It may be that the Tao Jin family told the Ji family the news of the old lady's awakening, and the Ji family came after noon.

Fortunately, with the diagnosis and treatment of Dr. Hu in the past few days, the old lady's pulse has stabilized, her face has gradually improved, and there is no difference between being in a coma and falling asleep.

She didn't have the patience to wait for the old lady to wake up, and said a few words about taking good care of the old lady and left.

After that, another group of people came one after another, all of whom were sent away by Mama Mao on the grounds that the old lady had just woken up and wanted to recuperate and not be disturbed.

Mei'er went to see Tao Jin's family and came back, saying that she had made an appointment, and she would give her bitter almonds in the imperial garden. She also said that the Tao Jin family was worried that she would not do anything, so they gave her a pair of gold bracelets.

Jiao Niang took the gold bracelet and looked at it, seeing that it was familiar, and remembered that it was the day of Tao Jin's 40th birthday, and the Ji family rewarded it in front of everyone.

She was still angry for this gold bracelet, just because her aunt had also worn the same bracelet, and in a blink of an eye, Ji's rewarded her with an identical pair to her subordinates.

Her aunt was also good-tempered and didn't say anything, but when she went back, she put the bracelet away and never wore it again.

After reading it, Jiao Niang returned the gold bracelet to Mei'er and asked her to keep it, which would be used as a supporting evidence to identify Tao Jin's family.

When the appointed time came, Mei'er was let out, and the arrangers had already hidden near their agreed place, just waiting for Tao Jin's family to take the bait.

It was an extraordinarily quiet dusk, and there was no sound of the wind, as if it were the eve of a storm.

Jiao Niang walked in the courtyard, holding her shoulders and looking at the sky.

Shui Xiang quietly approached her and put a cloak on her, "Is the girl worried about something? Mama Mao will go to fetch people personally, as long as the Tao Jin family appears, she will definitely not be able to escape." ”

Jiao Niang shook her head.

What she was worried about was not this, but she was thinking that if this matter affected the Ji family, she wondered if her father would seek justice for his mother, or settle the matter.

Not long after Youshi, I heard Mama Mao shouting loudly outside the door: "Fifth girl, someone has caught it." ”

Four or five mothers-in-law tied Tao Jin's family in, and in order to prevent her from screaming, they stuffed cloth in their mouths.

Mama Mao held the bag of bitter almonds in her hand, "She can't deny it this time." ”

The lady raised her face and asked her to bring people to the main hall.

As soon as she took out the cloth in her mouth, the Tao Jin family began to mumble, "Why did you arrest me here, what do you want to do! Fifth girl, what do you want to do?"

Jiao Niang smiled lightly, and raised her hand to let the servant woman who was twisting her let go of her, "Mother Tao, when it's all here, don't pretend to be stupid, you know what you have done." ”

She glanced at Mei'er, and Mei'er looked at Tao Jin's family, "Mother Tao, I have already recruited everything you asked me to do." ”

The Tao Jin family panicked at first, but quickly calmed down, "What nonsense are you talking about, what did I let you do?" looked at Jiao Niang with her neck raised, quite provocative, "What do you mean by the fifth girl, I don't know this girl at all." ”

"Don't you know?" Jiao Niang pointed to the bag of bitter almonds on the table, "I don't know how you stuffed this thing into her arms?" Seeing that she was going to deny it, Jiao Niang's voice raised and suppressed her words, "At that time, there were many pairs of eyes looking at it, and people were stolen!"

Tao Jin's family was speechless for a while, and he couldn't say why, and after a while, Fang argued: "What does that mean, it's just some almonds, how can it become stolen?"

Mama Mao's face was gloomy, "Tao Jin's family, do you think that Imperial Doctor Hu really can't diagnose that the old lady is not sick, but poisoned?"

Tao Jinjia's heartbeat intensified, and there was panic on his face, "What does this have to do with me?"

Jiao Niang stared at her face, "Mei'er has already pointed out that you asked her to secretly change the almonds used by the old lady every day to bitter almonds, this method is really wonderful, and God can kill people without knowing it." ”

Tao Jinjia's face changed drastically, and he forced out a stiff smile, "I have never heard of bitter almonds." This girl doesn't know who she has received, but she has wronged me. ”

She covered her face and cried, "Madam, come and make decisions for the slaves." ”

actually moved out of the Ji family to press her, and a sneer flashed at the corner of Jiao Niang's mouth, "Mother Tao, you have come to this point, I'm afraid that even the eldest lady can't save you." ”

After speaking, she looked at Mama Mao, Mama Mao bowed slightly, took a step forward, and said, "Suppress her down for interrogation, and make sure she spits out the truth." ”

As soon as she gave the order, the two stout mothers-in-law came up to threaten people, and the Tao Jin family suddenly shook off the people and struggled to stand up.

It's also that she is used to running rampant in the house, even at this time, she still didn't put Jiao Niang in her eyes, glared at her angrily, and shouted: "I'm the eldest lady's companion, and the fifth girl wants to interrogate me, but you have to think about it carefully." ”

Jiao Niangtian smiled and said, "Mother Tao, I didn't say this, don't wronged me." ”

The two mothers-in-law didn't guard her at first, but at this moment they had already pressed her, and twisted her arm in reverse, as if her arm was dislocated, and there were two "clicks", accompanied by the painful screams of Tao Jin's family.

Mama Mao said gloomily: "Pull her down, interrogate her well, and see if there is anyone who wants her!"

As soon as the man was escorted into the courtyard, he saw a maid running in and announcing that the eldest lady had arrived at the door.

As soon as he heard that the eldest lady was coming, the Tao Jin family was like a dead dog that was slaughtered and suddenly came back to life, desperately struggling towards the door, shouting, "Madam, save me, save me." ”

Mama Mao listened to her shouting, and strangled people to take a cloth to plug her mouth. I wanted to wait until I got the confession of the Tao Jin family, and then go to see the Ji family, but I didn't think that the Ji family would come over at this time, I am afraid that he was here to ask for someone.

She couldn't help but be secretly anxious in her heart, and looked at Jiao Niang.

Jiao Niang didn't expect Ji to get the news so quickly, she was a little unexpected, but she couldn't help but face it at this time.

gave Mama Mao a reassuring look, and saw that Ji had already walked through the weeping flower gate and entered the courtyard.

As soon as he came in, Ji Shi noticed the displeasure of the Tao Jin family who was being escorted, and immediately reprimanded: "Jiao Niang, what are you going to do, what crime did the Tao Jin family commit, you kidnapped people and covered your mouth? ”

After all, Mama Mao has been with the old lady for decades, and the panic she had just now has disappeared at this time.

She looked towards Ji's Fufu body and said with a calm expression: "Mrs. Hui, this is not the business of the five girls, it is this maid who poisons the old lady, so the old slave wants to try her." ”

She first got rid of Jiao Niang, she didn't want the five girls to get involved in this matter, after all, the five girls still have to survive in the house, and if they offend their mother-in-law, how can they have a good life.

Mama Mao's kindness, Jiao Niang is grateful, when things come to this point, she doesn't want to get involved anymore, since Mama Mao just got rid of her at this time, she accepts this love, as long as she is a bystander.
