Chapter 283 Poisoning the Old Lady
Mrs. Qian hurriedly brought the old lady's remaining lunch and tea.
The doctor checked and shook his head.
"It's not these," he turned his head and looked at the jade bracelet on the old lady's wrist: "Please take it off and let me have a look."
As it was related to her life, the old lady naturally did not dare to delay, but she really had no strength, and only blinked slightly. Mrs. Qian understood, took the bracelet off her wrist, and handed it to the doctor.
The doctor put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and then took something and rubbed it on the bracelet. The bracelet, which was originally delicate and transparent, suddenly turned black.
Someone exclaimed, and the doctor said to Jiang Zhaorong: "That's it. This is a chronic poison that has accumulated over time and has caused the old lady to suddenly become ill."
Jiang Zhaorong's face was deep: "But is there any other way?"
The doctor sighed: "My medical skills are not good, I can only give it a try, but don't worry, the old lady will not be in danger for a short time. During this period, you have to find another famous doctor."
Jiang Zhaorong bowed, and the doctor quickly stood up to return the greeting, and then went out with the medicine box. As
soon as he left, Jiang Zhaorong sat down beside the old lady's bed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were extremely cold.
The people in the room didn't dare to speak, and at this moment, Du Yuelan suddenly exclaimed.
"Prime Minister, the old lady seems to have something to say."
Jiang Zhaorong was slightly startled, turned his head and saw the old lady staring at the blackened jade bracelet, her lips trembling.
Jiang Zhaorong's eyes flashed with a trace of disgust.
"Come here," Jiang Zhaorong called Mrs. Qian: "Listen to what she is saying."
Mrs. Qian knelt and crawled to the old lady's bed, leaned over and put her ear to her lips.
"Bracelet... Xu, Xu... send... send someone..."
Mrs. Qian repeated, her eyebrows wrinkled more and more, what does it mean?
After reciting it several times, Mrs. Qian still couldn't make a sentence, and whispered: "Old lady, please speak slowly and clearly."
The old lady closed her eyes fiercely and didn't open them for several seconds.
Du Yuelan closed her eyes, a cold look flashed across her eyes, and she seemed to be puzzled and asked: "Old lady, do you mean that this jade bracelet was sent by someone when Xu Youran was alive?"
Everyone had different expressions. Jiang Zhaorong looked at the old lady, only to see that she kept blinking and shaking her head slightly, as if she agreed with her words.
Jiang Zhaorong's inquiring eyes fell on Du Yuelan, who lowered her head slightly, as if she didn't notice.
"Even if she gave it to me, it doesn't mean she was the one who poisoned me," Jiang Zhaorong said coldly, not caring about the surprised looks of the crowd, and said directly: "Don't mention this matter again, you all should be smart, don't spread this matter." Everyone
answered in unison, Jiang Zhaorong looked up at Du Yuelan: "You are finally pregnant, it is important to take care of your body."
Du Yuelan nodded slightly, Taohong didn't say anything, she saw Jiang Zhaorong's eyes move from Du Yuelan to herself.
"You too, you are about to give birth, so stay in the house and recuperate, don't go out."
Taohong's face twisted slightly, and she tightened her hands in her sleeves: "Yes."
Jiang Zhaorong gave another instruction, got up and left, and when he left, he also took the bracelet on the table away.
Tao Hong and Du Yue Lan looked at each other and left one after another.
After leaving the house, Du Yuelan's personal maid Bai Zhi said softly: "Madam, if the Prime Minister really doesn't want to pursue the matter, won't all our plans be in vain?"
"Then find a way to let him pursue it."
Du Yuelan's eyes flashed: "He is still thinking about Xu Youran. I don't know when Xu Youran will give in and be welcomed back in grand style. What should I do?"
Bai Zhi supported her and said hesitantly: "But, Xu and her children have been removed from the family tree..."
"For a mother, the most important thing is her children. There is no mother who doesn't worry about the future of her children," Du Yuelan interrupted her slowly: "Although she has a father who is a grand tutor, if Xu Yanli has any path, he will definitely think of his children first, not Xu Youran."
"Otherwise, Jiang Kangan has recovered for so long, why hasn't the emperor given him a position, but Xu Yaowen, who is far away in Jinzhou, was promoted instead?"
Bai Zhi suddenly realized.
"So, Xu Youran will definitely give in for Jiang Kangan. It's just a matter of time. Before that, I must block her way," Du Yuelan said with a smile. "As for that little bitch Taohong, her identity is destined to prevent her from becoming a madam. How to deal with her in the future is just a matter of my words."
"Madam is really smart," Bai Zhi complimented, "But, that Jiang Zhiyu..."
When mentioning Jiang Zhiyu, the hatred in Du Yuelan's eyes was chilling, "She is just a lunatic! I don't know how the Xu family brought her up. I want to see how she can go crazy after such a scandal!"
...
Jiang Zhaorong ordered people not to spread the matter for a long time, but the opposite happened. The next day, the news that Xu Youran poisoned the old lady spread throughout Shengjing.
Xu Youran had been at the farm in the east recently, and she happened to be away when the news reached the Xu Mansion.
Tan Shujing was full of anger: "He's already been divorced, but he's still so restless. I told you long ago that he's not a good person, but you didn't believe me!"
Xu Yanli sat beside her and comforted her: "Don't be angry, take care of yourself, I will handle this matter properly, don't worry about it."
Tan Shujing breathed a sigh of relief: "What do you mean I don't need to worry about it? Don't bother me. Today I will go to the prime minister's mansion and ask how my daughter poisoned that old lady!" "
Poisoned, who did she poison, what did she poison?"
Tan Shujing was angry and naturally didn't control her voice. Xu Yanli was busy coaxing her and didn't pay attention to the outside for a while. Jiang Zhiyu happened to pass by and heard the quarrel in the house. She walked up and heard the last sentence.
Xu Yanli and Tan Shujing both looked a little embarrassed. Jiang Zhiyu looked at them suspiciously. Tan Shujing sighed and grabbed her hand: "Why don't you sleep a little longer today? It's no big deal, your grandfather will take care of it."
"The weather is nice today, so let's go out for a walk. If there's nothing else, I'll go out."
"Where are you going?" Tan Shujing was a little nervous.
The news is now spreading everywhere. If Zhiyu goes out and hears it, it will be terrible.
"Go to the vegetarian restaurant. I heard that they have some new cakes today. I will go and take a look."
Jiang Zhiyu said
casually. Tan Shujing and Xu Yanli looked at each other and hesitated to say, "Does it have to be today?"
