After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day
Chapter 147 The mantis stalks the cicada
She chewed it slowly and tasted it. It tasted just as good as ever, but when she tasted it carefully, it was a little unusual.
Lin Shuning frowned slightly but said nothing.
Seeing this, Lian Er thought that the food she cooked today was not tasty, so she immediately picked up a piece of chicken and was about to put it in her mouth, but Lin Shuning suddenly stopped her: "Wait! Don't move!"
Lian Er stopped her chopsticks at her lips and asked suspiciously, "Miss, what's wrong?"
"This dish is poisonous." Lin Shuning spoke word by word, his face becoming serious.
"What?!" Lian'er was startled and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground. The chicken bones rolled down and hit the foot of the chair and stopped.
"Miss, then please spit it out quickly!" Lian'er exclaimed, reaching out her hand to her mouth to catch it, her eyes full of worry.
Lin Shuning smiled and shook his head, gently moved her hand away, and swallowed the chicken: "Don't worry, it's just a little poison, it won't harm me."
As she spoke, she flipped her wrist, threw a Seven Stars Spiritual Essence Pill into her mouth, and began to eat it indifferently.
"I'm just curious, who put this there?"
"Who else could it be!" Lian'er snorted coldly, "It must be Wang or He. Just now when I was washing the vegetables, I found a lot of fine powder on the surface. I thought it was dust, but it turned out to be poison powder."
She said with some guilt in her tone: "It's all my fault. I was careless for a moment and almost hurt the young lady."
"It's none of your business. They are shameless," Lin Shuning frowned slightly. "But I don't think He did this. She probably doesn't know that I didn't give the money to Lin Cheng. If she poisons me, wouldn't she be shooting herself in the foot?"
Lian'er's tone condensed: "Then... is it Wang?"
Lin Shuning nodded slowly: "It should be."
"Is there any mother like her?!" Lian'er gritted her teeth and stamped her feet in anger: "It's ok that she doesn't wish you well, but she actually wants to poison you!
If it weren't for you, my lady, who knows medicine and poisons, I'm afraid she would have succeeded long ago. In my opinion, she is either crazy, or as I just said, she is not your biological mother at all!"
Lin Shuning was silent for a moment, then said, "Take the food down and dump it. Don't use the pots, bowls, and pans used for cooking or serving.
This poison powder has been boiled at high temperatures and has already seeped into the cracks. It cannot be washed away with water. I will ask Butler Song to send some new ones later."
"Yes, Miss." Lian'er agreed and went out with the food.
The autumn wind is picking up.
With her long hair and dark black dress fluttering in the wind, Lin Shuning's eyes were calm, and her raised jaw was firm and delicate, drawing a flowing arc in the golden sunlight, extending the delicate lines of her entire face to just the right degree.
The two very elegant eyebrows stretched out in such exquisiteness, making the pair of cold and sparkling eyes under the eyebrows even more prominent, so bright that they could not be restrained, like the sharp edge of a famous sword waiting to be drawn.
She narrowed her eyes, a fleeting smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and she stood up and closed the door.
……
Sunset West Mountain.
The lights were turned on everywhere in the gradually darkening mansion, and a sharp laugh suddenly broke out in the quiet courtyard.
"Are you telling the truth? Did you really see that little bitch eat the poisoned food with your own eyes?"
Wang held Nanny Jiang's hand excitedly, her eyes shining with anticipation and excitement.
"It is absolutely true. I saw with my own eyes that Lian'er gave the poisoned meal to Miss San and then left," Nanny Jiang smiled flatteringly and rubbed her hands nervously, "Madam, look, what you promised me..."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it right away." Wang happily grabbed the tea on the table and drank it all, then asked cautiously, "Is it done cleanly? There won't be any clues left, right?"
Lin Cheng now wants that little bitch to marry into the royal family. He must want to rely on her to win over the third prince. But now he died before the plan is accomplished. With his cautious nature, he will definitely send someone to investigate thoroughly.
"This old servant and the vegetable farmer said that Madam wanted to make some dietary supplements for the Third Miss, and took the opportunity to put medicine in it. It should not be noticed. This old servant also burned the handkerchief, so there is no trace left." Nanny Jiang answered respectfully.
Wang looked satisfied and said, "You did a good job, but you don't have to keep the vegetable farmer. You can go find Butler Liu later and find an excuse to ask him to change the vegetable supplier."
