Chapter 214: Old Lady Jiang dies
It's just that Chen's consolation did not stop Zeng's tears, but cried even more sadly and said, "You are still bullying us that there is no man in the second room, master, if you are still here, how can I be bullied like this?" Open your eyes and look at our poor widows and orphans. ”
The third prince saw his grandmother crying so sadly, he really couldn't stand it, he held his grandmother up, and said to Master Jiang with an unkind face, "Since my grandfather said so, then I will personally take my grandmother into the palace to see my mother, and let my grandmother personally evaluate the merits of my grandmother." ”
"I'm afraid that at this time, no one can leave here!" Liu Mengyan stood up and said.
"Who are you? Despite blocking His Royal Highness the Third Prince? Zeng Shi put away the tears on his face, and a pair of special eyes swept Liu Mengyan, and then said a little fiercely.
Sure enough, she is Concubine Xuan's own mother, and her temperament and eyes are the same! The eyes of the three princes are exactly the same as theirs.
"The second lady misunderstood. Because His Royal Highness the Third Prince just said that anyone who has come into contact with the old lady must not leave here. We must find out how the old lady was poisoned! Since the second lady is so filial to the old lady, how can she leave, naturally she will wait until the truth is found out! Isn't it? Liu Ruyan said word by word.
"You!" Zeng was dumbfounded by her, and he had nothing to say for a while.
"The second lady forgives the sin, Ruoyan has no intention of offending!" Liu Mengyan said with a solemn face, "Ruoyan is just a reasonable suspicion. Before the matter is revealed, everyone is suspicious, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, do you say yes? ”
At this moment, a maid hurriedly ran in, saluted Master Jiang and said, "Master, hurry up and take a look, the old lady has already gone." ”
Everyone was shocked, and Master Jiang also took a step back, as if he couldn't stand, this thing was too sudden.
Chen then wept, and several juniors didn't dare to say more, so they just cried.
Fortunately, Uncle Jiang quickly calmed down and led everyone towards the old lady's house.
Liu Mengyan thought for a moment and followed everyone into the old lady's house.
At this time, the doctor was putting away the needle that had been stuck in the old lady's body.
Master Jiang ran to the old lady's side at once, looked at the old lady with a black face, and asked the house doctor, "Can you diagnose what kind of poison is in the old lady?" “
The doctor said, "According to the diagnosis of the old lady, it seems that the poison of Y is in the old lady. “
Master Jiang asked the doctor again: "Y? Did the lady find anything in the sour jujube cake that the lady sent in, but because of the sour jujube cake? “
After listening to Master Jiang's words, before the house doctor could say anything, he saw that Zeng Shi was wowing and crying again.
Zeng patted his chest and cried again, "Big brother, you still doubt me, I married into the Jiang Mansion, my husband died early, I was widowed for my husband at home, and I raised a pair of children with hard work, facing my in-laws, I can also say that I am filial and filial on weekdays, and now the old lady is poisoned, but you want to doubt me, I just gave the old lady a plate of sour jujube cake?" ”
Listening to Zeng's words, Master Jiang frowned unconsciously, he always felt that this brother and daughter-in-law were making trouble unreasonably, but he was not good at dealing with a woman's family.
At this time, the house doctor said to Master Jiang, "The sour jujube cake you gave me didn't find anything wrong. ”
As soon as the house doctor's words fell, Zeng's crying became louder and louder, and he didn't know how much he had been wronged.
The third prince helped the Zeng family up, and asked Liu Mengyan with a good face: "What kind of intentions does the county lord have for framing the grandmother of the main hall like this?" ”
Liu Mengyan frowned, not wanting to pay attention to the third prince's question, but just looked at the palace doctor and continued to ask: "Then doctor, can you find out why the old lady was poisoned?" ”
The house doctor frowned, thought for a moment, and then shook his head, he couldn't detect this.
Uncle Jiang had no choice but to give Chen a look and asked her to persuade Zeng not to let her continue to cry.
