Chapter 023: Collect the Heart
Lin Changsheng didn't delay too much, he first gave Xu Shi a careful pulse, and said, "There are signs of mercury in the body. However, as it stands, the toxins are still very weak and do not accumulate much in the body. ”
"There were also doctors who saw my mother before, why didn't they check it out?"
"That's for Madame." Lin Changsheng looked at Xu Shi on the bed and said, "I want to know what those doctors said when they saw their wife?" ”
Xu Shi thought for a while and said, "I have been in poor health before. Doctors all say that if you want to have children, you must first adjust your body, and it is recommended that you use contraception before your body recovers. ”
"That's right." Lin Changsheng said: "What those doctors said is right. Madame is now in weak health, and it is indeed unfit to conceive children. Presumably, those doctors saw that Mrs. was taking mercury and thought that Mrs. was using mercury for contraception. So I didn't think about it deeply. ”
"Mercury contraception?" Wei Ning asked.
Lin Changsheng nodded and said: "Mercury has the effect of contraception, but long-term use is very damaging to the body, and it will also cause lifelong infertility for women." ”
"Madame's current dose is very weak, can I know what Madame usually uses?"
Xu instructed Xianglan to bring up the utensils she used every day.
Lin Changsheng took out the silver needle and touched it lightly on the dish, and the end of the silver needle touching the tableware immediately became pitch black.
Wei Ning's face changed.
This poisoned person's heart is really vicious. Actually putting poison in such a place is really pervasive.
If Xu used this poisonous tableware for a long time, wouldn't it be that in a few years, his health would get worse and worse, and finally he died violently?
But what Wei Ning didn't understand was that if the Xu family really died because of the poison of mercury in the previous life, why didn't the later doctors mention this question when they saw the Xu family?
Xu's face was full of horror and said, "Doctor Lin, I didn't use mercury to avoid pregnancy. ”
"I know." Lin Changsheng had already guessed what was going on, and he said to Xu: "I suggest that Madame should interrogate the maid who usually keeps the tableware for Madame now." See if someone washes the dishes with mercury-added water, causing the dishes used by the lady to be poisonous. ”
"The maid who usually keeps the tableware for Mrs. is Qian'er, so I'll call her in." Xianglan had been standing aside, and when she heard Xu's order, she immediately ran out to call Qian'er in.
After a while, a thin, round-faced maid walked in. When she saw Xu, she knelt down respectfully and saluted.
"Qian'er, let me ask you, do you usually clean and keep this tableware?" Xu asked, sitting on the bed.
"Yes." Qian'er is also a teenage girl who does foul language, usually stays in the kitchen, but today she was suddenly called for questioning, and she was very restrained.
"You're so daring!" Xu's face suddenly changed, and he scolded sharply: "You dare to poison the water in the dishes that are cleaned daily!" ”
Qian'er was startled, immediately kowtowed, and shouted, "Madam, I didn't." ”
"You don't, so how can there be mercury on this tableware?" Xu asked sharply.
"I ...... I...... I don't know...... What mercury? I didn't, I really didn't! ”
Qian'er didn't know what to say, so she could only keep kowtowing and keep shouting grievances.
Xu suddenly coughed loudly, and his mouth was red.
"Mother!" Seeing Xu coughing up blood, Wei Ning was startled. Hurriedly asked Lin Changsheng to check on Xu's condition.
Lin Changsheng took Xu's pulse and said, "Excessive emotions and excessive sadness. Madame, you should calm down. Have you been too upset lately because of trivial matters? The accumulation of internal organs and internal organs is very bad for a long time! ”
"Mother, why don't you go and rest, and leave this matter to me." Wei Ning was very worried about the Xu family.
Xu Shi nodded, shook her head again, she wanted to sit up, but she felt dizzy for a while, Wei Ning asked her to stop talking, helped Xu Shi lie down on the bed, and then told Xianglan to take good care of Xu.
Lin Changsheng gave Xu a few stitches. A few more tranquilizers were prescribed. After Xu gave Lin Changsheng the needle, he soon lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep.
"Your mother isn't in bad health right now, she's just overwhelmed. From today onwards, I will come over every afternoon to help her get a needle for half an hour to help her detoxify her body. Let her drink a few more soothing decoctions. The body should be fine. Lin Changsheng said to Wei Ning.
"Thank you, Dr. Lin." Wei Ning was very grateful to Lin Changsheng for his help. Lin Changsheng clasped his hands into fists, saluted Wei Ning, and said, "It's inconvenient for me to stay here for a long time." Let's go back to the hospital first. Don't be anxious about poisoning. Since this person can come up with this method, he must also be a thoughtful person. Let me know if you need any help. ”
Wei Ning nodded, thanked Lin Changsheng again, and asked the maid to send Lin Changsheng out of the house.
After Lin Changsheng left, Wei Ning asked Qian'er to take Qian'er back to his courtyard first, and then raised his legs and walked to the ancestral hall to find Shu Jin.
The ancestral hall of the Wei family is not large, with a large room in the middle for the ranks, and two rows of ear rooms on both sides for the cleaners to live in. As soon as Wei Ning entered, he saw Shu Jin kneeling in front of the ancestral hall.