"Yes, ma'am."
Wang looked out the window at the darkening sky and waved her hand cheerfully, "Go down. The poison will take effect in a few hours. You can pretend to deliver food and then take the opportunity to test the situation."
Nanny Jiang glanced at Wang and quickly agreed.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This Wang was really cruel. After poisoning her own daughter, she was not at all irritated. Instead, she looked happy, as if she had been expecting this for a long time.
This third young lady is really pitiful.
"I'll take my leave." Nanny Jiang smiled awkwardly, put her hands in her sleeves, and slowly retreated. Just as she was about to turn around, she heard a "bang" in front of her, as if she had hit something hard and staggered two steps.
She looked up and saw Lin Cheng with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a gloomy expression.
"Master!" Nanny Jiang was startled and quickly knelt down to apologize: "I deserve to die. I didn't have eyes and bumped into you. Please forgive me, Master."
Her eyes rolled around in panic and disbelief. Ever since Aunt He came into the mansion, the master rarely stayed in the mistress's courtyard.
It has been at least two years since the last time I came here. Why are you here today?
Could it be that they discovered that she poisoned the third young lady and came to hold her accountable?
If a servant poisons his master and is discovered, at best his farm will be sold, at worst his life will be in danger.
Thinking of this, Nanny Jiang, who was already feeling guilty, broke out in cold sweat on her back, her throat tightened, and she couldn't even kneel steadily.
Wang, who was sitting at the table and looking extremely proud, heard the noise outside and walked out with an annoyed look on her face: "Didn't I tell you to do it quickly? Why are you still hesitating here..."
The moment she saw Lin Cheng, she stopped talking. She covered her mouth and said in disbelief, "Master... Master?"
Lin Cheng responded.
He walked past Nanny Jiang and came in front of her, lowered his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you master and servant? Why do you both look so frightened when you see me? Did you do something bad behind my back?"
"How...how could that be!" Wang looked away guiltily. When she met his hawk-like gaze again, her eyes were already filled with tears. "It's just that the master hasn't come to my room for too long. The concubine and the nanny were too surprised."
"So you blame me for ignoring you?"
"I dare not," Wang smiled flatteringly, "Master, why are you here so late? Is there something wrong?"
"Of course I came to rest," Lin Cheng's narrowed eyes showed a smile. He gently took Wang's hands and patted them meaningfully. "I have indeed neglected you these days, but didn't I come here tonight? Don't worry, I will make it up to you and thank you for giving birth to a good daughter for me."
Wang no longer cared who the "good daughter" he was talking about was. She was completely captivated by the words "I'll make it up to you tonight".
Her face instantly flushed, and she said shyly, "Master, are you going to stay here tonight?"
"Not welcome?" Lin Cheng pretended to be stern.
"Welcome, of course you're welcome!" Wang quickly responded. As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled Lin Cheng and hurriedly walked into the house.
Looking at the two people's backs as they left in a lingering manner, Nanny Jiang, who stayed where she was, showed a disheveled expression.
After all, she was an old employee who had worked in the Shangshu Mansion for more than 20 years, and she had never seen such an expression on the master's face.
Greasy?
Yes, it's greasy.
Nanny Jiang shook off the goose bumps all over her body and ran away as if escaping from danger.
There was only one candle lit in the dim room. Wang held Lin Cheng's hand and sat on the bed, looking at him lovingly. Her eyes were so sticky that they seemed to be tearing.
She raised her arm and reached out to untie Lin Cheng's coat, her voice soft, "Master, it's getting late, I'll wait for you to rest."
"It's still early, why rush?" Lin Cheng brushed her arm away without leaving a trace. "After all, I belong to you tonight."
"master!"
Wang's heart was moved, and she threw herself into his arms with red eyes, complaining: "I thought the master would stay at Aunt He's house for the rest of his life and would never come to my room again. You don't know how I have been living without you. It's simply a life worse than death. I waited from dusk to dawn..."
Lin Cheng listened quietly, his body shaking unconsciously, as if he was very uncomfortable with Wang's blatant and intimate behavior.
He calmly pulled Wang away from his arms and said awkwardly, "How could that be? You are my legal wife, how can you be compared to He's concubine? In the future, I will definitely come to your room more often to accompany you..."
While comforting Wang, he raised his hand and gently stroked Wang's hair, then pulled it hard and pulled out a large clump of hair.
