Chapter 56: Incident (2)
Wang was already prepared in his heart, but his face was extremely nervous, and he ordered to ask the doctor quickly. Zhang Hou hurriedly put on his clothes and followed the Wang family to Aunt Liang's courtyard, followed by Aunt Bai and Aunt Qin. I saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, after all, it was a matter of Zixi, and Zhang Hou didn't care about Wang's three steps and two steps, and entered Aunt Liang's room. Aunt Liang was lying on the bed, her face was pale, and her hair had been wet due to the sweat of pain, and it was attached to her forehead, which looked even more distressing. Zhang Hou stepped forward and held Aunt Liang's hand and said:
"Qiao'er, what do you think?" Zhang Hou was anxious, and he didn't care about the occasion, so he only called out the two of them in private. The others didn't do anything, only Aunt Liang was so angry that her eyes were on fire when she heard it, and she secretly scolded Aunt Liang for being a fox.
"Master, the concubine's stomach hurts, can't the child be saved?" said Aunt Liang, holding her thick hand.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's nothing, the doctor will be here soon. ”
"Yes, sister, don't worry, everything will be fine. Wang comforted on his lips, but in his heart he was proud that he had finally gotten rid of this little evil seed.
I heard a report that the old lady was coming. Zhang Hou and the Wang family hurriedly greeted them, and secretly said that they didn't know who had alarmed the old lady. Saitama helped the old lady into the wing, and Zhang Hou accused Saitama of this:
"Why don't you know the depth, how can you let the old lady come out when it's cold at night?
"Don't say it, Yu'er persuaded me, I want to come by myself. What the hell is going on, I sent someone to ask if it was okay during the day, and something will happen in a while?"
"My son doesn't know yet, and I have to wait for the doctor to come. "This is a chaotic footstep outside, it turns out that the doctor is coming. Zhang Hou hurriedly walked out of the door of the wing room and followed the doctor into the main room. Seeing the old lady's serious face, Wang didn't dare to speak, and only instructed the maid to prepare two charcoal basins and put them in the wing.
"Don't be busy, I'm here to see it, not to make a mess. Since you came back, I thought that you had to take care of a large family, so I took over Aunt Liang's affairs, who knew that such a thing happened. ”
"What does this have to do with the mother, who can say for sure about this ten-month pregnancy?" the old lady tilted her head slightly, looked at Wang and said:
"But there has to be a reason why this baby is unstable. Wang was stared at in the heart, but he said
"Mother, let's not worry, let's wait for the doctor to see it first, maybe there's nothing to make a false alarm." The old lady did not speak again. The solemn atmosphere in the room was not broken until Zhang Hou's arrival. But Zhang Hou also had a gloomy face, and everyone in the room looked at him.
"The doctor said that Aunt Liang was given a lot of medicine, so there were signs of slippage. ”
"The child?" asked the old lady hurriedly.
"The doctor said that he would take the medicine first, but he is still uncertain. ”
"It doesn't seem to be very peaceful in this house. The old lady muttered.
"Mother, let's go back and rest first, my son will do it." Zhang Houquan said.
"No, this black sheep must be found out quickly, so as not to harm others again. If the child in Aunt Liang's womb has three long and two short, how can I have the face to go down to see the ancestors of the Zhang family. Zhang Hou saw that his mother was serious, and he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he ordered Aunt Liang's group of maids and Yan's mother to be brought up.
Aunt Liang has a second-class maid Luyi, two third-class maids Peach Blossom and Que'er, and two unranked little maids Xi'er and Chun'er. The room was originally not large, and these few people were filled at once.
The old lady cleared her throat and asked Mother Yan first:
"What did Aunt Liang eat all day today. ”
"Aunt Liang got up early and ate a bowl of fetal medicine and a bowl of bird's nest porridge, with some snacks in the middle, and a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, a small half bowl of rice and some vegetarian dishes at noon. In the evening, my aunt said that she wanted to eat small wontons, so she ate a bowl. About an hour after the meal, I drank the fetal pill again. The old lady listened and nodded,
"Are these things made in the small kitchen or in the big kitchen?"
"The medicine and the small wontons are all made in the small kitchen, and the others are in the big kitchen. At this time, the maid outside replied that the eldest lady came, and Liu walked in quickly.
"Okay, what's going on?" asked when Liu came in, and Zhang Hou hurriedly stood up and said:
"There is a sister-in-law Lao, and she still runs so late. ”
"It's good for her to come, if there's something going on in the big kitchen, she can get out of it. The old lady said.
"That's what Mother said. Liu knew that the old lady was not accusing herself, but just showing an attitude of treating everyone equally, and then said.
"Mother Shao, take someone to the big kitchen to see if there is anything suspicious. "The old lady ordered her companion, and this was one of the people the old lady trusted the most. Shao's mother promised to take someone down.
"Who gave Aunt Liang the medicine today?"
"Back to the old lady, it's Xi'er. Yan's mother replied.
"Xi'er, are you guilty?"
"Come back, wife, the slave and maid are just decoctions and have done nothing. Xi'er cried and kowtowed.
"Old lady, today the old slave dozed off when she saw Xi'er decocting the medicine, reprimanded her a few words, and fined her three months' money. Yan's mother said. When everyone heard that this Xi'er was the most suspicious, they all looked at the old lady, but the old lady was silent, as if she was thinking about something.
"If you don't tell the truth, I'll send you to see the official. Wang said with added fuel to the fire.
"In this case, what is there to talk nonsense, just take my post and send it to the yamen. Zhang Hou said impatiently. When Xi'er heard this, she kowtowed like pounding garlic, and after a while, blood oozed from her forehead, and she said that she was wronged.
This is Saitama gently attached to the old lady's ear and said a few words, the old lady nodded and said:
"Don't be busy first, whether it's her or not, it's not necessarily, don't get caught an innocent person, but let the real murderer go. After speaking, he glanced at the Wang family intentionally or unintentionally, and asked Yan's mother again:
"When did you scold her?"
"After dinner, I went to the small kitchen in the courtyard to see if my aunt's medicine was ready. The old woman smiled slightly,
"Pearl, you go and ask the janitor, has that Xi'er been out tonight?" Not long after, the old lady's personal maid Hongxuan came back to report, saying that the doorkeeper's mother-in-law had not seen Xi'er go out at night.
"In such a short period of time, she was able to put the medicine in, either with her or someone gave it to her. Go and search her house. The old lady commanded Pearl. At this time, Shao's mother came in and said that there was nothing suspicious in the big kitchen, and some of the food and drink for each master were divided out and left there, which had been prepared for inspection, and the doctor had been asked to see it, and there was no problem.
The old lady was a little puzzled, looked at Liu, and Liu stepped forward and replied:
"The daughter-in-law was afraid that those people would not do things carefully, so she specially ordered that everything presented to each master should be left behind, and the label should be placed on the table, indicating the materials and who did it, so as to prevent problems and they shirk each other. The old lady nodded approvingly.
"That's where the problem is in the kitchen. Mother Shao, took the wonton and medicine residue for the doctor to see. ”
