The eldest lady nodded and took the medicine bowl, but before she had time to drink it, Hong Zhu, the maid on the side, suddenly rushed over and knocked the medicine bowl over.
The medicine bowl immediately fell to the ground, the medicinal soup in it spilled all over the floor, and the medicine bowl immediately shattered, leaving debris all over the floor.
The originally relaxed and happy atmosphere suddenly solidified.
The old lady's complexion suddenly changed. Even though she had cultivated herself for many years, she still could not accept that someone would lose the face of Dongning House in such an occasion. She suddenly said sternly: "You evil slave? What are you doing?
!”
After that, he glanced at the eldest lady coldly and said: "She is your subordinate, can't you even take good care of the maid next to you?!"
Beside, the second lady's lips curled up.
Although she didn't know what the maid was crazy about, the second lady felt happy as long as she saw the big room was in ruins.
However, the old lady glanced over again, looked at the second lady, and said: "I asked you to manage the house, and you managed it like this. You can't even discipline the servants. I'd better not take charge of the house in the future!"
The second lady was stunned.
What does this matter have to do with her? She only took over the general affairs of the house these two days, so why did she suffer such an unreasonable disaster?
The eldest lady's face was filled with anger, and she glared at Hongzhu: "You girl! Are you crazy?"
Hongzhu directly knelt down on the ground, grabbed the ground with her head, and cried loudly: "Madam, please forgive me! I didn't mean it, but I really can't watch my wife being poisoned by others. In this bowl of soup,
It’s poisonous!”
In a word, the shocking scene became even colder.
Only Shen Fengxu was always calm and calm. After hearing what Hongqu said, he didn't react at all, as if he didn't even hear it.
"What did you say?" The eldest lady's expression changed drastically.
Hongzhu knelt on the ground and choked with sobs: "I dare not talk nonsense. I am also thinking about the eldest lady. This soup has been poisoned by others. I am really scared."
"Since you said you were poisoned by someone else, how about you tell me clearly who was poisoned by someone?!" the eldest lady asked coldly.
"Yes, yes..." Hong Zhu said, turning his head to glance at Shen Fengxu uneasily, but did not say the rest of his words.
Although she didn't finish speaking, her gaze fell on Shen Fengxu.
What she didn't finish saying should be: It was the sixth girl, Shen Fengxu, who poisoned her.
Shen Yanning frowned, his face gloomy, with a coldness.
In front of so many people, if such a thing happened, where would the face of Dongning Bo Mansion be put?
After seeing Hong Zhu's performance, the eldest lady was shocked at first, then her face turned cold and she said: "This girl has committed an offense for no reason, drag her out and kill her with a stick!"
Although Hongzhu didn't speak just now, everyone else saw clearly that Hongzhu was looking in the direction of Shen Fengxu. She wanted to say it but never dared to say it. The eldest lady seemed to be trying to get rid of Shen Fengxu's charges, so
He wanted to kill Hongzhu with a stick, but if the eldest lady really dragged Hongzhu out and killed him with a stick, then Shen Fengxu's crime would be almost confirmed.
By that time, there is no room for justification.
So Shen Fengxu said: "Wait a minute! This girl hasn't finished speaking yet. Why is mother so eager to convict her? Let her finish speaking first."
The eldest lady sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just said: "This girl has bad intentions, what else is there to listen to her words?!"
Chen Fengxu did not answer, but glanced at Hongzhu lightly and said, "Tell me, who poisoned the soup? If you can't tell, your mother will kill you with a stick soon, but no one can I beg for mercy for you."
Hongzhu shrank and said, "Yes...it's Miss Six. It was Miss Six who ordered someone to poison the first lady's soup."
After Hongzhu finished speaking, she kowtowed heavily on the ground several times, even leaving a bright wound on her forehead, and cried loudly: "My servant dare not tell lies, please be more careful..."
The old lady's eyes flickered from Chen Fengxu to the eldest lady's face with hesitation. She was indeed old and no longer concerned with matters in the house, but she had been in the backyard of the house for so many years, and she still knew these methods well.
Shen Baitang was sitting on the side of the flower hall. When he heard this, he immediately stood up and said in a cold voice: "You may die if you slander the master of the house!"
Hongzhu's body trembled again: "I don't dare, I am telling the truth..."
Today is Shen Yulou's banquet. There are many distinguished guests in the flower hall. Hongzhu accuses Shen Fengxu in public like this. Even if Shen Fengxu can escape with luck, he will inevitably be discussed by others.
Chen Fengxu just smiled slightly and said: "You can't just rely on your words to prove that I really poisoned my mother's soup, right?"
"The sixth lady is responsible for the soups around Madam." Hongzhu said, "If Madam doesn't believe it, please ask the doctor to check and see if there is any poison in this bowl of soup."
The eldest lady frowned and said: "Today's banquet is not a good time to make things big, why not..."
But the old lady said sternly: "Check!"
Let's give it up? Even if we let it go, others will still talk about Dongning Bo Mansion and what happened today.
Rather than letting others make random guesses and causing rumors to spread, it is better to investigate the matter thoroughly and give everyone an explanation.
The eldest lady nodded and said to Hongqu beside her: "Go and ask the doctor."
Shen Fengxu glanced at the eldest lady in confusion and said: "My mother is really... leisurely and calm. Someone poisoned my mother, but my mother was neither angry nor afraid. Fengxu really admires her."
This matter was planned by the eldest lady, so the eldest lady was naturally calm.
But the old lady's eyes darkened slightly. If she was really poisoned by someone else, she would be frightened and angry no matter what. However, the eldest lady was so calm, as if she knew about it from the beginning.
The eldest lady took a deep look at Shen Fengxu and said, "That's because I believe Fengxu would not do such a thing."
Shen Fengxu smiled sweetly and said: "That's natural. My mother has always been kind and gentle. How could Feng Xu do such a thing? My mother has been seriously ill these past few days and my eldest sister has not even taken care of her. It's Fengxu who has to do it again." Mother is sick."
Shen Yulou looked up at Shen Fengxu in astonishment.
Shen Fengxu really knows how to use every opportunity!
"I also wanted to take care of my mother." Shen Yulou said softly, "It's just that because Sixth Sister is here, it's inconvenient for me to go."
"Look what the eldest sister said." Chen Fengxu smiled slightly and said, "When I fulfill my filial piety for my mother, can't the eldest sister also fulfill my filial piety for my mother? It's like I have taken the eldest sister's position."
