Chapter 64: Finding the Murderer
“No need, go get grandma out, and let’s go back to the early spring hospital. After that, we have to buy some food and clothing, and we have to build a mansion in the future. There are many things waiting for us. Do it and don’t waste your time on such people.”
"Yes, Brother Qing."
Seeing Fenghuang's cheerful expression, Xiao Jinyu felt warm in her heart and couldn't help but laugh again.
…
The courtyard of Mrs. Xiao Yuan's family on the left is on the southeast side of Xiao Mansion. According to the position of the nine-star statue in Luoshu, it is actually the five-huang Lianzhen star and soil.
This is an extremely ominous sign!
When they arrived at the door of the small courtyard, they saw several maids lying lazily under a sycamore tree and taking a nap. It was not until Shiniang's maid You Tan pushed one of them that the maid became impatient. woke up and shouted: "What are you doing? Don't disturb my sleep!"
"Get up! Is this how you serve Madam?" Youtan couldn't help but curse.
The maid and other servants in the courtyard woke up. Seeing that it was Xiao Shiniang arriving, they ignored her at first. However, when they turned their eyes to Xiao Xian, who was walking step by step, their disdainful attitude suddenly changed. Horrified!
"Yes...it's Qilang-kun! Can Qilang-kun...can he walk?" one of the servant women said dumbly.
All the maids lowered their heads. Although this Qi Langjun was not favored, he was the legitimate son of Mrs. Zuo and the biggest legitimate son in the Xiao family now.
The maids still dare not neglect him easily.
"How is my mother doing now? Why aren't you waiting in the back room?"
Xiao Xian, who had always been gentle and cheerful, could not help but feel anger on his face at this moment.
"Madam... Madam was not in good spirits the past few days. She often hurt people with a knife, so Madam You asked the doctor in the palace to prescribe medicine. The servants cooked some medicine for Madam according to the prescription. She is still... still... While sleeping!" the maid replied hesitantly.
Xiao Xian had a bad premonition, so he rushed into the inner bedroom. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a foul smell, and Xiao Yuan lay motionless on the collapse, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"Mother? Mother! Auntie!" Xiao Xian called repeatedly, because he was afraid that his eyes showed extreme fear and worry, and he couldn't help but reach out to Xiao Yuan's nose with trembling hands.
At this time, Xiao Jinyu also walked over and saw that Xiao Yuan's face was green and her lips were even pale, but the slight rise and fall of her chest was still there, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Xian, grandma is not dead yet, let me do it!"
Suddenly remembering Xiao Jinyu's superb medical skills, Xiao Xian immediately took a step back and let her reach the bed.
After taking a pulse, Xiao Jinyu actually asked Phoenix to get a dagger, and without hesitation, he cut his white wrist and fed the blood into Xiao Yuan's mouth.
It was too late for Phoenix to step forward and stop him.
Xiao Xian even asked in shock: "Ayu, what are you doing? Why do you want to hurt yourself?"
"I have tasted hundreds of herbs, and my body has become immune to all poisons. Not long ago, I also took poison-avoiding pills. There is a medicine in my blood that can cure all poisons. Although it is not as effective as a whole poison-avoiding pill, it can still be used by my grandmother. Suppress the toxicity.”
"Then there's no need to hurt yourself! Brother Qing, can't you use a silver needle to force out poison?" Phoenix said distressedly.
"This time is different from last time, Phoenix. Last time you just ate poison, and I made you vomit a lot, so the poison didn't attack your heart. I could suppress it with silver needles, but my grandmother's situation is different now. This poison has been accumulated bit by bit, and now it has entered the heart. If it cannot be resolved, it will lead to death! "
Did it accumulate bit by bit?
After hearing this, Xiao Xian felt even more shocked and in pain, and couldn't help but clenched his fists.
"Who did it?" he asked.
All the maidservants in the room immediately knelt down and begged: "It's not me, it's not me, I don't know!"
At this time, Xiao Yuan, who drank Xiao Jinyu's blood, seemed to have gained some consciousness and her body moved slightly.
Fenghuang was the first to notice and quickly advised: "Brother Qing, Madam Zuo has moved, there is no danger for her life. Let go quickly and I will bandage your wound!"
As he spoke, he took a porcelain bottle containing medicine from the medicine box, sprinkled the powdered medicine foam on Xiao Jinyu's wound, and then bandaged it with clean silk.
After bringing Xiao Yuan back from the gate of hell, Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but feel happy and breathed a sigh of relief. After Phoenix bandaged the wound, he also turned his attention to the maids in the house.
"Uncle Xian, let me ask!" she said, walking up to the servants, "I am a doctor, so I know the poison that Madam eats every day, and how people who come into contact with it will react. If this poison is only Eating a little bit, or just touching a little bit, will indeed not cause any harm to people, but if it is often used to boil and fry, the smell will gradually poison the person's bone marrow, making it impossible to cure.
