Chapter Seventy-One: Poisoning
"What?"
Wu Dehou was shocked, someone really poisoned the old lady.
Qu Fu suddenly thought of the last time at the old lady's birthday banquet, the imperial doctor was spitting out, saying that the old lady was not strong and bloody, and the imperial doctor's expression was very strange at that time.
It's like there's something to be done and you haven't found out!
Could it be that at that time, the imperial doctor suspected that the old lady had been poisoned?
Wu Dehou's eyes flashed, and he said in a cold voice: "What the hell is going on!" ”
Qu Miaoling told what she had discovered, but she was not stupid, she would not expose her hole cards until she had the confidence to completely defeat the Wen family.
And that day, she bumped into the girl who poisoned the old lady and disappeared, and she would only give Wen more opportunities to defend herself.
Qu Miaoling thought about it for a while, and then he had the answer.
She started with the old lady's birthday banquet and told Wu Dehou about the abnormality of the old lady's body.
Sure enough, Wu Dehou was furious after hearing this, and he asked again and again who was poisoned, Qu Miaoling sighed, "Father, this matter still needs to be investigated, and my daughter has not found any clues." ”
Wu Dehou was angry, he glanced at the quail-like Wen clan, and Qu Miaoling with an innocent face, and hurried to the old lady's courtyard.
Although Wu Dehou is not stingy, he is sincere to his mother, and when he heard that something happened to the old lady, he was more anxious than anyone else.
Wu Dehou hurried over and interrupted the old lady's thoughts.
"Master Hou, is there something?"
Wu Dehou roared urgently: "Mother, why didn't you tell your son when you were poisoned, you let your son-"
The old lady understood as soon as she heard it, and it seemed that her stupid son knew something.
The old lady sighed, and sat down with Wu Dehou in her arms.
"Mother, just talk about it! What the hell is going on! ”
The old lady sighed again, watching her son kneel down beside her lap, she said in the end: "This matter is thanks to Miao Ling, that day the imperial doctor said that I had a problem with my body, so she stopped the medicine prepared by Wen's family, and asked me to ask the divine doctor to diagnose the pulse, and after several Lang Zhong's affirmation, she adopted the current prescription." ”
"The miracle doctor also said that there is a chronic poison in my body, which is not usually obvious, but it will eat away at my body little by little, until I die inexplicably, and finally I can't find out what this poison is!"
"Someone is trying to harm you?"
This turned out to be true.
Wu Dehou Meng.
The old lady nodded.
"Mother, why do you want to hide it and don't tell your son!"
"Hey, I'm not afraid you're worried!"
"Old lady."
"Grandmother."
Wu Dehou walked too fast, Qu Miaoling and Wen both reacted, and he disappeared.
Looking at the two who were belated, the old lady smiled, but when she looked at Wen's, she was scrutinizing.
"Mother, who do you think wants to harm you?"
The old lady glanced at Qu Miaoling and said, "I don't know, it's just that the medicine I drank before has always been handled by the Wen family, you can ask her!" ”
"Wen, you say!" Wu Dehou's face changed suddenly.
He glared at Wen viciously, as if he thought she was a murderer.
"Master Hou, it's not me, it's really not me, what reason do I have to poison the old lady?"
Wu Dehou thought about it, now that the Wen family has everything, and the housekeeping power is also in her hands, it stands to reason that she has no reason to poison the old lady.
But she is responsible for this medicine, and the person who poisoned it may be the person next to Wen's.
Besides, today Wen and Qu Miaoling had a quarrel, it was clearly Qu Miaoling's head, Wu Dehou didn't know if this Qu Miaoling deliberately framed her in order to fight with Wen.
And the old lady has a good relationship with Qu Miaoling recently, and she is an accomplice.
For a time, Wu Dehou was extremely embarrassed.
"Mother is poisoned, everyone in the house is suspicious, in this way, the thorough investigation will be handed over to Benhou, and all the people involved in this matter will be detained, and no one can be spared!"
"Yes."
Wu Dehou left, and for a while, there were many people in the Hou Mansion who were complaining, and there were many people who were involved in the matter, and there were also many people who were involved.
Checking one by one takes a lot of effort. But Wu Dehou is not too troublesome, he must find out.
During this time, no matter who came to investigate, he didn't say a word.
In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't go anywhere for several days, so he nested in the dark room to interrogate his subordinates. Some were obedient and asked what to say, and some had a hard mouth, so they were punished.
Wen secretly came to investigate, but was frightened by the wailing sound that came out, and went back in dismay.
After returning to He'an Garden, Wen's house was quickly replaced with a set of tea sets and porcelain.
With a wry smile on his face in charge of warehouse management, at the end of the year, Mrs. Shu has the greatest loss.
