Chapter 598: No Tears Until You See the Coffin
Xu Mengxian soon came back with a large basket of vegetables.
These vegetables were all bought by her within the past three days, and she bought them from the original vendors.
It's snowy and icy right now, so there are only a few things you can buy.
In addition to some fruits and vegetables that people have stored in advance when winter comes, there are also some homemade pickles.
So once you have sorted them out, there aren't actually that many things.
After all, we have our own fresh vegetables and meat, so we don’t have to buy much every day.
"These are the dishes I've had these past few days." Xu Mengxian looked at Doctor Mu with a guilty look on her face.
"Doctor Mu, please help me check which of these dishes have problems!"
She just wanted to change her sister-in-law's taste and let her eat more.
But he didn't know that he almost harmed his sister-in-law.
She shouldn't have gone out to buy things, giving others an opportunity to take advantage of her. It's all her fault.
"Okay, Miss, don't worry about it. Your sister-in-law discovered it early, so it's not a big problem. Just lie in bed and rest for a few days." Doctor Mu comforted her. She was still a little girl, and if she kept blaming herself for this, something might go wrong.
After comforting her for a few words, Doctor Mu squatted down to check the vegetables that Xu Mengxian brought back.
After a quick look, he didn't find any problems.
Not giving up, he looked through it again carefully.
He then stood up and shook his head at Xu Mengxian, "I don't find anything wrong with these dishes.
Second Miss, please think about it carefully. There might be other problems.
If drugs are added, they may not be put on the food, but may be put through other channels."
Doctor Mu used to be an imperial physician and had seen many shady tactics.
But today he didn't want to say too much, so as not to pollute the little girl's ears.
Xu Mengxian's eyes widened. "Doctor Mu, are you sure you can see clearly?"
Xu Mengxian was excited. If the drug was not given by someone outside, then it must have been done by someone they trusted at home.
This is something Xu Mengxian didn't want to believe.
She didn't want to suspect a traitor in her family.
Xu Mengxian quickly picked up various dishes and handed them to Doctor Mu one by one. "Doctor Mu, please take a closer look. Is there anything wrong with these dishes?"
Seeing Doctor Mu shaking his head, she hurried to get other dishes.
Doctor Mu frowned. "Second Miss, calm down. I checked these dishes twice and they are indeed fine."
Xu Mengxian held the radish in her hand, looking a little distraught.
Looking at the carrot in her arms, Xu Mengxian wanted to cry.
My sister-in-law loves carrot cake very much. She ate a lot of it after I made it for two consecutive days.
She was also thinking of making some more today to give to her sister-in-law as an afternoon snack.
Who knew this would happen?
Xu Mengxian sniffed, calmed herself down, and then looked up:
"Doctor Mu, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'll take you to the kitchen to see what's wrong."
As she said this, she was about to put the radish in her hand back into the basket.
But just as she loosened her grip and was about to retract her hand, her heart sank.
Why is there a small hole on this carrot?
Without any hesitation, Xu Mengxian quickly called out to Doctor Mu who was about to go to the kitchen.
After asking Doctor Mu to wait for her here, she rushed to the kitchen.
Doctor Mu looked surprised.
What happened to the second young lady?
Xu Mengxian didn't let Dr. Mu wait too long. She quickly rushed out with a knife.
Seeing her murderous look, Doctor Mu was a little frightened:
"Second Miss, you... wait a moment.
What did you do with the knife? Don't get carried away. It's just a small matter."
"Doctor Mu, what are you thinking about? Don't worry, I'm not desperate. But please help me take a look at the trouble you'll have later." Xu Mengxian said seriously.
Then he took out the radish from the vegetable basket beside him.
She observed it carefully, then picked up a kitchen knife and carefully cut open the hole.
And the moment the radish was cut, Doctor Mu widened his eyes with a hint of disbelief.
There is actually a small round groove in the middle of this radish.
It was obvious that someone used something to take out some radish flesh.
Xu Mengxian carefully picked up the cut radish and handed it to Doctor Mu:
"Doctor Mu, can you take a look at this radish? Is there anything wrong with it?"
Doctor Mu nodded, quickly reached out to take the radish, then observed it carefully and kept smelling it with his nose.
The smell made his face turn black.
"There's an abortion pill in this turnip."
Doctor Mu was angry.
These people really stopped at nothing to harm Madam Xu.
I actually thought of stuffing abortion pills into radishes.
Such a small hole, such a small amount of powder, who can see it?
Also, it can’t be washed off with water.
A little bit every day is enough to destroy the baby in the young lady's belly.
The person who came up with this idea is truly a talent. Doctor Mu is itching to do something about it.
Xu Mengxian was so angry that she was shaking all over.
The woman selling the radishes was a farmer's sister who spoke and moved very fluently. Because she was enthusiastic and always gave me a lower price, I always bought a lot of vegetables from her.
