"Did that person work as an errand in the house before? Why does he look so unfamiliar?"
The old lady was also a little farther away. She didn't see clearly Gu Qiang who was standing next to Su Jin at the moment. She just felt a little curious. Su Jin was usually very popular in the house, except for the maids under him. In addition, no one else wanted to pay attention to her at all. Recently, a strange face appeared around her, and the old woman felt strange.
"Returning to the old lady, this is the doctor that Madam Su found. He said he can...can cure madam's disease."
"When did there be a Mrs. Su in this house?" The old lady frowned, "After the death of the principal wife, she has never been upright again. When will it be her turn to be the wife?"
"Yes, this slave made a mistake. He is the master of the sixth room."
"What's wrong with you again? Instead of seeing a doctor, you want to see a young girl. What can you tell? What is this girl's background?"
"It is said that the owner of the sixth house found him on the street. He is young but has great abilities."
"What's wrong with Mrs. Su? Can she be cured by just finding a little girl on the street?" The old lady happened to go out for a walk and saw a happy Su Jin. , there was a little girl following behind him, so he couldn't help but ask the people around him, and then he realized that Su Jin had done such a thing.
The old lady couldn't stand it, but it was rare for the Su family to have some quiet days. If nothing happened and she just stayed there, she couldn't find anything wrong with her, except for the period before the princess came in. , Never let anything happen again at home.
"Little girl, what's your name? And how on earth do you know what I'm worried about?"
"The name is not very important, madam. The most important thing for the madam now is how to prevent the marriage between the master and the princess. The master has a lot of troops in the capital, even if he does not marry the princess, The emperor does not dare to do anything to him, but if he marries the princess, there may be no place for his wife in the Shangshu Mansion. "
If it weren't for the princess's incident, Su Jin wouldn't be so gloomy. He took two pairs of cooling and fire-removing medicines from his brother's hands. They were both things he had taken and were very familiar with, so he just took them. There is no scruple. The most important thing now is not to relieve Su Jin's anger, but what to do to completely resolve this matter.
After hearing this, Su Jin's eyes lit up. The master had always favored him and would not even go to the other old women in the house. However, he just couldn't live up to his expectations and could not give birth to a son and a half. Even if a woman is favored in the house, it is only temporary.
"Then you should tell me how to deal with this matter. You can't just tell the master that you refuse the marriage, right?"
Although Su Jin is willful, he is not so stupid. You must know that offending the emperor may not lead to a good outcome.
"Of course it's impossible for Madam to do it alone. However, Madam is not the only woman in this house. If it's not convenient for Madam to do something, it's better to leave it to other sisters."
Gu Qiang knew that Su Jin was a clever person. If she didn't let her taste some sweetness first, it would be impossible for her to completely believe in him, so Gu Qiang decided to help her first and make other women in the house look embarrassed.
"Really? Then tell me what you want to do?"
In order to facilitate the handling of matters here, Gu Qiang had already investigated all the women in the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of War. Except for an old lady with a good reputation, the others were not from well-known families. The deceased first wife was a lady from an official family, and most of the people around her were also from merchant families.
After the death of the principal wife, Mrs. Liu, the second wife, has been helping to deal with all matters in the Shangshu's house. In the eyes of the old lady, Mrs. Liu has always been a dedicated and honest woman. If it hadn't been for the marriage granted by the emperor, it wouldn't be long before Mrs. Liu would have become the mistress of the Shangshu Mansion.
The concubines in the other rooms seemed to be doing their jobs honestly. Apart from fighting each other every day and thinking about how to compete for Liu Chu's favor, they didn't seem to do much else. However, Gu Qiang did find out one thing clearly. , this Liu family seems to have gone to a drug store outside to prepare some medicine. The medicine has extremely cold properties, and I don’t know what it is used for.
Each of Liu Chu's children was very sick. Gu Qiang didn't have any medical skills. Although he couldn't see what was wrong with them, compared to normal people, they could see It really doesn't look like Liu Chu's child who is still very healthy in his fifties.
Gu Qiang was indeed a little suspicious, so the person who took the lead must be Liu.
