Chapter 064: Wrist
In the Qiutang Courtyard, the three floors outside the north wing were full of slaves, whispering.
As soon as Mrs. Li entered the door with Dafu and Nian Xia, she saw a commotion inside.
Nian Xia stepped forward with a straight face and scolded:
"Presumptuous! What are you doing here? Don't you have to be an errand today? ”
Nian Xia is the big girl in the long room, and she is quite face-saving in the house, and everyone in the second room was shocked when they heard the sound, and when they saw the county lord coming in person, they hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed to Mrs. Li slightly, so they retreated to the side.
Mrs. Li glanced at Bai Tao who was shrinking in the crowd in a hurry, and her eyes were sharp:
"What are you doing out there? What about the sister-in-law? ”
Bai Tao looked at Li Taiwei's eyes a little flustered, and hurriedly bowed down and said:
"Back to the county master, the eldest young grandmother is inside, and the doctor is giving a doctor to Miss Xue, slave ...... Slaves...... The slave maid is here to welcome the county lord......" Bai Tao spoke, secretly glancing at Li Taiwei, her face slightly red.
Nian Xia frowned when she saw her sneaky appearance, but after all, Bai Tao was the dowry girl brought by the eldest young grandmother of the second room from the Zhao family, and she hesitated a few times but it was not good to make a sound.
Mrs. Li sneered in her heart, but her face did not show anything:
"Come in with me and see."
Bai Tao breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly got up to lead the way, and after a few words, she coaxed the maids who were gathered in front of the door and followed Li Taiwei into the door.
In the bedroom, Xue Shi was lying upright on the couch, his face was pale, if it weren't for the breath, he would look like a dead man.
Biyun knelt in front of the couch crying and swollen her eyes, sobbing and looking at the doctor who leaned over to prescribe medicine.
Zhao held the handkerchief and stood silently aside, his face was very bad. At her side knelt a maid, trembling and weeping quietly.
Seeing that Li Taiwei was coming, Zhao's eyes showed a bit of expectation, and he didn't care about the etiquette, so he stepped forward and grabbed Li Taiwei's hand, and his eyes immediately turned red.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li hurriedly pressed her palm hard, and gave her a look, signaling her to be at ease, and not to lose the prestige of being a housewife in front of the slave maid.
When Zhao received his gaze, his heart froze, and his expression gradually stabilized.
"The county lord...... The doctor said that Cousin Xue was poisoned...... But Lu Yi only came into the house this morning to serve, and it was my grandmother who gave it to me..... How could it be ......?"
"County Lord!"
Biyun cried and kowtowed to Li Taiwei's side, interrupting Zhao's words:
"My girl is fine when she wakes up early, but I can ask Miss Green to serve...... I slept after lunch and never woke up...... Someone must have framed him, begging the county lord to be the master of the slaves! ”
Zhao's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he opened his mouth to justify, but was stopped by Mrs. Li's eyes.
Li Taiwei turned sideways and looked at Biyun with tears on his face, and said coldly:
"Nian Xia, slap her mouth for me!"
Nian Xia was startled, raised his eyes and glanced at Li Taiwei, then straightened his waist, and stepped forward to throw his hand is two slaps.
"Bang bang" two crisp sounds, Biyun was stunned in place, looking at Li Taiwei in a daze, and the white peach next to Zhao was also shocked.
It took Biyun a long time to come back to his senses, covering his hot cheeks, and said in a trembling voice:
"County ...... The county lord ......"
Mrs. Li's eyebrows were dyed with two points of anger, and her amber eyes were full of coercion:
"Master speaks, where is your slave and maid interjecting! This slap is to remind you of who you are! This is the Li family, it is the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it is not a place where you, a little slave of the Xue family, can sprinkle! ”
"The doctor has not yet said when and why your girl was poisoned? You are a slave and maid, but you are full of words, and you can't wait to splash all the dirty water on your master, what kind of heart do you have? ”
"Or ...... What have you seen and what do you know? Otherwise, where did you have the guts to accuse my grandmother's men of poisoning your master? ”
Biyun called Li Taiwei speechless, and kowtowed to Li Taiwei and begged for mercy.
Mrs. Li turned her words and looked at Bai Tao with her eyebrows:
"Just now, your master asked a slave to accuse and bully like this, and the first-class maid next to you, who is the master's mother, didn't know how to be angry for the master's mother, and ran outside to hide lazy! What's the use of keeping you in the second room! ”
"Someone! Tie up this slave and maid, twist it to the Zhao family, and ask Mrs. Zhao to train it well! ”
Bai Tao didn't have time to react, and just as he wanted to speak, he called two rough mothers-in-law outside to gag her mouth and tied them up.
Bai Tao looked at Li Taiwei in horror, and then turned her face to look at Zhao.
Zhao's body trembled and blurted out;
"The county lord...... No ......"
Li Taiwei raised his eyes and glared at Zhao, Zhao was stunned, swallowed back in shock when the words came to his mouth, and looked at Li Taiwei timidly.
Li Taiwei said coldly to the rough mother-in-law:
"Why are you still stunned? If it weren't for the sister-in-law's plea today, this kind of slave would be indispensable for a board! ”
Seeing that Mrs. Li was slightly moved, the rough mother-in-law didn't dare to delay at the moment, so she dragged out the white peach on the left and the right, like a chicken.
The inside and outside of the wing room suddenly fell silent, and the subordinates who had been outside with their necks stretched out to peek hurriedly retreated. Even in the side room, the maids did not dare to raise their heads and make a sound.
Mrs. Li raised her eyelids slightly, looked at the doctor with sweat on her forehead on the side, and asked:
"I'm sorry for you to run, and this situation is ...... But what does it matter? ”
The doctor bowed, raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, said that he didn't dare to do it, and continued:
"This girl accidentally ate the Soul Eater Grass, and that's why she was poisoned."
Everyone was startled, and Zhao's face turned a little pale.
Mrs. Li looked at the doctor and motioned for him to continue.
The doctor said:
"Although this grass is more toxic, it is not enough to hurt people's lives, and there will be vomiting and fainting, but if you take the medicine, you can wake up in two or three hours. Just now I checked the girl's pulse, but the girl was not deeply poisoned, and after eating it for three or five days according to the old prescription, she was almost cured. ”
Hearing the doctor say this, a big stone fell in everyone's hearts, and Biyun's face eased slightly.
"Where did this Soul Eater come from? How could such a thing get into Fuzhong? ”
Li Taiwei looked at Lu Yi, who was still kneeling on the ground.
Today's Xue's meal was served by her, if she ate something poisonous, Lu Yi would not be unaware.
Lu Yi trembled, and hurriedly kowtowed:
"Not a slave...... Not a slave ......"
"The county lord...... Today's meals are all sent from the dining room, and the slave maid didn't know the cousin's grandmother's preference when she first came, so she didn't dare to serve, but it was Cousin Xue who personally pointed out the slave maid to serve...... Slave maid is ......"
"Besides, when the slave served, Miss Biyun was on the side...... Aunt Xue ate what she ate, she could see it clearly......"
Lu Yi finished crying, Biyun's face also became panicked, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak when he looked at Li Taiwei.
Mrs. Li turned around slightly and glanced at Xue Shi lying on the couch, and her eyes lit up.
It's kind of interesting......
"Get up."
The corners of Mrs. Li's mouth curled slightly, and she commanded outward:
"Order someone to go to the yamen to invite the second master to come, and he still needs to be in charge of this matter today."
"You don't have to invite the second master!"
As soon as Mrs. Li's voice fell, Li Yao helped Bai Shi and came in through the curtain from outside......
