"Madam, the eldest lady of Xifu has sent you something!"

In order not to alarm Master Zheng Si in the main room, Mrs. Zheng Si talked to Xu Shu in the wing room, and after listening to Jin Ling's words, she asked people to bring things.

"Bring it in! Since that holy decree, your eldest aunt in Xifu has sent things several times, probably to apologize for the previous incident! ”

Before, the Chen family secretly connived at the old lady's arrangement of Zheng Wanying, and a holy decree interrupted the old lady's plan, of course, the Chen family also knew that Mrs. Zheng Si was aware of her intentions, but before Chen felt that the old lady's plan might be successful, so she didn't take this to heart, but now that things are reversed, Chen's careful thinking can no longer be realized, in order to mend the relationship with Mrs. Zheng Si, so he sent things over several times.

Xu Shu looked at it and saw that it was all peach gum glutinous rice and other food and the like, and she thought about it, she had already sent it several times, and it couldn't be all very valuable things.

Mrs. Zheng Si didn't care too much, let her put her things away, and continued to talk about the injury of Mr. Zheng Si, "What is the point of harming the master?" Who sent that child? The capital is so big, it's impossible to confirm it one by one! ”

Xu Shu also knew that the clue would be broken here, and she couldn't continue to investigate, so she could only tell Mrs. Zheng Si, "Fortunately, my father is recuperating at home now, and he won't go out for the time being, and I'm not afraid that someone will continue to persecute him!" ”

"Also, it seems that the master will pay special attention when he goes out in the future!" Mrs. Zheng Si sighed and decided to arrange a few more entourages for Mr. Zheng Si in the future.

I thought that this matter could be over for the time being, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Zheng Si would be sick the next day, vomiting and diarrhea, which frightened Xu Shu, but fortunately, after Mr. Qin saw it, he said that it was caused by improper diet, and it was no big deal.

Xu Shu's first reaction when she got the news was related to the incident of Master Zheng Si's fall from the horse yesterday, and she hurried over, just when she ran into Mr. Qin, who came out of the pulse after diagnosis, "Mr. Qin, how is my mother?" ”

"You come with me!" Mr. Qin put his hands on Xu Shu's hand and led Xu Shu away a little before saying, "Fourth Mrs. Zheng has been poisoned!" ”

"Poisoned?" Xu Shu was shocked! Yesterday it was Master Zheng Si, it was outside, and it was easy to get started if you wanted to, but today it was Mrs. Zheng Si, but it was in the house, how did you start?

"Hmm!" Mr. Qin nodded, "It's true that someone poisoned it, but it's not a deadly poison, it's just an ordinary laxative!" But seeing Mrs. Zheng Si's demeanor, she didn't realize that she was poisoned, she only felt that it was an improper diet, so I didn't tell her, I planned to turn around and tell you, and I didn't look for poison with great fanfare, after all, Mr. Zheng Si was accidentally injured yesterday, and if Mrs. Zheng Si also suffered an accident today, it would cause panic in people's hearts, and it should not be publicized! ”

"Thank you, Mr. Qin!" Mr. Qin is indeed right, Mr. Zheng Si and his wife have been injured one after another, will it be her turn next?

"Hmm!" Mr. Qin walked away with his hands in his hands.

Xu Shu didn't go in directly to visit Mrs. Zheng Si, but called Jin Ling over and asked, "What did the lady eat for breakfast this morning?" ”

"As usual, Madame ate a bowl of japonica rice porridge, a small plate of pickled bamboo shoots, and two kidney bean rolls!" Jin Ling is the most important for Mrs. Zheng Si, and Jin Ling usually serves Mrs. Zheng Si for dinner.

"That's all?"

"That's all...... Jin Ling thought again, "and chestnut cake!" Yesterday Mrs. Xifu sent fresh chestnuts, and today the kitchen made chestnut cake, but Mrs. only ate one bite and thought it was too sweet, so she didn't eat it! ”

"What about my mother's unfinished breakfast?"

"The soup that was left over after Madame finished breakfast has been disposed of......"

"Go and bring all the ingredients that my mother ate this morning!"

Jin Ling quickly took all the ingredients that Mrs. Zheng Si had eaten in the morning, "It's all here!" ”

Xu Shu put her hand on her head, wanting to pull out a silver hairpin to test the poison, but when her hand touched the bun, she remembered that she was still guarding filial piety for Xu Hui, and there was no hairpin ornament on her head, so Lu He hurriedly handed over her silver needle, "Here, miss!" ”

Xu Shu used a silver needle to sign the ingredients to identify, and finally when the chestnuts were pierced, the silver needles turned black, which was sent by the eldest lady Chen of Xifu yesterday, and Xu Shu's face became heavy......

"This ...... This is ......" Jin Ling was also startled when she looked at the blackened silver needle, the silver needle tested for poison, and she still knew the truth that it would turn black when it was poisoned, and now the silver needle has turned black, which means that the chestnuts are poisonous......

"Madame's not eating incorrectly, but being poisoned!"

Xu Shu nodded, "Who sent the things from Xifu yesterday?" Whose hands did it go through after that? ”

Jin Ling said, "The eldest lady of Xifu has always sent things from the morning dew beside the eldest lady, and then the things are registered in the warehouse after the slave maid counts, and then go to the warehouse to pick it up when you want to use it, and the breakfast is also made by Biyun watching the cook!" ”

Chenlu is Chen's henchman, and Jin Ling is Mrs. Zheng's confidant, and the actions of these two almost represent the hearts of their masters......

"So this poison shouldn't have been added by others......"

And the person who poisoned it should be the eldest lady of Xifu, Jin Ling was even more shocked when she figured this out, "That's ...... Is that...... Did the eldest lady of Xifu do it? But why? Madame has always cared for the eldest lady, and it is precisely because of the ingredients sent by the eldest lady that the slaves and maids did not suspect much, which made Madame ......"

"This thing...... Don't tell your mother first, so as not to worry about your mother, which is not conducive to physical recovery, you take good care of your mother these days, and all the food at the entrance must be carefully checked before taking it to your mother, and don't let him get close to your mother! ”

"Yes!"

Xu Shu didn't think it was a coincidence, since Mrs. Zheng Si's matter was Chen's poisonous hand, then eight times out of ten, Mr. Zheng Si's matter was also Chen's hand.

And although I asked the people around me yesterday, Xifu, which is the Zheng family's own person, is not within the scope of the inquiry......

But why did Chan do this? The Chen family and Mrs. Zheng Si should be innocent and innocent, and what is the benefit of doing this for the Chen family?

However, no matter what the motives and purpose of the Chen family were, now all the suspicions pointed to the Chen family, Xu Shu thought for a while and ordered, "Jin Ling, you ask the cook to make all the remaining chestnuts into chestnut cakes, and then send them to the West Mansion to give them to the eldest lady, just say that I think the chestnut cakes taste very good, and I specially made them to honor her!" ”

“…… Be! Although I didn't know what Xu Shu's intention was, Jin Ling still ordered someone to do it.
