Mother Zhao looked at the Lin family and felt that she had become more and more emboldened since she blinded the old lady's eyes to take revenge.

Aunt Wen's death, Mrs. deliberately did not let them touch their hands, just in case the Zou side showed the stuffing, there was still room for shirk. Although she doesn't know the specific details, she can guess before and after.

Now the Lin clan's hand reached out to the county lord of Yuanheng again.

Mother Zhao felt that this was a bit too risky, "Madam, why are you attacking the county lord of Yuanheng, compared to the county lord, maybe the third lady has room for calculation."

Lin pondered and said, "I understand what you mean, Mother Zhao, but I also have my considerations."

She pursed her cheeks, watched the sunset outside the window, was silent for a moment, and said, "The county lord of Yuanheng has a noble status, she is the granddaughter of the queen mother, a relative of the emperor, and the eldest lady of the Wei family. But if you think about it, if something happens to the county lord of Yuanheng, can someone plan for her and make decisions for her?"

Mother Zhao hesitated, "Old man......

"Huh...... If the queen mother is the emperor's mother, the county lord of Yuanheng is naturally worth fearing, but no. Although the emperor respects the Queen Mother, his holy light does not shine on the Queen Mother's granddaughter. The Empress Dowager drove the crane west, and Wei Shicheng no longer had a place to borrow from the county lord of Yuanheng."

Lin sneered, "The county lord of Yuanheng looked at the scenery, in fact, the difference between him and me is just that the queen mother left her a lot of wealth. Otherwise, why would she take her and her ex-husband's daughter over to the Wei family as a pawn to curry favor with Wei Shicheng?"

Mother Zhao thought about it carefully and said, "That's exactly what happened."

Lin's eyes were gloomy, "That old immortal is bent on letting me go down the court, so that Wei Shiyuan can find another kind of virtuous helper. Didn't she have the same thoughts about the county lord of Yuanheng? If there is no Yuanheng County Lord, there are countless powerful people in the middle of the Jingzhong clan, and it is difficult to guarantee that there is no one who wants to fill the house for Wei Shicheng!"

Mother Zhao lowered her voice, "That big girl Li is very useful, presumably the old lady will not think about what to do to the county lord for a while. Moreover, Miss Li seems to be soft, and she is not a stupid person."

"Hmph, it's just a child, don't be afraid."

Zhao's mother was not at ease and wanted to persuade again, but she also knew that the Lin family was forced to do her part by the Zou family.

Lin narrowed his eyes, "Although I have taken some risks to reach out to the Lord of Yuanheng, as long as the matter is completed, there is no need to worry. The Guo family is different, her mother's family is in the household department, and now the Guo family and the Wei family rely on each other, and the Guo family's position in the Wei family can be stable! If she has any strengths and weaknesses, the Wei family will inevitably have to jump and we will not be able to get out."

She paused in her voice, and then said, "There is another point, the county lord of Yuanheng has no mother's family, she is dead, and the property in her hands will be in the hands of the Wei family.

Mother Zhao nodded when she heard this, "It's still Madame's thoughtfulness."

Mother Zhao has served the Lin family for many years, how could she not know her intelligence.

Lin smiled, "But Guo Clan's place, it's not completely impossible, but you need to think of a proper idea."

Zhao's mother was startled, and the Lin family had to do it on both sides.

In the end, it was the assassination of Old Madam Wei that stimulated the Lin family, and coupled with the persecution of the Zou family, the Lin family finally let go of his hands and feet.

"The slave and maid looked at the county lord and didn't react to the rumors at all, this thing is eighty percent false."

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, someone believes in something important."

Mother Zhao was puzzled, the rumors were already weak, weren't they?

I only heard Lin Shi say again, "If you want to make something true, there is no other way than to let others take the initiative to believe it."

"What's the solution?"

"Let the suspects admit it for themselves."

Mother Zhao's eyes widened, "How is this possible? Unless the county lord of Yuanheng is crazy!"

"Of course, it is impossible to take the initiative to admit it, but if she "commits suicide in fear of sin", isn't it equivalent to passively admitting it?"

"Madam is ...... said" Mother Zhao is close to the Lin family, and she is only a subordinate, although she understands some words, she doesn't dare to say it, only

It was ambiguous and said, "Madame is saying that if the county lord dies, others will think that she is ashamed and committed suicide?"

Lin casually stroked the broken hair on his forehead, and his voice was not hurried, "Why don't you give it a try?"

*****

The autumn rain continued, and the bones of the cold people were stiffened a little, and they became more and more lazy, but all the rooms of the Wei Mansion still had to go to Heyan Hall to greet Mrs. Wei.

Li Qingyi followed behind the county lord of Yuanheng, passing through one corridor after another.

The Heyan Hall was lit up with lights, and in such a gloomy weather, it became more and more radiant.

It's just that before he entered the house, Li Qingyi heard the third lady Guo Shi exclaim, "Old lady!"

The county lord of Yuanheng frowned and strode into the house.

Li Qingyi also followed behind her and quickly ran towards the house.

Inside, in addition to Guo and Wei Laner, Lin and Wei Baozhu's mother and daughter were also there, and the girls were shouting around one by one.

