Chapter 293: Who is behind the scenes

Shen Nianzhen originally wanted to wait until the evening to talk to Shen Nianzhu, such a big happy event happened in the Shen family, she decided to stay at her mother's house for a few days.

Unexpectedly, before it could be night, something happened.

Liao Fangru's son, the child who was only one day old, suddenly began to vomit milk after the guests left in the afternoon, and the doctor in the house was helpless: "Such a young child is not easy to use medicine!" ”

Originally, Liao Fangru was still covering up this matter, not wanting Shen Nianzhen and Mrs. Shen to worry, but seeing that the child was gradually failing, she couldn't hold back anymore, howled and cried, and immediately attracted everyone.

Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen were the last to rush over, and after seeing the child for the first time, she immediately made a decision: "Go find my master immediately!" Maybe the child can still be saved! ”

"Master? Be...... Doctor Ge? Liao Fangru paused slightly and cried and asked.

"yes, that's him." Shen Nianzhen nodded: "But Your Majesty ordered that the master should not step into Shangjing for the rest of his life, otherwise he would be beheaded immediately, and now the top priority is that I and the prince immediately take this child to my master and ask him to rescue the child." “

"It's me who goes with Brother Shen, and you stay at home." Rong Chen said: "You are still pregnant, how can you withstand the bumps back and forth, you just stay at home." ”

"It's fine." Shen Nianzhen thought for a moment and agreed: "You must be careful on the road." “

"Okay." Rong Chen nodded.

"I'll go too!" Liao Fangru said: "I'll go with you with the child!" What are the symptoms of the child's day, I am the one who knows best! ”

"But you've just given birth! The body is still very weak, how can it withstand the fatigue. Shen Nianzhen immediately shook his head when he heard this.

"yes, yes." The rest of the Shen family also helped to persuade, and the old lady Shen said: "Fangru, don't go, stay at home and wait for the news, why don't you go?" First, she is pregnant and can't stand bumps, and secondly, she is afraid of affecting the speed of the journey, if you are in the carriage, can the speed be fast? Now the time is urgent, and the child can't be delayed! ”

As soon as the words fell, Mama Zhou walked in from outside: "Old lady, prince, the carriage is ready and ready to set off at any time." ”

Liao Fangru heard that she was holding the child, tears kept rolling in her eyes, and after a while, she made a difficult decision to hand over the child to Shen Chong, and said with tears in her eyes: "Husband, you must let him be safe, otherwise he will ......"

She couldn't go on crying.

"Madam, don't worry, I will do my best to save Cong'er." Shen nodded vigorously: "If you can't, I'll come to see you!" ”

The child was born less than a day ago, and he had already thought of the name.

It can be seen that he loves this child.

"What is this husband talking about......" Liao Fangru cried and was helpless when she heard this.

But it really couldn't be delayed any longer, Shen Chong held the child in his arms, wrapped in a thick cloak, took Shen Yunlan and Rong Chen, and left in a hurry.

Shen Nianzhen had been standing on the steps, watching their figures move away.

Everyone waited anxiously and uncomfortably in the room.

Shen Nian is really calm, she is not like the old lady Shen who is in a hurry to get up, the more nervous and worried, the clearer her thoughts, since the child has already gone for treatment, then she will seize the time to investigate, what is going on!

The two nurses who took care of the child today and breastfed the child were called in, and Shen Nianzhen asked directly: "The child had an accident, which of you found out first?" ”

"Back to the princess, it was Madame who found out, because since Madame woke up, she has been guarding every inch and not letting others approach." One of the nurses said.

The other nurse nodded hurriedly: "That's it!" ”

The two of them were afraid that this matter would have something to do with them, so they desperately tried to clear it up.

Shen Nianzhen didn't continue to ask, but said in a homely manner: "What have you all done in the mansion today?" One by one, she said that this princess was not in a hurry. “

Hearing this, the two nurses glanced at each other and did not say a word.