When Shu Jin was kneeling in the ancestral hall, he had already heard that the maid had passed Wei Ning back. It's a pity that she didn't receive the order from her wife, and she still dared to kneel and didn't dare to get up.
"Shu Jin." Wei Ning shouted, and she saw Shu Jin wearing a blue-green shirt, and her little face was snow-white and faintly cyan.
"Get up." Wei Ning sighed.
Shu Jin had tears in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "Shu Jin can't get up." ”
"Why?"
"If Shu Jin gets up, next time Miss sneaks out like this, give Shu Jin ten lives, and Shu Jin won't die enough. It's better to kneel here this time, and it's a hundred. ”
Wei Ning couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that Shu Jin was really scared of being punished this time, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing as if he were dead.
"Then I'll never sneak out next time, okay?" Wei Ning said as he pulled the bunch.
Shu Jin was kneeling for too long, and as soon as he stood up with Wei Ning's hand, his body was dizzy and fell to the side.
Wei Ning hurriedly helped her to stand firm.
"Shu Jin. I'll call a maid to put some medicine on your legs. "After kneeling for so many days, my legs must be purple even if they are not green.
But fortunately, there is no kneeling yet. Wei Ning saw that Shu Jin could still stand up, and it was estimated that he could still walk. The heart hanging in my heart gradually let go.
Shu Jin laughed with a "flutter".
"Miss, don't worry about me." Shu Jin grimaced at Wei Ning. She pulled up her trouser legs, and Wei Ning saw that she had two thick knee pads tied to her knees.
"I've been kneeling for more than two months, how can I do it without a way to protect myself?" Shu Jin said proudly, "This is what my good sister Zihui made for me." She heard that I had been punished by my wife, and at night she gave me this pair of knee pads. If it weren't for it, I'd be crippled if I didn't die right now! ”
Wei Ning was speechless, and she said how long Shu Jin's legs were. If it were someone else, I wouldn't have been able to stand up a long time ago.
"I'm the one who dragged you down." Wei Ning said guiltily.
She didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to come back. Although Shu Jin was punished with knee pads, Wei Ning also saw that Shu Jin was bruised and purple, and it was estimated that Xu's beating was not light.
Shu Jin shook his head, took Wei Ning's hand, and his voice was choked: "Miss, it's good for you to come back." ”
These days, she hated and resented. But after all, Wei Ning can't really be blamed. Even now after Wei Ning came back, Shu Jin found that Wei Ning was not just a master in his heart.
In daily interactions, she has unconsciously regarded Wei Ning as her sister.
Shu Jin knew that she was trespassing, but she really thought so.
Wei Ning also felt Shu Jin's change in herself, and she was very happy in her heart: "So, I have to thank Zihui." If it weren't for her, wouldn't I have lost a good sister? ”
"Miss?" Shu Jin was flattered to hear Wei Ning actually call her a good sister.
Wei Ning patted her hand, in the previous life, she had always ignored the people around her, in this life, good people and bad people, she had to see it clearly.
Shu Jin is a loyal servant, she understands it very well.
In this life, she must treat Shu Jin well, and don't let her tragedy in the previous life repeat itself......
Wei Ning took Shu Jin back to his room and said to Shu Jin, "Go and call Zihui." I don't think there are enough people in my room, and I want to add an extra maid. ”
Shu Jin was very surprised, took Wei Ning's order, and immediately ran happily to find Zihui.
When Zihui was brought to Wei Ning by Shu Jin, she still didn't know the situation.
She was also very happy to hear that Wei Ning actually asked her to come to the room to work with Shu Jin.
She was originally a sprinkler in the garden, one year younger than Shu Jin. Since entering the house, I have done rough work. Zihui is petite than the average person. She was originally the daughter of a teacher, but because her younger brother was seriously ill and urgently needed medical expenses, she was forced to sell herself into slavery.
After all, he is not a child from a poor family, Zihui has little strength, and he can't do a lot of heavy work. When I first entered the house, I was always excluded by other maids. If it weren't for Shu Jin's constant care, Zihui would have felt that she would not be able to survive in the mansion.
Now it's good, I can come to the second lady's room, do a relaxing job of serving tea and water, and be with Shu Jin every day, but I don't know how much better than before!
And according to Shu Jin, the second lady is a very easy person to get along with......
Zihui cried, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, Second Miss, thank you, Second Miss, Second Miss is my lifesaver." ”
Wei Ning was very embarrassed, she asked Zihui to get up, and instructed Shu Jin to go to Wang's mother in the mansion to ask Wang's mother to make two new clothes for Zihui.
Shu Jin took Zihui and left with a thousand thanks.
Wei Ning let out a long sigh of relief.
After a while, a maid came in to report that Grandpa Guo had returned.
Wei Ning took a sip of the ginseng tea sent by his subordinates, tidied up his clothes, and said calmly: "Hurry up and welcome the master in." ”
When Wei Guogong stepped into Wei Ning's room, he saw Wei Ning sitting on a chair drinking tea.
She wore a goose-yellow apricot blossom shirt with a brocade loose flower skirt of the same color, and her head was combed in a double hanging bun, which was decorated with beaded flowers, and a few small braids hung from her waist. Fingers as tender as shallots hold the white teacup.
Wei Guogong looked at her, and saw Xu's shadow in a trance.
Unconsciously, he didn't even realize that Wei Ning had grown so big.
