After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 115: Murdering a grandson
The two wives were so angry that they were arguing about the charcoal fire, and Xie Li watched the excitement for a long time.

It was when the old lady saw that Ke Yiqing hadn't come for a long time that her descendants went out to have a look, and this farce ended hastily.

Manager Li lifted the door curtain, and there was an old woman lying inside. Her face was sunken and her eyes were cloudy. She looked really bad.

"This is……"

The eldest lady sighed, "Since the second master went to prison again, the old lady's health has been deteriorating day by day, and she has been having nightmares all night long."

"Have a nightmare?"

"Yes, the two masters of the Hou family are in prison. How can we women and children survive?"

As he spoke, he wiped away his tears again, unable to see the fierceness he had shown when he and the second lady were fighting over coal.

Ke Yiqing was surprised. It seemed that Gu Zhennan's death was indeed kept secret. At least no one in the Hou family knew about it.

The charcoal fire in the room was not burning brightly, but whenever the wind blew or someone moved around, half of the thin heat would escape. Sitting in this room was actually not comfortable for her.

"Yiqing, you're finally here." The old lady was lying on the bed, but she was in good spirits.

"Junior came late, I hope the old lady will not punish you."

Yujin pursed her lips and smiled, and stepped forward to offer the ginseng supplement she had chosen earlier.

The old lady took it and took a look, but she was very satisfied, "Yiqing is still considerate, and you can think of me even when you are away."

The implication behind the words was that the two daughters-in-law were trying to criticize her for not buying her such good supplements.

She didn't say anything, but she also noticed that the faces of the ladies in the two rooms were much ugly.

The atmosphere was dull, but a child was crying from the next room.

Xie Li frowned and said, "Why does this child's cry sound wrong?"

The old lady was anxious, "Don't talk nonsense, I take good care of this child every day, what's wrong?"

If he had a soft personality, he would probably be fooled, but who is Xie Li?Without saying a word, she went straight to the place where the cry came from.

Ke Yiqing didn't think anything of it and hurriedly followed.

"What are you feeding?"

The mother-in-law and maid serving over there was the one she had arranged to come here before. She also expected the child to treat the old lady well, so she was naturally fine.

The woman replied: "It's my slave's milk."

Xie Li took the child's pulse and observed the child's tongue, saying nothing was right.

"Bring me the latest food and show it to me."

The mother-in-law glanced at Ke Yiqing, saw the man nodded slightly, and agreed.

When the old lady heard the news, she panicked and said in surprise, "Who are you? Why do you say something is wrong?"

"This is the Xie Shengshou of Deji Hall. The pulse she checked is correct."

Xie Li was always attentive to her work. Although the old lady was already making trouble here, she still went about checking her mother-in-law's food.

"Have you been feeling unwell lately?"

The mother-in-law said blankly: "No."

"Then why does your food taste like medicine?"

"I don't know, madam, you know me. How could I do such a thing?"

Ke Yiqing also didn't believe it. This woman was half their neighbor and she was honest and kind. It would be too strange to say that she wanted to harm the child for no reason.

"Is there some misunderstanding in this matter?"

Xie Li shook his head, "This old lady doesn't have any chronic diseases, but the medicine in her food is really real." At this time, the maid who followed also said a few words for the old lady, "Grandma Chen is the most kind-hearted person." However, she is also very patient with the children. Even when the old lady kicked the children out of the inner courtyard when they made noise, she didn’t say anything, so how could she harm the children?”

The speaker has no intention of listening, but the listener has a heart. The child is so young that he doesn't even know anyone. Naturally, there is no hatred in the Hou family, but the old lady is different. The old lady thinks that the child can defeat her.

But there is no evidence at this time, and the child must continue to live in the Hou Mansion. If you want him to live in peace in the future, there will definitely be a big fuss at this time.
Ke Yiqing remained calm and reassured that the rice and noodles seller might have accidentally mixed it in.

The mother-in-law knelt down, cried softly and kowtowed a few times. The man in her family had died of the cold epidemic, and there were still a group of children waiting to be fed, and there was an old mother to take care of them. If it weren't for such a good job, such a situation would not be possible. Everyone, I still don’t know what will happen in the end.

Regarding this, Ke Yiqing also felt very heavy, but every wrong has its owner and every debt has its owner. Now the old lady can't even tolerate such a small child, and she might be holding back some bad tricks after she leaves.

After all, it was partly her fault that this child's life was so miserable. In the end, she was also responsible.

Seeing that the matter had calmed down, the old lady became more at ease, "Okay, okay, today is my birthday, what do you think of being gathered here? Grandma Chen, go stew the ginseng that Yiqing sent. I want to eat later.”

The maid seemed to be complaining a little, but Grandma Chen was really good-tempered. She said that she would go after putting the child to sleep.

"how?"

Xie Li pulled the person to a corner with an angry look on his face, "Your ex-mother-in-law is really cruel."

Her heart moved, "How can I say this?"

"This Marquis's mansion is so dilapidated, but I smelled a strong smell of medicine in her house just now. I'm afraid she has a lot of medicinal materials here, right?"

"Yes, I heard that after people come out, their energy and energy are gone, and they have been hanging up with medicine."

Now Ke Yiqing also realized that the old lady had medicine, but Grandma Chen also had medicine in her food. Could it be a coincidence?

She asked carefully: "What are the medicines in Grandma Chen's food?"

"They are just some warming and tonic herbs, which are harmless to adults, but if they are turned into milk and fed to children, I'm afraid it won't be good."

She was not good at pharmacology, but she also understood that the wet nurse had to pay attention to the food of such a small child. The old lady's move was really cruel.

"It really is her."

"You knew it a long time ago?"

Ke Yiqing sighed and told Xie Li about the excuse he had given to the goddess to restrain his parents.

"Although the child's biological mother is quite hateful, she is indeed innocent. No matter what, I will protect him."

Xie Li was surprised and thought she was too kind-hearted, "If you ask me, you have already exhausted your kindness."

The utmost benevolence and righteousness?She was amused.

If Xie Li knew that she came here to send the old lady to the West, I wonder if his evaluation of her would change.

"Yiqing, come here quickly!" The old lady smiled and waved to her. Those who didn't know must have thought that she was a kind and charitable old woman who was easy to get along with.

Who knows that underneath the gentle appearance, there is a vicious heart that wants to murder his own grandson?
Ke Yiqing smiled brightly and stepped forward to hold the person's hand, "It's so cold outside, old lady, take care of your body."

"Okay, okay, your ginseng is good. I just took it and I felt much better."

Her smile continued, "If it's good, I'll send someone to send it to you."

Naturally, the old lady agreed hurriedly. She pulled the man into the house, saying that she would not live long and that her life was miserable, and she also praised the man that there was nothing in the sky or anything on the earth.

Ke Yiqing's face was not showy at all, and he could handle any words he said with ease.

After half a stick of incense, the old lady's mouth was already dry. She drank a big mouthful of ginseng soup, and finally said as a last resort: "Let me tell you straight, in order to save the second and youngest, basically all the stickers are posted at home these days. Went in and borrowed a lot.”

As he spoke, he began to cry again.

Finally arrived, she pretended to be worried, "How much did you borrow in total? How could it be like this? Didn't I give you 3000 taels of silver before?"

The old lady choked, and she basically used all the money to buy ginseng supplements. There was someone in the family who could kill her, how could she not take care of herself?
The old lady definitely couldn't say anything about this, she could only hesitate and say that she borrowed a total of 5000 taels.
