stern wife

Chapter 292

Xiaorou's expression froze, but in an instant it turned sad again, and said:

"What I said is true, why does brother Zeqing refuse to believe me?"

Zhang Zeqing stared at her for a while, Xiao Rou insisted on looking at him, no matter how guilty he was, he never looked away.

Just when she thought that Zhang Zeqing finally believed in her and agreed to go back to eat with her, Zhang Zeqing took a long leg, walked around her side, and strode towards the door.

"Brother Zeqing!"

Xiaorou yelled in panic, and trotted to follow.

The guy who just came back from the kitchen saw this and said anxiously:

"Guest officer, don't leave! The dim sum you ordered has already been made!"

Xiaorou's heart and eyes are full of Zhang Zeqing, where can she hear the buddy's persuasion and calling?

Seeing the two disappearing into the street quickly one after the other, the man who failed to catch up couldn't help but spat fiercely in the direction Xiao Rou left, saying:
"If you don't have money, don't act|force! What the hell!"

After returning to Pei's mansion, as soon as she brought Han Chan into the house, Nanny Pan closed the door.

Pei Xiaoran raised his eyebrows and asked:

"What happened again?"

Mother Pan stepped forward, lowered her head and reported:

"Miss, after drinking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, Ling Yu's condition has become more and more serious. The old slave suspects that there is something wrong with the medicine."

Pei Xiaoran's expression froze, and he subconsciously asked:
"Could it be that the old lady and the people from Cheng's side did something?"

Han Chan thought for a while, shook her head and said:
"I don't think so. If the old lady and Mrs. Cheng wanted to get rid of Ling Yu, they would have killed her long ago, so why send her back to us?"

Nanny Pan glanced at Han Chan, her eyes showed appreciation, she nodded with a smile, and said:
"Miss Han Chan is right, and this old slave thinks so too."

Han Chan lowered her head slightly, a little embarrassed.

After Pei Xiaoran finished speaking, he also thought of this, so he muttered:
"Then...who could it be?"

The doctor in the family has no grievances with Ling Yu, so naturally it is impossible to tamper with the medicine to harm her.

Moreover, the doctors who live in the family are all invited by Pei Xingshan, and it is difficult for ordinary people to bribe them.

The problem must be the girl who delivered the medicine.

Could it be that the girl saw that Ling Yu had offended the old lady, and wanted to get rid of Ling Yu to please the old lady?
No, the old lady has already decided to spare Lingyu's life. Even if this girl kills Lingyu, the old lady will not be happy. Wouldn't it be superfluous to do so?
Or, did Ling Yu know some secret, that someone bribed the girl in charge of delivering her medicine, trying to harm her?

Pei Xiaoran felt that the latter was more likely, so he said:

"Bring that girl, and I will ask her personally."

Nanny Pan replied:
"Yes."

Nanny Pan went out to look for it. Coincidentally, this hour happened to be the time when Ling Yu was taking medicine.

As soon as Nanny Pan left the room, she saw the medicine delivery girl walking in from the courtyard door carrying a bowl of medicine.

She walked in front of the other party, blocked the other party's way, and said calmly:
"Miss has something to do with you, don't rush to deliver the medicine, go into the room and answer."

The girl's name was Chunya, she was a rough envoy in Pei Xiaoran's yard, she was very obedient and obedient on weekdays, so after Ling Yu came back, Nanny Pan gave her the job of delivering medicine to Ling Yu.

Chun Ya was petite and timid, and when she heard the summons from her master, she shook her hands and almost spilled all the soup in the tray.

Nanny Pan grasped the tray with sharp eyes and hands, trying to take it from Chunya's hand.

Chun Ya seemed to have realized something, she held the tray tightly with both hands, and refused to let go.

Nanny Pan didn't force her, she just asked with a half-smile:

"Miss Chunya is so nervous, could it be that there is something wrong with this soup?"

"No, no!"

Chunya immediately denied it. Seeing Nanny Pan gesturing to hand over the tray, she bit her lip and finally handed the tray containing the medicine bowl to Nanny Pan.

Then, she stammered and asked in a low voice:
"Miss, Miss is looking for me, yes, what's the matter?"

Mother Pan shook her head slightly, and said:
"How do I know about the master?"

Seeing that Chunya was still hesitating there, Nanny Pan urged unceremoniously:

"Master is still waiting inside, don't dawdle."

Chunya's face turned pale, and she didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly followed Nanny Pan into the room.

After Fushen saw the ceremony, Pei Xiaoran asked straight to the point:

"Have you always been doing the job of delivering medicine to Ling Yu?"

Chunya lowered her head, hesitated for a while, before waiting for an answer, Nanny Pan said:

"I asked her to do it, and there has been no change in the middle."

Pei Xiaoran nodded, and asked again:
"Did you meet any strange people on the way to deliver the medicine? Or did you do any strange things?"

Chunya tightened her hand holding the handkerchief, and said bravely:
"No, no."

"Oh……"

Pei Xiaoran smiled, his voice was clear and crisp, with a bit of childishness, but what he said made Chunya's expression change almost instantly.

She said:

"Then...you are the one who tampered with Ling Yu's medicine?"

When Chunya heard the words, she fell to her knees with a 'plop', and quickly denied:
"Slave, no servant! Please learn from me, Miss!"

Pei Xiaoran touched his chin and said:

"I heard that Ling Yu's condition is a bit bad recently. I thought someone had tampered with her medicine. Could it be that I misunderstood? In fact, the problem is not in the soup medicine at all?"

Chun Ya nodded again and again and said:

"Miss must have misunderstood! Miss Lingyu's injury is not easy to heal, maybe this medicine is not suitable for her disease, which makes her sicker."

"Is that so..."

Pei Xiaoran seemed to believe her words, and asked again:

"Then what do you mean, there is nothing wrong with this decoction?"

Chunya raised three fingers towards the sky, and vowed:
"My servant can assure you that there is absolutely, absolutely nothing wrong with this decoction."

Pei Xiaoran smiled slightly and said:
"Then since the decoction is fine, let's drink it all for you."

"Ah?" Chunya was taken aback for a moment, then was shocked and said:

"This, this is absolutely impossible!"

"What's wrong, didn't you say that the medicine is fine?" Pei Xiaoran asked innocently:
"Since there is no problem, what are you afraid of?"

"Slave, I'm afraid..." Chunya thought about it, and said:
"The servant is afraid that the medicine will be drunk by the servant, and Miss Lingyu has no medicine to drink. This medicine, but only boiled a bowl..."

Pei Xiaoran waved his hands with a smile, and said:
"You don't have to worry, since this medicine is useless to Ling Yu, then there is no need to drink it anymore, I will ask the doctor to change her medicine."

"But, but," Chunya was sweating anxiously, trying hard to refuse:

"But the servant is not sick, the medicine is [-]% poisonous, and the servant will be sick if he is not sick..."

Pei Xiaoran stretched out three fingers and said:
"What are you afraid of when you're only three-point poisonous? Don't worry if the poison won't kill you. As long as you drink this bowl of medicine, I will believe in your innocence, how about it?"
