Although Wei Ning's words brought back Wei Guogong's reason, it still did not make Wei Guogong fully believe in Xu.

Aunt Xi had been lying on the bed and hadn't said a word from beginning to end.

"You tell your mother to get up, and from today onwards, stay in Xunfangyuan. Don't go anywhere. ”

Wei Ning was angry and wanted to speak again, but Wei Guogong kicked her out.

And Wei Jinluo was silent after watching this play.

On the way back to the room, Cherry said to Wei Jinluo: "Miss, do you see it, these two young ladies are really different from before." ”

"Even a blind man can see it." Wei Jinluo frowned, her pink and tender little face tightened, and Wei Jinluo secretly thought to herself: This Wei Ning is getting more and more difficult to deal with.

The Xu family was locked up and confined and even Wei Ning lost his freedom. Wei Guogong ordered that the murderer must be found, but even if all the maids and maids in the garden were interrogated, no valuable information was found.

On that day, bird's nest was stewed in the kitchen, and there were two maids and two maids in and out. But they all denied that they had added mercury to the bird's nest, and they didn't see the real culprit.

The confessions of the four people are basically the same, that is, from the beginning of the bird's nest stew to the time the bird's nest is stewed, there are people in the kitchen, but except for the four of them, no one else is seen.

Wei Ning listened to Shu Jin's report to her, and pondered. She felt that one of them must have lied, or, a collective crime, covering up with each other.

She wanted to inquire in person, but Wei Guogong had already issued a strict order not to allow her to move around at will.

Wei Ning was very anxious, more than half a month had passed, and Wei Guogong did not allow her to see her mother. She didn't know how Xu was doing now, whether she washed her face with tears every day.

"Miss, don't worry, eat something." Shu Jin prepared the meal and persuaded Wei Ning.

Wei Ning sat down at the table and casually pulled a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, and he said with some excitement: "Shu Jin, quick, help me dress, I'm going to the garden to have a look." ”

The courtyard where Wei Ning lived was next to the garden of the Wei Guogong Mansion, and there was a long corridor in the courtyard leading directly to the garden. Shu Jin didn't know what her young lady was thinking about, but when she saw Wei Ning's excited appearance, she could only helplessly follow Wei Ning to the garden.

It was the height of summer, and there were a lot of flowers blooming in the garden. Wei Ning walked to the rockery in the garden with Shu Jin, she walked around the rockery and saw a large pile of weeds growing behind the rockery that was shoulder-high.

Wei Ning brushed aside the weeds and saw that there was a small hole in the corner of the wall under the cover of the weeds.

The hole is not big, and adults will definitely not be able to enter and exit, but with Wei Ning's child's body, it shouldn't be a problem.

Shu Jin's mouth opened into a circle: "Miss, what are you trying to do?" ”

Wei Ning patted Shu Jin's shoulder and said solemnly: "Shu Jin, do you know that we are all living in dire straits now. If you can't clear your mother's grievances, neither you nor I will have a good life in the future. ”

Although it is said that the Xu family is confined, even their lives have been affected. But Wei Ning is also Wei Guogong's biological daughter, Shu Jin doesn't understand, how can they live in dire straits, and what does this have to do with what she is about to do?

"Miss, we just have to be obedient now. Don't make Grandpa Guo angry again. As for Madame, as the saying goes, a husband and wife will be kind for a hundred days, and Grandpa Guo will forgive Madame sooner or later. ”

Wei Ning shook her head, what she wanted was not for her father and mother to be reconciled, but she couldn't stand someone splashing dirty water on them like this.

In her previous life, she had experienced too many battles, but she never fully understood who was around her with bad intentions. If she wants to live a stable life in this life, she must find out these people with evil intentions and cut down the roots.

"I'm going to find Brother Lin Changsheng." Wei Ning held Shu Jin's hand, "I know Shu Jin will help me." ”

"No, you can't." Shu Jin immediately refused, "Miss went out like this, what accident happened, Shu Jin can't afford this responsibility." ”

"Baicaotang is not far from here, that is, a few streets. Besides, I had an appointment with Brother Lin before, and I haven't been to see him for so many days, so I can't miss the appointment. ”

Shu Jin didn't agree with anything, Wei Ning was anxious, and suddenly whistled at Shu Jin's back, saying, "Shu Jin, who do you see coming?" ”

Shu Jin turned around, and Wei Ning immediately "squeaked" and got out of the hole with a cat's waist.

"Yikes!" Shu Jin was startled and wanted to follow him out, but Wei Ning immediately blocked the hole with his foot.

"You just wait for me in the house, and I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Wei Ning immediately ran away, leaving Shu Jin with an anxious face.

Wei Ning ran to the street in one breath, and the streets and alleys in Jingzhou City were as bustling as ever.

She knew it was dangerous for a small child to run outside alone. But Wei Ning couldn't care so much. In this mansion, in fact, only she and the Xu family depend on each other, and she must protect her mother.

Wei Ning bent his waist and walked through the crowded crowd to Baicao Hall.

