Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 28 Shocking reversal
The old lady Meng glanced at the third lady Yang indifferently, snorted softly, and said, "Shi Jingran, let me ask you, you said that Qing'er sneaked into Aunt Xiao's yard and that's why she killed Aunt Xiao , since she went there secretly, how did you know?"

Shi Jingran subconsciously glanced at the third wife, Yang Shi, lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, it was the girl next to Aunt Xiao who said it, son, son only then knows."

"Lie!" The old lady scolded angrily, "It's clearly made by the house-filling lady next to you, isn't it?!"

The drooping cheeks of the third wife Yang suddenly turned pale. The word "filling the house" is a wound in her heart that will never heal. Now that Meng said this in front of everyone, it is enough to make her teeth itch with hatred .

Shi Jingran said in a panic: "Mother, you are wrong to blame Xiang'er, she is definitely not such a person!"

The old lady Meng was too lazy to talk to Shi Jingran, she turned to look at the third lady Yang who was silently wiping away her tears, and said with displeasure: "I'm not dead yet, why are you crying! Yang, let me ask you, Where did you know about this! You tell me everything, without any falsehood!"

When the third lady thought about sending Shi Yiqing out of the mansion just now, she secretly hated in her heart, and wanted to scold the old woman, you are so troublesome, but she still had to pretend to be an aggrieved little daughter-in-law, and she didn't dare to say so Crying loudly, he could only wipe away his tears silently, and said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law also knew about it from Songzi, a maidservant next to Aunt Xiao, if you don't believe me, you can just ask and find out."

Song Zi, who was led by Madam Gao to kneel in front of the old lady, lowered her head and shook her shoulders, and said incoherently, "Slave, slave girl, Song, Songzi, salute, see you, old, old madam."

The old lady waved her hand in displeasure, and said to Zhu Xi: "This girl can't even speak a word, go and call all the maids around Aunt Xiao, and let them find someone who can talk!"

Zhu Xi took the order to go down, and not long after, he brought an older maid to the hall, and said: "Old Furen, there is only such a big girl left to serve Aunt Xiao, and I have never seen anyone else. "

The old lady frowned, looked dissatisfiedly at the third lady Yang, pointed to the maid on the ground and asked, "Are you serving by Aunt Xiao's side? Then let me ask you, do you know when the fourth lady went to see Xiao?" Auntie’s, and when did Auntie Xiao become seriously ill?”

The servant girl leaned over and said: "Reporting to the old lady, Miss Si and Miss Si came to see Aunt Xiao at You hour today, and Aunt Xiao will die less than half an hour after Miss Si leaves."

The old lady was furious, she patted the table and scolded: "Nonsense! The fourth lady came to my yard to transcribe scriptures for me since Xushi, and she has never left my Chunhui Hall until just now. How could she appear at Youshi?" In Aunt Xiao's yard? It's nonsense, nonsense!"

She pointed to Shi Jingran who was on the ground and became more and more angry: "You, and you actually listen to the words of these villains, don't believe that your own daughter is innocent, and even don't listen to her excuses, you are going to kill her? Although I You are old and confused, but you still remember what your father taught you when he was alive. How did he teach you to behave like this?! Shi Jingran, let me ask you again, who instigated you to disregard family affection and reputation, and made you act so boldly? Want to force your own daughter to death?!"

Shi Jingran looked at the old lady at a loss, stepped forward in two panicked knees, and said anxiously: "Mother, calm down, everything is the son's fault, and the son took it for granted. He misunderstood Qing'er after hearing the words of these servants! Mother Calm down, mother, calm down!"

The old lady turned her face away from looking at him, and only waved to Shi Yiqing, saying: "My good granddaughter, come here, let me see you." She took Shi Yiqing's hand, and looked at the slap on her cheek with distress Yin, "Who hit you? Qing'er, tell me, who hit you?"

Shi Yiqing, who had never said a word since entering Tangli Courtyard and was slapped by Shi Jingran, knelt down in front of the old lady with tears streaming down her face, and said with an aggrieved and painful expression: "Grandma, Qing'er thank you for your relationship, Qing'er." If my son has grandmother’s words, it won’t hurt.”

The old lady's eyes were also red, and she pointed at Shi Jingran on the ground and became more and more furious: "Well, you Shi Jingran, you are really amazing! You can even kill your own daughter, can't you? You are so cruel! Old woman, I really want to know today, Qing Er has never even seen Aunt Xiao's face, will she kill her biological mother! Zhu Xi, you took my name card and asked the Imperial Physician Su from the Imperial Hospital to come over Show Aunt Xiao!"

Shi Jingran hurriedly said: "Mother, mother! Imperial Physician Su is the head of the imperial hospital. You let him visit an aunt in our house. This is not suitable for etiquette, and it may cause suspicion between our family and Imperial physician Su. It must not be like this Ah! Don't worry, mother, my son has found a doctor, and he is looking inside for Aunt Xiao, and he should come out soon!"

Just as he was talking, a maid from the other side hurried out of the inner room, went to the hall and bowed to salute, and said, "Return to the old lady, master, madam, Li Langzhong has prescribed a medicine patch, and asked the master to go to his medicine shop to get it." Boil it well, three times a day, serve it to Aunt Xiao, after a few days, Aunt Xiao will recover."

"Master Li, can you tell me what's wrong with Aunt Xiao?"

