Chapter 336 Poisoning (5)
Mrs. Xie said: "It's not impossible. Do you remember your two concubine brothers? They died one after another just a few months before Mao Heng was born. Do you really believe that he died of a disease? I'm afraid the disease wasn't so serious back then. Simple things."

Xiao Maoyun clutched the quilt tightly, but didn't say a word.

Mrs. Xie continued: "You know the old lady, and you should also know how powerful the old lady is. You may not have understood those methods when you were young. Looking back now, can you figure out the key to it? Maoyun, You have to be careful. If the old lady really did it, you will be in trouble this time. Be careful with what you eat, even the medicine you drink. Maybe the disease comes from the mouth."

Xiao Maoyun took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in her heart, "Thank you for reminding me, I understand what to do."

"It's good that you understand. I'll wait for you to get better. That's fine, I should go too. If I sit for too long, people will be suspicious." Mrs. Xie stood up, "Take good care of your body, you just look at it It's not an ordinary disease. If you don't believe me, look yourself in the mirror."

Xiao Maoyun was deep in thought, Xie didn't say any more and turned to leave.

When I was leaving the hospital, I met Xiao Mingyu.Xiao Mingyu came to deliver medicinal materials to Xiao Maoyun.Xiao Maoyun is ill, Wufang always has to express something.Sending medicinal materials is the best expression.This has been sent once before, this is the second time.

Xiao Mingyu greeted Mrs. Xie respectfully, "I have met my second aunt."

"So it's Ming Yu, did you come to visit your aunt?"

"Exactly. Is the second aunt leaving now?" Xiao Mingyu watched carefully.

Xie smiled and said: "Of course. Mingyu, come to Dongfu when you have time. Mingyao is very boring at home. In a few months, there will be fewer opportunities for you to meet in the future. Now you must hurry up."

"I'll follow my aunt's advice, and I'll visit sister Mingyao when I'm free." Xiao Mingyu agreed.

Just before the Chinese New Year, the second room made an agreement with the Fan family.Assign Xiao Mingyao to Fan Wushao.The wedding date of the two has also been set, which will be in September this year.

Mrs. Xie nodded with a smile, "Mingyu, you have a good temper. The second aunt likes you the most. You should come to the East Mansion more often. The second aunt has a lot of good things. When the time comes, I will let you choose whatever you want."

"Thank you, Second Aunt, my niece will definitely be there someday."

Xiao Mingyu sent Mrs. Xie away, and then entered the courtyard where Xiao Maoyun lived.

First, he met Miao Xiaoxiao and asked about Xiao Maoyun's condition.Miao Xiaoxiao wiped her tears with a sad face. "My mother's health hasn't improved at all. Sister Mingyu, go in and have a look. My mother must be very happy to know you're here."

Xiao Mingyu entered the bedroom, and there was a smell of medicine in the bedroom, coupled with the lack of ventilation, the smell in the room was a bit weird and unpleasant.

Xiao Mingyu endured the pungent smell of medicine and walked to the bed.Seeing Xiao Maoyun's current appearance, Xiao Mingyu was startled. "Second aunt, are you better?"

"It turns out that Ming Yu is here." Xiao Maoyun sat up, thinking about what Xie said before, and fell into deep thought.If it wasn't for Xiao Mingyu's background, Xiao Maoyun would not have realized that someone was coming. "Ming Yu, sit down."

"Second Aunt, we are all worried about your health. I sent some medicinal materials here today, hoping to help Second Aunt's condition."

"You guys have a heart." Xiao Maoyun coughed twice, and suddenly her heart moved, "Ming Yu, you just said that you sent some medicinal materials?"

Xiao Mingyu nodded, "Yes, Second Aunt, but what's wrong?"

"No, there isn't. Where do your herbs come from?"

"Our fifth room has accumulated it by ourselves over the years. They are all high-quality medicinal materials, and they are well preserved and have never been damp. Auntie can use them at ease." Xiao Mingyu said with a smile.

However, Xiao Maoyun thought of something, and eagerly wanted to send Xiao Mingyu away, and her eagerness inevitably showed some traces.Xiao Mingyu was a little puzzled, but thinking of Han's instructions, Xiao Mingyu still refused to participate in these matters, and refused to get to the bottom of it.After all, as Han said, she should not be involved in these matters.

Xiao Mingyu was very sensible, got up and said goodbye.Xiao Maoyun let out a long breath.When he was about to call his confidant mother-in-law, after giving careful instructions, the confidant mother-in-law took the order to go out.

Xiao Maoyun's hands were shaking, she hoped that her guess was false, it was her wishful thinking.But if it is true, if it is as Xie said, how should she face it.

The results came out that day.The confidant mother-in-law came back and reported it carefully to Xiao Maoyun.The medicinal materials were taken out from the storehouse of Mr. Xiao's middle school, and many people handled them along the way.There is the steward of the warehouse, the woman who runs errands, and the girl who cooks medicine.If there are really problems with those medicinal materials, these people are all suspects.

Xiao Maoyun signaled the mother-in-law not to scare the snake, and asked the mother-in-law to get another batch of medicinal materials, and then quietly took it outside Xiao's mansion to find a strange doctor, and asked the doctor to see if there was any problem with the medicinal materials.In addition, after the medicine delivery person came in, Xiao Maoyun signaled to the mother-in-law to clean up the dumped medicine residue, and also took it out to a doctor to have a look.

Xiao Maoyun asked the girl to put the medicine bowl aside, saying that she would use it later.

The girl was very anxious, "Auntie, the doctor ordered that this medicine must be taken while it is hot. It will have no effect if it is cold."

Although Xiao Maoyun was ill, she still didn't change her aura, glared at her, and made the girl shut her mouth. "I told you to put it aside, I'll drink it myself later, don't you understand? The Xiao family arranged for you to come and serve me, is that how they serve you?"

The girl hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "My aunt, forgive me, but the servant is also concerned about my aunt's body, and lost her sense for a while."

"Okay, step back. I don't need you to serve here for the time being."

"The slaves obey."

Xiao Maoyun looked at the bowl of steaming medicine and didn't intend to drink it.Now that she has doubts in her heart, Xiao Maoyun will not make fun of her body until the doubts are eliminated.

Xiao Maoyun asked someone to find a puppy, and asked someone to pour the bowl of medicine down to the puppy.The puppy drank a little and refused to drink any more.The mother-in-law looked at Xiao Maoyun in embarrassment.Xiao Maoyun waved her hand, motioning for the mother-in-law to take the puppy down, watch it carefully, and report it in time if there is anything abnormal.

The mother-in-law agreed and stepped back with the puppy in her arms.

Xiao Maoyun's heart was very restless, she kept tossing and turning that night, and finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.Woke up early the next morning.Although I didn't take medicine the night before, my mental head was better than the day before.This made Xiao Maoyun more suspicious that the medicine she drank before was tampered with.Therefore, after the girl brought in the medicine again, Xiao Maoyun also sent the person away, so naturally she didn't drink the bowl of medicine.

The confidant mother-in-law got the result and came back, her face was pale and ugly. "Ma'am, the medicine dregs were found to be a problem, and they were said to be poisoned."
