Chapter 115 Life hangs by a thread
The two of them each had their own secrets, and the artificial performance ended only after they pretended to be a loving mother and a filial son.
Not long after finishing breakfast, she was told to set off. Anyway, she didn't need to prepare anything, as long as she climbed into the carriage.
This place is quite close to the capital, otherwise Chen Yi would not send servants to deliver money and cloth every month.
It only takes seven days to reach the place by horseback, but the carriage is slow and takes twice as long.
It takes about half a month to arrive in Beijing.
And she only had seventeen days left to complete the task.
After much deliberation, I felt that the best way was to avoid future troubles, and the latter would naturally be the [Ningjiang Town] Wang family.
If these two siblings don't die, they will be a disaster after all.
Seeing Wang Hanmo ordering people to be fed to dogs without raising his eyebrows, one knew that this man had a dark heart and did many bad things.
On the way, Li Tianjiao caught a cold and developed a fever.
With great effort, she raised her hand and pulled the maid [Huan'er] who was sleeping next to her. Huan'er was sleeping very lightly and woke up instantly.
She couldn't see clearly in the darkness, so she raised her hand and opened the curtains of the carriage. Through the moonlight, she realized that something was wrong with Li Tianjiao.
He reached out and touched her forehead, and immediately the sleepiness completely disappeared.
He quickly got out of the carriage and went to report.
Wang Chimei was still very concerned about her fake son. She came over in the evening wearing a cloak, but she didn't get into the carriage. She just warned the doctor outside the carriage to treat the person quickly.
"Madam, don't worry, the young master just has a fever caused by the wind and cold. Just wipe the young master's whole body with warm water several times and drink a few doses of medicine and he will be cured."
After hearing what the doctor said, Wang Chimei let go of her high spirits.
We are about to enter Beijing, so we can’t make any mistakes.
The accompanying doctor treated him well, and Li Tianjiao recovered quickly.
It's just that he is sick and his face is a little pale.
In addition, the carriage was bumpy on the road, so I didn't get a good rest.
She wasn't even in the mood to see the scenery along the way, so she fell asleep. Huan'er would wake her up after dinner.
In this state of sleeping, eating, eating and sleeping, she felt like she was back on the weekend in the 21st century.
Time passed day by day, and finally arrived in the capital one day early.
At this time, she only had three days left to complete the task.
At night, they were arranged to stay outside.
Li Tianjiao's illness had long since recovered, but at night Wang Chimei personally brought a bowl of dark Chinese medicine.
Li Tianjiao was surprised in his heart and said: "Mother, I have recovered from my illness a long time ago. It will be painful if I don't take medicine." He tried his best to behave like a child.
Wang Chimei said: "Be good, the doctor said that this medicine is needed to cure the disease completely. It's not bitter at all, I added sugar."
Li Tianjiao didn't understand which link went wrong, which actually caused her to follow the same path in the book.
This Wang Chimei will not give up until she poisons herself to death!
Glancing at the respectful Nanny Zhang on the side, Li Tianjiao understood. I think this must be the work of Aunt Zhang, whom Wang Hanmo just found.
The truth was just as Li Tianjiao thought. It was Granny Zhang who suggested that Li Tianjiao be killed and Wang Chimei drink some for herself.
All the evidence was secretly pointed at the real wife, and the false son's lies were solved at the same time.
It's important to have a good son, but this fake son is a bad move after all. Maybe one day the paper will no longer be able to contain the fire.
Killing two birds with one stone is really a good plan.
In the end, Chen Yi will definitely feel sorry for Wang Chimei's loss of her son, and while punishing his wife, he will bring her into his house openly and honestly.
I have to say that Grandma Zhang read the script in advance just like Li Tianjiao, and she is thorough in everything. She is truly a talent.
He is indeed a palace retiree hired by Wang Hanmo with a lot of money.
This method, this scheming, is worthy of a woman who can get out of the palace alive.
Li Tianjiao knew that this bowl was poison, so he didn't know how to drink it, and he was afraid that they would forcefully drink it.
If you are delicate and frail, you will definitely be invincible.
Then her big eyes instantly became moist, "Mother, you are so kind to me.
I had to hold on when I was sick before, and I had never been cared for so carefully. "Li Tianjiao lies as soon as he opens his mouth.
Wang Chimei put the medicine on the table and pushed it in front of her: "You are my son, I don't care about you, who cares about you?
Be good, drink it while it's hot. "
Li Tianjiao reached out and picked up the bowl. Just as he was about to drink it, he pretended that his lips were burned when he said "It's so hot" and put the bowl down again.
Wang Chimei's patience seemed to be running out, and she was about to get angry when she heard Li Tianjiao say: "Since mother is so good to me, then I will tell mother a secret."
The patience on Wang Chimei's face quickly collapsed, and she was not interested in this secret at all.
