Chapter 17 The case is solved without a body, let’s make a bet
Yu Qiansi's eyes fell silent, but Yu Anning couldn't see Cuizhu's worry, so he revealed all the doubts in his heart.
After Cuizhu heard this, he continued: "Impossible, impossible."
He seemed to be frightened.
"Why is grandma so sure?"
Cuizhu was silent for a moment, then turned back to the house and brought the pulse case, and handed it to Yu Qiansi.
The words he spoke seemed to be a little weak: "This is the story of the old lady over the years. Although I have not learned the art of Qihuang, I understand some principles of the mutual regeneration and restraint of all things. For so many years, following the old lady, I have learned a lot.
She is taking good care of herself. Everything matches the case, so there can be no problem."
Mammy was definitely worried that her grandmother would have an accident because of her poor care. Yu Anning's eyes were full of tears and she quickly comforted her: "Mammy, don't blame yourself. This is definitely not your problem. It's just me."
I just want to know what happened. Even if it is all in vain, even if I am punished by my father and scolded for being unfilial, I am still willing to do so.
As long as the truth can be known.
Yu Qiansi carefully checked the pulse chart and looked at the dosage of medicine. The old lady's health has indeed been getting better and better since she moved into the Villa three years ago. The medical officer also mentioned many times that the old lady's sleep was also better than before.
Better.
"Where was the day of the accident?" Yu Qiansi asked calmly.
Cuizhu was still hesitant when he saw Yu Qiansi, so he explained the situation that day one by one.
"That day, there was nothing different at first."
That day, the sky was clear and the air was clear, which was a good weather for spring singing birds. If the old lady had eaten hot porridge as usual, she rested in the pavilion in the courtyard. The princess was reading for her beside her, and her grandfather and grandson looked at her.
The garden is full of spring and feels at ease.
In the afternoon, people came to the Hou Mansion. Xiao Zhang always liked to put on a show. Even if the old lady came to the Villa, she would come twice a month, showing her daughter-in-law's filial piety to the fullest, which made everyone in the capital sigh.
Her filial piety, naturally, also established the old lady's image as an "evil mother-in-law".
This time, Mrs. Zhang also brought her youngest son Yu Mu. For the sake of her grandson, the old lady allowed them to have a light meal.
The princess always hated her stepmother and did not go with them. But naturally, little Zhang would not miss the opportunity to act virtuous, and went to bring gifts after dinner to make the princess unhappy.
Yu Mu felt sleepy after eating and drinking enough, so he stayed in the old lady's courtyard to take a nap. But just after lunch break, the old lady who was with her grandson fainted. Cuizhu hurriedly called the doctor, but he was already dead.
It was too late. The old lady didn't have time to leave a word before she left.
Yu Qiansi quickly ran through all the situations in his mind, and they all corresponded to the pulse case. In this way, the possibility of the old lady being poisoned was unlikely.
Yu Anning's voice was gloomy and she said: "At first, I also suspected poisoning. But as soon as my grandmother's usual doctor received the news, he arrived. After checking the food that day, there was nothing abnormal. At my strong request,
Doctor Sun also took a needle test, and there was no sign of poisoning on the grandmother's body. What's more, Grandma Cuizhu's mother came out of the palace with her grandmother. She has learned a good craft since she was a child and is very good at making things for the house. On weekdays, Grandma
All the food I eat goes through her hands before it can be given to my grandmother."
Yu Qiansi didn't know much about the affairs of the harem, but Boyi understood what she meant.
In fact, the dispute over the back house is no less than that over the court. Some underhanded methods can kill people invisibly by using food and clothing.
But if the old lady has people who are good at this, she will not make any mistakes.
"Can you keep this pulse case with me for now?"
Yu Anning's comfort seemed to have no effect. Cuizhu was in a daze at the moment, as if he had exhausted all his strength. He even forgot to salute and only nodded in agreement.
Yu Qiansi put away the pulse case and said: "It's getting late. If we don't leave, I'm afraid the Marquis will also come looking for us."
Sure enough, Boyi saw the figure of a young man in green clothes passing by outside the courtyard gate.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time.
