Chapter Forty-Eight: Motherhood
Since she wants to leave this place of intrigue, then let her go when the time comes.
"Who do you think is responsible for this incident?" Xie Wanqing suddenly spoke.
Yuexin knew that she was referring to last night, and she was suddenly called back by Aunt Fang last night, but Aunt Fang was Xie Wanqing's biological mother, so it shouldn't be her, so she replied: "The eldest lady has been staying quietly in her yard these days. ”
was ridiculed like that in the General's Mansion before, Xie Wanyun was such an arrogant person, but now he has endured it for several days without moving, no matter how you look at it, it is not right.
Xie Wanqing had the same idea as Yuexin, it shouldn't be Aunt Fang, she wasn't in such a hurry, and if she wanted Xie Wanqing's life, she would just quietly send someone to put some deadly poison in the meal, although it was said that the small courtyard was now replaced by a newcomer sent by the Ye family, but if Aunt Fang really wanted to come in and do something, it would definitely not be difficult.
Looking forward to her death so much, it seems that Xie Wanyun really hates her.
"Did I drink the medicine today?" She had slept from last night until this afternoon, and she didn't know what had happened in between.
Yue Xin knew what she was thinking, and replied: "Back to Miss, the doctor prescribed medicine, and the slave maid boiled it with her own hands. ”
At that time, Xie Wanqing's high fever did not go away, and if she didn't drink the medicine, she was afraid that it would be more than lucky. Seeing that Xie Wanqing has been cautious in eating these days, Yuexin also paid attention to it, and arranged for Mama Zeng to take care of her in her sleep, followed the doctor to grab the medicine, and boiled it with her own hands, so she dared to bring it over to Xie Wanqing to drink.
Hearing this, Xie Wanqing's face finally relaxed a little, "You did a good job." She complimented.
"How is Mama Feng?"
Although Mama Xin had instructed not to tell Xie Wanqing about Mama Feng first, she was afraid that she would be frightened again, and Yuexin looked at the child in front of her now, but felt that only by letting her know the news would she get better faster, and only when she got better, Mama Feng's unjust death could get Zhaoxue.
"Mama Feng was picked up this morning, and she was holding another corpse tightly, and the guards couldn't separate it." Yuexin told her what she had heard.
"What does the old lady say?"
"The two corpses were soaked, Mama Feng could still recognize them by her clothes, but the other corpse couldn't be recognized by the maids and maids in the house, and the man's face was full of old scars, which was said to look terrifying. The people in the house were panicked, suspecting that someone from outside had sneaked in and harmed people, so the old lady asked people to report to the official, and there should be news this afternoon. ”
It won't be people from outside the palace, although the defense of the Anyang Hou Mansion is not as good as the palace, but the guards patrol back and forth in two shifts every day, and ordinary people don't get in so easily. Besides, since that person's face is like that, it must be easy to attract attention, and it is impossible for the guards to not see such a person when he enters the Anyang Marquis Mansion.
And how could Xie Wanyun go to find someone outside the house, she is a girl in the boudoir, and she doesn't step out of the door, Xie Wanqing doesn't believe that she has this ability.
At this time, in the main hall, the old lady sat on the top, the Ye family and the Huang family sat on both sides, and the maids held their breath and did not dare to breathe.
Two corpses were fished out of the lotus pond, which is not unusual in a large family. The government also knew that the old lady reported the case just to use their mouth to stabilize people's hearts and remove people's suspicions.
If this corpse was not fished out in the early morning and seen by the people in the house, but quietly scooped up and buried in the dead of night, there would be nothing to do with them.
Now that the case has been reported, the process still has to be followed.
Therefore, in the morning, he sent a post-mortem examination, and it was soon found that both of them had drowned.
"Take the trouble to check, what kind of enemy does Mama Feng have?" The old lady spoke.
The meaning of this is obvious, that is, the other person who died is counted as Mama Feng's enemy. Something happened to a big family, and they reported to the official, and in the end, most of them just found a reason to prevaricate in the past, after all, who would care so much about the life and death of a subordinate.
The little official who came to know these things well, and hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, old lady, I'll check it carefully when I get back." ”
Seeing that he was sensible, the old lady nodded and said, "Then thank you very much." ”
"The old lady is serious, this is within my boundaries."
