[Red Mansion] Raiders of the heir

The small garden of the Lin Mansion was originally a cross-court renovation. It was located in the part of the second gate to the east. Because it was just completed and not yet completed, it stopped after Lin Hai passed away. It's all done, but there are two partition walls that haven't been completely repaired, but since there are no other doors in the inner courtyard, it's no problem.

Besides, Xue Baochai was very sad because of Xue Pan's decadence these days. Although that brother likes to play tricks, he is her real brother after all.However, since his face was injured, that person was very beautiful. At this moment, he just felt ashamed to look at others, and he refused to go out. A Xiangling suffers day and night, a good person seems to be completely ruined just like that.

So I said from my heart that this Xue Baochai hated Lin Wei to the extreme, but the prince was so powerful that even the Rongguo Mansion gave up her Xue family without hesitation after hearing the truth, and she was powerless as a weak woman.So no matter how much Xue Baochai hated her, she still had to pretend that her previous affection had never changed and that she was close to Daiyu, but she was only looking forward to the relationship between the two of them, and one day the prince would think of it again. Someone could speak for her brother, but the other side naturally hugged Jia and Wang's family tightly.

Seeing the carefree looks of the other girls, laughing, making poems, eating and drinking with Daiyu, Xue Baochai couldn't even hold back the smile on her face.Obviously they are all about the same age, not to mention that none of those women looks much better than the others, but they are both princesses and official ladies, and even the girls in Rongguo Mansion They are all compared.How can there be such a big gap between people in the same garden?Even Lin Daiyu, who lost her father and mother, is also the real daughter of the Hou family, and now she has a ruthless younger brother to protect her, but her only brother makes him so harmful that she can't get married? !

Although Xue Baochai was always able to hide his worries, the more he looked at Daiyu's smile, the sadder he became, and his jealousy couldn't be eased, so he had to leave the crowd and find a quiet place to calm down.

Xue Baochai stopped in front of a white peony flower bed, and saw a purple butterfly with transparent wings under the sun landed on the snow-white petals in front of her knees, she squatted down in a moment of relief, and watched the butterfly quietly Moving lightly, a slight smile finally appeared on his face, and his mood eased slightly.

But I don't know how long it has passed, Xue Baochai was lost in thought, but he heard the voices of two little girls faintly:

"Why did you come out, the girl's medicine is ready?"

"It's all ready. Just now I saw that two flavors were missing. I found some medicines from the previous medicines and mixed them in. I just got through this, and it will take a long time to get better. I'll go to the hut first, and I'll be back soon."

Xue Baochai turned around in surprise, and saw two maids standing and talking under the eaves outside the broken wall, one of them was holding a few small plates in his hand, and the other was closing the door behind him, so he heard her say, " Few people come here, good sister, if you have time to watch for me, don't spill it, and don't move the medicinal materials on the table, I will put them away when I come back. There are not enough medicinal materials, I have to separate them Divide it out, so as not to forget to use it directly in the future, I’m afraid it won’t be effective if it’s too short. If you’re busy, just leave it alone and it’s fine, I’ll go back as soon as I go.”

Another girl said: "Where is the time? I just came back to pick up a few dishes, and the girls are still waiting to use them. Well, I don't tell you, you should hurry up. If there are children at home, who can go free?" Move your medicine hook?"

The two gossiped and walked away, but Xue Baochai's heart began to turmoil: She knew that Lin Daiyu had been taking medicine, but didn't she use pills as she said before?When did you switch to decoction?Not to mention these things, Xue Baochai was thinking of the groans that came out of Xue Pan's room every day, and his eyes were red as if he was being haunted, and he could not look away from the door.

Is this God giving her this chance of revenge?If Lin Daiyu has a good or bad thing, then the hateful Lin Wei must be heartbroken, and he should be told to taste the sadness of being tortured by pain!

Xue Baochai was so stunned that even his brain was in a state of confusion, he walked towards the room with his feet uncontrollably, and saw the pile of medicinal materials randomly placed on the table, and the medicine hanger on the other side was simmering on the small stove, gurgling inside. It was bubbling and bubbling without even covering the lid.Xue Baochai looked at the scene in front of her, and there was only one voice floating back and forth in her heart: at most, it hurt the spleen, stomach and body, but it must not die, not die!

Xue Baochai accidentally grabbed a handful of medicinal materials on the table and threw them in, picked up the spoon next to it and pressed it down, and then quickly left the room with her beating heart in her hands, forgetting the door Close it again.

