The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Yu Ruyue quickly offered a suggestion, "Here's how! Report this to Miss Qin, and then tell her that the braised pork might affect the taste. Bring it over, heat it up a bit, and use this opportunity to check if there's anything wrong with it. If there's no problem, that's great. If there is, replace it immediately!"

Chunju had a headache. "But if there is a problem, what can I use to replace it?"

Yu Ruyue immediately said, "Braised pork! My braised pork can also be arranged like braised pork and put on there. It tastes pretty good. Then I'll ask the young lady to help explain a few words. This matter should be over. I don't think the dean will get angry in public over a bite of food. After that, he can give some gifts and apologize, and the matter will be over."

Chunju thought this was true, so she went back and whispered a few words in her young lady's ear.

Although Qin Wanrou's smile remained unchanged, her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched tightly. Although she didn't want to believe what a peasant girl said, she didn't dare to gamble. After all, the person next to her was not ordinary. If something happened to her in the Li Mansion, the entire Li family would suffer.

"Look, we've been so busy talking. The braised pork must be getting a little cold. Have someone take it away and heat it up. Let's try this seaweed rice roll first. It's incredible! The seaweed on the outside was brought in from the sea by boat. Try it, it's so fresh! I specially had someone come to my house to make it!"

Everyone's eyes instantly fixed on the humble kimbap next to them. A noblewoman next to Qin Wanrou immediately ordered her maid to pick up a piece of kimbap for her.

She took a bite like a lady and her eyes lit up instantly.

"This kimbap may not look fancy, but it tastes really fresh. Not bad!"

Qin Wanrou quickly introduced the hawthorn spareribs next to it. "These spareribs are stewed very soft and tender, and they are also sour and sweet. They are very appetizing. Madam knows that I am pregnant now and my appetite is not very good. I eat this thing and I can eat an extra bowl of rice."

The maidservant next to the lady immediately picked up a piece of pork ribs with a serving chopstick and put it into the bowl of the lady. The lady took a light taste and waited until she had swallowed it completely before she began to praise it.

"It's really delicious. Wanrou is so thoughtful. There are several dishes here that I haven't seen in the provincial capital. Thanks to you, I know there are such delicious foods in the world."

Afterwards, he praised several dishes including the spicy diced chicken.

When the little girl sitting next to the lady heard her mother say this, she quickly picked up the chopsticks and picked up all the food one by one.

Especially the spicy diced chicken, which she liked the most. Although it was so spicy that she drank several sips of water, she still couldn't help eating it. There were also a few peanuts in it, which was fresh, salty and crispy. The little girl loved it so much that she ate one bite after another.

Qin Wanrou watched as the braised pork was about to be cleared away, but a charming and alluring woman beside her suddenly intervened, "Madam! I just took a bite, and the braised pork isn't cold at all! Why are you insisting on having it cleared away? Is there something you're hiding?"

Qin Wanrou was annoyed, but she still smiled. "Madam Hua, you're joking. There's nothing to hide. I just want everyone to eat better."

Concubine Hua covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled softly, "What a fool of the eldest young lady! As the eldest daughter-in-law, it's one thing for her not to anticipate the number of guests, but now she can't even control the temperature of the food. Isn't this making our Li Mansion a laughing stock?"

After she finished speaking, she stood up with a smile on her face, bowed slightly to the guests below, and said, "I'm sorry for the ignorance of my younger generation! Put down the meat!"

Yu Ruyue, who was brought in to wait for the result, was speechless about this concubine Hua. She was just a concubine, and she was making such a fuss while the eldest young lady was entertaining guests, as if she was afraid that others would not know about the discord in the Li family's backyard!

Qin Wanrou was so angry at Hua Yi Niang's dead look that her stomach hurt. She secretly cursed her father-in-law who favored his concubine and killed his wife. Has he forgotten where his huge fortune came from?

Suddenly, the noble lady sitting next to Qin Wanrou spoke, "Auntie Hua, right?!"

When Aunt Hua saw that the noble lady actually knew who she was, she laughed with joy and was convinced that the noble lady must have been moved by her truth, goodness and beauty today. She was excited and it seemed that she was one step closer to pushing her son to the throne.

"Madam! I am Aunt Hua! By the way, my son..."

The lady's face suddenly darkened, and she dropped her chopsticks with a snap. "Your Li Mansion really has no rules. A concubine actually dares to bypass the eldest young lady and claim to be the host at a banquet like this!"

Concubine Hua was so frightened that her legs went limp and she knelt down. "Madam, please calm down. I am the master's concubine, and I am also the elder of the eldest young lady, so I want to help her..."

The noble lady became even more annoyed. "Don't you have any legitimate elders in the Li family? You let a concubine help Wanrou?"

Qin Wanrou immediately stepped forward and said, "Madam, calm down. Someone, please get Concubine Hua out of here!"

When Chunju heard this, she immediately rushed forward with her men and dragged Hua away.

Yu Ruyue witnessed everything from the side and also guessed roughly that it seemed that Concubine Hua was probably a favored concubine in this family, and that Master Li probably favored his concubine over his wife, so he allowed Concubine Hua to become so ambitious. Judging from her abnormal reaction, it can be seen that Manager Fei should be in cahoots with her.

really!

Soon, the four men found a colorless and odorless medicine in several portions of braised pork. The medicine should have been stewed in the meat as a seasoning. It could not be detected by silver needles and could only be found after taking the medicine for a period of time and then taking the pulse.

Moreover, this medicine will not cause any harm to normal people, but if a pregnant woman or a person with an injury takes it, it will cause miscarriage or heavy bleeding, and in severe cases, it may even result in two deaths.

After Qin Wanrou received the news, her back was instantly wet with sweat. She touched her bulging belly with trembling hands, and a wave of fear swept over her whole body. She was very glad that she did not blindly deny what Yu Ruyue said because of her identity, and she was even more glad that she invited Yu Ruyue to come and cook!

To be honest, Yu Ruyue was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. If Qin Wanrou's child really got hurt because of the braised pork, the Li family would definitely not suspect that there was something wrong with Tianfulou's food, but would instead suspect her.

She was a powerless peasant girl. Even if the truth came out later, judging from Concubine Hua's performance today, Master Li would certainly not have the heart to punish her. He would directly find a scapegoat to appease the resentment in his eldest daughter-in-law's heart and bury her with the unborn life.

And she, a peasant girl with no identity and no background, is the best candidate.

Thinking of this, Yu Ruyue prepared the braised meat herself and personally escorted the maids to the table.

This also made her realize for the first time the horror of internal strife in ancient mansions!

But at this moment, the little girl next to the nobleman suddenly covered her neck tightly, and her face turned black and purple.

Yu Ruyue was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she even thought about where to bury the body.