Naturally, she couldn't do such a thing as cheating, not to mention that she had already been exposed in the house of the Minister of War. Mrs. Liu has always been rigorous in doing things. She must be familiar to not only her, but even the servants around her. Just yourself.
"If you don't mind, madam, I can also ask one of my friends to help. But on how to do it, madam, please listen to me and don't leak our plan elsewhere."
If Gu Qiang guessed correctly, the extremely cold medicine Liu bought must have been fed to several other ladies in the Shangshu's house. If this medicine is taken for a long time, it may be difficult to give birth to children. Even if you force yourself to get pregnant and risk your life to give birth to a child, the child's body will definitely not be healthy.
I had seen this kind of thing a lot in the palace, but those princes who were in poor health probably couldn't withstand the intrigues in the palace, and they died soon after. On the contrary, in this Shangshu Mansion, the child Now that they have been born, no one will dare to attack them.
After all, the number of people in Shangshu Mansion is far less than that of the imperial palace. The people in the palace are multi-minded and easy to attack. Besides, no matter what, there is still an old lady in Shangshu Mansion. She is the master of the house. How can she What about letting people act recklessly
"That's for sure. After all, I won't reveal anything about me. But what are you going to do?"
"Madam, please don't mention this matter for now. Madam, please tell the girl first, did Madam Liu from the second room give you any medicinal materials? Or any other food."
If you want to find a breakthrough, you must first look for it from Su Jin. Although Su Jin entered the Shangshu Mansion at a young age, he was also a cleaning servant in the past, and he must have seen no less things than himself.
Su Jin hesitated for a moment, "Yes, there is. It seems that a box of cordyceps was sent to me before, but that kind of thing cannot be faked. Is there any problem?"
"Madam, can you bring the box of Cordyceps that you collected and show it to the girl?"
Of course, Gu Qiang couldn't see any evil moths, but he was going to take this thing back and show it to his brother. If there was really something wrong with the Cordyceps, his brother would definitely be able to tell it at a glance.
"Xiaoyu, go get the box of cordyceps given to me by the second lady."
Yu Yu honestly took the Cordyceps over, his face didn't look very good, "Master, the color of this Cordyceps doesn't seem to be very good..."
As soon as the box was opened, Gu Qiang could see that the cordyceps inside the box had obviously been touched. However, Gu Qiang didn't know what the problem was, but Gu Qiang had seen the cordyceps stored in her brother's room. The color is definitely not like this. Even if it has been left for a few days, it will never be this color.
Seeing the girl in front of her frowning, Su Jin began to mutter a little, "This Cordyceps is a good thing. I haven't seen it often, so when I received it, I had indeed eaten some. Could it be that there is something in it?" Any questions?"
"Do you have any questions? I can't answer Madam yet. Can I take some of this back and take a look? Even if it is a precious medicinal material, it is difficult for me to see what is wrong with it for a while."
But if there is indeed something wrong with this medicine, it seems that Mrs. Liu, the second wife, is also a ruthless character. The other ladies in the house should have already done this trick. Otherwise, Liu Chu’s children will not All so weak.
"If you need it, you can just take it away. This thing also tastes weird, and I haven't eaten it much since."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Gu Qiang paid attention to her words. If there was something wrong with the cordyceps, it was possible that Su Jin had not been pregnant for so long after eating them. However, although the cordyceps in the box had been moved It passed, but it really didn’t move much. Is there really no problem in this cordyceps
"Madam, did the Second Madam give you anything else? Or something that has already been eaten."
Su Jin has been in the house for more than half a year. Although he and the second lady don't get along well, after all, the second lady has to act like the matron of the house and be kind to everyone, so she will give herself some gifts from time to time. Sometimes I might just eat something without paying attention, and now I can’t think of it even if I let myself think about it.
"What? Is there something wrong?"
"It's okay, madam, don't worry. I will take these things back and examine them carefully. If there are any problems, there will definitely be a solution."
"Come and take a look. This thing looks a little weird. Please help me see what's done on it."
Gu Qiang stayed in Su Jin's room for a whole day. In fact, Su Jin's body was not seriously injured, it was just a fire. After drinking the medicine he prepared, he became much more energetic.
