Chapter 54: Poisoned
Xin Yan came as promised, the porter had already received an order, knowing that a distinguished guest was coming today, so he directly led her to Shao Yunqing's courtyard.
It's just that as soon as Xin Yan entered the mansion, he felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was a little strange. It is said that although Shao Yunqing lives in the Zhou Mansion, she is not the owner of the Zhou Mansion, and Xin Yan is invited by her, at least she has to send someone to meet her, so as to show respect.
Although the two of them are now in the same boat, they are not very close, so it is indeed a little unsafe to let her come by herself.
However, Shao Yunqing really didn't have the heart to take care of Xin Yan now.
Her current psychology is very anxious.
Cuihuaxuan is Zhou Shumei's place, because there is a bamboo forest next to it, so it is named Cuihuaxuan.
Zhou Shumei's face was pale at the moment, her eyes were closed, her breath was like a hanging thread, and her beautiful face was covered by this sickness.
There were a few people standing in Cuizhu Xuan, Zhou Shumei's aunt, and Liu Shi stood aside and quietly wiped her tears. Mrs. Feng of the Zhou Mansion sat on the top, tapping lightly on the table with her right hand.
And Zhou Shuman and several other Miss Zhou Fu also stood aside. It's just that the other ladies have a panic on their faces, and they have always lived cautiously in this house.
They come from humble backgrounds, and their aunts are not like Aunt Liu, who are deeply loved by Zhou Fengdi, so they naturally have no status in this mansion, so they can only try to reduce their sense of presence in the mansion for their daughters.
can only beg for a life quietly under Feng's hands.
And Zhou Shuman is different, although she also wants to know what's going on, but she also knows that Zhou Shumei must be weird this time, every time something happens, she will always come to them. But so what, this time, Zhou Shumei was because of what happened to Shao Yunqing, which had nothing to do with her.
And at this moment, everyone is looking at the doctor who is remediating Zhou Shumei.
This also includes Shao Yunqing, for Shao Yunqing, she is the most nervous. She was the first to feel Cuizhuxuan here. It's no wonder, after all, Shu Mei happened to her this week, no matter what, she also has a certain responsibility.
At this time, her hands were all covered with sweat, and her face was burning.
Most of Zhou Feng came, and the people in the room got up to greet him when they saw it.
Zhou Feng waved his hand and signaled that he would be exempted. Feng Shi asked, "My lord is going down early today." β
He only hummed, then looked at Zhou Shumei lying on the bed, and asked, "What's going on?" β
He went to the court to be fine, this is only a moment of effort, how did it become like this?
Feng said: "If you go back to the master, I don't know about this concubine." In the morning, I heard the maid of Cuizhuxuan report that Mei Yatou was somehow fainted, so I quickly found the doctor to take a look, and now, the doctor has not said what is going on. β
Zhou Feng listened and frowned. Mei Yatou has always been in good health, how could she faint for no reason, naturally something happened.
However, before the doctor could say anything, he couldn't be in a hurry, so he stepped forward and sat down in the place where Feng had been sitting.
After Feng instructed the maid to serve tea to Zhou Feng, he stood beside Zhou Feng.
Aunt Liu looked at it, and her psychology was extremely sour. Although Zhou Feng has always been very gentle with her in his place, as soon as she leaves the courtyard, she must abide by the rules, she is just an aunt, so it is naturally impossible to ignore her identity.
She is an aunt, so naturally she can't overstep her responsibilities while the eldest lady is still there. Just like in this scene now, she can't go out to serve the master, because this is what Feng should do.
Although Aunt Liu is confident, the lord loves her in his heart, and she has more respect for the Feng family. However, with this pampering, she can do what she wants. However, she couldn't ignore the rules, because she knew that if the rules were broken, let alone Feng's, the master would not be the first to spare her.
However, he still couldn't bear this feeling, and still looked at Zhou Feng with affectionate eyes, with a lot of bitterness and pity in his eyes.
Zhou Feng naturally saw it, if there was no one else present, he would definitely comfort Aunt Liu, but the current occasion was not suitable, so he could only treat it as invisible.
Pick up the freshly served tea, gently scrape the tea leaves on it with the lid, and take a few sips.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, he knew about it, and he didn't have time to drink water, and he was indeed thirsty at this time. In this regard, Feng is indeed very careful.
After casting an appreciative glance at Feng, he also waited wholeheartedly.
Aunt Liu stared at her side, angry, the old man didn't see her discomfort, and praised Feng, which made her feel really uncomfortable.
Zhou Shuman saw Aunt Liu's style, he was really disdainful, and he secretly scolded him and couldn't get on the stage.
The other ladies had to lower their heads to minimize their sense of existence, and they didn't want to get involved in the fight between these two women at all.
Feng's scheming is deep, they all know her methods, and they don't dare to make trouble. But Aunt Liu has Zhou Feng's favor, and they don't dare to offend, so they can only choose to stay out of the matter.
Shao Yunqing didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to every move here because his attention was on Zhou Shumei.
