The Good Wife of Transmigration

Chapter 10 Why should cloves be poisoned?

Aunt Ruan's yard was full of excitement.In the huge courtyard, a crowd of people bustled around, and two servants in the middle were interrogating Lilac.Grandma Qiu sat on a huanghuali wooden chair in front of the main room, and asked unhurriedly, "Ding Xiang, now that everyone has stolen the money, what else do you have to say?"

Ding Xiang lowered her head, just weeping, without saying a word.

Ye Shi, the third grandma who was watching the fun, was also there to chime in: "Ding Xiang, you little girl, what kind of hatred do you have with Aunt Ruan, you must hurt her like this?"

Rui Xue said bitterly at the side: "Our aunt has nothing against her, and I hardly ever meet face to face. I think it was ordered by someone."

Mother Zhu next to him followed suit and asked, "Ding Xiang, don't try to get away with it. Who told you to put crotons in Aunt Ruan's meal? Hand over the mastermind, and maybe your life will be spared."

As soon as Mama Zhu finished speaking, Ling Lan rushed in and knelt down in front of the grandma: "Grandma, it's too bad, our grandma heard that Aunt Ruan had a miscarriage, so she must come and have a look, who knows how to get out of bed?" , and fainted!"

Qiu Shi stood up abruptly: "What? Your grandma fainted?" How could there be such a coincidence, when she interrogated her, Su fainted there.

Ling Lan repeatedly kowtowed: "Our grandma has been injured all over, and she hasn't healed yet! I'm emotional now, if there's anything wrong... Our grandma is so pitiful! Grandma is merciful, hurry up and save our grandma Bar!"

Ye curled her lips: "It's really time for the fourth sibling to get dizzy."

Qiu Shi looked down at Ling Lan for a while, seeing that she didn't look like a fake, frowned, then turned to ask Li Xia, the eldest girl beside her: "Where is the doctor?"

Li Xia replied: "The doctor is writing prescriptions in the flower hall in front!"

Qiu couldn't leave the unconscious Jiwei alone, so he had to order Lixia to lead a few servants to watch Lilac here, and she led the doctor to see the unconscious Fourth Grandma.If something really happened to Jiwei, she, the grandma in charge of the family, delayed the treatment due to trivial matters and made her condition worse, she would be more responsible.

This Dr. Chang happened to be the doctor who Jiwei invited to see a doctor after he fell and injured that day. When he entered this courtyard, he knew what to do.After giving Jiwei the pulse, Dr. Chang stroked his beard and said, "Fourth grandma fainted because of excessive stimulation and anger."

Danyun came in when Jiwei fainted, and Jiji anxiously asked beside him: "Doctor, how is our grandma? Will she be okay?"

Dr. Chang hesitated and said, "It's hard to say for now, we'll find out after the patient wakes up. However, the patient can't be stimulated any more."

Although Mama Du guessed that Jiwei might be pretending to be dizzy, she was still a little uneasy, and asked, "Doctor Chang, Imperial Physician Song prescribed a prescription earlier. Look, do you need to prescribe another prescription?"

Dr. Chang quickly waved his hand: "No, no, the prescription prescribed by the Imperial Physician Song must be good. You just need to continue to take the medicine according to the prescription after the patient wakes up." I'm sorry for those imperial doctors.

Qiu Shi heard what the imperial physician said, and asked from the side: "Doctor Chang, when will Fourth Grandma wake up?"

Dr. Chang shook his head: "I can't say for sure." Patients with internal head injuries are prone to repeated illnesses, so it's hard for him to draw conclusions casually.He couldn't afford to offend such an honorable family.Can only do not seek meritorious service, but seek nothing too much!
Mrs. Ye stepped forward and opened the curtain, looked at Jiwei on the bed, and said, "I think the faces of the fourth sibling are pretty good. They don't seem to be seriously ill. It shouldn't be a big deal."

Ji Wei's hands under the quilt moved and clenched into fists.The third grandma actually said such words at this time, obviously to comfort, but secretly pointed out that Jiwei might be pretending to be dizzy, I really don't know what she is thinking about!

After listening to Mrs. Ye's words, Qiu's eyes became sharp, and he took a step forward to stare at Doctor Chang: "Doctor, don't use lies to perfuse me. What's the situation with Fourth Grandma? Is it serious?"

Dr. Chang's forehead was sweating: "Grandma Qin, I really can't say for sure. This patient with internal head injury has a lot of relapses. After all, the injury is the head!"

Seeing that she couldn't find anything to ask, Qiu had no choice but to give up.However, Su Jiwei passed out like this, so many things are hard to say.

After asking the little girl to send the doctor away, Mother Zhu asked from the side: "Grandma, look, is Lilac going to trial today?"

Qiu hesitated for a moment, but said firmly: "Trial, why not? This kind of audacity, endangering the servants of the master's family, must be carefully interrogated and severely punished."