Xue Baochai didn't even know how she got back to the garden, but she kept staring at the gate of the courtyard absently. At this time, the girls were tired from playing, and they each found a quiet place to rest under the eaves.After a while, Zhao Yurong saw that Daiyu was tired, looked at the sky and said with a smile: "It's already past noon, I should go back earlier, I'm having a good time today, I'm sorry for you Work hard, come and sit with me some other day."

So the girls resigned from Daiyu one after another and left, and Xue Baochai said goodbye to Yingchun and others, but when she left, no girl came to deliver the medicine, and she didn't know what it was like.Thinking maybe it was accidentally knocked over by someone, so I re-fried it?Thinking of it this way, I felt inexplicably relieved.

Daiyu sent the girls away and asked Qingyan to put away the words and sentences they had filled out. She felt tired, so she told the girls to clean up, and she went back to her room to rest without mentioning it.

Not long after that, Lin Wei came in from the outside, saw Daiyu resting in the room, and asked, "Why are they all gone? I was thinking of coming back earlier and arranging someone to see them off. My sister can ask someone to follow her." gone?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Naturally I asked people to follow me. You are so worried about these things, and you came back so early."

Lin Weidao: "I don't think my sister has laughed these days, she only went to the Beijing Prince's Mansion once and came back in a short while, it's rare that two girls over there came to talk with you today, and there is Rongguo Mansion The sisters here, naturally come back earlier to arrange for you to play for a while, I don’t want to go so early.”

Seeing that Daiyu looked a little tired, Lin Wei told her that it was important to rest for a while, but just as she was about to come out, she saw the servant girl beside Hehua staggering towards her, crying, "Master, girl... something happened to the girl... "

Lin Wei was stunned, even Daiyu's tiredness faded, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Wei saw that the girl really didn't look like her, her heart sank secretly, she turned to Daiyu and said, "I'll go and have a look."

However, that girl held Lin Wei hesitantly, after thinking about it, she let go, Lin Wei walked out on her own, Lin Daiyu couldn't rest assured after all, seeing that girl's expression was in a trance, she couldn't sit still, Also followed.

When they got to the lotus house, Lin Wei and Dai Yu smelled a faint smell of blood in the outer room, they couldn't help being startled, they saw a nanny coming out from inside, their expressions changed when they saw the two of them, and said: " Why did the uncle and the girl come in? Hurry up and leave first, the eldest girl is not hurt, don't worry."

The two were at a loss when they heard it, but it was Daiyu who came to her senses first and pulled La Linwei to the big girl who came back and the other two hesitantly said: "You three come with me."

Several people entered the east room, the three maids knelt down together, Lin Wei frowned and said: "Tell me, what's going on?"

The girl who started to look for the two of them said: "It's been... It's been fine all the time. When I took the medicine just now, I didn't see anything wrong, but after a while, the girl seemed to be uncomfortable. As long as you want to Drinking cold water, I just wondered if the food was salty, and the eldest girl gestured to go to the girl's side, so she went out by herself. It turned out that the eldest girl always went there alone, and neither of us To my heart, it was only after a while that I thought that the girl's blushing face didn't seem very good when she left, so I searched out worryingly, never thinking... never thinking..."

"What?!" Lin Wei said.

The girl cried: "Girl... the girl has been defiled."

When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but fainted, even Lin Wei was taken aback, and then hurriedly went over to pinch Daiyu herself, and the three girls kneeling on the ground didn't dare to say anything anymore.

After a while, Daiyu woke up leisurely, Lin Wei said: "Sister, why don't you go back and rest first?"

Where did Daiyu rest, she just shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

Lin Wei saw that she was persistent, so he stopped talking, and then asked carefully, the other two girls went out together to find the lotus, and they each talked about what they saw, and Lin Wei and the two of them roughly connected things together.

But the lotus was feeling unwell and hot, and wanted to go to Daiyu in a trance, and went the wrong way, walked all the way through the garden, and went out through the back door facing the street...

The back door used to be locked, but it was opened when the garden was being repaired, but there were a few strong women guarding it. Although it was locked again before going to Suzhou, the number of people there was not reduced. Seeing the lotus flower, the mother-in-law made a few gestures and thought it was her.Because of her special status, even though the woman hesitated, she still opened the door for her. When the lotus came out, the man woke up and felt that she looked wrong, and when he was looking outside, he didn't see anyone, so he was in a hurry. Reported to the lotus house, the two maids went out of the Lin residence to look for them, until they found someone in a dilapidated house, by then it was already too late.

