Chapter 614: Interrogating Mrs. Wang
The place of Lijiaxi Mansion is small, and the Yahe Garden, where the big house lives, and the Jinrong Garden, where the second room lives, are almost next to each other.
Originally, after the first month of the first month, Li Guangshu should have made arrangements, but in time for Jiang Tang's death, the high-ranking officials of the Ministry did not dare to show their faces in front of Emperor Ming Kang, so the matter was suppressed.
Li Guangshu was anxious, and ran outside all day long, and did not enter the house until dark.
This is what makes it easier for Liu to act.
The warm pavilion in the main courtyard of Jinrong Yuan was withdrawn, because there was no window, and the airtight indoor light was dim and warm.
Mrs. Wang walked in with her head down, and the smell of medicine in the room made her unconsciously slow down, and her expression gradually became a little hesitant.
The smell of this medicine was all too familiar to her, and it was the same as the smell that permeated her house all year round.
"Ahem—" A cough came.
Mrs. Wang subconsciously raised her eyes, and saw the second wife Liu lying on the kang with a sallow face, her head wrapped around her forehead, and her scattered hair looked messy.
Mrs. Wang was taken aback.
In the past, this second wife was shrewd and capable in their impressions, much stronger than the eldest lady of Yahe Yuan, why did it happen in a blink of an eye?
"I've seen the second wife. Mrs. Wang suppressed her uneasiness and saluted.
"Sit down. Liu said weakly.
Mrs. Wang glanced at Xiao Zizi with a cramped expression.
"Don't be nervous, I asked Mother Wang to come over and ask casually, cough-cough-"
As soon as Liu coughed, Mrs. Wang felt worried, which made her can't help but think of the sound of sleeping in countless nights.
"Mother Wang, you have been serving Aunt Bing for a while, can you tell me what that aunt likes to do on weekdays?"
"Aunt Bing likes to read books on weekdays, and sometimes she plays the piano......"
"In this way, reading and playing the piano, no wonder the master is willing to go. Unlike me here, I am busy with things at home and outside the house all day long, I have to take care of my lord's daily life, and I have to worry about the children's situation......" Liu couldn't go on, and covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed violently.
"Second wife-" Mrs. Wang grabbed the corner of her clothes with her hand, at a loss.
Liu took the handkerchief away, and Mrs. Wang's eyes saw a touch of red.
She knew so well what it meant that she turned white in horror.
The sound of gentle footsteps came, and Mrs. Wang subconsciously turned her head, and saw a girl with a double bun walking with a medicine bowl.
The girl lowered her eyebrows, and the expression on her face could not be seen in the dim light, and if it was, it caused the princess to try to open her eyes wide and look again and again.
Why didn't she recognize it for a while?
It seems to be four girls, and it seems to be three girls.
The girl walked past the princess, and the strong smell of medicine went straight into the nostrils of the princess.
When Mrs. Wang smelled this smell, she felt more familiar.
The girl's soft voice sounded: "You drink the medicine, there is ginseng in it, it is the most effective for your current illness......"
Mrs. Wang listened in a daze, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.
At this moment, the girl suddenly turned to look at her, and her lacquer-like eyes shimmered like a pool, as if it could attract people's souls.
"The body of a person who is sick in bed all the year round is weak, just like this oil lamp, the lamp oil gradually dries, and the fire gradually decreases, and the day will come when it will be extinguished......
Only then did Mrs. Wang notice that there was an oil lamp not far from her, and it was with this oil lamp that the dark room became dim.
As she watched, the light of the oil lamp jumped and jumped.
Mrs. Wang's gaze gradually became dull.
Liu watched coldly, opened his mouth wide in surprise, but he didn't dare to make a sound to disturb Wang Pozi and Qiao Zhao.
Qiao Zhao suddenly glanced at Liu.
Liu Shi kept Qiao Zhao's advice in mind and coughed with his mouth.
She coughed very lightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress it, not only did not alert the princess, but her expression became even more dazed.
"If the lamp oil is to be boiled dry, it is necessary to add lamp oil, and the same is true for the sick and weak, at this time, if you can eat ginseng for a while, you can replenish a lot of vitality. Mother Wang, are you right?"
Mrs. Wang nodded, her voice flat: "Yes." ”
"And where did the ginseng come from?" the girl asked, softer, with deep concern.
"yes, where did you come from?" repeated Mrs. Wang.
"You can only buy it with money. ”
Mrs. Wang nodded: "Yes, you have to buy it with money." ”
"But you are just a servant woman, and the men in the family take medicine all year round, so how can you have any money to buy ginseng?"
"There is no money to spare, there is no money to spare,...... "Mrs. Wang's face showed anxiety.
"Then tell me, who gave you the money to buy ginseng?" asked the girl in a casual tone.
"Yes......" A hint of struggle flashed on Mrs. Wang's face.
Liu didn't dare to come out, and grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands.
"Who is it?" the girl asked softly, not in a hurry.
"It's the second master!" said Mrs. Wang in one breath.
With a bang, Liu knocked over the medicine bowl.
The medicinal juice was splashed on the ground, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance, and Mrs. Wang instantly sobered up, her eyes faded blankly, and she regained her clarity.
Qiao Zhao sighed in his heart.
Although she told her second aunt not to make disturbing sounds, there would still be uncontrollable accidents.
For the second aunt, even if she was suspicious of Bingniang's pregnancy, she didn't have a glimmer of hope in her heart, and when she heard that the second uncle was involved, how could she be indifferent.
"Three girls—" Liu looked annoyed.
Qiao Zhao nodded at her comfortingly, turned to look at Mrs. Wang, and said coldly: "Mother Wang, just now you said that the money to buy ginseng was given by the second master, why did he give you this money?"
"I, did I say it?" said the princess, with a look of surprise.
Qiao Zhao raised his chin slightly, and his tone was cold: "The money that the second master gave you to buy ginseng is to make you turn a blind eye to Aunt Bing's refusal to drink the avoidance soup, isn't it?"
Mrs. Wang took a step back and denied in a panic: "No, no-"
"You just admitted it, the second wife heard it with her own ears!" Qiao Zhao pointed at the Liu family, "Mother Wang, take a closer look, what has become of the second wife now?
"I-" Mrs. Wang glanced at Liu, her eyes flickering.
Qiao Zhao didn't give her a chance to breathe, and continued: "Only by accumulating virtue and doing good deeds can you be blessed, Mother Wang, if you do this, you will be rewarded for the people you care about——"
"I said, I said!" Wang Pozi interrupted Qiao Zhao's words with a panicked expression, and sat down on the ground to hide her face and cry bitterly, "The money was indeed given by the second master, so that we could teach Aunt Bing to cover up the matter of not drinking the soup for Aunt Bing...... Second wife, you can punish the old slave as much as you want, just don't drive the old slave out, the old slave still expects the monthly money to buy medicine for the one in the family......"
As soon as he heard Mrs. Wang admit it, Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and when he sent Mrs. Wang away, he stroked his heart and said fearfully: "I almost collapsed, and I was scared to death." ”
Seeing Qiao Zhao's calm expression, Liu grabbed her hand: "Third girl, this, what's going on?"
