The world of film and television begins from childhood

The old lady, Hualan, Shulan and Cuichan were simply worried about Zhou Chen's safety and didn't want to see anything happen to him.

Sheng Hong's worry was more of uneasiness. He didn't want anything to happen to Zhou Chen, because if anything happened to Zhou Chen, their Sheng family would definitely suffer as well.

Hai Chaoyun is kind-hearted and she is also very worried about Zhou Chen. As for Wang Ruofu, she is more afraid and terrified.

After waiting for a long time, Yuancai finally brought the imperial physician over. Hualan and others seemed to have found their backbone and hurriedly asked the imperial physician to see Zhou Chen.

When Yuan Cai invited the imperial physician to Sheng Mansion, the emperor and the empress dowager in the palace all received the news.

Inside the Funing Palace, the emperor was very surprised when he heard the report from the eunuch beside him.

"Is it the imperial physician invited by the people from the Jingguo Mansion?"

"Yes, it was the attendant beside Duke Jingguo. I heard that he was in a very urgent situation. As soon as the imperial physician left the palace, he was hurriedly taken away."

The official looked puzzled: "Duke Jingguo's confidant came to invite you. Could it be that someone in Duke Jingguo's family is sick, or is it Duke Jingguo himself?"

"Go check whether the imperial physician has been to the Duke of Jingguo's residence, and then find out the purpose of their invitation."

"Yes."

In the harem, the Queen Mother also received the news.

"Duke Jingguo's Mansion has invited a royal doctor to investigate the cause. Don't make it public."

…………

"Sir, how is my husband? Why did he vomit blood and faint?"

Hua Lan couldn't wait to ask the imperial physician who had just finished the examination.

The doctor frowned slightly and said, "Madam, he doesn't seem to be sick, but his pulse is indeed problematic. Did the Duke eat anything today?"

Hua Lan thought about it carefully, and then said, "It's just a home-cooked breakfast, there must be nothing wrong with it. Besides, by the way, not long ago, the official ate a plate of lotus seed cakes at my grandmother's place. Could it be that there is something wrong with the lotus seed cakes?"

She remembered what her grandmother had just asked the doctor, and was shocked: "Sir, you said that the master might have been poisoned?"

The doctor replied ambiguously: "It is only possible, but we need to check to know."

The old lady said, "I have been eating lotus seed cakes for several months. Logically, there shouldn't be any problem, but I can't say for sure. I remember Sanlang didn't finish it. There is still one piece. Cuichan, you and Fang Mama go to Shou'an Hall and bring it to the imperial physician for a check."

"Yes, old lady."

Cuichan immediately went out and called Fang Mama, and then went to Shou'an Hall.

After a while, Cuichan came back with a plate with a piece of hibiscus lotus seed cake on it.

Seeing this, Wang Ruofu collapsed on the chair, unable to exert any strength in her body. She knew that she was finished, she was definitely finished.

The imperial physician placed the remaining piece of hibiscus and lotus seed cake on the table, then took out a silver needle and began to examine.

Soon, he frowned again, smelled it carefully, and then came to Zhou Chen to check it out.

Then the doctor's face suddenly changed, his face was full of disbelief, and he muttered to himself.

"What a great scheme, Ginkgo Bud."

When everyone saw the imperial physician's expression, they knew that he must have discovered something, so they hurriedly asked him.

"What? My Lord, what did you say?"

The doctor raised his head and said in a serious tone: "Ginkgo can be eaten, but ginkgo buds cannot be eaten, so it is not poison, and the silver needle cannot detect it; however, if you extract the juice from the ginkgo buds, dozens of pounds of juice, and make it into a concentrated aliquot, it can kill people."

At this point, he said to Hua Lan in a serious tone, "Madam, the person who plotted this is trying to kill the Duke. He has consumed so much Ginkgo Bud juice. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to wait for me to treat him."

