Chapter 248 The cause of death is strange, muddying the pool

While thinking about it, Xin Ruo sipped the chicken soup. After finishing drinking, Xin Ruo put down the blue and white bowl engraved with flowers and birds, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, got up and walked to the side room.

Zhan Moyu originally came together, but before entering the door, he turned around and went to the study. When Nan'er and Bei'er saw Xin Ruo coming, they hurriedly opened the door to let Xin Ruo in, and then continued to guard outside.

Mama Yuan was sitting in the room, embarrassed, but the young master and young mistress pushed her down but ignored her for a long time, and her heart became more and more disturbed.

Seeing Xin Ruo bring the servant girl into the room, she knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Young Mistress, the servant did not put licorice in the purse."

Xin Ruo hurriedly reached out to help her up, sat down on the embroidered pier, and said in relief, "Mother Yuan, don't worry, I know you didn't add the licorice, and the husband just brought you here to protect you.

After all, you handed the wallet to me with your own hands, and the old lady saw it with her own eyes.

She wants to use my hand to get rid of you. If you are taken away by your father, the old lady will definitely attack you. Only by calling you can you be saved. "

Yuan's mother was a little startled when she heard that, but seeing Xin Ruo's expression was happy, after all, she was an old man in her tens of years, so she still had some vision.

If the young mistress really believed that the poison in the licorice was poisoned by her, and ordered someone to beat her to death early in the morning, she would have to wait until now.

She felt distressed when she saw the nosebleed before, but now her nose is still red.

Knowing that Xin Ruo was telling the truth, her eyes turned red.

It was a long time ago that the old lady wanted to get rid of her, so she knelt down and kowtowed to Xin Ruo to thank Xin Ruo.

Xin Ruo supported her and refused to let her go, "Just now in the house, Xin Ruo heard a lot about my husband talking about his childhood, Mama Yuan was kind to my husband, Xin Ruo is grateful to you.

I also know that the licorice in the turnips was added by Madam Fu. Although she didn't intend to harm you, she failed to avenge you.

Xin Ruo was already feeling sorry in her heart, but you still kneeled on me, didn't you intentionally make my conscience uneasy? "

Mama Yuan's eyes widened when she heard this, Xin Ruodang didn't see her surprised expression, and helped her to sit steadily.

Mo Lan poured a cup of tea over there, and Xin Ruo respectfully handed it to Mama Yuan, and said apologetically, "I'm afraid I was frightened today, so drink a cup of tea first to calm down the shock, it's all Xin Ruo's fault, if not If I ask you for a purse, I won't harm you..."

Mama Yuan hurriedly put down the teacup in her hand and waved her hands again and again, "It's all due to my own carelessness, so don't blame the young mistress, being able to help the young mistress make purses is a blessing that the slave has cultivated for several generations.

The young mistress believed that the servant girl was wronged, so the servant girl wanted to thank the young mistress and the young master for saving their lives. "

If you don't categorically deny that the licorice was added by Mrs. Fu, that's a tacit acquiescence.

Xin Ruo wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and smiled, "The wronged mother Yuan has been staying with me for two days, but my yard is not very safe, even two maids died.

Later, Xianggong will send you out for two days, and come back after the limelight passes. "

What Xin Ruo said was so sincere that Mama Yuan's moved eyes overflowed with tears, and she nodded repeatedly.

What is there not to be dissatisfied with a servant who has the master caring so much for her? Xin Ruo sighed when she saw that she was almost done, "Xin Ruo married into the palace and saw the tablet of the former princess in the ancestral hall when she went to the genealogy.

Mama Yuan is the dowry maid of the late princess, she is the closest person to her, can you tell me the story of the late princess? "

Mother Yuan did not suspect him, her eyes turned red when she heard it, she nodded, and told Xin Ruo the story of the former princess.

From Mama Yuan's tone of voice and expression, Xin Ruo knew that Mama Yuan had a lot of respect for the late concubine, even though she had been dead for more than 30 years, that feeling might not have dissipated even half of it.

Under Xin Ruo's slow and inadvertent guidance, Yuan's mother finally revealed the cause of the former princess' death.

It turned out that hemorrhage was caused by fetal fall, and his body was extremely weak, and he was so sick that he couldn't take care of the prince.

At that time, the old lady happened to come to visit her, so she took the opportunity to say that she would stay and help take care of the prince.

The concubine was grateful first, and seeing that the old lady was really kind to the prince, when she was dying, she begged the old prince to accept her, so that if she went, the prince would not be bullied by his stepmother.

In the past, she was guided by Xin Ruo, but gradually Yuan's mother started to talk about it. I am afraid that these things have been kept in her heart for a long time, like a flood that has opened, and it is out of control.

The more Xin Ruo listened, the more puzzled she felt, why the concubine had a miscarriage and caused massive bleeding when she was fine, and since the bleeding had stopped and her body was getting better day by day, why is it better to die.

After the death of the first princess, the old lady used a small mistake to force Mama Yuan to be buried with the first princess. At that time, it was Mrs. Fu who saved her life, and she has been with Mrs. Fu ever since.

Xin Ruo was even more stunned when she thought that the old lady had wanted Yuan's mother to die for more than 30 years.

Mama Yuan just knocked over a candle while she was guarding the late princess, and it didn't cause any big fire, so there's no need to force her to die.

