Chapter 25: Poisoning

At this moment, there are only three people left in the eldest lady's room, the eldest lady is lying on the bed with a pale face, and a hunchbacked and rickety old woman is checking her pulse, she is Mama Luo who Mama Zhang specially went to Qin Mansion to invite.

Mama Luo is the housekeeper next to Mrs. Qin, the mother of the eldest lady, and she is very proficient in pharmacology, so she is very valued by Mrs. Qin.

"Mama Luo, how's it going?" Mama Zhang saw Mama Luo put her hand away, and asked anxiously: "It stands to reason that Madame's fetus should be stable after the first three months, how could she fall and miscarried so unintentionally?" ”

"Madame was drugged." A fine light flashed in Mama Luo's cloudy eyes, and she spoke slowly.

"Madame's food is all used by Mama Xu's eyes first, and then checked by the old slave herself, it is absolutely impossible to be poisoned." Mama Zhang looked puzzled and spoke strangely.

"Madame's symptoms are obviously inhaling a large amount of musk and psychedelic drugs, so that Madame has already shown signs of slippery tires, and people are very irritable and angry, so they will easily have a miscarriage." Mama Luo shook her head and said categorically.

"Inhalation?" Mama Zhang looked at the room in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "Mama Luo, is there anything wrong with you looking at the house?" ”

Mama Luo looked around, shook her head and said, "No, madam, think about it, what strange smell have you smelled during this time?" ”

"Strange smell?" The eldest lady lowered her eyes and pondered carefully.

"It's Aunt Xia!" Mama Zhang suddenly looked at the eldest lady, and said with an anxious face: "Madam, do you still remember, that day when the old lady said that she let Xia Er carry her aunt, you also lost your temper, and the old slave persuaded you to open it at that time, didn't you say that you didn't know why you were angry, do you remember?" ”

"Is that her?" The eldest lady's mind suddenly became clear, and she said angrily: "Call that slut to me!" ”

Xia Er came to say hello every day, and every time she saw her, she would be extremely angry, and every time she would punish her for kneeling in front of her, could it be that the aroma on her body was the real reason for her signs of slippery tires?

"Aunt Xia, it's really a good means." At this time, the eldest lady looked at Xia Er who was kneeling in front of her bed and sneered, "I didn't find that you are still hidden." ”

"Madame, the slave has done nothing." Xia Er has always been obedient in front of the eldest lady, even if she carried her aunt, she still called herself a slave in front of the eldest lady. "The fragrance on the slave maid is the incense-making craft that the slave learned from an old woman at the border, if the lady doesn't believe it, she can let the grandmother search for it."

"Do you think I'm a fool?" The eldest lady looked at Xia Er and said, "I don't have a child, is it possible that you still keep those things for me to find out?" ”

"Madam, the slave really didn't do anything." Xia Er spoke anxiously, "How is the fragrance on your body different from the other day when you smell me?" ”

Indeed, the fragrance on Xia Er's body at the moment is no different, could it be that there is someone else who poisoned her? The eldest lady frowned and glanced at Mama Luo.

Mama Luo understood, stepped forward to check on Xia Er, and Xia Er knelt in place and did not move a minute to let Mama Luo search her body.

"Back to the master, it's really not her." Over there, Mama Zhang also brought back the news, "The old slave checked Xia'er's purchase list, and also found the girl to verify, Xia Er has not purchased musk." ”

The eldest lady looked at Mama Luo, and when she saw that Mama Luo also shook her head, she slowly spoke: "It seems that I really blame you." ”

"Xia Er is loyal to Madame and will never betray Madame." Xia Er swore an oath, "But the slave knows who poisoned her." ”

"Who?" The eldest lady looked at Xia Er.

"Aunt Bing." Xia Er said categorically, "Aunt Bing once said in front of the slave maid that the eldest lady wants to teach her son badly, it is not so easy, the slave maid thought that Aunt Bing was just angry at that time, but when she heard that the lady had no children, she knew that Aunt Bing was planning to do so." ”

"Do you think I'll believe it without evidence?" The eldest lady looked at Xia Er coldly.

"If Mrs. Hui says, the slave and maid will naturally have evidence." Xia Er raised her eyes and glanced at the eldest lady and said, "Aunt Bing once arranged for a fire girl to buy musk, but the slave maid took the first step. ”

"Madam, the cook in the second room is here to deliver condensing tea again." At this time, Mama Xu walked in and reported to the eldest lady.

"Rushed back and said no." The eldest lady opened her mouth angrily, and Mama Xu was about to walk out, but she heard the eldest lady shouting, "Wait, leave the things behind." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Mama Xu didn't think much about it when she heard this, so she went outside to take the condensing tea and sent the cook away.

"You're a clever man." The eldest lady looked at Xia Er and said, "You go down first, the fire girl has shown me, I have my own use." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Xia Er respectfully withdrew.

"Madame, do you believe her?" Mama Zhang said in a low voice, "Although nothing was found, it is not ruled out that the two of them conspired." ”

"Do you know why Aunt Bing has been in the mansion for many years, and I have never touched her?" The eldest lady leaned on the bed and said: "It's because once the master accepts a concubine who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, even if I don't do it, Liu Bing will do it, which is naturally good." ”

"Madam, but Aunt Bing used her brains on Madame this time, so naturally she can't keep it." Mama Zhang spoke.

