eldest lady suppressed her and prevented her from reporting it to them.
In Su Qingwan's words, the two elderly people are too old to stand this kind of stimulation.
Lin Xiang is now Su Qingwan's maid, so she can only agree, but she still feels uncomfortable.
"It's okay. I'll go see this elder sister off tonight."
I guess Su Yingxue’s days are coming to an end!
That night, Su Qingwan went to the woodshed. The old woman guarding the woodshed was drugged by Xiaonian and would not wake up until at least the next morning.
In the woodshed, Su Yingxue was sometimes drowsy and sometimes awake. The wounds on her body were painful every moment, as if someone was constantly cutting her flesh with a knife. But Yun Rou said that it was her skin recovering and it would be healed soon.
"Big sister, I'm here to see you."
Hearing the voice, Su Yingxue thought Su Yunrou had come. She looked up and found that the person standing in front of her was Su Qingwan.
Su Yingxue wore a peacock pearl hairpin on her head, her eyes curved in a smile, and she walked slowly with lotus steps. The mandarin duck heart-shaped pendant on her waist was particularly eye-catching.
"How do you have these two things?"
Su Yingxue suddenly roared.
"Why are you so angry, big sister? This was given to me by my great aunt. Look at this peacock pearl hairpin, it is so lifelike and ingenious. Under the night light, the two night pearls are shining brightly, so gorgeous."
Su Qingwan came in front of Su Yingxue, pulled out her hairpin, and began to praise her in the candlelight.
"This mandarin duck concentric jade pendant is so beautiful. The jade is transparent and the carving is exquisite. The two mandarin ducks are so vivid that they seem to have flown out. When I put it on, I feel like my whole temperament is different."
Su Qingwan continued to pat the jade pendant around her waist and said.
"go away!"
"Big sister is so pitiful, her parents don't care, and her brothers and sisters don't love her!"
Su Qingwan stared at Su Yingxue with a look of pity on her face.
"You are talking nonsense. You must have used some trick to get these things. You want to kill me, so you are so angry with me!"
Su Yingxue started to yell, tears streaming down her face like water.
Mother really doesn't love me! She really doesn't love me. She only loves Yunrou and Yuejie!
"One or two of the things that big sister gave you may be a coincidence. I'm afraid your body will never recover. It's all your good sister Su Yunrou's fault. Do you think the ointment she gave you is a good thing?" Su Qingwan sneered.
"You are talking nonsense. She is my biological sister. Why would she want to harm me?"
"Because you are the shame of the Marquis' Mansion! You deserve to die just because you are her biological sister. You have such a terrible reputation. If you are allowed to live, Su Yunrou will never be able to hold her head up. If you die, not only will you have the opportunity to wash away your dirty reputation, but your parents and your biological brothers and sisters will not be implicated. So tell me, who wants you to die the most?" Su Qingwan's voice echoed in Su Yingxue's ears like a spell.
"You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense, it is not true, absolutely not true!"
"And your good brother, your aunt asked him to send you the farm's land deed and banknotes, but she despised you as an abandoned woman and a vicious woman who stank. She lost the land deed and money in a blink of an eye, and finally pretended to be generous and left you fifty taels. She really treated you like a beggar, big sister?"
Su Qingwan had a look of pity on her face, and as she spoke, she wiped the corners of her tearless eyes.
"You bullshit!"
Su Yingxue's voice was much softer this time. When she shouted this, she herself lacked confidence.
Indeed, Yue Jie only took fifty taels of silver. No wonder he was humiliated that day and his wife was hesitant when she returned to the Marquis's Mansion.
This all makes sense.
"And your father only cares about those vixens outside. How can he remember a daughter like you? You will only bring shame to him. Maybe she will even lose her official position. So your uncle is already the greatest mercy by not seeing you."
Su Qingwan sighed as she spoke.
"you..."
At this moment, Su Yingxue felt powerless all over and was unable to refute every word Su Qingwan said.
"Do you want me to talk about Grandfather and Grandmother Kang? No, right? Since you are dying, I, your sister, should come and see you off."
"Hahaha, Su Qingwan, was this what I am experiencing planned by you?"
Su Yingxue laughed sadly, her eyes full of despair, helplessness and unwillingness!
After hearing this, Su Qingwan just smiled coldly and turned away.
"Come back! Tell me, what else have you planned?"
Su Yingxue reached out to grab her anxiously, but caught nothing. All that remained in her sight was a snow-purple skirt gradually moving away.