Even if you take this medicine for a long time, your fingers will gradually turn black, and you will become more and more tired and lethargic, until you are as delirious and crazy as an idiot, and you are just here sleeping, The poisoning must be severe, right? "
The more the servants listened, the more frightened and uneasy they became. One by one, they stretched out their hands to look. Sure enough, they saw black marks on their nails, and their drowsiness has become more and more serious in recent days.
"Yes, we have indeed suffered from drowsiness recently. Do we want to be like Mrs. Zuo..." A maid became frightened, looked at Xiao Jinyu, and suddenly crawled over and begged, "Doctor, you are a doctor, aren't you? Please save us, doctor." , please doctor save us!”
"So, who asked you to do this?" Xiao Jinyu asked.
"But I really don't know. I'm only responsible for decoction!"
"I am only responsible for taking the medicine according to the prescription!" Xiao Jinyu's eyes swept over these maids, and soon fell on a maid lying on the ground with her hands hidden in her sleeves.
"You, raise your head!"
Xiao Jinyu said coldly as his footsteps reached in front of him.
The maidservant was shaken, then slowly raised her head and stood up.
"Stretch out your hand!" Xiao Jinyu said again.
The maidservant was shocked, and suddenly she gritted her teeth. She suddenly jumped up from the ground, stabbing out a dagger in her hand. However, in this flash of lightning, before she had time to react, the dagger was knocked down by the phoenix. At the same time, There was a "click" sound from his wrist, and his whole body was thrown out like a kite with its string cut off.
"A servant dared to assassinate my brother Qing!" Phoenix said angrily.
At this time, Xiao Xian also came over and asked: "It's you, why did you want to harm my mother? Who ordered you to do this?"
The maid sneered, looked at Xiao Xian, and said with obsession and resentment: "Hahaha... Why do you do this? I do it for you! If your mother doesn't die, then you will be the one who dies. I just There is no choice!
Qi Langjun, you have probably never looked at me in the eyes. I was the maid Achan in your house!
Don’t you even recognize me? So what's the point of all this I'm doing? "
Xiao Xian was stunned and recalled carefully. It seemed that there had been so many maids around him, but because they were all the spies planted by Princess Yunyin, he was always on guard and did not pay too much attention to the appearance of these maids.
Later, the maids around him changed one after another, and he was even less interested in remembering the appearance of these maids.
"Shichiro-kun, I was sent to you by my mistress three years ago. Originally, I was going to use this poison on you, but I couldn't bear it, or I couldn't help myself falling in love with you, so I I just made up a lie and told the mistress that you were seriously poisoned and would die young, so that the mistress would not have to poison you anymore. After that, I was sent to your mother...
I'm just a servant, so what if I don't do this?
But fortunately, before I died, I finally saw you and told you my slave’s thoughts..."
Having said this, the maid actually looked at him and smiled, picked up the dagger and slit her own throat neatly.
"In this case, you should remember who I am?"
After saying that, the maid fell softly to the ground with a weird smile.
Xiao Xian was stunned for a moment, with an unspeakable guilt rising in his heart.
"Uncle Xian, you don't have to feel guilty. This is her own choice, and everyone must pay the price for their choice. You don't owe her anything, and her feelings have nothing to do with you!
Sometimes being too kind to your enemies is cruel to yourself or those around you. "
Hearing this, Xiao Xian was slightly shocked, looked at her and nodded slightly.
At this time, Xiao Jinyu walked up to the other servants again and said: "And you, although you are not the initiators of the poisoning, you ignore the existence of the master and let him fend for himself. As a servant of the Xiao family, who can Give you courage?"
One of the leading servants immediately cried and begged for mercy: "I am at fault. I deserve death. Please Qi Langjun and this girl give us another chance to change our ways. Please spare my life, oh, no." Please save our lives!"
"Yes, I know I'm wrong, please help me!"
The other maidservants also cried and begged in unison.
"How long has it been since you cleaned your wife's body?" Xiao Jinyu asked again.
The leading maid immediately said: "I'm going to fetch hot water to clean my lady right away. I'm going to go right away!"
"I'll go too!"
"I'll go too!"
Under the leadership of the middle-aged old woman, the maidservants quickly dispersed, and methodically brought hot water from the ear room and brought the bathtub to bathe Xiao Yuan.
Looking at all this, Xiao Xian felt indescribable pain and sorrow in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and admiration for Xiao Jinyu's brilliant and popular principles of doing things.
At this time, Xiao Jinyu said: "In a while, I will give grandma acupuncture to force some of the toxins out of her body. Take a look at what needs to be taken away from grandma's room! In half an hour, we will take Grandma, leave!"
Xiao Xian and Xiao Shiniang nodded, and the maids and servants around them were already busy.
"Ayu, thank you..."
Xiao Xian said suddenly, his eyes filled with thousands of words, which finally turned into a firm smile.
Thank you very much for the tip from Yanzhihu1, thank you very much!
