Chapter 27 The Truth Comes Out
"What did you say, you actually said that amaranth was not eaten in the bird garden for lunch?" the eldest madam shouted angrily.

Seeing the embarrassment and anger of the eldest lady, Suxian sneered, "Mother, what's the matter with you, could it be that you wish you had amaranth for lunch in the bird garden?" The embarrassing lady turned around and said to the old lady, "Old lady, Qian'er, please send someone to go to Sparrow Garden, and bring back the amaranth that Xiangcao brought back today, and you will know that Qian'er is lying."

The old lady was a little confused at this time, if it is true that the amaranth was not used for lunch in Queyuan, then what happened to the poisoning of Shujian, she didn't care too much, and immediately ordered Mother Yue to go to Queyuan to check it out.

At this moment, San Yiniang was crying so badly, she couldn't find the cause of the disease, and she couldn't talk about curing it. Now Shujian was her only support. If there was a mistake, all her hopes would be shattered.

Among them, the doctor was the calmest, and there was a commotion in the room. The doctor approached Shujian calmly, and carefully observed the large puddle of vomit next to the bed.The room was not that big, and the filth all over the place made the room emit an unpleasant sour smell.

Lin Zhilan couldn't help covering her breath with silk, frowning slightly and turning her eyes to the side, deliberately not looking at the disgusting filth.

Although Shujian is Lin Yinglu's younger brother, facing such a messy environment, she couldn't hold her breath any longer, she moved lightly towards the window in order to breathe the fresh air outside the room.Even the third aunt couldn't help telling the servants, "Come here, clean up this place quickly, so as not to embarrass the old lady."

The old lady really cared for Shujian, although the smell was suffocating, she still shook her head again and again, and murmured sadly, "Oh, if Jianer can recover, it's no harm to smoke my old lady to death."

The eldest lady shouted to the servants with a look of disgust on her face, "Hurry up, after cleaning up, I will fetch a bucket of water to clean the ground."

Seeing the various attitudes of the crowd, Suxian couldn't help shaking her head secretly, everyone in the room was boasting that they loved Shujian, but apart from the old lady, even the mother-in-law, San Yiniang, why not implicitly despise her.

"Wait!" Suxian shouted anxiously, raising her hand to stop Xia He who went to get the broom outside the room, striding towards the bed regardless of the unpleasant smell, squatting down to carefully look at the vomit, which was mixed with vegetables. White flakes in the juice.

"What are you doing?" the old lady asked in surprise.

Suxian didn't have time to reply, she stretched out her slender fingers as if turning a blind eye to the dirt on the ground, gently picked up a small white particle from the dirt, and rubbed it gently with her fingers.

"Ah. It's disgusting. A bitch is a bitch, to be interested in such filth." Lin Yinglu finally couldn't help crying.

Ling Zhilan even felt her stomach churning, covered her lips with disgust, and retched non-stop.

Only Lin Ruxue's complexion was a little better, and she turned to the maid next to her and said, "Hurry up and fetch water, and let Second Sister wash her hands later."

"Jin Dou, tell the truth, what else did the Second Young Master eat today?" Suxian carefully looked at the fine grains between her fingers, then turned her head and said sternly to Jin Dou, Shujian's personal servant.

Jin Dou's calf softened in fright, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, and said tremblingly, "No. I haven't eaten anything else." Although Jin Dou didn't admit it, the panicked expression on his face betrayed him. thought.

"You still don't admit it, are you trying to kill your master?" Suxian became more and more annoyed, and continued to shout, "If your master has an accident today, you will definitely not survive. If you tell the truth, it will save you The master turned the danger into a bargain, maybe he will forgive the crime and suffer less punishment!"

Jin Dou is not very old, only three years older than Shujian, and this year is less than ten years old, so he and Shujian are the most in tune with each other. The two of them are in a relationship of master and servant, but in fact they climb trees together to dig out bird eggs. Picking up stones, playmates playing hide-and-seek on the rockery, there is probably no place in Ruoda's Lin Mansion without their footprints except the roof.Because Shujian is very active, as long as he doesn't go out of the house to mess around, the old lady will let his master and servant to toss about, just because Shujian is less lonely, and there is a servant who plays with him and has a similar temperament with him. Always good.

