Chapter 644
As he spoke, he looked at the woman, and the corners of his lips curled into a curve without any warmth, "If you are safe and sound after eating everything in the medicine jar, it means that Danbi wronged you, and my wife and I will naturally do it for you. You are the master, and you will not be wronged in vain; on the contrary, if you dare not eat the contents, hey, if a slave dares to poison the master, you can think about the consequences yourself!"

When Danbi heard the words, he turned from anger to joy in an instant, and replied: "Yes, why didn't I think of such a simple method, it's still wise, sir." Excitedly, he went to the kitchen to fetch the medicine jar.

Looking at the woman again, her face became more and more disfigured, and because she lost the support of Danbi's strength, she immediately collapsed to the ground, only trembling, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence: "Master, Mr. There are really no slaves, no..."

Ling Mengqi saw it in his eyes, but he became more and more sure that this woman was not a secret agent inserted into his house by one of his enemies. When he just came out, he found that the woman's eyes were dodging and her whole body was trembling. Knowing that she is guilty, let alone him, as long as someone with a little sharp eyes can see that there must be something wrong with her, if it is really sent by one of his enemies, a person of such quality is better than someone else .

He said that all the servants in his family now have been carefully inspected by Lu Mingxuan and himself, especially him, because he knows that he has many enemies, and it's okay for those enemies to find him. She couldn't even feel at ease in her own home, so he secretly did a lot of homework.

Perhaps those servants who have a little self-consciousness are not without it, and those who dare to murder their master are definitely not. Then why did this woman add something to his medicine?
Feeling preoccupied, Ling Mengqi no longer looked at the woman, but looked at Lu Mingxuan with an apologetic face and said, "I'm sorry Xuanxuan, I surprised you, don't worry, I will investigate the matter as soon as possible. We will not allow this to happen a second time.”

"I'm the one who should say I'm sorry." I don't want the apology on Lu Mingxuan's face to be deeper than his. "It's the duty of a wife to handle the affairs of the house well so that men don't have to worry about the future. But today, because of my dereliction of duty , You were almost murdered in my own home, I was already ashamed and frightened, if you say that again, I will have no place to stand."

After speaking, he looked at the woman, his eyes were like a knife, and his voice was like ice, and said: "Who is instigating you? You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise I have a lot of ways to make you survive or die. Don't forget, sir!" What do you do, and the [-] kinds of torture in the prison are so frightening, don’t you want to try them one by one?”

What she said made the woman tremble more and more like sifting chaff. Just when Danbi came back with the medicine jar, Ling Mengqi took it, looked at it and smelled it, and said coldly: "I think you added something to this jar." What a great thing, it turned out to be nothing more than mere arsenic. I will give you one last chance, will you recruit or not? If you recruit, maybe I can consider saving your life, otherwise, Madam has the patience to let you try I don’t have the patience to try the [-] kinds of torture in the prison, and you don’t deserve it. I only reward you with the contents of this jar. Anyway, I already know that what you added to it is arsenic. You have to follow the clues to find out It is not difficult for me to find out who instigated you."

Instruct Danbi: "Didn't hear what I said, and rewarded the slave with the contents of the pot? I'm confused, I didn't see my wife is still there, don't you know how to drag him out first?"

Before Danbi could answer, the woman heard that what she had added to the medicine pot was actually arsenic, and the most frightening thing was that Ling Mengqi wanted to "reward" her with all the contents in the pot, and she was extremely frightened, Finally couldn't help but collapsed.

She almost screamed and wailed: "I said, I said... my wife instructed me. I didn't know in advance that the thing my wife gave me was arsenic. People who are sick will become weak after eating it, and they can get better in a month, but it will always take three to five months and a half years to get better."

"The wife said that she didn't have any other ideas. She just wanted to make the uncle weaker. The lady, a young daughter-in-law, has seen very few things. Seeing that the uncle has been ill for a long time, she will definitely lose her mind. Then I will invite a few of them. When the elders come back to sit in town, they can take this opportunity to reconnect with the uncle, and talk about the family relationship again, and say that the old lady knows about it... If I know that the stuff in it is arsenic, it will be regarded as an arsenic. If I die, I don’t dare to pick it up, I beg the master and madam to spare the servant this time, the servant will not dare again, dare not again..."

"Madam? Which wife?" Lu Mingxuan couldn't react for a while.

But Ling Mengqi understood, and laughed angrily: "What benefits did Mrs. Zhao give you? Since when did you and her start to have an affair? Now I'm helping you and her in the mansion and Zhuangzi Who is the person passing the message?"

Hearing this, Lu Mingxuan realized that the "wife" in the mother-in-law's mouth was actually Mrs. Zhao, and the first reaction that flashed in her mind was that it seemed that she still underestimated Mrs. Zhao after all. She had nothing, and at that time, Madam Wu was always in charge of Xikuayuan. She shouldn't have the ability to bribe her servants, and her servants wouldn't be stupid enough to be bribed by her.

Unexpectedly, she still underestimated Mrs. Zhao after all, and also underestimated her own servants. Isn't there a vivid and bloody example now? !
With a flash of thought, Lu Mingxuan's eyes were already gouged out to the woman, waiting for the latter to answer Ling Mengqi's question.

The old lady was scared out of her wits now, and immediately emptied the bamboo tube she knew like beans after asking and answering three times, only hoping that Ling Mengqi and Lu Mingxuan would spare her life because of this: "Morning Mrs. Zai, oh no, as early as when Mrs. Zhao was still living in the Xikua Courtyard in the mansion, the slaves were ordered by Madam Wu to serve in the Xikua Courtyard for a few days, and she had already found me. At first, she made friends with me. And to build relationships, I heard that the servant's husband's family name was also Zhao before entering the mansion, and he and the servant called each other Aunt and Auntie..."

Mrs. Zhao was originally resilient, seeing that Ling Mengqi and Lu Mingxuan didn't want to see their big family, even because Mrs. Ling had the cheek to exaggerate her illness repeatedly, she still refused to let them stay, so she started fighting Come up with ideas, such as giving Lu Mingxuan and Ling Mengqi some medicine or something, so that they can never have children, and even let Ling Mengqi die directly, then Ling Mengqi's current family fortune is not all due to her Son, she can go back to the good life before?

It's a pity that the Xikua courtyard is controlled like an iron bucket by Mama Wu. It's difficult for her to even leave the courtyard, so she can only focus on the women who serve them in the courtyard.
