Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 65 Wrist
In Qiutang courtyard, the north wing room was surrounded by servants on three floors, whispering.

Li Taiwei brought Dafu and Nianxia into the door when he saw the commotion inside.

Nian Xia stepped forward with a straight face, and reprimanded:

"Presumptuous! What are you all doing here? Don't you all need to work today?"

Nian Xia is the eldest girl of the long house, she has a lot of face in the mansion, the people in the second house were startled when they heard the sound, and saw the princess came in person, hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow to Li Taiwei, then retreated obediently to the side.

Li Taiwei glanced hastily, and looked at Baitao who was huddled in the crowd, with sharp eyes:
"What are you doing outside? Where's the young lady?"

Bai Tao looked at Li Taiwei with flustered eyes, and hurriedly bowed and said:
"Going back to the princess, the young lady is inside, and the doctor is seeing Miss Xue Biao. The slave, the slave, the slave is here to welcome the princess."

As Baitao was talking, she secretly glanced at Li Taiwei, her face flushed slightly.

When Nian Xia saw her sneaky appearance, she frowned, but after all, Bai Tao was a dowry girl brought from the Zhao family by the eldest mistress of the second room, she hesitated a few times, but she couldn't make a sound.

Li Taiwei sneered in his heart, but did not reveal anything on his face:
"Follow me in and have a look."

Baitao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up to lead the way. With a few words, Nian Xia dispersed the maids surrounding the door, and followed Li Taiwei into the door.

In the bedroom, Mrs. Xue was lying straight on the couch, her face was pale, if not for the breath, she would look like a dead person.

Biyun knelt in front of the couch with her eyes swollen from crying, sobbing and looking at the doctor who leaned over to prescribe the medicine.

Clutching the handkerchief, Mrs. Zhao stood silently aside, with a very bad expression on her face.Kneeling beside her was a maid who was trembling and weeping softly.

Seeing Li Taiwei coming, Zhao's eyes showed a bit of anticipation, and he couldn't care less about etiquette, and stepped forward to hold Li Taiwei's hand, his eyes turned red immediately.

Seeing her like this, Li Taiwei quickly pressed her palm heavily, and then gave her a wink to show her peace of mind, and she must not lose the majesty of being a housewife in front of slaves.

When Zhao received the gaze, her heart froze, and her expression gradually calmed down.

"The princess, the doctor said that Biaogu Xue was poisoned, but Luyi only came into the house to serve her this morning, and she was given to me by my grandmother. How could that be?"

"The princess!"

Biyun cried and kowtowed to Li Taiwei's side, interrupting Mrs. Zhao's words:

"My girl was fine when she got up early, but I asked Miss Luyi to serve her. She didn't wake up after lunch and slept. Someone must have set her up. I beg the princess to be the master of my slave!"

Zhao's face suddenly turned pale, and she opened her mouth to explain, but was stopped by Li Taiwei's eyes.

Li Taiwei looked sideways at Biyun who was full of tears, and said coldly:
"Nian Xia, slap her on the mouth!"

Nian Xia was startled, raised her eyes to look at Li Taiwei, then straightened her back, stepped forward and waved her hands to slap her face.

There were two crisp sounds of "Papa", Biyun was stunned, staring at Li Taiwei in a daze, and Baitao, who was beside Zhao Shi, trembled in shock.

It took Biyun a long time to come back to his senses, covering his hot cheeks, tremblingly said:

"Prince of the County"

Li Taiwei's brows and eyes were filled with hostility, and the amber eyes were full of coercion:
"Master is talking, how can you, a servant, interrupt you! This slap is to remind you to remember your identity! This is the Li family and the Prime Minister's mansion, and it is not a place where you, a young slave of the Xue family, can mess around!"

"The doctor has not yet stated when your girl was poisoned, and why? You are a servant, but you are so eloquent, wishing to pour all the dirty water on the master, how can you be at ease?"

"Or what did you see and what do you know? Otherwise, where would you have the guts to accuse my grandmother of poisoning your master?"

Biyun made Li Taiwei speechless, kowtowed to Li Taiwei and begged for mercy.

Li Taiwei changed the topic, frowned and looked at Baitao:

"Just now your master asked a servant to accuse and bully you like this. As a first-class maid beside the mistress, you don't know how to vent your anger on the mistress, and even ran outside to hide! What's the use of the second room keeping you!"

"Come here! Tie up this slave and send it to the Zhao family, and tell Mrs. Zhao to teach her a lesson!"

Baitao didn't have time to react, just as she was about to open her mouth, she asked two rough women from outside to gag her mouth, and tied her up immediately.

Baitao looked at Li Taiwei in horror, then turned to look at Mrs. Zhao.

Zhao's body trembled, and blurted out;
"Princess, you can't do it."

Li Taiwei raised her eyes and glared at Zhao Shi, Zhao Shi froze, swallowed back the words in shock, and looked at Li Taiwei timidly.

Li Taiwei said coldly to the rough woman:
"Why are you still in a daze? If sister-in-law hadn't pleaded for mercy today, this kind of slavish slave would definitely be punished!"

Seeing that Mrs. Li got angry slightly, the careless woman didn't dare to delay, she carried the white peach on one side and the other on the right, and dragged it out like a chicken.

The inside and outside of the wing room suddenly became quiet, and the servants who had been peeking outside stretched their necks hurriedly retreated.Even in the wing room, all the maids did not dare to raise their heads and make a sound.

Li Taiwei raised his eyelids, looked at the doctor who was sweating on his forehead, and asked:

"Excuse me, can you take a trip, the current situation...is it more important?"

The doctor bowed, raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead, said he dare not take it seriously, and continued:
"This girl accidentally ate the Soul Eater Grass, and she was poisoned."

Everyone was startled, and Zhao's face turned pale again.

Li Taiwei looked at the doctor and motioned him to continue.

The doctor said:
"Although this herb is a bit more poisonous, it's not enough to hurt people's lives. There will be symptoms of vomiting blood and fainting, but if you take the medicine, you will wake up after two or three hours. Just now I felt the pulse for the girl, and she was poisoned. If it’s not deep, take it for three to five days according to the old prescription, and you’ll be almost cured.”

Hearing what the doctor said, a big stone fell in everyone's hearts, and Biyun's expression softened a little.

"Where did this soul-eating grass come from? How could such things get mixed into the mansion?"

Li Taiwei looked at Lu Yi who was still kneeling on the ground.

She served Mrs. Xue's meal today, if she was poisoned by eating something, Lu Yi would not have noticed it.

Lu Yi trembled all over, hurriedly kowtowed and said:
"Not a slave. Absolutely not a slave."

"Princess, today's meals are brought from the dining room. The servant girl didn't know what my cousin liked when she first came, so she didn't dare to serve her. It was Grandma Xue who instructed the servant to serve her."

"Besides, when the slaves are serving, Miss Biyun will be there to tell Aunt Xue what Auntie Xue is eating, and she can see clearly."

After Lu Yi finished speaking while crying, Biyun's expression became panicked, she opened her mouth, but when she looked at Li Taiwei, she was speechless.

Li Taiwei turned around, looked at Xue who was lying lifeless on the couch, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Interesting.
"Get up."

Mrs. Li slightly bent the corners of her mouth, and ordered outside:
"Order someone to go to the yamen to invite the second master. Today's matter still needs to be decided by him."

"You don't need to invite the second master!"

As soon as Li Taiwei finished speaking, Li Yao supported Bai Shi, and lifted the curtain from the outside to come in