Lin Wei listened quietly to the three of them, and asked, "Who looked for it?"

The girl replied: "There are only three of us."

Lin Wei said: "Go and give the medicine dregs to Chang'an, go out to the medical clinic and ask what the formula is, and call the two girls who made the medicine for the eldest girl."

Lin Wei first called the woman who was serving in the lotus house, and asked how the lotus body was doing, the woman repeatedly assured that nothing happened, but she was not in a good mood, and now she was asleep.Lin Wei and Dai Yu went to see it now, the woman had already tidied up the lotus, when the two of them took a closer look, they saw that she couldn't sleep peacefully in her sleep, her eyelashes were just trembling uncomfortably, the two had a meeting Instruct the girl serving in front of her to come back to them quietly when the lotus wakes up.

Lin Wei asked someone to find out who lived in that dilapidated house. At that time, Chang An had already asked the doctor when he came back from outside, and he said that the medicine was not formulated properly, and one of the medicines was originally a very small amount of pain-relieving effect. Yes, but because the dosage is too large, it becomes the main ingredient, so the effect of the medicine is also slightly different due to the person's constitution. The normal one is the illusory effect, which makes people extremely excited and unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and as for other medicines. Healing, clearing the throat and removing bacteria are suppressed because of its gentle nature.Chang An said: "The doctor said that this medicine must have been tampered with."

Lin Wei was shocked when he heard this, and then he asked someone to bring the girl who decocted the medicine. Usually, two people were in charge of decocting the medicine, but this day one of them was feeling unwell, so he told the other to go back and rest I did, but I didn't want such things to happen.The girl who decocted the medicine also had a little understanding of medicine. Before she was called, she picked up a few medicines because of a few prescriptions she had used before. She was wrapping them up and putting them away separately, thinking that she should go back. Daiyu asked the husband to come back to make medicine for the lotus, and weighed the ingredients according to the amount, and then added it back.

Not long after Lotus went to Beijing, Lin Wei invited her husband to show her her voice. He felt that since she could talk when she was a child, it could be cured, so she has been taking medicine, and those two girls have been waiting for her to fry it. Medication, nothing has gone awry in months.Lin Wei subconsciously felt that this matter had nothing to do with the girls who came today. These two decoctions were originally second-class girls in Daiyu's house, and they both knew how to measure themselves, and they definitely wouldn't make such a fuss. When something came up, he asked her the detailed process of decocting the medicine.

The girl came back steadily, and even said in detail about the old medicine that she specially picked out, saying: "I weighed them according to the quantity, so I can't make a mistake. I just fried the medicine and went to the latrine. Since I came back, I have been watching in front of me, there is nothing wrong..." The girl paused and said suddenly, "Also... Maybe something is wrong, I see that there is more trash than usual, because the doctor said The medicine clears the throat and moistens the lungs and does not harm the body, I even tried it and found that it tasted the same, so I sent it to the eldest girl's room."

Lin Wei listened silently, Daiyu said: "Think about it carefully, but there are some details that you didn't notice, who watched when you left?"

"No one was watching at that moment, but when I came out, I ran into Huang Ying from the girl's room to pick up the plate, but said a few words." The girl paused, and said, "By the way, I will be on my side at that moment." I closed the door while talking to Huang Ying, but it seemed to be open when I came back, and I wondered at that time, could it be that... someone went in?"

Lin Wei suddenly nodded and told the maids to back out, and asked Daiyu in a low voice: "Did those ladies bring the maids with them when they came?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Of course not, how can you be so arrogant? Could it be that you think..."

Lin Weidao: "The girls in the lotus house are all old people in front of my sister. If you have no grievances or enmity, naturally you won't do this kind of thing suddenly, because there are only two of you in our family, and the girls here are all chosen who know the basics. I have a son at home, and I personally took over the servants on the second door for several years, and they are very measured in doing things. Outsiders must not be let in at will, so today they are the only ones who come here .”

Daiyu said in a low voice: "We have been playing in the garden, and no one has ever come here. Even at noon, we just took a nap under the eaves in front of the hall or inside."

"There is a broken wall on the side of the garden that hasn't been erected yet, has my sister noticed who has been away for too long?" Lin Wei said.

Only then did Daiyu come to a sudden, and pondered: "That's right, I actually forgot this point. At that time, Yurong and Xiangyun were the two rare Western Rhododendrons we brought up, played here for a while, One thing is that Miss Bao likes the white peony here, and she also came to play for a while, they, this..."

