Seeing Liu Ruoyuan and others getting on the carriage and leaving, everyone dispersed. Liu Ruosi followed Mrs. Liu Er, and Mrs. Liu San came to see the eldest sister first. Grandma Liu's eyes were a little red, seeing them coming

Yes, I brought people out to greet him.

"How is the eldest sister? The imperial doctor came to see her, but what did she say? The old lady is really worried." Mrs. Liu Er said.

"You were fine last night, why did you suddenly become ill?" Mrs. Liu San also asked.

Grandma Liu led everyone inside and answered everyone's questions one by one. According to her, she didn't know how the eldest sister got sick, and even after asking the girls, they didn't know the reason. The imperial doctor had already arrived.

After that, I checked the eldest sister’s pulse.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu paused.

"What did the imperial doctor say?" Everyone hurriedly asked, and at this time they had already entered the eldest sister's house.

The eldest sister's room only has two narrow rooms, inside and outside. The eldest sister is lying on the couch in the inner room, her hair spread on the pillow, covered with a quilt, and she seems to be still sleeping soundly.

"The imperial doctor has prescribed a prescription, which contains medicinal materials to soothe the nerves. Sister, I have been busy all night..." Liu Da/Grandma said, still not mentioning the imperial doctor's diagnosis.

Seeing that the eldest sister was asleep, we couldn't sit still for a long time. We just went to the bed and took a look. We saw that the eldest sister's face was pale, her lips were a little purple, and her eyes were faintly dark. Everyone felt pitiful when they looked at it, Liu Da

/Grandma invited everyone to come out and sit in her room. When the little girl brought tea, everyone started talking about the cause of the eldest sister's illness.

After being questioned repeatedly by everyone, Grandma Liu was still a little hesitant.

"...The imperial doctor didn't tell me very clearly," Grandma Liu said, "I just asked what food I had eaten yesterday, and he said that he probably violated dietary taboos and ate something that was incompatible with it."

Grandma Liu said this, and Mrs. Liu San immediately became alert. Mrs. Liu San is now in charge of the kitchen. If the eldest sister has food problems, Mrs. Liu San will inevitably be held responsible.

"...What did you eat? Sister, the girls' meals are all set, but they are just some regular dishes. I have eaten them all these years and have never had any problems. Sister, I ate something else."

?Who gave the eldest sister another meal?" Mrs. Liu San said seriously. At the same time, she ordered someone to call the kitchen steward to ask what food was given to the eldest sister last night.

Soon the kitchen steward came, and Mrs. Liu San asked in front of Grandma Liu, but no questions were asked. Mrs. Liu San then urged the maids and women who would serve Grandma Liu.

They were all called over and asked again, but still had no clue.

"This is strange." Mrs. Liu San narrowed her eyes and secretly looked at Grandma Liu. "If you don't find out clearly, I'm afraid you have to go back to the old lady."

"...It's not necessary, the imperial doctor said. Although it looks a little dangerous, it's actually not a big deal. Just take two patches of medicine and it'll be fine. There's been a lot going on lately, and it's not good to let the old lady worry about it anymore." Because Mrs. Liu San

Stubborn and unwilling to let go, Grandma Liu also somewhat understood what Mrs. Liu San meant. She had no choice but to say, "The kid is not sensible and ate something randomly. It has nothing to do with the kitchen."

When Mrs. Liu San saw what Grandma Liu had said, she stopped asking further questions.

Everyone sat at Grandma Liu's place for a while. Seeing that Grandma Liu was a little distracted, they all left. Mrs. Liu San did not go back to her own yard. Instead, she followed Mrs. Liu Er and Liu Ruosi to Liu Er.

I sat in my wife's room.

"Second sister-in-law, my eldest sister's illness is really strange." Mrs. Liu San told Mrs. Liu Er.

Liu Ruosi couldn't help but nod, saying that she was just talking about the illness, and judging from the appearance of the eldest sister, and the few words that Grandma Liu accidentally said, the eldest sister was clearly poisoned. Moreover, this

Eighty-nine times out of ten, the poison is still in the food.

"It's a coincidence that if you don't get sick early, you won't get sick later. But at this time, I have to attend the eldest princess's poetry meeting. The eldest sister is sick and can't go." Mrs. Liu San rolled her eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Come. "Second sister-in-law, have you seen that grandma's attitude is very strange today?"

The eldest sister is sick, and Grandma Liu seems to be very anxious. However, she clearly has doubts, but Grandma Liu doesn't seem to want to go into details. Not only that, she also wants to hide it.

Has Liu Da/Grandma already found out something, or is she just suspicious?

"They are fighting among themselves!" Mrs. Liu San thought for a while and then laughed.

When Mrs. Liu San said this, Mrs. Liu Er also thought of some possibility and couldn't help but sigh and shake her head.

"... I know that no one in that house is easy to worry about. They are all so cruel and ruthless that they will not be recognized by their relatives. If I had known this earlier, I would not have let our fourth girl go. I would have followed the eldest and second girls. I'm afraid

We four girls are going to suffer." Mrs. Liu San said,

"Didn't you send Nanny Zhang to follow her?" Mrs. Liu Er said.