Li Tianjiao didn't wait for her to say anything, and continued: "Actually, I have read the Thousand-Character Classic and the Three-Character Classic by heart."
He said with a proud look on his face: "Master said that I have a photographic memory and will definitely be the top scorer in high school in the future."
Then his face sank again: "It's a pity that I won't be able to go to school next year because my family is too poor."
Wang Chimei was stunned when she heard this, and her mind quickly flashed to [photographic memory] and [top pick in high school].
Li Tianjiao raised his own value and talked about his own difficulties, which gave Wang Chimei the mentality of not being a trafficker, but a savior.
Looking at Nanny Zhang calmly, she shook her head slightly.
Li Tianjiao had been observing Nanny Zhang with his peripheral vision. Seeing her actions now, he knew that he had escaped tonight.
"Then Brother Jin, would you like to memorize the Three Character Sutra for me?" Wang Chimei put a smile on her face again.
Li Tianjiao nodded vigorously and immediately recited it without getting stuck: "People are inherently good by nature, similar natures and habits are far apart..."
Wang Chimei was very patient this time, waiting for Li Tianjiao to finish memorizing the entire Three Character Classic.
He looked at Nanny Zhang again, and this time the calculation in their eyes was clear.
Li Tianjiao's mouth was dry, and he pretended to reach for the poison on the table, but Granny Zhang quickly took it away and said: "The medicine is cold, I will give you a bowl for the young master."
Li Tianjiao raised his head and smiled innocently at Grandma Zhang: "Thank you, Grandma, remember to add sugar."
Nanny Zhang nodded, bowed and retreated.
Wang Chimei then stood up: "It's getting late. I'll go back and rest first. I'll see your father tomorrow, so don't sleep too much."
Li Tianjiao also stood up: "Okay, mother."
After Wang Chimei walked away, Li Tianjiao rubbed his stagnant face with his small hands and returned to his expressionless face.
Suddenly tired, Li Tianjiao couldn't help but sigh: Alas! Why do you suddenly feel that house fighting is more difficult than cultivating?
Fortunately, the house fight was only temporary, otherwise she would have been bald, which would have been too nerve-wracking.
Dingdong: The host can apply for assistance.
Li Tianjiao raised his eyebrows. Is there an auxiliary function?
"What an auxiliary method."
"Due to the host's intervention, Li Cuibao successfully escaped the fate of becoming stupid, creating a butterfly effect.
The subsequent plot has been changed, and the host can spend spirit stones to watch the plot. "
Li Tianjiao keenly noticed that the system said 'escape the fate of becoming stupid' but did not mention 'change death. ’ It means there will be bad luck tonight.
"How much does it cost?" She didn't want more.
"The first time only requires one spirit stone, the second time is double, the third time is double, and so on."
Li Tianjiao understood instantly, one for the first time, two for the second time, four for the third time, eight for the fourth time, and so on.
Fortunately, they are not equal multiples, otherwise even if she had the treasury, it would be emptied.
"Spend a spirit stone and start watching."
Ding Dong: Please accept.
Then Li Tianjiao had an extra piece of information in his mind.
[You feel that tonight you have successfully dispelled Nanny Zhang and Wang Chimei’s determination to kill you, so when Nanny Zhang takes another bowl of soup, you drink it without hesitation. You die and the mission fails. ]
Li Tianjiao put her little hands on the table and knocked them repeatedly. How should she break this deadlock?
For today's plan, we can only...
So Li Tianjiao stood up, went out and said to Huan'er: "I'm hungry, go to the kitchen and find me something to eat."
"Can…"
"No but, there is no fire in the kitchen, so you can cook it for me."
When Huan'er heard such an overbearing order, she looked up in surprise and saw a pair of cold eyes looking directly at her.
I couldn't help but shiver, lowered my head, said "yes" and trotted to the kitchen.
The young master changed his usual talkative demeanor and became really scary.
Li Tianjiao walked away from Huan'er, turned around and looked inside the room. He tore off the mosquito net on the hanging bed with one swift step, tore it into several strips of cloth with his teeth and hands, stuffed them into his arms, and walked towards one of the vases.
This vase is half as tall as her body. Because it has just been moved in, there is no water in the vase to arrange flowers.
Li Tianjiao lifted it and felt that the weight was okay.
Put the vase aside first, and open the door close to the bed for people to enter.
Pushing the stool behind another door, he blew out the candle, then stepped on the stool with the vase in his arms, and waited quietly.
After a while, Nanny Zhang came back with the poison. She saw that the room was dark, a door was open, and the person outside the door was not there.
I thought I was going in to sleep with him, so I didn't think much about it, holding a plate and calling out: "Old slave, bring medicine to the young master."
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement, only the bright moonlight cast on her back, pulling her shadow into the open door.
