Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 38 Trust Breakdown
Before Song Yao could think of how to respond to Jiang Wan Ning's question, Jiang Wan Ning's second sharp arrow shot at her.

"So, the ginseng soup you asked Hemerocallis to bring to me this morning was also laced with medicine, right? Although I only took a sip, the flavor mixed with it is the same as the medicine I usually drink."

"A Ning, don't listen to other people's instigation. This is absolutely not the case." Song Yao finally hardened up. The ginseng soup was gone. Jiang Wan Ning had no evidence and was just conjecture and slander.

As long as this gap can be opened, the situation may be reversed.

Hemerocallis next to him said aggrievedly: "Madam, the lady ordered the maid to stew that ginseng soup. It used a 50-year-old wild ginseng. Madam herself was reluctant to eat it, so she left it to the lady to recuperate her health..."

"My maid woke up very early and simmered it for more than an hour. I swear to God that from the time I stewed the ginseng soup to the time I brought it to Chengxintang, I definitely didn't add anything into it. .”

Song Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Hemerocallis was still quite effective.

Who knows, Hemerocallis added: "If Madam doesn't believe it, just go and test it, because the ginseng soup is too full. Before the maid brought it to Madam, she poured out a small cup. The cup of ginseng soup was still in Chengxintang." "

Song Yao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood and looked at Hemerocallis in disbelief.

Is this girl stupid?Who asked her to keep the ginseng soup?Just go and test it...

He's simply a fool who succeeds in nothing but fails in everything.

This is trouble.

Hearing this, Capt. Xing ordered his men: "Take her to get the ginseng soup."

Song Yu wanted to leave quietly, so he had to destroy the ginseng soup before the police.

As soon as I turned around, someone grabbed my arm.

Chen Pingzhang said with a faint smile: "Where are you going, Brother Song Xian?"

Song Yu stammered: "I...I...people have three urgent needs."

"It just so happens that I drank too much tea, let's go together." Chen Pingzhang held Chen Pingzhang tightly.

His own mother was being accused of poisoning and murdering her daughter-in-law. Instead of helping, the son wanted to leave.

What do you want to do?

Are you afraid that you will be involved and want to run away?
Or do you want to destroy the evidence?

No matter what the situation, Chen Pingzhang would not let him act alone.

Song Yu knew he couldn't escape, so he couldn't help but complain secretly.

Looking up, he met Xu Ziyin's concerned gaze, and Song Yu hurriedly winked at her.

Xu Ziyin understood and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Although she had just heard about the poisoning of Jiang Wan Ning, she knew it was true when she recalled that Song Yu had categorically promised her that Jiang Wan Ning would die of illness after her aunt's birthday party.

There must be something wrong with that ginseng soup. If an official took it away, my aunt would be doomed, and Song Yu might also be involved.

Xu Ziyin took advantage of no one's attention and took a shortcut straight to Chengxintang, but she didn't know that there was a tail following behind her.

"Mrs. Xu, where are you going?" Grandma Wang quickly caught up and asked with a smile.

Xu Ziyin said angrily: "I have something to do, please leave me alone while I'm busy with you."

"My servant was very busy before, but I'm not busy anymore. Madam Xu has something to do. I'll take care of it for you!" Grandma Wang said with a shy smile.

"No, don't follow me anymore." Xu Ziyin quickened her pace.

Grandma Wang also quickened her pace: "Ms. Xu, please don't be polite to me. It's my honor to help you."

Xu Ziyin was furious. This old pious woman was too blind. Don't you know that this is very annoying?
Xu Ziyin stopped and looked at Grandma Wang coldly: "I'll say it again, don't follow me."

Grandma Wang seemed not to understand Xu Ziyin's words, and smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyebrows: "Ms. Xu, are you going to Chengxintang to pick up something?"

Xu Ziyin was horrified, how could Grandma Wang know?
"How could Madam Xu do this kind of thing herself? How inappropriate would it be for someone to find out? Those who didn't know would have thought that you and Da Lang did it together... So, I'll do it for you. Okay." Grandma Wang looked flattering.

Xu Ziyin didn't want to take the risk and go out personally. Wasn't it because she couldn't find a suitable and reliable person for a while?
Now, Aunt Wang has come forward to recommend herself. Aunt Wang must want to please her, the lady who is about to take over. "Are you sure you know what to do in Chengxintang?"

Grandma Wang nodded and smiled secretly.

"Are you sure you want to help me?"

"My slave, I will help you now. You will become the head of the house in the future. Don't forget me, my slave."

Time was running out and she could not hesitate any longer. Xu Ziyin said sternly: "If you complete this matter, you will be the general manager of the inner courtyard in the future, Grandma Wang."

Grandma Wang was overjoyed and gave her a gift: "I would like to thank Madam Xu first."

"Then go ahead! I'll wait for you here."

Grandma Wang responded and left quickly. After turning the corner, Grandma Wang's steps slowed down and the flattering smile on her lips turned into a sneer.

Go to your inner court manager, I don’t care.

Today she finally understood the eldest lady's methods. The Song family was doomed.

If she wanted a good way out, she could only hug the eldest lady's thigh tightly and do something.

Grandma Wang slowly came to Chengxintang, just in time to see Hemerocallis leading the police into Chengxintang.Grandma Wang took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and leaned against the wall to crack them.

Xu Ziyin waited and waited until Grandma Wang came back to pay the errand, then she realized that she had been deceived, and her heart sank to the bottom of her heart.

She hurriedly ran back to Wei Rui Pavilion.

In Wei Rui Pavilion, Lin Ruoruo did a preliminary test of the ginseng soup and confirmed that the poison in the ginseng soup was the same as the poison in the pills.

Song Yao could no longer calm down, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.

Hemerocallis murmured with a confused look on her face: "How could this happen? I obviously just stewed a ginseng, and then brought it to the lady's room and let it sit for a while..."

With a thud, Mrs. Song Yao fainted, and even the table was turned over. The dishes and soup bowls on the table were smashed to pieces on the floor.

At this time, Mrs. Liu had nothing to say, and gave Mr. Xing a wink, which meant that you had to figure it out yourself.

Lin Ruoruo came to Song Yao's side, took out a silver needle, pointed it at his finger and pricked it.

With a sound, Song Yao woke up in pain.

In fact, she was not really dizzy, but she didn't know how to face this cruel reality. She was dizzy and confused, so she simply pretended to be dead.

Thinking that maybe by pretending to be dead, he could avoid being taken away.

However, she forgot that there was a doctor here.

Her ears were filled with accusations against her.

"I thought she was just stingy, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious and murderous."

"Yeah, look at her pretending to treat her daughter-in-law more than her daughter-in-law in front of others, and she was almost deceived."

"This is called knowing people but not knowing their hearts. Poor Lady Jiang drinks the poison given to her by her mother-in-law every day. I'm afraid she is still grateful!"

"No wonder Master Song doesn't want to see her and wants to take Aunt Zheng away. Otherwise, Aunt Zheng will not know when she was harmed by her."

"I remembered that Mr. Song had a beloved concubine who died inexplicably. It couldn't be her..."

Once trust breaks down, malicious intent will flow out like a torrent that cannot be stopped.

Song Yao was arrested and taken away like a lost dog. Jiang Wanning, as the victim, and Lin Ruoruo, who had discovered the poison, were also asked to go to the Yamen together.

Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Li and others planned to follow to see how the Yamen handled the matter.

Mrs. Chen didn't want to get involved in the Song family's affairs and was about to return home, but Chen Pingzhang got involved.