"But then." Mrs. Liu San nodded, "Originally, she was not needed for this matter. But when I saw that the eldest and second girls were gone, I was a little worried, so I simply sent her to serve with the fourth girl."

Not only that, Mrs. Liu San also told Liu Ruoshan to be careful about Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan.

"Second sister-in-law, I always have a bad feeling."

"I'm worried too."

The two sisters-in-law were talking, and Liu Ruosi walked out on her own. Old Mrs. Liu was in charge, and she couldn't stop Liu Ruoyuan from attending the poetry meeting this time. And Liu Ruojuan went to the poetry meeting instead of her eldest sister. For Liu Ruosi

That's good news.

Both Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan are interested in this marriage, and when the time comes, they will each show their talents, suppress each other, and hold each other back. The result will be a lose-lose situation for both parties.

It's better to make the eldest princess dissatisfied. From now on, the two of them have stopped thinking about marrying into the Hou family. This is much better than letting the eldest sister go and Liu Ruoyuan shines. However, what is the eldest sister's "illness"?

Whose hand was it over there?

Liu Ruojuan is naturally the most likely, but does Liu Ruojuan already have such ability? In addition to Liu Ruojuan, there is also Mrs. Liu. Although one is a granddaughter and the other is a daughter, it can be seen that Mrs. Liu has a deep affection for Liu Ruojuan.

The attitude is somewhat different from the past. Mrs. Liu is very happy and proud that Liu Ruojuan can go to the eldest princess's poetry meeting.

Is it Mrs. Liu who did this? What kind of plan does Mrs. Liu have? Isn’t she afraid that Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan will quarrel?

No, Liu Ruosi shook her head when she thought of this. How could Mrs. Liu think that Liu Ruojuan would compete with Liu Ruoyuan? Naturally, Liu Ruojuan was not as good as Liu Ruoyuan and could only serve as Liu Ruoyuan's follower and helper.

However, the final result may not be as good as Mrs. Liu's wishes.

…

At the Zhengding Hou Mansion, the girls who were invited to participate in the poetry party arrived one after another. The eldest princess did not come out to greet them in person. She was sitting in the inner room, listening to the reports from the servants.

"The ninth girl from the Wei family didn't come, because she caught a cold. The third girl from the Liu family didn't come either, because she caught a cold?" the eldest princess asked, squinting her eyes slightly.

The steward's wife who came to report quickly said yes.

The eldest princess couldn't help but sneer.

"It's okay if the third girl from the Liu family doesn't come. That girl seems to be quite similar to her parents. She is also aloof and has never bothered us. The ninth girl from the Wei family doesn't come either. She has found Gao Zhi'er.

?It can be seen that the rumor is not false, it is really hateful!"

The eldest princess fell to the ground and broke the tea cup in her hand. The people waiting in the room held their breath and dared not speak.

"Uncle Dingyuan, that cunning old fox!" the eldest princess scolded. "A few days ago, he nodded and bowed his head to flatter the Marquis. He wished he could send the ninth girl from his family over immediately and get engaged to Qing'er right away.

.In the blink of an eye, he saw that the youngest son of Prince Yongjing had gained the upper hand. He had been trying to get on both sides of the river, but now he saw that the tide was rising on that side, so he decided to defect to that side.

Head off."

"Damn old thing!" The eldest princess cursed several times, obviously hating Uncle Dingyuan. "How dare you look down on my young man? That old man, sooner or later, I will let him know how powerful he is.

!”

Everyone who was serving in the room hurriedly tried to persuade her, saying that the eldest princess did not deserve to be so angry with Uncle Dingyuan.

"The ninth girl in his family is just a middle-aged girl. There are many people in the capital who are much better than her. They are not just chosen by you, princess."

"This old man can't bear to part with his daughter, and because of his lack of support, he wants the yellow-haired girl from the side branch of his family to be Qing'er's wife!" The eldest princess looked at the poems and notes sent by the servants. Although Miss Wei Jiu did not come,

, but the Wei family sent Miss Wei Wu and Miss Wei Liu.

When the people waiting in the room heard what the eldest princess said and looked at the eldest princess's expression, they knew that the girls of the Wei family would never be able to catch the eldest princess's eye again, and I'm afraid the eldest princess would also hold a grudge against them all.

"The eldest daughter and the second daughter of the Liu family are here." The eldest princess' anger seemed to come and go quickly. She picked up some other poems and read them, "The poems are quite good. They are worthy of being a scholar for generations."

, the origin of the Hanlin family."

Speaking of this, the eldest princess began to ponder again.

"Did you really hear what you heard that day?" The eldest princess called a little girl next to her to ask.

"Reply to the princess, my maid listened very clearly." The little girl replied hurriedly.

"I didn't expect that the third girl of the Liu family is actually a slut, but I really can't tell. No wonder she doesn't want to get close to me, and she doesn't want to come this time. It must be for this reason. She knows the truth!"

"It's just that our prince seems..." A confidant, an old lady, whispered.

"Qing'er is an infatuated and silly child. This is the only thing that I cannot accept." The eldest princess said in a firm tone, "The eldest and second girls of the Liu family are really interesting..."