Unexpectedly, because of this, she let a wolf into the house and almost harmed her sister-in-law.
She couldn't swallow this.
Xu Mengxian couldn't bear it any longer and rushed outside.
She wanted to find that cruel woman and ask her why she used such dirty means to harm her sister-in-law.
As soon as she rushed to the outer courtyard, Xu Pinggui pushed a woman in front of her.
When Xu Mengxian saw that woman, she felt extremely jealous, as if she were meeting an enemy.
He immediately rushed forward and grabbed the other person by the collar.
"Sister Liu, tell me, why did you put abortion pills in the food to harm my sister-in-law?"
A flash of panic crossed Mrs. Liu's face, and then she shook her head calmly:
"I don't know what abortion pills are, so stop talking nonsense and accusing me.
I'm just a grocery seller, who can I harm?
And Second Miss, I have given you such a fair price when selling vegetables. You don’t want to wrongly accuse me and ask me to give you vegetables for free, do you?
I'm telling you, don't be so delusional. This is impossible. I'm running a small business and I can't make much money. If I give it to you, I won't even have to support my family!"
Xu Mengxian almost vomited blood out of anger!
Is she someone who is short of that little money?
Xu Mengxian gritted her teeth, "What nonsense are you talking about?
Who asked you to give me free food?
I warn you not to change the subject here, it's useless.
Tell the truth, who taught you to do this?
You hollow out a little bit of the radish and stuff medicine in it. Great! I really underestimated you!
If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xu Mengxian looked fierce.
If she hurt herself, she might not be that angry.
But hurting her sister-in-law and her future nieces and nephews is like asking for her life, which is absolutely unforgivable.
Mrs. Liu's face changed, but she refused to give in. "What abortion pill? I don't know what to say. I don't have any.
That thing is so expensive, I can't afford it at all, don't accuse me of it."
You can't admit it, you absolutely can't admit it.
"You won't cry until you see the coffin." Xu Mengxian sneered. She looked around, trying to find a wooden stick, but unfortunately, she couldn't find a broom, let alone a wooden stick.
Her eyes fell on Xu Pinggui's sword, and she simply asked him to give it to her along with the scabbard.
After getting the sword, she looked at Mrs. Liu with a murderous look on her face.
Mrs. Liu, standing by, panicked. "You...what do you want to do...I'm telling you, beating and killing people are both illegal."
The next second, Xu Mengxian used the sword as a stick and hit her.
"You still want to lie to me now. Do I look so stupid as to let you lie to me?"
"You're not going to tell me, are you? I'll beat you until you tell me!"
…
Mrs. Liu was beaten so hard that her whole body ached. She stood up cursing and tried to resist.
But when Xu Pinggui saw that she was about to get up, he kicked her at the right time, knocking her to the ground and letting Xu Mengxian continue to beat her.
joke.
She has fallen into their hands and still wants to resist. Who will give her the face to do so?
"You're not going to tell me, are you?"
Xu Mengxian stopped and stared at Mrs. Liu with a vicious look on her face.
Then he drew his sword and threw away the scabbard.
She pointed the sword at Mrs. Liu, a gloomy look on her lips. "You're not going to tell me, are you? Then I'll chop off your hand and see if you can still tell me."
Mrs. Liu's face was already twisted with pain, and upon hearing this, her body began to tremble:
"Don't scare me, I'm not afraid of you.
If you dare to do anything to me, I will report you to the police!"
"Catch me?" Xu Mengxian smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes:
“Do I need to tell you how chaotic Mocheng is?
Do you think that if you die, anyone will avenge you?
Mrs. Liu, don't be naive.
Since you want to bear the wrath of my Xu family for others, then I will grant your wish.
As for the person who bribed and instructed you, I also have a way to find out. It just takes some time."
After saying that, she raised the sword in her hand coldly and dropped it directly towards her.
When Mrs. Liu saw that she was really going to chop herself, she was frightened out of her wits.
"You, don't cut me, I...I said."
Xu Mengxian's sword stopped less than a foot away from her. "Say, I'm telling you my patience is limited. Don't even think about provoking me."
Mrs. Liu swallowed nervously, then reached out and carefully moved the sword away a little before speaking in a low voice.
“My man made me do this.
I don't know who found him. Three days ago, he came back home and said that someone gave him one hundred taels of silver.
Just do as they say, take out some flesh from the radish, pour the medicinal powder into it, and then sell the added radish to you.
The other party said that if I succeed in selling it five times, he would give him another 100 taels."
When Mrs. Liu said this, she suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Mengxian:
"Second Miss, I was wrong. I was blinded by money. Please forgive me."
"Second Miss, I can't die. I can't get into trouble. I have elderly parents and young children at home. If something happens to me, who will take care of them?"
"Have mercy, Second Miss!"
