"This prescription is called the prescription, ordinary people can't afford to eat this patch, but although this medicine is expensive, it is an excellent prescription, and the effect of curing wind and cold is very fast, but there is a shortcoming, that is, during the period of taking medicine, you must not touch cold things." Leng Lingyu said.

"Exactly, Miss Leng is right, Imperial Doctor Shen did advise, so my diet recently is mostly warm and supplementative."

"But in this prescription, someone put a cool peony skin, so Mrs.'s condition has not been cured for a long time, and her body is getting weaker and weaker."

Lin and Qing glanced at each other, their eyes solemn.

"Uncle, when did that Shan'er enter the mansion?"

Yan Rong, who was standing beside Lin, heard that there was a problem with Lin's medicine, and his face turned white with fright, and he quickly explained for Lin: "When my aunt and grandmother got married, she took away a lot of powerful girls, and the four girls around Mrs. also gave her two, and later Mrs. chose a group of maids to enter the house, this Shan'er came at that time, and the hands and feet are also very good at looking at the eyes, and Mrs. stayed in the courtyard. ”

Lin's back was cold, she really couldn't think of anyone who would harm her, she was usually kind and innocent. What does Xu Er mean is that she has a problem? But why did she do it? Who is trying to harm me?

"What the reason is, let's not say for now. just said that Shan'er was just a subordinate, and she had no grievances or enmity with her uncle, how could she have a bad heart? If you want to harm your aunt, there must be someone else. ”

"Madam, why don't you arrest Shan'er and interrogate it for trial, you naturally know." Yanrong treats the Lin family as a family member, how can she not be angry when this kind of thing happens under her nose!

Hearing this, Lin couldn't help but look at Qing Ruxu and said, "Yes, Xu'er, there are people in this mansion who are so deliberately trying to harm me...... I, my heart is beating so suddenly, hurry up and grab Shan'er and ask clearly! ”

"Auntie, don't worry, didn't she go to decoction? It's better to catch the current situation, so that she can't deny it! ”

In the small kitchen, Shan'er was decocting the medicine, and she was thinking about it luckily: The doctor surnamed Leng must not have found the problem in the medicine, otherwise how could she let her come to decoction again, she must have been caught and interrogated a long time ago, since this is the case, she doesn't have to be afraid......

She gently fanned the fan, controlling the heat just right, the aroma of the medicinal herbs slowly seeped out of the medicine cup, diffused to the whole room, for more than a month, Shan'er had become accustomed to the smell of medicine, and even a little drowsy, and did not notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at her outside the window.

After a while, she got up and opened the lid of the medicine cup, and saw that the medicinal juice inside had been fried to five points of water, so she looked up and looked around, and saw that the door of the small kitchen was closed, so she took out something from the purse around her waist and quickly put it into the medicine cup!

Right now!

The door of the small kitchen creaked open, and Qing Ruxu walked in with an indifferent smile on the corner of her mouth, "Shan'er, what are you doing?" ”

Shan'er was almost frightened, but when she thought that the door was closed, the other party probably didn't see her movements, so she pretended to be calm and said, "Slave, slave and maid are decocting medicine for Madame!" ”

Qing Ruxu smiled at her, pointed to the window behind her, and said, "Look there." ”

Shan'er looked back suspiciously, only to see Yanrong's eyes full of anger, staring at her fiercely!

"Slave maid...... The slave maid ......" Shan'er took two steps back in fright and knocked over the small pestle she was sitting on, and let out a clatter.

At this time, Lin came in from outside, looked at Shan'er coldly, and said, "Shan'er, what is in the purse on your waist?" Show me! ”

Shan'er subconsciously covered her purse: "Madam, this is just some spices put by the slave maid." ”

"At this time, I still want to quibble!" Yan Rong walked around the back of the small kitchen and walked in, stepped forward a few steps forward and pulled the purse off Shan'er's waist, opened it and smelled it, and sneered: "What spice, which fragrance is it at this time?" ”

Shan'er's face faded with blood, "What did Sister Yanrong say, this is the spice...... It may be that it has been put for a long time, and there is no fragrance, and the slave is not willing to throw it away......"

"You little hooves are so hard-mouthed!" Yan Rong handed the purse in his hand to Leng Lingyu beside Qing Ruxu, and said, "Miss Leng, please take a look, this is a peony skin?" ”

Hearing the words "peony skin", Shan'er trembled in horror, and when Leng Lingyu nodded, she had already fallen to the ground with her buttocks, and her legs were weak and couldn't stand up!

Yan Rong rushed to her hatefully, grabbed her hair and made her raise her head, and slapped her face fiercely: "Say, who asked you to murder Madame!" ”

"Slaves don't have it, slaves really don't have ......"

Lin's face turned pale, "I have been arrested, and I still don't admit it, it seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!" Yanrong, take her to my room, I want to see how tight her mouth is! ”

Yanrong called two rough envoys and dragged Shan'er all the way to the Lin family's house.

Shan'er's face was full of frightened tears: "Madame spare your life, Madame spare your life!" ”

"Spare your life?" Lin sneered: "You wanted my life before, and you will come to beg me to spare my life again?" Don't you think it's ridiculous? She slapped the table hard: "Don't say it yet!" Who the hell instructed you! ”

Shan'er's face was like ashes, and her mouth was still pleading, "Madam, you don't remember the villain, spare the slave and maid......"

