She hurriedly said: "My maid has remembered it! My maid cooked two portions of the bowl of lotus root and lotus soup. One was given to my aunt, and the other was for the eldest lady. But the eldest lady has no appetite and is still in the kitchen. The two portions are cooked together, and there is absolutely no peach kernel powder in that bowl of lotus root and lotus soup."
Aunt Zhao bit her lip and turned pale.
"Steward." Shen Yanning called, "Go and check."
Manager Li had followed Shen Yanning for decades, so he naturally understood Shen Yanning's intentions and left immediately.
The eldest lady's cold voice came: "The lotus root and lotus soup was made by Chun Sheng before it was delivered. After it was delivered, no one except my aunt handled it. If there is no peach kernel powder in the bowl of lotus root and lotus soup..."
She paused for a moment and looked at Aunt Zhao.
"How could I have harmed my own child?" Aunt Zhao tightened the handkerchief in her hand and said loudly. After that, she stepped forward and grabbed Shen Yanning's hand, sobbing, "Master, someone must have done it on purpose." You want to harm my child, please let me know clearly and give you justice to me and my child!"
"Whether it was someone else's conspiracy or my aunt's own plot, I think she herself knows it well."
There was endless noise in his ears, and Shen Yanning felt like he had a splitting headache.
So he shook off Aunt Zhao's hand and said coldly: "The right and wrong will be known once you investigate!"
Aunt Zhao felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Ever since she was pregnant, Shen Yanning had followed her wishes in everything, and had never been so indifferent. If even Shen Yanning didn't trust her, what place would she have in this house?
Shen Fengxu stood aside and only looked at the scene in front of him.
She knew that Shen Yanning was a cold and heartless person. He had not cared about anyone for so many years. In his eyes, he only saw the interests of Dongning's house and no human feelings. Even Shen Yulou was just being treated by others. He had high hopes for it, and it was the result of his hard work.
If one day Shen Yulou loses value, Shen Yanning will abandon Shen Yulou without hesitation.
Not to mention Aunt Zhao.
It's just that Aunt Zhao is still pregnant with the child.
Not long after, the steward came in again and heard him say: "Sir, the doctor has checked it and there is indeed no peach kernel powder in that bowl of lotus root soup."
In other words, the lotus root soup was mixed with peach kernel powder after it was delivered to Aunt Zhao's courtyard, and Aunt Zhao was the only one who had the opportunity to do it.
Shen Yanning nodded slightly and turned to look at Aunt Zhao. Her gaze was extremely cold and fell on Aunt Zhao, making her feel as if she was in the cold winter wind. However, Shen Yanning did not say anything else, only looking at her. The maid next to her said: "Xingye, take good care of Aunt Zhao."
After saying that, he pulled the doctor over and said, "I just wronged you."
The eldest lady lowered her head slightly, looking very gentle and virtuous, but there was a sneer on her lips.
Aunt Zhao's little skills alone were still too immature. She had been whispering in Aunt Zhao's ears early in the morning, leading her step by step into the game she had set up.
The current situation was naturally planned by her.
"Let's go, let Aunt Zhao have a good rest." Shen Yanning said coldly, then pulled the eldest lady and left.
Aunt Zhao stretched out her hand, but couldn't even say a word. She just bit her lower lip and watched Shen Yanning and the eldest lady leave the yard, and finally even their backs gradually disappeared into the distance.
She was pregnant with the child, and although Shen Yanning would not punish her, he was already extremely disappointed in her.
The look in Shen Yanning's eyes just now was not only indifferent, but also filled with disappointment.
It was just because she was still pregnant with the child.
Despite this, she was not even given a chance to defend herself.
Chen Fengxu took a step forward and said softly: "Auntie, you should take good care of yourself. The most important thing is to be able to give birth to the child safely."
One sentence immediately reminded Aunt Zhao.
"Yes, as long as there are still children..."
There is still a chance for a comeback.
Aunt Zhao put her hands on her belly. Although she was only three months old, she had a slender figure and some bulges could already be seen vaguely.
Chen Fengxu let out a breath and said, "I think the brocade-leaf hibiscus in my aunt's room is very beautiful, but it's a pity that no one is taking care of it. If my aunt doesn't mind, why don't you let me take care of it?"
Aunt Zhao was stunned.
At this time, how could she remember the golden leaf hibiscus, but now that Shen Fengxu mentioned it, she said: "If you like it, girl, take it away."
"Thank you so much, auntie." Chen Fengxu turned to Cinsha and said, "Go and take that pot of brocade-leaf hibiscus with you."
Cinnabar went away in response.
Chen Fengxu comforted Aunt Zhao for a few more words, and then left with Dansha.
Until Shen Fengxu left, Aunt Zhao was still sitting on the couch in despair, but Shen Fengxu had no intention of caring about her anymore.
After returning to Rongxueyuan, Cinsha put the brocade leaf hibiscus aside.
She asked with some curiosity: "Girl, when did you become interested in these flowers and plants?"
Chen Fengxu fiddled with the flower branches and said, "Go get a flower hoe."
Cinsha went away in response and quickly brought the things. Chen Fengxu turned up the soil under the brocade leaves and hibiscus.
As expected, a small purse was unearthed from the soil. The purse was exquisitely embroidered, but it was covered with soil and bulging inside. I don't know what it was filled with.
Chen Fengxu was about to reach out to get it, but Cinsha said: "It's all covered with mud, let me do it."
So Dansha picked up the purse.
When he opened the purse, he saw four or five brightly colored bugs intertwined and squirming in it. Even though Cinnamon had always been brave, he couldn't help being frightened. The purse fell out of his hands and fell to the ground.
A few bugs crawled out of the purse.
Shen Fengxu had never seen a bug before, but she was no longer a little girl. Although she was a little frightened, she was not scared.
"This...?" Dan Sha was shocked and turned to look at Chen Fengxu, "Girl..."
"You said before that this brocade-leaf hibiscus was given to Aunt Zhao by Aunt Yun, right?"
Dansha nodded: "Yes, Xingye next to Aunt Zhao said it herself."
Chen Fengxu pondered for a moment and said, "Kill these bugs first."
She didn't know what these were, and they were not good things.
Dansha stepped forward and crushed the bug to death. Then she turned to look at Chen Fengxu, only to see that Shen Fengxu was still looking at Jin Ye Fusang in a trance.
"By the way, girl, the matter of Yonglefang..."
Chen Fengxu shook his head gently: "Let's wait a moment. Go and report to the old lady. Just say that Aunt Zhao is fine. There is no need to mention anything else."
"Yes, maid, go right away."
Thinking of what happened in Yonglefang last night, Shen Fengxu sighed again.
