Chapter 180

However, what Xiaozhuzi and Qiuyue didn't expect was that Old Master Murong and Old Lady Murong had always had the habit of feeding stray cats and dogs, and their leftovers would be taken outside for those cats and dogs to eat.

When those people saw the dead cats and dogs, they all thought it was very strange, so they went to report to Mrs. Murong, who thought that the cats and dogs froze to death because the weather was too cold, so she asked those families to collect some wood and firewood and grass to make a few nests for those cats and dogs to sleep, but those stray cats and stray dogs still died one after another.

Old Madam Murong personally went to see the corpses of those stray cats and dogs, and found that they did not look like they were frozen to death, but seemed to have been poisoned to death, she was very surprised, she didn't know who was so lacking in virtue and actually poisoned these poor animals.

She asked the housekeeper to drag in two of the cats and dogs' corpses, and pricked their corpses with silver needles to see if they were poisoned, but the silver needles turned black. Seeing this situation, Old Madam Murong was very surprised and very puzzled, because these stray cats and stray dogs are usually very well-behaved, and they don't cause any trouble to others, they just like to run around, who would be so bored and poison them to death?

In the end, Chunhua thought of a possibility, was it because they ate what Old Madam Murong gave, so they were poisoned to death?

Old Madam Murong said: "Probably not, we also ate what they eat, if the food is really poisonous, then we should also feel uncomfortable, why are they the only ones who die?" ”

Chunhua couldn't answer this point, because she couldn't figure out what was going on. However, the subsequent meals were tried with silver needles, and no discoloration was found, which proves that there is nothing wrong with their meals.

Old Madam Murong had to think that some bad people couldn't get used to their good deeds, so they poisoned those poor stray cats and dogs. She asked the family to watch a little when she was okay to see who poisoned her, but those family members stared at it for half a month, and they didn't find any signs, and those stray cats and stray dogs didn't continue to die.

Old Madam Murong left this matter behind. In fact, the reason why those stray cats and stray dogs did not continue to die was because Qiu Yue learned that the death of the cats and dogs attracted the attention of Old Madam Murong, and she hurriedly changed the bag of salt in the kitchen and replaced it with normal salt. She knew they would be careful for a while, and after that time, she would put the bag of salt back down.

After half a month, she saw that the rumor had passed, so she put back the previous bag of poisonous salt, and Old Madam Murong did not continue to test the poison with the silver needle because she had tried it for a long time before, and there was no problem with the food, so she did not continue to test the poison with the silver needle, so she did not find out about their behavior.

But then again, even if they continue to try, they can't try anything, because if the amount of that medicine is very small, the silver needle will not be able to try, and only after accumulation can it reach a certain toxicity, and it can be shown.

However, in order not to let the previous thing happen again, every time Qiu Yue volunteered to feed those stray cats and dogs, and when feeding them, she changed the food and replaced it with the dry food she had prepared in advance, so that they would not die of poisoning and would not attract the attention of others.

Old Master Murong and Old Madam Murong were originally in good health, although sometimes they occasionally coughed and felt dizzy and tinnitus, but they were all minor problems. But after two or three months of eating the poison-doped meal, they felt unwell, began to have frequent heart palpitations, headaches, insomnia, and dizziness from time to time.

They called someone to find a doctor to come and treat them, and the doctor didn't see anything wrong, but said that it might be because they were old and their health was not good, and told them to pay more attention to rest, not to be too tired, not to worry too much, and to take good care of it, and it should be fine.

When Old Master Murong and Old Madam Murong heard this, they thought that there was nothing wrong, so they continued to live as before. After more than a month, the two of them suddenly fell ill one after another, and they were so sick that they couldn't get out of bed.

At this time, the doctor still didn't see any problems, at least he didn't see that they were poisoned, but said that they might be infected with wind cold, so they were treated as infected with wind cold.

But Chunhua was already suspicious, she felt that Master Murong and Old Lady Murong had fallen ill one after another, and the symptoms were the same, which was too unreasonable. Since the last time those stray cats and dogs died, her heart has not been steady, their deaths are still vivid, she thinks this matter is very strange, she thinks that the problem may still be in the food they eat, maybe someone is not paying attention to the food.

However, she tried with a silver needle and still didn't find any problems, but she already believed in this matter in her heart, so she decided to treat them according to poisoning, and without their consent and without asking anyone, she went to the pharmacy to prepare some antidote medicine and came back, boiled two bowls for them, and let them drink.

During the period when Master Murong and Old Lady Murong were ill, Chunhua had been taking care of them inextricably, compared to others, Chunhua was the most loyal and cared about them the most, and others, including Xiaozhuzi, just came to see them every once in a while, greeted them a few words, and then left, indifferent to them for 10 points.

Now Xiaozhuzi has taken charge of the affairs of the family, and it is understandable that they are usually too busy to come, but their living standards have also seriously declined, and sometimes those girls even forget to send them food, or Chunhua personally went to urge them to send the food, and the same is true for boiling medicine.

Later, Chunhua boiled the medicine herself, and she didn't need them, so she didn't have those troubles.

Now because Master Murong and Old Lady Murong have lost power, and their health is not good, they will die at any time, and those subordinates have gathered around Xiao Zhuzi and Qiu Yue, Qiu Yue has been promoted by Xiao Zhuzi to the biggest steward in the family, and she has to listen to her in everything. In order to have a good relationship with Qiu Yue and Xiao Zhuzi, those subordinates can only stammer them, and the people who have offended Qiu Yue before are even more scared every day, for fear that she will retaliate against herself, and the first thing Qiu Yue did when she gained power was to wash it
