Chapter 34: Contaminated pastries

Seeing Si Yi Niang unceasingly looking at the furnishings in the house, Du Xuechun couldn't help asking, "Do Si Yi Niang like this place?"
Hearing this, Si Yi Niang's expression was stunned, and she turned to look at Du Xuechun, but Du Xuechun's expression did not show any strangeness. Si Yi Niang breathed a sigh of relief. At that time, she and the master were still in the countryside. I know, there is no other meaning to this question.
"This Yayuan is a good place, it's warm in winter and cool in summer. The old lady can live here for the lady. I think she loves her very much."
Although Si Yi Niang tried to control her emotions, she still couldn't conceal the sorrow in her words.
Du Xuechun knew it in her heart, she just said lightly, "If the aunt doesn't dislike it, I will ask a girl to show you around."
"This, I'm afraid it is inconvenient!" Si Yiniang's tone was a little bit of excitement, but also a little embarrassed. After all, this is Du Xuechun's own residence. If it is someone else, who wants his residence to be seen everywhere? Si Yi Niang looked at Du Xuechun with a hint of sympathy. This girl had just returned from the countryside, and she didn't know how sinister the people in the capital were.
Seeing a faint expectation in Si Yiniang's eyes, Du Xuechun greeted a girl over, "Dongchun, take your auntie around."
Si Yiniang stood up happily at the moment, and put the food box in her hand on the table, "These are some cakes I brought, I made it myself, and I hope that the lady will not dislike it. I just looked around. "Si Yiniang's tone couldn't hide her excitement.
Waiting for Dongchun to take the Siyi Niang out, the smile on Du Xuechun's face cooled down. He took out a silver needle and pierced it on the pastry, only to find that it was on the top of the food box. The piece of cake is indeed mixed with poison.
It's just that the poison was poisoned by the fourth wife? Du Xuechun didn't think so. Although these four aunts were not favored in the mansion, they would not be stupid enough to personally deliver poisonous cakes for them to eat.
Moreover, now he is a celebrity beside the old lady, even if Du Heng doesn't pursue anything, the old lady won't let Si Yiniang go. If something happens, how can she say clearly? The girls up and down in Yayuan all saw her come in with a food box.
At this moment, Du Xuechun's mind came up with the sneaky figure that followed Si Yiniang before, and it was clear in her heart.
For a long time, Si Yi Niang sweated a little, and she returned to Du Xuechun's residence. She watched her pastry being opened but didn't move at all, she also felt a little leng.
"Is this cake not to the eldest's appetite?" Si Yi Niang asked timidly, a little at a loss. At home, Du Xuechun's position is far higher than himself.
Du Xuechun smiled, "No, I'm waiting for my aunt to eat together! Dongchun, go make two cups of good tea, and I will taste it with Siyi Niang." She turned to Dongchun and said.
Yu Guang kept looking at Si Yiniang, but saw that Si Yiniang's expression was not half different. Hearing that he wanted to taste it with her, he sat down.
Si Yi Niang picked up the most superficial piece of pastry and said, "Miss, this is the most famous pastry in our hometown, Xue Mei Niang, can you try it?" She handed the dessert to Du Xuechun.
Du Xuechun frowned slightly. The fourth aunt was so eager to taste this cake by herself. Could it be that she really caused the poison?
Moreover, the few cakes on the surface are poisonous, no matter how you take them, you will eat poison.
In a moment, tea was delivered by Dongchun.
Du Xuechun didn't pick up the cakes from Si Yiniang's hand for a long time. Si Yiniang's stiff hands in the air were also slightly embarrassed. She just smiled and said, "Is it because the eldest lady doesn't like these rough snacks?"
The smile on Si Yi Niang's face faded. Although she had tried her best to restrain her, she still couldn't conceal the loss in her expression.
"This Xue Meiniang is too sweet. Xueer has been a little upset recently. I am afraid it is not suitable. Why don't you eat for Xueer? Thank you for her kindness." Du Xuechun was still smiling at the moment. Si Niang said.
Si Yi Niang understood this, and said, "That's right, many people don't like this taste." Si Yi Niang also took her hand back, took a sip of tea, and was about to deliver that Xue Mei Niang to her mouth.
Seeing that the pastry was about to be bitten off, Du Xuechun's expression suddenly moved, and he patted Si Yiniang's hand directly, and the pastry fell to the ground.
Si Yi Niang was taken aback, slightly puzzled, "Miss, what are you doing..."
When she talked, her expression was a little bad. She originally thought Du Xuechun was very ethical, not like he came from the country, but she had misread it?
Du Xuechun looked at her and didn't mean to her, she just said, "Si Yi Niang, this cake can't be eaten." It's not that she wanted to please Si Yi Niang, but she died violently after eating the cake here, and she couldn't tell. .
Although I didn't eat this cake, I still can't shirk the blame. Didn't it follow the heart of the poisoned person?
When Si Yiniang heard this, she stood up in vain, with a look of anger, and said, "Does the eldest lady think I have poisoned this cake?"
Si Yi Niang was a little angry now. She was kind, but she didn't want to be misunderstood by Du Xuechun, so she was naturally dissatisfied.
At this time, Du Xuechun just looked back at Mingying, Mingying suddenly understood, closed the doors and windows, and looked around carefully.
"Six sisters don't want to be angry, we will know as soon as we try."
Du Xuechun spoke at this moment, took out the silver needle in his sleeve, and pierced it on the cake. Suddenly, the white silver needle changed color in front of the two of them.
The woman in front of her face changed, "This, this is impossible!"
Having said that, Si Yiniang also understood something, and eagerly explained, "Miss, this poison is not mine!"
Si Yiniang's tone was a little nervous, she looked at Du Xuechun, and now this cake was tested to be poisoned in front of her own eyes, she was indefensible, can Du Xuechun believe her?
I was already struggling in the mansion. Although Du Xuechun was not favored by Du Heng, the old lady would not let her go. After all, Du Xuechun was also the daughter of the prime minister's mansion!
Seeing Si Niang's expression, Du Xuechun felt affirmed in her heart, "Auntie don't be nervous, Xueer believes that this poison can never be caused by her aunt."
Hearing this, Si Yiniang felt a little relieved, and said, "It must be someone like Song Qingyu! She knew I was coming to see you, so..."
"Si Yi Niang, don't say anything about this for now, we only need to know about it." Du Xuechun looked at Si Yi Niang and said.
