Jing Lan and Cheng Ze appeared in front of everyone in the Lu family at the Lu family's dinner party on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

In fact, they arrived in Jinling after noon. After Jing Lan and Shen Wan agreed to see each other in a few days, they returned to Lu's house with Cheng Ze.It's just that they went to Fuhai Hall to meet their ancestors.

When Feng saw the two of them coming back, he excitedly took their hands and went to his inner room to talk.

Jing Lan was delighted to see that her ancestor was safe and sound.

Mrs. Feng heard from Chengze how they found Jinglan and how they rescued her back. They even said that it was the Bodhisattva's blessing that Jinglan died and Chengxiang returned to Lu's house again.

The three grandparents and grandchildren talked in the inner room, and they talked for more than an hour before Feng called someone to take Chengze and Jinglan down to rest, serve them something to eat and take a bath, and wait for the Lu family dinner in the evening. time, attend the family dinner with her.

Jing Lan ate something casually, and was bathed by those servant girls. She planned to go to bed and lie down, but fell asleep instead.

When she woke up, the lights had already been turned on, and the servant girls came to serve her and changed her clothes, and came out with Cheng Ze to follow the old ancestor, and went to the Zhengyuan Building of the Lu family to attend the family banquet.

The Lu family's Zhengyuan Building is specially built for Chinese New Year and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The downstairs hall is extremely spacious, while the upstairs is a place for the clansmen to rest during banquets.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jinling has the custom of admiring lanterns, so various lanterns are hung under the corridors of Zhengyuan Building, and the lights hung in the hall illuminate the whole hall brightly.

When Jing Anlan and Cheng Ze appeared in the hall of Zhengyuan Building, no one else was very surprised, but Qi Shi and Lu Chengyuan were quite surprised.

The mother and son thought that they would never appear in the Lu family again.

The person who took their money to sink the painting boat that Jing Lan and Cheng Ze were on, but told them that the painting boat was pushed into the middle of the river by their anchor in the middle of the night. All the boats sank into the river.

It was windy and snowy that night, and the river was wide, and the boat sank into the river. Young ladies and young masters like Jing Lan and Cheng Ze who couldn't swim would surely die.

Therefore, they also thought that Jinglan and Chengze were dead.

If the two of them died, the dowry from their deceased mother would eventually return to the second wife of the Lu family. After all, they were neither engaged nor married.

From the time when the boat sank on the sixth night of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lu family had no news of what happened to Jinglan and Chengze. This also made Qi and his son Chengyuan think that all the people on the boat must have died. No one reported back to Lu's house.

How could they know that Cheng Ze deliberately kept quiet and sneaked back to Lu's house to meet with his ancestors to ask for advice.

As for Feng Guangsheng taking people to Fengshu Town, they didn't even know about it.

Jing Lan and Cheng Ze appeared in front of the two, seemingly unscathed, which made them think that they were dazzled at first.However, after the two came to pay respects to Lu Xueshan and Qi, and to visit their grandmother Yuan, they were sure that Cheng Ze and Jing Lan were really alive.

For a moment, Qi was so angry that she secretly complained that the person her son found was unreliable, so she took the money, and finally went to let Jinglan and Chengze return to Lu's house alive, and she didn't know what they said about cutting through the bottom of the boat , the thing that sinks the ship is not true.

However, Lu Chengyuan said that the three brothers did not lie, it should be that Jinglan and Chengze were saved by fate.

Of course, both mother and son said this in a low voice to avoid people. It happened to be a family dinner on the fifteenth night, and there were so many people, no one heard what the mother and son were talking about.

Jinglan and Chengze survived, and Qi's wishful thinking failed, which made her decide to continue taking risks and seize the opportunity tonight to poison Feng's tea bowl again.

For some reason, when Jing Lan and Cheng Ze returned to Lu's house, Qi's sense of urgency increased.

She was also poisoned on the night of the Chinese New Year, but Mrs. Feng was fine in the end, and she was completely healed around the tenth day of the lunar new year. Mrs. Qi suspected that the crane crest red she bought might not be effective for a long time.Therefore, she went back to buy a new Hedinghong, and fed the poison to cats and dogs as a test. After seeing that the cats and dogs ate it, they died of poison soon, so she put the newly bought Hedinghong in it. into the hollow gold bracelet on his wrist.

After everyone in the Lu family had dinner, there were still opera troupes to sing for fun. The ancestors listened to the opera for a while, and then were supported by their sons and daughters-in-law to watch the lanterns.

Seeing that there was no one around the Luohan couch where the ancestor was sitting, Mrs. Qi saw the opportunity, went up, twisted her hollow gold bracelet, and poured a lot of cranes into the black tea on the small table on the Luohan couch. Top red powder.

However, when she finished poisoning and was about to turn around and leave, Mama Han, Feng's confidant, came out from nowhere, grabbed Qi's hand and shouted: "Second young lady, put it in the old lady's tea." What did you spill!"

Qi's face turned pale in an instant, and she hurriedly said: "Mother Han, don't talk nonsense, I just passed by here, and the sleeves just swept the old ancestor's tea bowl..."

"Hmph, this old servant saw the Second Young Mistress twist the gold bracelet on her wrist and sprinkle something into the old lady's tea bowl." Mother Han said coldly.

The quarrel between the two quickly attracted many people, Feng Shi also walked back with the support of his son and daughter-in-law, and asked them why they were arguing.

Mother Han told Mrs. Feng what she had just seen.

As for Qi, with a pale face, he refused to admit it.