"I heard that the Duke vomited blood before he fainted. If I'm not mistaken, that mouthful of blood may have contained a lot of venom. Plus, the Duke is physically strong, so he was able to save his life."

Hua Lan's body shook and she looked at the old lady with horror.

"Grandma, this..."

She certainly didn't suspect that the old lady wanted to harm Zhou Chen, but she thought that someone wanted to harm the old lady. However, by chance, the lotus seed pastry was eaten by Zhou Chen, which was equivalent to Zhou Chen blocking the disaster for the old lady.

In an instant, everyone else's eyes fell on the old lady.

The old lady could no longer hold back her anger. She suddenly raised her head and glared at Wang Ruofu who was not far away.

"Madam, tell me, why did you poison an old woman like me?"

Wang Ruofu fell to the ground with a thud, trembling all over, and Hai Chaoyun couldn't pull her up.

As the old lady scolded, everyone in the room looked at Wang Ruofu in disbelief. No one could believe it.

Sheng Hong asked in a trembling voice: "Mother, what do you mean by this?"

The old lady said coldly, "What do you mean? Then you have to ask your lady. She bought the lotus seed cake for me. Sanlang happened to come today and ate this plate of lotus seed cake. He suffered for me. Lady, what do you want to say?"

"No, no, it's not me, it's not me, it's not me, it's really not me."

Wang Ruofu lay on the ground, unable to get up. She was trembling and screaming, with a look of extreme fear.

Hua Lanru was devastated and looked at her mother with unbelievable eyes. She couldn't believe that the person who harmed her husband turned out to be her own biological mother.

"Mom, is it really you? Are you trying to poison grandma?"

Wang Ruofu screamed in fear: "Hua'er, it's not me, it's really not me, how could I do such a thing, I am innocent."

"The official is already like this, could it be possible that grandma would lie to us?"

"me……"

Sheng Hong roared angrily and slapped Wang Ruofu in the face.

"Look at what you have done. Are you still a human being? You actually poisoned your mother and also poisoned Shuyuan. If anything happens to Shuyuan, even a hundred lives of yours will not be enough to compensate. Oh, God, what sin have I committed? Why did you give me such a stupid wife?"

Originally, they could not escape responsibility for Zhou Chen's accident in Sheng Mansion. If the person who poisoned him was his wife, he dared not imagine what would happen next. Just thinking about it made him tremble all over and he wished he could die right now.

"Ah, woo woo..."

Wang Ruofu was slapped in the face and dared not resist at all. She lay on the ground and cried loudly, but no one pitied her at this time.

The matter is very clear. The eldest lady poisoned the old lady, but in the end the old lady was not poisoned. Instead, Zhou Chen ate the poison. So it was Wang Ruofu who caused Zhou Chen to become what he is now.

Hualan shouted in despair: "Mother, you are trying to kill your daughter. If anything happens to the master, I don't want to live anymore. Mother, how could you do such a thing? How could you be so stupid? What on earth do you want?"

The old lady closed her eyes in pain. She wished she could replace Zhou Chen with her own body. Her life was worthless. If possible, she really wanted to bear it herself, even if she had to poison herself to death.

"Let's not talk about it for now. Listen to what the imperial physician said, sir. What should we do now? How can we save Sanlang?"

The imperial physician pondered for a moment before saying, "The Duke's condition is not very good right now. There are too many toxins in his body. If he were awake, he could be induced to vomit, but now he is unconscious, so it is not easy to induce vomiting. I will prescribe some medicine for him to take. I will stay here to observe for a while. If there are any other changes, I can treat him in time."

"But in this case, I'll have to trouble Madam to ask for leave for me."

Hua Lan immediately replied: "No problem, I will arrange for someone to ask for leave from you now. Sir, I will leave my husband's life in your hands."

The imperial physician immediately replied respectfully: "Madam, please rest assured. The Duke is the backbone of our dynasty and a hero in the world. I will do my best to treat the Duke."

"Thank you, sir."

