Chapter 13: Slander
Hearing this, Shen Yuxiang seemed to be unsure, so she asked, "......What does the doctor mean?"
Dr. Li groaned and asked, "Has the girl often felt uneasy lately, and has she often felt bored?"
Shen Yuxiang nodded slightly, half-leaning on the cushion behind her, quite tired.
"The girl should have eaten Xihe willow by mistake, this substance is cold, pungent in taste, and overdose will cause upset and restlessness. Dr. Li said, "But it's not a big deal, as long as you don't take it in the future, you can recover after just a few days of recuperation." ”
West River Willow ......
Dansha, who was standing behind Shen Fengxu, couldn't help but be stunned, Shen Yumin was seriously ill that day, and it was Dansha who went out to grab medicine in person, she remembered it clearly, and there was no doubt that one of the medicinal materials was Xihe willow.
The eldest lady's brows were deeply twisted, and she glanced at Shen Yuxiang, who seemed to have a complicated expression, but she never spoke.
Suddenly, Caizhi, the maid beside Shen Yuxiang, stepped forward and knelt down: "Madam, the girl is not eating by mistake, someone is trying to harm our girl!"
In a word, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"In front of the old lady, how can you talk so nonsense?!" the eldest lady immediately rebuked coldly.
Caizhi was still kneeling, and said loudly: "The maid naturally doesn't dare to talk nonsense, it's the sixth girl who wants to harm our girl!"
As the words fell, for a while, there was silence in Yunsong Courtyard, and the scene suddenly became cold, and no one spoke.
A bird landed on a branch in the middle of the courtyard, stayed for a moment, and then flew away in a hurry.
Only the old lady looked flat, and only said, "Doctor Li, let's go back first." ”
Dr. Li knew that there was no benefit in participating in it, and he was used to seeing the intrigue in the backyard, so he hurriedly picked up the medicine box and left Yunsong Courtyard quickly.
Everyone in the room had different expressions, but only the person concerned, Shen Fengxu's expression was as calm as water, as if he had never heard Caizhi's words at all.
Seeing Dr. Li leaving, the eldest lady spoke coldly and looked at Caizhi: "Slandering the master is a capital crime, have you thought clearly?"
Caizhi raised her voice: "What the maid said is true! The six girls have been going out to grab medicine in the courtyard recently, and there is a medicinal herb called Xihe willow, and the maid does not dare to lie, and this matter can be known just by asking." ”
Seeing Caizhi's words, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Fengxu.
The eldest lady asked, "Fengfu, what do you say?"
Shen Fengxu raised his eyebrows as if he was a little puzzled, and asked Xiang Caizhi instead: "You are the servant of the fourth sister, and you are not the maid in my yard, how can you know my movements?"
Caizhi choked at first, and then said: "The maid has always been friendly with Cai Lian in the Snow Melting Courtyard, and it was Cai Lian who told me. ”
"Since Cailian said, then let Cailian come over first. Shen Feng nodded suddenly, and then turned his head to look at Dansha, "You go and call the lotus picker." ”
Dansha did not delay and left.
Shen Yuxiang leaned on the cushion, looking delicate and weak, and she said pitifully: "Why did the sixth sister harm me like this?"
"The fourth sister should not believe the slander of the servant. Shen Fengxu shook his head slightly, "Let's wait for Cailian to come over first." ”
The old lady only fiddled with the Buddha beads in her hand, her face was a little cold, and her eyes wandered between Shen Yuxiang and Shen Fengxu, and finally fixed on Shen Fengxu.
It's just that Shen Fengxu has always been as calm as water, and he can't see any emotion.
There are birds and insects chirping in the courtyard one after another, noisy people are restless.
But in a moment, Dansha walked in with Cailian and Cinnabar.
"Girl, the servant has brought the man. Dansha said, turned her head to look at Cailian, gritted her teeth and said in annoyance, "You still don't make it clear, if there is another half of the wrong word, the girl will definitely send you down!"
Cai Lian seemed to be frightened, a little timid, and only said: "The maid has served the girl for a long time, and has always been loyal to the girl, and has no other intentions, but now in front of the masters, the maid naturally does not dare to have a lie." ”
Seeing Cailian's behavior like this, Dansha became more and more annoyed, she raised her eyebrows, and scolded: "You eat things inside and outside! What are you pretending to be innocent here!"
The eldest lady slapped the table: "Presumptuous! In the Yunsong Courtyard, how can you be so noisy?"
Dansha has always been bold, even if she was reprimanded by the eldest lady, she was not afraid, she just knelt down, but still said: "Even if Cailian is the person sent by the eldest lady, but now she is also a girl in the snowmelt courtyard, she has ill intentions towards the sixth girl, and she must not indulge her!"
"Is it because Cailian once served the eldest lady?" On the side, Caizhi pointed meaningfully, "It seems that Cailian must have been subjected to a lot of harsh criticism in the Snow Melting Courtyard these days." ”
"You-" Dansha gas pole.
Cai Lian lowered her head, looking more and more thin, pitiful and helpless.
On the contrary, Dansha was noisy in Yunsong Courtyard, so fierce and spicy, people couldn't help but think, if this is still the case in front of people, then in private, how much should Cailian be treated by Dansha?
Therefore, everyone has some pity for lotus picking.
It's a lot of fun.
Shen Fengxu was not in a hurry to speak, but sat upright, smiling lightly, as if everything that happened now had nothing to do with her, she was just a bystander.
Shen Yuxiang snorted in a low voice, and when the eldest lady heard the sound, she stepped forward and took Shen Yuxiang into her arms distressedly.
"Cailian, is the sixth sister really using Xihe Willow to harm me?" Shen Yuxiang leaned on the arms of the eldest lady and asked weakly.
Cai Lian bit her lip and said: "Yes, the maid has seen it with her own eyes, these days, Sister Dansha often goes out to grab medicine, the maid is still a little strange, the girl is not sick or harmful, what kind of medicine can she go out to grab in a good way, not to mention that there is a doctor in the house, why go out?"
The eldest lady's sharp gaze swept over and said, "Fengxu, mother knows that you have some misunderstanding with Yuxiang, but why poison her? She is your sister after all!"
"Does the mother condemn her daughter?" Shen Fengxu just smiled gently and said calmly, "Mother, it's just a servant's words, I can't believe it." ”
"My sister left early, and I have always treated you as my own daughter, but I can't cover you up today. The eldest lady sighed deeply and said, "If you have anything else to say, say it now." ”
Such a situation is obviously very unfavorable to Shen Fengxu.
Dansha's face turned red in a hurry, and he only looked at Shen Fengxu, hoping that she could argue a few words.
Shen Fengxu only turned his head to look at Cai Lian and asked, "The purse I ordered you to embroider before, but is the embroidery finished?"
Not only Cai Lian, but everyone else was stunned, in this situation, Shen Fengxu still had the leisure to ask some irrelevant things? Is it ignorance and fearlessness, or has he accepted his fate and not struggled?
"Also...... No. Cai Lian whispered, "The maid is clumsy, and she also asks the girl to give her a few days." ”
