After Nanfeng diagnosed his wife's pulse, he and Mr. Zhao planned to leave the Anling Houfu together. When Yunhe heard that Nanfeng was planning to leave, she remembered Nanfeng's reminder just now. She wanted to take Yun'er to get the medicine in person, so she followed Nanfeng.
Feng and Mr. Zhao left the Anling Houfu together.
Nanfeng sent Yun He to Ci'an Medicine Hall, and the shopkeeper gave her five doses of medicine according to the prescription. After grabbing the medicine, Yun He and Yun'er left the medicine hall first.
On the way back to the Marquis Mansion, Yun He kept thinking about Nanfeng's words. His mother's health had not improved for so many years. It turned out that someone had tampered with her while giving her good medicine. In the Anling Marquis Mansion, only that aunt dared to
Scheming mother. The most important thing now is that she needs to find the person who did it.
Seeing that the young lady was worried all the way, Yun'er asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"When Mr. Nanfeng was diagnosing my mother's pulse just now, you were not in the room and you didn't know. The medicine my mother drank had been tampered with before." Yun He said.
"Is that why Madam's body is so weak?" Yun'er said.
"My mother's physical weakness is actually caused by a heart disease. However, if she slowly adjusts her condition according to the prescription, although the recovery will be slower, her body will not be as bad as it is now. After checking the pulse, Mr. Nanfeng found that my mother's condition was worse.
It's like poisoning. When I went to get some medicine, Mr. Nanfeng gave me two extra medicines. These two medicines are not for my mother to drink. If someone poisons the medicine, it will leave traces on my hands." Yun He
said.
"I think it's probably the old lady. Every time she looks at her, she looks like she wants to eat her. It seems that Anling Houfu is not as peaceful as we thought. The young lady should also be careful about the old lady in the future." Yun'er
said.
"I understand what you mean. Who knew that the old lady didn't care about her son and actually treated her as her own?" Yun He said.
"This is why Yun'er dared to say it in front of the young lady. I think that aunt is more like the old lady's biological daughter." Yun'er said.
"After you go back, you take these two medicinal materials to the kitchen. I want to see who is harming my mother. Take the rest to my yard and I will make the medicine for my mother myself," Yun He said.
"Miss, when you get back, let Yun'er make the medicine." Yun'er said.
The two chatted and laughed and soon arrived at the Anling Hou Mansion. After entering the Hou Mansion, Yun He inquired about it and found out that because his wife drank decoctions all year round, a small kitchen was built next to the main courtyard specifically for her.
Medicinal. So, Yun'er asked Yun'er to deliver the medicinal materials to the small kitchen, and then returned to the main courtyard to pay his respects to Madam.
"Mother." Yunhe said.
"You kid, don't you even worry about taking medicine?" the lady asked.
"Mother, Mr. Nanfeng's words have to make me worried. Mother's body is weak, but she will recover. More than ten years have passed and she has been drinking medicine. Why is her body not getting better?" Yun He said.
"I remember that this Mr. Nanfeng was the person close to Princess Pluto. I didn't expect that he could actually do medicine," the lady said.
"I heard from Mr. Zhao that even Mrs. Qin's fake death was due to Mr. Nanfeng." Yun He said.
After Yun He reported to his wife that they were safe, he returned to his courtyard. Yun He took a pack of medicinal materials and went to the small kitchen to boil medicine for his wife. An hour later, the maid from the main courtyard came over and invited Yun He to come and have a meal with her.
, Yunhe asked Yun'er to tell the maid that she would be there immediately.
"Miss, the medicine has been prepared. Do you need to take it over now?" Yun'er said.
"Master Nanfeng has told me that these medicines need to be drank before meals. I will change into clean clothes and we will go there with the medicine." Yun He said.
"yes."
Yun He got up and went back to his room to change his clothes, and then asked Yun'er to carry the soup and medicine to the main courtyard.
When her mother saw that Yun He had just come over, she said, "Why are you here now? The food is going to be cold."
Seeing that there were only his father and mother, Yun He asked, "Mom, where is the eldest brother?"
"I have important matters in the army, so I hurried back after I came back to visit you." Mother said.
Yun He waved and Yun'er brought the soup over. Yun He said: "Mother, this is my daughter's kiss."
I’ll prepare the medicine for you.”
"Hasn't the medicine I just brought back been delivered to the kitchen? Where did this medicine come from?" the lady asked curiously.
"Mother, these are to be taken after meals. My daughter prepared these for you and drink them now. Drink them while they are hot. My daughter will bring them earlier next time." Yun He said.
"Yun He is so filial that he boils medicine for his mother himself." An Linghou said with a smile.
An Linghou was very satisfied with this daughter. Although she had not been around for more than ten years, she was very sensible.
The lady picked it up and drank it all in one gulp. Yunhe brought some water and asked her mother to rinse her mouth. Then she said, "Mom, you can eat now."
The three of them had a pleasant meal. After they were full, Yun He did not rush back to the courtyard. He ate some more pastries in the main courtyard. Less than half an hour later, the maid came in with soup and medicine. Yun He paid attention.
When the maid found nothing in her hand, she asked, "Did you make this soup?"