Jin Dou's expression also made the old lady suspicious, and immediately asked nervously, "Jin Dou, tell me, did Jianer eat something that shouldn't be eaten? If you hide it and don't report it, I'll have someone sell you later Give me a child, and I will never return to my residence!"

When the old lady spoke, Jindou's small face paled with fright and cracked her mouth and began to cry. She twitched Dada and said, "Back to the old lady, it's not that the slave deliberately concealed it, yes. It was the second young master who forbade it. He said that if I told Others, don't be slaves."

"Confused, tell me what he ate?" Suxian looked at the under ten-year-old child in front of her, and shouted anxiously and angrily.

"Today, the servant followed the second young master out of the sparrow garden, and went to the ginkgo forest opposite the lotus pond to collect bird eggs. The second young master saw a lot of ginkgo fruits hanging on the ginkgo tree, so he asked the servant to go up the tree to pick them. I picked a lot of them.” As he spoke, Jin Dou looked at the old lady timidly, and continued with a guilty conscience, “When I was in my hometown, I used to cook and eat ginkgo nuts with my friends in the village. It's very fragrant. The slave was quick to talk, so he said this way of eating. The second young master was interested, so he insisted on trying it. The slave didn't dare to go against the second young master's wishes, thinking that he had eaten it before, So I brought firewood and burned ginkgo nuts in the woods."

Having said that, Jin Dou didn't dare to continue, his lips twitched slightly, his eyes were full of horror as he glanced at the extremely weak Shu Jian on the bed, and burst into tears again, "But Second Young Master How could it be like this, the slaves have eaten like this before, and nothing happened, what happened today."

Suxian understood immediately, and asked in a deep voice, "Jindou, have you eaten ginkgo fruit today?"

"The slave tasted one, and seeing how delicious the second young master's food was, he held back his mouth, and just cooked it and peeled the shell for the second young master. The second young master ate a lot." Having said this, Jindou no longer concealed the truth. , simply poured beans out of the bamboo tube, and confessed all the story of the two bastards stealing their mouths.

"Doctor, you should know how to diagnose and treat at this time, right?" Suxian smiled and said to the doctor sideways. Catkin.

The eldest lady asked dissatisfied, "Since amaranth was never used in the bird garden for lunch today, why did you not stop Jianer from using the vegetable juice just now, but let him drink the jerky thing. Are you trying to torment Jianer on purpose?"

"What did mother say?" Suxian said in a low voice, "just now you all competed to convict Xian'er, and who gave Qian'er a chance to speak. Besides, although Jian'er is not a leek Poisoning, but judging by the symptoms, it must be that he has eaten something else by mistake. The macaroni juice not only has the effect of detoxifying the poison of amaranth and turtle, but also achieves the purpose of inducing vomiting. It is related to the life of the athlete. If the athlete ignores it Wouldn't it delay Jian'er's illness even more by arguing with you about what's right and what's wrong. After all, compared to Jian'er's life, it's nothing for Qian'er to be misunderstood!"

Suxian finished speaking in one breath, and then gave the eldest lady a meaningful look. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she gently opened her red lips and said, "Xian'er has always believed that the pure will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. Ask yourself No shame, how can you be afraid that others will make mistakes!"

After speaking, the choked lady's face turned blue and white, and she turned back heavily to sit on the moon bench, angrily ignoring Suxian.

The doctor nodded with a smile, looked at Suxian with admiration, and at the same time quickly took out a small white porcelain bottle from Yaoxiang, poured out a dark brown pill, and said to the third aunt, " Quickly let the second young master take it."