Hua Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhou Chen's condition was still unclear, with the imperial physician by his side, even if there were any problems, he could be treated in time, and there was a greater level of safety.

The old lady suddenly spoke at this time.

"Carry Sanlang to Shou'an Hall, sir, is this okay?"

The doctor hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, but be careful not to be exposed to the wind or bumps."

"Okay, Hua'er, have someone carry Sanlang to Shou'an Hall."

After what happened, Hua Lan no longer trusted the Sheng Mansion. She called Yuan Cai in without hesitation, and then several people protected Zhou Chen and carried him to the room in Shou'an Hall, and then had people heavily protect him.

After Zhou Chen was arranged, a room was vacated next door for the imperial physician to rest. However, the imperial physician was still in Zhou Chen's room and said that he needed further observation.

The atmosphere in the hall of Shou'an Hall was unusually tense. Wang Ruofu was kneeling on the ground alone, the old lady was sitting at the top, Hualan and Sheng Hong were sitting on the left and right below, Hai Chaoyun was standing aside, and Cuichan and Shulan stayed in the room to look after Zhou Chen.

But in addition to them, Yuan Cai and others were also standing outside. These people were called over from the Duke's Mansion and, following Hua Lan's orders, surrounded Shou'an Hall.

"Grandma, the people from the Duke's Mansion have blocked all the exits from the Sheng Mansion. No one can leave the Sheng Mansion."

Old Madam Sheng nodded silently and looked coldly at Wang Ruofu who was kneeling in the hall.

Sheng Hong sat there, not daring to breathe. Although he was the master of Sheng Mansion, it was no longer his turn to make decisions in the mansion. All the people in the mansion were being watched by the people from the Duke's Mansion.

However, he did not dare to have any opinions. He just wanted to end the matter quickly. Thinking of Zhou Chen's situation, he stared at Wang Ruofu with anger and hatred.

He had never liked his wife, but he never expected that the wife whom he had always looked down upon would have such courage. He really underestimated her.

Chapter 1168 Interrogation: The Most Vicious Woman's Heart

Looking at Wang Ruofu, who was kneeling in the hall with a face full of fear and despair, Hua Lan's eyes were filled with pity and sadness.

This is her biological mother. Logically, she should not treat her mother like this, but her mother's behavior makes her unbearable. Zhou Chen is her man, her husband, the person she loves most, and her lifelong support.

Now Zhou Chen's life or death is uncertain. If it were someone else, she would probably kill him immediately. But Wang Ruofu is her biological mother after all. Even if the facts are in front of her, she still doesn't want to believe it in her heart, because in her heart, her mother is not that kind of person.

The old lady was furious, but she didn't have too many concerns about Wang Ruofu and just shouted at her.

"Madam, what do you want to say?"

Wang Ruofu burst into tears: "Mother, it's not me, it's really not me. Even if I have the courage of heaven, I dare not harm you, let alone the Duke. He is my Hua'er's husband, and I am Hua'er's biological mother. How could I possibly harm the Duke?"

The old lady said coldly, "Of course you dare not harm Sanlang, because you want to harm an old woman like me. Sanlang is just suffering for me. Now Sanlang's life or death is uncertain. No matter what the reason is, you can't escape. The Sheng Mansion will not forgive you, and the court will not forgive you. Even the entire Sheng Mansion may perish because of your behavior."

Wang Ruofu was shaking all over and unable to speak. It was obvious that she was terrified to the extreme.

Sheng Hong was also extremely frightened. He knew that the old lady was not exaggerating. If anything happened to Zhou Chen, their whole family would be in trouble.

So he yelled loudly: "You bitch, why don't you tell the truth quickly? Tell me, why did you hurt your mother?"

Wang Ruofu's face was full of pain, but she refused to tell the truth.

Seeing that Wang Ruofu was ready to fight to the death, Mother Liu, who was guarding outside, could no longer bear it, pushed the guard away, and rushed into the hall.

