Chapter 44
"Slap!" Lian Siyue suddenly raised her hand, and slapped Zi Wan's face hard.

Immediately, Da Furen and Nanny Zhou were both stunned, looking at her in surprise, Siyue has always been kind to servants, why was she ever so strict?
"How courageous, this candied rock sugar is a warm food, how can it be said to be in conflict with the medicinal properties! If you don't know how to pretend to understand, you are either lazy or have ulterior motives!"

Zi Wan was taken aback, she didn't expect this young lady who was usually like a soft persimmon to suddenly become so ruthless, she covered her face and said aggrievedly:
"Yes, yes, the eldest lady calm down, and the servants will go now."

"Slap!" However, Lian Siyue slapped her back on the other cheek, and said, "Why, Miss Ben asked you to get a plate of food, you still have an opinion, who should show this face?" ?what are you?"

This time, Zi Wan fell to the ground with a plop in fright, not daring to cover her face, and hurriedly said, "I don't dare, I don't dare, Miss."

"Hurry up!" Lian Siyue sternly said.

"Yes yes yes." Zi Wan didn't dare to be negligent, she got up from the ground and went straight to Ziyun courtyard, her face was flushed red from the beating.

"It's just a candied fruit. I just don't want to eat it. You don't have to be angry about it. You'll be so angry that you'll be overwhelmed." Rong said in relief.

"Ma'am, I think the young miss is doing well. This Zi Wan, the servants see how awkward she is. She is a second-class maid, but she is holding a posture. It is time to find a chance to punish her." On the side, Nanny Zhou felt that Very happy, my wife is weak-tempered, seeing the laziness and contempt of the maids around her, she wanted to punish, but couldn't find a way.

"It wasn't just because she didn't know how to measure that I taught her a lesson." Lian Siyue said.

"What does Yue'er mean?" Asked Rong, puzzled.

At this moment, Zi Wan came back out of breath, holding a plate of candied rock sugar in both hands, not daring to neglect at all, knelt on the ground, and respectfully said:
"Ma'am, miss, here are the candied fruit." As she spoke, she sneaked a glance at the bowl of medicine.

"Let's put it down, go and inform the kitchen now, I want to dine at Da Furen's side, if it's late, you're the only one to ask!" Lian Siyue ordered again immediately.

"Yes!" After the two slaps just now, how could Zi Wan dare to neglect Lian Siyue, she turned around hastily, but before leaving, she couldn't help but take a look at the medicine.

As soon as she left, Lian Siyue said in a deep voice, "Mother, there is something wrong with this medicine, you can't drink it."

"Is there a problem?" Rong gasped, and could not help clenching the handkerchief tightly, "This is the medicine that Doctor Lu prescribed for me. He has known me since I was a child, so he should not harm me. Yue Son, did you make a mistake somewhere?"

Lian Siyue thought for a while and asked, "Nurse Zhou, when did this aster come to Fu'an Yuan?"

Nanny Zhou pinched her fingers and calculated, and said, "I remembered, it was Da Furen who came here a few days after this illness. Before that, Qinglian was serving by her side, but Qinglian somehow broke through that day. After Aunt Xiao found out about the sandalwood from Madam, she felt that Qinglian's hands and feet were not good enough, so she replaced her, and the servants were too busy taking care of Madam, so they didn't pay much attention to it."

After hearing this, Lian Siyue felt confident, and she said, "I was only skeptical at first. My mother's illness was not serious, but it has been dragging on for more than a month, and her spirit is getting more and more depressed. I just discovered that this lowly servant girl, Zi Wan, has been I stared at this bowl of medicine, as if I was afraid that my mother would not drink it, but now I hear what Nanny Zhou said, and I conclude that there must be something wrong with this medicine."

As she spoke, she took the medicine over and took a sip.

Surprised, Rong said, "There's something wrong with this medicine, are you still drinking it?"

Nanny Zhou was also anxious, "Miss, what are you doing?"

Lian Siyue remained silent, holding the medicine in her mouth, savoring it carefully, then walked to the desk, took the pen and ink, and wrote something seriously on the rice paper, after a while, she handed the paper with the prescription written on it Give it to Nanny Zhou, and asked, "Nurse Zhou, take a look, is this the prescription that Doctor Lu gave to mother?"

Nanny Zhou took the medicine list and looked it over carefully, her brows gradually wrinkled, she shook her head and said, "No, there is no such flavor of honeysuckle in the prescription given by Dr. Lu."

"That's right, the problem lies in the honeysuckle."

"What's the problem with honeysuckle?" Rong asked puzzled.

Lian Siyue showed the prescription in front of Rong and Nanny Zhou, and said, "Just looking at the honeysuckle, there is no problem, but look, there is a smell of epimedium in the prescription prescribed by Dr. Lu. This honeysuckle and epimedium are both Flavored medicinal materials are born to restrain each other, a piece of decoction will have adverse effects on the body, over time, it will not only fail to cure the disease, but also damage the fundamentals of the body, which is why my mother's wind-cold has not improved for a long time."

Nanny Zhou said, "I understand! Ma'am, someone secretly put honeysuckle in there to kill you! This aster is one of the murderers!"

"Zi Wan is just a servant, someone must have instructed her to act so boldly." Lian Siyue said.

When Rong heard this, he was startled into a cold sweat, his face became even paler, and said, "There is someone in this mansion who is so deliberate in trying to harm me."

"Ma'am, if you catch that aster and interrogate it, you will know who is behind it!" Nanny Zhou said angrily.

However, Lian Siyue stopped her and said, "No, don't worry, she will definitely not admit it if she is arrested and interrogated now, and we have no evidence, so we startled the snake instead. It's better to pretend that you don't know anything, and wait until the stolen goods are gone. Yes, even if she wants to deny it!"

"Then how can I get both stolen goods? Missy, can you do something?" Mother Zhou was pleasantly surprised to find that Missy is really different from before. Before, she was always in a daze and was led by others. The nose went away, and now she is thoughtful, courageous and resourceful, which is really gratifying.

Lian Siyue thought for a while, stood up, poured the bowl of medicine on the ground, and shouted to the servants outside, "Go and call Zi Wan over."

"Yes." The servant outside answered, and after a while, Zi Wan trotted in again, running back and forth three times like this, she was out of breath, and she didn't care to wipe the sweat from her cheeks, and asked:

"Ma'am, miss."

"Why, are you tired after running like this for two or three times?" Lian Siyue squinted at her and asked in a cold voice.

"No, I'm not a servant, I'm not tired, I'm not tired." Zi Wan said hastily.

"Madam's medicine was accidentally spilled just now, you can cook another bowl." Lian Siyue nodded his chin there and said.

Zi Wan glanced at the ground, and sure enough, she saw the bowl fell on the ground, and the maid Jiang Xiang was cleaning up the residue on the ground, she bent down to pick up the bowl quickly, and said, "Yes, servant girl is going right now."
