Chapter 298: The Qin Family Again
Pearl directly kicked away the maid's outstretched hand, and warned sternly: "If you want to say anything, just say what you want to do! Don't stain the lady's skirt!"
The maid cried so hard that her nose and tears covered her face, and she continued to scratch with her hands, even if she was bleeding, she did not stop.
She cried and kowtowed: "It's Xiaofeng who is next to Qin. She and the slave are from the same hometown. We happened to meet each other that day when we got the jade cream. It was she who encouraged me to use a small amount secretly. It's such a big jar and I can't see it. It came out. So...slave, I swear, we just scraped off a little bit, and there was no poison at all!"
Upon hearing this, a maid's eyes were full of resentment, and she hurriedly said: "Miss, Miss, I am just a maid from the outer courtyard. I left after giving her the jade cream that day. I am innocent!"
Shen Qingyun gave Hanshuang a look, then she took the one from the outer courtyard and applied the antidote to her.
Not long after, the itching feeling on her arm quickly subsided. The little maid cried and thanked her, and Caixia asked someone to take her away first.
As for the one still kneeling on the ground, she was the second-class maid next to Zhenyang. Caixia slapped her fiercely several times: "You short-sighted bastard, has the princess treated you badly? Who do you think you are? I dare to covet even the princess’s possessions!”
The maid cried so hard that she almost convulsed. Her hands were sore and itchy, which made her beg for mercy again and again: "Sister Caixia, this young lady, I have all been attacked. Please spare me and give me the antidote!"
But Shen Qingyun just glanced at her coldly and walked out with the others.
Even if the antidote is not given, the poison will relieve itself after an hour. Since her hands and feet are not clean, she will naturally be punished.
After walking out of the house, Shen Qingyun said to Caixia: "Go and bring that Xiaofeng."
Caixia nodded bitterly. She really didn't expect that the Qin family had already gone to the family temple, and there were still people in the house trying to kill the princess's children.
Not long after, Xiaofeng was brought by Caixia, but along with her was Mrs. Huang.
Mrs. Huang smiled gently, but her words were very sharp: "Miss Shen, this is not your Duke Shen's Mansion. I am very happy that you are a guest and visit Zhenyang, but you came to the Huang Mansion to interrogate and arrest you selfishly. Isn’t the Huang Mansion’s maid a bit over the top?”
Shen Qingyun glanced slightly sideways and said calmly: "Since I sent the jade cream, now that something happened to Zhenyang, I must find out, otherwise I cannot bear the crime. If Mrs. Huang feels that It's not appropriate for me to do this. It's better to report to the official directly and go to Jingzhao Mansion, otherwise, I'm afraid I really won't be able to let it go."
She smiled, with a thoughtful look in her eyes: "Why does Madam Huang protect this maid so much? Doesn't Madam not want to find out the murderer as soon as possible, or..."
She hesitated to speak like this, which made it seem like Mrs. Huang was harboring evil intentions.
Mrs. Huang did not expect that this little girl Shen Qingyun would speak so ruthlessly. How could the Huang family report to the official if the Huang family wanted to lose face!
Naturally, she would investigate this matter slowly. In her opinion, no one in the Huang family would harm Zhenyang's child. Maybe it was Zhenyang's own fetal image that was unstable. She didn't really believe in the poisoning theory.
To put it bluntly, Zhenyang was pregnant with a girl, and even if she disappeared, it wouldn't actually matter. She just had some time to recuperate, so she could get the next one as soon as possible.
Therefore, Mrs. Huang's attitude has always been tepid.
But at this moment, of course she would not reveal her true thoughts, and could only reprimand her with a downcast face: "Of course the investigation is necessary, but it should not be left to the guests to investigate. Xiaofeng just asked me to take him away. , I will naturally investigate clearly."
When Caixia heard this, she was a little panicked. Mrs. Huang and Huang Mingan always favored the Qin family. This Xiaofeng was the maid next to the Qin family. They would let her go unless everything was found out.
She looked at Shen Qingyun as if asking for help, but she saw that Miss Shen was not panicked at all, and her eyes were still so clear and cold. Although she was smiling, her smile did not reach her eyes. She seemed to be just standing there with a calm expression, but there was a hint of incomprehension. The resilience to compromise.
Caixia's heart suddenly felt much more at ease.
Shen Qingyun slowly spoke: "Today's noisy matters are detrimental to my good reputation. I am so offended."
As she said that, she raised her hand slightly, but in a quick second, Hanshuang stepped forward and grabbed the little phoenix, just like grabbing a mouse.
Madam Huang was shocked. She did not expect that the humble maid next to Shen Qingyun was so skilled. She was about to argue when the maid outside announced: "Madam, the imperial doctor is here, saying that Miss Shen was invited to treat the princess. "
The two had no choice but to avoid the confrontation for the time being and let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat Zhen Yang first.
This doctor Wang was very experienced. Mrs. Huang did not expect Shen Qingyun to be able to invite him. She was a little wary for a moment, but she did not dare to compete with Shen Qingyun for Xiaofeng anymore.
In fact, she was just angry that Zhenyang's friend was in the Huang Mansion and was dominating under her nose. Shen Qingyun wanted to investigate, so let her investigate and see what she could find out.
If nothing can be found out, let's see how embarrassed she is. Mrs. Huang thought to herself.
Here, Doctor Wang has personally seen the jade cream and diagnosed Zhen Yang's pulse.
For decades, he had been used to seeing the concubines in the harem fighting overtly and secretly, with all their vicious methods, but things like this were really child's play for him.
He asked in a low voice: "Did the princess show any signs of a tire slip before?"
Caixia nodded nervously at the side: "The princess accidentally hit her stomach before, but she was resting during this period. Imperial doctor, is it because of this that the princess's child..."
Dr. Wang touched his beard with understanding and began to write down the prescription. He explained in a calm voice: "Don't worry, the princess has a good foundation. It's thanks to the bump before. Otherwise, such a trace amount of toxin is It won’t cause symptoms anytime soon. Now I just need to take some mild medicine.”
He handed the written prescription to Caixia's hand: "Drink it tonight, starting tomorrow, morning, noon and evening, take three pills a day for five consecutive days."
"Okay, okay, I'll take note of it, thank you, the imperial doctor." Caixia excitedly took the prescription and put it away carefully.
At this time, Pearl walked in with her maid and took out a packet of powdery stuff and handed it to Shen Qingyun: "Miss, this was just dug out from under the tree behind Xiaofeng's room. It should have been buried in the past few days. Going down."
It turns out that as soon as the imperial doctor arrived, Shen Qingyun ordered Caixia to send someone to search with Pearl.
Shen Qingyun gave the medicine to Wang Yuyi for examination and confirmed that it was indeed a poison.
Mrs. Huang was a little unbelievable at this result. It was actually Xiaofeng who wanted to murder Zhenyang! And Xiaofeng was the maid of the Qin family. Could it be that the Qin family really led it?
Zhenyang was also surprised by this result. He didn't expect the Qin family to be in such a situation, but he was still restless.
After seeing off Doctor Wang, Shen Qingyun returned to Zhenyang: "Zhenyang, that's all I can help you with. How you deal with it next depends entirely on you."
Zhenyang nodded gratefully: "I understand. Thank you, Shen Qingyun."