After the three of them finished offering incense, Yu Anning was worried about Cuizhu's body and insisted on sending her back to her room to feel at ease.
Yu Qiansi and Boyi, under the guidance of the little maid, went to the hidden garden where the fire broke out.
Boyi stared at the path in front of him, as if it was a lifetime ago. When he walked this path the day before yesterday, the night was hazy, and his mood was completely different.
"Your nose is very sharp."
Boyi came to his senses and had nothing to do.
Yu Qiansi asked softly: "If you smell the smell you just mentioned, will you still remember it?"
"Maybe." Boyi subconsciously lifted a hidden scar at the end of his eyebrow. This was his usual action when thinking.
"The taste is really unique, so even if there is only a faint trace, it is still impossible to ignore."
Yu Qiansi said "Huh", and the two of them meandered along the gurgling stream in the small garden with their own thoughts.
Boyi turned to look at Yu Qiansi's indifferent expression, and couldn't help but ask: "This investigation is not an option. Do you want to find a way to do an autopsy?"
The corners of Yu Qiansi's eyes twitched. It was a cemetery for a wealthy family ordered by the imperial court. He thought it was some kind of tomb where rural people buried corpses casually. Could he dig it out as he asked and inspect it as he asked?
I couldn't help but make a strange noise and said: "I didn't know that Weiran Academy, besides gardening, also teaches students how to dig graves and graves?"
Boyi was annoyed, but he also knew that he had made a mistake. He turned his head and silently cursed: There is no body, let me see how you check it!
Since entering the garden, Yu Qiansi has been sizing up Boyi secretly. Compared with the old housekeeper, he is more concerned about the death of the old lady. He even rashly speaks out and offers incense to the old lady. Even the princess is not satisfied with this person who appears in her in the middle of the night.
The thief on the wall of the house also had a strange attitude, but the Marquis of Guang'an, the young Zhang family, and even the bamboos beside the old lady just now were all the same.
Who is this person's background?
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Believe it or not, I can find out the truth about the old lady's death without a body."
Boyi was noncommittal, but his dark eyes under his sharp eyebrows were full of jest, clearly showing disbelief.
Yu Qian caressed Yuli Qiankun and said excitedly: "Why don't you make a bet?"
"What to bet on?"
Although the words came out of his mouth, Boyi knew that he had no choice.
Believe it or not, if you want to find out the truth and clear away your grievances, you can only rely on the brazen woman in red in front of you.
The faint fragrance caressed the tip of his nose. Thinking of his unspeakable situation, he suddenly felt at a loss.
The doubts in Yu Qiansi's heart swirled on the tip of her tongue, and she swallowed it back. Boyi seemed heroic and reckless, but there were deep valleys inside that were difficult to explore. So he changed his explanation.
"The loser, promise the other party something. Don't worry, I won't break the law, and I won't make things difficult for you."
"What do you mean by making things difficult for me? You say it as if you are sure you can win."
After hearing the words, Boyi thought about it for a moment and felt that he would not suffer any loss, so he agreed.
They saw the stream suddenly change direction at their feet and submerged under the wall. After a few steps, a small channel flowing in the completely opposite direction came towards them.
"Huh?"
The end of this creek seems to be just ahead.
Yu Qiansi became playful, her eyes were full of surprise, her eyebrows were curved, and a tiny light flashed in her eyes, making the spring buds on the branches even more tender.
"Didn't you notice it last time you came here?"
Boyi unconsciously turned his head and let out an annoyed "hum", which was regarded as an answer to Yu Qiansi's question.
Yu Qiansi seemed to be suddenly enlightened, and patted his forehead as if he was shocked.
"Oh, I almost forgot. You came here as a thief last time. You didn't even have time to hide from people. How could you care about enjoying the scenery."
This sentence made Boyi clench his fists and his shoulders tremble slightly. This woman has a venomous mouth. Coupled with this extremely deceptive skin, it is really unbearable.
Just when he was about to retort, he suddenly came back to his senses when he saw the shining eyes.
Damn it! She's trying to trick me again!
He turned his head, said nothing, and took steps to distance himself from Yu Qiansi.