"What? What did you two do, can't this princess ask? Shen Nianzhen said lightly: "Or do you look down on me, and you have to let my grandmother interrogate herself before you are willing to reply?" ”

"Back to Mrs., the slave doesn't dare!" When the two grandmothers heard this, their faces turned pale with fright.

Although Shen Nianzhen is a married daughter, she has a respected status and is a princess, which is very valued by Mrs. Shen, in this Shen family, what she says is no different from Mrs. Shen.

"Back to the princess, it's like this, after the slave and maid fed the child early this morning, they went back to the house to rest for more than an hour, and then had lunch......"

"The slave is about ...... like her"

"What did you have for lunch?" Shen Nianzhen asked.

What did you have for lunch? The princess actually asked so carefully!

"You are the nurse of the child, and what you eat produces milk, and the milk is eaten by the child, which is naturally related to it." Shen Nianzhen patiently explained.

It turned out that this was the case, and the two grandmothers nodded hurriedly when they heard this, and then replied: "The slave maid eats stewed pork ribs made in the small kitchen at noon, stewed pigeon soup, and a big bowl of wine-stuffed mash......

These things all sound normal.

“…… There was also a bowl of bird's nest porridge sent by Mrs. Shen, which was said to be a good thing, and the slaves and maids drank it separately. “

Shen Nianzhen's face immediately changed when he heard this.

"What did you say?" She asked in a deep voice, "Has my third aunt been to the kitchen today?" And I brought you food? “

"yes, is there a problem?" The two nurses said with a surprised face when they heard this: "The third lady is your own family, so it is impossible to drug the food." “

Speaking of this, the two of them were suddenly startled.

Maybe there's something wrong with this bird's nest porridge! After all, the child really had an accident......

"Don't panic or be afraid, you two." Shen Nianzhen asked in a deep voice, "Have you finished drinking the bird's nest porridge?" Where is the bowl after drinking? Was it taken away by the kitchen man? “

"The porridge is finished, but the dishes and chopsticks are still in the room, so they shouldn't have been collected." The two nurses hurriedly said: "Because the porridge was delivered alone, not with the meals in the big kitchen, the kitchen people didn't come to collect it." ”

"Go get it!" Shen Nianzhen immediately ordered.

Mama Zhou left in response.

Soon, two blue and white porcelain bowls stained with rice stains were fetched.

Shen Nianzhen glanced at the doctor on the side.

The doctor immediately stepped forward and took out a silver needle to begin testing the poison.

Now that the stains had dried, the doctor added a little water to the bottom of the bowl, melted it with a spoon, and put in the silver needle.

After a few moments, the silver needle's eyes slowly turned black.

When the two nurses saw this, their faces immediately turned pale with fright: "It's really poisonous!" It's really toxic! But why...... What's wrong with the kids, but we don't? ”

As soon as the words fell, the two of them suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell down with convulsions.

It scared everyone.

The doctors hurriedly stepped forward to help rescue, and they were busy in the dark.

It was easy to calm down the two grandmothers, and Shen Nianzhen commanded in a deep voice: "Go!" Call the third aunt to me! ”

There was anger in her voice.

Because this matter actually involved the Ding family, she didn't expect it at all.

What reason does Ding have to hurt Liao Fangru's child? What does she get?

Shen Nianzhen couldn't figure it out at all.

"Miss the real girl! Is it really your third aunt's hand? When Mrs. Shen got the news, she forced herself out of the back room, and the look on her face was very ugly.

"The evidence shows that it has a relationship with the third aunt." When Shen Nianzhen heard this, he said with a complicated expression: "But whether it's her or not, it's still uncertain." ”

"It must be her!" Old Lady Shen slapped the table fiercely, and said with disgust and hatred on her face: "She gave birth to several sons before she gave birth to a son, but she was thin and sick!" Fang Ru was lucky, the firstborn was a boy, she was very jealous, so she poisoned her! It's so hateful! ”

"If it's just for this reason, not so!"

Shen Nianzhen shook his head lightly when he heard this, and said, "The third aunt may be jealous of Aunt Fangru, but I don't believe that she will be the one who poisoned her, there must be something hidden here." ”

As he was talking, someone outside reported that the third lady Ding was here.