However, the person concerned, Feng, was still like that, and he was not angry because Aunt Liu was in front of her, secretly sending Qiu Bo to Zhou Feng, nor was he happy because of Zhou Feng's praise.
From start to finish, more like an inconsequential person.
The doctor got up and knelt down in front of Zhou Feng. Zhou Feng asked him to get up and asked, "What's wrong?" β
The doctor wanted to speak and stopped, but finally said: "Lord Qiyu, these four young ladies, yes, they are poisoned."
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.
Zhou Feng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Poisoning? β
"Yes, but this poison was discovered early, and the dosage is not very much, and it is not life-threatening, the villain has already given Miss Four an antidote pill, and when Miss Four wakes up, it will be fine."
Zhou Feng's face is still not good-looking, someone dares to poison Zhou's mansion, it's really good.
"Can you find out how you were poisoned? What kind of poison is it? β
The doctor said: "The villain saw a little residual pastry in the mouth of the fourth lady, and the fourth lady should have used the poisonous pastry before the incident, so he would be poisoned." β
After Shao Yunqing heard this, he was already in a cold sweat. How is this possible, this pastry, which she made rosΓ©, how can it be poisonous?
Zhou Feng slammed the table and said angrily, "What's going on? How did you wait for the young lady? β
These words are right, naturally the subordinates of Cuizhuxuan. Miss poisoning, the first thing to happen, of course, is these minions, it is they who are useless, so Miss will be poisoned.
Cuizhuxuan's subordinates knelt on the ground, all shouting for the old man to spare his life.
Zhou Feng was annoyed by what he heard: "It's not from the truth, how did the fourth lady eat this poisonous pastry?" β
Cuizhuxuan's maids looked at each other, they were just some second-class maids, or even third-class maids, and they didn't serve the young lady all the time, so naturally they didn't know how she was poisoned. But at this time, they didn't dare to respond to Zhou Feng's words.
At this time, Zhou Shumei's personal maid said loudly: "Master, the fourth lady went earlier, went to Miss Cousin, and used a piece of pastry there. β
As soon as these words came out, Shao Yunqing immediately became the focus of everyone.
Zhou Shuman was the first to bear the brunt and said: "Okay, it turns out that you hurt my fourth sister, you are really vicious as a woman." β
The words are slowly gloating, for her, whether it is Zhou Shumei or Shao Yunqing, she is happy. The only regret is why Shu Mei was not poisoned this week, so isn't everyone happy.
But looking at her lying on the bed, not living or dying, it also made her feel very relieved.
Shao Yunqing hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't, I don't know what the hell is going on." The fourth lady came to my yard earlier and used some pastries, but this pastry can't be poisonous, I ate it myself, and it's fine. β
Zhou Shuman snorted coldly: "The doctor said that the pastry is indeed poisonous, even if you eat it without poison, it doesn't mean that the poison is from you, and you will naturally not eat the poisoned pastry." β
Shao Yunqing was even more anxious: "It's really not me, uncle, you believe me, I can't harm the fourth lady." I have no reason to hurt her. β
Zhou Shuman rolled his eyes: "The devil knows what kind of calculation you have in your heart." β
"Alright, Man'er don't talk about it." Zhou Feng glared at Zhou Shuman, he naturally knew that Zhou Shuman had embarrassed Shao Yunqing in the garden the day before yesterday, but he didn't say anything. Moreover, he could also see that Yun Qing had no reason to harm Mei Yatou at all, and Yun Qing didn't seem to be panicking when he spoke, which he could still see.
How to say that he is also Dali Siqing, his vision is naturally sharp, if he doesn't have some ability, how can he do it in this position for so long, how can he not have some real talent.
"I believe that this will not be done by Yun Qing, she really has no reason to harm Mei Yatou, besides, she has only been in the house for a few days, where can she find poison to poison."
glanced at Zhou Shuman, and saw that she seemed to be still talking, so he said: "If Yun Qing really wants to poison, the first thing to kill is not Mei Yatou, and it is also Man'er who wants to poison, just your mouth, you have to be unforgiving." β
"Father!" When Zhou Shuman heard Zhou Feng's words, he stomped his feet angrily, is this still her father? Actually helping outsiders.
Now I was angry, but I didn't speak anymore.
Zhou Feng thought about it for a while, and said to Shao Yunqing again: "However, Yunqing, since Mei Yatou ate the poisonous pastries from you, the remaining pastries must also be checked, as well as your yard, you should also check them." β
"Yes, uncle."
Shao Yunqing didn't get angry after hearing this, it's a good thing that her uncle is willing to check, she didn't do anything, so she is naturally not afraid of checking. I'm afraid, although my uncle said that he believed her, but he didn't check down, then it was the most difficult thing to do at that time.
Now that's the case, too, is a good thing.
With a wave of his hand, Zhou Feng asked people to inspect the courtyard where Shao Yunqing lived, and also asked people to bring the remaining pastries and let the doctor check whether they were poisonous.
