When it was time to light the lanterns, Lingrong waited on Fang to drink a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and then left "Yuzhuxuan".Fang wasn't sick at all, but she was really annoyed by Abby Huai. Ling Rong said a few words of relief before letting go.

The resentment and anger towards An Bihuai in Ling Rong's heart rose little by little. In the last life, because of An Bihuai, her mother could not close her eyes until she died!In this life, mother is still sad because of him time and time again!She really would rather not have such a father!

Ling Rong went back to her room in a bad mood, and let Qingyu dismantle her hair.

"Miss, there is news from the old house." Bao Zhu hurriedly came back from the outside, and said happily.

"This is a letter from Mama Song, please read it." Bao Zhu took out a letter from her cuff and handed it to Ling Rong.

Ling Rong opened the letter and looked at the contents carefully.The result was almost the same as she expected, or even better, and Ling Rong's mood immediately improved a lot.

"Burn the letter." Ling Rong handed the letter to Baozhu, who lit it and threw it into the copper basin.

"Remember to tell Mother Song that this matter must not be leaked, let alone let people know that you have investigated this matter, understand?" Ling Rong urged.

"Slaves save me."

"By the way, did that Bai Jintang come to look for the Bai family recently?" Ling Rong asked.

"Yes, it's just that the servant always remembers the young lady's orders, and people watch closely to ensure that he will not succeed." Baozhu said proudly.

"Next time he comes to look for Bai, let the gatekeepers turn a blind eye and let them meet. Remember to ask them to be more careful." Ling Rong ordered.

"Miss, don't worry, I'll take care of this servant girl." Baozhu assured her by patting her chest.

With Baozhu as a living treasure, Lingrong's mood improved a lot.

"Miss, my servant has just sent a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup from the kitchen. What do you want to eat for dinner? Eat a little before you rest." Baoshu walked up to Lingrong with a bowl of lotus seed soup and said, Lingrong did not refuse Baoshu After some good intentions, I drank more than half a bowl before going to rest, and I had nothing to say all night.

Three days later, Fang's health improved a lot, so she took Ling Rong and Ling Shu to greet An's mother.The grandparents and grandchildren were talking, and a servant girl hurried in to report.

"Old madam, madam, it's bad! Aunt Qiao's tire is gasping!"

"Hurry up and call for a doctor!" The old lady was furious.

"My servant has already sent someone to invite Dr. Li, but Aunt Qiao, she...she..." The servant girl faltered, her eyes flickering.

"What happened to her? Tell me!" the old lady shouted.

"Aunt Qiao...Aunt Qiao kept saying that Madam wanted to harm her unborn baby!" The little girl knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

"Mother! No daughter-in-law!" Fang stood up in shock and looked at An's mother in fear. If Ling Rong hadn't supported her in time, Fang might have fallen to the ground.

"Presumptuous! An unworthy concubine dares to slander the mistress of the house!" An's mother looked at Fang's pale face, and her heart became even more angry.

She has been married to An's family for more than [-] years, and she knows very well what kind of person she is. If Fang is not this vicious, she will definitely not do such vicious things.

"Mother..." Fang looked at An's mother gratefully, even An Bihuai, who had slept with her for many years, did not trust her so much!She is still lucky.

"Grandma, let's go see Aunt Qiao first." Ling Rong reminded.

"Okay! Today, old lady, I will go with my own son. I want to see who is so bold as to slander the mistress!" Mother An aggressively took Fang and Lingrong to Qiao's house.

Before entering the room, she heard Qiao's crying and An Bihuai's angry voice, which made An's mother frown.An's mother didn't ask anyone to notify her, so she went straight in, and saw Qiao Shi covering her belly, crying like a pear blossom with rain; while An Bihuai was hugging Qiao Shi, she kept urging people to call for a doctor.

"It's so noisy early in the morning, what a disgrace!" Mother An shouted, Qiao's crying stopped abruptly, An Bihuai also stopped, and the room fell silent instantly.Just at this time, a servant came to report: "Old Madam, Dr. Li is here."

"Please come in quickly." The old lady ordered, seeing that the two people in the room were still hugging each other like glue, their faces darkened even more.

"Huai'er, it's getting late, it's time for you to go out to work in the yamen."

"Mother, Yue'er's fetal gas is moving. I really don't worry about it. It will be too late to go to the yamen after seeing the doctor and the child." Seeing the lovely person in her arms holding her in fear, An Bihuai didn't care about anything. Incredible.

