Seeing Uncle Jiang's resignation with great gratitude, Jiang Yashuangfang turned to look at his wife: "Grandpa..."
"Fortunately, Lang'er is fine." Qiu Yilan said calmly, her eyes wandering, "However, the real culprit may not be investigated, but it must be known! Otherwise, who knows if they will attack again?"
It was about her son's life, and she was too lazy to pay attention to the promise she made to He Shuijin. "The reason why the Fourteenth Sister-in-law went to the Eighth Sister-in-law's dowry village and never came back was not an accident, she did it on purpose! The reason is Because her previous child was murdered by the He family, and this time she found out she was pregnant again, she was afraid of making the same mistake again, so she took advantage of her mother's stay in Beijing to take the initiative in the name of seeking justice for her eighth sister-in-law and An'er. Go check the accounts!”
Jiang Yashuang's pupils suddenly shrank: "Is there such a thing?!" He remembered the hiding behavior of Qiu Yilan and Su He when they were vacationing in the summer. He also tried it after that, but Qiu Yilan refused to say anything, thinking about other things. The relationship between the couple was hurt because of this, so there was no investigation—who would have thought that it would now be related to the murder of their beloved son
"If Lanlan had told me earlier, maybe..." When such thoughts came to his mind, he was really unhappy, but looking at his wife's haggard look, he suppressed his anger and said, "Go on!"
"You also know her temper. After suffering such a big loss, it's impossible not to take revenge! But He is not only her mother-in-law, but also her aunt! If it is revealed that she murdered her daughter-in-law and grandson, Uncle Qiao Cheng The dignity of the family is gone! How can she be willing to sacrifice the reputation of the He clan for the sake of He? Let’s start; I also want to trick Heshi!”
"Now that Lang'er is poisoned, even if you agree to pretend to be ignorant for the sake of my grandfather's health, as the mother-in-law of the house, if the child in the family is poisoned in the yard, she will not be able to escape the responsibility!"
Qiu Yilan's face was as dark as water, "I helped her before and after her miscarriage. The fourteenth sister-in-law begged me not to reveal it to anyone for the sake of our family's reputation, and I agreed. I didn't intend to break the promise, but she didn't It’s time to focus on our children!”
When she called the He family useless before, she actually thought of He Shuijin: The Jiang family's fortune began in the army, and it was impossible for their family members to live in the military camp, and the Duke of Qin and the Marquis of Jibei were born in poverty, and there was no one above them. You can only rely on your own hard work to get promoted - of course, there is no time to allocate to the family. Of course, the head mother of the Jiang family can only take care of everything inside and outside, and do everything by herself.
Even though the Duke of Qin later entered the dynasty, and only Jiang Tianchi of Jiang Tianyao's generation chose to join the army, the rules that had been followed for many years had not been changed. The men of the Jiang family have long been accustomed to not asking anything about the house unless something goes wrong, except for official business.
"But with the enemies the Jiang family has made over the years, the defense of the Duke's Mansion cannot be weak!" Although Qiu Yilan didn't see that when Qin Guogong came in before, the swing was discovered snooping, and the reaction speed of the Jiang family's guards was as fast as Although he has the ability to adapt to changes, he still remembers that in his early years, he climbed over the wall in the middle of the night before entering the Jiang family's courtyard, and met with Jiang Yashuang. Jiang Yashuang once mentioned that the guards of the courtyard were all elite soldiers who had been tempered by the Zhenbei Army. —That’s just another courtyard! What's more, this is an official government office
"These people are nominally under the control of the mistress of the house. In fact, even Mrs. Dou, who has the experience of serving in the army, how can she casually dictate in this regard? This is a matter of life and fortune. Can you not listen to the experts?"
"Now that my grandfather is still here, and he is in charge, even if the mistress of the house is unreliable, with the abilities of these people, no matter how desolate they are, they won't be touched by the swing and walked around and then left as if nothing happened! I didn't let her go on purpose! Who would believe the one who came in? The He family definitely doesn’t have the ability to let someone into the house rashly. Even if nothing happens, if he is found out, will the guards on duty still have something to gain? "
"It's not something that one or two guards can do to hide the truth from the top and bottom. And with so many guards working together, how can they win over in a year and a half? Not to mention He's lack of ability, she is also very capable. It's useless. She has only been in charge of the family for a few months? It may not be enough time to recognize the guards of the Hefu, let alone analyze who can win over and who cannot, which people are of little use after winning over, and who should be included. What method should we use to win over... In short, Heshi can't do this!"
