Chapter 6 Dog bites dog
  Shen Zhuoxi, who had not spoken for ten years after his illness, actually spoke!
  Everyone was stunned in place.
  Yu Qinglian was the first to react, squinting his eyes slightly as he looked at her, and asked suspiciously: "Are you okay?"
  Shen Zhuoxi ignored her and repeated with a smile: "Mother Wang."
  "What do you mean? Don't be pretentious!" Shen Jingya took a few steps forward. She wanted to make a move but didn't dare. Her eyes almost popped out: "Mother, look at her."
  "Obviously he's already well, but he has to pretend to be deaf and dumb when he can speak. He harbors evil intentions and cannot be spared lightly."
  Han Xiangru cooperated and snorted coldly: "Second Miss is trying to divert attention. She doesn't greet her elders after she can speak. What are you talking about, Grandma Wang? Two lives are not easily bypassed."
  Yu Qinglian's face darkened and she said, "That's right. Even if it's just a servant girl who dies, it's still a human life. You can't be careless. Someone come and arrest the second young lady!"
  "Mother Wang." Shen Zhuoxi looked at Shen Jingya with a smile: "Medicine."
  "Hey, you fool!" Shen Jingya didn't understand what she meant and said angrily, "You're playing with us, right?"
  Aunt Ju guessed Shen Zhuoxi's plan and said weakly: "I have the courage to interrupt, the second lady. Will the second lady want to say that Aunt Wang is related to the person who delivered the medicine?"
  "Nonsense." Shen Jingya said immediately: "You damn bitch is clearly trying to sow discord between me and my mother. Grandma Wang came from the Earl's Mansion with her mother and has been serving her for many years."
  "Why did she kill my nurse and maid for no reason?"
  "I dare not stir up trouble." Aunt Ju took a step back in fright and said in a trembling voice: "I know the second lady well and guessed it through her words."
  "Third Miss, please calm down." Aunt Yang, who seemed to be absent, took the opportunity to say: "I see that the Second Miss is not able to speak clearly. She is probably still confused. Aunt Ju is just following what the Second Miss said."
  Yu Qinglian also noticed something was wrong at this time, and tested Shen Zhuoxi half-heartedly: "What did you mean by what you just said?"
  "Medicine, I'll take the medicine." Shen Zhuoxi pretended to be unfaithful and said word by word: "Mother Wang, follow me out."
  Although it was intermittent, it was not difficult to guess that what she wanted to say about Shen Jingya's nanny and maid might have happened to Grandma Wang.
  In any case, Grandma Wang is the person close to Yu Qinglian, and she will never allow Grandma Wang to get involved in the murder case and tarnish her reputation.
  Yu Qinglian raised her eyes slightly and asked, "What do you mean, Grandma Wang went out with the Third Miss and the nanny?"
  Shen Zhuoxi nodded.
  Yu Qinglian didn't care whether Shen Zhuoxi was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. She took a deep breath and ordered: "Bring Grandma Wang here."
  Grandma Wang was scolded by Shen Zhuoxi. Her wrist hurt so much that she couldn't sleep, so she went out all night to see a doctor.
  However, the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with her wrist, and he couldn't stop her from crying, so he gave her some painkillers and dismissed her.
  The painkillers only had a short-term effect. After a while, the pain came back again. She screamed in pain and stayed up all night. She asked the doctor who came to see Shen Zhuoxi to check her pulse again.
  The result was the same as what the doctor said last night. Grandma Wang's wrist was normal and she couldn't be in so much pain that she couldn't control herself.
  Yu Qinglian guessed that Grandma Wang came from the Earl's Mansion with her. She was used to being arrogant and naughty, so she probably made up a lie just to avoid being lazy.
  Just as she wanted to take the opportunity to deal with Shen Zhuoxi, she followed Grandma Wang's words and let her rest for a day.
  It had only been one night, and Grandma Wang looked haggard, and her hair on her temples was a little gray.
  After saying goodbye, he hung up one hand and cried out in pain, begging with tears streaming down his face: "Madam, this slave was harmed by the second young lady. The pain is unbearable. You must seek justice for this slave!"
