Yan Ran blinked, expressing incomprehension: "Yan Yao took the wrong medicine, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Qingxuan hurriedly explained: "Madam said that the medicine was taken from the pharmacy in the house, but the medicine is fake!" The second girl took fake medicine and almost died! ”

Yan Ran's face was solemn and silent.

Since this medicine was purchased by the government, whether someone is ineffective or shoddy, it is difficult for her, the housekeeper, to escape the responsibility of the majesty's lax duty.

Yan Ran put down the gift list irritably, got up and said, "Let's go, go and see what the Wen family has again." ”

Yan Ran came to Jinghua Courtyard, and before she entered the door, she heard Wen's angry roar from a distance: "Go and call that Yan Ran slut over to me!" ”

Yan Ran didn't know that she was scolding herself, walked into the room hurriedly, and asked eagerly, "Mother, how is Yao'er?" ”

When Wen saw Yan Ran, he scolded him all over his face.

Yan Ran ignored Wen, and walked directly into the inner room bypassing her, only to see Yan Yao sitting upright on the edge of the bed.

Yan Yao was in an uncertain mood due to illness, and when she saw Yan Ran, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she was angry, so she picked up the medicine bowl in her hand and threw it over.

Qingxuan and Xian Luo hurriedly supported Yan Ran, and took a few steps back, but they were still splashed by the medicinal juice to the corner of their skirts.

Yan Ran restrained her concern and said sarcastically: "Yao'er is so mentally strong, how can she look like she is dying." ”

When the Wen clan who came later heard this, they were furious, pointed at Yan Ran and shouted, "Yan Ran, you dare to curse Yao'er?!" ”

Yan Ran looked at Wen with a calm look and asked rhetorically, "Mother, Yao'er took the wrong medicine and almost died, isn't this what you said?" ”

When Yan Yao heard this, her already unstable emotions erupted again, screaming and trying to pounce on her, before several maids pulled her back.

Wen was also choked by Yan Ran, and his heart and liver trembled.

She unceremoniously pushed Yan Ran out and closed the door of the inner room again, so as not to affect Yan Yao's rest.

Wen sat down in anger, looked at Yan Ran with an unkind face, and said, "Speaking of Yao'er drinking the wrong medicine, it's still thanks to you!" The Wujiapi in the pharmacy is mixed with cheap Xiangjiapi, Xiangjiapi is poisonous, Yao'er is almost poisoned, you have to give me an explanation! ”

Xiangjiapi is similar in appearance to Wujiapi, and it is possible to get confused.

However, although Xiangjiapi is poisonous, it is not very toxic and not fatal.

Judging from the medicine bowl that Yan Yao had just smashed, it was difficult to tell whether she had drunk the medicine, and it was unknown whether there was really fragrant skin in the medicine.

Yan Ran knew very well that the Wen family was just using excuses to find fault.

Yan Ran simply didn't glance at the medicinal herbs on the table, but wondered, "What does my mother want me to explain?" ”

Wen sneered: "Yan Ran, you don't pretend to be stupid with me!" Isn't it your dereliction of duty that the pharmacy has been shoddy since you beat your housekeeper? ”

Yan Ran quietly retorted to the army: "The pharmacy in the house is full of precious medicinal materials for warming and replenishing the body, if you want to prescribe the right medicine, you should also ask the doctor to diagnose and prescribe it, and go to the pharmacy outside to grab the medicine." Mother grabbed medicine for Yao'er, but why did she catch it at the pharmacy? ”

Wen Shi said confidently: "The matter is urgent, this herb is just missing in the prescription used by Yao'er today, and it is time-consuming and laborious to buy it alone, so what's wrong with me going to the pharmacy to get it?" ”

Wen's explanation was very reasonable, Yan Ran couldn't find fault, so he said: "My housekeeper is only half a month, and I have never purchased medicinal materials. This shoddy medicinal material may have been there before, but why is it my fault? ”

Wen seemed to have been prepared, and just waiting for Yan Ran's words, he immediately showed a sinister and smug smile, and said confidently: "Okay, then check the purchase records of the pharmacy!" ”

Mama Zhang, who was in charge of the pharmacy, was soon brought over, and she waited anxiously by presenting a booklet recording the details of the pharmacy's purchase and use with a worried face.

Wen only glanced at it, then threw the booklet in front of Yan Ran, and sneered: "Look for yourself, you just entered a batch of medicinal materials on the fifteenth day of this month, and it was after your housekeeper, what else do you have to say?" ”

Yan Ran glanced at it, put down the booklet, and asked calmly: "Mama Zhang, Steward Yan has always been in charge of the procurement in the house." If you want to buy medicinal herbs, you should first explain it to me, and after my approval, it will be purchased by Steward Yan. But you have not told me about it, so how did you buy this herb, and where did you get the money? ”

Mama Zhang nervously wiped the beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, and replied cautiously: "Back to the eldest girl, the lord and the lady are sympathetic, so let the pharmacy always have some common medicinal materials, such as medicinal materials to dispel heat and wind and cold." In this way, once people have a headache and brain fever, they can go to the pharmacy to get some medicine to eat, which not only saves money, but also does not delay the work.

