"The tableware is not poisonous, and there has been nothing unusual with the food we've been eating recently. The problem lies with the teapot."
"The teapot used by the eldest young master has been poisoned with a kind of poison that can cause people to go crazy for many years. It has formed a layer of toxic scale, so there is no need to poison it anymore. It can still work, which is very safe."
The physician himself was also terrified and said with great regret, "I wonder who in this mansion wants to harm the eldest young master. Back then, the eldest young master was known as a genius and was famous throughout the capital at a young age. If it weren't for his madness, he would probably already be an assistant to you in the Ministry of Personnel by now."
Lord Jiang naturally knew who wanted to harm him.
The three members of the Wei family—mother and sons—are a unified entity with shared interests, and this jade bottle further illustrates this point.
Ultimately, it was because he spoiled Lady Wei too much that she became so wicked and lawless.
Consider Princess Shouguang. Since marrying into the Jiang family, she has been gentle, respectful, humble, and virtuous, yet she still ended up like this. This is probably largely due to Lady Wei.
He was aware that Lady Wei was targeting Princess Shouguang at every turn, but he thought it was just a squabble between women in the inner quarters, so he didn't interfere much. In addition, he favored Lady Wei and simply turned a blind eye.
But now, Princess Shouguang's health is deteriorating day by day, and Jiang Shijing is still mentally unstable, all of which are related to the Wei family and their two children.
These people went even further, using poison to send the eldest son on his final journey—
Jiang Zhongmao clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles felt like they were about to crack.
This woman, for her own selfish gain, completely disregarded the future of the family. The second and third young masters even poisoned their own brother in their struggle for resources.
Despite his busy schedule, Jiang Zhongmao still went to the government office to ask for a day off.
When he returned, the first thing he did was to replace everyone in Jiang Shijing's courtyard, from those who swept the garden to those who tidied the rooms to the cooks, and he also added many skilled guards.
If the people in the eldest son's courtyard were trustworthy, he wouldn't have ended up going insane amidst all the pursuit and interception.
Of course, there are innocent people among them, but in such cases, it is better to kill the innocent than to let one person escape justice.
Of course, Mr. Wei did not miss such a commotion.
She chuckled. "After all these years, the master has finally realized something was wrong, but it's too late."
The poison had penetrated deep into the young master's internal organs and skull, causing him to become uncontrollably insane.
The second young master even sent a bottle of poisoned wine. Given that alcoholic's penchant for drinking, he's probably already drunk it all. In a few days, we'll hear the news that he's completely lost his mind.
At that point, it would be quite normal for someone to slip and fall into a pond.
She wasn't afraid of Jiang Zhongmao suspecting her, because besides the fact that the Shouguang Princess and her son would be dealt with properly, the bastard child who had ended up in Xiamei Village would also soon be sent to his death.
The family of three from the main wife's side is about to be completely ruined. Even if Jiang Zhongmao harbors resentment, he will have to rely on her two sons to support the family business in the future.
Her daughter's marriage into the Zhong family was another major source of support and reliance for her.
Jiang Zhongmao is getting older and older, does he still dare to try and manipulate her? He's not afraid of being alone and helpless in his old age, he'd be begging her for help.
With the great undertaking about to succeed, Wei felt as if his years of painstaking planning had finally paid off.
"We don't need to worry about what the master is doing, lest we incur his wrath. For now, we should just wait for good news. The current situation is entirely in our favor, mother and son," Madam Wei said to the second and third young masters.
The people sent to Xiamei Village should be arriving soon.
Jiang Zhongmao invited the imperial physicians to treat Jiang Shijing, but Jiang Shijing refused to cooperate with the diagnosis.
Jiang Zhongmao had no choice but to have the imperial physicians prescribe an antidote based on the fact that the limescale in the teapot contained poison.
At the same time, a group of people rushed to Xiamei Village.
They made no attempt to conceal themselves, intending to enter the village directly to kill people and then make a swift and clean escape.
