1057, Motivation
Zheng Zhiwen came back with the fan and found that Duan Wang was not in the room. He was about to put the fan away. Seeing this, Xu Shu said, "Dun Wang has gone to the study. Brother Zhiwen will give me the fan. I will hand it over to Duan Wang for you!"
Zheng Zhiwen stumbled and said, "The King Duan is probably not needed, so I'll take it back first!"
Zheng Wanying smiled and said, "Brother is so stingy. Since he agreed to give it away, why should he take it back? He is not afraid of jokes. If he can't bear to leave, he shouldn't have spoken out from the beginning! Come on!"
Zheng Wanying took the fan from Zheng Zhiwen and handed it to Xu Shu without saying a word, "Then Sister Lao Yi will hand it over to my brother!"
"Okay!" Xu Shu took the fan and saw Zheng Zhiwen's eyes falling on the fan. She couldn't help but smile, "If Brother Zhiwen really can't bear to bear it, take it back. I'll go and say go to Prince Duan!"
"No, no, no," Zheng Zhiwen waved his hand in a hurry. Seeing that Xu Shu had just put down the fan and did not open it, he hurriedly pulled Zheng Wanying up, "Sister, let's go back. We have done everything the old lady asked us to explain today!"
"What did the old lady tell you?" Xu Shu looked at the brother and sister in the West Mansion curiously. Because of the strange diseases of Chen and Zheng Zhiwen, the old lady felt that the West Mansion was very unlucky, so she didn't pay much attention to the West Mansion. Even in order to win over the power, she was still interacting with the Mr. Zheng in the West Mansion. How could she find the junior today?
Zheng Wanying said angrily, "Brother is talking nonsense! What is the old lady telling me? The old lady just mentioned it casually. Even if the old lady doesn't mention it, I will come to see Sister Yi!"
It turned out that Zheng Wanying and his sister came here today because of the old lady's orders, and Duan Wang also happened to be here today. Combined with the old lady's attitude towards her, now Duan Wang is close to her, and it is obvious that she is not willing to do so, so it is normal for him to interfere!
Xu Shu knew it in her heart, but she felt a little strange about Zheng Zhiwen's deliberate pointing out the old lady's behavior. What exactly did Zheng Zhiwen want to emphasize? Did he want to tell himself that the old lady has other plans on the matter of Duan? Is he reminding himself to stay away from Duan, is he showing kindness to himself? Or is he warning himself for the benefit of the Western Prefecture?
In a while of confusion, Zheng Wanying had been pulled away by Zheng Zhiwen, "Sister Yi, I'll leave first, I'll come to you in two days!"
Xu Shu was silent for a moment, took the fan and went to the study to find Zhou Xun. When she pushed the door, she found two people sitting in the room.
Zhou Jin is here too.
There were eyes everywhere under the emperor's feet, and Zhou Jin showed his face everywhere. It was not as convenient as before if he wanted to sneak in. Is Xu Shu who saw him the night when Zhou Jin came back, and today he appeared in broad daylight, and I couldn't help but feel curious.
"Prince Duan, this is the fan given to you by Brother Zhiwen!"
Zhou Xun took the fan and went to the side with a tactful look. He just raised his eyes from time to time to look at Xu Shu and Zhou Jin. Xu Shu happened to be caught by him. He lowered his head guiltily and opened the fan to cover his face.
"Brother Zhiwen?" Zhou Jin chewed the title and felt uncomfortable inexplicably.
Xu Shu said lightly, "The Zheng family divided into Xifu and Dongfu. Xifu and Dongfu are not ranked together. The Dongfu people are prosperous, so they are all ranked according to the rankings. Xifu has few people, so they are called directly by their names!"
Aware of Xu Shu's coldness, Zhou Jin was stunned for a moment. When he was so jealous in the past, Xu Shu would only fight back, not explain. What happened to Xu Shu today? What happened these days?
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy again?" Zhou Jin turned his head to look at Xu Shu, but Xu Shu avoided his gaze. Zhou Jin felt something was wrong with Xu Shu, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Shu suddenly frowned, sniffed hard, and looked up around, with a very serious expression.
Zhou Jin's heart also raised, "What's wrong?"
Xu Shu's eyes fell on the fan that Zhou Xun opened. When she recalled Zheng Zhiwen's particularly wrong eyes, she suddenly felt something was wrong and shouted at Zhou Xun, "Drop the fan away!"
Zhou Xun was stunned for a moment, and Xu Shu shouted again, "Don't throw it away quickly, throw it away far away!"
Seeing Xu Shu's extremely serious expression, she still did what she said and threw the fan away.
Xu Shu covered her mouth and nose with a chew, quickly stepped forward and wrapped it in paper and picked up the fan. Zhou Jin followed him and wanted to go forward. Xu Shu immediately shouted, "Don't come over!"
Zhou Jin had no choice but to stop because he had not figured out what had happened yet, so he could only look at Xu Shu with concern.
Zhou Xun asked with a confused look on his face, "What's wrong with this fan? Is there anything wrong with this fan?"
"There is a big problem!" Xu Shu threw the fan into the basin of the water aside, picked up the teapot, and found that the tea was hot, so she took a pen and poured the cold water from the washing. She soaked the fan in the water before putting down the handkerchief, and then asked someone to bring water and realgar to come in to wash Zhou Xun's hands.
Zhou Xun was still confused after washing his hands, "What's going on? He threw away the fan and asked me to wash his hands again. Could it be that the fan was poisonous?"
"You're right!" Xu Shu spoke heavily, "The cinnabar used to paint the fan is mixed with a lot of mercury! If you often hold it and play with it, you will die before this summer has passed!"
"What?" Mercury is poisonous. If you are not careful, you will kill a person. Zhou Xun was so scared that he rubbed his hands repeatedly. He had just stroked the fan and admired it!
"How did you find it?" Zhou Jin was curious. Xu Shu's hearing and smell were different from ordinary people, so she could find things that ordinary people could not find, but mercury had no smell.
"The smell and color of cinnabar mixed with mercury will be different from normal!"
"Who wants to kill me that person?" Zhou Xun couldn't remember Zheng Zhiwen's name for a moment, but when he thought that someone had used this method to assassinate him, he couldn't help but get furious, "Are you mistaken? I'm at least on your side with your Zheng family. Your Zheng family actually wants to kill me? What do you mean?"
"A Xun!" Zhou Jin shouted in a low voice, and Zhou Xun curled his lips and calmed down.
Xu Shu frowned and thought about everything from knowing Zheng Zhiwen, but she couldn't think of what the motive for Zheng Zhiwen to kill. No matter what position he had, Zheng Zhiwen had no reason to kill Zhou Xun!
But Zheng Zhiwen did this indeed. Zheng Zhiwen offered to give the fan. This shows that Zheng Zhiwen really wanted to kill Zhou Xun, but he didn't see Zhou Xun. He was unwilling to hand over the fan to himself. One reason was that he failed because he was afraid of being noticed by him. Another reason might be that he did not want to hurt the innocent, but in the end he took the risk to keep the fan, which also shows his determination to kill someone!
Did Zhou Xun offend Zheng Zhiwen?
"What did you think of?"
