Ms. Zhao was not satisfied with Qi Xuanyu’s answer and asked another question, “How about her family and relatives?”
Qi Xuanyu threw the grass in his mouth away and took out three coins from his sleeves. He became more serious. After a short pause, he threw the coins on the table and repeated his action for several times. Madam Luo and Ms. Zhao hold their breath for the result.
After throwing the coins for the last time, Qi Xuanyu suddenly became solemn. He asked slowly, “Did you say that the miss remembered she had taken the solidified elixir of life before waking up, Madam Luo?” Madam Luo nodded nervously. Qi Xuanyu looked worried and said, “With all due respect, may I have a look at the portrayal of the miss?”
“A portrayal?” Madam Luo wanted to call someone to bring it here. Then she remembered that among all her grandchildren in the family, only Qingyi didn’t have a portrayal. Ms. Zhao also felt embarrassed. The maid Gan Cao next to them sm
Glancing at He Danggui who was calm, Tai Chen thought He Danggui seemed to get along well with those guests. Maybe she could learn something from He Danggui. Thinking of this, Tai Chen couldn’t help smiling, and asked in a softer voice, “Miss He, what kinds of herbal medicines do you usually take at home? I can prepare for you.”Hearing her words, He Danggui looked at her and smiled, “Master Tai Chen, you don’t have to do that for me. I’ll get my herbal medicines tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”Although Tai Chen didn’t understand He Danggui’s meaning, she didn’t think about it more because she just wanted to be polite to He Danggui. If He Danggui really asked her for herbal medicines, she wouldn’t give her easily. So, Tai Chen asked tentatively, “They left in a hurry. What are they going to do?”He Danggui showed a thoughtful look and said intermittently, “They seemed to say something like ‘patrolling the mountain’, but maybe I misheard. T
When it was getting dark, Zhen Jing came back after fetching the water. She said with a smile, “Xiaoyi, I heard that the two ‘chivalrous men’ and other guests came back together. But as soon as they were about to step in the gate, they were respectfully invited by Zhen Gong to Fu Mian Yard of Younger Master Tai Chen.”He Danggui smiled and opened the oil-paper bag on the table, saying to Zhen Jing, “Come here, dear. I have some delicious food!”Zhen Jing turned her head and suddenly widened her big eyes in surprise, “This…Where did you get this?”He Danggui blinked mysteriously. She pulled Zhen Jing closer, pressed her on the stool, laughed and said, “The ‘Dream Goddess’ gave us this by the same way as that pot of wine. You can eat it. Don’t worry.” He Danggui picked up a dried meat slice and put it into Zhen Jing’s hands, “This is a famous snack of Fengyang City, ‘Crispy Dried Meat Slice with Sesames’. Have a taste. I have to eat the congee fo
In the evening, Tai Chen invited nine guests including Duan Xiaolou to the banquet. After three rounds of drinking, a bottle of banned medicine emerged in the banquet. Geng Bingxiu immediately ordered to tie Tai Chen up, and detained all the Taoist nuns who came to see what happened in Fu Mian Yard. Now, Duan Xiaolou, Liao Zhiyuan, Gao Jue and Lu Jiangbei were ordered to come to the Medicine Room and find more evidences. After entering the room, Gao Jue used his broadsword to hit all the medicine cabinets to the ground quickly. The medicinal materials were piled up like a hill, but they couldn’t find the banned medicine they were looking for. When He Danggui knocked on the door, the four people were quarreling. Duan Xiaolou blamed Gao Jue for disturbing the medicines, which was not conducive to searching for evidences.Duan Xiaolou quickly took out a chair from the medicinal materials, and brought it to He Danggui. Then he asked, “Come and sit. Why is your face so pale?
Liao Zhiyuan raised his wrist and a dazzling silver light flied from his sleeves. Then the brocade box overhead appeared in his hand suddenly. He opened the box. 7 to 8 fist-sized medicine bottles appeared in front of them. He Danggui sniffed these bottles one by one. Seeing that, Duan Xiaolou couldn’t help enjoining, “They are inedible.” All the people here were speechless for him.He Danggui nodded and said, “Yes, medicines in these 3 bottles are Wushi Powder. It can be divided into the upper level, middle level and low level according to the content of red halloysite. In addition, Hehuan Pill and Yiqing Potion are also the same kind of banned drugs except those 3 kinds of powders that Tai Chen said.”Duan Xiaolou stared at her delicate face curiously as if he wanted to know whom He Danggui really was. He asked, “How do you know these medicines? Even if members of Luo’s Family teach you to recognize medical materials, they shouldn’t let you know this kind
After waking up from a nightmare, Tai Chen felt severe pain and screamed immediately. Jiang Pi threw an apple to gag her mouth accurately.She looked at everyone in the room in horror, such as Fourth Lord Geng and several of his companions, and... Tai Shan and Tai Xi! Tai Chen looked at Tai Xi like seizing the life-saving straw. She hoped that Tai Xi could save her. She didn’t want to go to jail or die! 26 years ago, she and her uncle passed by Yangzhou. Her uncle was jailed for reselling the philter and then died in jail—she didn’t want to go to jail!Tai Xi read a chant and ignored Tai Chen’s gaze for help. Then she looked at Master Geng.Master Geng nodded and said, “Since the account book is found in the Medicine Room, the suspicions of the rest of you will be eliminated.” Tai Shan and Tai Xi felt relieved, but Master Geng continued, “But there is such bigoted woman in your Taoist Temple. You not only don’t know it, but also provide her wit
Zhen Zhu stared at He Danggui as if she was sent by the immortals to help her, then she stunned for a moment and got out of the mountain road.She walked towards He Danggui and held her hands, appreciating her for what she had done for the nuns. Although Zhen Shu and another 6 nuns usually behaved badly and always quarreled with Zhen Zhu. The oldest people among them was only 19 years old. They were brought up by Master Tai Chen, and it was easy for them to learn her bad temper. If they could become maids in a decent family for several years, they would develop a tempered personality. Then there might be a bright future for them.Biddy Cheng and Biddy Wu put the silvers in place, and then they left away with smile. Zhen Zhu held He Danggui’s hands firmly. She wanted to thank her but didn’t know how to speak.Last night, Shui Shang Temple was in great trouble. Everyone inside was nearly wiped out. At that time, Zhen Zhu remembered that Childe Du
Duan Xiaolou went back to the Taoist Temple. He heard He Danggui was in the Medicine Room to put the medicines in order, so he leaped on the roof and jumped in front of the Medicine Room within seconds.“I’m sorry about the mess here, otherwise you wouldn’t have to clean here.” Duan Xiaolou said apologetically, “I know some herbal medicines. Let me help you.”He Danggui shook her head, “Childe Duan, you don’t have to apologize. I should thank you instead. If you hadn’t messed here, I couldn’t have had the chance to come here easily to take the medicine. And what’s the result about the previous incident?”Duan Xiaolou looked at her softly, “As you expected, the two vicious women took my money from you but took the nuns to the brothel simultaneously. I called a few yamen runners to sue for their ‘seek for two buyers with only one goods’ crime. Then, they searched them and found the 50 liang silver I told them before. Therefore, they sent them to
Tai Shan was eased that the fire was put out, but what Lu Jiangbei said really made her sacred. His last words almost scared the hell out of her. Tai Shan stood up trembling and turned around to face all the Taoist nuns. She stared at them like a predator and said very loudly, “Who did this? Tell me who cooked here and set the fire!”But no one replied. All the 77 nuns kept silent.Tai Shan was so pissed off that her body shook badly. She yelled again, “No matter who did this, if you could step up right now, you will live. Otherwise, if you get exposed later, I will kill you for sure!”Still everyone looked at each other. No one came out to confess.Tai Shan was determined and yelled out loud, “Anyone who exposes the arsonist, I will give her 20, no, 30 liang silver as a reward now!”Whispers in the crowd were like buzzes. After a while, a tall and fat middle-aged Taoist nun pointed at a nun on her right, who was lowin
Dong's where to stand others like this out of words to teach, coupled with her to He Danggui has always been cynical and hateful, over the years everywhere to see the wrong, and now these emotions all of a sudden flared up.She laughed coldly, "Humph! Third girl, you don't have to be like this with me, I can't compare to you in this life, but our old Luo family still has a promising offspring, a Chai Yutu, into the Prince's residence as a beauty; Qiong Sister and Peony Sister, into the palace to serve the Emperor! The day they gain favor, we'll immediately become the royal relatives with hardened waists! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, you don't want to tear down the bridge too soon!"He Danggui commanded the grannies to bring down both Luo Baiqian and Yan Sister, and she had no intention of staying any longer, biting each other with mad dogs, so what had she become herself.Dong was not willing to let people go, crossed her arms and
Dong raised her hand and waved it heavily on Luo Baiying's face, arrogantly sneering, "Big girl, don't say all these salty words, the feelings of us poor women who married bastard men, girls like you who have never seen anything will never understand in their lives. I only hate myself for being blind back then, choosing by the thousands and finally choosing a useless Luo Baiqian, and now I'm being dragged down by you!"Luo Baihe glanced at the unconscious old lady, hidden anger to teach Dong, "Sister-in-law said what even the words, as the saying goes, flowers do not have a hundred days of red, no one's family has not been rich for a hundred years of good things, out of bad things, we think about it. You don't like anyone, and beating up one person after another won't help."The government office wanted to check the accounts of the Luodong Mansion, to see if they had drawn down money during the war to subsidize the rebels, so all the daughters-in-law in charge, along wit
Park Yang Bai expected a little good, when he pretended Li Xianxi around the screen, appeared in the crowd's field of vision, the outside of an exclamation of surprise intertwined, almost toppled the roof. When the screen was removed, no one had noticed that the ugly girl who had previously walked into the screen to play for the "Wonderful Medical Fairy" had disappeared.Li Xianxi has been dead for ten days, hard as a rock, suddenly recovered soft and charming, really shocked everyone present. Princess House's four housekeepers immediately left two, looks like it is to report to go."Pop!"Mao Daoxing glares and shoots the shocking wood, shouting and asking, "Qingning County Lord, how did you save Xianqiao County Lord, how was the truth on that day, still don't tell from the speed! Just now you also said that the only person who died was Niu Wenlan, and there were two other maids from the royal family, but what is the reason for this?"A dead royal maid? How
Early in the morning four days later, He Danggui and Meng Xuan returned to the capital and went directly to Yingtian Mansion to watch the results of the Yan Wangfu murder case. I heard that the trial of the Luo Mansion's treason case also started today, with one trial after another.On that night in Yan Wang Fu, Zhu Duran and Pao Yangbai pretended to be fake He Danggui, and both of them were imprisoned in the Da Lisi. Meng Xuan makes arrangements through his connections to ensure that Bo Yang Bai has the benefits of eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling in prison, but due to his disguise, he is sadly unsuccessful in the end.As soon as Meng Xuan showed up in the capital, the subordinate who had been secretly protecting the safety of Park Yangbai came to report that in the past few days, he had driven away a total of five waves of assassins who wanted to assassinate Park Yangbai.Just this morning, through the heavy inspection of the meal to the cell, obviously ha
Her mind was feverish, and she remembered in a trance that at some point, Meng Xuan had said to her in the bamboo forest of Cheng Xu, "I'm not Duan Xiaolou, and I'm not going to do the stupid things he did, girl, there's only one Duan Xiaolou in the world, and since there's no room for redemption between you and him anymore, you should always look away in the future."It turned out that what Meng Xuan said was true, and what Gao Jie said was also true, neither of them had lied to her. In this world, there really was only one fool like Duan Xiaolou.This fool had somehow fallen in love with a little demoness like her and hadn't changed his mind until now. Instead, she had married Meng Xuan as her wife.Is there anyone who can tell her how to return a love that is so heavy that she can't breathe, how to clear the past years and let everything return to zero? Her smart brain is no longer smart enough to face Duan Xiaolou directly."Now, you know everything." The
He Danggui woke up with a start, close at hand was Duan Xiaolou's handsome face, a pair of dark eyes, as if he had been staring at her for more than ten hours. She was dizzy, as if she had also slept for more than ten hours.She sat up with a jolt, checking to find that her clothing was intact, only a layer of outer clothing had been removed, and other than that there was nothing wrong.Her nervous expression pierced Duan Xiaolou's eyes, and he laughed silently as he gently asked, "What did you think I would do? Could it be that in your mind, I don't even have this much credibility anymore?" The voice was filled with bitterness.Ignoring Duan Xiaolou, she jumped out of bed and walked around the room, noticing that the bedroom had a single furnishing with a dark tone, much like someone's style. Looking back at the wall, there were five colorful faces hanging, and the one in the very middle had a yellow face, eh? That one is not ...He Danggui exclaimed out in
The testimony of her own sister! Exposing her lies!Everyone gazed at Zhu Duran, her pretty face reddened for a while, white for a while, making it even more suspicious. At this time, the conversation between the two Peng Shih Peng Jian brothers drew the attention of many people."Brother, didn't you also go to the east wing after you finished talking with third sister in the garden?" Peng Jian spoke without thinking and actually drew fire on his own brother.Peng Shi frowned for a moment before replying, "I received a post that said 'important matters to discuss, please be sure to make a trip over here, chee chee chee', and it was addressed to Niu Wenlan. I considered it over and over again, so I went on this trip." After he finished his words, the fake He Danggui, the real Park Yangbai's face was immediately a little agitated, because he also received a similar post before he went to Niu Wenlan's room.Peng Jian said with a start, "Could the murderer be you
"Who?" He Angelica asked a little nervously through the door."You haven't gone over yet?" It was Gao Jie's voice, "I have a question for you.""Go ahead." He Danggui held his breath."That mask, do you still have it?" Gao Jie asked without a clue through a door.He Danggui revealed a confused expression, and Meng Xuan asked for her, "What mask.""Rabbit Town, your gift to me."Gao Jie's style was always simple and concise, but all of a sudden, Meng Xuan was greatly offended. Meng Xuan grabbed He Danggui's pink cheeks with her hand and complained, ''You sent him a gift? Why don't you send me? I want the mask too."He Danggui pushed away this questionable child, Meng Xuan, and pondered for a while before she had an impression of Gao Jie's words. At that time in Rabbit Town, she might seem to have probably given Gao Jie four face masks, the extremely simple kind of hand-painted ceramic paper face masks.In fact, it is not really a gift,
The crowd turned their heads in unison and saw behind a clump of longleaf orchids a man with half his face left in the shadows."Meng Xuan?" He Danggui was taken aback and rushed forward, pulling him aside as he quietly asked, "Why did you run here? Does your father know about your return to the capital?"The visitor was dressed in plain robes, very conspicuous in the dark night, yet no one realized that he was also in the garden until the moment he appeared. He had sword brows and starry eyes, handsome and incomparable, and was none other than Meng Xuan, who should have been huffing and puffing inside the secret room.When He Danggui thought that the scene of Duan Xiaolou hugging her just now had also fallen into Meng Xuan's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness, and also remembered that Meng Xuan had returned to the capital specifically to see her, and that if the iron-faced Marquis of Bao Ding found out that he'd gone AWOL, she didn't know how he