Since the old lady was the side concubine given to the old prince by the former princess, her status is naturally higher than that of Fu's aunt. It is really surprising that Fu can save Mama Yuan from her.

Thinking of Mrs. Fu desperately protecting Mother Yuan today, Xin Ruo's doubts can overflow her chest.

Thinking about what Zhan Moyu said before, half of the reason why the prince respects Mrs. Fu is because of Madam Yuan.

Mama Yuan fell into thoughts and choked up, Xin Ruo handed her the handkerchief, but Mama Yuan didn't take it, but wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and forced out a smile, "The servant has lost his composure."

Xin Ruo shook her head and said with a smile, "The late princess is now Xin Ruo's grandmother. I am moved to see you miss her so much. I heard that the old lady often troubles you. What is the reason? Is it related to the late princess?" ?”

Mother Yuan raised her head and looked at Xin Ruo, her eyes flickered, she quickly lowered her head, shook her head and murmured, "No, there is no reason...it has nothing to do with the death of the late concubine."

Xin Ruo blinked when she heard this, then smiled and said nothing, it's strange that there is no reason.

She only asked if it was related to the former princess, but she didn't say that it was related to her death, so she didn't ask herself.

The most important thing in traditional Chinese medicine is to see, hear, and ask. It should not be emphasized in seeing a doctor. Even the facial expressions of ordinary people can be used universally. Her momentary hesitation could not escape her eyes.

If she doesn't have anything against the old lady, can the old lady make trouble with her because of her status?

What's more, after so many years, she has never had the heart to kill her, and Mrs. Fu is even more so, desperately protecting her mother.

Xin Ruo is now eager to know what the old madam's taboo is, and whether the death of the former concubine is related to her, so she may be able to use this matter to severely hit her.

But it seems that Yuan's mother kept her mouth shut when she heard her straightforward question.

Xin Ruo didn't press the question any more, she wanted her to speak out, because she cared about the late princess, Xin Ruo didn't believe that if the cause of the late princess' death was really strange, she would hold back and keep suppressing it.

But what made her keep this secret in her heart for so many years without saying a word, could it be because of Mrs. Fu?
Xin Ruo suppressed the doubts one after another in her heart, stood up and said, "Mother Yuan will rest here for a while, and I will send you out later."

Mama Yuan nodded repeatedly, looking at Xin Ruo with gentle and loving eyes, the master has a good grandson-in-law, and with her to accompany Young Master Sun, the master Quanxia Youzhi should be satisfied.

Her heart was like a bright mirror, the young mistress wanted to know whether the story about the former princess was false, and the truth was that she deliberately probed into the entanglement between her and the old lady.

It's a pity that she can't talk about that, the water in the palace is unfathomable, the more she looks down, the greater the danger.

The old lady will not talk about it, she has been with the old lady Fu for so many years, and she doesn't know what she is thinking in her heart, why she tried her best to save her in the first place.

What exactly did you tell the old lady to save her life? If you just use her to blackmail the old lady, you can send her away directly, wouldn't that be better?
Xin Ruo went out of the side room, turned around and told Mo Lan, "Send a letter to Mama Su, ask her to take good care of Mama Yuan and chat with her more."

Mo Lan knew what Xin Ruo was thinking. Mama Yuan had a lot of things on her mind, and she broke off every time she got to the point.

Xin Ruocai came out of the side room and was walking into the yard when Chunhong, the servant girl next to the old lady, came up and said, "Young Mistress, the old lady invites you to go."

The corners of Xin Ruo's mouth curled slightly, as expected, she couldn't hold back, she was going to stir up the semi-clear water in the palace today, Xin Ruo nodded, took Zilan and followed Chunhong to the old man in the house.

In the old lady's room, the second wife and side concubine Lu were both there. The old lady was sitting on a high seat sipping tea, and she rarely looked at Xin Ruo with cold eyebrows.

Xin Ruo respectfully paid her respects, and side concubine Lu held Xin Ruo's hand graciously.

Worryingly said, "Today I heard that Madam Yuan in Mrs. Fu's house poisoned you, are you okay?"

Xin Ruo shook her head, she acted calmly towards Concubine Lu's sudden intimacy, it was all expected.

It's just that since you care about me, can you show a little bit of sincerity, it feels bad to be fooled by others.

Knowing that I had a lot of nosebleeds and was poisoned, I still sent people to call me to ask me about my health. If you really care about it, you should come to Jiangzixuan instead of clapping your hands twice.

This acting skill needs to be tempered, Xin Ruo rolled her eyes, and smiled lightly, "After taking the detoxification medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, there is no serious problem, but the head is a little dizzy and the legs are a little weak after standing for a long time."

Concubine Lu hurriedly helped Xin Ruo to sit down, the second wife over there couldn't help muttering, but it was just two drops of nosebleeds, so it doesn't need to be so expensive.

However, she only stood there for a few minutes, usually standing in the old lady's room for a quarter of an hour without seeing her frown, the poison is really that serious.

Just as she was thinking about why Mama Yuan wanted to harm Xin Ruo, she heard the old lady say distressedly, "You too, but it's just a purse, you never leave it when you play with it, and you sniff it in your nose.

I'm afraid the poison will be severe, so what do you and Yu'er plan to do, Mama Yuan? "
