Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 346: The Heart Is the Most Poisonous (1)

When Shen Yuechen heard the words, his expression couldn't help but change color.

Sure enough, someone poisoned... Fortunately, they thought of this method, mixed the poison into the sandalwood, and let people inhale it unconsciously.

After Shen Yuechen recalled, He Yalin's face that couldn't hide her thoughts couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Changfeng also showed embarrassment. He didn't want to take care of this matter voluntarily.

Sandalwood is poisonous, this is something he can be sure of, but there are tens of thousands of poisons in the world, if you can't find the person who poisoned it, it will take a lot of effort to find out what the poison is.

Seeing that Shen Yuechen was silent, Lu Changfeng only used his fingertips to stroke the edge of the cup lightly round and round, also looking difficult.

"Grandma, human life is at stake, so there's no time to delay. Now that sandalwood has been found to be poisonous, it's better to report it to the elders in the family and investigate thoroughly."

Shen Yuechen didn't know the urgency of the matter.

It's just that this matter is too big, and it involves the second room, so she can't talk to the elders alone.

Shen Yuechen immediately sent someone to send a letter to Zhu Jintang, who was in charge of the granary, asking him to hurry up and come back.

Sure enough, Zhu Jintang got her message, put down what he was doing, and hurried back.

At first, he thought it was because she was not feeling well, but when he saw that she was sitting upright, she looked unharmed, but her expression was heavy, and Lu Changfeng beside him was also standing with downcast eyes, with a troubled expression on his face.

Zhu Jintang couldn't help feeling puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Shen Yuechen put the small piece of sandalwood on the table, and said softly: "I heard today that Aunt Tao of the second bedroom is seriously ill, and Zhu Qingyue's child is also ill. If I want to contribute, I will Let Dr. Lu go over and have a look. My concubine is the most trustworthy of Dr. Lu's medical skills. However, after Dr. Lu's pulse diagnosis, he noticed something strange... Aunt Tao's illness is already strange, and she has a high fever. It's very similar to summer fever, but in fact..."

As she said, she handed the sandalwood forward, "I am worried that summer plague will affect our family, so I asked Doctor Lu to examine it carefully."

At this point, Lu Changfeng took over the conversation in a timely manner, and continued: "Grandma, let the old man talk about the next thing."

Shen Yuechen nodded, Zhu Jintang frowned slightly and said, "Doctor Lu, please continue."

Lu Changfeng stroked his beard, and continued: "I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I have seen many symptoms of summer fever. This kind of disease is fierce, and once you get it, you are close to death. However, according to my experience in practicing medicine for many years , Aunt Tao's illness is not summer fever. The old man has always told the truth in front of the grandma. What Aunt Tao is carrying is not a fever, but a heat poison. So, the old man told the grandma After the grandma found out about this, she tried a way to go to Aunt Tao's room, and finally found this piece of sandalwood, and the old man tried it out, and found out that it was indeed poisonous."

poison!When Zhu Jintang heard this word, a vein suddenly popped up on his forehead.

His face became gloomy, he looked at Shen Yuechen and said, "You mean someone poisoned the house?"

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly: "That's true. Sandalwood is poisonous, and the people targeted are undoubtedly Aunt Tao and Qingyue."

Zhu Jintang shook his head in disbelief, but what Shen Yuechen said was absolutely correct, and the evidence was right in front of him.

Zhu Jin stood up vigorously, put away the sandalwood wrapped in a handkerchief on the table, turned around and walked outside the house.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen hurriedly followed, but his pace was too fast, she couldn't catch up.

"Miss, please slow down..." Cui Xin hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and raised her voice to persuade.

As soon as she made such a sound, Zhu Jintang's feet stopped, and he turned around quickly, looked at Shen Yuechen and said, "Slow down."

Right now, no matter what happens at home, Shen Yuechen is the only person he wants to take care of first.

Seeing that Zhu Jintang was angry, Shen Yuechen didn't want him to act impulsively, so he hurriedly said, "Where are you going with your angry appearance?"

Zhu Jintang clasped his palms and said, "Naturally, we need to investigate clearly. There are actually people doing such despicable things at home, poisoning people, this is the most despicable thing."

Shen Yuechen also knew the seriousness of this matter, but she didn't want to see Zhu Jintang lose his temper. After all, this was a matter of the inner courtyard.

"Master, don't worry, I will go to the room with you."

When something like this happens, it is most appropriate to let the elders come forward to deal with it.

Zhu Jintang knew the scruples in her heart, he was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, let's go there together."

At this time, there was still a long time before dinner, and the courtyard was quiet, only the maids passed by from time to time, holding the cups, dishes and dishes needed for dinner in their hands.

Just after the silence, the old man suddenly yelled, "Absurd! Really absurd! Who the hell did such a despicable and unseemly thing?"

The maids outside the door were startled by his sudden shout, and some of them almost broke the things they were holding.

The old man seldom loses such a big temper. His slightly thin body shook slightly with anger, and even his gray beard trembled.