"Xia Er is a clever person, and if she cultivates her well, she will definitely be able to replace Aunt Bing, so it's time to clean up that slut." The eldest lady said fiercely, "I have indulged her temperament for so many years, but I didn't expect her to have such a mind. ”

"What is the lady going to do?" Mama Zhang nodded and asked.

"The most important thing now is not Aunt Bing, but to drag the girl in the second room into the water." The eldest lady clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said: "She thinks I don't know her thoughts, she must be a scourge to Zhu'er, I must let her lose the old lady's heart first, and when the second room moves out of Yue's house, what happens to that girl has nothing to do with us." ”

"That's why the lady left that bowl of contemplative tea?" Mama Zhang suddenly realized.

"Mama Luo, I'll leave this matter to you." The eldest lady watched as Mama Luo took out a bamboo tube from her sleeve, dripped something into the contemplative tea, and then poured the bowl of tea into the flower pot, leaving only a little residue.

"Madam, the old lady is here with Doctor Huang." Mama Xu walked in and said to the eldest lady, "I said that it was for Mrs. to condition her body." ”

"That's providence." The eldest lady sneered, "I was about to invite the old lady, and the old lady came, and it was even more convincing for the old lady to let the female doctor Huang diagnose her." ”

"Big lady! Big lady! Come on! As soon as the old lady and Doctor Huang walked to the gate of the courtyard, they heard Mama Zhang's cry for help in the house.

"What's wrong? Female Doctor Huang, quick, go and see. The old lady also walked into the house quickly with the support of Mama Gu.

"Old lady, Madame is poisoned!" Female Doctor Huang, who had just stepped in earlier, frowned, as if she had already diagnosed the result.

"What!" The old lady staggered a few steps and asked in surprise, "Poisoned?" What kind of poison did you get into? ”

"Old lady, the eldest lady seems to have inhaled an excessive amount of musk before, and she didn't have a seizure before, but now she has all been aroused by poisoning." Female Doctor Huang cautiously spoke, "The eldest lady's slippery tire seems to have a lot to do with the previous inhalation of musk. ”

"You useless minions!" The old lady scolded angrily, "There is such a big mistake in letting you serve the good lady!" ”

"Old lady, wronged!" Mama Zhang hurriedly knelt on the ground and said again and again: "The food and use of the eldest lady are all handled by the old slave and Mama Xu herself, there is absolutely no problem." ”

"Who sent this bowl of tea?" Female Doctor Huang's eyes were attracted by the contemplative tea on the table, and she carefully examined it and said, "This bowl of tea not only contains a small amount of musk, but also contains psychedelic drugs. ”

"What?" Mama Zhang opened her mouth in surprise and said in disbelief: "This bowl of tea was sent by the second girl's cook!" ”

When Female Doctor Huang heard this, she knew that this matter had involved the secrets of the Yue family, so she got up on the spot and went to the table to write a prescription and said, "The eldest lady is fine, but there are some taboos in the recent period, and I have written it on it." ”

"Thank you, Doctor Huang." The old lady thanked her and sent the female doctor away.

Turning around, the old lady frowned and said to Mama Gu, "Mama Gu, you go find someone to escort the cook over." ”

After Mama Gu left, the old lady was silent for a while, looked at Mama Zhang and said, "Are you sure this bowl of tea was sent by the second girl?" ”

"Back to the old lady, during this period of time, the second girl's cook will send Ning Shen tea every day, saying that the second girl specially ordered it." Mama Zhang cried and spoke, "The old slave and Mama Xu both felt that the second girl had a heart, so they never thought about it, but they didn't expect that there was a problem here." ”

"Mother-in-law!" Coincidentally, the eldest lady turned around leisurely at this moment and looked at the old lady with a confused expression, "Mother-in-law, when did you come over?" Mama Zhang didn't call me a word! ”

"It doesn't matter, you rest." The old lady patted the eldest lady's hand and said with some complaints, "You were poisoned, if I hadn't come in time, you wouldn't have known how you didn't, why are you still so careless after so many years?" ”

"Poisoned?" The eldest lady said in surprise, "Mother-in-law, who poisoned you?" ”

"Don't ask about this matter, I'll make the decision." A trace of sadness flashed in the old lady's eyes, and she didn't say much.

The eldest lady looked at Mama Zhang, Mama Zhang nodded slightly, and the old lady who got up and walked to the main room to sit naturally did not see the secret communication between the eldest lady and Mama Zhang.

It was just a stick of incense, and the cook was brought in.

"Say, how did you poison the eldest lady in this condensing tea!" Mama Gu spoke viciously.

"Wronged, where does the old slave dare to poison the eldest lady?" The cook knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, "The old slave makes condensing tea for the second master, the second lady and the second lady every day, all of which come out in one pot, the old slave is really wronged, the old lady, you want to be the master of the old slave!" ”

The old lady turned her head to look at Mama Gu again, Mama Gu simply brought all the people in the kitchen in the second room, and asked who handled the condensing tea, which confirmed what the cook said was true.

The old lady said angrily: "This condensing tea only passes through your own hands, and now you have to deny it if something happens!" ”

The cook was stunned, and kowtowed again: "Old lady, on the way to the old slave, I met the big girl Yun'er next to Aunt Bing, and said that the silver tael given by Aunt Bing was lost, and asked the old slave to find it, and the old slave delayed for a while, and the old slave should die, begging the old lady to spare her life." ”

"Go and bring Aunt Bing and the girl next to her!" The old lady had a gloomy face and commanded. <
