"This medicine... why... why did it turn black?" Yu Dong stuttered, pointing at a place.
This place happened to be where the bowl broke into pieces. There were broken porcelain pieces and spilled medicine all over the floor, but there was a dark spot under the medicine, which was strange and unusual. It was especially noticeable on the bluestone brick floor.
“Is there something in this… is there something in this medicine? It will… will make the bricks… turn black. If this person drinks it…” Qu Moying was so shocked that he took a step back and held on to a pillar to stand firm. His face immediately turned ugly. He looked up at Luo and murmured, “Aunt… Aunt, there is something in this!”
By the end of this, these words had become extremely vague and light!
"What is that? How could there be something there? It's just medicine!" Luo also saw the black stain on the ground. She panicked and thought it was the ashes of incense that she had not boiled, so she said hurriedly.
She spoke too hastily and was too afraid of being discovered. This was a secret, and if someone discovered it, wouldn't the secret be leaked
I was panicking and my voice became louder unconsciously.
"Aunt, is there something else in here?" Qu Moying calmed down, pointed at the black mark on the ground, and continued to ask.
"What could happen? They are all traces of medicine. Medicine is originally this color. Okay, don't say anything more. This bowl is broken, so let's send the others to Xin girl quickly!" Although Luo was angry, she also knew that she couldn't argue about it anymore. After all, what was poured out was only a minority.
It may also be because this old woman is not someone close to Ying Yatou.
Didn't Master Jing'an say that Ying Yatou should be sent over? That means he must be the one who needs Ying Yatou. If it was someone else, it might not work. This was also a revelation from God to himself.
There is no point in dwelling on this now. The right thing to do is to let Ying deliver the things to Xin'er as soon as possible.
He calmed down his anger with all his strength, made himself look calmer, and then said, "Okay, okay, it's not a big deal, clean it up, Ying girl, go ahead, I'll take care of this!"
At this moment, she only wanted Qu Moying to leave. The way her anger subsided was inexplicable and also weird. This was something for her daughter to drink. Now that she had discovered these things, wasn't she afraid that something might happen to her daughter if she sent it over
The medicine for health care is not something special, and the Qu family can still afford it. Today, the eldest lady was very abnormal, so abnormal that it was scary.
"Wait a minute!" The lady finally came out and her face turned cold when she saw the scene in front of her.
"Mother, it's nothing serious. You go back and rest first. I'll pack up here and let Ying go." Luo turned around and looked at the lady almost pleadingly.
Now she just wanted to keep things peaceful and didn't want to punish anyone. She just wanted Qu Moying to deliver the medicine as soon as possible.
"Did you make this medicine yourself?" The lady turned to Luo and saw the anxiety on her face. Her expression became even colder. There was something wrong with that black stain no matter how you looked at it. How could Luo, who loved her daughter the most, not see it? How could she ignore it
“I… I… it’s mine, I endured all of it…” Luo said hurriedly, panicking.
"You watched it boil?" the lady continued to ask, frowning tightly.
"Yes, I watched him endure it because I was worried." Luo said.
"You didn't even leave when you left?" The lady's eyes turned cold. It was abnormal at this time. What was even more abnormal was that Luo
Damn it, he's still urging Ying girl to deliver the medicine.
She didn't doubt how Luo would treat Qu Xuexin. After all, she saw how good Luo was to Qu Xuexin.
"Mother… "
"Come in and talk first!" The lady turned around.
"Mother!" Luo cried out in pain, her emotions somewhat out of control.
"What? You don't want to come in, and you want Ying to pass it to Xin to drink? Aren't you afraid that something might happen to Xin after she drinks it?" The lady paused, turned her head and said sternly.
"Mother, no, it will be okay. Please ask Ying to bring the medicine over. I will talk to you after Xin drinks it!" Luo knelt down and cried.
It's obvious that there's something wrong with this situation.
The lady will not compromise. If this medicine really gets into Qu Xuexin's mouth, and if something really happens, it will be too late.
"Help your lady up." The lady said coldly, turned around and continued to walk inside.
Yudong stood up, picked up the food box placed aside and followed him in. Luo wanted to stop him, but she didn't dare to let anyone do it, so she could only watch Yudong go in.
Qu Moying came over and helped her, and together with a maid, helped the weak and powerless Luo inside.
After entering the house, the lady sat down in the middle and put the food box back on the table. The lady did not ask Luo Shi at this time. As soon as she saw Luo Shi's expression, she knew that she would not say anything this time.
"Madam, please use the silver needle to probe!" the lady ordered. This was the most direct method.
But even if this method doesn't work, the lady will not let Qu Moying send the medicine to Qu Xuexin. She has to find a doctor to check it.
My nanny obeyed the order, took out a silver stick, walked to the table, opened the food box, took off the lid, and picked up the silver needle to probe inside.