Only He Shuijin took care of the accounts before entering. After entering, he took care of everything except the official business at the front - he had so much time and opportunity to win over the guards!
What's more: "Zhuqian said she had sneaked in three months ago. I calculated the time. It was around Lang'er's full moon, and then she sneaked into the house this time. I don't think these two times are coincidences, because It just happened to happen that something happened in our family. It's no secret that Mr. He is not good at managing the house. She usually has a hard time coping with it. When something happens at home, such as Lang'er's full moon, the death of her uncle, or when there are a lot of guests, something goes wrong. , who wouldn’t think that this is not caused by her lack of ability?”
Not only would this clear He Shuijin's suspicion, but the guards she had won over would also be able to blame most of the blame on He's blind command!
"I will send someone to Gyeonggi right now!" Jiang Yashuang's face was very ugly. "We have a child. Isn't the 14th sister-in-law also pregnant? I have no objection to her wanting to avenge her previous child. Anyway, that is The grudge between their three bedrooms! But if she dares to use our children as a trigger, it will be within her expectation that the swing will bring the antidote in time... "
He sneered, "Anyway, Sister-in-law Fourteen has never had a miscarriage before!"
An unborn child could not hurt Duke Qin's heart. After all, this was not the first time that Duke Qin had lost his great-grandson in infancy. Didn't the eldest son of a concubine who was raised by Jiang Yadan and run around the whole courtyard die just like that
At this time, dusk was approaching, and the couple's discussion came to an end. Tiredness surged up like a tide, and then they remembered that they had not had a drop of water for two days and one night.
After dinner in the flower hall, I tiptoed to see Jiang Jinglang. The Duke of Qin also slept here. The old man was curled up on the soft couch by the window, frowning in his sleep. Beside the couch was Uncle Jiang, who was napping. No matter how you look at her gray hair under the lamp, she looks down and out.
Seeing this scene, Qiu Yilan's heart softened, and the slight dissatisfaction and grievance in her chest couldn't help but dissipate. She hugged Aiko tightly and said, "Lang'er is fine!"
After seeing their son, they returned to the temporarily prepared residence. The couple didn't even have the energy to say anything more and fell asleep.
Although they were exhausted, they still cared about her, so early the next morning, the two of them got up and called someone in to help them wash themselves. At the same time, they asked, "How is Lang'er? Where is my grandfather?"
"Mr. Sun is fine!" Shen Shui handed over the hot handkerchief and whispered softly, "The old man woke up half an hour ago and called Dr. Lin to diagnose Mr. Sun. Dr. Lin said that Mr. Sun was fine. Next, the wet nurse There’s no need to take medicine anymore, just take some nourishing food.”
Qiu Yilan immediately said: "Go to my warehouse to get the best medicinal materials for the wet nurses and others!"
"The old man ordered the public accountants to use the best." Shen Shui said, "Also, since the afternoon yesterday, people from the Hou Mansion have been sending people over to inquire, and things have been sent to each room."
"Keep it and tell me later." Qiu Yilan has no intention of caring about worldly affairs right now. Her son's complete recovery is the top priority!
After the two people packed up hastily, they were about to rush to see their son when Uncle Jiang came: "Young Master, young madam, we have found the cause of Mr. Sun's poisoning!"
"What?" Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yilan, who were drinking tea and gargling, both stood up and asked in unison, "Where is the poison?" How pitiful! The yard where they lived was demolished, but no poisonous place was found! When Jiang Yashuang promised Nian that her beloved son had turned the corner and pretended to be ignorant this time for the sake of Duke Qin, Qiu Yilan was unhappy because she couldn't find the source of the poison. It was a very important reason: even the child was poisoned. I don’t know, if the person who did it comes again, who can guarantee that the swing will be able to deliver the antidote in time
Yes, the couple suspected that He Shuijin was using it to deal with He Shi, so they borrowed Jiang Jinglang's cover to use it. As long as He Shi fell into trouble this time, He Shuijin... How could He Shuijin be the third wife? Don't the people in the third room hope that something will happen to Jiang Jinglang? !
