Mrs. Xu's eyes immediately lit up, she stood up excitedly, wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, and said to the door: "Xue Gongzi, you are here, hurry up and show my master." ”

Gu Youan and Du Lan came in later, Mrs. Xu frowned slightly, seeing that the two of them had extraordinary temperaments, presumably this was the friend that her son said, Mrs. Xu's eyes fell on Du Lan, who was wearing a rusty red jacket, and looked at her quietly.

Xu Hening bowed his hand to the three of them, nodded to Xue Yan nervously, and motioned for Xue Yan to hurry up and treat his father. Xue Yan's medical skills are excellent, as long as he is there, Xu Hening and Mrs. Xu's hearts are instantly much more steady.

Without saying much, Xue Yan hurriedly walked to the bed to check the pulse of Master Xu, Xu Hening, and Mrs. Xu stood aside nervously.

Xue Yan took out the silver needle and hung it above Master Xu's head, but after a moment, Master Xu opened his eyes.

Xu Hening opened his mouth wide in surprise, his gratitude was overflowing, Xue Yan quickly took out a pill and poured it into Master Xu's mouth, and after a while, Master Xu's breath stabilized a little.

"Brother Hening, you come out with me, I will prescribe some medicine for my uncle, aunt, please feed my uncle some water to drink."

Mrs. Xu nodded excitedly: "Thank you Xue Gongzi, thank you Xue Gongzi." ”

Xue Yan and Xu Hening came out, and Du Lan comforted Mrs. Xu and came out with a few words.

"Brother Xue Yan, thank you for coming in time, great kindness, Brother Xu, I can't repay it." Xu Hening looked grateful.

Xue Yan frowned, looked at Xu Hening deeply and said, "Brother Hening doesn't need to say much, my uncle has always been tough, why did he suddenly fall ill in bed?" ”

"Well, I don't think my father's illness came suddenly." Xu Hening glanced at Du Lan apologetically, and said, "Brother Xue already knows that food is heaven, although my father doesn't say it, but he understands in his heart that it was Heming who did such things that hurt others and himself because he lost his conscience." A few days ago, he didn't think about tea and food for the sake of Heming, although the matter has been resolved later, but his appetite is not as good as before, plus the snow and cold weather in the past few days,"

Xue Yan hasn't known Xu Hening for a day or two, his half-brother has always been unscrupulous, this kind of person will definitely be a scourge in the future, he raised his hand and patted Xu Hening's shoulder: "Brother Hening, there is something I have to tell you." ”

Xu Hening saw Xue Yan's serious face, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart: "Brother Xue Yan, please speak." ”

"I think my uncle's illness is probably not so simple, he has been in the business world since he was a child, and he has never seen any strong winds and waves, and his ability to bear it must not be measured by ordinary people, so he will not be depressed because of Heming, which will cause his body and bones to deteriorate."

Xu Hening looked at him in shock, did Brother Xue Yan mean anything else's words? It stands to reason that his father has always been tough, and his mother takes care of his father's diet, and some nourishing products are perennial.

Gu Youan and Du Lan glanced at each other, and they also had a guess in their hearts.

He asked tremblingly: "Brother Xue Yan, it's time for this, don't give me dumb riddles, please say anything directly." ”

"Who served my uncle before he fell ill? I want to check his recent diet and daily life, don't be nervous, I'm just guessing, let's not jump to conclusions until we get the right conclusion. Xue Yan comforted.

Even though Xue Yan didn't say it explicitly, Xu Hening was still suspicious in his heart, "Before my father got sick, he was always served by the maids in the house, and at night, in addition to the accounts in the study, he slept with my mother, do you want to check the maids next to my father?" ”

Xue Yan pondered for a moment, Mrs. Xu had no way of harming Master Xu, and Master Xu fell ill shortly after Xu Heming was released from prison, so if his father's illness was really manipulated, then this matter had something to do with Xu Heming's side.

"Brother Xue Yan, can you notice anything unusual?" Xu Hening asked anxiously on the side.

Du Lan stretched out his hand and touched his arm, and comforted him softly: "Brother Xu, don't worry, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, you calmly think about it, what are your uncle's dietary preferences before his illness." ”

Xue Yan glanced at Du Lan approvingly, "Du Lan is right, my uncle's illness is abnormal, I checked his pulse just now, and found that he was not caused by the evil cold entering his body, but as if he had eaten something by mistake." ”

"Ingested?" Xu Hening's eyes widened, "Brother Xue Yan, how is this possible, our family eats at the same table, and my father didn't open a small stove." ”

"Think about it again."

"If you want to talk about my father's eating habits, he likes to drink tea when he is settling accounts, and he always says that drinking tea is refreshing."

"Tea? Take me to check it out right away. ”

Hearing this, Xu Hening's eyes widened suddenly, he refused to delay, and immediately took Xue Yan to his father's study, followed by Gu Youan and Du Lan.

Xu Hening walked quickly to the desk, opened the tea can, and handed it to Xue Yan, who pinched the tea leaves with his hands and sniffed and smelled, looked and looked. Love Me eBook

Xu Hening, Gu Youan, and Duran were nervously waiting for the results on the side.