As he spoke, he prepared to lead people around.
The servant seemed to hesitate for a long time, and finally stood up and said, "Old lady, I found that Mama Feng has something on her hand, I'm afraid it doesn't have chickenpox." ”
As soon as he said this, the old lady's face suddenly turned ugly.
Why is it so good, I have chickenpox? And no one knows?
You must know that in the Great Zhou, most people who have chickenpox can't survive. Chickenpox spreads very quickly and has an incubation period, which may take several days before it suddenly springs up in people. Often at this time, even the doctor does not dare to come for treatment, for fear of contracting the disease.
Ye Shi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered someone to ask for a doctor: "Hurry up and see if the second lady is okay, and the other people in her yard will also check, clean up Mama Feng's house, burn all her things, don't leave them behind." ”
Huang's frightened heart jumped when he didn't make a fuss, and the maids around him were even more panicked, chattering from ear to ear.
Seeing this, the old lady slapped on the coffee table, and said in a majestic voice: "Okay! What are you panicking about! Isn't that still undecided? He also instructed Mama Xin: "When the doctor enters the house, let him come first to see if Mama Feng has chickenpox on her body, and then do what he thinks." ”
Mama Xin nodded yes, and ordered the maid next to her to go to the door of the Hou Mansion and wait for the doctor.
He turned his head again and said, "Thank you for the reminder." ”
That guy didn't want to care about the affairs of this big family, and he knew that it was wrong to say more, but the chickenpox infection was very fast and fierce, and there were many people in the Hou Mansion of Anyang, so he couldn't bear to see these innocent people suffer, so he said more.
Seeing the old lady this time, she seemed to be displeased, and knew that it was inconvenient for her to stay longer. So he followed the little official and bowed and retired.
Seeing that those people had already left, Ye Shi waved away the extra maids, leaving only their personal maids and grandmothers by his side, and said to the old lady: "Mother, the woman who can't recognize her name is also the mother-in-law in our house, why do you want the government to go outside to investigate?" ”
Huang was shocked when she heard this, how could she not know that there was such a person in the house?
In the end, the Ye family is the eldest lady, and the old lady once thought of letting her take over to control the inner courtyard, so she asked Mama Xin to take her to get acquainted with the people in the house, and she also knew some unknown things, but later found that the Ye family was useless, and the matter was stopped. didn't expect that Ye would stand up and speak at this time.
When the old lady heard this, she only looked at her with cloudy eyes, but did not speak.
Ye knew what the old lady meant, it was nothing more than to let the government end the matter hastily, and the mother-in-law deduced that it was Mama Feng's enemy who had a grudge outside, and the two quarreled and fought because of private matters, and their death had nothing to do with the Anyang Hou Mansion.
But it was two lives, plus Xie Wanqing's appearance last night, things were definitely not so simple, so I interjected.
"Mother, Wanqing was frightened last night, and looking at her appearance, that mother-in-law didn't want to harm Mama Feng, but ......" I want to thank Wanqing for her life. Ye didn't say this in the end, but she knew that the old lady would understand what she meant.
Sure enough, the old lady stopped her words: "Wanqing is still sick now, how to treat her after last night's events get better." ”
When Xie Wanqing is completely well, it will take at least two or three days, at that time the bodies of the two mothers-in-law are buried, and the matter is almost settled, the old lady will definitely not mention this matter for no reason, it will only make everyone's hearts that have finally calmed down panic again, and the old lady will never do such a thing that outweighs the loss.
Today's rhetoric is nothing but perfunctory.
The Ye family knew in his heart that he should not pursue this matter anymore, the big and small things in the Anyang Hou Mansion were controlled by the old lady, and she and the Huang family were just living behind closed doors. But when she thought about Xie Wanqing's appearance, crying miserably and miserably, her heart ached, coupled with the poisoned food that Yuexin sent before, it can be seen that someone just wanted Xie Wanqing to die.
And the Ye family has been in the Hou Mansion for so many years, in fact, there are not many people who can use it, and there are almost no connections between the people in the mansion, plus the old lady has been in charge of internal affairs all these years.