When it was taken out after a while, the part where the silver needle had been inserted was black.
Luo's legs were really weak at this moment, and she sat down on the ground with a plop, her face pale. Even though she was wholeheartedly trying to make soup for her daughter and asked Qu Moying to send it to her, there was only some incense ash in it, so how could it turn the silver needle black
The blackening of the silver needle is certainly different from the black mark outside!
This is something that everyone knows. If the silver needle turns black, it means it is poisonous. There is actually poison in this medicine. This is the medicine that she personally spent several hours to prepare, and it is actually poisonous
"This... this... how could this happen?" Luo's lips trembled twice, and it took a long time for her to find her voice.
"Ms. Luo, you still refuse to say anything? Could it be that you really want to save Xin girl's life?" The old lady was extremely angry. She forced herself to take a breath, slammed the table hard, and scolded loudly.
"Mother, no, no, how could it be, I... I want Xin'er to get better, I... How could I hurt Xin'er..." Luo burst into tears in panic, she really didn't know why she became like this, "This... This is really something I made myself, the medicine for Xin'er, I really made it myself."
Seeing how sad she was crying, the lady asked again, "You never left for a moment?"
She also didn't believe that Luo really wanted to harm Qu Xuexin.
"I didn't leave. I never left." Luo said hurriedly.
"Madam, you left for a while." The maid beside her reminded her in a low voice, "When the master wanted to see you for something, you were out for half an hour."
"Yes, yes, I went out for half an hour.
Hours, and I have been here since then." Luo nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down her face, "Mother, you have to believe me, I...how could I harm Xin'er, I wanted to save her, I specially made her a decoction, I was afraid that others would not be sincere, so I made it myself, just to make Xin'er get better."
"Aunt, why are you suddenly going to make medicine for my elder sister, and why are you taking the trouble to make it yourself?" Qu Moying's soft voice came from the side, with some doubt.
In the past, there were boiled medicine soups sent over, but they were basically made by servants. It was good enough for the master to look at it for a while. How could he stare at it without blinking? This was originally a bit strange.
After being reminded by Qu Moying, the lady understood immediately and stopped asking how many hours Luo had boiled the soup. After thinking for a while, she asked seriously, "Luo, what's special about this soup? Can't you tell me now? At this moment, it's impossible to give this soup to Xin'er, unless you want her to be poisoned and die immediately after drinking it."
"Mother, I didn't. Even if it cost me my life, I... I would never want to harm Xin'er!" Luo leaned over and burst into tears. This kind of thing was completely different from what she had been thinking about, and it almost made her collapse.
Qu Moying walked over, helped Luo up, and advised: "Aunt, someone must be trying to kill my sister. If something really happens to my sister this time, and this medicine was made by my aunt, I will definitely be blamed. After all, I was the one who delivered the medicine, and my aunt is my sister's biological mother, and it is impossible for her to harm my sister. I will have no way to defend myself then!"
After saying that, Shui Mou looked at the silver needle that Wu Mama had placed aside. Judging from how black it was, it should not be the kind of poison that kills instantly upon contact with blood. That means that after taking it, the person might still be saved, but she would not be able to escape the reputation of poisoning Qu Xuexin to death.
With such a reputation, even if my grandmother protects me, my adoptive father will definitely take action. He will have to give an explanation to the East Palace. By then, I will definitely be abandoned and disposed of again.
Killing two birds with one stone, Qu Mingcheng and Qu Xuexin cooperated well this time. In order to harm herself, Qu Xuexin really tried her best and even risked her own life.
Luo grabbed Qu Moying's hand and burst into tears. What else could she not say at this time? She told him everything that had happened, starting from how she had deliberately asked Qu Mingcheng to find a master to help Qu Xuexin save her life, and how she had prepared the medicine in the end.
Most of the things in there were done by her, so it can be said that it had almost nothing to do with others. If there was any involvement, it was the clerk in the pharmacy, or the maid or old woman when Luo was away for a while. However, the clerk in the pharmacy prepared the medicine according to the prescription, and Luo picked one from the prescriptions that were available in several pharmacies, so there was no way anything could have happened.
As for when she left for a while, there were many maids and old women left there, so no one would dare to take action.
Then, Luo Shi didn't know where else he could be poisoned.
"Mother, I really don't know why this happened. Could it be God's will? Is it God's will to kill Xin'er?" Luo lay on the table, crying and unable to get up.
Eating means death, and not eating is also an unavoidable disaster, also a death. Her whole body is trembling, her face is pale, and she is almost choking from crying, she is heartbroken.
"Aunt, don't cry yet. There is another place where you can poison!" Qu Moying looked very calm from beginning to end. After listening carefully to what Luo said, he sorted out his thoughts and spoke!