After Lin Hai left, several aunts also wanted to go home and some went out with their belongings. Now after they all left, only Mrs. Li was left, living alone in the westernmost yard of the backyard.And the three gates separating the backyard from this side are also guarded by a woman, and Mrs. Li has never come out, and Daiyu sent someone to send her in all the time.Lin Wei also asked the women and servants on the two doors, but no one had ever entered or left.

There are not many girls and women in the back house of the Lin family. They are all left by the siblings who have checked over and over again. After all, there are only two little girls. The place is actually quite clean, so while chatting, the two thought of Xue Baochai at the same time, but no one noticed it after asking everywhere.

The two of them were struggling, but saw the girl serving in front of He Hua gently opened the door and said: "Master, Miss is awake."

Lin Wei and Daiyu looked at each other and stood up, Daiyu said: "I'll go and comfort her, you better not go in, she doesn't know what to think when she sees you."

After all, Hehua is still a girl, she must have deep ties when encountering this kind of thing, Lin Wei thought for a while and nodded, then asked the maids everywhere to ask more questions, and Daiyu went to Hehua's place.

Daiyu sat down in front of the lotus bed, holding her pale fingers without making a sound, just watching her teardrops roll down one after another, and just accompanied her quietly.He Hua cried for a while and was physically and mentally exhausted. Dai Yufang wiped her face and said softly: "Someone changed your sister's medicine to hurt you. My brother is already investigating carefully. You have to take care of yourself. No matter what, my brother and I will do it." It's up to you."

He Hua's eyes widened when she heard this, she looked at Dai Yu in horror, and suddenly said hoarsely, "Hit... me?"

The lotus flower suddenly opened her mouth, all the maids in the room were stunned, Daiyu was also startled, after a while she came back to her senses, and said happily: "Go and talk to my brother, my sister can talk now." Someone ran out.

When Lin Wei came in, she saw Daiyu rubbing her face in the palm of the lotus flower and talking carefully, even the lotus flower's face was fluctuating from happiness to sadness because her voice was really healed, seeing Lin Wei coming in Not knowing what that expression meant, tears fell down again, Lin Wei ordered: "Quickly invite Doctor Zhang to come."

Lin Wei asked someone to invite a doctor, and then sat on the stool next to Daiyu, looked at the lotus for a while, and said, "Really, it's really healed."

He Hua pursed her lips and smiled when she heard the words, the tears rolled down her face, Daiyu said: "That doctor is really good, he said that he would get better in autumn, and asked her to give my sister a new one." The prescription, maybe it will really heal in autumn."

Lotus opened her mouth and said, "I..."

Lin Wei finally heard her talk, although her voice was hoarse, she was overjoyed after all, Dai Yu hurriedly said: "Quickly stop talking, do you feel that your throat is uncomfortable?"

He Hua nodded, her throat was burning with pain as soon as she opened her mouth, which was very uncomfortable.The two siblings stayed together for a while, and when they saw that the lotus was drowsy again and seemed to be going to sleep, the girl came back and said: "Master, Doctor Zhang is here."

Both Lin Wei and Daiyu came out of the room to sit on the other side, and the girl led the doctor Zhang into the room. After checking the pulse for a while, Doctor Zhang told Lin Wei that the young lady had a fever and was extremely fierce. , pushed the previous prescription together and opened it again, saying: "This prescription is mainly for guidance. It first clears away the heat and poison, and it is also good for the inflammation of the throat. After four or five days, at most ten days, it will be cured." In the past, it will be fine to change the prescription again at that time."

Lin Wei thanked the doctor for sending it out, and then ordered someone to grab the medicine and come back to fry it. After tossing and tossing for so long, it was getting late, and when she came back again, Daiyu said: "Sister saw that she was not in good spirits and went to sleep again, let's also go to bed first." Come back."

After all, the two of them didn't have any intention of eating. Lin Wei waited until the people from outside came back, so he resigned from Daiyu and came out to ask questions. Only then did he know that the dilapidated house had long been abandoned and no one lived in it. No one knew what happened, so the person who committed the crime couldn't find out.

After Lin Wei asked again carefully, she sorted out the clues one by one, because the time when Xue Baochai left was exactly the same as the time when the girl who decocted the medicine left, so she was more and more sure that she did it.

Lin Wei thought about it, asked someone to talk to Daiyu, then went to Tuyan's place overnight, stared at the back door outside Lin's mansion, narrowed his eyes and muttered, and then ordered the old woman there to be replaced, and to the new tuner. The woman who came up said: "Don't open this door in the future, it is locked now, go and return the key to sister's house."
