Chapter 252 Not for anyone
  Qingfeng Building was filled with the smell of medicine that had not dissipated, and there was no one in the courtyard.
  Aunt Yuan thought to herself: The second young lady is really different from other young ladies.
  There must be three or four maids and women keeping vigil in the courtyard of the other lady's wife at night, and the main house must be very bright. The second lady doesn't like others in front of her.
  Moreover, she has not been here for some time, and the appearance of Qingfeng Building seems to have changed drastically.
  She quietly walked a few steps inside to inquire about the layout of Qingfeng Building, and unexpectedly found Hui Zhi standing in the shadow outside the door.
  "Ouch, you scared me." Mother Yuan, who was already tense, was so frightened that she covered her heart and said, "Why didn't you say anything?"
  "I have been here waiting for Aunt Yuan for a long time, as ordered by the young lady." Hui Zhi said with a smile, "Second young lady is waiting for you inside."
  Aunt Yuan hummed and said, "The smell of medicine is so strong in the yard. Has the antidote for the second lady been prepared?"
  "It's done." Huizhi nodded and said little else: "If you don't understand or want to know anything, just go in and ask the second lady."
  Aunt Yuan glanced at Hui Zhi dissatisfiedly and entered the room anxiously.
  Shen Zhuoxi was sitting at the table, playing with a delicate small porcelain bottle in his hand.
  "My slave, please give my regards to the second young lady." Aunt Yuan did not dare to hold Qiao in front of her, so she saluted.
  "Get up." Shen Zhuoxi raised his eyes and said, "Is the old lady asleep?"
  "Yes, I just fell asleep. I asked Qing'er to guard me." Aunt Yuan paused, looked at her cautiously, and said: "Second Miss, I have been holding back some questions today."
  "Do you dare to tell me how the old lady got this poison?"
  "That's why I asked you to come." Shen Zhuoxi pointed to the chair in front and said, "Sit down and talk."
  Aunt Yuan smiled sarcastically and said, "I just have to stand, I don't dare to make any mistakes."
  "It's up to you." Shen Zhuoxi pushed the porcelain bottle forward and said, "This medicine is an antidote. It should be taken by the old lady in three times. Every morning, put it in the porridge or drink it with tea. middle."
  Aunt Yuan took it, opened the porcelain bottle and looked inside, and immediately frowned: "The smell of this medicine is too strong, how can you make it invisible to others?"
  "Mom has been serving the old lady for a long time." Shen Zhuoxi supported her chin and said with a smile, "You can always find a way."
  Aunt Yuan frowned and said to the porcelain bottle: "Old lady, I don't like things with a strong smell. Every time I take medicine, I feel uncomfortable. Even medicine without taste is fine."
  "But let alone chicken soup, even a richer braised soup can't cover it up. The second lady has flattered me, and I don't know how to cover it up."
  "The old lady was so angry that she fainted and her body was weak. Since she doesn't want to take medicine, let's take dietary therapy." Shen Zhuoxi nodded on the table and said, "What about dietary therapy? It can be swallowed even with the taste of medicine."
  "Okay, I can only say that I will give it a try." Aunt Yuan still felt embarrassed: "The old lady has never been willing to eat food that smells like medicine."
  Shen Zhuoxi did not continue talking about this, but stared at Aunt Yuan's face and said, "Aren't you curious about where the poison on the old lady came from? I'm curious too."
  "There is a saying that is right. The old lady doesn't like things with a strong smell. This poison is synthesized from several things, and it is not tasteless, especially the oily leeks in it."
  "The oilseed has a bitter taste, with a strong smell of vegetable oil. Nothing can cover it up. I'm also curious about how the old lady ate it."
  Aunt Yuan knew what Shen Zhuoxi meant, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "You won't doubt me, right? I have served the old lady for many years, but I don't have the guts to attack the old lady."
  "Of course I believe in your loyalty." Shen Zhuoxi smiled half-heartedly, stared at Aunt Yuan and said, "That's why I called you here, and asked you if the old lady has eaten anything suspicious in the past month?"
  Aunt Yuan tilted her head, thinking carefully, and said: "It took too long, and I couldn't think of it for a while, but the weather is hot, and the old lady is not greedy, and she eats the same thing every day."
  "You just said that the smell of oil is very strong, and I can't think of where it can be mixed so that the old lady won't notice it!"
  Shen Zhuoxi was not in a hurry and asked instead: "The diet is normal, but where are the supplements?"
  "I didn't take much supplements. Apart from peach gum soup, bird's nest and herbal tea to relieve the heat, there was nothing else." Aunt Yuan frowned, full of suspicion, and said, "There is really nothing wrong."
  Shen Zhuoxi hissed: "Besides normal food, no one else has given the old lady anything?"
  When reminded of this, Grandma Yuan suddenly remembered, slapped her thigh and said, "As you said, it's true. The Grand Master has given the old lady milk soup brought back from outside several times."
  "The eldest lady also sent bird's nests. In addition, the young master also sent them once, but the young master sent elixirs. They said they are good things that can relieve the heat and nourish the blood and qi."
  "You must not put poison in milk soup and bird's nest." Shen Zhuoxi found a breakthrough and said with a smile: "The elixir is doubtful."
  "Impossible." Aunt Yuan subconsciously retorted: "The old lady loves the young master, and the young master is also very filial. You have been ill for many years and don't know the situation, but we all know it."
  "Whenever the young master comes back from a study tour, even if he doesn't bring anything to the eldest lady, he will definitely bring some good things, tonics, or treasures to the old lady. So many tonics are brought back."
  "Every time I eat it, it's fine. There's no way it's poisonous this time. Besides, there's no need for the young master to harm the old lady!"
  Shen Zhuoxi fiddled with the tea cup on the table and said: "You know people, faces but not hearts. How do you know that Shen Zehuan will never harm the old lady?"
  "Second Miss, please forgive me for saying disrespectful words." Aunt Yuan was a little angry, but she couldn't show it clearly, so her tone became slightly serious: "I know that you had some unpleasantness with the old lady because of the young master a few days ago."
  "You may be jealous of the young master because of this, but that's just a moment of confusion. Don't worry, in the old lady's heart, you are still her beloved granddaughter, and you will not change because of the young master."
  "You don't need to provoke. After all, the young master will inherit this huge Taishi Mansion in the future, and you will get married soon..."
  Shen Zhuoxi was not angry, but there was sarcasm in his eyes, with sarcasm: "In Grandma Yuan's heart, is this the kind of person I am?"
  Aunt Yuan herself felt that what she said was a bit harsh. She paused and whispered: "As a bystander, I am just giving advice and have no other meaning."
  "No matter what you mean, I might as well tell you directly. Who the old lady loves is her business and has nothing to do with me." Shen Zhuoxi put away her smile and said, "I didn't do all this just for the old lady to be able to how."
  "Too many things have happened in the house. If the old lady does something bad again, someone will definitely take the opportunity to say that I am a disaster star, and nothing can happen to the old lady."
  "Aunt Yuan, don't trust anyone except me, including the Grand Master, to detoxify secretly. I will find the person who poisoned you."
  Her tone was flat and normal, and even the expression on her face remained unchanged.
  But Aunt Yuan felt that she was very different from before.