Then he turned around and said to the old lady, "Back to the old lady, there are many white grains in the thing that the second young master vomited, and the white grains are just chewed ginkgo nuts, and the second lady has also verified it with her own hands. Looking at it this way Come on, the second young master must have eaten the uncooked ginkgo fruit by mistake. The fruit is poisonous if eaten raw, even if it is half-cooked, if you eat too much, you will be in danger of life. , and vomited a lot. Then take the bowel cleansing pills prepared by the old man to remove the residual poison in the body, and you will be fine after two days of rest."

After finishing speaking, the doctor looked back at Suxian approvingly, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Second Miss is meticulous, not afraid of dirt, and personally checks it with her own hands. I am ashamed of the old man who has been a doctor for several years. Second Young Master has such a sister Asylum will surely bring good luck and turn danger into safety in case of disaster, it is really the blessing of old lady to have such a smart granddaughter."

After taking the pills, Shujian lay back on the bed quietly, breathing more evenly, and the old lady's mood suddenly improved. At this time, seeing the highly respected doctor in the city praise her disciples so much, she was naturally elated.You must know that this doctor has countless patients in his medical practice, and there is an endless stream of people who see a doctor and consult a doctor in his medical clinic every day.Although he was only praising Suxian at this time, in the eyes of outsiders, he was praising the girls of the Lin Mansion.Such a good reputation, no one is happy to accept it.

"Haha, the doctor was joking, come here, hurry up and get the consultation fee from the account room, I want to thank the doctor very much." The old lady finally showed a rare smile on her face, raised her hand and waved at Suxian in a daring manner. He called out, "Xian'er, come, come to grandma."

This soft call didn't matter, the faces of Lin Zhilan, Lin Yinglu and others present were full of surprise, and the eldest lady stared at Suxian fiercely with eyes full of hatred.

"Old madam." With a smile on her face, Suxian came to the old madam in a gentle manner, gave her a deep blessing, and stood respectfully.

"Don't detain me. Thanks to you today, Jian'er saved his life. You were wronged by the misunderstanding just now. In the future, you don't have to call me old lady, but you can call me grandmother like Jian'er?" The old lady pulled me away with a smile. Suxian, caressing her thin shoulders, a flash of guilt suddenly flashed in her heart: This girl was innocent at first, but because she had a mother with a low status, and Mo Cheng did not hesitate to contradict herself in order to marry her mother back then, That made me vent my anger on her.Now that many years have passed, her mother has passed away long ago, and Mo Cheng's life and death are unpredictable. As a grandmother, how can she keep worrying about the events of the past and make herself unhappy.

The old lady was a little distracted, her thoughts turned back and forth, and she looked at Suxian again with a trace of pity in her expression, lightly holding the other's thin shoulders, and said warmly to Suxian who was stunned and hadn't recovered from her strength, "Remember, I will call my grandmother with Shujian in the future."

"Ah?! Yes. Yes." Suxian finally cleared her mind, and immediately felt flattered, "Yes, grandma. Mother, Xian'er obeyed."

The title of "grandmother" is so simple in other people's homes, but it is a symbol of extreme favor in the Lin family.The old lady has always favored sons over daughters, and the male heirs of the Lin family all call her grandmother, while the daughter, the old lady thinks that she is always going to marry into another family, and she is an outsider after all, so she can only call her old lady according to the etiquette.This unwritten rule has existed in the mansion for an unknown number of years, and over time everyone has gotten used to calling it this way.

But today, the old lady broke the rules and allowed Suxian to call herself a grandmother. This kind of honor is more enviable than rewarding gold, silver and jewelry. , you have to weigh the old lady behind you first.

At this time, Mother Yue was ordered to return from Queyuan, holding a handful of bright red amaranth tied with straw ropes in her hand, and she replied to the old lady, "Back to old lady, there is indeed an unopened handful in the small kitchen of Queyuan. A bunch of amaranth."

Before Yue's mother could finish speaking, the old lady waved her hand with a smile, looked at Suxian lovingly, and said softly, "Forget it, needless to say, I understand that this matter has nothing to do with Xian'er. Don't gossip about this matter, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Mother Yue looked at the old lady who had changed instantly in astonishment, and stepped aside respectfully.

　Then... the same old saying, hehe.You know, ha!