  Only then did Yu Qinglian feel that Grandma Wang was not pretending, but was really hurting.
  She frowned and said to the doctor who was about to retreat: "Please take another look."
  The doctor didn't want to participate in the internal fighting in the mansion, and he didn't dare to disobey her, so he could only take his pulse with a grimace.
  But looking left and right, he couldn't see any clues. The doctor said with a sad face: "Madam, I'm sorry for my incompetence. I can't see the fault in my hands. You'd better hire someone else!"
  Really no problem?
  Yu Qinglian then thought about it, could it be that the death of the two maids was indeed caused by Grandma Wang, so she acted in an attempt to escape?
  But why is she killing people when she has nothing to do?
  Not only her, but others also had the same guess, seeing that the expressions of Grandma Wang and Yu Qinglian changed a bit.
  Especially Han Xiangru, holding the handkerchief tightly, almost wanted to ask questions.
  Grandma Wang didn't know that in just a short while, she would be carrying two lives on her back. The pain in her wrist affected her entire arm, and the pain made her want to hit the wall.
  She did so seriously, banging her head on the marble floor.
  After a while, blood oozed from his forehead, and he kept begging Yu Qinglian: "Madam, please give this slave a happy life."
  "This slave is in pain that is worse than death. Shen Zhuoxi is a demon star. She knows magic. Her wrist is obviously broken, but the doctor can't tell where the injury is!"
  "Aunt Wang, kill someone." Shen Zhuoxi had long expected that Aunt Wang would use the demon star as an excuse to bite her, so she took out a bowl from nowhere and said, "Poison."
  Yu Qinglian took a deep look at Shen Zhuoxi, turned to the bowl, and said, "What is this?"
  "Go back to the eldest lady." Aunt Ju recognized the bowl. She was afraid that Shen Zhuoxi would reveal her flaws if she spoke too much, so she rushed over and said, "It's the medicine bowl that Third Miss sent the wet nurse and Qiao'er to deliver medicine to Second Miss yesterday."
  Is there poison in the bowl?
  Yu Qinglian found some brown traces on the bottom of the bowl, and turned her eyes to the doctor who was about to sneak away: "Go and take a look. Is there anything unusual?"
  The doctor secretly complained. If he had known that he would step into troubled waters this time, he should not have been tempted by money!
  With this thought in mind, he took the bowl and inspected it carefully, saying, "Go back to Madam, I can't tell what the medicine is, but there is indeed poison in it."
  "And the weight is not light, otherwise there wouldn't be so much attached to the bottom of the bowl."
  Was the poison inflicted by Grandma Wang or Shen Jingya?
  Yu Qinglian knew that the matter was out of control and signaled Nanny Hua to take the doctor out.
  He looked at Shen Jingya with gloomy eyes: "I thought you were just arrogant and willful, but I didn't expect that you could even do things like poisoning your sisters, so why would you take me seriously?"
  "Mother!" Shen Jingya was startled, and without thinking, she knelt down and retorted: "It's not me. I only play tricks on Shen Zhuoxi on weekdays. How dare I poison others."
  "Who else is it if it's not you?" Yu Qinglian said bitterly: "Did I send the person who delivered the medicine?"
  "Yes, yes..." Shen Jingya knew that human life was involved, so she could not admit it. She said in a hurry: "Just now, Shen Zhuoxi said it was Grandma Wang!"
  I don't know whether it was the pain or the result of kowtow, but Grandma Wang's mind was confused.
  He vaguely heard that he had poisoned people, and was accused by Shen Jingya. He raised his head blankly: "My servants are like this, how can I still harm people?"
  "Miss Third, if you do something bad yourself, you can't blame it on this slave, which will tarnish the reputation of the First Lady!"
  For a moment, there was no one speaking in the room except for the sound of Grandma Wang sobbing and having various thoughts.
  The corners of Shen Zhuoxi's mouth curled up slightly - this was the effect she wanted.
  They haven't gained a foothold yet and have no supplies at hand, so they can only let them bite the dog first!
