Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Miracle Was Seen
"Doctor Cui, what did you say? How can it not be poisonous? Are you mistaken? Situ Chan didn't care about any image at this time, and stepped forward directly to ask Dr. Cui. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dr. Cui was a little annoyed by her appearance, but after all, she was used to seeing high-ranking officials and nobles, and she still had to take care of the face.
Therefore, he didn't have a superfluous expression, just straightened his expression and said: "Where did Mrs. Chen say, the old man has been practicing medicine for more than 30 years, how can he not even detect this little residual poison?" What's more, the old man also specially tested it one more time just now. ”
After Dr. Cui finished speaking, he stroked his beard again, and then began to popularize science: "Although this poison called Hanshi grass is not strong and not common, but with the old man's decades of experience, the old man is confident that he can still distinguish whether he has this poison and the size of the toxicity." ”
Everyone in Linzhou City knows the temper of this famous doctor, and he is the most patient and kind on weekdays, but if anyone wants to question his professional level, then his stubbornness will come up.
Seeing that Dr. Cui was stubborn, Situ Chan felt that there was no possibility of changing the problem of toxicity. But she couldn't react for a while, this old thing has obviously been poisoned, why can't it be tested in the chicken soup?
"Are you sure this chicken soup is what she's left over for today? Didn't get swapped? As soon as she was excited, she couldn't help but blurt out this sentence in her mouth. But one person was not very happy to hear it.
"Chan'er, I just sent the most powerful person around me, and you don't even trust your aunt?" Old Madam Lu was quite strange and dissatisfied with her appearance as if she would not give up if she did not convict Yuan Xiyue.
Situ Chan naturally didn't dare to doubt Old Madam Lu, let alone blatantly question it, so when she heard her say this, she regretted that she had just been too impulsive.
"Mrs. Chen, the flavor of the chicken soup cooked by our eldest lady is very special, which can be testified by the whole house, and she also said just now that she never pretends to others when she boils chicken soup, how can others make the same fragrance?" Yun Xiang's words were just right, Situ Chan's face turned blue and white for a while when she heard this, and she just wanted to clean up this cheap maid who dared to interject, but she didn't expect another sentence to come like a cannon.
"Auntie, in fact, there is a certain amount of leftover chicken soup every day, besides, is it possible that Xiyue can still be unpredictable, and calculate that my aunt will take chicken soup to me today to ask for guilt?" As soon as Yuan Xiyue said this, everyone could no longer find a reason to question the source of the chicken soup, but they all felt that Situ Chan's performance just now was a little too excited, and some of them began to doubt her motives.
"Fortunately, Dr. Cui's medical skills are clever, and he has given Xiyue a fair hand. As Xi Yue said just now, I never fake other people's when I make chicken soup, so as long as there is no problem in the chicken soup, will Xi Yue be able to clear the suspicion? ”
Yuan Xiyue's words were said to Mrs. Lu, she is currently standing in a relatively fair and authoritative position, the evidence has been clearly laid out, as long as she speaks, then Yuan Xiyue's suspicion will naturally be cleared.
Originally, she was a guest invited by Situ Juan's mother and daughter, and it was very likely that she would be understood as a group of them, but because she was an invited guest, Yuan Xiyue felt that the purpose of Sister Situ Juan's invitation to her was to let her be an objective and authoritative witness, so that Yuan Xiyue could be defeated logically. But they didn't expect that this kind of objectivity and fairness would now be used by Yuan Xiyue.
Mrs. Lu's mood when she saw this scene today was also quite complicated, she felt that there seemed to be a lot of things that she hadn't figured out, probably because she was old, and she still needed to sort it out slowly afterwards. However, the child's suspicion has been completely cleared.
"That's natural, we all heard it just now, this chicken soup has always been cooked by you and served to your grandmother by hand, so it can be seen that as long as there is no problem with the chicken soup, then you naturally have no suspicion."
"Auntie, how can you ......" Situ Chan suddenly felt a sense of discouragement, and then a strong uneasiness rose in her heart, and only then did she react and say the wrong thing again. Situ Juan saw that Mrs. Lu's face was already obviously uncertain, so she hurriedly came over and helped Situ Chan up, shook her head and reminded her not to say any more.
The housekeeper mother beside Mrs. Lu has been looking at this matter with an attitude of indifference today, and now when they heard what the old lady said, they reacted, why did the eldest lady say to herself a moment ago that the chicken soup was made by her own hands the whole time.
At that time, everyone thought that she was dying, and she stupidly increased her suspicions, but now it seems that this young Miss Yuan is really not simple, the more she ties her relationship with chicken soup, as long as it is proved that chicken soup is okay, then the more she can clear her suspicion. However, how did this old lady get poisoned?
Yuan Xiyue did not disappoint the visitors, as soon as she heard Mrs. Lu's words, she immediately proposed to track down the real murderer.
"Now that Xiyue's suspicion has been cleared, it's time to find out the real person who poisoned it, then since the chicken soup is okay, Dr. Cui said that the poison is related to grandmother's diet and daily life, then the biggest suspicion is probably the person who has been around grandmother since then, aunt, what do you say?"
Situ Chan didn't expect Yuan Xiyue to suddenly ask her such a question, she was still immersed in the frustration just now and didn't come back to her senses, and after reacting, she also spit out a breath of turbidity and tilted her head slightly to the side. But this is the default in the eyes of everyone.
As a result, all corners of the old lady's courtyard were searched again, especially the corners and corners of several subordinate rooms. The people who searched were also composed of Yuan Xiyue, Mrs. Lu, and Situ Juan.
It didn't take long for a packet of medicinal powder to be found from Hui'er's room, and after Dr. Cui's identification, it was undoubtedly cold grass, and there were many opportunities for her to be poisoned.
"You, I almost wronged Xiyue, you say, why do you want to be so vicious, first poisoned the old lady, and then made up lies to frame the eldest lady." Situ Juan said fiercely to Hui'er, who was begging for mercy and sobbing loudly.
Due to the fierce confrontation in the first half, her sister had already shown a clear decline, so she automatically took over in the second half.
"Slave maid...... The slave and the maid did not know, and the slave and the maid did not ...... Beg Mrs. to spare her life...... "Hui'er was stunned by a series of changes at this time, obviously the poison of the grass in the cold was put into the eldest lady's chicken soup while she was unprepared, but now the poison actually said that it was gone, and she refused to be able to give it to her at other times." She wanted to argue with this, but before she could say anything, she realized that this was not a self-confession?
The key is that he stood up early in the morning to correct the eldest lady, and the poison was also searched, and now he can't tell a hundred mouths if he wants to deny it. Only kowtow like pounding garlic, hoping that Madame would save her life for their sake in a boat.
"Why are there so many people in my house today? It's really noisy. ”
Hui'er was crying and grabbing the ground here, and everyone was taken aback by this sentence.
The old lady who had been paralyzed for many years in the Yuan family was standing steadily in front of the bed at this time, looking at everyone indifferently, looking like her dream was disturbed.
Everyone felt that they had seen a miracle that they had never seen in their lives, and only a slight smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Xiyue's mouth.