"You!" An's mother was just about to get angry, when a girl lured Dr. Li in, An's mother had no choice but to suppress her anger and asked the doctor to diagnose Qiao's pulse first.

"Doctor Li, is the fetus in this womb all right?" An Bihuai asked anxiously.

"This aunt was just frightened, and her fetal gas was a little unstable. The old man prescribed anti-fetal medicine, decocted it three times a day, and it will be fine in two days. There is nothing serious." Dr. Li said.

"It's fine, it's fine." An Bihuai breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is nothing else, the old man will leave first." Dr. Li said.

"Wait a minute, Doctor Li!" Mrs. Qiao hurriedly stopped her.

"Auntie Qiao, is there any other discomfort?" Dr. Li asked strangely.

"I have to trouble Dr. Li to show my concubine's face. After using the rouge sent by my sister, my face became red and swollen. I don't know why. Please save me!" Qiao said eagerly, It was only then that everyone saw that Qiao's face was covered with dense red rashes, which was very frightening to look at.

"Ah!" Webster who had just arrived couldn't help but exhaled softly, apparently quite frightened.

"Aunt Qiao's skin is sensitive. The old man needs to find out what triggers this disease before prescribing the right medicine. Does Aunt Qiao know what it is?" Dr. Li asked Aunt Qiao, looking at Aunt Qiao's face.

"Our aunt got the rash after using this box of rouge!" The little maid at the side handed a box of rouge to Dr. Li.

Dr. Li sniffed it carefully, tasted it lightly, and said: "This box of rouge has been added with thorn grass powder. This thorn grass has a certain degree of toxicity, but it is not serious. It stands to reason that it shouldn't be so serious." .Aunt Qiao, did you eat anything special today?"

"Auntie woke up in the morning and said that her mouth was bland and tasteless, and she only ate two pieces of hawthorn cake before eating." The little maid on the side replied.

"That's right, hawthorn will intensify the toxicity of the thorn grass, no wonder it is so serious." Dr. Li said.

"Doctor Li, may my face recover? Will there be scars?" Qiao asked nervously.

"The poison is not difficult to cure, as long as you pay attention not to scratch the rash, there will be no scars." Dr. Li comforted.

"Then thank you, Dr. Li." Qiao said happily.

"Doctor Li, please run for a while. Qiuyun, follow Dr. Li to grab the medicine." Mother An ordered.

"Then the old man will leave first." Dr. Li was a sensible person, so he left An's house.

"Okay, since Mrs. Qiao is fine, Huai'er, you can go to the yamen to work first. I will definitely explain everything else to Mrs. Qiao," An's mother said.

"This..." Abby Huai hesitated.

"Master..." Qiao Shi pulled An Bihuai's sleeve timidly, the helplessness in his eyes was so obvious.

"Mother, it's too late to go out now, why don't you ask someone to take a leave of absence for your son." An Bihuai compromised, reluctant to part with the beauty.

Just as An's mother was about to reprimand, Ling Rong gently shook An's mother's hand, and An's mother endured her unhappiness and agreed.

"Mr. Qiao, tell me what happened, so that you are so sure that the madam has tampered with your rouge? You must know that it is not an exaggeration for the concubine to offend and slander her first wife." An's mother stared at Mrs. Qiao and said seriously.

"My servant dare not slander Madam. This box of rouge was indeed distributed by Madam to the courts a few days ago. The servant has never used it because she is pregnant. It is only because she is not feeling well today and her complexion is not good. Who ever used it?" I want to..." Qiao Shi took a look at Fang Shi, and then began to sob and cry again.

"The servant girl knows that my sister is upset because of setting up a concubine, so the servant girl doesn't dare anymore, please show me your hand and spare my sister!"

"Put your tears away! The matter hasn't been investigated yet, so don't jump to conclusions." An's mother couldn't bear Qiao's crying, and shouted directly.Immediately, Fang turned to the side and asked, "Ruzhu, did you send rouge to Qiao?"

"Every sister in the backyard has a set order, and it does contain rouge and gouache, but the daughter-in-law didn't handle these things herself. Most of these things are delivered directly from the shop at home, so there shouldn't be any problems. Yes." Fang didn't deny it, but just said it truthfully.

"That's strange. There are so many people who buy and use the rouge in the shop every day without any problems. How come there is a problem when it enters my sister's yard?" Bai said, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

"Sister Qiao, can you show me that rouge?" Fang said.

"Of course it's possible." Mrs. Qiao signaled the servant girl to hand over the rouge to Mrs. Fang.

