Chapter 46: Death
Shen Fengxu sent Shen Yumin to Xiangmei Courtyard.
Before entering the courtyard, she saw Granny Xu hurriedly come out to look for Shen Yumin, and after seeing Shen Yumin, Fang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Seventh girl, you're going to die in a hurry. Granny Xu wiped the sweat from her head, "The old slave has searched all over the Xiangmei Courtyard, if he can't find the girl again, the old slave should apologize for his crimes." ”
"It's okay, I've already brought Min'er back. Shen Fengsu held Shen Yumin with one hand and smiled.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the expression on Granny Xu's face change suddenly.
Shen Fengxu subconsciously felt bad, and was just about to reach out to block Shen Yumin's eyes, when he saw that Granny Xu had already vomited out a mouthful of blood.
A large patch of blood stained Granny Xu's clothes, and she stumbled a few steps before falling to the ground.
"Nurse ——!" Shen Yumin's face turned pale for a moment, and she stepped forward to hug Granny Xu, but was stopped by Shen Fengxu.
"Min'er, don't go, she seems to have been poisoned!" Shen Fengsu hurriedly pulled Shen Yumin over, thought about it for a while, and said very calmly, "Dansha, go and invite the doctor." ”
Dansha didn't dare to delay and left quickly.
And Granny Xu was already on the ground, opening her mouth as if she was about to say something, but only a few incoherent syllables spit out from her throat, very hoarse and ugly.
She gulped out blood, her lips flushed purple, her face flushed with ruddyness, and she waved her hands weakly, as if trying to grasp something, but in the end she couldn't grasp anything.
I struggled desperately, but I couldn't even make a sound.
The scene in front of him was too shocking for Shen Yumin, so Shen Fengsu held Shen Yumin in his arms, gently held Shen Yumin's cold hand, and comforted: "Min'er, don't be afraid, the sixth sister is still here." ”
Shen Yumin has lived alone in Xiangmei Courtyard since she was a child, even her biological mother, Aunt Su, does not often have the opportunity to visit her, she has always been surrounded by Granny Xu, and she is even more affectionate to Granny Xu than Aunt Su.
How can we see such a scene now?
But she still kept looking at Granny Xu, her black and white eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of her in disbelief, her body was trembling all the time, and even her fingertips were trembling.
Granny Xu is still struggling.
It's just that the movements have gradually slowed down, and it seems that there is no strength.
Until the end, Granny Xu collapsed to the ground, no longer breathing.
It should be dead......
Just now, Mrs. Xu hurried out, from vomiting blood to dying violently, it was just a momentary thing.
Shen Yumin didn't cry, just looked at everything that happened in front of her in a daze, there was no color in her pupils, she only looked at Granny Xu's stiff body, but she didn't make any sound.
Shen Fengxu hugged her: "Min'er, don't be afraid ......"
Soon, the doctor came, but Mrs. Xu was already dead.
Granny Xu's body collapsed in front of the courtyard gate.
"I want to know the cause of her death!" Shen Fengxu's face condensed, like an ice flower blooming, revealing an endless chill, which made people retreat.
Grandma Xu's death overlapped with the death of the Queen Mother in her memory.
In her previous life, Shen Fengxu was still the princess of King Ning, and the moment she stepped into the queen mother's bedroom, she saw the queen mother vomiting blood and dying violently, and her death was exactly the same as that of Granny Xu in front of her, without any change!
Why?!
Granny Xu's death was so miserable, the doctor couldn't help frowning, but she still stepped forward to check as she said.
Shen Fengxu looked at it coldly.
After a while, the doctor said in embarrassment: "Girl, I am really not good at learning, she should have been poisoned, but I can't tell what it is, and I ask the girl to let other doctors with excellent medical skills come." ”
"That's it......" Shen Fengxu shook his head and said to Dansha, "Report this matter to your father and second uncle." ”
She said that, hugged Shen Yumin, and said softly: "Min'er lives with me tonight, okay?"
Shen Yumin didn't answer, although she was held in her arms by Shen Fengsu, her eyes still fell on Granny Xu's body, she couldn't move away for a long time, and her pupils lost all luster, like stagnant water.
The nurse next to her died suddenly, and in such a miserable way, Shen Yumin would definitely have nightmares at night.
As for the cause of Granny Xu's death-
In the previous life, the Queen Mother also died because of this, and there were countless imperial doctors in the palace at that time, but no one could tell the cause of the Queen Mother's death, let alone these market doctors, so Shen Fengxu did not hold out hope.
It's just that Grandma Xu's death cast a shadow on Shen Fengxu's heart.
Shen Fengsu reported the matter to the old lady, saying that because of the death of Grandma Xu, Shen Yumin was frightened, and wanted Shen Yumin to move to her own yard for a few months, and it was not a big deal, and the old lady had no reason not to agree, so Shen Fengsu moved Shen Yumin's things to the snowmelt courtyard.
And after Shen Yanning heard about this, he didn't react much, but just ordered someone to drag out Granny Xu's body and bury it, so as not to get bad luck and affect Aunt Zhao, who was pregnant.
Granny Xu's death is really not worth mentioning.
After settling Shen Yumin, Shen Fengxu said to Dansha: "You go out tomorrow to inquire, is there anyone else in Grandma Xu's family, and has you ever had a grudge with anyone recently." ”
"Yes, the servant understands. ”
The next day, Dansha went out to inquire about the news, she has always acted resolutely, but she hurried back in half a day.
And Aunt Su was very worried about Shen Yumin, so she was also in the snowmelt courtyard at the moment, hugging Shen Yumin, gently comforting her.
"Girl, I heard that Mrs. Xu also has a daughter outside, who is an embroidery girl in an embroidery workshop, but the girl is now dead. ”
"Already dead?, how did you die?" Shen Feng frowned.
Dansha shook his head: "The maid listened to those embroidery girls, I heard that she suddenly vomited blood and died while weaving, and then she was dragged to be buried, and they didn't reveal much else." ”
When Shen Fengxu heard this, he exhaled lightly: "Vomited blood and died...... Didn't you say that the cause of death was the same as that of Granny Xu?"
Speaking of this, Aunt Su also raised her head and said, "The concubine also heard one thing, there seems to be a cook in Dingxiang Mansion who also died, and it is also such a way to die." ”
In his previous life, Shen Yumin was sent to the Beijing Central Courtyard early, and Shen Fengsu had never heard of anything like this, probably because the deceased were all inconsequential little people, and never entered the eyes of these people, and in this life, Shen Fengxu had to care.
First, it was because of Shen Yumin, and secondly, the cause of death of these people was exactly the same as the death of the Queen Mother in the previous life, how could Shen Fengsu not care?
The reason why Shen Fengxu died in prison in vain was because of the death of the Queen Mother.
So she had to find out thoroughly.
"Dansha, you can inquire about this cook again. ”
Dansha nodded: "Yes." ”
At this moment, there was a babbling opera singing voice faintly coming from outside the courtyard.
