Chapter 108 Poisoning
Chen Wu and Shen Yao had their outburst in Shou'an Hall. They did not return to their own courtyards but stayed with the old lady.
Shen Wan went to Shou'an Hall. Just as she reached the screen, she heard Shen Yao crying, "Mom, my face is itchy..."
"You can't catch it. You must hold it in."
The fourth lady was heartbroken.
The doctor was taking Shen Wu's pulse. Their faces were almost swollen like pig heads. If Shen Wan hadn't recognized their attire, she wouldn't have been able to tell who was who.
The medicine sold by the quack doctor is really powerful.
The doctor held Shen Wu's hand for a long time before letting go. The second wife asked anxiously, "Doctor, why did my daughter suddenly become like this?"
The doctor said, "Looking at the pulse, it's poisoning."
"Poisoned?!"
The Fourth Madam's voice rose, "How could he be poisoned?!"
Chen Wu and Chen Yao went in and out together, ate and drank together, it was impossible that only Chen Wu and Chen Yao were poisoned while Chen Ti and Chen Yin were fine.
The old lady said, "It is important to detoxify them."
As for poisoning, no matter who it is, she will never let anyone off easily once she finds out.
The doctor shook his head. "The poison in these two girls is not ordinary. My medical skills are limited and I cannot cure it. We have to seek help from another doctor."
Originally, the unbearable swelling and itching on Chen Wu and Shen Yao's faces were enough to worry the Second and Fourth Madams. Now that the doctor said there was no solution, their hearts were trembling like sieves.
The doctor was helpless and picked up his medicine box and left.
The old lady said, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"
It was already time for lunch, and everyone was waiting in Shou'an Hall for the imperial physician. The old lady was not in the mood to eat, so Chen Wan did not go to Mingyue Garden. She had originally planned to ask the maid to tell Chen Yu that there was no need to wait for her, but Chen Yu also came to Shou'an Hall.
The imperial physician rushed over and took the patient's pulse, and also said that it was poisoning. Judging from the location of the redness and swelling, it was probably because someone had poisoned the rouge and powder she used.
The maid brought the rouge used by the two of them, and sure enough, it was that.
The old lady glanced at the rouge box and said, "Please ask Dr. Li to detoxify my two granddaughters."
Doctor Li said, "This poison is a mixture of several poisonous herbs. I don't know the dosage and order of mixing. I'm only 20% sure I can cure it. Let me prescribe a prescription and try it."
If the medicine he prescribed could not cure the poison, he would have to find the person who poisoned the food and get the antidote from her.
Doctor Li left the prescription and left.
Seeing that no one spoke, Yun asked, "Where did these two boxes of poisonous rouge come from?"
Unfortunately, no one responded.
I can't tell the Yun family that these two boxes of rouge were sent by the Yun family to Chen Wan, and they took them away.
They won't expose this matter unless it is absolutely necessary.
The old lady sent Yun away and said, "You still have to take care of Yu'er's wedding. They will take care of it here. Go ahead and do your work."
Chen Wan, Chen Yu and Yun left together.
After they left, the old lady sent the others away and asked, "Where did these two boxes of rouge come from?"
If Yanzhi was fine, they would have said it long ago, and there was no need for Yun to ask at all.
The second lady didn't say anything, and the old lady looked at the fourth lady.
The Fourth Madam said, "It was sent by the Yun family a few days ago..."
The old lady almost couldn't hold back her breath, "Are you trying to piss me off to death?!"
"Doctor Li only has a 20% chance of detoxifying the poison. If he can't, where are you going to get the antidote?!"
A 20% chance of success is not much different from having no chance at all.
The old lady was so angry that her vision went dark.
After Chen Wan and the others left Shou'an Hall, Yun went back, and Chen Wan and Shen Yu went to Mingyue Garden.
Shen Yu did not ask about the poisoning of Shen Wu and Shen Yao. After Shen Wan found out that the incense was poisoned, he told Shen Yu the truth. At that time, he decided to let them taste what it felt like to be silent. She just saw it.