Nong Shao and Yingchun were holding Mrs. Wei one by one, and one was pinching people, but Mrs. Wei closed her eyes tightly and did not respond.

As soon as the Lin clan saw the county lord of Yuanheng coming, he hurriedly said, "County lord, the old lady was talking to us a moment ago, and suddenly she collapsed, this ...... What's going on?"

Guo Shi's face turned white with fright, "Yes, county lord, the old lady fainted without warning, how can this be good!"

The county lord of Yuanheng frowned and went closer, looking at the old lady's face like gold paper, and ordered Lingxi in a deep voice, "The lord should have returned from the palace at this time, hurry up and send someone to greet him, and then ask the imperial doctor to come and treat the old lady."

After a while, the news had spread all over the house, and all the aunts and young masters and girls in the house had arrived, plus their respective maids and sisters-in-law, and they stood in the courtyard.

Wei Shicheng hurried back from outside, passing through the crowd, his face uncertain.

Imperial Physician Li was soon invited, and he repeatedly checked the old lady's symptoms and asked, "What is wrong today?"

Nong Peony and Yingchun answered one by one, and there was nothing abnormal.

Wei Shicheng frowned and said, "Except for eye diseases, my mother has always been healthy, so there shouldn't be any major problems, right?" I wonder when my mother will wake up?"

Imperial Physician Li shook his head thoughtfully, "It's not like an ordinary fainting, it's like being poisoned."

Everyone sighed in their hearts, their faces changed, Wei Shicheng looked around at everyone in surprise, and said, "Poisoning?"

Guo's legs are weak, and she is responsible for the diet up and down the house, and when it comes to poisoning at this time, it is naturally related to eating.

Wei Shicheng didn't pursue the matter for the time being, and it was the most important thing to treat Old Madam Wei first, "Imperial Doctor Li, since you can see that it is poisoned, is there a way to save it?"

Imperial Doctor Li took out a silver needle, pricked the old lady's finger, sprinkled some powder into the blood droplets, observed for a moment, and said, "The preliminary judgment is that the old lady looks like mercury poisoning."

"Mercury? How is that possible?" Guo Shi was worried in his heart, for fear that this matter would have something to do with eating, "Imperial Doctor Li, are you mistaken? The old lady can't touch such a thing as mercury anyway......

Doctor Li explained, "Under normal circumstances, it is naturally impossible to come into contact with mercury, but there are exceptions, I wonder if the old lady has used cinnabar?"

Cinnabar?

Cinnabar again!

Everyone thought of Mother Sun.

But Sun's mother is dead.

Everyone thought of Song Qian.

Could it be that Song Qian has a grudge, so she wants to poison the old lady?

The third lady Guo's face changed greatly, and she pointed at Song Qian, "It's you! Why do you want to hurt the old lady! You say!"

Song Qian was shocked, and when she heard the imperial doctor mention cinnabar, she secretly said that it was not good.

All eyes were on her.

"I didn't, how could I harm the old lady!"

"That's it!" Wei Shicheng stopped her defense and said to Imperial Doctor Li, "Please bother to diagnose and treat it."

Imperial Doctor Li said: "The old lady is deeply poisoned, and she is older, so the condition is not very good, so the lower officials should do their best."

With that, he stepped aside to pick up a pen and meditate on the prescription, and no longer paid attention to the crowd.

Wei Shicheng's gaze swept over Aunt Song and asked, "What the hell is going on!"

Aunt Song looked at Guo, Guo frowned, walked up to the old lady, and took off the forehead on her head, her face was very ugly.

This forehead wiping was handled by her, and now that there is such a big mistake, she naturally wants to make things clear first, "A few days ago, Aunt Song took the needle and thread she made herself to honor the old lady, and it was this forehead wipe."

Everyone looked at the forehead, the purple bottom, embroidered with the Eight Treasures Fushou Diagram, the stitches were neat, the patterns were complex and exquisite, and it took a lot of thought at a glance.

The third lady Guo was very annoyed when she had such an unfortunate incident, and said, "Aunt Song heard that the old lady has not been sleeping well recently, so she deliberately placed a little cinnabar in the mezzanine to calm her nerves.

Aunt Song made a forehead wipe to please the old lady, naturally she had the intention to ask the old lady for help and ask her to help her turn over, but she didn't expect such a disaster, "That forehead is just a little cinnabar, and cinnabar does have the effect of calming the nerves, how can the old lady be poisoned!"

Guo's anger soared, "The old lady has always been in good health, if it weren't for this, how could she suddenly be poisoned by cinnabar?"

Hearing this, she picked up the scissors in the basket, cut the forehead mercilessly, and with a flick of her wrist, the red powder fell to the ground with a flutter, and said angrily, "Now you still don't tell the truth?"

Aunt Song was completely frightened when she saw the red powder falling.

She didn't know how to excuse herself, she did it, but she didn't put so much cinnabar in it!

"It's not me, I don't, I just want to do some needlework to honor the old lady, and it doesn't hurt anyone......

The third lady Guo Shi clenched her teeth, she obviously asked someone to check that thing, and it was indeed only a very small amount of cinnabar in it, which could not cause poisoning at all, and because of this, there were some flaws on the edge of the forehead, and the old lady laughed at her for being too cautious.

And now, how could so much cinnabar appear in it out of thin air!
