Chapter 199 Excuse for illness
The murmurs of Mrs. Jiang and her daughter-in-law could not be heard by others.
But judging from the looks on their faces, it's definitely not a good thing.
"Go on?" The old lady looked at this appearance and snorted coldly: "Why did Jiang Hongtao come to Qingfeng Tower in the middle of the night?"
"That's what the second lady called you." Mrs. Jiang was heartbroken and threw all the dirty water at Shen Zhuoxi: "We, Tao'er, are honest people and cannot come over in the middle of the night for no reason."
"Old lady, you feel sorry for your granddaughter, but my grandson is also a treasure in your hands!"
The old lady snorted and continued to ask: "You kept saying that it was Zhuo Xi who asked him to come, or that he came after drinking. Can you tell me the specific time?"
Mrs. Jiang hesitated for a moment and said, regardless of the situation, "It was the second lady who specifically told Tao'er after the banquet ended and everyone left."
"Nonsense!" the old lady said angrily: "Zhuoxi went to my place as soon as the show ended. How can I tell Jiang Hongtao this?"
"This, this..." Mrs. Jiang really didn't know how to answer and looked at Mrs. Huang.
Mr. Huang also had no idea and was very confused.
She really watched the lights in Shen Zhuoxi's bedroom go out with her own eyes. Why would Shen Zhuoxi go to the old lady's place?
Shen Zhuoxi said at the right time: "I drank too much, but I'm not so confused that I don't recognize people. Jiang Hongtao and I have never had a personal relationship. How could I ask him to come to my room late at night?"
Having said this, Shen Zhuoxi knelt down on the ground, grabbed the old lady's clothes, and said firmly: "Grandma, my daughter's family name is important, Jiang Hongtao broke into my boudoir in the middle of the night to discredit her."
"If I hadn't gone to Jing'an Garden by mistake after drinking too much and thinking about diagnosing my grandmother's pulse during the day, I wouldn't have survived even if I had ten mouths."
"Please grandma find out the reason and restore my innocence!"
The old lady thought of Shen Zhuoxi's behavior after going to Jing'an Garden. She had indeed drunk too much, and her filial piety towards her was also true. Her disgust towards Jiang Hongtao also increased.
She helped Shen Zhuoxi up and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you the justice that should be given to you. It's not that you did anything wrong. Get up quickly."
Shen Zhuoxi stood up and asked Huizhi, "How did you discover Jiang Hongtao? Tell the truth."
Huizhi told everyone what happened in detail, and finally said: "There was such a big movement, and the second lady was not in the room, so the servant naturally thought that Qingfeng Tower was remote and had been robbed."
"So I rushed in, didn't even have time to light the lamp, and beat him up. If the young master hadn't yelled and announced himself, I'm afraid the injury would have been more serious."
After hearing this, the old lady's face became even darker: "It's not unjust to break into a woman's boudoir at night and beat her to death. Jiang Hongtao, I'll give you a chance to honestly explain why you went to Zhuo Xi's room."
"Otherwise, just relying on the Jiang family relatives will not be able to save your life."
Jiang Hongtao was still lying on the ground, shaking with fear.
Mrs. Jiang next to her tried to pull him up but failed, so she had to answer instead: "Maybe it's a misunderstanding. Tao'er has the problem of wandering at night. If he sleeps well in the middle of the night, he will wake up and wander around."
"In that state, others are not conscious and have gone to the wrong place unconsciously."
"Ha." The old lady was not stupid, and immediately retorted: "I also prepared a few excuses. At first I insisted that Zhuo Xi asked him to come, but now he brought up the problem of traveling at night."
"What's the reason for moving out later? Since there is something wrong, we need to find out whether it is true or not. Come and ask for a doctor!"
Shen Zhuoxi glanced at Zhuye.
Zhuye immediately understood and said: "I'll go and invite you."
A person who is Shen Zhuoxi naturally wants to hire a doctor from Renxintang. Others cannot bribe him.
