Charm King Poison Queen

  Chapter 733 The poisoned queen is beyond redemption (1)

  In the dining hall of Sikong Mansion, a family sat around a table and started dinner.

   Patriarch Sikong and Liu Wanyu are at the table, starting from Liu Wanyu's right hand side, followed by eldest daughter Sikong Lin, second daughter Sikong Jing, third son Sikong Xu and second son Sikong Cheng, next to Sikong Cheng is Patriarch Sikong. The two daughters-in-law should set the rules and stand aside to serve them meals.

  Today’s dinner is southern dishes, with hairy crabs and all the dishes I had at the Xuanjia banquet last night.

  But for some reason, except Patriarch Sikong and Sikong Lin, the rest of the people are a little bit clueless.

  Obviously the same ingredients and the same cuisine, but the taste is not as good as Xuanjia's.

  For example, Si Kongjing ate five of these hairy crabs in a row last night, but right now, she couldn't swallow any of them, the fishy smell was too strong.

  Si Kongjing threw the hairy crab aside: "It's unpalatable!"

   Patriarch Sikong glared at her: "Didn't you argue about eating hairy crabs?"

  Si Kongjing stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon: "I... I just said casually, I don't like crabs anymore." She will never admit that the hairy crabs at home are not tasty at all!

"Don't like it? I don't know who ate five of them in a disgraceful manner last night, and even snatched the pregnant woman's share!" The one who mocked Si Kongjing was Sikongjing's sister, Sikong Lin, who was engaged to Zhao Qi. For some time she had been waiting to get married in her boudoir, even when Sikong's family held a banquet, she did not come out to entertain the guests. But the joke last night was too big, even if she didn't come to the scene in person, she also imagined Sikong Jing's embarrassment under the vivid description of the maids. As Sikong Jing's older sister, she is really ashamed!

Sikong Jing's spoon fell heavily into the soup, splashing a few drops of soup. Patriarch Sikong frowned, and was about to reprimand him, but Sikongjing spoke first: "Who stole it? Obviously Sun Yao gave it to me! I Eating her food is to give her face! Unlike you, I pretend to be noble all day long, as if I am a princess, how worthy of the stage! In fact, I am more stingy than anyone else! I will ask you for flowers and flowers No! Lie and say I’m gone, shameless!”

   "When did I lie and say that my Pearl Flower is gone? Don't spit on people!" Sikong Lin yelled back in a low voice!

   "Enough!" Patriarch Sikong sternly stopped the two of them, his cold eyes swept away, and said, "Don't stop eating, if you make any noise, get out!"

  The two fell silent.

  In the past, Liu Wanyu would have stood up to smooth things over for her daughters, so that her husband would not be too angry with her daughters, but tonight, she just touched her neck and hesitated to speak.

   Everyone buried their heads in their meals, and the hall fell silent for an instant, which was a little strangely quiet.

  Sikong Xu glanced at everyone, laughed dryly, and said, "Mother, you look good today, is there any happy event?"

  After he said this, everyone looked at Liu Wanyu one after another, and saw that her complexion was ruddy and her eyes were clear. She was indeed more energetic than usual, and she couldn't help showing a look of confusion and expectation.

  Liu Wanyu opened her mouth, for a moment, she didn't know how to answer the bastard's question. Being praised by the concubine for her good complexion, she was certainly happy, but the reason for her good complexion was a little hard to explain—

   "I..." She smiled, "I negotiated a deal today!"

   It was a thousand taels cheaper, but it was delayed until the end of next month, and then the saved one thousand taels was inexplicably spent half of the tea money... No matter how I think about it, I feel that this business negotiation is very bad. But besides this, does she have any other reason to talk?

  Sikong Xu then asked: "What business is mother talking about? You are so happy, it should be quite big, right?"