The Feng family ordered the theater troupe and the juniors to withdraw, leaving only the children and grandchildren, as well as some senior members of the side branches of the Lu family.

After sitting on the Arhat couch again, Mrs. Feng looked at the bowl of black tea on the small table beside her, and then at the clansmen and children and grandchildren around her, and then said: "Since Xueshan's stepmother said she wasn't here, How about we tell her to drink this bowl of tea to prove her innocence?"

"Just follow the ancestors." Everyone said in unison.

Yuan Shi and Lu Xueshan's expressions are also quite ugly at the moment. Although they half-believe Mama Han's claim that Qi Shi spilled something into the ancestor's tea bowl, they dare not speak up for Qi Shi at the moment.

They hoped that Mother Han was mistaken, so they thought that after drinking the bowl of ancestor's black tea, Qi could prove his innocence, so they said the same thing as other clansmen.

As for Mrs. Qi, under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Feng and other members of the Lu family, her whole body was shaking.

She never expected that she would be caught in no time by poisoning Feng's teacup again today.

Thinking about it now, it must be that Feng Shi became suspicious, so he sent his confidant, Mother Han, to hide in the dark, just waiting for him to catch him.

Mrs. Feng asked her to drink the bowl of tea topped with Hedinghong to prove her innocence. If she didn't drink it, she must be a ghost.

She tested it with a silver needle, and she could not quibble.

And if she drank that bowl of poisoned tea, she would die from the poison in the blink of an eye, which also proved that she poisoned Feng Shi.

If she doesn't drink poisonous tea, her fate is to be divorced, escorted to the yamen for conviction, and may even tell more things under the torture of those yamen servants, and may even implicate her children and brothers in it. The result is mostly a dead word.

After drinking the poisonous tea, she will die faster and take all the blame on herself. Once she dies, most of the Lu clan will not do it and investigate many things. In this way, her children and brothers will not be blamed by her. implicated.

Thinking of this, Qi's heart sank, and he walked forward in two or three steps, picked up the bowl of black tea on the small wooden table, leaned his neck, drank it dry in one gulp, and finally dropped the tea bowl to the ground.

The teacup was smashed, and the broken porcelain splashed all over the floor.

Qi turned around and strode out of Zhengyuan Building without looking back.

Seeing this, Lu Xueshan was the first to say angrily: "Bitch, how dare you be so rude in front of your ancestors! Stop!"

Yuan Shi also reprimanded Qi Shi, saying that she should not get angry in front of her elders, telling her to drink tea to prove her innocence was the intention of all the Lu family members present.

Qi didn't stop because of the reprimand of the two, but continued walking as if she didn't hear it at all.

However, after walking a few steps, her pace slowed down, she bowed her body, supported her waist with one hand, and moved forward step by step.

Seeing this, the members of the Lu family in the hall of Zhengyuan building also felt strange.

As for Feng Shi, the corner of her lips twitched, her eyes cast a cold gaze, and she looked at Qi Shi's back with a smile that was not a smile.

Qi moved to the gate of the hall of Zhengyuan Building and finally couldn't walk anymore. She saw her kneeling down slowly with her hands on the door frame, her body twitched and moaned in pain...

Seeing this, Lu Xueshan walked over quickly, put his hand on her shoulder, and pulled her shoulder, intending to ask her what's wrong.But as soon as he turned her body and saw her face, Lu Xueshan yelled in fright, stepped back a few steps, and fell back to the ground.

Everyone hurriedly looked over and was shocked.

I saw that Qi's seven orifices were bleeding, her eyes were wide open, her face became extremely hideous because of pain and resentment, her eyes were bloodshot, there were thin blood streams flowing from the eyes, all the way to her chin, and the blood stream from the corner of her mouth Mix it all together, drip-tick-tick-tick.

In the hall of Zhengyuan Building, a needle drop could be heard instantly, and everyone covered their mouths and stroked their chests in shock.

Soon, everyone came back to their senses, bowed together and said to Feng Shi: "The ancestor is wise."

Mrs. Feng said coldly: "She deserves to die. I'm afraid you don't know that she poisoned my tea bowl on the night of New Year's Eve. It's just that I drank less that time, maybe her medicine didn't work very well." Well, the old man was lucky enough not to die. This time, she sent someone to buy Hedinghong, and she also brought cats and dogs to test the poison, trying to poison me to death. However, she did not expect that the old man had already arranged for someone to watch her, Just wait for her to make a move."

"Ah..." Everyone gasped when they heard this, and then many people began to scold Mrs. Qi. The people in the long room even scolded Mrs. Ordinary women poisoned and murdered their ancestors.

After hearing this, Yuan Shi and Lu Xueshan's mother and son rushed to Feng Shi, first admitting that they were negligent and did not know that Qi Shi had hidden evil intentions and poisoned her to kill her, then kowtowed and begged her to forgive them, after all, those who don't know are not guilty.

Feng reprimanded them a few words and told them to stand up.

Some people questioned why the Qi family wanted to murder their ancestors and do such heinous things.

Feng said coldly: "She has done too many evils, from Jinglan being falsely accused of being Lu's son Ding Kexing for more than ten years, to Xueshan's first spouse Tan dying of illness, and then after Jinglan returned to Lu's family, she called Geng Shi and his son. Coming to Lu's house to ruin Jinglan's reputation, and colluding with others on the sixth day of the first lunar month caused the boat that Chengze and Jinglan were sitting on to sink..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone in the Lu family was shocked again.