Fang took the rouge and looked at it carefully.

"Sister, this box of rouge is not from the An's shop, is my sister sure it is from the order?" Fang asked.

"It's clearly printed with the name of An's family, how could it not be from the An's family?" Qiao didn't believe it.

"Mother, take a look, this box is pink rouge, it should be matched with a red box with dark patterns of peach blossoms, and although this box is also red, it does not have dark patterns of peach blossoms, obviously it is not from our shop Rouge." Fang explained as she handed the box to Mother An.

"Indeed not." Mother An said after examining it carefully for a while.

"Sister, if you still don't believe me, you can take a look at the previous boxes. Each box has different dark patterns in accordance with the fragrance of the rouge. Or, my sister can ask someone to pick up another box of pink rouge for comparison. " Fang looked at Qiao with a smile and said.

"No need, my sister believes in my sister. Since it's not the original box, someone must have deliberately replaced my sister's rouge, and asked my sister to be the master for my sister!" Qiao pleaded.

"Sister, don't worry, I believe father will be able to seek justice for my sister." Fang comforted.

"Sister, do you still remember who sent this rouge?" Wei Shi asked suddenly.

"It...it's been so many days, my sister really doesn't have any memory." Qiao said distressedly.

"Auntie, the maidservant remembers that Mama Li sent it that day, and the maidservant picked it up." The little maidservant on the side said.

"Mother Li? Why would Mother Li send the cases? Isn't Xia He always in charge of sending the cases?" Fang asked.

"This... the servant does not know."

"Go and send Xia He and Mama Li!" Mother An ordered.

After a while, Mother Li and Xia He came.Under the interrogation, it was learned that because the old lady summoned Xia He that day, Xia He had to ask Li's mother to distribute the cases of each court on her behalf.Because the copies of the aunts are all the same, they are only distributed randomly, and it is not sure which one is for Aunt Qiao.In other words, the chance of the rouge being tampered with is only after distribution, and only the person who distributes it is the most likely.

"This old slave is wronged! This old slave didn't harm Aunt Qiao! Please be careful, Mrs. Li!" Ms. Li was terrified, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Mother Li, don't worry. Think back carefully, besides you, did anyone else touch that box of rouge?" Fang said.

"This... Numaid remembers that it was the last order that I sent to Aunt Qiao. At that time, I didn't meet anyone." Mother Li tried hard to recall.

"Is it true that no one has touched it?" Fang confirmed.

"This... this old slave can't remember clearly. Ah, by the way, this old slave remembered something. At that time, Aunt Bai sent Caixia who was next to her to pick it up. Caixia even picked and picked for a long time, as if I'm afraid the old slave will forget something." Mama Li said in detail.

"Has Caixia ever touched rouge?" Fang asked.

"Yes, she also said that Aunt Bai didn't like pink rouge, so she asked her servants to change it into pink." Mother Li said firmly.

"Caixia, do you have something to say?" Fang glanced at Caixia beside Bai, and asked in a cold voice.

"Servant... slave..." Caixia knelt on the ground with a plop, faltering.

"Qiu Yun, drag her down to me and interrogate her!" Mother An said.

"Old lady, please forgive me! Please forgive me!..."

Two quarters of an hour later, Mother Qiu came back, just as Li's mother said, Caixia did the trick.

"Bai Shi, what else do you have to say!" Mother An shouted.

"The servant is wronged! Someone must have bought Caixia to slander the servant!" Bai knelt on the ground, refusing to admit it.

"That's enough! Ever since I entered your An's house, I haven't lived a peaceful day! You'd better stay in your own courtyard and reflect on yourself, Qiu Yun will take her down." With one sentence, Bai Shihei was locked up. .

"As for you, Joe, since you are pregnant, take good care of your baby, don't think about what you have! Don't use rouge, gouache, etc., and remove those sachets and dew! It's all If you are going to be a mother, you should look like a mother!" An's mother said mercilessly to Qiao Shi, Qiao's face was pale, and she looked like she was on the verge of falling.

"Mom! Yue'er is still pregnant, what are you doing!..."

"Knowing that she is pregnant and hugging her every day, I don't know how to behave! If something happens to the fetus, you won't be able to cry! You are not allowed to stay in her room until Qiao's confinement! I don't know how to measure it! "An's mother spoke very seriously, and An Bihuai could only oblige.

The farce calmed down for the time being, and An's mother returned to calm again, but under the illusion of calm, there were turbulent waves hidden...
