Chapter 66: Finding the Real Culprit
"Wait!"
Everyone was stunned, Cheng Yong had pushed away the two mothers-in-law and hugged his mother in his arms. Without waiting for the two mothers-in-law to pull again, Yuan Xi had already entered the door and snatched the chopsticks from Feng's mother's hand.
A pair of wenge chopsticks stirred in the oil-stained soup pot, picking up a chopstick red petals, red as fire, very dazzling. The corners of Yuan Xi's lips hooked slightly, and he laughed: "The case has been solved." ”
You Shi's hostility towards Yuan Xi was hard to dissipate, and when she heard her say this, he felt extremely uncomfortable: "What does the third miss mean by this? This case has already been solved, and the third miss will inevitably be suspected of being an afterthought, right?"
Yuan Xi shook his head, shook the red flower on the tip of the chopsticks in front of You Shi's eyes, and sneered: "Auntie, it doesn't matter if it's in front of the horse or behind the horse, it can be hit, don't you say?"
You Shi knew that it was extremely inappropriate to quarrel with Yuan Xi here at this time, and the top priority was to put a conclusion on the matter of Yu Shi framing He Qingqing's miscarriage.
You Shi threw himself into the old lady's arms: "The old lady knows, I only have one son, Cheng Zhen, and now I finally have a grandson, but it's gone." That child is also the incense of our Wei family, old lady, you have to call the shots for your daughter-in-law! I really don't dare to live under the same roof with such a poisonous woman!"
"Who do you say is a poisonous woman!" Cheng Yong saw that his mother was insulted by You Shi, and he was angry, but as soon as he said a word, he was scolded back by Wei Dongshu.
With Chengyong's roar, You Shi cried even more fiercely. She didn't stop if she didn't reach her goal, and the old lady couldn't coax her, so she could only look at Wei Dongshu with a smile. Wei Dongshu waved his hand: "Take the Yu family down first." ”
"Slow," Yuan Xi stretched out his hand to stop it, and stretched out the chopsticks saffron to Wei Dongshu's eyes: "Dad, what's wrong with this safflower?"
Wei Dongshu is a businessman, so he can't see the strangeness of this red flower. Mother Feng glanced at You Shi, lowered her head and did not speak.
Yuan Xi smiled: "Dad, can't you see this? There is no trace of this safflower being boiled at all." ”
Wei Dongshu frowned. Yuan Xi stretched out the chopsticks in front of Feng's mother, and said, "All the dishes in the pharmacy are air-dried safflowers, soaked in hot water, and the petals are stretched." Soaking in warm or cold water makes a big difference, and a petal may be half soaked or half not. Even the girl who boiled the chrysanthemum water in the teahouse knew this. ”
The old lady pondered it a little, and also felt that this was the truth, and it was common to make flower tea with warm water.
Yuan Xi saw that the old lady agreed with his point of view, so he said: "If the safflower was added to the soup by Aunt Yu, it must have been cooked, how can it be like this, sticky and can't stretch?"
Yuan Xi turned his head to You Shi and said solemnly: "So, Aunt You, there is someone else who killed your grandson." ”
Wei Dongshu didn't believe it, and when he heard what Yuan Xi said, he said a few yes in a row, and asked someone to let Aunt Yu go. Yu shrank beside Cheng Yong, tears of grievance rippled.
Yu's crisis was solved, but the old lady became more and more uncomfortable in her heart, and pointed to Feng's mother: "You say, who instructed you to put saffron in the soup?"
Feng's mother knelt on the ground with a voice: "Old lady, I have died unjustly, I didn't put this red flower at all, so where did I get the instructions?"
You Shi also said: "Yes, old lady, Mother Feng is the person in my room, this He family is pregnant with my grandson in the belly, the tiger poison does not eat children, you won't even suspect me, right?"
The old lady stretched out her hand and pulled You Shi up: "I'm not suspicious of you, I'm not worried about her!"
Mother Feng had a flash of inspiration and suddenly shouted: "Old lady, you can't believe their words, Aunt Yu just said that I abused Miss He, but you can also see that I am just scraping Miss He." They deliberately wronged me, in case they just let the soup cool and then add safflower, I don't know. In this way, not only did you frame the old slaves, but also exonerated them themselves, you have to be aware of it!"
Wei Dongshu frowned, secretly disgusted in his heart, when will this pool of deep water be clarified?
Yuan Xi sneered: "Mrs. Feng, this 'they' in your mouth, but even I am included?"
Mother Feng subconsciously wanted to answer yes, but when she saw You Shi quietly shaking her head, she shrank and didn't speak.
Yuan Xi said sharply: "You dare to frame this county lord?"
Mother Feng's body trembled, and her heart beat wildly, framing her aunt for being a small matter, and the wife of the county lord's court is not so easy to mess with.
You Shi hurriedly took over the words: "Yuanxi, don't worry too much, you have been running for your second brother for the past few days, and your aunt has also seen it." No one can doubt you. I know you've always been close to this poisonous woman, but at this time, you have to have a clear grudge. ”
You Shi still insisted that Aunt Yu was a poisonous woman, and said that Yuan Xi was close to the poisonous woman. As the saying goes, when it comes to ink, is it clear that Yuan Xi is not distinguishing between right and wrong?
Yuan Xi licked his lips: "Is my aunt teaching me a lesson?"
If in the past, the old lady didn't say it, Wei Dongshu also taught Yuan Xi two sentences, but now that Yuan Xi has been named the lord of Donglin County, there is really no reason for an aunt to play the role of an elder authority in front of Yuan Xi. Wei Dongshu sighed and didn't speak.