After a long time, Xue Yan spread the tea leaves, and when he was disappointed, he suddenly caught a glimpse of some black powder faintly between his fingers, and he immediately frowned, "Hening, the Longjing tea that my uncle drank shouldn't fall into pieces, right?" ”

Xu Hening also tightened his brows: "Naturally, my father is particular about drinking tea, and what he drinks is a high-grade Longjing, not to mention slag, even broken leaves are impossible, Brother Xue Yan, what are these things?" ”

Xue Yan looked solemn, washed the black powder into the water, and after a while, the color of the water turned brown, and ordinary people couldn't see the difference with tea at all, but Xue Yan already had suspicions in his heart, only to see him close to his nose and sniff hard, and suddenly his eyes widened in surprise.

"This is drunken cordyceps, which grows in the wilderness, people will get drunk after eating it by mistake, dry it and grind it to the end, mix it with tea and stir-fry, and roll it into the tea leaves, which is difficult for ordinary people to detect. As the name suggests, drunken cordyceps can make people sleep like drunk for a day and a night after occasionally ingesting it, but if you take it for several days in a row, the consequences will be quite serious, such as being hit by wind and cold, dizziness and tinnitus, and severe cases will kill people. ”

...... Silence, the air in the room seemed to freeze, and suddenly, Xu Hening clenched his fists and hammered them the table.

His muscles jumped violently, and there was a haze in his eyes, "Who is going to kill my father, I will definitely let him be buried with him if I find out!" ”

"This is easy to do, as long as you find out where the tea came from and who put it in your uncle's study, you can find out who the murderer is."

Without waiting for Xue Yan to finish speaking, Xu Hening was already like a gust of wind, and walked quickly to Master Xu's room, Xue Yan and Du Lan hurriedly followed.

Bang......

The door was rudely kicked open by him, "Mother, call all the maids in your room, I want to interrogate them one by one, who is harboring evil intentions and wants to frame my father." ”

"What?" Mrs. Xu glanced at Master Xu, who had just fallen asleep, and motioned to Xu Hening to be quieter and not to disturb his father. "What do you mean, someone harmed your father?"

"That's right! In addition to him and you, the key to my father's study can be moved, and the rest can only be obtained by a personal maid who is familiar with your life. ”

Personal maid, as soon as Xu Hening said it, Mrs. Xu knew who it was, and her face was pale: "Go, find Chun Niang, Mrs. Ben is going to ask her, how do we treat her badly on weekdays, she actually poisoned the master." ”

The old mother quickly found Chun Niang, and Chun Niang still looked unaware and ignorant, and saluted Mrs. as usual after coming in.

"Madame, you look for me."

Mrs. Xu was furious, rushed forward and slapped her in the face: "You, say, when did you steal the key to the master's study?" And who instructed you to do this? ”

"Madame, why do you ask? The slave doesn't understand what you're saying......" Chun Niang covered her cheeks and shook her head innocently.

"Okay, don't cry if you don't see the coffin, come here, serve me in the family law, I will fight until you recruit you."

After speaking, Mrs. Xu ordered the old mother next to her to search Chunniang's bedroom.

Chunniang is a hard bone, she was beaten to the point of dying, and she didn't admit it, and after a while, the old mother came in with a shoe and broke in, shouting in panic: "Madam, a silver ticket was found in this shoe." ”

As she spoke, the old mother buckled out the insoles of the embroidered shoes and threw them on the ground, and took out a neat stack of one hundred taels of silver tickets from the shoehorn, "Madam! ”

Chun Niang felt that the hiding was seamless, but she didn't want the old mother to be dirty and smelly, and even searched the shoes that were thrown in the wooden basin after stepping on dog feces and waiting to be washed.

"Come on, send Chun Niang to the official mansion!" Mrs. Xu commanded sharply, "I want her to pay for her life." ”

Chunniang knelt down with a thud and prostrate on the ground: "Madame spare her life, madam, the slave maid is also a ghost, it was all instructed by the second young lady, and the slave and maid don't know what she is doing with the key to the master's study." The slave doesn't know. ”

"Dare to be a slave, dare to be hard at the end of your life, don't you know? Don't you know that the old man is now sick and dying in bed? What is your heart made of? My lord and I treat you very well on weekdays, but you actually killed your lord for a hundred taels of silver, where is your conscience? Mrs. Xu was in pain, she never thought that the most trusted subordinate around her would betray them.

"Madam, the slave and maid really don't know that this move will harm the master, the slave and the maid are not intentional, they are all young ladies, it is the young lady who is looking for the slave and the maid, saying that the second son is filial to the lord and tired, and specially entrusted someone to buy Longjing tea from afar to relieve the lord's fatigue, if the slave and maid have half a lie, the slave and the maid will be hit by five thunders from the sky, and the slave and the maid's family will not die well. Madam, I beg you, don't send slaves and maids to see officials. ”

Mrs. Xu was angry for a while, thinking that Xu Heming had experienced the pain of prison, and the husband and wife would keep to themselves in the house, but they never thought that Xu Heming and Gu Chunyan, the husband and wife, were ambitious and bold, and they actually attacked their father.

"Hening, you go and order someone to bring the second son, the second young lady, and I will interrogate her personally." Mrs. Xu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, she had long known that Gu Chunyan, a country woman, was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she was afraid that she would marry into the mansion and make small moves behind her back, and she had been sending people to spy on her secretly, but she was still negligent, so that they could take advantage of it in the name of honoring their father and mother.