At this time, Mrs. Huang thought of something and asked curiously: "Did the second lady have a premeditated plan?"
"What are you talking about?" Shen Zhuoxi asked, "What am I planning?"
Huang was full of suspicion and said: "If it wasn't for the second lady's premeditation, according to your own words, you drank too much and missed the old lady and went to Jing'an Garden, then why is there water in your room?"
If water hadn't splashed on the ground and it was slippery, Jiang Hongtao wouldn't have fallen down several times, making too much noise and attracting others.
"This is my habit, do I have to report it to you?" Shen Zhuoxi snorted coldly: "I have always had the habit of not wanting a maid to serve me when I sleep at night, so I will put a basin of water at the door for protection."
"If someone pushes the door in and the basin falls to the ground, I will definitely be awakened. It's not like today. Is this wrong?"
"We Zhuoxi are conscious, but we are afraid of people like Jiang Hongtao." The old lady helped Shen Zhuoxi sit down at the table, thought of something, and asked: "It seems that Jiang Hongtao has never been to Qingfeng Tower before, right?"
"Yes." Huizhi responded: "The young lady avoids the separation between men and women and only allows Mrs. Jiang, my uncle's wife and my cousin to come here. My uncle and my young cousin have set foot in the yard and not entered the gate."
"That's weird." The old lady turned her gaze to the stairs and said, "The layout inside Qingfeng Building is complicated. If there are no lights, how can someone who has never been here find the stairs accurately?"
"When you said it, this slave also felt strange." Hui Zhi added accordingly: "The lady's room is on the right side of the second floor, and you have to pass through a small room. Why did the young master go straight to the lady's boudoir?"
Huang retorted: "You, how do you know that our Tao'er went straight to Shen Zhuoxi's room?"
Hui Zhi sneered and said: "Because the slaves rest in that small room. Miss, I don't have the habit of serving the slaves in the house, but the slaves don't dare to neglect their duties, so they will have someone on standby in that small room every night."
"In case the young lady has something to serve in the middle of the night, the slaves will not be able to come over. Otherwise, the slaves live outside and cannot hear the movement next door and cannot catch the young master."
wrong!
Huang's heart felt cold.
After several inquiries, she found out that according to the other maids in Qingfeng Tower, there were no maids around when Shen Zhuoxi slept at night, even in the small room Hui Zhi mentioned!
But why did Eizhi say that?
Huang's eyes turned to Huizhi, and then looked at Shen Zhuoxi.
Shen Zhuoxi obviously had no expression, but why did Huang see a trace of ridicule on her face?
Before she could understand, the old lady was already angry: "From the incident to now, all signs indicate that Jiang Hongtao came to Qingfeng Tower with evil intentions."
"Come here, search him, lest he has any sharp weapons that could hurt anyone!"
"No, no, you can't do this!" Huang quickly stopped and said, "Tao'er didn't mean to break in!"
Coincidentally, the doctor Zhuye went to invite also came, it was Xu Zhisheng.
"Excuse me, Mr. Xu, for a quick trip in the evening." Shen Zhuoxi gave him a silent look: "You can show the young master on the ground to see if there is anything wrong."
After Xu Zhisheng greeted everyone, he felt Jiang Hongtao's pulse. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Except for external injuries, this young master has no other problems."
"Is there any nocturnal syndrome?" the old lady asked quickly.
Xu Zhisheng smiled: "Old lady, this nocturnal wandering syndrome is probably caused by brain problems. Young Master Biao is very normal, how could he get this disease? You are paranoid."
"No, quack doctor, you must be a quack doctor!" Mrs. Jiang immediately screamed, like a crowing rooster, with a sharp and harsh voice: "You can't even detect Tao'er's problem!"
"Yes, he made a mistake!" Mrs. Huang also added, "Tao'er obviously has a problem with wandering at night!"
Shen Zhuoxi smiled: "Mr. Xu's medical skills are well-known in Shengdu. If you don't believe it, I can make the decision to invite the imperial doctor!"
