The couple took Fu Beimo and Meng Li back to the Fu family as quickly as possible.
I hurried into the room and saw that my mother's eyes were closed and her lips were purple.
Yan Funing felt her mother-in-law's pulse and reached out to lift her eyelids.
Fu Beimo waited anxiously on the side, not daring to breathe.
"How is mother?" Fu Ciyi frowned.
"Mother has been poisoned, but the poison is only mild." Yan Funing ordered Caiyu to fetch the medicine box while she explained to the Fu brothers, "This poison is probably a chronic one, and it will take at least ten days to half a month to take effect. Because Mother also had other poisons in her system, the poisons attacked each other, and out of her anger, she vomited blood."
"Does this mean that mother can be saved?" Fu Beimo tightly grasped Yan Funing's sleeve. "Sister-in-law, am I right?"
His brother and sister-in-law are his backbone.
Especially his sister-in-law, he feels at ease as long as she is around.
Yan Funing nodded: "It can be saved. Leave it to me."
“Sister-in-law…”
Fu Beimo suddenly leaned on her shoulder.
Fu Ciyi raised his hand to block it.
"Madam Li, how do you take care of the Madam?" Fu Ciyi said in a deep voice.
Li Ma Ma cried and slapped herself twice: "This old servant is guilty. That woman named A Wen is the problem. It was she who gave Madam water to drink, and that is why Madam vomited blood."
Meng Li said, "Sir, Awen has been locked up in a dark room by Fu Xi."
"I'll leave mother to you." Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing said, turning to look at the two young men, "A strange woman has entered the mansion. You two are responsible for investigating the people involved."
The two teenagers said yes.
Fu Ciyi then walked away.
"Where are you going, husband?" Yan Funing shouted at his back.
"I'll be back soon."
Fu Ciyi left without looking back.
After a moment, he entered the dark room.
It's more like a dungeon than a dark room.
This dungeon was built after the staff of the mansion was replaced, so everything inside is brand new.
Fu Xi saw him coming and bowed, "Sir."
The guard next to him moved a chair for Fu Ciyi to sit on.
"Have you confessed?" Fu Ciyi lifted his robe and sat down, looking at the woman opposite with cold eyes.
"He's keeping his mouth shut and hasn't confessed yet." Fu Xi shook his head.
Fu Ciyi pinched his knuckles, slowly turned the jade ring on his thumb, and instructed Jiang He Hu Hai who followed behind him: "Go catch some snakes and rats."
Four people said yes.
Fu Xi was puzzled: "What are you going to do, sir?"
"Just watch." Fu Ciyi said calmly, "From now on, when I'm not in the mansion, you must be extremely vigilant, otherwise I'll replace you."
Fu Xi quickly agreed.
The young master's meaning was obvious. If he couldn't protect the Fu Mansion, he would have to go back to Nanshan.
In less than half a minute, Jiang He, Hu Hai came back, two of them carrying a bag each.
One bag squirmed, the other leaped, and made a squeaking sound.
It was obvious that the two bags contained different things.
When the doctor heard the sound, she trembled all over.
But she was tied to the table and couldn't move.
"What do you want to do?" she cried. "I really didn't poison you. It's not my fault that the lady is like that."
"Still quibbling?" Fu Hu took out a packet of unused medicine powder and threw it on the table next to her. "Master, this was found in the back room. Master Bei Mo and Ali just found it."
"Tell me, who sent you here?" Fu Ciyi asked again.
His patience is limited.
Doctor Wen shut her mouth tightly.
The prince would beat them severely, so she must not tell anyone.
Fu Ciyi raised his hand lazily and instructed Jiang He Hu Hai: "Cut her a few times, but be sure not to tear her clothes."
The four men received the order, drew out their daggers, rolled up the woman's sleeves and trouser legs, and slashed with their knives, leaving several bloody wounds.
Hear the doctor scream in pain.
She didn't expect that Fu Ciyi was even more vicious than the prince.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" she begged. "I'll tell you!"
Fu Ciyi said calmly, "It's too late."
After saying that, he ordered Fu Xi to cover her mouth.
Doctor Wen's mouth was stuffed with rags and a hemp rope was tied around her face.
Fu Jiang said: "We specifically catch snakes and rats that have been hungry for a long time. They can't find food in the wild, so they will gnaw on hot flesh."
Fu He added: "It's cold today, and snakes and rats like warm places, and people are hot."
Upon hearing this, the female doctor trembled all over and whimpered, but it was useless.
The four men stuffed the snakes and rats into Doctor Wen's sleeves and trouser legs, and tied the sleeves and trouser legs with ropes.
Snakes and rats were running around and biting each other.
It quickly came out from her collar and waistband and was poured back into the bag by rivers, lakes and seas.
"Tell me, who ordered this?" Fu Ciyi asked again.
Fu Xi immediately untied the doctor's mouth.
She said weakly, "It's the Crown Prince. He wants to use your mother's life as a threat to get Master Fu's support."
"You haven't said enough." Fu Ciyi's voice was extremely cold.
"I was the one who administered the poison. It's a chronic poison developed by my adoptive father."
"Who is your adoptive father?"
"Doctor Yang."
"Go on." Fu Ciyi's face darkened.
Doctor Wen continued, "Imperial Physician Yang also came to your house, but was unable to enter. My sister, Doctor Mu, also took action, but not against Madam Fu, but against Master Fu Beimo. She used her body to seduce him, hoping to poison him."
"You want to kill my mother and my brother." Fu Ciyi asked coldly.
"If Master Fu doesn't agree to stand on the Crown Prince's side, the Crown Prince won't give you the antidote. When the time comes, the poison will take effect and you'll die." The doctor begged for mercy, "I've said everything I need to say. Please, Master Fu, spare my life!"
Fu Ciyi stood up and asked, "Where is the antidote?"
