C53 Catch the Beast

Mu Ruqing sat in front of the sandalwood table and frowned as she drank the medicine. In her heart, she could not help but think that injections were more efficient, so she did not need to drink the bitter medicine.

"Lingyue, bring a cloak over?" Mu Ruqing walked to the door and ordered.

"Miss!" Xiangyi stomped her feet and said disappointedly, "Can't you wait a little longer before going?"

"I'm already better! Let's go." Mu Ruqing lifted her foot and left.

When they arrived at Mu Ruxuan's courtyard door, Lau Fenglan just came out from inside and saw Mu Ruqing. She blessed herself and said with concern, "Originally I wanted to look at Third Elder Sister and then go see Elder Sister. Now that I see her, is Elder Sister all right?"

"I have troubled Younger Sister to be worried. She is already very well. I hope that Younger Sister can pass a few words to Grandmother and say that I will go and greet her later. Younger Sister, take care." Mu Ruqing official smiled and brushed her sleeves as she walked in.

Just as she reached the door, she saw Mu Ruxuan pick up the double embroidered beauty fan. Mu Ruqing gave a look and Lingyue rushed in to snatch the fan and threw it onto the ground.

"What is Fourth Miss doing!" Mistress Ling frowned and wanted to pick up the fan but Mu Ruxuan also looked at her angrily.

Now that Mu Ruxuan was wearing a veil to cover her pustules, she should be much better.

"If Aunt wants older sister to be destroyed in the future, then pick it up!" Mu Ruqing's voice was hoarse but her imposing manner did not decrease, "You have been obedient these few days and did not use anything? This fan was used a few days ago?"

"No, it was always there before. Today when I got off the bed and saw it, just as I picked it up, you came." Mu Ruxuan said it with some grievance. Her eyes were full of hate and suspicion.

"Older sister, you better wash your hands properly!" Mu Ruqing ignored their emotions and said a bunch of things, making them confused.

Seeing that they did not understand, she had a headache. She shook her head helplessly and said, "That fan is poisonous. In other words, that fan made sister become like this!"

"What did you say!" Mu Ruxuan was shocked and stood up straight with a face full of disbelief.

"What nonsense are you saying!? This was sent by Eldest Prince! You're saying that Eldest Prince wanted to harm Xuan Er!" Mistress Ling naturally did not believe it too. She used a handkerchief to cover her nose and took a few steps back towards the fan.

"Did I say that it was Eldest Prince?" Mu Ruqing looked at Mistress Ling mockingly. Was her brain not enough? Then she looked down at the fan and took a few steps forward. "Sister takes this fan every day. This is a gift from Eldest Prince. If the poisonous powder was sprinkled on it, naturally no one would doubt it. After a while, Imperial Physician Gu will come. When that time comes, we will know. "

Mu Ruxuan walked over and leaned on Mistress Ling's shoulder. There were tears in her eyes. Mistress Ling comforted her and then a light flashed in her eyes," How did Fourth Miss know? "

You are still suspecting me? Mu Ruqing sneered in her heart and coldly looked at Mistress Ling without saying anything. Mistress Ling was stared at by her until she was at a loss for words for a moment.

"Miss, Imperial Physician Gu has arrived." Lingyue reported.

Mu Ruqing nodded and wrapped the handle of the fan with a handkerchief. She frowned slightly and said with respect, "Imperial Physician, look at the poisonous thing on the fan."

"Okay." Imperial Physician Gu took the fan and smelled it. He frowned and asked, "Does Third Miss often hold this fan?"

Mu Ruxuan nodded with red eyes. Imperial Physician Gu threw the fan away and said, "This is the fan!"

"Someone take it down and burn it." Mistress Ling stared at the fan and said sternly.

"Aunt." Mu Ruxuan called out weakly with reluctance in her eyes. Mistress Ling's face was resolute as she shook off her hand, not allowing any negotiation.

"Could it be that Aunt doesn't want to find out who did it?" Mu Ruqing said lightly, "Then wouldn't elder sister's crime be in vain?"

"This..." Mistress Ling was speechless.

"Aunt, we are like this..." Mu Ruqing went forward and whispered into her ear. Mistress Ling's eyes slowly revealed surprise and admiration...

A few days later.

"Do you know? I heard that the person who poisoned Third Miss was caught!" "Really? This kind of person should be beaten out of the mansion." A few rough messengers, servant girl, were discussing.

A delicate and pretty little servant girl also squeezed over. Her eyes were probing as she asked ingratiatingly, "Older sisters, what are you talking about?"

"You still don't know? Yesterday Mistress Ling met a sneaky servant girl in the kitchen and Mistress Ling asked her. She stammered for a long time but was unable to answer and Mistress Ling grabbed her up. After finding the poison powder on her body, Mistress Ling reported it to the madam. The madam hit her a hundred times and threw her out of the house!"

" Oh, dear sisters, I remembered that I still have things to do and left first! " servant girl forced a smile and found an excuse to quickly leave. servant girl was still talking behind them, but she could not hear a single word.

