The old lady returned to her own courtyard and observed Nanny Lin's every move calmly, but found nothing unusual.
Seeing her coming back, the old Duke couldn't wait to drive everyone away and asked impatiently: "How is it? Did your granddaughter tell you any earth-shattering news today?"
"have."
The old lady told her everything that Yang had told her, as well as Chu Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts.
The old Duke's face was visibly ugly: "The woman that Zhinan likes is not simple!"
"It's not just simple, it's extremely vicious." The old lady was furious, "He actually bribed the people around me to poison me. If it wasn't for my granddaughter's reminder, I probably wouldn't have discovered it until I died."
"This is God's protection for the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion. Xiaoxiao must be a fairy from an extraordinary background." The Duke of the Guardian looked at his old wife, "How are you going to deal with Nanny Lin's matter?"
She was the dowry of the old wife, and she seduced him when she was young, but he never said anything and warned her harshly. The old wife didn't know about this, and Nanny Lin didn't pester him anymore.
However, she fell in love with a man, asked her wife to help her, and she married him and gave birth to two sons.
The eldest is a businessman, the second passed the imperial examination and lives a good life, but she is also an old lady who orders servants around at home.
His old wife had always wanted to let her go home to retire, but she always disagreed and always liked to stay in the house and serve.
I used to think she was grateful, but now it seems not necessarily. How sincere can she be if she attacks the master who has been with her for a lifetime?
"Don't worry about it. Go to the study and sleep tonight! I have my own plans."
The old Duke had no objection to his wife's words.
Nanny Lin went home yesterday for the day off and will not be here until this afternoon.
The old lady sat down and thought carefully, then went to the room where she slept. When a maid saw her, she said she missed Nanny Lin.
The little maid was extremely envious and felt that the old lady was so nice to Nanny Lin that she would go to her room to sit when she didn't see her for a day off.
Pushing open the door of the room where Nanny Lin lived, the old lady closed it casually and looked around at the bed, table, couch and cabinet in the room.
**There were folded quilts, pillows and a pair of shoes under the bed.
Nanny Lin grew up with her and they were very familiar with each other. If she had hidden the medicine, where would she have hidden it?
Sitting down on the edge of the bed, the old lady thought carefully about Nanny Lin’s living habits and began to look for it.
Originally, she had four maids as a dowry. When they were young, they followed her to the battlefield. The other three died, and only Nanny Lin did not know martial arts, so she stayed behind.
Every time she went to war, she was the one who stayed at home to take care of the family. I thought they would get along well for the rest of their lives, but in the end, they couldn't stick to the end.
After searching carefully for a while and still finding nothing, the old lady sat down to think about it, and finally found a yellow paper package in a rat hole in the corner of the wall.
When I opened it, there was a pinch of powder inside, colorless, odorless, snow-white as frost, and crystal clear.
Taking the paper bag and putting it in her arms, the old lady calmed herself down, then opened the door and went out, returning to her own yard.
Nanny Lin came back in the afternoon, went into her room, took off her coat, changed into the clothes that a nanny in the mansion should wear, and went to search in the rat hole in the corner.
I didn't touch anything and felt a little panicked. I stood up, was stunned for a moment, and sighed.
"If she doesn't have it, then she doesn't have it! Maybe she wasn't destined to die."
After talking to himself, he opened the door and went out to the upper room to see the old lady.
The old lady was as friendly as ever: "Are you back? How is your family?"
Nanny Lin smiled and nodded: "Thanks to you, I'm fine."
"That's good."
As usual, the two of them talked intimately, with Nanny Lin doing most of the talking and the old lady listening.
Occasionally the old lady would add a word, and the two of them would laugh heartily.
Why does someone have to ruin such a beautiful day?
The old lady looked at Aunt Lin and said: "Laugh! Maybe after today, you will never laugh again."
After dinner, Nanny Lin stayed with the old lady and talked for a while, then went to make ginseng tea for her herself.
In the past, these things were done by the maids, but I don’t know when it started, but Nanny Lin started doing them herself.
The old lady didn't care about these things. Tonight, it seemed that Nanny Lin's actions were really weird.
She had already brought the medicine bag, so why was she in such a hurry to make ginseng tea? Did she still hide it on her body?
The old lady waited calmly for Nanny Lin to bring the ginseng tea. She did not dare to drink it. She heard the rain outside and gave instructions to Nanny Lin.
"It looks like it's going to rain. Help me bring in the orchids in the yard."
Nanny Lin agreed and turned to leave.
The old lady poured out some ginseng tea, and poured in all the medicine powder she had found. There was no need to stir it at all; the powder dissolved immediately when it came into contact with water.
Instructing the maid to move the orchid under the eaves, the old lady handed the ginseng tea to Nanny Lin who had just returned: "Thank you for your hard work. Come! Sit down and have some tea!"
Nanny Lin didn't want to drink it at first, but when she remembered that today's ginseng tea didn't contain that thing, she drank it boldly.
There wasn't much in a cup of ginseng tea, so she finished it in just a few sips. The old lady had left some dinner for her in the evening, and the food was a bit salty as she was thirsty.
Seeing how fast she drank, the old lady knew that there was nothing added to the ginseng tea, so she also picked it up and drank it sip by sip.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of drinking tea, he carefully observed the changes on Nanny Lin's face.
About a quarter of an hour later, Nanny Lin was sweating all over, and she collapsed to the ground limply.
The old lady knew that the drug had taken effect, so she pretended not to know and asked in panic, "What's going on?"
Nanny Lin was confused and answered weakly, "I don't know why I suddenly feel weak in my limbs. Old lady! I hope I have caught a cold!"
"Don't be afraid, there is a doctor in the mansion."
The old lady called out loudly, and the doctor from Xuanfu came in to treat Nanny Lin.
The court doctor came and was confused after taking the pulse. He said that Nanny Lin was not sick at all, she was just too weak to be nourished.
"What's wrong?" The old lady looked concerned and sincere.
"Madame Lin is fine, she's just too weak to take any tonic. As long as she doesn't take anything tonic, she'll be fine." The palace doctor wrote a prescription for a decoction, "You'll be fine after taking the medicine for a few days. Nothing serious will happen."
Really? The old lady didn't believe it.
It turns out that this poison can also create the illusion that one is too weak to be nourished. It is indeed a good thing obtained by Prince Duan.
"It's good that you're okay." The old lady comforted Nanny Lin, "The court doctor said it's okay, you don't have to worry. Go to your room and rest for a few days! Don't come over to serve me."
"Yes! I saved it."
Nanny Lin was helped away. According to the old lady's temper when she was young, she was determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
That would certainly alert the enemy, so it's better to be patient.
I will visit my granddaughter tomorrow morning and tell her about this and hear her opinion.
She really wanted to know why Nanny Lin betrayed her and what benefits Liu Yiyi had given her?
