Chapter 125: Toxic Herbs
Song Qingci went straight back to the guest house where Xiao Yuer lived.
There was originally a maid assigned to the guest house to help with some chores, but Li declined.
Living in the general's mansion is already a great favor, I can't cause any more trouble.
Besides, Li was a person who was used to doing things. She had been dependent on Xiao Yuer for so many years, so she didn't need someone to serve her specially.
The entire guest house was only occupied by Li and Xiao Yu'er, and someone would bring food and sundries to them every day. In addition, because of Shan Yu's previous attack on Xiao Yu'er, she arranged a guard outside the courtyard to protect the safety of the mother and son.
The guards usually stay outside the yard and will not enter the yard without orders.
Song Qingci sent away the guards outside the yard, and then walked back to the place where Xiao Yuer had just looked at the earthworms.
She broke off a bamboo from the wall and began to search for something on the ground.
The focus is on some corners that are usually not noticed.
Sure enough, a place with signs of tampering was found at the base of the wall near the window of the house.
Although it has been covered up artificially, if you look closely, you can still find signs that the soil has been turned over.
Just in case, Song Qingci took out disposable gloves from the space.
After putting it on, she began to use a small engineering shovel to turn over the abnormal area.
Sure enough, after just two shovelfuls of digging, I dug something out.
A small cloth bag that was wrapped very simply.
The cloth was buried very shallowly and the covering soil was not very solid.
Song Qingci did not touch it with his hands. He only used the engineer shovel to touch the small cloth bag throughout the process.
The cloth was cut open by the sharp side of the engineer shovel, revealing balls the size of marshmallows.
Although, I don’t know what it is, but I know it’s definitely not a good thing.
Song Qingci took out two more petri dishes, put the things in them, and then sent them into the detector in the space for testing.
She restored everything to its original state, even the bamboo that she had broken was planted back into the ground.
After doing all this, she went straight back to Chixiaoyuan.
When she got back, it was time for dinner.
The small kitchen in Chixiao Courtyard is always stocked with meals and snacks. After all, one of Song Qingci's biggest hobbies is eating.
"Aunt, have some food." Xiao Yuer waved at Song Qingci, his eyes switching back and forth between the food and Song Qingci.
It seemed to be saying, come quickly, or I will finish my meal.
Song Qingci looked like he was not affected by what happened before. He smiled and sat down next to Xiao Yuer, accompanying him to finish the meal happily.
Yinling hasn’t made any new snacks recently, so the one served in the end was walnut cakes.
After dinner, Song Qingci did not let them go back. Instead, he took out a sandbag that Yinping had made earlier and took Xiaoyuer to play in the yard.
Children's energy is really high. Song Qingci felt a little tired before Xiaoyuer's energy was exhausted.
Yinping followed the instructions and let Xiaoyuer and Li sleep in Chixiao Courtyard tonight.
At this time, Song Qingci finally had some free time. She told Yin Xing, "I will go to the study room later. You stay here."
''yes.''
Yin Xing knew that her young mistress always went to the study to do something, so she didn't say that she had to follow her. Instead, she asked, "Do you need to prepare a midnight snack?"
Song Qingci thought for a moment and said, "Let's prepare it."
I don’t know what time I’ll get up tonight, so I can prepare some midnight snacks so that if I get hungry, I’ll have something to eat at any time.
"Okay, I'll go talk to Yin Ling."
Song Qingci saw Yin Xing walking away, and his mind was dazed for a moment. Is this girl so easy to talk to now? !
