Chapter 157
After Yu Shiyi fainted, someone soon went to Baicao Garden to invite Dr. Li to come.
After Dr. Li's careful diagnosis, it was determined that Yu Shiyi had ingested a small amount of arsenic by mistake, and his body was already weak, which caused him to fall into a coma.
Hearing that Yu Shiyi was poisoned, Yu Mansion immediately boiled as if it had exploded.
For a time, people came and went in Fushou Courtyard, and the courtyard was full of maids and women, and the noise was constant, so it was not lively.
The eldest lady stood on the edge of the bed, glanced at Yu Shiyi, who was pale, and said lightly to the eldest man who was tired of being with the fourth aunt: "Master, you see that our Yi'er has been poisoned like this, shouldn't we investigate it thoroughly?" Let's see which thief dares to harm me! As he spoke, his eyes scanned a room full of people, and finally his eyes fell on the fourth aunt's slightly bulging belly.
The fourth aunt smiled back at Mrs. Yi, and also echoed and said, "Mrs. is very right, sir, you really need to check carefully." Otherwise, everyone in this room will stare at the concubine, thinking that the concubine instigated people to harm the eldest young master, and the concubine can't afford this crime. After speaking, Ai Ai's handkerchief squeezed and whimpered.
The eldest master's heart tightened, and he was busy coaxing softly.
The fourth aunt is unrelenting, and she has to say that the eldest master is ugly.
The eldest lord looked at the eldest lady and said sharply: "This matter is indeed to be investigated carefully, so as not to chew the root of the tongue and splash sewage everywhere!" ”
Although it was an investigation, it was not for the sake of catching the murderer and thinking about Yu Shiyi's safety, but because he was afraid that his beloved concubine would be wronged.
When the people present heard this, they all looked at Yu Shiyi, who was lying in a coma on the bed, and glanced at sympathetic eyes.
The eldest lady tugged at the corners of her mouth, snorted coldly in her heart, and said in a virtuous manner: "Master, don't worry, the concubine will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!" Saying that, he said to the fourth aunt: "Fourth sister, you can have a good baby, but don't think about it, you have a baby." Otherwise, the lord may blame me for this crime, and I have nowhere to complain. ”
"You!" The fourth aunt was angry.
She knew that the eldest lady's mouth couldn't say anything good, openly and secretly saying that she was the murderer of Yu Shiyi, she was very aggrieved in her heart, her eyes were full of mist, her red mouth was slightly pursed, and she wanted to say goodbye to look at the eldest master.
The eldest lord's heart had already been melted by the fourth aunt, and he coaxed it with affection.
Seeing that the corners of the fourth aunt's mouth were slightly upturned and there was a hint of a smile, he changed another fierce face to the eldest lady, and reprimanded unceremoniously: "Why are you still stunned?" Shiyi is still unconscious, don't you want to arrest the murderer sooner? ”
The eldest lady turned her head to the side.
She didn't want to have any verbal dispute with the eldest master, which would only cheapen the fourth aunt, so she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and asked Mother Zhang, who was waiting beside her, to do it.
Zhang's mother responded respectfully and went to investigate in person.
As early as the diagnosis that Yu Shiyi was in a coma caused by eating arsenic, Lan'er was afraid that someone would suspect the food, so just in case, she splashed dirty water on her body, and when everyone was panicked about Yu Shiyi's poisoning and couldn't take care of anything else, she quietly poured all the tofu brains she made into the corner. When dealing with it, I thought carefully that her behavior was too obvious, and a discerning person could see at a glance that she did it intentionally, not to mention that Yu Shiyi didn't eat much at that time, so in order to mislead the sight of others, she also disposed of the bowl of tofu brain made by Mother Xie by the way.
Now seeing that Zhang's mother gathered all the maids and mothers-in-law in Fushou Courtyard, carefully interrogated the past one by one, and asked Yu Shiyi's whereabouts today, Lan'er believes that what she did before is clear.
Mother Zhang came to Mother Wen and Mother Liu, who were in charge of the small kitchen, and asked, "What kind of meal did the young master use today?" Especially tonight's. ”
Mother Wen and Mother Liu glanced at each other, and carefully looked at the expression of Mother Xie next to them, and did not reply immediately, but the corners of their mouths were twitching, and they seemed to be telling Mother Zhang that Mother Xie was there, and some words were not good to say in person.
Mother Zhang's eyes flashed slightly, and she couldn't help but be secretly happy when she realized the meaning of Mother Wen and Mother Liu.
Now the old lady who has been beaten by the big lady is almost the same, and she manages the maids and women in the inner courtyard honestly, but the outer courtyard doesn't pay much attention to it. Therefore, in order to be able to control the entire Yu Mansion, he constantly installed his own people in it, and tried to squeeze out Manager Xie, that is, Xie's mother's husband. It's just that after all, Chief Manager Xie grew up in the Yu Mansion since he was a child, and he once won the favor of the deceased old man, and the foundation is not generally stable, so it is difficult to implement it. Now, Mother Xie is suspected of murdering the eldest young master, which is the most beneficial blow to Chief Manager Xie.
Thinking of this, Zhang's mother's eyes quickly flashed a little calculation.
So, pulling down her face, Zhang's mother scolded fiercely and said, "What is there to say? Squeak squeak for whom do you want to cover up! ”
Mother Wen is round and jade, her body is relatively large, but her courage is very small, she was immediately shocked by Mother Zhang, pointed to Mother Xie and said: "The young master's meal tonight is Mother Xie alone in Zhang Luo, and she also specially instructed the slaves and maids not to interfere, and it is mysterious, and Chunying also said that as long as the young master eats this bowl of tofu brain, she will not be afraid of anything in the future......" Speaking of this, Mother Wen glanced at Mother Zhang uneasily, and saw Mother Zhang glaring at her fiercely, giving her a cruel warning, She licked her dry lips, swallowed her saliva, and continued stubbornly: "Say I'm not afraid of you and anyone else. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang's mother's chest couldn't stop rising and falling.
This Mother Xie is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she keeps looking for opportunities to step on herself.
Now, though......
Hmph, look who's afraid of whom!
After hearing Mother Wen's words, Mother Zhang looked at Mother Liu again.
Mother Liu secretly blamed Mother Wen for her mouthfulness, and now she has also been pulled into the water.
But looking at the current situation, no matter what she says, she is bound to offend someone.
Raising her eyes to see her black face, she kept secretly putting pressure on her to stop talking nonsense, and looked at Mother Zhang, who had a kind face and tempted her to speak. Mother Liu lowered her eyelids and thought about it carefully, considered the overall situation, nodded at Mother Zhang, and said, "Mother Wen is not wrong, Mother Xie had these strange actions and said strange things at that time. ”
