Chapter 33 If She Has No Ability, Then Who Has Ability?
The faces of several people in the Jiang family changed suddenly.
"What?"
Mother Xu felt sorry for Jiang Qingyue.
"Madam, Miss Qingyue didn't prescribe the wrong medicine, but there's something else going on. As per the eldest lady's instructions, the imperial physician has also been brought here today."
Suddenly, a man in coarse linen clothes was brought in.
He raised his head and saw that the face was none other than He Cong, the imperial physician they had invited from the palace to treat Jiang Wanyin that day.
Jiang Mingyang stood up suddenly, "Aren't you the imperial physician?"
He Cong knelt down and kowtowed continuously.
"Master Jiang, please spare my life. I just wanted to make some money and have absolutely no intention of harming anyone. The young lady's medicinal herbs were replaced by someone else. It has nothing to do with me!"
Mrs. Jiang clenched her handkerchief tightly, her heart in turmoil.
Jiang Shouye was furious, "Change the medicine?"
Mother Xu presented two portions of medicinal residue. "Master, these are the residues left over from the eldest daughter's medication. The one on the left is from before the eldest daughter's accident, and the one on the right, one of the herbs in it was secretly replaced."
Just as she finished speaking, Doctor Qian and the court physician came forward and began to pick and choose among the medicinal residues on the right.
The two did not stop until they found the black medicinal herb.
Doctor Qian placed the item in front of Jiang Shouye and said, "Someone replaced the black Shunpian with Paofuzi. The two herbs are similar in shape, but Paofuzi is more toxic. It's a blessing that the young lady was able to be saved."
"That day, Miss Qingyue snatched the medicine bowl, and Master Mingyang misunderstood her as wanting to destroy the evidence. But as soon as Miss Qingyue tasted the medicine, she immediately knew where the problem lay."
After glancing at the people in the room, Mother Xu fixed her gaze on Jiang Mingyang.
"It was Miss Qingyue who reminded this old servant that the medicinal materials had been replaced. Otherwise, the young lady would have been killed."
Even though they were both medical professionals, it took them some time to find out what was going on. However, Jiang Qingyue knew everything just by tasting the medicine.
If Jiang Qingyue is not capable, then who is?
Jiang Mingyang's expression changed from astonishment to suspicion, and when he saw what the two serious doctors were holding, he wanted to slap himself twice.
"Who on earth wants to harm my daughter?"
Jiang Shouye slammed the table, and the newly placed tea sets on the table were moved out of place by his force.
Mother Xu snorted coldly, "You'll have to ask Mother Wang in the Madam's courtyard about that."
Mrs. Jiang's expression changed. "What did you say?"
"I have already investigated everything. That morning, it was Madam Wang who secretly entered the eldest lady's pharmacy and replaced the herbs."
"When the young lady fell ill, the court physician wasn't at home, and the master and mistress, out of their concern for her, would definitely have called in the imperial physician from the palace. So, Madam Wang colluded with this man, forging his identity as an imperial physician and bringing him into the palace. Finally, they threw dirty water on Miss Qingyue."
Mother Xu explained it so carefully, and when I thought about the fact that this person admitted as soon as he came in that he had never changed the medicinal materials, I realized that he had never changed the medicinal materials.
There is no silver here.
It turned out that his words had already revealed the truth to Mother Wang.
Mrs. Jiang was about to crush the handkerchief in her hand. "Go, bring Mother Wang here."
"lady."
Mother Xu continued speaking with a cold face.
"We also need to bring Jinxiu, the maidservant by the Second Young Lady's side, here as well. Since we want to question and investigate, Master and Madam should investigate everything thoroughly at once."
Mrs. Jiang's face became more and more ugly. Jiang Shouye glanced at her sideways and took in her reaction.
"What has Jinxiu done wrong again?"
