First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 647 Doubt

Du Rongzhi interrupted with a sullen face, "Do you suspect that someone is poisoning the master?"

Ruan's face turned pale, and he stammered, "I...I don't know..."

"Where did you see her take the medicine residue?"

Mrs. Ruan shook her head, "The old woman felt very alarmed, and I was afraid that she would find out, so I didn't dare to follow her... But I kept my mind on it, and in the next few days when Sister Hu and Sister Ge were sick, The concubine hid secretly in the dark, and sure enough, every time the old lady Ma took the medicine away while her sisters took it away, she would sneak out with the medicine dregs..."

Du Rongzhi's face became uglier the more she heard it. After thinking for a moment, she asked her, "Did you tell anyone else about this?"

Ruan hurriedly waved her hands and said, "No, no... No one has said anything except your concubine." She pursed her lips uncomfortably, "Actually, I don't know what she is going to do, but I just feel that this matter is revealing everywhere. It's weird... If I don't come to talk to you, I always feel uneasy..."

Du Rongzhi nodded slightly, and said seriously, "You are right to do this..." She couldn't help frowning, "It's just like you said, we still don't know her details, so it's really hard to act rashly... "

Especially now that Song Zixun is not around, as a daughter-in-law, she can't meddle in the affairs of her father-in-law's house.Although Ruan is an aunt, her foundation is too shallow after all. If she doesn't handle it well, she will easily scare the snake...

Du Rongzhi thought for a while, "When will you serve the master next time?"

Ruan hurriedly said, "Today is Sister Ge...tomorrow I will be my concubine."

Du Rongzhi nodded and thought, "Think about it, see if you can get some medicine residue out..."

....................................

After Jingsi sent Aunt Ruan out, Du Rongzhi asked Xianyun, "What do you think about this?"

Xianyun pondered for a moment, then said cautiously, "Master's body is always healthy, but this time he was stimulated by the young master's incident, so it shouldn't be so serious. It's been so long and there is still no improvement..." She After a pause, he said in a low voice, "I'm afraid there is really something hidden in it and I don't know..."

Du Rongzhi frowned.

It's an eventful time now, not only is their government in disarray because of Song Zixun's disappearance, but the court has also been turbulent recently, with frequent movements... Could it be that someone outside bribed the servants in the house to take the opportunity to attack the elder?

Otherwise...

Du Rongzhi's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and she suddenly remembered, "...Where did this Mrs. Ma work in the past? How did I not know there was such a person in Cuizhuyuan?"

Back then, in order to bring down Shen Shi, she worked hard on the people around Shen Shi, but just now when Ruan Shi mentioned Mrs. Ma, she couldn't remember this person at all... It can be seen that this person was not working in Cuizhu Garden at all. .

Xianyun said, "It's no wonder that the young lady didn't know... the old lady Ma was originally outside, and then the old lady made the decision to carry Hu Ge and two aunts for the master, and added a few waiters. The old lady Ma didn't know Whoever followed, actually followed to Cuizhu Garden..."

Du Rongzhi nodded.

She was still in childbirth at the time, and the affairs in the mansion were handled by the two wives, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Zhao...

Du Rongzhi pondered for a while, and then ordered, "Go and find out who that old lady Ma is from, and who is friendly with people in the house..."

Xianyun quickly responded.

Seeing Jing Si, who was going to see Ruan Shi off, came back from outside, Du Rongzhi asked her, "Did you explain clearly to Ruan Shi just now?"

Jing Si hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's all agreed. When Aunt Ruan gets the medicine dregs in the future, she will ask Xiao'e to hide it in the Taihu stone in the garden..."

Du Rongzhi nodded slightly, and said worriedly, "Mrs. Ruan is timid and cowardly... In your opinion, will she back down halfway?"

"I don't think so." Jing thought for a while and replied seriously, "In fact, since a cowardly and fearful person like Aunt Ruan can be honest with you today, it can be seen that in her heart, this matter is already very serious. ...And the servant girl just heard her words were full of worries for the old man...it was obviously moved from the bottom of her heart."

Du Rongzhi didn't doubt this at all.

The men in Song's family seem to be born with this kind of magical power... Needless to say, the young masters below, even their father, the Duke of the State who has known his destiny, has Shen Shi and Ruan Shi who have followed suit. Desperate.

Especially the Ruan family, now that Song Jinze is deeply in love with her, she has never experienced Shen's desolation and despair, and she regards Song Jinze as her lifelong lover and reliance...

And women, especially women in love, are willing to do anything for the man they love.

Du Rongzhi turned her head and looked out the window.

Hundreds of flowers bloomed in the courtyard, but the wintersweet that Song Zixun planted for her had already passed its flowering period.

Du Rongzhi's eyes felt a little tingly when she saw it... After a long time, she said softly, "The little girl next to Ruan's is a bubbly girl, just tell her to be more alert when the time comes, and don't startle the snake... "

Jing Si hurriedly replied, "Young Madam, don't worry, slaves will save it."

....................................

There was a strong smell of medicine coming from the corridor.

Mrs. Ma glanced at Aunt Ruan who had been seriously fanning the fire, rolled her eyes, and said with a courteous smile, "You should call your slaves to do this kind of rough work... Otherwise, the smoky smoke will ruin Auntie." But what should I do?" As he spoke, he was about to go up to pick up the cattail fan in Ruan's hand.

Ruan Shi turned her body to avoid it calmly, and sighed softly, "Master has been ill for so many days and still hasn't recovered, I feel so anxious...I can't do other things now, I can only boil the medicine for him myself... Don't grab me, Mammy."

Seeing that Mrs. Ma opened her mouth and wanted to say more, Ruan said softly, "It's Mammy, getting up early every morning to make medicine these days, it's really hard... Let's go down and rest first."

Mrs. Ma hurriedly waved her hands and said, "This servant doesn't dare." Seeing Ruan's serious and focused appearance, she couldn't say anything more, so she just moved a small stool and watched from the side.

Ruan Shiquan pretended not to see it, and continued fanning the cattail fan on his own.

After a while, when the medicine was ready, Mrs. Ma hurried up to fetch the jar, and Ruan smiled and said, "Nurse, don't be so nervous. I used to boil this medicine often, and I know what to do..."

Mrs. Ma is not willing to agree, she smiled and said, "Auntie, please let the slaves come, this pot is very hot, in case—"

"Hey!" Ruan Shi suddenly exclaimed in pain, and the jar fell to the ground with a "slap".

Mrs. Ma was taken aback, and subconsciously took two steps back. Even so, the hot medicine splashed on her pants.