Servant girl's heart was beating very fast. She went to the room and sat down. "Squeak squeak squeak ~" On the bench, she took a few sips of the pottery tea cup that had a hole in it to calm herself down.

"Bang, bang, bang!" When she heard the sound of the door, servant girl was shocked. The water in the tea cup spilled out. She nervously looked at the closed door and slowly stuffed a piece of paper in through the crack of the door.

Servant girl did not move. After a while, she slowly walked over. After reading the contents of the letter, her eyes became fierce.

It was late at night. It was so quiet that only the sharp cries of Nightingale could be heard.

It was already midnight. servant girl carefully got up, afraid to disturb the sleeping person next to her, and tiptoed out.

Servant girl looked back three times with each step, and a slight sound would scare her.

It was not easy for her to reach Mu Ruxuan's room door. Little servant girl looked left and right to make sure that there was no one. She gently pushed open a crack and went in sideways.

Little servant girl looked at Mu Ruxuan's room. There were countless exquisite jade ornaments. Looking at the exquisite screen, even the floor was made of high quality bricks. Then she thought of the place where she lived. Seven or eight people squeezed into a room that was not even half the size of this place. He could not help but feel gloomy.

He took out a paper bag from his sleeve and picked up the double-sided embroidered fan that Yu Longzi had given him. He smiled evilly and looked in the direction of Mu Ruxuan's bed and was about to shake it.

"Come on, catch the thief! Someone come!"

When she suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door, servant girl was so frightened that she shivered. Her body trembled and a lot of poisonous powder was spilled. servant girl immediately squatted down and wanted to use her hands to bring it back. From time to time, she looked towards the door. Unfortunately, the powder was too thin and she could not pick it up. servant girl frantically swept it under the table.

"Bang!" The door was knocked open! The black mass of people at the door were holding torches. Mrs Miao and Mistress Ling stood at the door and looked at her coldly.

Little servant girl was shocked in her heart and her anger stopped. Her legs were so weak that she could not stand up. Her pupils enlarged and then her eyes became fierce. She used the last of her strength to rush to Mu Ruxuan's bed. She lifted the curtain and saw that there was no one there. She knew that she was dead. He did not struggle and sat on the side of the bed.

Mistress Ling sent someone to bring her out. Without saying anything, she went up and gave her a few slaps. She used her strength to pinch her chin and stared at her. "Tell me, who ordered you to do this? ! "

Little servant girl's eyes were lifeless as she stared blankly at Ling Mistress Ling without saying a word.

"Men, detain her. I want to ask her personally!" Mistress Ling roared angrily. After a while, no one moved. Turning her head to look, Mrs Miao looked at her coldly. She knew that she had lost her bearings. Lowering her posture, she asked, "Big Sister, what should we do with it?"

"Just as younger sister said." Mrs Miao did not blame her and replied faintly. She brought the servant and servant girl out.

Yu Longchen sat beside Mu Ruqing and looked at her in a trance. "My Qing is indeed powerful, but she forced the murderer out with one trick."

"The real murderer is not Little servant girl." Mu Ruqing did not look at him and said to herself.

"Yes, I know." Yu Longchen was still looking at her. He did not even blink as the corner of his mouth rose.

Mu Ruqing and the others were not the only ones who could not sleep tonight. Lau Fenglan heavily smashed the cup and raised her eyebrows. She panted heavily and looked like she was quite angry. servant girl had long been dismissed by her. She bit her lips. She thought hatefully, "Mu Ruqing, I underestimated you!"

Ever since Mu Ruxuan destroyed the fan, Lau Fenglan had taken advantage of her carelessness. She sprinkled the poison powder on it and bribed servant girl from behind. She wanted them to add it the next day. Only then would Mu Ruxuan's face be rotten! When she was about to succeed, Imperial Physician Gu charged out...

Mu Ruqing was allergic and sick. Naturally, it was Lau Fenglan. A long time ago. She took a few petals to test Mu Ruqing. She was really unwell for a few days. She spent a large sum of money to buy a few seeds and scattered them in the garden. After waiting for a few months, she waited to see Mu Ruqing fall ill.

Mu Ruqing knew that person, Lau Fenglan, had something to do with their illness.

Mu Ruqing sent people to send a few things to Mu Ruxuan and let servant girl's wife spread it out. She said that it was Yu Longzi who sent her condolences. The proud and arrogant Lau Fenglan naturally could not sit still and would definitely send people to take action again to really destroy Mu Ruxuan.

Mistress Ling was too cautious and did not have any other chances. So... She would send people to personally poison them. The first was that she would deliberately give herself away. She would make people think that the person who poisoned her had been caught, and when everyone relaxed their vigilance, she would send a second person to do it again. This way, Mu Ruxuan would not be able to escape the disfigured result.

Mu Ruqing hinted her conjecture to Mrs Miao. Mrs Miao had arranged everything and was just waiting for the fish to take the bait!