The third prince snorted coldly, and then said to Uncle Jiang: "According to the main hall, the eldest uncle is really getting more and more confused, I don't want to believe what my family says, but believe the words of outsiders. ”
Master Jiang arched his hand at the third prince and said, "What the third prince said is reasonable, the lower official will send someone to search the guest room to see if he can find something." ”
Then, Master Jiang said to Liu Mengyan, "County Lord Anping, now my mother has passed away, the murderer has not been found so far, you have also contacted your mother today, according to the minister, you should go back to the guest room and wait first, today the Jiang family can only offend the county lord, and the county lord is wronged to stay in the guest room." ”
Liu Mengyan looked at Master Jiang and said firmly: "If Lord Jiang can trust Ruoyan, Ruoyan has a way to know when and how the old lady was poisoned." ”
The third prince listened to Liu Mengyan's words, sneered and said, "County lord, you still don't want to be smart here, just said that there is a problem with the sour jujube cake, and asked the eldest uncle of the hall to go to great lengths to check the sour jujube cake, and it turns out that there is no problem with the sour jujube cake at all, I think you still don't waste time and delay everyone's affairs." ”
Liu Mengyan looked at Master Jiang without fear and continued, "In the whole world, who dares to come to Jiang's Mansion to poison the old lady, and still leave that thing on his body and wait to search it?" If so, then that person is either crazy or stupid. So, even if you send someone to search for it at this moment, you probably won't be able to find anything, so it's better to listen to my thoughts. “
After listening to Liu Mengyan's words, Master Jiang felt that what Liu Mengyan said was reasonable, and the third prince looked at Master Jiang's movements and asked, "Since the county lord is so sure that there is a way, then you say, what can you do?" ”
"I know that there is a doctor surnamed Xu in the mansion of the sixth prince, and this person's medical skills, even if it is said that Hua Tuo is alive, it is not an exaggeration at all. If we can invite him over to test the old lady for poisoning, we may be able to find out why the old lady was poisoned. ”
"Liu Mengyan, this is all your excuse." The third prince pointed at Liu Mengyan and said angrily.
Liu Mengyan was not angry, but smiled at the third prince, "Your Highness said that Ruoyan is a prevarication?" Now that the old lady has passed away, why can't Dr. Xu come over to check the old lady to find out what kind of poison the old lady has, so that we can also let the wife know that the person who harmed her will eventually have retribution. ”
Master Jiang felt that what Liu Mengyan said was indeed right, so he nodded and said to Liu Mengyan, "What the county lord said is very true, then Dr. Xu will trouble the county lord to invite him." ”
"Lord Jiang is polite, Ruoyan will go to the Six Princes' Mansion now to invite Dr. Xu over."
Master Jiang didn't say anything, but the three princes immediately refused to say, "This thing is not good, according to the palace, it is still your letter, and the palace will send someone to invite you." “
"Your Highness, that Doctor Xu's temper is very strange, if you are rude to her, then you put a knife on his neck today, and he will not come."
Before the third prince could continue to say anything, Master Jiang said to Liu Mengyan, "That being the case, it is better to trouble the county lord to go on a trip himself." ”
"But before Ruoyan went to invite Dr. Xu, she also asked Master Jiang to send my mother and sister back to Liu's house first."
"Naturally, there is no problem." After thinking about it, Master Jiang agreed to Liu Mengyan's conditions.
Liu Mengyan was sent back to the room, and as soon as Zhu saw that she came back safely, he immediately greeted her, took her hand and said, "Yan'er, are you okay?" ”
"Mother, it's okay. Let's go back to Liufu first. Ruoyan still has to go to the Six Princes' Mansion and ask Dr. Xu to come here. Liu Mengyan patted Zhu's hand and said.
As soon as Liu Ruomei heard that she could go, she immediately said to the Zhu family: "Mother, let's go back first." Otherwise, Daddy will be in a hurry. ”
Zhu Shili ignored her words, but Liu Mengyan glanced at her, and she agreed.
Zhu and Liu Ruomei finally went back in the carriage of Liufu, while Liu Mengyan and Bitong were led by a steward of Jiangfu and took the carriage to the Six Princes' Mansion.
Liu Mengyan arrived at the Six Princes' Mansion and went directly to Dr. Xu's courtyard.
Doctor Xu listened to her request and immediately shook his head, "Don't embarrass me, county lord, I'm a member of the Sixth Highness, how can I treat people casually?" No, absolutely not. ”
"Then my request won't work?" Liu Mengyan knows that she can only be gentle and a little tempered when dealing with Dr. Xu, which is a hornet's nest.
"Your Highness once said that I would help the county lord, but I didn't say that I could help others." Dr. Xu still insisted on refusing to go to the Jiang Mansion.
Liu Mengyan could only puff out her mouth and looked at Dr. Xu, "Are you deliberately unwilling to help me because Your Highness is no longer there?" ”
Dr. Xu picked up a herb in his hand and said to Liu Mengyan, "I want to look at the herbs here, and I don't have time to help people see a doctor." ”
Liu Mengyan looked at Doctor Xu and said deliberately: "Since Doctor Xu is not unwilling to help, then forget it, hey, when the news of me being framed in Jiang Mansion spreads, His Highness will not be happy when he comes back, and it will also affect His Highness's reputation." ”
As she spoke, Liu Mengyan lifted her feet and turned around to leave.
I saw that Dr. Xu thought for a moment, and said to Liu Mengyan, "The county lord said that it is so serious, then I will follow you on a trip, woman, it is trouble." ”
Inside the carriage.
Liu Ruyan briefly talked about the phenomenon and process of Mrs. Jiang's poisoning with Dr. Xu.