You Shi saw that Wei Dongshu didn't help him this time, so he could only get off the donkey and laugh with him: "Third girl, how can my aunt mean that, my aunt is worried that you won't care about it for a while, and you will fall for that poisonous woman." ”
Yuan Xi snorted: "Since Aunt He also said that she should care about everything, then I want to ask, now that Miss He is still unconscious, she is so anxious to ban Aunt Yu's feet, why is this?"
Wei Dongshu sighed: "Xi'er, this matter is not what you should ask about a girl's family, now it's late at night, you go back and rest, you have to go to the store tomorrow." ”
Yuan Xi glanced at Cheng Yong and said resolutely: "Dad, it's about Aunt Yu's innocence, and I have to ask about it this time." Miss He hasn't woken up yet, and when she wakes up, I want to ask, Mother Feng prides herself on being considerate, could it be that Miss He drank a bowl of soup from Aunt Yu after being hungry for a day?"
Feng's mother sighed in her heart and almost peed her pants. Yuan Xi saw that her chest was very obvious together, so he sneered: "Mrs. Feng, if you are afraid, it is still too late to change your words." ”
Mother Feng shook her head resolutely and denied it.
Yuan Xiyi stretched out his hand to Cheng Yong and said, "Big brother, bring the needle bag." ”
Cheng Yong took out a brocade bag from his sleeve, opened it and opened it to be a roll of silver needles, Yuan Xi twisted one and teased it slightly on the candle, pierced one of He Qingqing's fingers, and put a few drops of blood. You Shi no longer understands art, but also understands the truth of connecting ten fingers and putting serum stasis. I'm also afraid that He Qingqing will wake up at this time, and things will be reversed.
You Shi wiped the corners of his eyes: "Master, old lady, the third girl is still a child, you two can't let her mess around like this." I think it must have been the poisonous woman who tried some kind of demon trick for the third girl, so the third girl would be so iron-hearted to listen to her mercy!"
Cheng Yong said coldly: "Aunt You, are you afraid that Miss He will wake up and confront you in court, right?!"
"Cheng Yong! Wei Dongshu watched Yuan Xi prick the needle with his hands behind his back. When the third finger was stabbed, He Qingqing sighed and slowly opened his eyes. As soon as she woke up, she reached out and touched her lower abdomen, but she didn't touch anything. The dose of medicine left by Doctor Zhang completely cleaned the child, and He Qingqing felt a throbbing pain in his heart and cried.
You Shi suddenly stepped forward and hugged He Qingqing and cried with him. He Qingqing had just lost her child, and when she heard someone crying, she couldn't help but feel even more sad, and she cried so much that her face was red and her ears were red.
The old lady stretched out her hand to Layou: "That's it, you let her rest well, it's even worse if she cries in the little moon and breaks her eyes." ”
You really had no way to delay, so he couldn't hold He Qingqing and cry for a few hours, so he had to let go of his hand and stand beside the old lady.
Yuan Xi wiped his tears for He Qingqing, and said warmly: "The doctor said that you eat too little, and your body is overwhelmed, so you will have a miscarriage." I heard Mother Feng say that you don't have much appetite this day, and you only drank a bowl of chicken soup. You are also a mother, even if not for yourself, you have to eat for the sake of your children!"
You Shi was just about to speak, but was stopped by Wei Dongshu raising his hand.
He Qingqing saw that Yuan Xi was gentle, and pulled her back: "You save me, save me, let me go back to the flower building!"
Yuan Xi patted her on the shoulder: "My imperial court is the lord of Donglin, you can tell me if you have any grievances, and I will call the shots for you." But you have to tell me, why don't you eat?"
"She! She didn't allow me to eat, she beat and scolded me for the past two days, you see!" He Qingqing rolled up his sleeves, but only saw traces of scraping.
Feng's mother said: "Miss He, I know that you came from a poor family and have never seen the world, but you can't talk nonsense, it's called gua sha, it's a little painful, but it's good for your body!"
He Qingqing was speechless, Yuan Xi gritted his teeth, this Feng Pozi's ability to lie is simply first-class. Yuan Xi said sharply: "Mrs. Feng, I don't care if you scrape or not, I only ask you, why don't you give Miss He a meal?"
You Shi laughed dumbly: "Third girl, Miss He herself said that Mother Feng didn't allow her to eat." Even so, her miscarriage must have been due to drinking this chicken soup. In the final analysis, it's still the poisonous woman Yu who is doing the trick!"
Yuan Xi frowned and looked at He Qingqing: "Doesn't she even allow you to drink saliva?"
"Xu is Xu, but it is only cold, and there is only one bowl of water every day, and it will be gone after drinking. He Qingqing was lifeless, and without a child, she seemed to have lost half of her life.
"Do you hear that?" Miss He said, and Mrs. Feng gave her a bowl of cold water. Yuan Xi stood in front of Feng's mother: "Didn't you say that you take care of Miss He in every detail? You know that Miss He is pregnant with her second brother's child and can't catch a cold, so you still give her cold water?"
You Shi quibbled: "Third girl, now that you are tracking down the real culprit of the saffron, you are always holding Mother Feng, do you want to divert the conflict?"
Yuan Xi looked at You Shi sharply, and asked He Qingqing: "Miss He, you tell your grandmother and father loudly what the bowl of water you drink tastes like." ”
The pregnant woman's mouth is heavy, and the taste in the water is light, where did He Qingqing drink it, so she shook her head: "I just remember that it is light yellow." ”
Yuan Xichong arched his hand at the old lady: "Grandmother, the truth is revealed." ”