There is a blood feud like Jiang Yaqing between the third and fourth rooms, okay
Now that I heard that the cause of the poisoning has been found, how could the couple not be excited
"The wet nurse was the one who got the poison first..." Before Uncle Jiang could finish his words, Qiu Yilan screamed, "Could it be that Lang'er did it again?!"
Jiang Yashuang's face turned pale for a moment - biological flesh and blood is of course a father's favorite thing, but he still remembered Qiu Yilan's words that "childbirth and childbirth are difficult" before, and he never expected to have biological flesh and blood in this life to have a legitimate son. , he never thought that he could continue to have children, so one can imagine the importance he attaches to Jiang Jinglang!
In Jiang Yashuang's heart, Jiang Jinglang was an unexpected surprise. If he lost it, he might never have it again in this life! What people fear most is gaining and losing. If he hadn't still held on to the slightest hope, he would have just wanted to push Uncle Jiang away and rush to see his son!
Uncle Jiang knew their mood and said quickly: "Young master, young lady, don't worry! Mr. Sun is fine now - Dr. Lin wanted to detoxify Mr. Sun before, but he didn't prescribe many prescriptions, because Mr. Sun's original wet nurse couldn't drink it. , so they found some other wet nurses? Later, when the antidote was brought, they were afraid that Mr. Sun’s original wet nurse still had the residue of the medicine he drank before, which would not be good for Mr. Sun, so he found two more wet nurses from outside the house. Come on—from yesterday to now, Mr. Sun has been fed by these two wet nurses!”
The couple finally breathed out, and then asked for confirmation: "Is Lang'er really okay?"
"When the old slave came over, the old master was hugging Mr. Sun and teasing him. Mr. Sun pulled the old master's beard and wouldn't let go. It was so painful that the old master repeatedly begged for mercy!"
"This child is really naughty - Shen Shui, go and have a look. Don't let him hurt his grandfather!" Qiu Yilan just didn't dare to believe Jiang Bo completely. He had to let his confidants see him - Jiang Bo also She didn't feel dissatisfied, and just said: "The reason why wet nurses are poisoned is that in order to stimulate lactation and replenish their bodies, they stewed elbows every day, but there is no or almost no salt in the elbows. After eating them for a long time, they will naturally feel tired. ”
Of course Qiu Yilan knew what her son's wet nurse ate every day, so she asked at this moment: "Is there something wrong with the elbow?" Her face was very ugly. The wet nurse ate the elbow was made by Li's mother. There were only a few people in the kitchen, and they were all her dowry. …
"No, no!" Fortunately, Uncle Jiang shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with the elbows. The problem is with the candied fruits. Because the wet nurses eat too much of the bland elbows and get tired, so I give them a few candied fruits to try every day."
"Those candied fruits are all bought by our own yard. Although we buy them from the same store every time, they are always served on silver platters after buying them. If there is a problem, why don't those silver platters respond?" Jiang Yashuang frowned, "Is there still a traitor?"
It stands to reason that the person who can still serve them at this moment must be a confidant who is not suspected, but Su He and Xia Ran were immediately solemn, holding their breath and not daring to breathe!
"A silver plate or a silver needle can only test the outer layer of the candied fruit. How do you know that the core of the candied fruit has been tampered with?" Jiang Bo smiled bitterly, "Those apricots and peaches are all with cores. The ones before Mr. Sun The wet nurse was not born in our family, but was hired from outside. When she was at home, she was used to being poor. Every time she ate the candied fruit, she would break open the core and eat the kernel inside. This is what happened! "
"...!!!" Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yilan looked at each other, wanting to vomit blood!
It was the two of them's idea to find a wet nurse with an innocent net worth from the public. This was because the fourth house was not the eldest son and had never been the head of the house, so they were afraid of being tricked by the third house who had always been the head of the house! As a result, although the wet nurses in the market are honest, they are still poor!
"Then the person who tampered with the candied fruit core was found out?"
