Chapter 5
She looked at Lian Sheng and said, "Husband means to doubt me? What motive do I have? I am the daughter of the Taifu and the mistress of the General's Mansion, so I don't have to worry about someone taking my position, not to mention that I have devoted myself to worshiping the Buddha these years. It's really sad that the general is so suspicious!"

As he spoke, he covered his heart, looking extremely uncomfortable, but out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Nanny Zhong.

Lian Sheng has always been outspoken and not good at verbal disputes, so he yelled at the door: "Come on!"

A row of soldiers with knives came in, they were his personal soldiers raised in the mansion.A group of people surrounded the mourning hall, and Lian Sheng said: "Find Cheng Qing for me." He didn't even look at Shen Shulian, and said: "Send Madam and Missy back to the room so that I can take care of them. As for you ..."

He turned to Grandma Zhong, he felt that she was wrong just now, there are so many people in this room, faced with such an emergency, why was she paralyzed on the ground in fright?Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, this Nanny Zhong must have ghosts.He frowned and thought of another thing, so he said to the soldier beside him: "Take her and the servants in Da Furen's room together, and imprison her for now."

Shen Shulian's face turns blue and turns pale. She never expected that Lian Sheng would be so merciless and detain her in front of his servants. Does he still have her as his wife in his eyes?In his eyes, is there still Master Tai Tuo?

She was shaking with anger, no longer caring about everyone's demeanor, and said bitterly to Lian Sheng: "General, do you really want to do this? For an unwarranted crime, are you going to imprison my wife as a sinner!"

Lian Sheng said: "Take it down!"

Lian Jin has been by the side, quietly watching the development of the situation.Although he already knew that his mother had been poisoned, he still struggled to see his mother's remains again.She had no expression on her face, although she felt the resentful gazes of Shen Shulian and Lian Qinru, she still stood by the coffin without even looking at them.

After about a stick of incense time, a soldier rushed to report that Dr. Cheng had been invited.

A grunt of dissatisfaction sounded, and the sentence could be vaguely heard: "It's so late, and no one is allowed to sleep..."

A moment later, a man walked in with a fair face, and a mole full of tears under his left eye embellished his slightly pale face with a bit of coquettishness.It's just that he really didn't pay attention to his appearance, Xu Shi just got up from the bed, his clothes were scattered, apparently he put them on casually.

This person is the most prestigious doctor in Shangjing, Cheng Qing.It may not be accurate to say that he has the best medical skills, but this person is proficient in poisons. It is rumored that there are only poisons he has never seen in this world, and there is no poison that he cannot cure.That's what made him famous.

It is inappropriate to disturb people late at night, not to mention Cheng Qing's bad temper is well known, and his status is as noble as the general of the town, so he should be respected.

Lian Sheng apologized and said, "It's really Lian's fault for bothering Doctor Cheng late at night. It's just that something happened suddenly, and Lian desperately needed an answer, so he had to do it."

Cheng Qing rolled his eyes in his heart, he spoke better than he sang, and sent a team of soldiers to knock on the door of his house in the middle of the night, would he dare not come?But the winning streak has already lowered his stance, and he can't say anything more.Su Rong said: "What happened?"

Lian Sheng said the matter again.

Cheng Qing took a step forward, walked to the coffin and inspected Dong Yuerong's remains carefully.He lifted her eyelids, checked her tongue, thought for a moment, removed her bun, brushed her hair back with her fingers, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Lian Sheng was displeased and said, "Doctor Cheng, why are you laughing?"

Cheng Qing seemed to have just realized that this was above the mourning hall. He looked up and saw Lian Jin on the opposite side. He was slightly taken aback, then turned to Lian Sheng and said, "General, the second lady was indeed poisoned. The poison is called Lian Jin." Killing, and the poison is secreted, it seems to be a long time ago, it should be mixed in the daily food. It is colorless and odorless, so it is difficult to detect." He paused, turned his face, and saw Lian Jin thinking He said, "It would not have been discovered originally, but by coincidence, the second lady used a willow coffin."