Grandma Zhang thought the two of them were asleep, so she stepped into the room with a plate.
But what greeted her was a hard blow.
Nanny Zhang fell to the ground with an "ouch", and the plate in her hand also hit the ground with a sound.
When Li Tianjiao saw that the person was not knocked unconscious, he quickly jumped off the stool and hit her on the head a few more times.
After hearing "Kong Kong Kong Kong" several times, Grandma Zhang finally lost her voice.
Thinking about it, the first blow was enough to make her dizzy, and she still fainted after being hit hard on the brain one after another.
Li Tianjiao's hands were shaking a little, not because she was afraid, but because these few moves had used up all her strength.
The person watching the small door would arrive soon after hearing Nanny Zhang's call. He didn't have time to rest, so he spent a lot of effort to move the person forward, just enough to open the door.
Close the open door.
The door just closed, and the boy who had been watching over her rushed in.
Seeing that the door was closed, he couldn't help but lower his voice and called out: "Young Master?"
"What's the matter?" Li Tianjiao answered in a sleepy voice, while he quickly blocked Nanny Zhang's mouth and tied her hands and feet with strips of cloth.
"The slave heard the noise and was worried, so he came in to take a look."
"Mama Zhang spilled the medicine, it's nothing to make a fuss about. Come back if you have nothing to do, I'm going to sleep."
What the boy heard was Grandma Zhang's voice, and he bowed and left without thinking deeply about the message.
Grandma Zhang was unconscious for a short while before she became conscious. However, her hands and feet were tied and her mouth was gagged. She wanted to make some noise to attract the attention of the boy outside the door.
The boy walked a few steps and came back.
No, if Aunt Zhang was here, she wouldn't turn off the lights, and it wouldn't be the young master's turn to answer him.
So the footsteps approached this direction. In the darkness, Li Tianjiao had a cold face, stretched out his hand to pull out the hairpin from Granny Zhang's head, and stood on the stool again.
"Sir, I'm coming in."
"I said I was going to sleep." Li Tianjiao kept her voice very low, fearing that the servant would hear her location clearly.
And Grandma Zhang also managed to confuse the audience with her powerful "Uh huh...".
The boy felt something was wrong and immediately pushed the door open without pushing it. He only opened one side of the door and the moonlight returned to the dark room.
The shadow pulled by the moonlight just happened to be thrown on Nanny Zhang lying on the ground.
The boy's attention was instinctively attracted by Nanny Zhang on the ground, "Nanny Zhang, what are you..."
After saying that, he stepped into the door. Li Tianjiao, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped up with all his strength, and the gold hairpin in his hand stabbed hard.
The boy only felt the air flow. Just as he turned his head for a moment, his pupils were wide open.
Nanny Zhang only had time to see clearly, the little figure flying up, holding her hairpin in her hand and piercing the young man's eyebrow.
Finally, the whole person rode on Xiaosi and landed with him.
Feeling that the hairpin was not inserted deep enough, he stood up, raised his foot and stepped hard with the sole of his shoe, submerging the entire hairpin, leaving only one bead outside.
The boy twitched a few times, but finally stopped without making any sound.
Li Tianjiao turned to look at Nanny Zhang, who was stunned by fright, and took another deep breath.
All he could do was pull the tall boy aside with difficulty.
Although the young man is tall, he is not as heavy as Aunt Zhang.
Relight the candles in the room, close the door, and move the stool back to its original position.
He returned to the bed and kicked aside the mosquito net on the floor, then slumped down on the bed in a giant shape.
"Does the host need secondary assistance?"
"No need." Li Tianjiao quickly refused.
After lying there for only a few seconds, Li Tianjiao stood up, pulled off the quilt on the bed, and spread it on the boy.
The mattress was also pulled up to Grandma Zhang. Before spreading it, she pulled out another golden hairpin from her head.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door, he thought it was Huan'er who was back.
"Sir, I only cooked a bowl of noodles."
Li Tianjiao stepped forward, opened the door on the other side, and let Huan'er in.
Huan'er felt that the smell in the room was a bit unpleasant, but he didn't think much about it. What he saw was two quilts spread on the floor, and the mosquito net was torn off. He just thought it was the character of Li Tianjiao's child.
I thought, if she dared to do this, her mother would have to whip her.
Huan'er entered the palace only half a day later than Li Tianjiao, so he didn't know that Li Tianjiao was a fake young master.
I just envy Li Tianjiao for being born into such a wealthy family.
When Li Tianjiao saw Huan'er place the tray on the table, he bent down to pick up the quilt and raised his golden hairpin to touch Huan'er's neck.
Huan'er was so frightened that his pupils shrank sharply, and he stammered: "M-Sir?!!"
Li Tianjiao sneered: "Don't call me young master, I am not the young master in this house."
