Chapter 252 Poison Tea (Fifth Watch)
After it was finished, he let out a sigh of relief and stuffed the medicine bag into his sleeve.

Then he stared coldly at the teapot.

"Miss Four?"

Hearing such a sudden sound, Shen Shu trembled in fright.

When she turned around, she was a maid in the mansion.

The maid continued: "Miss Si, I have found you. Someone from the Li family is here, and the old matriarch is sending someone to look for you."

Shen Shu took a deep breath and calmed herself down: "I'll go right away."

Then she pointed to the teapot: "Is this for my grandmother?"

The servant girl nodded: "Yes, the servant girl is here to get the teapot."

"You stay here, I'll take it with you."

"Yes."

Shen Shu's hands holding the tray were shaking. When passing by the fish pond, she threw the medicine paper in her sleeve into it, and she didn't leave until it sank into the pond.

Full of blessings.

Mrs. Li came here with her son Li Yu, she didn't have any special requirements for her daughter-in-law, as long as she was filial and virtuous.

And the family of the Duke's Mansion.Even if they marry concubine daughters, they are the ones who are overrated.

Li Yu was very handsome, with the feeling of the little brother next door, with a strong scholarly air, and he put his hands on his knees at the moment, looking very reserved.

Zhao Huiwei had been here for a long time, but she didn't find any poisonous tea. Outside, Shen Shu walked in with calm eyes, which immediately attracted Li Yu's attention.

With the teapot in her hand, Shen Shu first bowed her knees respectfully: "Grandmother."

She saluted Mrs. Li again: "Mrs. Li, Mr. Li is good."

Mrs. Li looked at her cheerfully, this should be the fourth young lady of the Shen residence, right?
He is well-behaved, and his temperament looks quiet, Madam Li is already satisfied with her at the first image, and Li Yu's face is flushed, she is prettier than any girl he has ever seen before.

Shen Shu walked forward, she looked at Zhao Huiwei, why is she here?
Before she had time to think too much, she put the teapot beside Mrs. Shen's table, then stepped back and sat opposite Li's house.

Mrs. Shen held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, glanced at Shen Shu, and then at Li Yu who was also shy, very satisfied.

She introduced to Mrs. Li: "This is my fourth son, named Shen Shu."

Mrs. Li nodded repeatedly, and smiled: "As expected of a girl brought up by Shen Guogong's mansion, her words and deeds are pleasing to the eye, gentle and virtuous."

That's an exaggeration, but who doesn't like a good word?Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "She is not as good as you said, my fourth girl is very skinny, so she is quiet for a while now."

Mrs. Li said with a smile, "Miss is more lively and cute."

Shen Shu lowered her head and said nothing, but she still felt disgusted, whether it was Mrs. Li's compliment or Mr. Li's scrutiny, it made her feel sick.

As for Li Yu, he fell in love with this girl from the very first sight. It turns out that the love at first sight mentioned in the book is true.

Mrs. Shen got thirsty after chatting with Mrs. Li, so she poured a cup of tea.

The fragrance of tea was overflowing, and Yingluo's face changed when she heard it: "Girl, this tea is not right."

The teacup has been brought to Old Madam Shen's mouth, Zhao Huiwei reached out and knocked the cup away, the cup made a crisp sound when it fell on the ground, and the tea made a "chichi" sound on the ground.

"Old Madam, this tea cannot be drunk, it is poisonous."

Shen Shu's face suddenly turned pale.

Even Mrs. Shen looked at the tea on the ground in surprise.

She looked at Shen Shu, and said in a calm voice: "Chao Hua, take my token and invite Imperial Physician He to come!"

Chao Hua looked serious: "Yes!"

Mrs. Li was also afraid, she looked at the tea in her hand, she was a little thankful that she didn't drink it, and then she looked at her son and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was well.

She really didn't expect that the Duke's Mansion would be so terrifying, and there would be such a thing as poisoning at a banquet.

After Zhao Huiwei was sure that Mrs. Shen was rescued, she felt relieved and her tense body relaxed.

Old Madam Shen's eyes sank slightly: "Sister Shu! What's going on here?"

Shen Shu was so frightened that her little face turned pale and her whole body trembled. She shed tears and shook her head: "I don't know, grandma..."

"I just went to the tea room and wanted to bring you tea in person. I know I was too much before. I just want you to have a better impression of me. I don't know why there is poison in the tea. I really don't know. "

She was crying like pear blossoms and raining, and she looked at everyone pleadingly: "It's not me, it's really not me. Believe me, it's really not me."

Mrs. Li's face was slightly stiff, and she stood up: "Since your residence still has important matters to deal with, I will take my dog ​​and leave first."

Old Madam Shen slightly closed her eyes: "Luzhu, send Mrs. Li, Mr. Li leaves the mansion."

The maidservant named Luzhu at the door responded, and she stretched out her hand: "Madam Li, Mr. Li, please."

Mrs. Li was in a hurry, but Li Yu turned her head to look at Shen Shu, but met her pleading eyes.

As if seeking refuge.

"Yu'er, let's go." Seeing that her son was still looking at Shen Shu, Mrs. Li hurriedly dragged him away. There were too many troubles in Shen's residence, and she didn't want this marriage.

And who knows whether Shen Shu participated in the poisoning, Mrs. Li also came out of the house fight, she thought more than her own son.

As for Li Yu, he was conflicted in his heart, but when he thought of those teary eyes just now, he suddenly believed her firmly in his heart.

Such a beautiful and lovely girl must not have been made by her.

Only Shen Shu was crying in the Fumantang.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Qi rushed over and was a little disappointed at the scene in front of her. She thought that Shen Shu had become a successor, so she was called here urgently. As a result, Mrs. Shen was sitting properly, and there were broken teacups on the ground. The film, at a glance, reveals itself.

It's really not enough to succeed.

Qi's heart secretly hated, and her face was anxious: "Mother-in-law, what's the matter? Are you okay?"

Mrs. Shen ignored her, and Mrs. Qi also shut up after making fun of herself.

Imperial Physician He came soon, along with Shen Guogong and Shen Mingnan.

Shen Mingnan first looked at Zhao Huiwei, and was relieved to see that she was well.

He Taiyi put the silver needle into the teapot, but within a few seconds, the silver needle was pitch black, showing the strong toxicity.

He picked it up again and smelled it, and finally put down the teapot with a frown: "This tea contains Zhujisan, if you take a sip, you will die."

"This medicine is rare, and most people can't buy it."

Therefore, the words of Imperial Physician He ruled out ordinary people. Since it is rare, only the rich and powerful can buy it.

Shen Guogong cast his eyes on Shen Shu, and Shen Shu trembled: "Father, I didn't want to murder grandma, it really wasn't me."

He frowned and looked at his own daughter, she was not something a little girl could get, but this didn't make him feel at ease, after all, the person behind was going to poison his mother.

He said with a cold face, "Come here, lock Miss Fourth in the room, and don't let her out until the truth is found out."
