Chapter 144 Making the decision for my concubine

Four witnesses came.

There are two people from the Duke's Mansion, one is the rough lady in Wu's courtyard, and the other is the maid serving tea in the big kitchen. The other two...

"The one on the left is a neighbor of the Wu family, and the one on the right is purchased by my adoptive father."

After Huo Xi introduced him, Yang and Huo Erhuai nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, his surname is Mao and his name is Mao Er. He is a purchaser from a grassroots family."

Huo Erhuai and Mr. Yang were worried that the family's purchases, together with outsiders, would harm the British public?

The couple's hearts were pounding. Could it be that something happened to the Duke of Guo in their home? The two children really...

No, no, how could two children harm their biological father?

Yes, these two children are not the kind of people who would do anything to avenge their mother!

But if there is any emergency, just say that you did it yourself and it has nothing to do with the two children!

The couple looked at each other, confirming their mutual agreement.

Wu's eyes flickered when she saw the visitor.

But Zhang Jie jumped up: "Look, you still said that you didn't harm your father! He belongs to your adoptive father's family! That day, my father had dinner at Huo's house, got very drunk, and fell asleep when he came back. The next day

I can’t get up! And they said it wasn’t you who caused this! Your Highness, you have to make the decision for my mother!”

Zhang Biyao comforted her younger brother: "When it comes to right and wrong, His Royal Highness will deal with it impartially and will definitely give justice to my mother."

Zhang Jie was comforted and sat on a chair, looking at Huo Xi and Huo Nian with fire in his eyes, his eyes almost ate them up.

Of course it must be dealt with fairly, otherwise I won't even agree.

Huo Xi glanced at Wu and Zhang Jie.

Both the servant girl of the Wu family and the mother-in-law of the Wu family courtyard were so arrogant that they couldn't even speak clearly.

Although the maid in the tea room of the Duke's Mansion was a little nervous, she still told the truth about what happened that day...

"That day, I was waiting in the tea room as usual. It was the magistrate who came to tell me that the Duke of Guo was going to have a banquet outside. He asked me to prepare hangover tea in case the Duke of Guo sobered up, and some chrysanthemum tea, just in case.

I drank too much wine and had a headache and couldn't sleep. Chrysanthemum tea happened to relieve fatigue and help me sleep, so I prepared as I was told."

When Zhishu heard that there was something about her, he banged his head on the floor tile again.

"Yes, it was my slave's order. I didn't know where the Duke of Guo was going to have a banquet that day. Madam Ren brought the deed to the slave and chatted with her about the daily life. She mentioned that the Duke of Guo had gone to Huo's house to have a banquet. The slave wanted to

The Duke was afraid that he would drink too much, so he ordered the tea room to prepare sobering tea. He also remembered that chrysanthemums can also help sleep, so he asked the tea room to prepare some."

Mrs. Ren pretended to be unjust and kept shouting: "It's unfair. I just said that the Duke of the State was out drinking and didn't say anything else." She kowtowed with bang bang.

As for the Wu family's neighbor, Mrs. Qi, she didn't expect her to be involved.

She just wanted her son to sell more mutton: "Sir, please forgive me, I haven't done anything."

Calling her to the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Qi almost peeed out of fright.

Ever since Mrs. Qi found out that the Wu family, her neighbor across the street, was a relative of the Duke of Guo's family, she would visit her every now and then to build relationships.

She had a son who opened several butcher shops in the capital. There was no beef these days. Pork sold well among ordinary people, and the nobles in the capital even liked to eat mutton.

Zhang Fubian likes to eat mutton very much, and he especially likes to eat sheep's hooves.

After all, I grew up in the north when I was a child. My parents and ancestors also worked as servants for the Mongolian people. I always like to eat mutton and chew sheep's hooves.

After Mrs. Qi established a relationship with the Wu family, the business of her son's butcher shop improved a lot, and she even opened an additional shop.

That day, the maid of the Wu family revealed to her that the British Guild had dinner at the Huo family. She also said that the Huo family might not know the Duke's taste, and if the food was not as good as what he wanted, it would be better to invite the Duke to the Wu family for dinner.

It has been a long time since the Duke of Guo came to the Wu family for dinner.

Mrs. Qi heard this and thought about asking her son to sell more mutton, so she ran to the door of the Huo family and wandered around. Unexpectedly, she met a servant of the Huo family who came out to buy.

After listening to her words, Mao Er thought that the Duke of Guo was going to come home for dinner, and of course he had to eat well and to suit his taste, so he bought a lot of sheep's hooves at the butcher shop of Mrs. Qi's son...

There is no problem with the spices added with cypress seeds, there is no problem with the chrysanthemum, and there is no problem with the sheep's hoof. But together, there is a big problem.

The prince didn't say anything after hearing this. There were more ruthless methods in the palace, which were nothing compared to this.

But everyone present was dumbfounded.

There is no problem with this, and there is no problem with that, but why do they come together to cause such a big problem?

And it can also knock people unconscious and kill them!

"Wu! I didn't expect you to do such a thing to the Duke!" The wife was furious. If the prince hadn't been here, she would have stepped forward and slapped her hard.

Back then, she didn't help her niece, but she helped the Wu family. But she didn't expect that the Wu family was so bold that she dared to harm her son!

Everyone in the Zhang clan looked at the Wu clan. Do they want to keep such a vicious woman in the clan?

They have the same heart as snakes and scorpions. They dare to attack the lover they share the same bed with!

Is the heart black?

Several clan elders and clan members spoke out one after another, wanting to exterminate the Wu clan and deal with them according to clan rules. Zhang Biyao and Zhang Jie were also stunned. They wanted to say a few words for the Wu clan, but the facts were before their eyes.

Mrs. Wu cried again, got up, staggered to the prince, and knocked her head heavily on the bricks.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you have to make the decision for me! With the blue sky and clear sky, is there any natural justice and national law? I have never meant to harm others, but someone wants to kill me. I am really unjust!"

After crying for a few times, he knelt down to Dr. Jiang and said, "Mr. Jiang, in the hospital, you are recognized as having good medical skills and a benevolent heart. Please tell everyone, will this add too much Bai Ziren spice?

Will it make people unconscious if they eat chrysanthemum tea, even if they also eat sheep's hooves, and will it harm others?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Imperial Physician Jiang again.

"Mr. Jiang, do you think these kinds of things can harm people's lives if they are put together?" His Royal Highness was also very curious.

Doctor Jiang glanced at Huo Xi, feeling shocked and confused. This young lady didn't seem to be such a stupid person.

He narrowed his eyes and cupped his hands and said: "Back to Your Highness, Bai Ziren, chrysanthemums, and sheep's hooves are all cold things. If they are put together, they will increase the coldness, and the cold will add to the cold. They are mutually incompatible things and will cause physical discomfort and vomiting.

Dizziness, persistent diarrhea..."

"Could that cause someone to become unconscious and kill someone?"

Doctor Jiang paused and replied truthfully: "Not really."

The hall suddenly buzzed with whispers and discussions.

As if she had been greatly wronged, Mrs. Wu began to cry even louder: "Your Highness, you must make the decision for me!"