He patted the coffin, and then everyone turned their attention to the material of the coffin, which was made of willow wood. Shen Shulian really planned carefully, even the coffin would not spend a cent more!
Cheng Qing went on to say: "There is a medicinal material in the lotus that conflicts with this willow. The weather is hot, and this willow is newly made. It is inevitable that there will be a smell. It is the toxin that was originally colorless and odorless. All of them are revealed. You see."

He brushed Dong Yuerong's hair aside, there were gray and white lines winding in between, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.

Lian Jin said: "Does Doctor Cheng know where this poison comes from?"

Cheng Qing smiled slightly, "It's because of my inferior talent."

There was an awkward silence in the hall.

Lian Sheng said: "Doctor Cheng can sell such harmful things at will!"

Cheng Qing waved his hands with a look of indifference, "General Lian invited me here today, so he must know who I am. I am good at poison, and the poison I make will naturally be sold. If someone buys it at a high price, I will be happy to sell it. As for the usage, it is not within Cheng's control."

"you!"

Lian Sheng glared at him angrily, his eyes were about to burst into flames.Thinking about the poison that my wife was poisoned by the person in front of me, I wish I could kill him immediately.

In contrast, Lian Jin was much calmer.She said hoarsely: "Then Doctor Cheng, do you still remember the person who came to buy medicine?"

Cheng Qing glanced at her appreciatively, and said: "This medicine is expensive, and few people have bought it over the years. Since this matter happened because of me, Cheng will identify it for you."

Lian Jin's heart skipped a beat, this Cheng Qing, whether in appearance or demeanor, was full of frivolity.If you don't want to have a clear mind, you can get through at one point.His eyes rolled around, with a strong sense of probing, which caused her to subconsciously avoid them.

On that side, Lian Sheng had ordered someone to bring him up.

Shen Shulian and Lian Qinru stood at the front, Shen Shulian's face could no longer be seen, but Lian Qinru's face was pitiful, she clearly didn't know what happened, as if she was frightened by such a battle, she looked at it with tears winning streak.

Behind, stood a group of servants.Almost all the servants at home were called over, and Nanny Zhong stood in the middle, her head lowered as much as possible.

Lian Sheng saw her at a glance.

Nanny Zhong is an old man who married Shen Shulian.

In the early years, Lian Sheng was single and weak in the court. When he first married Shen Shulian, he was angry and never went to the new house on the wedding night.At that time, it was this old servant who was full of arrogance in his mouth and eyes, and he tried to pretend to be earnest, explained his interests to him, and "taught" Lian Sheng to treat his wife well.

For so many years, relying on her status as an old man, she acted like a housekeeper in the general's mansion.

Immediately shouted: "Hold me up!"

Lian Sheng has been in the army all year round, and he already has the aura of not being angry and arrogant. Now he shouted loudly, and Nanny Zhong trembled in fright, and almost fell to the ground again.Trembling, he raised his head, met Cheng Qing's playful gaze, and immediately averted his gaze.

Cheng Qing yawned, pointed to Nanny Zhong and said, "That's her."

Nanny Zhong's legs softened a bit, and she said, "Doctor Cheng, I've never seen you before, how can you spout blood!"

Cheng Qing waved his hand, and said as he walked towards the door: "That's all for now, I'm going back to sleep, see you later."

There was a dead silence in the hall.

Lian Sheng said: "Take down this poisonous woman!"

Almost immediately, two large knives were placed around his neck.Grandma Zhong still forced herself to calm down and said: "General, don't listen to the villain's words, I am from the Taifu's residence, how could I do such a thing!"

Lian Jin stared at her coldly, even in such a field, he was still emphasizing the Grand Tutor's Mansion behind him.She lowered her eyes, and her long, curly eyelashes cast a gentle shadow under her eyes.When she raised her eyes again, her eyes were so clear and charming that Nanny Zhong's heart trembled, and she immediately thought of the weird scene in the mourning hall earlier.