"Miss, the decoction was not cooked by the slave. It was Xia Lan who asked the slave to bring it over after she cooked it." the maid said.
"Come here, call Xia Lan over. I have something to ask her," Yun He said.
"Yes, miss." the servant said.
Soon, Xia Lan was brought to the main courtyard. Yun He found that Xia Lan looked a little flustered, which was obviously a sign of guilty conscience.
"I've met the eldest lady," Xia Lan said.
"Are you Xia Lan?" Yun He asked.
"Yes, your servant is Xia Lan." Xia Lan said.
"Yunhe, this is the maid in my courtyard." The lady added.
"Were you able to make all the decoctions Madam made before?" Yun He asked.
"Most of them are made by slaves," Xia Lan said.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Yun He asked.
In fact, Xia Lan's hands were not exposed. On the contrary, Xia Lan seemed to have hidden her hands in her sleeves. Suddenly when she heard Yun He asking her, she was so frightened that she quickly clenched her fists.
"My slave's hands were a little dirty while working in the kitchen. I didn't even have time to wash them off before I was brought here." Xia Lan said.
"Oh? Then you can hold it out for me to see," Yun He said.
"Miss, my hands are really dirty. I'll show them to you after they are washed." Xia Lan refused.
"I just want to take a look now." Yun He said coldly.
Xia Lan knew that she couldn't hide today, so she had to stretch out her hands tremblingly. The lady was shocked when she saw Xia Lan's hand, and Xia Lan's fingers were all stained with red. It was obvious that Xia Lan should wash her hands.
I tried it several times, but unfortunately it couldn’t be washed off no matter how hard I washed it..c
Because Yun He had already prepared for it, he was not surprised. He said, "You are quite courageous. You actually dared to poison Madam's medicine."
"This slave can't understand what the lady said," Xia Lan said.
The lady was shocked after hearing Yun He's words, and quickly asked: "Xia Lan has been following me for a long time. Is there any misunderstanding in Yun He's case?"
"Yes, Miss, how could Xia Lan tamper with Madam's medicine?" Xia Lan said quickly.
"If you didn't do anything with your mother's medicine, why are your hands so colored?" Yun He asked.
"Miss, didn't I just say that? It was contracted in the kitchen. What does this have to do with Madam's decoction?" Xia Lan said.
"Today's soup is different from the usual ones. It's just to test the person who made the soup. If you put poison in it, your fingers will change color. So, it's you who has tampered with the soup over the years. Tell me, what's going on?
Why?" Yun He asked.
The lady did not expect that Xia Lan actually poisoned herself, and said angrily: "Xia Lan, I treat you well, why did you poison the soup?"
When Xia Lan saw that Yun He had exposed her, tears fell from her eyes. She knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, I have no choice but to poison the soup."
"Why did you do that?" the lady continued to ask.
"It's the old lady who threatens the slave with her family.
"Servant, if I don't do this, the old lady will kill my brother." Xia Lan said.
"Why did the old lady do this?" Yun He asked.
"This medicine was given to the slave by the old lady. She said that putting it in the decoction will not harm the body. However, it will make the lady's recovery slower, and it is not suitable for her to be pregnant if she is weak. In this way, Aunt Cheng will have a chance.
Xia Lan said in a low voice.
"It's unreasonable that the old lady would treat my mother like this." Yun He said angrily.
"Since the old lady is threatening you, why don't you tell the madam and the Marquis? At least they will make the decision for you." Yun He continued.
"Of course Madam will help me make the decision, but it is the old Madam who poisoned people. Even if the Marquis knows about it, it will not help. I don't dare to do this for the sake of my brother." Xia Lan said.
"What about this time? The old lady also gave you the medicine?" Yun He said.
"Yes, the old lady will give you a month's supply every time. At the beginning of this month, the old lady gave some to the slave. The slave did not give too much according to the old lady's request, and most of it will be left every month." Xia Lan
said.
"You mean you only put half of the poison and you still want me to thank you?" Yun He asked.
"I didn't mean that, I just want to tell the lady that I also have something to hide." Xia Lan cried.
After hearing this, the wife said sadly: "No wonder I got pregnant and had a miscarriage soon. It turned out that someone had tampered with the soup I drank."
"Xia Lan, you have poisoned your mother's medicine for so many years, why are you still refusing to let her go?" Yun He said angrily.
"The doctor's diagnosis of Madam's pulse today soon reached the old Madam's ears. She came to me specifically and asked me to continue adding ingredients to the soup." Xia Lan said.
"Mom, I'll leave Xia Lan to you. As for my grandmother's matter, I think you need to discuss it with your father," Yun He said.
The lady sighed and said, "The relationship between your father and your grandmother has never been good. If he knew about this, it would cause a huge commotion. I think it's better not to tell your father about this."
"Mother, this is not a trivial matter for you. Do you plan to bear it alone?" Yun He asked.
"If it's a minor matter, it wouldn't hurt to let your father know," the lady said.
"Why would mother do this? It's obviously the old lady's fault." Yun He said.
"After all, she is your grandmother," the lady said.
"She is not my grandmother? The old lady does not admit that I am her granddaughter, and I do not admit that she is my grandmother," Yun He said.
