Yan Shi called in the little maid who was serving them.
"Please sit down, girl." He pointed to the chair next to him.
The little maid was a little shy, "Your servant is a servant, how can you sit in front of the young master?"
Yan Shi said, "We are medical practitioners, and we don't have to pay too much attention to it. Sit down, girl."
The little servant girl was polite and sat on the chair. Yan Shi said a few words to her casually, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Just now I saw that the concubine is here, who is this concubine?"
"The concubine is our wife's biological sister," the servant girl added, "and also Miss Cousin's biological mother."
Yan Shi and Hua Ling looked at each other, and then asked, "Miss Biao has a biological mother, so why did she grow up here?"
The servant girl shook her head, "I don't know."
Yan Shi also expected that she would not know, she was just a young girl who had been in the mansion for a year, and she probably didn't know about things from a long time ago, so for now, just ask what she can.
"Oh, that's right." The servant girl seemed to think of something, "It's been a year since I entered the mansion, but I didn't see my concubine come here at the beginning. Concubine, it seems that my concubine only came to the mansion four or five months ago Yes, and then lived in the mansion for a while, and then moved out, but I always come to visit it every now and then."
Yan Shi went over the servant girl's words in his mind, and then asked, "When the aunt came, did the madam stay behind closed doors like now?"
"That's not true. During the first days when my aunt came here, my wife seemed to be in a good mood. She even went out of the Buddhist hall and often stayed by my aunt's side." The servant girl frowned and thought about it, then suddenly said, "That's right. , I remembered another thing. My aunt came to the mansion for about a month. One day, my wife and my aunt got into a fight for some reason. The quarrel was very fierce. My wife smashed everything in her room At that time, the whole mansion was panicked, and we servants didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that we would be punished if we did something wrong."
Yan Shi asked again, "What about Miss Cousin? How did she do it?" Yan Shi wanted to know whether Xu Yuanjiao would help her, the biological mother, or the aunt who had cared for her.
The servant girl went on to say, "I don't know much about this. I don't serve Madam and Miss Biao. I only heard that Madam even scolded Miss Biao. I don't know about it later."
"Xiao Man, where are you?" A young woman's voice came from outside.
The servant girl immediately stood up, "Young masters are excused, someone is calling me."
Yan Shi nodded, and signaled Hua Ling with his eyes to wrap a few pieces of pastries on the table in a handkerchief and give them to her, and the little maid left gratefully.
Hua Ling poured Yan Shi a cup of tea, "Brother, please drink tea, have you heard any useful news?"
Yan Shi took a sip of the tea, and said, "Although this girl doesn't know much, we can deduce a lot of useful information from her words. First, this concubine was not here before, then Where did she go before? Could it be that something happened to her husband's family after she got married, and she was unable to support Ms. Xu, so she entrusted Ms. Xu to Mrs. Zheng? Second, the concubine only came to Zheng's mansion four or five months ago Yes, the quarrel between the concubine and Mrs. Zheng happened more than a month after she came. Think again, Miss Xu said that Mr. Zheng was bedridden more than three months ago, so it can also be said that the quarrel between the concubine and Mrs. Zheng It happened more than three months ago, could this time be too coincidental?"
Hua Ling's eyes widened suddenly, "Brother means, the poison in Master Zheng may have been given by his concubine? Then why did she do this? Is it to fight for the family property? This, this is too unbelievable. Don't say goodbye Yes, Mrs. Zheng has helped her raise her child for so many years, how could she do this?"
"Not necessarily." Yan Shi shook his head and said again, "What can be deduced now is that the young master is the child of Miss Xu. Regardless of whether the child belongs to Zheng Lin or the eldest master, he is also the young master of the Xu family in name. He will have a share of all the property. Miss Xu's mother is precious with her son, so naturally she will not lose her share. It seems that Miss Xu and his concubine have a very good relationship now, and Miss Xu will naturally not treat her badly in the future This mother, you said they would have
What motive for poisoning? Another point is the most important. According to my inference, Ms. Xu's child should be born to her and Zheng Lin. You said, if she and his concubine want to acquire the property of the Zheng family, wouldn't it be better to poison Mrs. Zheng? But why poison Master Zheng? "
"Brother, what did you say?" Hua Ling asked in disbelief, "The young master is Miss Xu and Zheng Lin's son? But, isn't Zheng Lin Miss Xu's uncle?"
Yan Shi sighed helplessly, he didn't want Hua Ling to know about some dirty things, he just needed to live in the innocent environment he created. But now that things have caught up, even if he doesn't say it now, Hua Ling will know about it later.
Yan Shi patted him on the shoulder and said, "When Ms. Xu gave Zheng Lin medicine yesterday, didn't you think it was too intimate? Doesn't that look like something that someone who has had close contact would do?"
Hua Ling thought about it carefully, Zheng Lin was lying on the bed, Xu Yuanjiao was still holding the child in her arms, but she gave the child to the servant. The one who picked him up personally, and the one who took medicine for him. As a woman, it is really arrogance for her to be like a man. The matter of feeding medicine could have been done by servants, but she did it by herself.
