The concubine of the famous family is very evil.

Chapter 40

It seems that the person who poisoned must be very aware of Si Yiniang's habit, so the wives can rule it out. The only ones who can poison Si Yiniang are Dong'er, Ling'er, and Nanny , only these three people can get close to Si Yiniang's side, but it is impossible for Dong'er. After meeting twice, Jinniang can see that Dong'er is very loyal to Si Yiniang, otherwise, she would not deliberately put Si Yiniang The aunt's predicament deliberately thought of a way to spread it in front of the master.

Jinniang looked up at Ling'er again, and saw that her hands were clenched into fists, her head was lowered, as if she was afraid that others would notice her, the sweat from her temples had begun to flow to her neck, she was so nervous , because I heard what I said.

Taking advantage of the time when Imperial Physician Liu was going to test, Jinniang pretended to be surprised and said to the old lady: "Ah, old lady, do you think Linger is sick? The weather is not so hot, why is she sweating so much?" Ah, you might as well tell her not to kneel."

Mrs. Liu is such a shrewd person, when she heard this, she smiled clearly, and said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, you must have poisoned Si Yiniang's tea and incense."

Ling'er was so nervous that she listened to the old lady's bluffing and shaking, she bowed her head and bowed: "Old lady, please forgive me, old lady, please forgive me, servant... the servant just put medicinal powder in the tea, not the incense. poison."

Jinniang really didn't expect Ling'er to tell the truth without being frightened.

The old lady was also startled when she heard that, but her face sank, and she shouted: "Slave dog, tell me quickly, who made you poison!"

At this moment, Linger was so frightened that three souls lost two souls, and she slammed on the bluestone floor, "Old lady, please forgive me, this slave girl didn't know that it would be fatal, and only said that it would make fourth aunt weak. ...It was the Da Furen who made the slaves drink the tea that Fourth Aunt drinks every day, and the slaves can't do anything about it, the slaves dare not disobey what the Da Furen says."

Sure enough, it was her, even if he had expected it earlier, the master still felt a throbbing pain in his heart. They have been married for more than ten years, and they only heard about it before, but never saw it with their own eyes. , he didn't want to bear it anymore, and he turned around and shouted: "Where is Changzhong!"

Chang Zhongzheng invited the old man to come, and when he heard the old man yelling at him so loudly, he was so frightened that he ran over, but the old man frowned and scolded: "What are you yelling in broad daylight!"

When the old man turned his head, he saw that the old man had returned, and hurriedly got up to salute the old man. The fourth concubine and Jin Niang went to salute the old man, and the old man sat down next to the old lady. , didn't ask any questions, Hongxiu made tea, and he brought it to drink, not surprised what happened.

It just so happened that Imperial Physician Liu came out happily, and he didn't care about showing respect to the old man, but he said to Jin Niang: "The fourth girl is really a genius. She actually thought that mixing these two things can produce poison. After the official inspection, Si Yiniang was poisoned after drinking the anesthetic tea and smelling the incense."

Jinniang finally breathed a sigh of relief, guesses are just speculations, guesses must be confirmed before they become facts.

After listening to Imperial Physician Liu's words, the old man looked at Jinniang with a long look. Seeing Jinniang's polite and modest words, he nodded slightly approvingly.

The ten kneeling servants all had different expressions, some were indifferent, some were gloating, some were ashen, and the old lady didn't bother to interrogate them one by one, so she said to them directly, "I found one, tell me, and Who is the accomplice? If you come out by yourself, you can only pay fifty boards, if I find out, then your family will have to pay fifty boards."

Nine times out of ten, the people below were born at home. After hearing what the old lady said, they all bowed their heads in fright.

When the old lady saw it, she trembled with anger, "You...you are the one I handpicked, so it's you?"

The nanny kowtowed in fright, not daring to say a word.

"Tell me, who ordered you." The old lady wanted them to admit it in front of the old lady.

"It's the eldest lady. The eldest lady threatened the servant. If she doesn't do so, she will drown the son of the servant. The servant has only one son, and the servant has no choice but to obey."

The old man's complexion finally sank after hearing this, and he said to the old man: "Go and call your wife, I told you on weekdays that you want to strengthen your husband, see, you are a soft persimmon, and you have indulged me for so many years. In the end, it became more and more outrageous."

The master looked ashamed when he heard this, but he said helplessly: "Could it be possible to divorce her?"

When the old man heard this, he said angrily: "Nonsense! The old master is still there, and your uncle is not easy to provoke. When you go to the border, he will not stab you in the back. He will just send you food and grass for a few days." , is enough to kill you, are you crazy?"

The old man smiled wryly when he heard this, his heart ached so much, but he was no longer as timid as before, but he said directly to the old man: "My son will submit a letter to the Holy One when he goes to court tomorrow. My son wants to promote Su Xin. Now Brother Xuan is the only one in the house, she...she is not tolerated by Brother Xuan, if Su Xin is allowed to be a concubine, then Su Xin mother and son will have to be killed by her."

The old man sighed and said to the old lady, "You agree?"

The old lady nodded, "Master Xiang, the most important thing now is Brother Xuan. No matter how big the family business is, if there is no root, what is the use of earning so much?"

The old man's face immediately turned serious: "Then let's go with An'er, but... the in-laws... I'm afraid it's not so easy to deal with."

The old lady got angry when she heard it, and said angrily: "She made such a big mistake, and the Sun family didn't do anything to her. The only root seedling in the family."

The old man waved his hand and said to the ten kneeling people: "Whoever commits a crime will be fined, and those who have not committed a crime will also be deducted a month's monthly payment. Let all the servants come and watch after a while." Xing, come, and drag these two people down." After finishing speaking, he said, "By the way, I went to invite Da Furen to watch the punishment together."

Ling'er and Xuan'er's nanny were dragged down by four strong women. The old lady was not in good shape and was tired for so long, so she was accompanied by Hongxiu and went into the inner room to rest The fourth aunt was also helped down to take medicine.
