The next day, at breakfast, Jiang Zuiyao found that the people who were serving were gone, not even Li Yan's shadow, and only Linghui was alone, and asked curiously: "Why is it just yourself, what about the others?" ”

Linghui put the shrimp soup in front of Jiang Zuiyao and said, "Madame doesn't know yet, right?" Something big happened in the house. ”

This made people even more curious, Jiang Zuiyao asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Linghui looked outside, saw that there was no one, and didn't dare to say it out loud, so she pinched her throat and whispered, "The old lady committed suicide last night." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zuiyao was suddenly startled.

The so-called old lady is Shaojiang's mother, who lives in the south courtyard of the Shao family, rarely asks about family affairs on weekdays, and lives alone in the south courtyard to recuperate, and rarely shows up.

In the year she married into the Shao family, she had never seen this grandmother, and she didn't even know what she looked like.

The old lady is old, if she says that she is okay to die of illness, why did she commit suicide?

Jiang Zuiyao asked, "Why did you commit suicide?" ”

Linghui shook her head: "This slave doesn't know either, I heard that it was discovered by the subordinates who served and got up this morning, and everyone was cold, and they all went to see the excitement." ”

Although Jiang Zuiyao was curious, it had nothing to do with her, so she didn't ask much in surprise.

Just after breakfast, Jiang Zuiyao ordered: "Call those people who watched the excitement back, if there is such a big thing, let's not join in the fun in the East Courtyard." ”

Linghui answered, and as soon as she stepped out of the threshold, she saw a little guy walk in, and after a few words with him, Linghui returned to the house and said, "Madam, the master asked you to go to the South Courtyard." ”

"Me?" , Jiang Zuiyao asked questioningly, not knowing why Shaojiang asked her to go.

I went to the south courtyard with a puzzled heart, there were many people outside the courtyard, including the east courtyard, Jiang Zuiyao saw Li Yan, and said unhappily: "What are you doing here?" ”

Li Yan looked at Jiang Zuiyao's unhappy face, and replied solemnly: "The minions are also curious about why the old lady committed suicide. ”

Jiang Zuiyao said with a cold face: "What's there to see, hurry up and take someone back, be careful of causing trouble." ”

Li Yan responded, and hurriedly called the subordinates of the East Courtyard to leave.

This is Jiang Zuiyao's first time entering the South Courtyard, and the elegant and chic courtyard is planted with all kinds of flowers, clean and spotless, and has a unique elegance.

When I entered the bedroom, I saw that many people were there, Shaojiang, Jiang's, Second Young Master Shao Zifeng, Feng Shi, Third Young Master Shao Zimo, and Eldest Miss Shao Jianning, all of them looked like they had cried, and even Shaojiang's eyes were red and his face was full of sadness.

Jiang Zuiyao looked at the masters of all sizes in the family, as if she was a young lady who had lost her rules.

Glancing at the old lady's body covered with a white cloth on the couch, Jiang Zuiyao said: "If it wasn't for my father sending someone to pass the word, I wouldn't have known that something happened to the old lady, I was confused." ”

Shaojiang shook his head: "You are still pregnant, so it's better to bother you less, and I didn't want to trouble you to come over, but there are some things that you need to see." ”

Jiang Zuiyao was even more confused, thinking about what the old lady had asked her to come to see about her suicide, and asked with doubts: "I don't know what my father asked me to come for?" ”

Shaojiang pointed to the old lady's remains and said, "Zui Yao, you know medical skills, look at how the old lady walked." ”

Jiang Zuiyao seemed to be reluctant and somewhat evasive, but Shaojiang said so, and she could only watch it hard.

After walking a few steps, Jiang kindly reminded: "Zui Yao, the old lady is in a hurry, you have to be careful when you lift the cloth." ”

Jiang Zuiyao didn't know what Jiang meant by this for a while, and the moment she walked over and lifted the white cloth to see the old lady, she was so frightened that she immediately threw the white cloth down, and then took a few steps back.

I saw that the old lady's neck was cut by a sharp weapon, the arteries and blood vessels were directly cut off, and the dried blood stains sprayed stiffly on the face, this scene was frightening.

Jiang Zuiyao was shocked for a while: "Who killed the old lady?" ”

Shaojiang replied with a solemn face: "I have already checked, there were no assassins in the Southern Courtyard last night, and my mother did commit suicide." ”

This is even more incredible, there are thousands of ways to commit suicide, but only self-cutting the throat is the most difficult, riveting enough strength to cut the throat, what kind of determination is this.

Jiang Zuiyao knew that if Shaojiang concluded that the old lady had committed suicide, he would not let her come to see it.

As a healer, he has long been accustomed to seeing blood, and he does not feel afraid.

At this time, Shao Jin Ning cried and knelt on the ground, breaking down and crying: "Grandmother! Grandmother! ”

Jiang Zuiyao glanced at it, Shao Jinning was crying miserably, and in her heartbreak, Shao Zimo comforted her with sadness on her face.

Jiang Zuiyao looked around, and his eyes fell on the medicine bowl on the side of the couch.

I picked up the medicine bowl and smelled it, it was unicorn ointment, and I picked up another medicine bowl and smelled it, it was Jiuxiang Condensing Dew.

Kirin ointment is to cure heart disease, the effect of the medicine is very fast, but the medicine is violent, the dosage must be precise and meticulous, only two taels are allowed to be taken at a time, but where the excess can kill people, as for the nine fragrance condensation dew is not so particular, used to calm the nerves, drink a bowl before going to bed to help sleep.

The two flavors of medicine that seemed to be unrelated made Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but be surprised, because she knew that the unicorn paste and the Nine Fragrance Condensing Divine Dew were very similar in terms of both the taste and the medicinal formula, and it would be difficult to distinguish between them if they were not doctors, and if someone did not have a good intention to murder the old lady and exchange the two flavors of medicine, it would be an extremely terrible thing.

At this point, Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly asked, "Who gave this medicine to the old lady?" ”

A girl in her early twenties walked out of the crowd and said, "It's me." ”

Looking at the strange girl in front of her, Jiang Zuiyao looked curiously.

The little jasper is very ordinary, and it doesn't look like a bad person.

Jiang Shi knew that Jiang Zuiyao didn't know who this person was, so he said: "This is Ning Zhu, a girl who serves the old lady, she was born as a medical woman, and she has been taking care of the old lady for four or five years. ”

Jiang Zuiyao didn't say much, put the two empty medicine bowls in front of Ning Zhu, and asked, "You gave this medicine to the old lady?" ”

Ning Zhu looked at the two empty medicine bowls with a slightly restrained face, and nodded: "Yes, last night, the old lady had a heart disease, so I boiled the unicorn ointment for the old lady to take, as for this nine-spice condensing dew, the old lady couldn't sleep at night, and it was used to calm her nerves and fall asleep." ”

Jiang Zuiyao said tentatively: "Do you know what the consequences will be if these two flavors are confused. ”

In this way, the weight of Ning Zhu is not light, and he replied with a little panic: "I didn't!" I have served the old lady for so many years, and I have never made a mistake, and I will never get confused. ”

Looking at that flustered face, Jiang Zuiyao seemed to have insight into something, and asked again: "When the old lady committed suicide, were you there?" ”

Ning Zhu almost didn't think about it, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm not here, I'll leave after serving the old lady to take the medicine." ”

There is no strong evidence at the moment, judging from her face alone is inevitably a little hasty, Jiang Zuiyao didn't say anything, and under the inadvertent flow of gaze, her eyes suddenly fell on Ning Zhu's shoes, her face changed slightly, but she quickly reined in and chose to be silent.