"If it is said that the young master was born by Ms. Xu and the young master." Yan Shi said another possibility, "Then why did the young master leave home for a study tour more than a year ago? If it was a study tour, I think it should be because he ran away from home. Otherwise, why can’t we find anyone so far? If he and Ms. Xu are in love, then they should be married, but they haven’t. Of course, this can be said to be because Zheng Lin and his wife don’t agree with them being together. But Ms. Xu She even gave birth to a child, and this child is Mrs. Zheng's grandson, even if she doesn't like Miss Xu, she won't be so indifferent to her grandson."
Hua Ling blinked her starry eyes, "Brother, you are so smart, you can guess everything. But I still have a small question to ask, that is, is there another possibility that the young master is Miss Xu and someone else?" Born? In order to cover up such a scandal, Mrs. Zheng called the young master her son?"
"Ming Ting is really smart." Yan Shi looked at him with a smile on his face, "But if that's the case, Mrs. Zheng may dislike that child, but she won't be too indifferent."
"Then is there such a possibility?" Qu Liushang interjected, "It means that the young master was born by Zheng Lin and another woman outside?"
"There is no such possibility." Hua Ling said without waiting for Yan Shi to speak, "My brother is right. He said that the young master belongs to Miss Xu and Zheng Linsheng, so it is Miss Xu and Zheng Linsheng's."
Qu Liushang shook his hands, yes, he can raise doubts himself, but others can't.
The few people said something again, and suddenly another servant came to them and called them, "Sirs, Miss Biao invites you to go over."
Yan Shi followed the servants all the way to Zheng Lin's room. There were two people in the room, Xu Yuanjiao and her biological mother, Xu Shi. Xu's face was somewhat similar to Mrs. Zheng's, but she was more charming than Mrs. Zheng, and she looked very charming. Dressed but very young, unlike what a person of her age should wear, she looks younger than Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Xu sat on the head of the bed and held Zheng Lin in her arms. Xu Yuanjiao was holding a bowl of medicine in her hand and was feeding him spoonful by spoonful.
Seeing this scene, the three of Yan Shi glanced at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Young masters are here." Xu Yuanjiao hurriedly said when she saw them coming.
When Xu saw three handsome young masters coming in, he smiled all over his face, "These young masters are all doctors?"
"Mother, these two are doctors." Xu Yuanjiao pointed to Yan Shi and Qu Liushang, "That one is a little medicine boy."
"This doctor is really good-looking." Xu's eyes rolled back and forth on Yan Shi and Qu Liushang, "One is more beautiful than the other, I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen such a good-looking man. "
Xu put down Zheng Lin in his arms gently, and after standing up, his eyes kept turning back and forth on the two of them. Hua Ling felt upset when he saw it, and stood in front of Yan Shi with a few steps.
Xu's line of sight was blocked and he was slightly unhappy, but when he saw the face of the person in front of him, his eyes immediately widened a lot, and the joy on his face could no longer be concealed.
Hua Ling was the last to come in, and he was dressed like a servant, so
This time Mrs. Xu didn't look at his face, but seeing Hua Ling's face now, it was as if she had discovered some treasure, her eyes were almost glued to his body, and she wanted to touch it with her hands.
Yan Shi quietly took Hua Ling's hand, pulled him aside, looked at Xu Yuanjiao and asked, "Why did Miss Xu call us here?"
"It's like this." Xu Yuanjiao said, "My uncle has recovered a lot after drinking the medicine, and he can say a few words occasionally today, but when I gave him the medicine just now, he refused to drink anyway. I want to ask Ask a few sons what is going on here?"
Qu Liushang's eyes fell on the medicine bowl in Xu Yuanjiao's hand, and he barely drank from the full bowl.
"Give it to me." Qu Liushang took the medicine bowl, walked up to Zheng Lin, pressed a few fingers on his mouth and chin a few times, then Zheng Lin opened his mouth obediently, and Qu Liushang took the bowl to take the medicine Poured it into his mouth, Zheng Lin drank it all.
"My lord still has a solution, my little girl, thank you lord." Xu Yuanjiao was very happy to see Zheng Lin drink the medicine.
Mrs. Xu was also very happy, looking back and forth at the three of them with sticky eyes, which made their skin crawl.
Yan Shi couldn't stay any longer, so he found an excuse and left.
It was late at night, and Hua Ling was sitting in front of the dressing table in a snow-white obscene dress, and let Yan Shi help him put down the two little hairpins on his head.
Her long hair, which was as black as the night, fell down, making Hua Ling's innocent little face even more charming.
"Boom boom boom!"
There was a sudden knock on the door, followed by Qu Liushang's voice, "Junior brother, are you asleep?"
Yan Shi and Hua Ling looked at each other, Yan Shi brought Hua Ling's clothes to him, and then went to open the door.
He stumbled in almost as soon as the door opened, and looked at him again, his black hair was all over his body, his coat was only hanging loosely on his body, and the obscene clothes inside were not neatly dressed, as if he was being dragged away by someone, With a large chest exposed, this appearance is really embarrassing.
"You, what's the matter with you?" Yan Shi couldn't help being a little taken aback when he saw him like this, although Qu Liushang was usually a little out of tune, but he didn't appear in front of him in such disheveled clothes, something must have happened.
Qu Liushang ran into the room a few times as if his butt was on fire, "Then, that concubine came to see me and said she wanted to sleep with me!"
