Food shopping is actually very easy to get started. There are fixed stores for each part. Every day, someone will deliver fresh meat, raw fish, vegetables, fruits and other food. Liuyun just needs to go there often to have a look.

The steward of the kitchen is conscientious. After all, food has always been the most important aspect of the Hou family, and no one dares to neglect and be lazy.

Liu Yun didn't dare to relax, because she knew that meal purchases were the easiest to use and also the most accident-prone. In the past, Qianlan often said that many foods should not be eaten together. Food poisoning and diarrhea in mild cases, and even fainting and coma in severe cases of.

But in many cases, the more you worry, the more accidents are likely to happen.

She had just come out of the accounting room that day, when she saw Wan Qing running over with a solemn face, and said in a low voice, "Miss Su Wan has been vomiting and diarrhea after lunch, and she has passed out now. The doctor just arrived and said It may be a dietary problem, the eldest lady and the others are all at Ms. Su's place, so I want you to go there quickly."

"What did Su Wan have for lunch?" A strange look flashed across Liu Yun's face, and he walked towards Su Yuan with Wan Qing calmly.

"I didn't have a good appetite when I got up in the morning, so I ate some fish porridge. I didn't go to the front yard to eat at noon. I said I wanted to drink pigeon soup, so her girl went to the kitchen to send a message to stew pigeon soup for her. At noon It’s okay after eating, but after sleeping for more than an hour, I woke up and started throwing up.” Wan Qing said quickly, “If there is something wrong with the food at noon, it should not be pigeons, it might be in the soup The medicinal materials that are stewed together, Ms. Su is not in good health, so I will put some medicinal materials in the soup for her to make a soup similar to medicinal food."

"Medical ingredients?" Liu Yun frowned, slightly guessing in his heart.

While talking, they had already arrived at Suyuan. Su Wan was lying on the bed with a bloodless face, while the other ladies stood beside her worriedly. The doctor was feeling her pulse, and the atmosphere in the room was very solemn.

"Aunt Lan..." Liu Yun went up to greet the wives, and then asked about Su Wan's situation, "What's wrong with Sister Su Wan? The maid told me it was a problem with the medicinal food?"

Liu Yun's quick scrambling made the few wives who wanted to criticize her speechless. No one thought that she would not shy away from asking a crucial question as soon as she opened her mouth.

"The doctor said it might be a food problem, and they are still checking." Ling Lan glanced at Liu Yun, and she naturally believed in this daughter-in-law in her heart. Looking at the gloating in Bai Ruoyan's eyes, she knew that this matter was not serious. simple.

"I have been in my concubine's hands for purchasing ingredients for so long, but I have never encountered any mistakes. Fortunately, this young husband has been in charge of purchasing ingredients for less than a week, and there has been such a big mess. I don't know if I understand it or not?" Bai Ruoyan raised her eyebrows coldly, implying something.

"Don't rush to draw conclusions. It may not be because of food problems. Su Wan's girl said that she was not feeling well in the morning." Ling Lan was not helping Liu Yun, but now Liu Yun is her daughter-in-law. It was she who asked Liu Yun to be in charge of purchasing ingredients again. If something happened to her this time, she, the head of the house, would not be able to get rid of it.

Bai Ruoyan smiled coldly, and her tone became harsh: "I'll know right away if it's a food problem. I'm afraid that Sister Lan won't handle it fairly. Although Liuyun is the daughter-in-law of our Marquis, if it's really her problem, It cannot be tolerated lightly.”

Compared to Mrs. Bai Fang's aggressiveness, Shangguan Lu Rong seemed much gentler. She just said indifferently: "It's too early to discuss everything. It's best to discuss it after the doctor's diagnosis."

Liu Yun noticed a few malicious eyes, and frowned slightly. It seemed that this incident was most likely aimed at her.

After a while, the doctor finally confirmed the diagnosis. He went to the table and wrote a prescription, and then said: "Miss must have eaten a medicinal herb called willow ginseng by mistake. Miss is afraid of catching a cold recently, and the wind and cold are too strong. It injures the spleen and stomach, and Liushen is cold and injures the stomach, and the young lady will suffer from vomiting and diarrhea after eating it by mistake, which is actually due to the spleen and stomach being in disarray."

Willow ginseng?Liu Yun frowned, why had she never heard of this name before.

"What is willow ginseng?" Ling Lan had never heard of this name before, so she asked suspiciously.

"Willow ginseng is a kind of herbal plant that is dried and fried. It looks similar to blood ginseng, but its efficacy is very different." The doctor paused, looked at the ugly face of the lady, and then said, "Nian In the past, the mistress of a family used willow ginseng instead of blood ginseng to make soup, and the taste was almost the same, but... the price of willow ginseng was only one-tenth of the price of blood ginseng."

The next words, no need for the doctor to say, everyone will understand.

The maid led the doctor out of the room, and the lady cast her eyes on Liu Yun. If Liu Yun wanted a little money, she would never believe it. The daughter of the Mu family would not be short of money.

"Ewha, go and call the warehouse steward and the kitchen steward." The lady gave the order, and her personal maid, Li Hua, immediately went to find the two stewards.

Su Wan was still in a coma, the others didn't speak, and Liu Yun stood by the side without saying a word. She quickly calculated in her heart whether this matter would be a blessing or a curse for her, but before she could figure it out, At that time, the warehouse manager Lin and the kitchen manager Xu had already arrived.

The two knew the purpose of Da Furen calling them here, they both knelt on the ground and waited for Da Furen to ask her questions.

"Returning to Madam, all the blood ginseng used in our house has never been used in willow ginseng. The latest batch of blood ginseng arrived the day before yesterday. There was also a snow lotus that arrived on the same day. The slave and the young lady inspected the goods separately. Therefore, when the blood ginseng arrives, only the young lady should be there." The warehouse manager spoke in an orderly manner without any ambiguity.

"Returning to Madam, Miss Su's girl did come to the kitchen yesterday to ask the cook to help cook pigeon soup, and she also brought some fresh velvet antler and blood ginseng, saying that Miss Su is not in good health these days, and she needs to make up for it. The slave was preparing dinner in the kitchen at that time, so he saw the cook put the antler and blood ginseng into the soup." The kitchen steward replied with the same reason.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a drama that has been arranged long ago, and Liu Yun has not defended himself. If he can take advantage of the situation and let himself withdraw from the power struggle of their wives, it will be a blessing in disguise. of.

However, Ling Lan at this moment was resentful. She knew that Liu Yun could not be blamed. She just came to the Hou Mansion and her foundation was unstable. , but even so, she was still extremely depressed.

"Liuyun, your lax supervision caused Su Wan to eat willow ginseng by mistake, and you will be detained for three months. Go to the ancestral hall and spend a day thinking about it." After Ling Lan finished speaking, she looked at Bai Ruoyan again, "Sister Yan , it seems that you still need to take care of the purchase of this stall, after all, Liuyun is young and has no eyesight, and you will teach her yourself when she matures."

This matter was whitewashed in this way, Bai Ruoyan got what she wanted, and she knew in her heart that Ling Lan was determined to protect her shortcomings, so she didn't make any more fuss, and no one would really punish Liuyun. .

However, Ling Lan's complete defeat this time is a kind of shame to her, and this kind of shame was brought to her by her daughter-in-law. She believes that the tacit understanding between them will become less and less. Just watch the good show with peace of mind.