The old lady's face was also extremely ugly, she shook her head and said, "It's really a crime, a crime! Who did it?"

Shen Yuechen lowered her eyes slightly: "I just found the poison by accident, but who poisoned it? I have to ask my aunt to check carefully to find out."

She already had an answer in her heart, but for the sake of harmony among her family, she deliberately concealed it.

This kind of thing, no matter how well it is hidden, it is difficult to get rid of it completely.

The old lady naturally did not allow her family members to do such a messy thing, so she immediately sent someone to find Mrs. Chai.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Chai had just made a big complaint with the old lady, saying that the old lady was too eccentric, and everything was dominated by the long-term house, which made her, the second wife of the Zhu family, have a lower and lower status in the family. Almost even a junior can't get past it.

The old lady calmly persuaded her a few words, she only said a few words for Shen Yuechen to exercise, and she had no intention of favoritism.

After a while, Mrs. Chai came to the upper room angrily, and as soon as she entered the room, she didn't bother to salute the elders, but went straight to Shen Yuechen, and asked in a cold voice: "Shen Yuechen, what is your plan?"

Shen Yuechen was taken aback by her question, seeing her bad tone, she quickly got up and said, "Auntie, did you misunderstand something?"

Chai sneered and said, "What's the misunderstanding? It's only been a day, and you have messed up our second room. What else can I misunderstand! Shen Yuechen, you can't wait so fast, can you? You have to kick You feel comfortable when you step on Erfang's head, don't you?"

Momentarily angry, Chai's words became unscrupulous, completely devoid of his usual grace and dignity, with sharp words and cold eyes.

Zhu Jintang's complexion darkened, he took two steps forward, stood in front of Shen Yuechen, looked at Chai, and said in a deep voice: "Auntie, it's not too late to get angry before you clarify the matter, Yuechen has no right or wrong, you Don't embarrass her like this!"

Seeing Zhu Jintang standing up to talk back, Mrs. Chai felt even more displeased: "Jintang, Jintang, it's a waste of me being an aunt. I have hurt you for so many years, and you have never thought about me in your heart. Why am I embarrassing her? It’s obvious that you guys got together to embarrass me, embarrassing Nylon is the real thing.”

After hearing this, Zhu Jintang became a little anxious.

"Auntie, what you said is serious. If Yuechen hadn't discovered this sandalwood, then no one would have known about the poisoning. The Zhu family is so big and there are so many people inside and out. Find out this vicious person, and someone will be killed in the future, what should we do?"

Mrs. Chai was choked by his words, but she still looked angrily: "In any case, the person who poisoned me will never be someone close to me. If you want to investigate, you shouldn't just investigate me. Everyone in the family Everyone under him has to check it out."

Seeing her unreasonable look, the old lady frowned and said, "Second daughter-in-law, have you figured out the ins and outs of the matter? This matter is not that we intend to deliberately target the people around you, but that we really want to Someone poisoned Xiaotao and Qingyue! You have to know that this happened under your own nose, why do you have any reason to blame others?"

After hearing what the old lady said, Mrs. Chai felt dissatisfied, but her tone eased a bit: "Old lady, don't you know what kind of person I am? How could you be so excited about the overcoming matter if you weren't in a hurry today?"

The old lady snorted softly: "Listen to what you said just now, it's clearly a sarcasm, Yuechen doesn't know the rules, and makes troubles in secret. But, don't think about it, she is a pregnant woman, she is fine when she is full Why, is it worth using such a lie to confuse you? This poison has been found and placed before your eyes, don’t you feel afraid in your heart? In case, if she doesn’t find out, this thing will stay with you all the time, Isn’t it another big disaster?”

Mrs. Chai glanced at Shen Yuechen standing behind Zhu Jintang, just shook her head and said: "Old lady, she has only been to Xiaotao's room a few times, how familiar are she and Xiaotao? Familiar, how much do you know? Is she a fairy or a Taoist priest, why can you see flaws in her eyes when things that others can't see?"

Only when Shen Yuechen heard this did he understand.It turned out that the reason Chai was so angry was not only because she meddled in her own business, but also because she was worried that she was playing tricks behind her back and wanted to deliberately frame someone... Thinking of this, Shen Yuechen couldn't help it He shook his head silently in his heart.

Handling this matter turned out to be more troublesome and tangled than expected... Zhu Jintang was beside him, and couldn't help but angrily said, "Second Aunt, you're spitting blood on your mouth. Could it be that Yuechen helped you and even raised suspicions?" Hmph! Thanks to the fact that you still think of yourself as an elder, it’s a pity that you have lived in vain at this age. You have a strong mouth, but you are confused in your heart, and you can’t understand right from wrong. You really can’t distinguish between black and white, which is extremely absurd!”

As a junior, to call her stupid and absurd in front of her elders just now is absolutely disrespectful.

Chai's face was turned pale by his anger, Mr. Zhu beside him couldn't stand it anymore, he patted the table again and said: "Shut up!"
