Chapter 207 Persecution (5)
Yuxi felt that to be on the safe side, she should talk to Doctor Bai first. A doctor helped to testify, which is more credible.
Sister Quan said: "Girl, this matter requires the cooperation of the eldest lady. Doctor Bai will cooperate only if the lady speaks." Although Yuxi has a high status in the mansion, her words are not as important as Qiu's. If the Qiu family doesn't speak, Dr. Yu Xibai alone may not be able to cooperate.
Yuxi nodded and said: "Then you will tell mother about this tomorrow." Qiu Shi is not good at disguising, if you tell her now, you may be exposed when the incident happens.
Sister Quan reminded Yu Xi, saying: "Girl, once you retire, you may not be able to marry in this life. And if you don't withdraw, as long as you are careful, there is a high possibility that you will pass this hurdle." As Han Jianming was worried about before, who would dare to marry when the time comes when he bears the reputation of bad luck?
Yuxi raised her head, looked at the blue sky outside through the window, and said, "Nurse, I can't gamble with my life, once I lose the bet, there will be no chance to start again, and as long as I live, there will always be hopefully."
Sister Quan reminded Yuxi that she hoped that she would not regret it, and nodded when she heard Yuxi's words: "It's good that the girl can think so. The girl is only sixteen years old now, and there is still a long way to go in the future." With Yuxi's talents and learning, go No matter where you go.
At noon the next day, as soon as Qiu put down the bowl after eating, she heard noises outside. Qiu Shi felt bad at the moment, so she immediately stood up and left the room.
When we got to the yard, we saw two maids supporting Zisu. Seeing Qiu's face full of tears, Zisu choked up and said, "Ma'am, my girl suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground while eating. The nanny said that the girl was poisoned. Ma'am, someone poisoned the girl's food." Right now, Mother Quan is inducing vomiting, and I don’t know if she is alive or dead.” When she was in the palace before, the girl went to get something from the princess, but she was carried back unconscious by Zijin, and the murderer has not been found yet. Now eating a good meal at home can cause poisoning, Zisu is really frightened.
Yuxi pretended to be poisoned this time, except for Madam Quan, only Zijin knew about it. It's not that he was on guard against Zisu, but that if Zisu knew about it, he wouldn't act as realistic as he is now. Zijin, on the other hand, never talks much, just a cold face is enough.
Qiu Shi was stunned for three seconds, and immediately went to Tao Ranju after realizing it.
Mama Li was relatively calm, and asked Zisu, "Did you call for a doctor?" Seeing Zisu nodding, she hurriedly followed Qiu Shi.
When Qiu Shi arrived at Tao Ranju, Sister Quan was scratching Yu Xi's throat, making Yu Xi spit out everything she ate. Seeing Yuxi's tears falling one by one, Qiu's eyes turned red. But she knew that it was a critical moment, so she didn't dare to disturb Mammy Quan.
Seeing that Yu Xi had almost vomited, Quan Mammy began to drink mung bean soup. Mung bean soup has the effect of detoxification. Quan Mama poured a large bowl until Yu Xi's face turned blue before she stopped.
It wasn't until Sister Quan let go of Yuxi that Qiu rushed forward, hugged Yuxi and cried, "Sister Quan, what's going on? How can there be poison in good food?"
Sister Quan asked all the other maids to go out, leaving only a few confidantes in the room to take care of her, and then she said to Qiu Shi: "Madam, the girl has no choice but to use such a bad strategy." After finishing speaking, she told Yuxi the truth.
There is no way, in order to be realistic, Yuxi has to suffer some hardships, so that Concubine Song and the Chen family can believe her.
After hearing this, Qiu Shi was so angry that his teeth chattered. Mama Li also had a look of disbelief: "Just because Princess Qinxin fell in love with Second Master Chen, you want to kill my fourth daughter?" There are such unreasonable things in the world.
Sister Quan added: "The main reason is that the Chen family does not withdraw their marriage, so Concubine Song feels that the girl is a stumbling block, and she feels that if the girl is removed from the Chen family, there will be no excuse for not accepting the Lord.
"
Qiushi hugged Yuxi and cried: "My son, you are killing your mother!"
Sister Quan reminded Qiu Shi in a low voice: "Madam, the girl is really unconscious, she is not pretending." Yuxi just ate something unclean, but it is not poisonous, but it will cause a stomachache. It will be fine if you vomit it out, and there will be no sequelae, but you have suffered a lot.
After hearing this, Qiu quickly released Yuxi: "Didn't you say that there is no poison in the food? How could Yuxi faint?"
Sister Quan smiled wryly and said, "For the sake of authenticity, the girl hasn't eaten or slept since last night. After such a toss just now, the girl was exhausted, so she passed out." This method is considered the most gentle. , After all, it’s only two meals hungry and one night without sleep, so it will be fine if you nourish it.
Qiushi burst into tears, feeling distressed and complaining, and said: "This child is so stupid, how can you not tell me about this kind of thing?"
Mother Quan comforted and said, "Miss is afraid that Madam will be worried, so I dare not tell you." The main reason is that it is useless to tell Qiu Shi, and in the end, the girl has to find a way to solve it herself. So, it's better not to say anything, to save one more person from worrying.
When Qiu heard this, she felt her heart, liver and lungs hurting: "This child, why are there so many disasters?" When I was young, things went wrong, and I finally adopted her under her name for two comfortable days. As a result, such a thing happened again when married.