"Call her in!" Old Lady Shen said angrily.

"Yes, old lady."

After a while, Ding held the child and led Shen Nianzhu to walk in from outside, with a sad look on his face, after entering the house, he knelt down in front of Mrs. Shen without saying a word, and said: "Old lady, I'm sorry, my daughter-in-law came to confess her mistake to you." ”

"What do you admit is wrong?" Old Lady Shen snorted, "People like you will realize their mistakes? ”

"Yes."

Ding Shi took a deep breath when he heard this, and said slowly: "Originally, I didn't have the courage to confess all this to the old lady, but Zhu'er has been persuading me, and she persuaded me for a whole afternoon, and I finally figured it out, so come and confess to the old lady, the daughter-in-law should not be jealous of the chin peas in the diet of the eldest daughter-in-law's nurse." ”

"Croton? You're just laying croton? ”

When Old Lady Shen heard this, she snorted coldly, grabbed the blackened silver needle with a disgusted face, and threw it in front of Ding: "See for yourself!" That's poisonous! The child is unconscious, convulsive, and I don't know if I can be saved! Even the two nurses have just fallen ill! What else do you have to say! “

"Poisonous? Did the old lady say that her daughter-in-law poisoned the nurse's diet? And then mutilate the children of the old family? When Ding Shi heard this, her expression changed drastically, and her face suddenly became pale, and she shook her head desperately to explain: "No! Not me! I never wanted to poison someone! I didn't! ”

"The facts are there, what else do you have to justify!" Old Mrs. Shen didn't want to argue anymore, when the matter came to this point, she thought that she had found out the truth, so she waved her hand and said expressionlessly: "Come on, take her down for me!" Send it to the official now! Murder pays for life, it is justified! ”

"Grandmother, wait."

Shen Nianzhen interrupted her at the right time, then looked at the Ding family and asked softly: "Third aunt, I don't believe that you will harm my brother, are you really not poisoned?" ”

"Miss!" When Ding heard this, he immediately burst into tears.

"I admit that I am jealous of my sister-in-law, she remarried, but she can have a man in one fell swoop, without having to bear so much pain and cold eyes I have suffered, and even easily get the love of the old lady, but I can't, today, seeing all of you so happy, I am not angry for a while, and my mind goes to the extreme......"

"You poisoned the food?" Old Lady Shen said coldly.

"Nope! Not me! Ding hurriedly said: "I just played croton!" I just want the child to be thin for a few days, and I want the eldest lady and the old lady to be uncomfortable......"

When Shen Nianzhen heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Third aunt, you are also a mother who has raised three children, how can you not know that the newborn child is very delicate, and if you keep diarrhea, it is likely to die! Although your methods are gentle and non-toxic, they are just as vicious in your heart! Don't tell me you didn't think it would happen! You've really disappointed me! ”

When Ding heard this, his face was already pale and pale.

She wanted to defend herself, but she opened her mouth weakly, but she couldn't say a word.

After all, she really gave croton, and there was a moment when the words that Shen Nianzhen said crossed in her mind, but she quickly forgot them.

She thought that the child was so white and fat, it shouldn't be.

Who would have thought that in addition to Croton, there was also poison in that porridge! Now, even if she jumps into the Yellow River, she can't wash it out!

"Nian Zhen! You have to trust me! I really didn't mean to kill your brother! I really don't! Ding burst into tears and kept apologizing: "I just want a little revenge......"

Before she could finish speaking, a man suddenly rushed over and slammed her to the ground.

The person who came almost fell herself, but it was Liao Fangru, her face was pale, but her eyes were full of resentment when she looked at Ding.

"Madame!" The maids hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Shen Nianzhen also stood up in surprise and asked with concern, "Auntie, why did you come out?" Come in and lie down, I will make the decision for you in this matter, and I will definitely not let the murderer go, you can rest assured. ”

Liao Fangru didn't look at her, and her eyes were only staring at Ding.