At this time, the palace doctor spoke up, "I left the palace precisely because of Jinxiu. She was the one who told me that Miss Qingyue wanted to treat the Second Miss, but the medicine required a herb called Lingxi Grass."
"And this herb can also cure the young lady's illness, but it is hard to find. It can only be found in the Dragon Ridge Mountains outside Yanjing City."
"Miss Qingyue's medical skills are amazing. I am relieved to leave now. But before I leave, I will ask Jinxiu to tell the master and his wife."
At this point, the palace doctor snorted coldly, "It's my fault. Since they tricked me out of the mansion, how could they tell you where I was going?"
Mrs. Jiang was extremely upset and restless, and even wanted to go back several times.
Jiang Shouye already understood the general idea in his mind, and in a deep voice, he asked someone to bring Jinxiu along.
At this time, Mother Wang, who had just come out of Yuehuaxuan, had a pale face and was recalling what Jiang Guiyu had said in a crying voice as he lay beside the bed.
"I thought I would always be loved by my parents, that I could marry Brother Tingzhi, and that I could better protect you and ensure you a life of wealth and glory, but I didn't expect things to get so serious.
"If my parents knew that I was involved in these things, would I be kicked out of the Jiang family? And then the Lu family would definitely not want me either."
"You are my closest people. How can I bear to see you suffer? I have no one to rely on. I might as well just die."
She pretended to get up and said she wanted to go to her parents to take on everything.
Mother Wang and Jinxiu were reluctant to do so.
Jiang Guiyu held them tightly, "But murdering the county lady is a serious crime. If I take all the responsibility, will you and your families still be able to survive?"
Mother Wang and Jinxiu were both shocked.
Yes, when they took action, they didn't expect that the matter would be exposed, and they didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly.
But Jiang Guiyu's words also reminded them.
As long as Jiang Guiyu is still the favored second daughter of the Jiang family and the future daughter-in-law of the Lu family, with these relationships, they may still be able to survive.
But if Jiang Guiyu is no longer favored and the Lu family breaks off the engagement, then they and even their families will die.
Mother Wang and Jinxiu knelt down and said that they would take all the responsibilities and would never drag Jiang Guiyu down in the slightest.
Jiang Guiyu took into consideration the relationship between master and servant and promised to save their lives, and the two of them felt a little relieved.
When Mother Wang and Jinxiu were brought over, they were shaking like sieves.
As soon as she entered the room, Mother Wang threw herself at Madam Jiang's feet and said, "Master and Madam, I have never done anything so heartless. I... Ouch!"
Mrs. Jiang, upset, kicked out and hit Mother Wang in the heart.
Mother Wang was kicked to the ground and almost couldn't breathe.
Jinxiu was so frightened that she crawled on the ground and kowtowed to apologize.
"You bastard, a slave, how dare you poison my daughter!"
Mother Wang turned over and got up as quickly as possible, then knelt down again.
"Madam, please spare me, Madam, please spare me. This old slave, this old slave..."
She wanted to make some excuses, but now that things had come to this, she didn't need to do so anymore.
She gritted her teeth and admitted, "This servant did all of this."
Bang! Mrs. Jiang threw the teacup at her, and the flying fragments almost scratched her eyes.
She managed to dodge it, but a bloody mark was left from the corner of her eye to her chin.
"Why are you doing this, you bastard?"
Before she could explain, Mother Wang started crying.
"Since Madam brought Jiang Qingyue back home, the Second Miss is not the Master and Madam's bloodline after all. She is in constant fear, afraid that her parents will not want her and that they will kick her out."
"The Second Young Lady was raised by this servant, and I feel so sorry for her."
"The other day, I heard Que'er say that the eldest lady had recovered, and it was all thanks to Miss Qingyue. I was afraid that the master and his wife would only care about her and neglect the second lady, so I thought of replacing the eldest lady's medicinal herbs."
"I thought it was just a matter of changing some herbs, not a big deal. I didn't expect it to almost harm the young lady."