He couldn't say anything, not even complain.
Hey, these days, it's hard to do it!
Wu Dehou's investigation was in full swing, and little by little, he also came up with some clues.
Many people were released and consolation money was given, but many were dragged into the dark room.
Recently, people in the house have been panicking, no one dares to speak, and they are all bowing their heads to work, for fear that they will be implicated.
On this day, someone from the Jingkang Hou Mansion invited Qu Miaoling to come over, and Qu Miaoling went to Wu Dehou first to say a word before being released from the mansion.
Moreover, she can go out, but the people around her can't leave the Hou Mansion.
Qu Miaoling told the people in the courtyard not to walk around, stay honestly, and let them be optimistic about them gently, and then get into the carriage.
"Auntie, what's wrong!"
"Then the Wang family is here again today, she still doesn't give up, and today I looked at her with a not very good face, and her tone was also pleading, as if she was in a hurry to marry her daughter."
"Really?" Qu Miaoling had a puzzled expression on her face.
Seeing that the time of Wang's death is getting closer and closer, could it be that the Wang family noticed something, so he was in a hurry to marry Wen Qingruo?
The more she thought about it, the more Qu Miaoling felt that she had guessed correctly. But Qu Miaoling didn't plan to tell her aunt about this.
"Auntie, are you excited?"
Mrs. An frowned, "Of course not, I just think it's a little strange, but to be honest, I think Qingruo's child is very good, I've met her a few times, and she's really a good girl." ”
"But who made her Wen Hongzhi's daughter, just this point, it is impossible for me to agree in my life."
"Then what if the second brother also likes people in the future?"
Mrs. An choked, and then she saw Qu Miaoling smiling like a cat who had stolen a fish, and Mrs. An still didn't understand anything, "You girl, you dare to tease your aunt!" ”
Qu Miaoling quarreled with Mrs. An for a while, and then heard the other party ask, "Miaoling, is there something wrong with the Wudehou Mansion?" The spies she had planted in the house were silent.
"Yes, people in the house have been panicking recently, and my father is looking for the murderer who poisoned the old lady, and there is a lot of chaos in the house."
"That's right!"
Qu Miaoling had mentioned it to her before, and she also knew that this was the hand of the Wen family.
"Miao Ling, why don't you add fuel to the fire and let Wu Dehou find out about the Wen family?"
"Mother, it's not that simple, the girl I bumped into at that time has been sorted out by Wen's secret one-one-two-two, and after that, I took over the task of boiling medicine for my grandmother, if I suddenly mention it, Wen's will definitely beat me upside down, and all of them will be pushed on me."
"Also, after all, there is no proof of death, since it is difficult to start, let's wait and see."
Qu Miaoling nodded.
After talking to Mrs. An for a while, Qu Miaoling went in and chatted with Min Tian again.
"Second cousin, you don't mean anything about Qingruo?"
"My good sister, brother, I swear to God, I really don't!"
"You'd better tell the truth!"
Qu Miaoling paused, and then said: "Brother, in fact, Qingruo and I are friends, she is a good girl. ”
"Don't, you wait a while, don't be that Wen Qingruo looking for you to be a lobbyist!"
"What nonsense! I mean, in this matter, even if Wen Qingruo is my friend, I don't agree with you two being together. ”
"I know, I know, you haven't married yet, why are you more verbose than your mother."
"You-"
"Okay, okay, it's my mistake, I don't know the hearts of good people!" Min Tian hurriedly admitted his mistake.
But Qu Miaoling still left angrily.
"Sister, don't be angry, when my leg is healed, I will personally come to the door to make amends for you!"
Min Tian shouted twice.
After leaving the Hou Mansion, Qu Miaoling wandered around the streets, holding her back at home for several days, and the air in the Wude Hou Mansion suffocated her.
Bought some gadgets on the street.
Suddenly, Qu Miaoling stopped in front of a stall.
"Girl, want to buy a chain of longevity?"
The curtains on this stall are exquisitely made, and at first glance, they are put into it.
"Boss, how do you sell this thing?"
"One or two pieces of silver, don't be too expensive, this is made of sterling silver, it takes several craftsmen to do it for a few days!"
Qu Miaoling picked and searched, found one engraved with the word Shou Tao Fu on it, paid the money, and turned around and walked towards Wudehou's mansion.
"Miss, you're finally back, and He'an Park has a new trick."
"Wen's move?"
"This morning, Hou Ye's people came to arrest people, it was the little girl under Mama Qi's hands, but Wen didn't say a word, and tied Mama Qi and sent it to Hou Ye together."
"And then?"
"Miss, do you remember that day, we saw a maid hand over poison to a mother-in-law, and Mama Qi was that mother-in-law!"
"It's her!"
