Three young grandmothers

Chapter 148: Poison (3)
The male disciple lowered his head, his face was slightly pale, and he didn't know whether it was because of stage fright or nervousness, or because he was afraid.

In fact, seeing this, Mo Zixu understood somewhat. If it is true that the fourth young master and the second young master were poisoned, whether it was a long-term or a one-time death, it was all an assembly line.

The Qi family has a behind-the-scenes mastermind, Ge Langzhong pushes forward, and the male disciple handles it himself.

But who is the mastermind behind the scenes?From the perspective of interests, Mo Zixu's first suspicion was the eldest lady, because the eldest lady had a motive to kill the second young lady's child, but unfortunately, he didn't dare to confirm it.

I saw the male disciple nodded under his master's questioning, "Master Qi, the younger one is indeed taking the medicine according to my master's prescription, and there will be no mistakes. The younger one said something that shouldn't be said, I want to ask Miss Cai'er who made the decoction, did you really not leave when you decocted the medicine? Did you really have no one else present?"

The spearhead shifted from the people in the medical hall to the inside of the Qi mansion.

When Cai'er heard that it was her responsibility, she knelt down in a hurry and kowtowed several times, "The servant has never left, the servant has been..." As she spoke, she suddenly silenced herself, with a certain expression on her face. Panicked, and then, with a kind of decisiveness, he raised his face and looked at Master Qi who was seated in the front seat, "I just remembered, now I'm taking care of Aunt Ju...uh... that's the one in the side courtyard, the Nanny Li who takes care of her." Once I went to the place where the slave maid decocted the medicine, and said it was chrysanthemum... my mouth was dry, and I wanted to find some licorice, but Madam Li searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it, so the maidservant helped her find it."

"Grandma Li? Didn't she stay in the side courtyard, she didn't have anything special, so she wasn't allowed to come out casually?" Master Qi thought for a while, and then recruited a servant, "Go and bring out Nanny Li from the side courtyard!"

Hearing this, the young servant backed away, and Mo Zixu sat on the chair vainly. Looking at the departing young servant, she wondered inwardly: How could this matter involve a person who has been imprisoned for a long time?Could it be that Ge Langzhong's calm expression was because he had already planned his way out and pointed the finger at Nanny Li? ... No, no, it is very likely that it is the woman next to Nanny Li... the woman who is four or five months pregnant, Ju'er!
Another heir of the Second Young Master was involved!

The more Mo Zixu thought about it, the more frightened he became. If there were only five points of doubt about the eldest lady before, then now, there are already seven points!
In other words, Master Qi asked Caier a few more questions, none of which were of major importance, and Caier answered them one by one. Mo Zixu listened absent-mindedly, and suddenly saw Qi Lianchen sitting beside him with a gloomy expression. , It's rare to see him like this, it seems... It seems that he is very heartbroken, I don't know what he is thinking.

At this time, the boy who had gone out hurried back, his face was extremely ugly, as if he had seen a ghost, and he was frightened, "Back... back to the master, then...then..."

Master Qi slapped the table, "Say something quickly, what are you doing talking about over there? Didn't you tell you to bring Nanny Li, who?"

The boy just wiped the sweat off his brow, "Go back to Master, Nanny Li fainted because... because of Ju... Aunt Ju was too dead, she committed suicide by taking poison!"

what?
Mo Zixu's heart skipped a beat, did he commit suicide by taking poison?

It's good to be locked up in the side courtyard all the time, but now when the second young master was poisoned, he committed suicide, but that Nanny Li also appeared at the scene of the crime, it's not clear... It will make people feel guilty and commit suicide hat?

That's right, if you really want to find a reason for the poisoning, it can be said that Ju'er has been jealous ever since the second young master refused to save her from the fire and caused her mother and son to live alone in a remote courtyard, so When the second young master had a high fever and fell ill, he bribed Nanny Li to take the opportunity to poison the second young master. Later, seeing that the second young master was exposed, she took the poison and committed suicide.It sounds reasonable at first glance, but after careful consideration, there are still many loopholes.

For example, how could she be so precise about the timing of a woman locked up in the courtyard?
For another example, if she is dissatisfied with living in a remote courtyard, she must be a person who has extremely high demands on life. Such a person would easily end her own life?What's more, there is a child in her womb who can turn her over!
The most suspicious thing is this rare Western Region poison, where did Ju'er get it, and where did he get the money to buy it?

She didn't believe that a shrewd person like Master Yiqi would not be able to see through this, but she didn't know whether he wanted to see through.

Besides, the second young master Qi heard that Ju'er committed suicide. That stubborn guy was obviously misled by the existing clues. Before Master Qi could speak, he said to the young man, "Search another courtyard! Yes, even if Nanny Li faints, carry her over to Grandpa!"

Since the victim is the second young master Qi, Master Qi also took a laissez-faire attitude towards his domineering. If you want to thoroughly investigate this matter, then you will interrogate Li Nanny when she comes, but, after all, she is the nanny who once nursed the young master, so you should be more polite in your words."

After finishing speaking, Master Qi glanced at the eldest young master who was sitting on his right hand as if he hadn't seen anything.

Nanny Li is the young master's nanny?

This is another very delicate relationship. Mo Zixu didn't even know that Master Qi said this suddenly, but there was some hint that tomorrow was the day when the Eldest Young Master married Zhu'er as his concubine. However, judging by the young master's calm attitude of looking at his nose and heart, it should be that the marriage is going on as usual without any taboos.

Not long after, Nanny Li was brought in by the servants, and it seemed that she had come to her senses.

As soon as Nanny Li entered the main hall, she knelt down and wailed, "Master, this old slave has a duty to trust, that Ju'er girl committed suicide by taking poison while the old slave was boiling water, and, together with the usual The servant girl who helped her go out to buy rouge pollen also took poison along with her... This old slave is useless."

While she was crying, the boy who went to search the yard handed over two medicine packs, "I found these two packs of inappropriate things in the whole yard."

In other words, the servant walked past Mo Zixu holding the medicine bag, and a familiar faint smell of medicine wafted from the tip of her nose. When she smelled the smell, she couldn't help but clenched the silk handkerchief in her palm.