She stole Chen Wan's carrier pigeon, went to the Yun family in Chen Wan's name to steal the painting, and replaced the poisoned incense with them. Chen Wan dug a trap for them, but they jumped into it themselves. No matter how kind-hearted Chen Yu was, she would not feel sorry for everyone.
Those people are not just taking advantage of the eldest son's family, they are shameless.
It is indeed time for them to learn a lesson.
Chen Wan and Shen Yu ate and talked at the same time, their moods unaffected, but the old lady over there had difficulty swallowing her food. She brought back the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, and Shen Wu and Shen Yao took it, but there was no sign of improvement. She invited two more imperial physicians, but neither of them could detoxify them.
She took a lot of medicine, but not only did it not work, it became more and more serious. When the maid wasn't paying attention, Shen Yao scratched several marks on her face.
The Fourth Lady had no other choice but to go find the Old Lady. The Old Lady had no other choice but to call Yun over.
The old lady said, "Wu'er Yao'er's crime this time was borne on behalf of Wan'er."
This sentence made Yun frown, "Where did you get this from?"
The old lady said, "Those two boxes of rouge were sent by the Yun family for Wan'er to use."
Swish.
Yun's face was so gloomy that you could almost squeeze water out of it.
There was no one else in the room at the time, and the old lady's words were so shameless that Yun Shi could no longer tolerate it. "Old lady, do you mean Wan'er should thank the third and sixth ladies for secretly taking the rouge that the Yun family gave her?!"
The old lady's face froze. "This matter cannot be explained in a few words. Those two boxes of rouge were sent by the Yun family, but they were not written on the gift list. The servants were afraid that the Yun family had sent the wrong ones, so they kept the two boxes of rouge and planned to ask for clarification first. The maids in the front yard thought that Wu'er and Yao'er had bought them and sent them from the rouge shop, so they gave them to them. By the time they realized it was the wrong one, they had already opened it and used it..."
The old lady tried her best to excuse Shen Wu and Shen Yao, but Yun knew exactly what was going on.
Yun said coldly, "What I did as the Duke's wife was really just a decoration. The rouge that the Yun family sent to Wan'er was sent to the wrong person, and I was kept in the dark."
"Even if the third and sixth girls opened the rouge and used it, they should have told me, right? If it weren't for the problem with the rouge, I don't know how long I would have been kept in the dark!"
The old lady said, "Once the poison is cured, I will punish them severely. The most urgent thing is to find out what happened to the rouge. How could the rouge given to Wan'er by the Yun family be poisoned?"
The old lady didn't suspect that the Yun family had poisoned Shen Wan. She knew very well how much the Yun family loved Shen Wan.
Although Yun was very angry, she decided to investigate the matter and immediately sent a maid to the Yun family to inquire.
The maid returned quickly and told Yun, "Madam, I went to the Yun family to ask, and they didn't send rouge to the mansion. They only sent incense and the items on the gift list..."
The old lady's face changed drastically, and her voice trembled, "The rouge was clearly among the things sent by the Yun family, how could it not be a gift from the Yun family?!"
The maid whispered, "That's what the Yun family said..."
Yun said, "The Yun family is going to give it, and they won't deny it. Besides, the Yun family has drawn up a gift list for the things they are sending, and the Yun family's servants wouldn't be so careless as to leave Rouge out of the list."
The old lady asked anxiously, "Where did those two boxes of rouge come from?!"
Mother Sun speculated, "Maybe the second young lady offended someone, and someone wanted to harm her, so they mixed rouge with the things sent by the Yun family and sent it to the mansion..."
Not ruling out this possibility, Yun said, "If those two boxes of rouge were to reach Wan'er and she discovered they weren't on the gift list, she would definitely send someone to the Yun family to inquire about it. She would definitely not use them without first asking for clarification."
Yun refused to admit that he had suffered for Chen Wan.
After saying this, Yun got up and left.
