Ning Xiaotang pointed at what was in Quan Yue's hand.
"Miss, I'm afraid the old lady doesn't want to take the medicine!" Liu Ayuan said immediately worriedly.
"Why do you say that?" Ning Xiaotang asked in confusion.
"I just asked the old lady to drink the antidote, but she refused to drink it and it all spilled!"
"Hurry, I'm afraid this poison is not simple!" Ning Xiaotang immediately quickened her pace and rushed towards the courtyard.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard the noise inside: "Mom, what are you doing? I'm Hai Moying!"
"I just want to beat you! Beat you hard! Beat you!" As soon as Ning Xiaotang came in, she saw Luo Xiangqin holding her shoes and beating Hai Moying madly.
"Nana, I'm Tangtang!" Ning Xiaotang immediately said in a cute and soft voice.
"Tangtang?" Luo Xiangqin regained consciousness and said, "I know you. You are my sweetheart!
Haimoying! Tell the truth! How much soap did you steal and sell privately?
Hai Moying immediately said with a bitter face: "Mom, I only stole a dozen bars of soap. Do you really have to beat me up so badly?"
Ning Xiaotang: "Puff, haha, Second Aunt, you admitted it yourself. Go back to the Ning family in a few days and learn the family rules!"
"Grandma, how do you feel?" Ning Xiaotang asked Luo Xiangqin.
"I just feel like I have endless energy, and my ears can suddenly hear sounds from farther away!" Luo Xiangqin thought for a while and said this.
"That's because you drank my spiritual spring water and took the detoxification pill. Once the effects of the medicine wear off, you won't be so angry anymore."
Ning Xiaotang immediately took Luo Xiangqin's pulse on her wrist again.
"Fortunately, the person is fine and there is no internal damage!" Ning Xiaotang said.
"Who is that person who is trying to harm me? Is there still any poison left in his body?" Luo Xiangqin said with a hint of concern.
"This poison is not life-threatening at the moment, but further observation is needed before a definitive diagnosis can be made."
Ning Xiaotang also responded based on the pulse diagnosis results.
"Mom, was this beating I received in vain?" Hai Moying said aggrievedly while still kneeling on the ground.
"Second sister-in-law, the head of the family asked you to cooperate in managing the Ning family servants. You managed them for a while, but what happened? You secretly sold soap on your own. How can the head of the family trust you and use you again?"
Liu Lanqing immediately shook his head and said something unhappily.
"Liu Lanqing, are you also planning to manage Ning's house?" Hai Moying immediately said a little excitedly.
"Don't worry, I don't think I'm cut out for that. I'll just stay home and embroider my work. I enjoy this kind of life! I won't compete with you for the position of housekeeper!"
Liu Lanqing looked disdainful, but Hai Moying felt uneasy, as he always felt that his position was unstable again.
She looked up at Tangtang who was beside Luo Xiangqin.
"Tangtang, you won't tell the head of the family about me, right?"
"Not yet, but sooner or later this matter will be exposed. Once the master of the house looks at the soap account book, he will naturally know how much soap has been lost. Now the servants can't take the soap out of the house. It means that you, Second Aunt, have been out of the house so often recently, so you will be found out soon!"
"Ah! Then can you please confess the truth and then get a lighter sentence?"
"Oh, then try your moves and let me see what happens!" Ning Xiaotang immediately walked to the chair and sat down.
He also ordered Quan Yue to give Luo Xiangqin the detoxification pill and spiritual spring water.
"I, I just came to me because Fang Zhen told me that if I secretly got some soap and sold it to him, he would give me three taels of silver for each piece of soap!"
"A piece of soap and three taels of silver can convince you?" Ning Xiaotang said with a look of disappointment.
"Ah, I'm a bit extravagant with my own money sometimes, and he did give me some money from selling soap recently, so I felt a little more financially secure, and that's why I went out and sold a lot of cakes and fruit!"
Luo Xiangqin immediately rolled her eyes and said, "I knew you had dirty hands. Otherwise, how could we buy so many cakes and fruits with the monthly allowance from the household staff?"
At this time, Ning Xiaotang took a look at the fragrant cakes and fruits that Hai Moying gave to Luo Xiangqin. Those were the best fragrant cakes and fruits in Xiangmi Ju.
"It's really rare to see such a generous second aunt!" Ning Xiaotang took a piece of fragrant cake and broke it open with her two little hands. Sure enough, who could resist the fragrance?
"I'm hungry. I'll eat a few pieces of fragrant cakes and fruits first!"
The scene suddenly changed, and Ning Xiaotang had already bitten into the fragrant cake, and her little mouth was full of sweetness.
"Mom, you see Tangtang really likes eating these fragrant cakes and fruits. Can you spare me the beating when I get home?"
"Hmph! It's inevitable!" Luo Xiangqin looked unhappy and didn't even look at Hai Moying.
"Yes, mother, I'll take my leave first!" Hai Moying touched her slightly swollen face and her slightly messy hair, then slowly retreated.
Liu Lanqing immediately smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, why are you doing this? If you want to eat the fragrant cakes and fruits from Xiangmiju, you can just buy them from your eldest sister-in-law. Why do you have to take the risk of stealing soap and selling it yourself?"
"Now I know that old ginger is still wiser! I just bought some fragrant cakes and fruits, but my mother saw through me at a glance!" Hai Moying regretted it so much.
But this matter will never be so easy.
Ning Xiaotang asked Quan Yue to send a letter, and a carrier pigeon flew away.
That night Ning Zilin immediately sent people to check the inventory and found that the soap was indeed less. Then Ning Zilin sent Bai Liu to several places where Fang Zhen often moved around to arrest him.
"Stay at those places and catch the people and take away the soap together if necessary!" Ning Zilin ordered Bai Liudao.
Bai Liu, "Yes, Patriarch! I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Bai Liu immediately took his men and set off overnight.
The next morning, Fang Zhen secretly carried a basket of soap and started selling it in the restaurant he often frequented. He soon sold two pieces of soap. When he was happily counting the silver bills, a cloth bag suddenly covered him from head to toe.
"Who are you! Who are you! I'm Fang Zhen!"
"Yes, we're arresting you!" Several strong men immediately carried Fang Zhen's soap and himself into the carriage.
Bai Liu immediately said, "Let's go!" Soon people in the restaurant started talking.
"Oh, Fang Zhen has been caught! This is going to be a good show!"
"Let's follow and take a look!" Immediately, some people who liked to watch the fun caught up with the carriage.
Ning Zilin was already waiting in the county government office, only to see Bai Liu bringing Fang Zhen up.
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, this man is Fang Zhen. He stole our Ning family's soap and sold it in the restaurant!"
"Someone, come here! Take the cloth bag!" The county magistrate interrogated Fang Zhen as fast as lightning.
Fang Zhen didn't dare to hide anything in front of the county magistrate and honestly handed over all the silver he had earned from the sale. This guy actually had nearly a hundred taels of silver notes.