Mrs. Ye echoed from the side: "Yes, there should be severe torture and interrogation, so that she can recruit the mastermind behind the scenes. Otherwise, if there are people with evil intentions hiding in the dark, I won't be able to eat well."

Mother Du listened and said, "Grandma, Ding Xiang is a girl in our yard. Our grandma is in a coma now and can't manage the affairs. How about letting the old slave watch from the sidelines?"

Qiu Shi thought to herself that this old guy would deliver it to her door by herself, which would save her worry, so she nodded and motioned for Madam Du to follow.

Mother Du asked Shuyue to take good care of Jiwei, and took Danyun and Linglan to Xikuayuan where Aunt Ruan lived.

In the west courtyard, Ding Xiang was still kneeling there, but she didn't cry anymore.

Qiu Shi sat down, took a sip of the tea that Ruixue brought over, and then asked: "Ding Xiang, it's been so long, have you thought it through?"

Ding Xiang's face was pale, and she replied in a low voice: "Grandma, I've figured it out. It's...it's the croton I put in Aunt Ruan's meal."

Qiu's face was indifferent, and his tone was unhurried: "Oh? Then, who ordered you to do this?"

Ding Xiang was silent for a long while, then replied in a low voice: "This servant wants to do this. This servant is jealous of Aunt Ruan, jealous that she can conceive fourth master's child, so she ate croton during her meal."

When Du's mother heard Ding Xiang's words, her expression turned serious, and she was not happy at all.The more Ding Xiang said this, the more she seemed jealous of Aunt Ruan, there was someone else!
Ye's next to him clicked his tongue: "You girl has high ambitions. With such a beauty, I want to climb into the bed of a man. I think you are really delusional!"

A girl next to her said softly: "No, Ding Xiang is not such a person."

Ruixue was beside her, her face turned pale with anger: "You don't even look at your own virtue, a bitch like you, how dare you compare with our aunt? Grandma, she must be lying!"

Qiu remained calm, as if she didn't know anything, and continued to ask: "Oh? Are you jealous of her? I think you want to protect someone? It seems that you won't say anything without a severe punishment. Come on, Give her a top [-] first."

Sure enough, Ding Xiang couldn't take it anymore after only playing about ten times with the twenty big boards: "Don't hit, don't hit, I said! I said..."

Qiu raised her hand, and Li Xia hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"

Qiu looked at Ding Xiang lying on the ground, with a smile in his eyes: "Ding Xiang, tell the truth! Who told you to poison Aunt Ruan's meal?"

Ding Xiang bit her lips, and raised her head with tears streaming down her face: "Yes... Fourth Grandma asked me to do this. Grandma please spare this servant! There is nothing I can do about this!"

Ding Xiang's words suddenly caused an uproar.

The maids and servants began to whisper, saying that if the fourth grandma ordered this, it is indeed very possible.Fourth Mistress has no son, so how could she not be jealous of Aunt Ruan?
After listening to Ding Xiang's words, Mrs. Qiu asked with a straight face, "Bold! How dare you slander your master!"

Ding Xiang suddenly raised her head: "The servant did not accuse the master! The servant has evidence."

Qiu's face was serious: "Oh? Are you serious? Where is the evidence?"

"The Fourth Mistress gave this bracelet to the servant when she instructed the servant in private." Ding Xiang stretched out her arm and took off a carved gold bracelet on her hand.

A woman next to her quickly ran over to take the gold bracelet and presented it to Mrs. Qiu.

The bracelet was shining brightly, it looked like it was one or two heavy, and one could tell at a glance that it couldn't be something that a second-class girl like Ding Xiang could wear casually.Although the Hou Mansion is rich, if it wasn't for the master's personal maid, it would be rare to see gold in the rewards.What's more, this gold is still pure gold, and the master will only reward such good things unless the servant has made great contributions, or if he wants to bribe the servant.

When they saw this carved gold bracelet, most of the onlookers felt that the fourth grandma caused Aunt Ruan to have a miscarriage, which was probably true.

Mrs. Ye seemed surprised too, she stretched her head over to look: "Hey, is there any proof?"

Qiu took a look at it, and said lightly: "I seem to have seen this bracelet worn by my fourth sibling."

Covering her mouth in surprise, Mrs. Ye said, "Oh, did the fourth sibling really do this? Then she did it too dishonestly. After all, that is the fourth master's child, and I have to call her mother in the future!"

By saying this, Mrs. Ye is almost convicting Fourth Grandma.All the people present began to believe that this was a jealous mistress who couldn't tolerate the aunt, and thus murdered the aunt's child.

Ruixue even cried from the side: "Fourth grandma is so cruel! How can she be so intolerant? The fourth master's heirs are weak, and she doesn't think about the fourth master. Our aunt, our aunt is really miserable No way, grandma, you, you must uphold justice for our aunt!"
