Chapter 308: Actually Poisoned Her
But when she thought about it, it was not right, with Li Jiecheng's age, an old fox who had been an official in the court for so many years, no matter how stupid he was, he would not be stupid enough to poison her in his own home.
"It's so fragrant, and it looks good at the color." Mu Yingbao didn't put the white fungus in the spoon into her mouth, but put it to her nose and sniffed it, praising it.
"The cook who made the soup was brought by my mother's family, and Mrs. Xue liked it, so I sent Mrs. Xue to call it." Pan said immediately.
Mu Yingbao looked up and smiled; "Thank you Madame for your kindness, although I am not a gentleman, I also know that I don't want to be loved."
As she spoke, she made a gesture to eat the white fungus in the spoon, but her eyes focused on a few of the people present.
The woman in her forties was visibly nervous.
Mu Yingbao was afraid that she was wrong, and wanted to confirm it, so she moved the spoon away again and said to Pan; "Madame, do you know that this white fungus is the best beauty tonic in our woman's family."
Sure enough, when the woman saw that she hadn't eaten, she was disappointed.
"Ma'am, you can eat a bowl too." The girl who came in with something looked at Pan Shi distressedly and said.
Pan saw that there was still more than half of the bowl, so he nodded, his son was saved, relieved, and had an appetite, and he also thought that he should take care of his body and take good care of his son's recovery.
Mu Yingbao noticed that when the woman heard that the girl asked Pan to eat some white fungus soup, she frowned slightly, and it was obvious that she didn't want Pan to eat it.
Mu Yingbao continued to appreciate the bowl of white fungus soup in her hand, scooped it up with a spoon and poured it back, scooped it up again and poured it back again.
Seeing the woman tossing back and forth with nervousness and disappointment, she thought it was funny.
It was as if the woman was a shadow puppet and controlled her.
Pan picked up the bowl and saw that Mu Yingbao hadn't eaten it yet, so he was embarrassed to eat it immediately, but seeing that she was playing with white fungus soup like a disobedient child, Pan smiled slightly, didn't wait, scooped a spoonful and sent it to his mouth.
Mu Yingbao always paid attention to the woman's reaction, and saw that she was indeed very entangled, but she endured no intention of stopping, so Mu Yingbao spoke at the last moment; "Madame, wait a minute."
Pan's mouth was open, and when she heard Mu Yingbao say, she thought she remembered something about her son, so she put the spoon back in the bowl.
"Mrs. Xue? It's better not to drink this bowl. Mu Yingbao said with a smile.
When the woman heard this, she immediately bit her lip, and then quickly let go, pretending to be calm.
"How?" Pan asked puzzled.
"Because, the white fungus soup in this bowl was specially prepared for me by someone, if you eat it, your son will not have a reliable person to take care of." After Mu Yingbao finished speaking, she glanced at Tao Qingyuan who was standing at the door, and moved her gaze to the woman without missing a word, and quickly turned away.
"What? Mrs. Xue, but what's wrong with this white fungus soup? , Cuixiang, you came over and drank this bowl. Pan Shi was not stupid, he immediately understood what Mu Yingbao meant, and handed the white fungus soup in his hand to the girl.
What Mu Yingbao said just now, the girl also listened carefully and understood, and her face turned pale and she knelt down; "It's none of my business, I don't know anything, Madame."
"The white fungus soup was cooked by Yao Niang, she was brought by my mother's family, and she grew up with me when she was a child, and she would never do such a thing. And you, the white fungus soup was brought from the kitchen, don't you know? It's none of your business? Pan angrily pointed at the girl and asked.
"What's going on?" Li Jiecheng, who heard the voice in the bedroom, came out and asked,
Pan said it briefly, and Li Jiecheng's face sank; "Come on, pull this to the wing room for interrogation."
"Master, wronged, it's really not a slave." Cuixiang fell to the ground and begged loudly for mercy.
Mu Yingbao noticed that the corners of the woman's mouth were slightly raised.
Hehe, think that's going to be fine? Is there a substitute for the dead? You're too early to be happy!
"Slow down, Master Li, don't be in a hurry, madam, it's not her." Mu Yingbao spoke in time when the people who came in outside reached out to grab Cuixiang.
"Madam, Madame saves the slave and maid, it is really not a slave and maid, the slave and maid have no grievances with you, and you are the life-saving benefactor of my eldest young master, how could the slave and maid do such a thing." Seeing that someone was protecting her, Cuixiang crawled to Mu Yingbao, holding her leg and pleading.
"Mrs. Xue?" Li Jiecheng didn't say anything, Pan Shi opened his mouth puzzled, this person didn't interrogate, how do you know it's not this girl? Can't be so soft-hearted, when the girl cries, she thinks she's innocent?
Mu Yingbao stretched out her hand to the woman and asked Pan with a smile; "Madame, may I ask who she is?"
"She? She is my family's nurse Aunt Hui, she won't, it will definitely not be her, no one will be hers. Pan Shi hurriedly said.
"Ling Lang's nurse? That's strange, when I first came in, I didn't feel that she was worried about Ling Lang's situation inside? I thought it was Lord Li's favored concubine. Mu Yingbao said very puzzled.
"Mrs. Xue, don't you want to spew blood and wronged good people, I am the nurse of the eldest young master, and I have been in this mansion for thirty years, the old lady has treated me very well, and the eldest young master has never treated me badly, how could I do such a thing?" Aunt Hui said very sadly.
"Mrs. Xue said that I just entered the house, and I wasn't worried about the appearance of the eldest young master, do I have to show my worries? I'm worried about the eldest young master, and I don't want to show it to others. Aunt Hui whimpered and defended herself.
Pan Shi listened and looked at Mu Yingbao, and wanted to help his son's nurse speak.
Mu Yingbao put down the bowl in her hand and slapped her face; "Aunt Hui, right? It is true that some people like to show it to others, and some people will bury everything in their hearts. But you said you wouldn't do it for anyone else, but just now I realized that you're not that kind of person.
When I was about to eat this white fungus soup, your reaction was obviously very concerned.
I tell you, don't doubt my judgment, if I can't even see this, do you think I can return to the capital alive? The grave grass has long been old.
I don't know why you did this, if you were coerced or for some other reason. I don't think you are a good person, when you heard Cuixiang persuade your wife to eat too, you were anxious and worried.
However, after some deliberation in your heart, you finally chose to be silent, which is enough to show that your wife is not so important in your heart.
This thing is really what you do, even if it is not done by yourself, you are in the know.
As for whether you admit it or not, that's your old lady's business. However, if they can't get you to open your mouth and confess, I don't mind helping.
I smell this white fungus soup, and I can conclude that something is wrong inside, I can diagnose and treat your eldest young master, you say, can I have a way to make you honestly explain? ”
Listening to Mu Yingbao's words with a smile on her face, Aunt Hui no longer had the previous calmness on her face, but stared at Mu Yingbao with hatred in her eyes; "What do you want from me, you dream." As soon as she said this, she saw a figure flash in front of her, and then she felt that she couldn't move......
