Xia Chen had an ominous premonition in her heart, and she rushed all the way to Old Taijun Xu's courtyard, only to see several of Old Taijun's personal servants kneeling at the door crying.

Mother Wang saw her crying and said silently: "Old lady, she ...... went. ”

Xia Chen pushed the door and came to the hall, a cry came from the old lady's bedroom, she couldn't help but stop, this qiē came too suddenly, so that she didn't know how to face it.

Hua Manlou said softly: "It's late." "No matter how good his medical skills are, he can only heal the sick but not the life.

Xia Chen bit his lip: "I don't believe it!" "Although Mrs. Xu's health is not very good, but there is no sudden fatal Yan zhòng disease, although the doctor said before that it is quite strict, but what he said in and out of his words means that as long as she doesn't stimulate her anymore, she can still maintain some time with good recuperation, why did she die in less than an hour?

Hua Manlou was a little puzzled: "What don't you believe?" ”

Xia Chen turned his head to look at him: "The last time you saw my grandmother, how was her health?" ”

Hua Manlou thought for a while: "Except for some qi deficiency and a slight stagnation of liver qi, there are no other major illnesses, but after all, your grandmother is old, and if she is too stimulated, she may suddenly have a stroke or sudden heart artery break, and she will ...... if she is not treated in time."

Strokes are understandable, similar to cerebral thrombosis and cerebral hemorrhage, and sudden heart artery rupture is the equivalent of modern heart diseases such as myocardial infarction. Although Mrs. Xu also has a can @ ability, she woke up before and still had to talk to herself, which shows that although she was stimulated to faint, it did not cause this kind of illness, unless someone stimulated her again.

"Brother Fengyue. Come in with me. Xia Chen whispered.

Hua Manlou shook his head: "It's not convenient, right?" ”

Xia Chen said: "I want to know the cause of my grandmother's death. ”

Hua Manlou was stunned: "This ...... All right. He wasn't interested in the dead, but he keenly sensed that Xia Chen was suspicious of something, which made him a little curious.

Xia Chen pushed the door open. Mrs. Xu's bed knelt beside the ground, and even Xia Yiyu, who was rarely seen on weekdays, was there. And although these people are crying, there are not many who are really sad and crying, and she can hear the thunder outside.

Xia Zhongyang glanced at them: "Chen'er, your grandmother has left, please go back to Fengyue Gongzi." ”

Xia Chen ignored his words and walked to the side of the bed to take a look. Mrs. Xu had indeed stopped breathing, but her face was not pale, but red and purple.

Hua Manlou wanted to come up and take a look. was stopped by Xia Zhongyang: "Fengyue Gongzi, there is a funeral in Xia's family, and I can't entertain you, please forgive me." ”

Hua Manlou's figure flickered and he was already at the bedside. He only glanced at Mrs. Xu. Turning his head to Xia Zhongyang, who was full of anger on his face, he said, "I'll leave now." ”

Xia Zhongyang snorted when he heard this: "I will not send it far." ”

Xia Chen said: "I'll send you." ”

"Okay."

When the two came to a no-man's place outside the hospital, Xia Chen asked, "What can you see?" ”

Hua Manlou nodded: "Almost, your grandmother did not die a natural death." ”

"Is it poisoning?"

Hua Manlou sighed: "No. Chen'er, go back and inquire about your grandmother's servants and kitchen, and ask if your grandmother has served the hanging soup again after you left. ”

Xia Chen frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

Hua Manlou waved his hand: "It's not easy to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, you ask first, and then you go to Fengyue Villa to find me." ”

"Hmm."

Next, the whole Xia Mansion was busy arranging funerals, and everyone seemed to have forgotten Xia Chen's savings. And Cao's mother and the two maids were also called to decorate the mourning hall and greet the guests who came to mourn. This Yingyue Xuan is the only one left with her and Yueniang.

And she didn't go to the academy in the past two days, according to the customs of Dayun Kingdom, if an elder in the family dies, the younger generation must keep the spirit for at least seven days, keep filial piety for three months, and the descendants of the descendants must keep filial piety for at least one year.

It stands to reason that she should go to the mourning hall, but no one came to call her, so the Qian family sent someone to send a set of filial piety clothes, and said that she only needed to stay in her own courtyard.

For this kind of thing, Xia Chen doesn't want to move forward, everyone is dead, what's the use of doing this again. Sitting on the steps, thinking of Mrs. Xu's kind smiling face, her heart was sour, and Mrs. Xu didn't even look at her in the end, and she didn't even say a few words to her in the end.

"Chen'er, I'm afraid it's going to rain this day, let's go inside." Yueniang came back from outside the hospital and said softly.

Xia Chen didn't want to speak now, nodded his head and stood up and went back to the house.

Yueniang closed the door: "Chen'er, I asked about what you asked me to inquire about, and I heard that soon after Mother Wang left, the eldest lady said that the old lady was dizzy again, and ordered someone to take the rest of the hanging soup." ”

The so-called hanging soup is actually ginseng soup, which is good for people who are weak, but it is extremely negative, and it will be dangerous if the body can bear it if you take too much, could it be that Xia Zhongyang killed Mrs. Xu by this means?