Ding was looked at by this fierce gaze, and almost fainted.

She had never seen Liao Fangru's fierce eyes before!

It turns out that a person is angry to the extreme, even if it is a docile white rabbit, he will turn into a fierce hungry wolf!

"I'll just ask you, did you poison that porridge? My child is not your fault! Liao Fangru stared at Ding for a moment, and asked word by word.

Shen Nianzhu on the side hurriedly said: "Big aunt! My mother just laid croton, she doesn't have such a vicious mind to harm your child! Even if we hurt him, what do we get? There is no benefit at all! ”

"I'm not asking about you! It's your mother! Shut up! Liao Fangru said coldly.

Shen Nianzhu opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but Shen Nianzhen took her hand and shook her head lightly.

Under the eyes of everyone, Ding took a deep breath, wiped away the tears on his face, looked at Liao Fangru and said: "I didn't poison it, just put a little bit of croton, I want your child to have diarrhea, I admit that I am jealous of you, if you want me to pay for your son's life because of this, I have nothing to say." But I will never admit to poisoning! ”

"Okay." Liao Fangru nodded when she heard this, turned her head, and didn't look at her again, but turned her head to look at Shen Nianzhu: "Can you continue to investigate?" ”

"What else is being investigated? Isn't she the murderer! Old Lady Shen said on the side.

"Grandmother, I don't think the murderer is the third aunt."

Shen Nianzhen looked at her and shook his head, and said, "The matter of the third aunt can be talked about later, but if you don't investigate, you won't be able to get out of the person behind the scenes!" This person has a vicious mind and poisons a newborn baby, on the one hand, it can make everyone in the Shen family grieve, and on the other hand, it can separate the relationship between the big house and the third room, causing the two families to break up, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone! ”

"This person is so bad, she must be found!"

"Another point, if it is really my mother who drugged my brother, then it is absolutely impossible for my sister, the Su family and the Shen family to get closer." Shen Nianzhu added: "This person is also trying to separate the Shen family and the Su family!" ”

"That's right! It's possible! Shen Nianzhen nodded.

Old Mrs. Shen was confused.

Didn't you say that children were poisoned? Why is it so far?

Shen Nianzhen didn't bother to explain to her, and immediately sent someone to detain all the subordinates who had entered and exited Chunhui Courtyard today, as well as Songtao Courtyard, as well as all the cooks and helpers in the kitchen, and prepared to interrogate them one by one.

Even if it is poisoned, it can never be traced.

She's got to catch that mole!

"Princess, old lady, no! Aunt Zhang in the kitchen committed suicide! Found dead in the kitchen! Not long after the order was issued, someone came in to report it.

"What? Aunt Zhang is dead? Mama Zhou was taken aback, turned her head and involuntarily glanced at Ding.

This Aunt Zhang was originally recommended by the Ding family to enter the house and assigned to the kitchen as a helper.

Now, Ding himself confessed to Croton, but Aunt Zhang, whom she recommended, died violently, no matter how you look at it, it looks like committing suicide in fear of sin!

"Humph! What else do you have to say now! Old Lady Shen immediately turned her head to look at Ding, and said coldly: "Someone is coming, ......

"Grandmother." Shen Nianzhen stopped her.

Then he looked at Ding, whose face was slightly pale, and asked in a deep voice: "Third aunt, how many people do you know that Aunt Zhang recommended you to enter the house?"

"Everyone in this mansion knows ......," Ding replied, biting his lip.

"Okay, I see." Shen Nianzhen nodded, and ordered to investigate again, she was going to take a look at Aunt Zhang's body in person.

"Nianzhen, you're pregnant, don't go." Liao Fangru ninja was heartbroken and worried, as well as the deep torment, and persuaded her: "

Unlucky. “

"Okay." Shen Nianzhen thought about it for a while, and then agreed.

Ding Shi saw that she kept commanding, but she didn't say a word about herself, and she was very grateful in her heart.

She couldn't help but ask, "Nianzhen, do you really believe it...... Didn't I send someone to kill Aunt Zhang? ”