Mother Li also felt that Yuxi was very unlucky. It was nothing more than being taken a fancy to by the princess as her fiancé, and she was murdered one after another. But the other party was Concubine Song, the biological mother of the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince, so she couldn't avenge this revenge even if she wanted to.
Sister Quan said: "Ma'am, Dr. Bai will be here soon. I will ask Madam to tell Dr. Bai later, so that Dr. Bai can tell you that the girl was poisoned. But because I handled it properly, it won't hurt my life." But it will take a year and a half to recover."
Qiu Shi nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll tell Doctor Bai when he comes."
Doctor Bai didn't quite understand why Qiu Shi did this, he hesitated and said: "Ma'am, the girl is going to get married in a few days? If my words get out, there might be troubles in this marriage?"
Qiu smiled wryly and said: "Doctor Bai, you are also an old man in our family, and I will not hide it from you. If Sister Quan hadn't searched out the poison by accident, my Yuxi would probably be gone by now, so please return me." Doctor Bai can help with this."
Doctor Bai's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked at Yu Xi who was lying unconscious on the bed with a pale face, his heart softened, and he agreed to Qiu Shi's request.
Sister Quan immediately gave Doctor Bai the poison handed in by Aunt Guo, and said, "Doctor, take a look at what kind of poison this is." It must be based on this poison to prescribe the antidote prescription, Mrs. Hu must prescribe the prescription It will be known to those who have been following the movement of the Duke's Mansion.
Doctor Bai studied the poison carefully, and said after a while, "Fortunately, this poison is not a blood-sealed throat, but an ordinary poison. As long as you induce vomiting in time, it is still possible to save it." The meaning of Doctor Bai's words Yes, if you see the poison that seals the throat with blood, the gods can't save it, even if you ask him to fake it, it's useless.
Sister Quan had already experimented with this poison yesterday, and she knew what it was poisonous, so she used this method: "Then I will trouble Dr. Bai."
Doctor Bai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you a prescription for detoxification."
After the prescription was prescribed, Madam Quan immediately ordered someone to fetch the medicine. When Dr. Bai walked away with the medicine box on his back, he said: "Madam, if someone asks, I will tell the public that the fourth girl ate unclean food. How about this?" It sounds good, but when it comes to eating unclean things, people who don't know will think that Yu Xi is very unlucky, but those who are interested will naturally know that Yu Xi is poisoned.
Sister Quan felt that Doctor Bai was very appropriate, and said, "When people ask you, you just say so. If someone persecutes you, you tell the truth."
What Qiu Shi cares most about now is whether Yuxi will be hindered by this. Hearing that Yuxi was fine, although she was sad, she still didn't have any worries about her life: "Please trouble Dr. Bai."
Doctor Bai only said one sentence: "A doctor is a parent."
After seeing off Doctor Bai, Mother Quan and Qiu Shi said, "Ma'am, other than the Duke, no one else can tell about this matter, including the old lady. Otherwise, if Concubine Song knows that the girl is pretending to be poisoned, she will still tell me about it." I don't know what method I will use to deal with the girl?" Madam Quan deliberately said this because she was worried that Mrs. Qiu would tell the old lady the truth about this matter.
Qiu took the handkerchief, wiped away her tears and said, "Don't worry, I will tell the old lady that Yuxi has been poisoned when she asks, and I won't tell her anything else. Also, when her elder brother comes back , I will let her elder brother go to the Chen family to retire."
Mother Li said with some concern: "Ma'am, if you withdraw, the girl's reputation as a bad luck will be confirmed." Up to now, Mother Li really doubts whether the fourth girl is really a bad luck? Otherwise, how could it be so unlucky. Of course, Mother Li didn't doubt that Yu Xi would bring down others. After all, for so many years, the masters of Dafang have all been smooth sailing.
Qiu didn't think too much about it, and after hearing Mama Li's words, she said, "Even if the rumors of bad luck are confirmed, it's better than dying in vain. If no one dares to marry her, I'll raise her for the rest of my life. My dowry Enough for Yuxi to live comfortably for the rest of her life."
Sister Quan was a little moved when she heard this, no wonder Yu Xi was so sincere to Qiu Shi, such a person really deserves to be treated with sincerity.
The fact that Yuxi ate unclean things spread quickly. The old lady felt that something was wrong, Aunt Guo was an old man who had been with Yuxi for so many years, how could she let Yuxi eat something unclean: "Go and call the lady over here." There is something strange about this matter.
When Qiu arrived at the Upper Court, she cried and said to the old lady: "That child has eaten something unclean, it's because someone poisoned her food."
The old lady paused while holding the hand of the Buddhist beads, and asked: "What's going on? Who poisoned Yuxi? Why did they poison?"
Thinking of Yuxi's crimes, Qiu's tears came again: "I've already been interrogated, it was the poison of Cook Guo. The gangster arrested her son and threatened her that if she didn't poison Yuxi's food, and killed her son."
A sharp light flashed in the old lady's eyes, and she asked, "Have you found out who is behind the scenes?" Who would act so boldly.
Qiu was silent for a while, and then told the old lady about Yuxi's almost murder in the palace: "At that time, Yuxi was afraid that I would be worried, so she didn't tell me about it. I suspect that the two incidents came from the same personal hand."
The old lady almost dropped the Buddhist beads in her hand on the ground, but she quickly covered up her gaffe and said, "Take good care of Yuxi, and leave the rest to me!" This matter is not as simple as it seems .
Qiu said: "Mother, you are getting old, so let Jianming handle this matter? It is definitely not an ordinary person who can harm Yuxi in the palace."
The old lady nodded and said, "You are right, this matter will be handed over to Jianming."
