Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 404 Mingrong's accusation, Lu's refutation (2)
"Nowadays there are quite a few sick people in the mansion. Did Dr. Chen come from the third sister or the second aunt just now? Since you can't do anything about Ming Yun's poison, go back, maybe the second aunt needs your help."

The aristocratic compound is heavily staffed, and it is certainly impossible to have only one doctor.Today's matter involves dirty struggles in the inner court, and it is not good for Dr. Chen to hear it here.What Qiu Mingyue said was nothing more than giving him a step down.

Dr. Chen is a smart person, so he immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Yes, the old man was just dispensing the medicine for Miss San, and he only prepared half of it. In the past, I will take my farewell."

The old man waved his hand and asked someone to send him out.

He glanced at the third lady again, and the third lady immediately lowered her head and looked down, pretending to be submissive.

"Come here, go and check the houses next to each other. You can't let go of any house in Xiyuan."

"Yes." Immediately someone led the way.

The third lady was not reconciled, and said in a gentle voice: "Father, maybe it wasn't done by someone in the house. Ming Yun has never been out of the house since she was a child, and she only stepped out of the boudoir when she went to Baohua Temple last time. Before that, almost no one had seen her." She, who would harm her? Besides, if it is necessary to investigate, the whole family should investigate, right?" Although her words were tactful, there was no tone of voice that stopped accusing the old man of being partial.

The old man frowned, but Qiu Mingyue stopped her words lightly, "As the third aunt said, the eighth sister was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, not to mention other people, even we, as brothers and sisters, have hardly seen each other. She. Then who is it that poisoned Bamei? If it is really someone from the mansion, then it must be investigated from Xiyuan."

The third lady tried her best to control her anger, and said with a forced smile: "I must investigate, but this matter can be big or small, and it is better to conduct a comprehensive investigation. Otherwise, if there is a commotion in Xiyuan, if the people behind the scenes If people notice it, if the evidence is destroyed, there will be no evidence.”

Qiu Mingyue looked at her with a half-smile, "Third Aunt is right."

The Eldest Master frowned and said, "What makes sense? Now that there are rumors everywhere, if there is such a big movement inside the Qiu Mansion, wouldn't it be even more speculative? Third sister, you have always been reasonable, why do you keep speaking inappropriately today? "

He looked at the third lady strangely, as if he was thinking about why this cowardly and humble younger brother and sister became different today?The third lady's heart trembled when she saw him like that, and she knew that she had really lost her composure today.Forced to smile, "Brother is right, it's my younger sister, I didn't think carefully." After a pause, she asked Ai Ai again: "Ming Yun has been well-behaved and docile since she was a child, but now she is being persecuted like this. I think she looks like this. It really hurts. I..." After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, covered her lips, tears welled up in her eyes, showing the affection of a mother and daughter.

Seeing her affectation, Qiu Mingrong gritted his teeth with hatred, almost wanting to step forward and tear her hypocritical expression apart.

Qiu Mingyue shook her hand secretly and warned her with her eyes.

"Don't forget what our purpose is today, don't be impulsive, a little unbearable will lead to chaos."

Qiu Mingrong shuddered all over, and lowered her eyes to hide the hatred in her eyes.

At this time, the voice of the old lady came from outside the door.

"What's wrong with Ming Yun? I just came from Yun Shu's place, why is Ming Yun not good anymore?"

While talking, the old matriarch had already been helped in by Nanny Han and Chen Xiang, with Qiu Mingqi at his side, another complicated etiquette.

The third lady was slightly surprised when she saw Qiu Mingqi.

"Ming Qi, why are you here?"

Qiu Mingqi said: "I heard that the eighth sister is not good, so I came to have a look." His eyes passed through the crowd, and he frowned slightly when he saw the bloodless Qiu Mingyun lying on the bed.

"Why is Eighth Sister so weak? How could she be poisoned? Have you found out who poisoned her?"

Qiu Mingyue said: "Investigating."

The old matriarch glanced at her, then looked at the old man, the old man, the second master, and said, "Why are you all here?" He asked the third lady again, with a tone of reproach and dissatisfaction.

"What's going on here? Su Ying, tell me, how did Ming Yun get poisoned? How did you become a mother?" Incidents happened one after another in the Qiu Manor, and rumors spread again this morning. She was in a really bad mood, and naturally she didn't look good to anyone.

The third wife lowered her head obediently, "Yes, it's my daughter-in-law's negligence, please punish her."

The third master was afraid that the old matriarch would vent his anger on him again, so he quickly flattered her and walked over.

"Mother, don't be angry, sit down and talk slowly."

The old matriarch glared at him, and said angrily: "It's just that you are all restless, and you make these things all day long, are you trying to make me feel uncomfortable? I think I will be pissed off by you sooner or later."

The third master hurriedly said: "Bah, bah, mother, what are you talking about, two months will be mother's birthday, mother will live a long life, you must not say these unlucky words." While speaking, he naturally went to help the old lady.Chen Xiang immediately took a step away, preventing the third master from touching her hand.

The third master's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he helped the old lady sit down with a shy face.

The old matriarch glanced at him, "You are diligent today, I thought you hadn't gotten up yet." Her eyes dimmed slightly as she glanced at Aunt Ma behind the third master.

Aunt Ma immediately bowed her head, lowering her sense of existence, and now she regrets that she came here with the third master.

The third master was hurt by the old lady in front of so many people, and he was not angry. It should be said that he did not dare to be angry.He just smiled awkwardly and didn't speak.

The old lady looked at Qiu Mingyun and frowned.

"What kind of poison is it that is so powerful? Where is the government doctor?"

The old man said calmly: "Doctor Chen can't cure the poison, I let him go."

The old matriarch whispered, "What? Doctor Chen can't cure this poison?"

The old man's eyes were fixed, "The Ming Yun is a slow poison, and it has been there for many years."

The old matriarch just came from the second lady's place, so she doesn't quite understand the ins and outs of the matter.Seeing this, Qiu Mingjin stepped forward and briefly explained the matter.The old matriarch's expression was very ugly, especially when he glanced at the third lady, he looked a little bitter and disappointed.

The third lady felt a little guilty from that gaze, thinking, could it be that the old lady also suspected her?
The old lady sighed again, "The house is restless."

No one spoke.

The old matriarch looked at Qiu Mingyue again, as if she wanted to say something, finally sighed again, shook her head, her brows were full of exhaustion.

After a while, the servants brought Dr. Li back, his brows and eyes still shining brightly.
