Early the next morning, Mu Qingyang took Hongjing out, saying that there was a problem with the goods at the dock and that they needed to be dealt with immediately.
Unexpectedly, not long after he left, something big happened in the house.
Liuxianju is where Mrs. Mu lives, and it is also the quietest courtyard in Mu Mansion. The old lady likes to be quiet, so there are not many servants coming and going from Liuxianju. However, Liuxianju is extremely busy on this day, and Bai Su's face is full of
Standing solemnly outside the house, with the door closed, the servants didn't know what happened, but they had a vague feeling that something might have happened to the old lady.
Lin was the first to receive the news. As soon as she heard about the situation in Liuxianju, she rushed over and anxiously stepped forward to ask Bai Su. However, Bai Su was always tight-lipped and just asked her to wait in the yard outside the door for a while.
, kept silent about the old lady’s condition.
"Aunt Bai Su, what happened to the old lady? Why are everyone outside, even aunt is outside the door?" Mrs. Lin frowned, as if she was really worried that something had happened and continued to ask,
"Now that the master is not in the house, if something happens to the old lady, I... I don't know how to explain to the master."
Bai Su, always cold, just glanced at her and asked lightly, "Do you really hope something happens to the old lady?"
After saying this, Mrs. Lin was choked and speechless, but with a ruthless look in her eyes, she turned around and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard.
In the Mu Mansion, apart from the master, Lin is half the mistress. No one will give her face and listen to her words. Even the arrogant and arrogant character of the eldest lady has been submissive by her. She didn't expect to follow me.
The lady next to her dared to look at her. Mrs. Lin secretly suppressed her temper, thinking that one day she would look good.
Xia's body was weak, and she had been lingering on the sickbed for several days since the old lady's birthday party. However, she also sent her personal maid Lianying to inquire about the situation. Bai Su also asked her to wait outside, and after a while, several other concubines
They all came over to show concern.
After a while, the door opened, and a maid came out with the doctor. Bai Su hurriedly greeted him. Doctor Liang was only forty or fifty years old, but his temples were already gray, and he was seen stroking his long beard.
He said, "Old madam, this is caused by improper use of medicine. I have already given the old lady an injection. Just boil a few doses of decoction to clear the intestines. But in the future, you must be more careful when using medicine, and you must not use those medicines that will conflict with each other."
Potion, if you hadn’t discovered it earlier today, the old lady might have been in danger of dying."
"Improper use of medicine? How is it possible? The old lady's medicine was cooked by Miss Bai herself. The old lady has been much better recently. How could something unexpected happen?" Before Bai Su could say anything, Lin stepped forward and asked the doctor,
"Please tell me, doctor, what kind of improper medication is this? Could it be that someone deliberately harmed the old lady?"
If Bai Su originally wanted to whitewash the peace, but now that Lin asked this in front of so many people, I am afraid this matter cannot be taken lightly. She sneered secretly. She originally wanted to follow the old lady's wishes and just sit on the sidelines, but now
It seems that Mr. Lin is trying to drag the old lady into trouble.
That's fine. Since she wants to make trouble, she might as well make things get out of hand and let her have a taste of what it means to harm others and yourself.
"Yes, Doctor Liang, I have always personally taken care of the old lady's medicine, so there can be no mistakes." Bai Su asked doubtfully, "The old lady was not feeling well a few days ago, but she has gotten much better recently."
Doctor Liang looked at Mrs. Lin and then at Bai Su, then stroked his beard and explained, "Originally, the old lady's body was indeed in good health, and the decoction used was only to strengthen the body and nourish the body, but I found that the old lady was in good health.
It seems that some extremely strong drugs were used today, which are incompatible with the drugs she is currently taking, which will lead to temporary coma."
"Go and get the medicine dregs that the old lady used today, and then bring the prescription prepared by the doctor before." Bai Su thought for a while, and then ordered the old lady's attendant to get the medicine dregs.
Mrs. Lin wanted to say that Bai Su should avoid suspicion, but after thinking about it, she decided not to offend her at this juncture. After all, the old lady's body was of great importance, and the master had always been filial. If he knew that the old lady was being assassinated in the mansion, he would definitely be in trouble.
To thunder and rage.
"I have sent people to the dock to find the master. The matter of poisoning the old lady is very serious. We must not let it go like this. Our Mu family will never let such a heartless thing happen." Mrs. Lin waited fiercely for Xiang.
The servant, who had already been kneeling on the ground, said angrily, "Tell me, are you poisoning the old lady? If you stand up on your own, there may be a way to survive. If you are unwilling to stand up, don't blame me for being cruel."
"Second Madam, you must be aware that all the servants have served in the house for many years and will never do such a thing."
"Yes, Second Madam, I will never harm the old lady."
"Yes, yes, although the slaves are servants of Liuxianju, they rarely go near the main house, and they only clean the yard."
Disturbing voices came from the crowd. Mrs. Lin pursed her lips and looked at Bai Su, "Sister Bai, what do you think of this matter? After all, you are the closest person to the old lady."
This was supposed to be a respectful inquiry, but Bai Su smelled something different from Lin's words, as if he was warning her not to get into trouble, and also reminding her that she was serving me closely.
My dear, if something happens to the old lady now, no matter who is responsible, she is also to blame. If she is a smart person, she should protect herself wisely.
"Although the old lady is fine now, I think that because the master attaches great importance to the old lady, I will definitely investigate it carefully. Besides, this is the Mu Mansion after all, and the second lady is the one in charge of the affairs in the backyard. Naturally, the second lady should do it.
Investigation, this slave is just a rough woman, how can she know these things." Bai Su lowered her head slightly, her appearance could not be called submissive, but it could be regarded as answering Lin's hint that she would not get involved in this matter.
Mrs. Lin smiled faintly, "I have long heard that the old lady dotes on Miss Bai, and now it seems that it is because Miss Bai understands the truth. The master has handed over the affairs of the house to me. Now that such a big thing has happened, I will inevitably die.
We must investigate clearly and we will never tolerate people with such ulterior motives in our Mu Mansion."
At this moment, Ning Xiang came over and said, "Second Madam, the doctor has already seen the dregs of the medicine, and said that it contains orchid grass, which conflicts with the medicine that the old lady has been using these days.
.And this orchid grass does come from the Mu Mansion. The eldest lady, Dr. Sunset Lake’s prescription a few days ago, contained orchid grass, and the third lady’s medicine also contained orchid grass as the wind and cold had not subsided these past few days.”
Bai Su raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Lin's fire was really well-aimed. It seemed that the old lady was right. Yesterday, the old lady was just trying to attract people. Today, Lin is anxious. She really can't calm down.