"Madam, Madam, please tell the truth. The Duke is your brother-in-law and your husband. If anything happens to him, how will your daughter live? And Brother Bo and Brother Quan will also be implicated. Madam, you have to think it through."

Wang Ruofu was shaken by Mother Liu and tears streamed down her face, but she still refused to speak.

Mother Liu was extremely anxious and could only say to herself, "Old lady, this matter was really not done by the eldest lady. Although I don't know what happened, I can guess who instigated the eldest lady. It was the eldest lady's biological sister, the eldest lady of the Kang family."

The old lady's expression remained unchanged. She had already guessed this possibility. She had been Wang Ruofu's mother-in-law for so many years, how could she not understand Wang Ruofu's character? Her daughter-in-law definitely did not have the courage to kill her.

Hua Lan was shocked and asked angrily, "Is it my aunt?"

Sheng Hong was also very shocked. This was something he had not expected. Although he did not have a good impression of the aunt, he had never thought that she would be so vicious.

"The eldest lady is the lady from the Kang family. The old lady didn't allow the eldest lady to associate with Lady Kang at the beginning, and I also agreed with it. Although I also came from the Wang family as a dowry, I have to say something today. The eldest lady's elder sister is getting more and more out of shape. I often persuaded the eldest lady not to associate with her, but the eldest lady always refused to listen because of the sisterly friendship. Every time she talked to Lady Kang, she would send me away."

The old lady asked, "So, you are not aware of this matter?"

Mother Liu replied, "Although I didn't know about it at the time, I could guess about 70% of what happened. Old lady, master, and eldest lady, you should all know the eldest lady. She is not that kind of person at all."

Hualan didn't say anything, just looked at her mother. She also felt that her mother was not the kind of person who was scheming, cruel and ruthless. Otherwise, she would not have been bullied like that by a mere concubine, Lin Qinshuang, over the years.

Sheng Hong kept silent with a cold face. He didn't believe it, but he felt that his wife simply didn't have the wisdom and ability.

The old lady said, "Madam, the mothers around you have said it, why are you still unwilling to speak? Madam Liu is right. I know what kind of person you are. Even if you hate me and want to take revenge on me, you won't really want to kill me. Tell me, who ordered you to do it?"

She knew it was Aunt Kang, but these words had to come from Wang Ruofu's mouth.

Madam Liu pushed Wang Ruofu hard and urged loudly, "Madam, please tell me quickly. The Duke is your dear brother-in-law. Now that he has been harmed like this, do you still want to protect Madam Kang? Who is more important, the eldest daughter, Changbai'er and his family, or Madam Kang?"

"Madam, for the sake of our brothers and sisters, you'd better speak quickly."

Wang Ruofu's body kept shaking, and it was a long time before she spoke.

"It's my eldest sister, Madam Kang. She said that my mother had me under her control and always scolded and punished me. Now that the government has lost its power, my daughter-in-law can even step on my face. I am really living a miserable life."

Hearing this, Hai Chaoyun, the daughter-in-law, was immediately embarrassed. She never expected that she would be like this in the eyes of her mother-in-law.

Wang Ruofu continued to stutter.

"But my mother is in good health. I don't know how long she can last. So, so, I, I..."

Sheng Hong angrily slammed the table and shouted, "So you two sisters teamed up to poison mother, right?"

Wang Ruofu shook her head excitedly and retorted, "No, no, I won't. I don't dare. I really don't dare. She said that as long as my mother is weak and often bedridden, and doesn't have the energy to take care of this or that, I can be the head of the family."

"Oh my God, mother, how could you be so confused?"

Hua Lan wailed, then walked to Wang Ruofu, held Wang Ruofu with both hands, and shouted excitedly: "Mother, now you see, the master almost lost his life. If it was grandma instead of the master who ate the lotus seed cake, would grandma still be alive now, huh? Mother, mother, you really..."

The old lady covered her heart with her hands. Although she had guessed this possibility, when she heard the truth from Wang Ruofu, she still felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"old lady."
