famous eldest daughter

Chapter 681
Dong Xueruo left, and Dong Yuan could only grieve for a moment. He tried his best to suppress the grief in his heart, pulled away and sat back on the chair just now, glanced at Wanqing, and said to the doctor: "How long will it take for her to wake up?"

The doctor said: "Early tomorrow morning, late three to five days."

Dong Yuan frowned, "Three to five days? So long!"

The doctor shook his head, "Although the poison of rat poison is not as powerful as arsenic, it still damages the nerves and spleen..."

Listening to the doctor chewing on the words, Dong Yuan waved his hand impatiently, "Who wants to hear your endorsement? Just ask her if her memory will be affected if she wakes up."

"No, except for the detoxification just now, my body and bones are weak, my energy is low, and I need to recuperate and replenish myself, the rest will not be affected."

Hearing this, Dong Yuan felt at ease and glanced at Mrs. Bai beside him, intending to ask the doctor to check if something was wrong with her. However, when he thought of the pitiful appearance of Dong Xueruo being carried off just now, his heart twitched fiercely and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but He kept quiet and gave up, only asking the housekeeper to send the doctor away, "It's really hard to go to the doctor in the middle of the night. Please give more of the medical expenses to the doctor."

This means that it needs to be sealed.

The doctor knew what he heard, and immediately smiled coyly, "Master Hou, don't worry, although the old medical skills are passable, but the memory is really bad. Many things can be forgotten in the blink of an eye."

Dong Yuan twitched his lips slightly in response and said nothing.

The housekeeper led the way and sent the doctor out all the way. When he reached the second door, he found a dark and uninhabited place and suddenly pulled the doctor's collar and dragged him to the wall. He raised his hand to lift the clothes around his neck and pulled him toward him. On the wall.

After this sudden change, the doctor thought that the housekeeper was trying to silence Yongninghou, and he was frightened all over, and begged: "Master housekeeper, I have seniors and younger ones, and the whole family depends on me alone." To support me, please be merciful and I will give you all the money I spent on medical visits to help me find a way to survive..."

In panic, he was trembling with anger as he asked for help.

The housekeeper covered his mouth and said viciously: "Shut up, I'm going to ask you something. If it's me, just nod. If it's not you, just shake your head. Do you hear me?"

Facing the housekeeper's harsh words, the doctor was frightened. He opened his round eyes and nodded as he pecked at the rice.

"Did you accept Aunt Wan's money?"

Hearing this, the doctor's eyes immediately filled with shock. He subconsciously wanted to shake his head in denial, but he felt the butler's tightening strength on his neck. His spine went numb and his hair stood on end. He immediately nodded heavily in recognition.

Seeing his confession, the housekeeper snorted coldly, "I knew it!" As he spoke, he held the doctor's hand and said, "How much she has given you to make you frame the majestic Mrs. Hou of Yongninghou without conscience."

The doctor had long been frightened out of his wits by the housekeeper. Hearing this, he answered honestly: "3000 taels of silver."

"3000 taels?" A cold smile appeared on the corner of the housekeeper's mouth, "3000 taels is quite a lot. No wonder you are willing to take the risk! What kind of poison did Aunt Wan have?"

"You... how did you tell that she wasn't poisoned by rat poison..." Every word of the butler's question was on the edge of the knife. The doctor was so shocked that he almost forgot that his neck was still being pulled hard by the butler, and couldn't help but blurt out.

The butler's hand on his neck immediately tightened. The doctor's feet were dangling in the air and he kicked wildly. His eyes turned white and his breath was not smooth. It took him half a cup of tea before the butler let go.
But for the doctor, this half cup of tea is a long and difficult time.

He finally let go, and the doctor immediately gasped like an old dog on the verge of death, panting violently.

The housekeeper gritted his teeth in his ear and said, "You are not qualified to ask me any questions. If you don't tell the truth in a single word of what I ask you, the soil under your feet will be your tomb."

The threatening voice was not loud, but it had the power to pierce the heart and lungs, making the doctor's already fearful heart tremble even more. He nodded heavily, "Definitely, definitely."

The butler repeated, "What kind of poison did she have?"

Having learned the lesson just now, the doctor did not dare to delay any longer and said immediately: "It's just Ecstasy."

The housekeeper frowned and asked in disbelief, "Ecstasy will make your mouth vomit blood?"

The doctor smiled bitterly, "I added a few Chinese medicines to it." He pointed to the medicine box and said, "I still have two pills in the medicine box. If you don't believe it, I'll take it out and you can find someone to try it." knew."

The housekeeper let go of his neck, and the doctor, who had been hanging for a long time, immediately fell down with a "snap", his feet landed on the ground, and his heart felt a little more stable. He quickly opened the medicine box and went to take the pills inside, but the moment he knocked the pills over, When his fingers touched the silver needle on one side, his heart couldn't help but get excited.

But before the thought could form, the butler sneered in his ears, "You still expect to be able to subdue me with this silver needle? Stop dreaming! I advise you to be honest and cooperate with me, it will be to your benefit, otherwise, I will send it to you immediately You go to the underworld to keep my third lady company."

The doctor was so frightened that his thoughts were revealed. He walked around the silver needle with trembling fingers, took out two pills and handed them to the housekeeper, "This is it."

Under the moonlight, the housekeeper glanced at the two pills. Without distinguishing them carefully, he took them, put them away, and said to the doctor: "Based on my understanding of this aunt, she will be unconscious tonight." It is a sharp blade she uses to deal with our lady, but once everything is done tomorrow, you will be a useless sword. However, your useless sword still holds the secret of her lifeline. With her temperament, I am afraid she will not let you live. How long.”

"You said Aunt Wan wanted to kill me to silence me?" the doctor said in disbelief.

The housekeeper glanced at him coolly and said, "What do you think? In this world, after all, only dead people keep secrets."

The figure of the dying maid in the room came to mind, and the doctor's heart trembled. Even if the maid conveyed the words to him on behalf of Aunt Wan, she would not let go of her personal maid, so he was the one who was doing things for her. doctor……

The doctor believed the butler's words and knelt down, "Please show me a way to survive."

Although he is timid, he is not stupid. If the housekeeper only wanted to know the truth, he would have asked questions in front of Lord Hou in the room, but now, he turns his back on everyone and interrogates himself alone, which shows that he He has his own ulterior motives.

Since he has a purpose, he has the value of being used, and valuable people will not die!

Seeing that he was sleeping well, the housekeeper smiled and said, "I'll do a business with you. I'll give you money and you do things for me. How about that?"

"As you command!" Right now, he had no choice.

"You leave the house immediately. After you go back, you pack up a little and leave Kyoto with your whole family overnight. Go to a place called Fengtai Town in Rizhao, Shandong Province to find a pharmacy called Lingzhi Hall and work as a doctor there. After you arrive, naturally Someone sent me a message back."

"I'll give you two months. Within two months, if I don't get any news from there, the Ministry of Punishment will definitely issue a nationwide arrest warrant to arrest you. If you listen to my arrangements, within two months If you arrive safely within [-] minutes, just stay and work peacefully while waiting for my arrangements."

"I want to leave Beijing? I still have a medicine hall in Kyoto..." The doctor immediately shook his head.