Lin is not a soft-hearted person, so when he heard this, he instructed Yanrong, "Yanrong, this girl has a very hard mouth, give her some color and take a look." ”

Yanrong gave Shan'er's mother-in-law a look, and the mother-in-law suddenly understood that she took off Shan'er's western shoes and socks by dividing it by two. Yan Rong used tongs to pull out a piece of burnt red silver frost charcoal in the charcoal basin and put it on the soles of Shan'er's feet!

Stab! The scorching charcoal fire imprints the fresh skin!

"Ahh Ahhh ”

Shan'er wailed as if she was dying, the big beads of sweat on her forehead slipped down, she twisted her face desperately, her face was extremely hideous, but her legs were pressed by her mother-in-law and couldn't move, the pain of burning her skin and flesh can't be experienced at all!

"Sister Yanrong! Sister Yanrong spares her life!! ”

Yan Rong took away the hot coal, threw it back into the charcoal basin, and said, "Say it! Who instructed you to murder your wife? If you don't, I'll put this hot charcoal on your mouth so that you never speak again! ”

Shan'er's face became more and more pale with fright, and sweat and tears flowed down her cheeks and seeped into her mouth, salty and astringent! "Madame, please have mercy on the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid are also forced to ......"

"You still don't say? Yan Rong! Lin glared at Shan'er coldly, and motioned for Yanrong to make a move. It is impossible for anyone to tolerate the deliberate murder of their own lives, and even the most gentle person will never be easily exposed.

Yan Rong received the order, took out another piece of charcoal from the charcoal basin, and slowly raised it, aiming it at Shan'er's mouth.

"No, don't! No! Shan'er shook her head desperately, but she couldn't stop the charcoal that was getting closer and closer to her face!

Qing Ruxu said: "Shan'er, you must know that you are just a little slave, do you really want to resist the crime of murdering the master mother for others?" If you defend others for their crimes, if you don't get the money, you will lose your life, is it worth it? How many benefits can compare to your life? How old are you? Going to die here? ”

Shan'er trembled more and more when she heard this, and when she saw that the hot charcoal had reached her mouth, she screamed, "I said! I say! Shan'er didn't expect that the lady who was usually silent would be so ruthless, where would she dare to hide it anymore, her voice trembled, almost out of breath, "Yes, it's the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion......"

"Chen Mansion? Which Chan Mansion? Lin was stunned and asked.

"It's the queen's mother's mother......"

"What did you say?" The Lin family was shocked, they didn't expect that the people who returned themselves would actually be related to the Chen Mansion! "Are you sure that person is the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion?"

"Yes, slaves don't admit mistakes." As soon as a sentence came out, Shan'er said smoothly: "The housekeeper of the Chen Mansion is a fellow villager with my father, he found me and asked my wife if it was the prescription of Dr. Shen in the palace, and then asked me to put some peony skin in my wife's medicine, and then he would give me a sum of silver, let me redeem myself and let me have no worries in the second half of my life......"

Lin looked at Qing Ruxu in a daze, as if he didn't understand why the people from the queen's mother's family came to harm her?

Qing Ruxu looked at Shan'er: "What else do you know besides these?" ”

Shan'er shook her head eagerly, crying and begging: "The slave doesn't know anything, she really doesn't know anything!" Madam, the slave is just confused for a while, please take the slave's life! ”

"Do you know what the consequences of adding this peony skin to the medicine?"

Shan'er endured the severe pain and said: "Madame's medicine can't touch cold things, after adding this peony skin, Madame's wind and cold will not only not heal, but also accelerate the weakening of the body, and finally lie on the couch, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion said, and will give me further instructions later......"

"Why! I'm just an inner house woman! What's in it for the person who directs you? Lin was puzzled.

Yan Rong saw that Shan'er didn't know the specific situation, but she was just a villain who was greedy for money and forgot her righteousness, and said coldly: "Madam, let's dispose of this maid first, this kind of person is a scourge to keep it!" ”

Hearing this, Shan'er was stunned! Cried and begged: "Madame, spare your life! Madame's mercy! ”

Lin didn't want to look at her again, and said in disgust: "Pull her out and punish her with thirty boards!" ”

Thirty boards, Shan'er, a weak woman, will definitely die.

"Madame! Madam! The slave is wrong! The slave doesn't dare anymore! ”

Yanrong heard her screaming, so he pulled a rag and stuffed it into her mouth, scolding: "You deserve it!" Drag her out! ”

"Wait a minute!" Qing Ruxu frowned and said: "Uncle, she just said that the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion still has instructions for the next step, if we deal with Shan'er now, wouldn't we startle the snake, it is better to use Shan'er in turn......"

"You mean, the plan is counted?"

"Well, now give Shan'er a little punishment first, and keep the people first."

Lin thought for a while, "That's right, at least wait for your uncle to come back and discuss it carefully, then drag it out to play ten boards first, and then lock it up in the firewood room!" ”

When Shan'er was dragged out, the Lin family still couldn't come back to his senses: "Xu'er, you say, why does someone in the Chen Mansion want my life?" ”

Qing Ruxu frowned, thoughtful, "At first, I didn't think that my aunt didn't have any enemies, and there were no concubines in the house, so how could anyone murder my aunt?" But after Shan'er said that the person who instructed her was the housekeeper of the Chen family, I think I should have guessed the reason! ”

Lin was stunned: "Guessed the reason?" What is it? ”