The servant girl lowered her head and dared not say anything. After being repeatedly questioned by the old lady, she said softly: "The doctor said, the doctor said, Aunt Xiao must have been poisoned by a poison called 'Beauty Broken'. Achnatherum splendens appeared in my aunt's food, Li Langzhong said, said..."

The old lady said angrily: "What are you talking about! You girl, can't you even understand a sentence?"

The maid continued in horror: "Li Langzhong said, if Aunt Xiao hadn't eaten a lot of Achnatherum splendens today, which dissipated the excessive heat in her body, and even made her vomit out the poison that was put in the food, I'm afraid that she would die again. In an hour and a half, he will pass away!"

Shi Jingran fell to the ground in shock, looked at the girl in disbelief, and said in a hoarse voice: "You mean, Aunt Xiao, she, she was poisoned?"

The old lady glanced at the pale third lady, Mrs. Yang, and said with a sneer: "This is really strange, how could Aunt Xiao be poisoned for no reason, and why would she eat weeds? Bamboo breath , you went to invite that Li Langzhong to come out, I want to ask him face to face!"

Shi Xuanxin and the others supported the third wife, Yang Shi, and dodged to the inside on the right side, peeping out secretly. She was so anxious that she saw an old man staggering in front of the old lady and bowed down to worship.

The old lady raised her hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite, Mr. Li. Let me ask you, what do you mean when you said that our aunt in our house has been poisoned by 'beauty broken'?"

The doctor stroked his beard and said slowly: "Although the poison poisoned by the aunt in the house has a nice name, its medicinal properties are very simple. It is the same as Hedinghong, and it can make people bleed to death in the body. If this aunt hadn't been there I have eaten Achnatherum splendens before, so I don’t think it will survive such a long time.”

Shi Jingran, who was standing with his hands down, asked eagerly: "You mean, the aunt in our house took the poison after eating Achnatherum splendens? If she hadn't eaten Achnatherum splendens, how long would it have survived?"

"This poison has a strong temper, and the aunt in the house is originally weak. It is good fortune to survive for two hours."

Shi Jingran turned pale and backed away again and again, muttering in his mouth: "How could it be like this, how could it be like this?"

The old lady snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "I don't know, but you are the one who would like your daughter to be an evil star." Turning her eyes, Zhu Xi called the maid who had been serving Aunt Xiao before, "Why would your aunt accept that?" A weed called Achnatherum splendens?"

The maid tremblingly said: "Reporting to the old lady, my aunt is a little hungry, but there is no food in the kitchen, so the servant girl got some herbs that can make soup in the yard and gave it to my aunt. Who knows... Who knows... Later... "

Shi Jingran shouted furiously: "The old lady asked you something, why don't you hurry up and say it!"

The maid knocked her head on the ground, shook her shoulders and said, "Reporting to the old lady, master, later Miss Si didn't know where to find out that my aunt hadn't eaten, so she asked the people around me to bring food. My aunt felt sick after eating. excellent……"

The old lady said to Zhu Xi with a cold face: "You send someone to go to Aunt Xiao's yard and bring me the food that this girl said, and let Langzhong Li have a look at it, but there is a problem with these food."

Shi Xuanxin, who was eavesdropping in the room, panicked, and subconsciously went to look for the third wife, Mrs. Yang. His gaze froze in Shi Yiqing's cold eyes after a brief glance, and he took a step back with some fear in his heart. His feet were so soft that he almost fell. fell to the ground.

Shi Xuanxin regained his composure, stood up, and heard a hand with distinct bones clinging to her arm, she couldn't help trembling, as if she could feel the biting coldness coming from that hand through the material of the clothes , a little distracted, I heard someone say in my ear: "Third sister, be careful, don't fall."

Shi Yiqing glanced at Shi Xuanxin with a half-smile, and looked away at the hall through the veil, and continued in a slow voice: "I don't know if the doctor will find traces of poisoning, follow the source of the poison, I don't know if we can find the person who poisoned, third sister, tell me, who would be the one who bought medicine and poisoned people?"

Shi Xuanxin forcibly suppressed the uneasiness and trembling in his heart, and pretended to step back inadvertently, avoiding Shi Yiqing's palm, and said calmly, "Sister, why worry, but Aunt Xiao is out of danger, isn't she?" After saying this, she passed Shi Yiqing and walked steadily inside to find her mother Yang who was sitting on the soft couch in a daze.

The old doctor's voice came from the hall: "Madam Shi, Master Shi, this bowl of lotus seed porridge does contain a poison called 'Beauty Broken', and the dose is not light. I'm afraid I'm going to die on the spot."

The old lady sitting on the top nodded, let out a heavy breath, and said to the old doctor: "Thank you, sir, for saving people, and the Shi family should thank you! It's just that I hope you can forget what happened today. The old lady is here to thank you." pass!"

The old man repeatedly refused, but under the insistence of the old lady Meng, he still accepted the money with a happy face, and followed the young man out of the gate of Shi's mansion.

Shi Jingran, who had been frightened for a long time, came back to his senses, his feet softened and he knelt in front of the old lady again, breathlessly said: "Mother, my son really doesn't know... I don't know it's like this."

The old lady scolded with a sullen face: "You don't know this, you don't know that, what else do you know? But if something happens, it is the responsibility of Qing'er, whom you call the evil star! I heard that you raised me for me. You can use the word "evil star" to dismiss things like the crane dying outside Aunt Xiao's yard, and even blame Qing'er for all the faults! She is your own daughter, you have hugged her , The biological daughter I kissed! Why is your heart so vicious?!"
