Liu still held on to hope because she really showed signs of being poisoned. Especially after entering the elegant room, she became confused and dazed, as if she had lost her mind.
So when she saw Chen Er coming later, she was so moved that she couldn't help herself.
The doctor stepped forward to feel Liu's pulse. After a moment, Doctor Li shook his head and said, "Madam, there is no sign of poisoning."
Zi'an raised his lips and sneered. This kind of warm love poison will be slowly absorbed by the body as the blood circulates. In addition, the dose was not heavy to begin with. After such a long time, it has been completely absorbed by the body. How can it be detected by taking the pulse? I'm afraid that even a blood test would not be able to find it.
After hearing what the doctor said, Liu cried out in a shrill voice, "Impossible, how is this possible?"
She suddenly jumped up and pointed at Yuan and shouted angrily, "It's you. You framed me."
Yuan was blind and had no idea what she was referring to. Instead, Nanny Yang stepped forward and said angrily, "It's our Madam again? Why do you always blame our Madam when someone does something wrong? Are you people in the Prime Minister's Mansion crazy? I have always been with Madam, and Madam is blind, so how could she frame you?"
Liu regained consciousness and pointed at Nanny Yang, saying in shock, "I came here and saw you. You said Yuan was waiting for me in the private room and asked me to go in. You framed me. Why did you do this?"
Nanny Yang said coldly, "You have wronged Madam, and now you are wronging me, a servant. If I don't admit it, will you also wrong my master, the Queen?"
"No," Concubine Cui suddenly raised her head and looked at Madam Yang, "You said you were with Madam the whole time, why did that girl say she was with Madam the whole time, and she also said Madam was with Chen Er and sent her back to get clothes!"
Nanny Yang said, "I don't know. I have been accompanying Madam today. When the eldest lady went out, she told her that Madam's eyesight was not good and she should not leave her alone. And the old lady did not allow Madam to go to the front garden, so I followed her everywhere."
After Madam Yang finished speaking, she glanced at Shuyu indifferently, "As for Shuyu, she disappeared early this morning. She has always felt that staying in Xiazhi Garden to serve the Madam is not a good thing, and she has repeatedly asked the housekeeper to transfer her away."
Everything that Nanny Yang said, whether intentional or unintentional, was pointed to something. People with a clear mind actually knew what was going on.
The old lady looked at the old lady and Prime Minister Xia with great disgust. The reason why the Prime Minister's Mansion has been so "outstanding" recently was because of selfish targeting and too much planning. The Prime Minister's Mansion had no outstanding descendants, so they wanted to climb the big tree of the Prince, and shamelessly forced Xia Zian to marry on their behalf. After failing, they became angry and caused so many troubles.
In fact, it all comes down to seeking wealth and glory.
After all the scheming, he ended up shooting himself in the foot.
If I'm not mistaken, the person who fought back definitely had more than just this trick prepared, but perhaps outsiders couldn't see that.
As expected, someone in the crowd said, "Hey? Isn't this Doctor Li from Bao Yuan Tang? Chen Er's wife just said that Doctor Li had diagnosed Chen Linglong. If the Prime Minister wants to find out, just ask Doctor Li on the spot and you will know."
Madam Linglong fell to the ground, her face horrified.
When Prime Minister Xia saw her like this, he understood what was going on. He clenched his fingers into fists and the veins on his neck looked like black earthworms, almost bursting out.
But Yuan said at this time, "I really neglected all the distinguished guests today. Come, send them out first, and I will come to apologize one by one another another day."
Yuan had appropriately pulled up a fig leaf for the prime minister's residence. Although it was transparent, it was better than being exposed by so many people for the fact that Prime Minister Xia was raising a child for someone else.
After hearing Yuan's words, the guests had to leave even if they didn't want to.
Lady Chen said to Zi'an, "Please see me off. I have something to tell you."
Zi'an knew that he was going to be questioned, but he should be questioned for this crime, so he bowed and said, "Yes, my daughter will take you there, Madam."
Chen Liuliu still wanted to watch the fun, but she also knew that such a family matter would definitely not be interrogated in front of so many people, so she had to go out with Zi'an.
After sending Chen Liuliu to the door and letting her get on the carriage, the old lady suddenly stared at Zi'an and said, "Little girl, you are too scheming. I can't control you against others, but you took advantage of Liuliu, and I am very unhappy."
Zi'an apologized, "Nothing can be hidden from the old lady's discerning eyes. I apologize to the old lady."
"Hmph, I don't need an apology. Just think about how to make it up to you!" The old lady was obviously very angry.
Zi'an smiled slightly and said, "Half a year, I packed up Xiao Tuo and sent him to Liu Liu's room. I wonder if the Queen is satisfied?"
The old lady narrowed her eyes and stared at Zi'an with a rather stern gaze, but the wrinkles on her forehead slowly relaxed, "Three months!"
"It will probably take half a year to deal with a stubborn stone like Xiao Tuo!" Zi'an sighed.
The old lady calculated the days and found that Liu Liu still had more than half a year to go before she turned nineteen. If they could get married within this half year, it would be in time, but the time was too tight.
"Madam, good men are hard to find. It's worth waiting for half a year for a grandson-in-law like Xiao Tuo." Zi'an reminded!
"Remember your words. If you don't pack up and come to Xiao Tuo in half a year, I'll throw shit at you!" The old lady said before getting on the carriage.
"… "
Zi'an finally understood what heredity was, and it was inheritance from the previous generation. Perhaps, it was due to what he had seen and heard.
The old lady seemed to have been in the army before, hanging out with a large group of warriors. Naturally, her speech was not elegant and it was common for her to swear.
Zi'an remembered that when he was in the special agent group, there were several agents who were full of swear words. A certain organ of their body was almost always on their lips, and every sentence had to include their own mother or the other party's mother to show respect.
After seeing off the guests, Prime Minister Xia and the old lady drove everyone out, even Yuan was not allowed to be present, and only Doctor Li was left alone.
Zi'an went straight back to Xiazhi Garden. As soon as she arrived, Yuan and Nanny Yang came back.
Shuyu cautiously peeked in at the door, somewhat afraid to come in.
Zi'an saw Shuyu and said, "Come in!"
Shuyu went in panic, knelt on the ground, and said with a dead look on her face: "Miss, I was wrong, please forgive me!" After this time, she would not be so foolish as to think that Madam Linglong could still be the same as before.
Zi'an was sitting in front of the porch, playing with a dagger in his hand. The cold light of the dagger flashed, and Shuyu was so scared that she trembled all over.
"Miss, please spare me, Miss, please spare me!" Shuyu kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Zi'an laughed, "Silly girl, why do you want to spare my life? You did nothing wrong. If it weren't for you today, we wouldn't be so successful."
Shuyu's face turned pale. "Miss, I have no choice but to do this. Madam ordered me to do this, and I dare not disobey her."
"Nonsense!" Xiaosun stepped forward angrily, "Why didn't you do what our lady told you to do in the past? You didn't even bother sweeping the floor and cleaning the vases, and now that lady asked you to do something so immoral, you just did it without hesitation. Even if the eldest lady doesn't beat you today, I, Xiaosun, won't let you go."
As he said that, Xiaosun took off his cloth shoes and started beating Shuyu.
