famous concubine

Chapter 355 Liu Yunsha (2)
"Doctor, what did my mother eat by mistake?" Dongfang Xian frowned, squinting his triangular eyes and glanced at the messy inner room. "My mother pays attention to her diet in daily life, how could she accidentally eat something highly poisonous?"

"Young master, this thing is actually very common." The doctor sighed, showing a puzzled look, "However, this matter is also strange to say, and if we seriously investigate it, I'm afraid it's just an accident; Bauhinia is used in the medicinal materials, which originally has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, but if it is eaten with rice field eels, it will form a deadly poison."

"I asked them just now. I heard that a Miss Ji was sympathetic to Madam's recent loss of appetite, and specially boiled eel and turtle soup for Madam. This caused Madam to be poisoned unintentionally."

The doctor packed up the medicine box and sighed, "This time it was just an accident, so let people pay more attention to it in the future."

After sending the doctor away, Dongfang Xian immediately took Ji Sulian to an empty room where no one lived, and said harshly with triangular eyes, "Sulian, tell me the truth, this eel and turtle soup is Who taught you to stew?"

Ji Sulian shook off Dongfang Xian's painful hand, raised her head, frowned, and maintained her usual arrogance, and said: "Cousin, no one taught me, I just saw that my aunt didn't want to eat, she wanted to personally Get something to appetize her, I heard that the soft-shelled turtle is nourishing, and eating it with rice field eels is good for Qi, so I stewed this soup... Who knows, I did something bad with good intentions."

"Did you really come up with it yourself? Didn't someone else instigate you?" Dongfang Xian looked at her sideways, and asked again suspiciously. He always felt that her eyes were full of inexplicable guilt.

"Cousin, what do you mean by that? Could it be that I will intentionally harm my aunt?" Ji Sulian was immediately annoyed by his repeated suspicions, and said coldly, "I don't understand medicine at all, so how do I know about rice field eels?" What bauhinia is incompatible with it; besides, what good does it do me to kill my aunt? Cousin, you are too concerned, don’t you think it’s chilling to doubt everything?”

Dongfang Xian stared at her for a while, seeing that she was proud and indignant, and after a while, he couldn't help but doubt: "Su Lian, no one really instigated you? You have to tell me the truth."

"Cousin, that's all I've said, believe it or not!" Ji Sulian snorted coldly, gave him a straight look, and then slammed the door and left.

Seeing her attitude, Dongfang Xian narrowed his triangular eyes for a moment, showing half-belief and suspicion.

The madam was fed with filth, and not long after she spit out what she had eaten before, she woke up faintly; but because of the weak blood, she didn't have the spirit to open her eyes and speak for a while.

After resting for a while, knowing that Dongfang Xian had asked Ji Sulian, she felt relieved, thinking that it was just an accident; but when Mama Rong asked the steward of the kitchen, Madam also began to suspect the accident The poisoning incident came.

After Madam's spirit improved a little, she invited Ji Sulian to her Quanfuyuan, planning to personally intervene in this matter.

When Ji Sulian entered the Quanfuyuan, seeing the gloomy and cold expression of the madam, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly hung up.

"Auntie, do you feel better?" Regardless of whether the madam wants to get angry with her or not, it's definitely not wrong to act obediently first.

The madam saw her cautious and flattering demeanor, she really couldn't vent her full of resentment on her, she just sighed and said: "Su Lian, I know that you have been waking up early and working late at night to serve me these days, doing your best Waiting. I can see your filial piety, and I also know that you are a good boy with a kind heart, but there are some things that I have to ask you because I am afraid that you will be used by someone with a heart. You must not have anything idea."

"Do you know? In my aunt's heart, you are my own daughter. In my heart, I will never suspect you or anything, but I am afraid that you will fall into the trap of some cunning people when you are young."

Having said all this, Ji Sulian knew that if she persisted blindly, she might arouse Madam's resentment and lead to even bigger misunderstandings, so she showed a slightly aggrieved gesture, lowered her head, and said obediently: "My aunt is serious. Su Lian knows how my aunt treats me. If my aunt wants to know, you can ask. As long as Su Lian knows, she will know everything."

"Okay, since you understand, I'll say it directly." Madam smiled slightly, trying to make her gloomy face look kinder, "The manager Li in the kitchen has told me about your usual behavior; of course, I I didn't mean to accuse you, I feel very comforted that you have this kind of intention."

Madam looked at Ji Sulian's embarrassing expression, and immediately comforted her: "I can see your intentions; I'm just worried that you will be used by someone with a heart. I heard that that day, this turtle soup was originally wanted by Xiaoni. Stewed, why did you suddenly think of making this soup for me later on?"

The madam pointed out the inside story directly, and Ji Sulian's drooping face flushed suddenly, but the look of guilty conscience just flashed across her face; she thought for a while, and said: "Auntie, Su Lian knows I'm sorry You are all bad for Su Lian, Su Lian shouldn't be so greedy for petty gain."

Madam let out a breath slowly, her face was slightly cold, and she said: "My good boy, as long as you tell the truth, Auntie will not blame you."

"Auntie, in fact, what happened that day is like this." Ji Sulian suppressed the arrogance at the corners of her brows and eyes, showed a look of shame, lowered her head, slowly recalled the situation that day, and said slowly: "I didn't intend to hear the fourth lady's order. Her personal maid said that she asked the kitchen staff to buy some rice field eels and soft-shelled turtles later. She wanted to cook soup for her aunt herself. "

"I... I shouldn't have been greedy for petty gains for a while. When I went to the kitchen, I saw that the servant had already started stewing eel and turtle soup, so I said it was ordered by the madam, so the fourth lady... I let someone I brought the soup to you, aunt, I didn't expect what would happen later; Su Lian really regrets it!"

"So, it was Xiaoni who was going to give me the stewed eel and turtle soup?" Madam looked at Ji Sulian with a thoughtful expression, and a cold glint appeared in her eyes.

In order to shirk responsibility, Ji Sulian immediately interjected: "Auntie, the soup was originally stewed by the fourth lady who ordered the kitchen staff to cook it. Sulian was just greedy for a while and did something like borrowing flowers to present Buddha. Unexpectedly, it almost caused a catastrophe. Auntie, please forgive……"

"Well, now that the matter has been clarified, I won't blame you, and you are just showing filial piety; well, Su Lian, go down first, I'm a little tired." Madam gave Ji Sulian a look calmly , then lightly sent her out.

After that, Madam asked Dongfang Ni to be passed on to Quanfu Yuan.