But even so, you can't use this to say that Xia Zhongyang is not, let alone convicted. First, in this era, there is no way to detect how much is overdosed, and secondly, people here use this method for first aid, and some families can't afford to drink if they want to.

At this time, Wang's mother's voice came from outside the door: "Third young master, third young master?" She was calling, but her voice was low.

Yueniang hurriedly opened the door, and Wang's mother entered the house in a flash, turned around and closed the door and let out a sigh, as if someone was chasing her.

Xia Chen asked, "Mother Wang, is there something wrong?" ”

Mother Wang walked quickly to her side: "San......" said and glanced at Yueniang.

Xia Chen said: "Don't worry, Yueniang won't say it." ”

Mother Wang continued: "Third Young Master, I originally planned to rot in my stomach about this matter, but the old lady treats me well, if I don't tell you that my conscience is disturbed." ”

Xia Chen smiled slightly: "Mother Wang, if you have anything to say, don't worry." ”

"Third Young Master, haven't you seen it yet? The eldest lord wants to dominate the Xia family, and now he says to outsiders that you are actually ......"

"What is it?" Xia Chen saw that Wang's mother stopped again when she said this, and asked. I thought to myself, you can't finish all the things together!

Mother Wang said dryly: "I said that you were not born by the second master, but ...... It was born to the second lady and someone else. ”

Xia Chen laughed angrily when he heard this: "Heh, no wonder after my grandmother died, they kept leaving me aside, and they actually gave me the title of wild * species." ”

As soon as she said this, Mother Wang and Yueniang both lowered their heads, and to their ears, these words were really a bit rude.

Mother Wang coughed and said: "The eldest master said that he didn't say it because he was taking care of the old lady's body before, but now it's time not to say it, he can't watch the foundation of the Xia family fall into the hands of unknown people." ”

Xia Chen raised his hand: "Okay, Mother Wang, I know about this." What did you say to me now before my grandmother was to see me? ”

Mother Wang hesitated for a moment: "That day, the old lady woke up and asked me if the third young master had grown recently, I said that the third young master was very sensible and much more stable, the old lady was very relieved to hear it, she said that her body was afraid that it would not last long, and it was time to hand over all the things of the Xia family to the third young master." ”

"And what about later? I mean, do you know what happened after I went out to get a doctor? "This Xia Chen expected it early in the morning, and of course Xia Zhongyang and his wife also expected it.

Mother Wang's face changed, and she unconsciously looked at the door.

Seeing this, Xia Chen commanded to Yueniang: "Go and guard the door, if someone comes, they will say that I am not feeling well and am taking a nap." In fact, she could completely hear whether anyone was coming, and she did this to reassure Wang's mother.

After Yueniang went out, Wang's mother said: "It's a coincidence, after the third young master left that day, I remembered that the old lady hadn't eaten anything for a day, so I brought a bowl of porridge and planned to send it to her, but I heard the eldest master and the eldest lady quarreling with the old lady in the room. ”

"They asked my grandmother to give them the title deed?"

Mother Wang thought for a while: "I heard them mention the real estate deed, and it seems that the second master was also mentioned, but I was afraid that they would find out, so I didn't dare to stay longer and retreated to the door, and after a while, the eldest lady said that the old lady fainted again, and asked Mother Zhang to get the hanging soup." ”

Xia Chen already roughly understood when he heard this, Xia Zhongyang and the Qian family must have never known where Mrs. Xu put those real estate deeds, and they also knew that Mrs. Xu was going to look for her, and nine times out of ten they wanted to give these things to her, so they broke her up and went to ask Mrs. Xu for it.

And no matter whether they got those things as they wished, they would not let Lao Taijun live again, otherwise when the matter spread, what face would they have to face.

Xia Chen closed his eyes and sighed, thinking that he still didn't think about it thoroughly, if she found Hua Manlou first, and then asked to see the old lady, maybe ...... Now there is no possibility, Mrs. Xu is dead, and she is afraid that she will not be able to protect herself, since they will think of saying that they are a wild * species, the next step must be to expel her from the house.

"Mother Wang, thank you for telling me these things."

Mother Wang sighed: "Third Young Master, take care, I have to leave quickly." ”

"Hmm." Xia Chen nodded.

After dinner, Zhang's mother came over and said that Qian wanted to see her. Xia Chen thought to himself, these people, can't they even wait for a few days?

Although it was not yet dark, it was as cloudy as ink, and the wind swept up the scattered raindrops, and it looked like there would be a heavy rain tonight.

Qian's room had been lit with candles, but only one candle was still dark in the room, and Qian sat at the table, dressed in plain clothes and her pale face without powder, and the shadow behind her that was reflected by the candlelight faltering, making her look three parts like a human and seven parts like a ghost.

Xia Chen didn't even give a salute, and said lightly: "Is there something wrong with my aunt calling me here?" ”

Qian raised his eyebrows and sighed: "Alas, this matter is really difficult to say, but it can't be said otherwise." Chen'er, you've followed your mother since you were a child, and you haven't found any other men looking for her? ”

Xia Chen snorted coldly in his heart, even the dead had to be slandered, it was really lacking in morality, if Han Xiuxue really had other men, she would not have lived like that.

"Oops! Mother, mother, are you back to see Chen'er? She exclaimed, looking at a dark corner behind Qian. (To be continued......) R1292
