When the old lady heard this, she was shocked.
The mistress of the house plotted to murder her concubine's offspring!
If this matter gets out, how will the General's Mansion survive in Jianzhou in the future?
And there is the eldest granddaughter Si Jinyue, the dignified Princess Rui. Will she still have any dignity when she is among the noble ladies of Jianzhou in the future?
She glanced at Si Jinhao who was standing behind Zhou. This matter must not involve her eldest grandson!
My eldest grandson will take the imperial examinations in the future, so he can’t get involved in this mess!
The old lady was pondering this when she heard a voice:
"How ridiculous! You're using such a bucket of filth to slander my mother!
Si Jinxing, who gave you such courage?
Si Jinxing couldn't help laughing when she heard that. If this guy wasn't spanked three times a day, he'd feel itchy all over, right?
"Brother, which tooth do you need pulled? I'm here to help you, and I won't refuse!"
Si Jinhao was stunned and quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
He didn't know what was going on, but as soon as he saw his second sister, he wanted to go up and scold her!
But she always forgets that she is no longer the timid little thing who was easily manipulated by others.
She seemed like... a different person inside!
I can’t beat him no matter how hard I try, and I can’t win no matter how hard I try to scold him!
"Don't be so complacent!" Si Jinhao took a step back and spoke angrily in a domineering tone.
"Mother, I have a clear conscience! This ginkgo cake is absolutely non-toxic! Please help me and give me justice!" Zhou raised her head and said in a loud voice.
Si Jinxing crossed his arms in front of his chest, looked down at Zhou who was still kneeling on the ground, and exclaimed:
"What the mistress said is truly heartfelt!
But don't forget, everyone has a head on their neck. How come you have one more than others?!
Ordinary ginkgo cakes are hard for children to eat, let alone this one with added ingredients!"
She picked up the snacks on the table, pinched them and smelled them in front of Zhou, which scared Zhou so much that her face turned pale.
"Of course, it wouldn't be a problem for you to eat one or two pieces.
So, my lady, you can rest assured and take it to your grandmother's room!
This move is brilliant, absolutely foolproof!"
Si Jinyue walked to the bed, pretended to reach out and touch Si Jinheng's forehead, and said:
"Second sister, Heng'er is just young and got caught in a cold early in the morning, which is why he has a stomachache.
Don't gossip here, you don't want to create discord among the family!"
Although Si Jinheng was young, he was very thoughtful. His large, distinct black and white eyes rolled around twice and he spoke:
"Big sister, it's actually very simple to prove whether I'm poisoned or not.
Just eat five pieces of this ginkgo cake.
Didn’t Second Sister just say that if it’s a normal snack, it’s fine for adults to eat five pieces!
Si Jinyue touched Si Jinheng's forehead, paused, and said with a wry smile:
"Five yuan for a snack, wouldn't that make you sick? Just lie down and take a rest."
She stared at her second brother lying on the couch in front of her, looking somewhat weak, and thought to herself: What a pity!
Wen, who was crying silently, felt a pain in her heart as she listened to her son's hoarse voice and thought of the spittoon full of vomit.
She immediately knelt down before the old lady and begged:
"Please, Madam, investigate this matter thoroughly! If not, I will file a complaint with the Jingzhao Prefecture!
I am afraid that if the poisoning fails this time, there will be a next time!
There is only a thief in this world who can steal for a thousand days, so why should we be on guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
"You dare!" Si Jinhao shouted coldly at Wen!
The old lady also spoke up, glaring angrily and saying, "Nonsense!"
"Sister Wen, you've really wronged me. If I really had this idea, wouldn't I be afraid that my mother would eat too much and get poisoned?
As the mistress of the general's mansion, I hope that our family will be prosperous and lively.
I would never dare to have such harmful thoughts!" Zhou covered her face and wiped away her tears, defending herself with a look of grievance.
Wen was a soft-hearted person. She opened her mouth but could not say anything. She just kept wiping away her tears.
At this time, Si Jinxing was sitting on a stool brought over by Qingchan. She tilted her head and looked at Zhou and giggled.
Zhou was most afraid of the girl's laughter. When she heard the laughter, goose bumps appeared all over her body, and then she heard the girl's devilish voice coming.
"You don't dare? Why wouldn't you dare?
You angered your grandmother yesterday because of the matter between Qian and Zhou Gui. You knew that she was angry and refused to eat the food you took away!
However, you also know that your younger brother Heng'er and your fourth sister have always been well-behaved and always go to ask how their grandmother is doing every day.
Grandma is the kindest person, and she would always give the snacks in the room to her grandchildren!
You saw this clearly and used your grandmother's help to get rid of the two illegitimate children in the mansion!
What a great plan that kills three birds with one stone!
Dare I ask my good mistress, wasn't it you who did this bastard thing?"
Zhou was shocked when she heard this. She wanted to explain herself, but she only managed to stammer:
"I...I don't know what you're talking about!"
After hearing this, what else did the old lady not understand?
She looked at Zhou's fat body, her eyes full of resentment, and said in a deep voice:
"Ms. Zhou, you embezzled the Si family's money and murdered my old servant, Mrs. Zhang. I have not held you accountable for these things.
Now you are even more ignorant of restraint, daring to poison the descendants of the Si family. What a vicious mind you have!"
"It seems that the mansion can't keep you!"
The death of Mrs. Zhang in Zhou's Pear Blossom Garden left a scar in the old lady's heart.
Upon hearing this, Si Jinyue's face turned pale. She hurried to the outside and knelt down to plead:
