New widow

Su Qiao avoided the important and took the easy. Mrs. Chu had already nodded: "I really didn't see it, you are very thoughtful."

"It's just some pastime!" Suqiao didn't want to talk too much to Mrs. Chu. Mrs. Chu smiled: "Ms. Kuang's pastime is different from others." Your lady's pastime is mostly around the boudoir, smelling the elegant fragrance. Drinking tea, admiring flowers, reciting poems and painting. If you are more secular, you can burn incense and worship Buddha and decorate your body with gold.

This is the first time I have heard of Xixiqiao teaching a few girls. Su Qiao only picked up a piece of snack and placed it in front of Mrs. Chu: "I don't know anything, so naturally I can only do this."

"It's a pity that I have to leave in a few days, otherwise I would like to have more contact with Madam Kuang." Mrs. Chu picked up the snack, took a bite, and then put the snack down, her words full of regret.

Su Qiao also stood up and saw Mrs. Chu out. When Mrs. Chu was about to reach the door, she whispered to Su Qiao: "Originally I wanted to plead with Madam Kuang, but when I saw her today, I felt that Madam Kuang would not agree to it. .”

plead? Suqiao frowned slightly, knowing what Mrs. Chu was going to say, so Suqiao could only sigh softly: "The national law cannot tolerate this."

These four words made Mrs. Chu's expression change, and then Mrs. Chu bowed to Su Qiao, walked out of the door, got on the sedan, and left.

"Oh, I didn't dare to breathe until now." Bozhen's voice came. Suqiao looked up and saw that they were all crowded at the middle courtyard door. Suqiao couldn't help but glared at them: "Your Where have you learned etiquette gone, and why are you still standing here?”

"Teacher never taught us not to eavesdrop." Wen Wen also said with a smile. Zhou Le walked out of the main room and shook his head deliberately: "When they first came here, they were a little scared. After these days, they are more A naughty person, what's wrong with this?"

"Teacher, don't worry, we won't do this in front of outsiders." Bozhen, the oldest and fastest learner, said with a smile.

"You haven't learned anything, but you have learned how to open your mouth very dexterously." Du Shi's voice sounded. Bozhen turned around and saw Du Shi, and called her "Mother" coquettishly.

Du Shi reached out and poked her daughter on the forehead: "Okay, come and have dinner with me. You guys, how come it's this time and your mother hasn't come to pick you up yet?"

"I was about to come, but when I saw so many people gathered at the door of Madam Kuang's house, I didn't dare to come because there were guests coming to visit me." Madam Li Zheng walked in just in time. When she heard what Du said, she said loudly.

Mrs. Du couldn't help but spit at her: "Don't stop pretending like this. You talk to our wife here every day, and I don't see you showing any fear."

"Ms. Kuang is different from others." Mrs. Li Zheng said with a smile: "Ms. Kuang is here. As for us, we just feel that she is particularly kind. We believe a word she says. But other ladies and grandmothers are here. We feel a kind of fear, even if we say something, we will do it, but it is not as convincing as what Mrs. Kuang said."

"All of them are very clever." Nanny Wu also said with a smile. Madam Li Zheng had already smiled at Nanny Wu and said: "Come here and learn. You can't learn anything else. If you can learn something, You won't be able to use half of your old man's money in this lifetime."

"They also said that Bo Zhen has a clever mouth. Let me see, your mouth is even better." Everyone likes to hear good words. Aunt Wu also joked with Madam Li Zheng for a while. Madam Li Zheng took Wen Wen's hand and went out, and the others He also came to pick up his children. The main room had been tidied up. Sister Song served lunch and everyone sat down to eat.

After dinner, Su Qiao wanted to take a nap. Zhou Le didn't have the habit of taking naps before. Now that he came here and saw everyone asking for a nap, Zhou Le also took a nap. When Grandma Li saw her master acting like this, she also went to rest.

So after lunch, Sister-in-law Wu tidied up the kitchen. It was quiet inside and outside the courtyard, and it would be busy again until Suqiao woke up.

Today was different from usual. As soon as Suqiao fell asleep, she felt that she was in a strange dream. When Suqiao opened her eyes and sat up, she suddenly felt like this was the night before.

Suqiao even heard her heart beating rapidly. What's going on? Su Qiao reached out and touched her forehead, stood up and poured a cup of tea from the teapot. The tea was cold, so Su Qiao didn't care about it and drank the tea in one gulp.

After the cold water entered her throat, Suqiao felt that her heart had calmed down a bit. What happened? Su Qiao couldn't help but frown as she sat down. She didn't do anything today, so why did she fall into such a weird dream, or even wake up from it?

Suddenly there was a heavy knock on the door. Suqiao did not move. Naturally, someone answered the door. Sure enough, after a while, the voice of Manager Wu was heard, and then Grandma Wu said outside the door: "Madam, something happened."

Mother Wu's voice was rarely so panicked. Su Qiao opened the door, and Mother Wu looked panicked: "Madam, Mrs. Chu left our place. As soon as she entered that house, she suddenly vomited blood and couldn't say a few words. Go to that house to see a doctor." I couldn't get him for a while, so I simply sent him to the city. At this moment, he passed by our door and said that a doctor from the city had also arrived and wanted to use our home for diagnosis and treatment."

This was a life-saving matter, and Su Qiao would not shirk it, so Su Qiao asked people to come in quickly. Mrs. Chu was placed on the bed and carried in. She looked like a rosy beauty just now, but now her lips were pale. With a face as golden as paper, when seeing Su Qiao, Mrs. Chu only forced a smile and said, "I regret it a little."

Regret, regret for what? Suqiao didn't have time to ask, so she could only have Mrs. Chu brought in quickly and put on the bed so that the doctors could come and treat her.

Doctors in small places sometimes get lucky. Now this man came in, took Mrs. Chu's pulse, looked at Mrs. Chu's expression, and said, "How could it be poisoning?"

When the word "poisoned" came out, everyone in the room was surprised. Where did Mrs. Chu get this poison?

"How could it be poisoning?" Suqiao asked first, and the doctor had already laughed: "What you asked is strange. We are not the ones who judge the case in the government yamen. How do we know how to get poisoned?"

After saying this, the doctor said: "I don't know what kind of poison I was poisoned. Let's boil water with licorice to see if the poison can be cured." Aunt Wu had already asked Sister-in-law Wu to quickly boil water with licorice. Fortunately, the licorice and ginger were always on hand at home. They were cooked in a short time and allowed to cool. Suqiao fed Mrs. Chu herself.

Mrs. Chu vomited after taking two sips. What she vomited was nothing else but blood. Seeing that Mrs. Chu vomited black blood, Suqiao couldn't help but sweat on her forehead. This situation looked a little bad.

There were clattering footsteps outside, and then Chu Zhixian hurried in.