There was a long queue in front of the door of Baicaotang, all of whom were patients who came to see a doctor.

Wei Ning relied on her small stature and squeezed to the front, wanting to go in. The doctor boy standing at the door saw Wei Ning and opened his mouth to exclaim, "Whose little girl?" I didn't see it busy. ”

"I'm here to find Brother Lin Changsheng." Wei Ning hurriedly explained that she didn't want to be misunderstood that she was here to make trouble.

The doctor boy was small, not much older than Wei Ning. It seemed that he had long been accustomed to people coming to Lin Changsheng, so he said: "Line up, line up!" ”

Wei Ning saw that the doctor boy didn't believe in him very much, so he could only shout Lin Changsheng's name in front of the Baicao Hall.

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin, Brother Lin Changsheng, I'm Ning'er!"

The medical boy was startled, and just wanted to open his mouth to reprimand, but the straw curtain of Baicao Hall was lifted, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Wei Ning.

"Brother Lin." Wei Ning's big eyes were shining, looking at Lin Changsheng.

"Ning'er?" Lin Changsheng was very pleasantly surprised. Since the last goodbye, he has been waiting for news from Wei Ning. But because Wei Ning didn't come for a long time, it was not easy for him to go to the Wei Mansion to investigate.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I thought about it today, Wei Ning came.

"Koharuko, are you actually embarrassing a little girl here?" Lin Changsheng smiled and knocked the head of the doctor boy with his hand.

The medical boy who was called "Xiao Chunzi" was full of grievances: "I didn't know it was your friend, young master." ”

Wei Ning couldn't help but snicker in her heart, Xiao Chunzi, what a cute name.

"You came to look for me today, but for the sake of apprenticeship? Why, Ling Zun Lingtang finally agreed to let you study medicine? Lin Changsheng welcomed Wei Ning into the door, a little strange, why didn't she bring her entourage today?

Wei Ning hesitated for a while: "I actually ran out of the house secretly today. ”

"Oh?" Lin Changsheng tilted his head and looked at Wei Ning, his face full of puzzlement.

"Brother Lin, I came to Baicaotang today to ask you something." Wei Ning's face was serious.

Lin Changsheng motioned for Wei Ning to continue.

So Wei Ning told Lin Changsheng about Aunt Xi's miscarriage, and after listening to it, Lin Changsheng pondered and said: "The most critical doubt in this matter is how this mercury is placed. ”

"That's right." Wei Ning nodded, "The doctor said that there was mercury in the bird's nest, but the maids in the kitchen that day unanimously said that they didn't see outsiders coming in and out. All the bedrooms in the house were searched, but no mercury was found. ”

"Actually, there are many ways to poison it. It's not that the killer was meant to be there. ”

"Oh?" Wei Ning looked at Lin Changsheng, "I want to hear about it." ”

Lin Changsheng took Wei Ning into the backyard of Baicaotang, and Wei Ning saw a lot of bamboo baskets placed on the ground in the backyard, which were full of various herbs.

When the wind blows, it's all fragrant with herbs.

Lin Changsheng picked up a piece of herbs from the bamboo basket and said, "This is oleander." ”

"The leaves and rhizomes of oleander are highly poisonous. I once heard my father say that a famous concubine suddenly died of poisoning in the harem when he competed for favor in the harem. After being diagnosed by the doctor, it was determined that he was poisoned by oleander. However, the amount of oleander ingested by the concubine at that time was very small, and it was not fatal at all. The imperial physician was puzzled and did not understand why this concubine died suddenly. Later, after an investigation by the female officials in the palace, it was found that the tableware and cups used by the concubine every day had been soaked in oleander water for a long time. So day after day, the poison slowly accumulated a large amount of toxins in the body through daily diet and contact ingestion, and finally broke out, causing her to die violently. ”

Wei Ning listened to what Lin Changsheng said, and a chill gradually soaked through his body.

If the murderer really used this poisoning method, then the person she really wanted to kill was not Aunt Xi, but her mother!

Wei Ning felt that she couldn't stay here for half a moment now, she just wanted to run home right away and tell her mother to stop using everything around her.

Lin Changsheng also saw Wei Ning's worry, so he said to Wei Ning: "You'd better go home and have a look now, and by the way, you can bring another doctor back." ”

"Brother Lin. Thank you. Wei Ning didn't have any good friends since she was a child, so she was naturally very grateful for Lin Changsheng's help.

"Thanks for what. Isn't it right for a senior brother to help a junior sister? Lin Changsheng said jokingly.

Wei Ning was stunned, Lin Changsheng smiled, and his heart was full of pity for this little girl for some reason. She is willing to come to herself today, and she must believe in herself very much. Lin Changsheng was very moved.

"When you settle your affairs, I will take you to see your father again, and he will definitely like you."

On the way back, Wei Ning's ears kept echoing the words that Lin Changsheng said to her.

Wei Ning stepped up and hurried home. Suddenly, someone hit him the back of the neck.

Wei Ning suddenly felt pain, felt a white flower in front of him, tilted his head, and immediately fainted.