Therefore, the pharmacy has always kept a separate reserve money to fill in the missing herbs in a timely manner. This time, when the second girl lingered on the sickbed for a long time, there was a great demand for medicinal materials, and occasionally used medicinal materials in the pharmacy. On that day, the old slave saw that several medicinal herbs had been used up, so he filled some with spare money. ”

Yan Ran nodded, and asked again, "Then you didn't need to show your wife when you bought medicinal herbs in the past?" ”

Mama Zhang was stunned, hurriedly knelt down, and explained: "How dare the old slave make decisions without authorization, naturally they are all reported!" However, this time, because the lady and the eldest girl handed over the power of management, the old slave failed to report it in time! All this is the fault of the old slave, please punish the lady and the eldest girl! ”

In fact, Mama Zhang had already reported the purchase of medicinal materials to Wen's.

But now Wen insisted that he didn't know, intending to throw this responsibility on Yan Ran.

Where did Mama Zhang dare to offend the Wen family, she could only take this fault on herself.

But Mama Zhang is not stupid, she defended herself again: "However, as the eldest girl said, the procurement has always been the responsibility of Steward Yan, so this is an inferior matter, the old slave really doesn't know, and please ask the lady and the eldest girl to find out!" ”

Yan Ran sighed secretly in her heart, she could only say that the Wen family was too treacherous.

If Yan Ran didn't want to take the responsibility of this dereliction of duty, she would inevitably investigate this shoddy matter to the end.

But if the investigation continues, I am afraid that it will be widely implicated and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Needless to say, Mama Zhang, who has been involved, has nothing to do with it, but she didn't report it for the sake of helping Mama Zhang carry private goods, and she is suspected of filling her private pockets with shoddy goods.

Steward Yan is a person of Master Yan, although he is called a butler and is also sent by the Wen family, he is in charge of all the procurement in the house.

Master Yan handed over such a heavy task to Steward Yan, firstly, to give him an errand that could make oil and water to win people's hearts, and secondly, to let him contain the Wen family, so as not to cover the sky with Wen's hand.

Therefore, if Yan Ran moves Steward Yan, it is equivalent to provoking Master Yan.

And it can also be seen from Mama Zhang's unhesitating throwing the pot on Steward Yan's body that the personal relationship between the two is not deep.

Therefore, in the process of Steward Yan helping Mama Zhang to procure this matter privately, there may be other people involved.

If you continue to track down layer by layer, maybe the entire Yan Mansion will be uprooted.

After all, there are so many people in the house, who doesn't have a little privacy, and the relationship is naturally intertwined, how can it be sorted out.

Yan Ran had no greed for the power of the Yan Mansion's stewardship, so she didn't care about these things.

She didn't want to offend everyone in order to calculate the Wen family, it was really not worth it.

So in any case, she can't pursue this matter, so she can only bear the responsibility for this negligence.

Yan Ran also admitted that Wen's methods this time were really good, but so what, it couldn't deal any blow to her at all.

Yan Ran got up and made a look of shame, and blamed herself: "Mother, my daughter is still young and has no experience in housekeeping, so there was such a big mistake, and she almost affected Yao'er, so she really has no shame to face." The daughter knew that she was not capable enough, so she was very sorry, and asked her mother to take back the right to be a housekeeper! ”

"You, what did you say?"

Listening to Yan Ran's previous remarks, Wen still felt happy in his heart.

But when she listened, she was dumbfounded.

Wen felt that since Yan Ran was willing to spend so much money to fill the shortfall, it must be because she wanted to work against Wen, so she was happy to take over her housekeeping power.

Then even if Yan Ran only relies on one ambition, he will never give up halfway and make the Wen family proud.

Wen relied on this to set this trap for Yan Ran.

But she did a lot of calculations, but she never thought that Yan Ran would choose the third way - simply pick and choose.

Wen just wanted to add some blockage to Yan Ran, if she went along with her wishes to make things bigger, offend everyone in the house, and completely lose people's hearts, of course it would be better.

Even if Yan Ran swallowed this secret loss smartly, it would at least affect her mood, and maybe she would mess up the New Year's banquet and New Year's gifts.

Wen's idea is excellent, but she never wanted to take back the stewardship so early!

Although the Wen family has swallowed the shop dividends filled by Yan Ran, the money for the New Year has not yet been settled.

If Wen took over the stewardship at this time, she would have to spit out the hard-won silver, and she would be reluctant.

Wen's heart was dripping blood, and the green tendons on his forehead were throbbing.

But she just picked on Yan Ran's mistake and asked her to express her position, and now that people have admitted their mistakes and proposed solutions, she can't immediately change her words and say that it's okay and slap herself in the face, right?

As a result, Wen could only watch Yan Ran leave with a cloudy and uncertain expression.

Walking on the road, Qingxuan said worriedly: "Girl, now that you have returned the housekeeping rights to the Wen family, isn't our plan in vain, and we have taken out so much silver in vain?" ”

Yan Ran said confidently: "Don't worry, the Wen family will not take back the stewardship at this time." ”

Yan Ran said, turned her feet, and said, "Let's go, take the night pearl that I took out from the library yesterday and send it to Hongfu Courtyard." ”
