Chapter 387
Everyone was shocked and immediately split up to search for the person, while the other half stayed in the courtyard to await instructions.
Soon, Madam Zheng arrived in a hurry.
Since it concerned her precious grandson, she walked briskly all the way, and when she arrived, her forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Immediately, a maid led her upstairs to the second floor.
Yunxi lay on the bed, her face as pale as paper, looking as if she had just been pulled out of the water, and her moans were extremely weak.
Even though Yunxi wasn't her biological daughter, Madam Zheng couldn't help but feel sorry for her when she saw her: "What happened? She's been fine all this time."
Le'an's eyes were red-rimmed: "This servant doesn't know either..."
Le'an was young, and he was already panicking.
Madam Zheng took a deep breath and sat down to the side: "Tell me in detail what your aunt ate, drank, and used today."
Le'an forced herself to calm down and tried hard to recall: "My aunt just woke up not long ago, and she was using things she was used to, so..."
Her eyes lit up: "The young mistress sent a maid to deliver some nourishing soup early this morning! The concubine ate some as soon as she got up!"
"A tonic soup?" Madam Zheng frowned.
Zhou Mama, who had been silent all along, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and stepped forward, saying, "Madam, I remember now. When I came last time, I heard the concubine say that the young mistress was bringing here nourishing soup twice a day!"
At this moment, Zhou's mother was also feeling a little annoyed.
She originally intended to tell Zheng about it when she got back, but things kept happening and Zhou's mother was so busy that she forgot for a moment.
"Nonsense!"
If it weren't for the fact that Yunxi was in such a bad mood and that she didn't want to startle her, Madam Zheng would have slammed her fist on the table.
You can't drink tonic soup like that.
Even patients who are truly weak need to be careful when drinking tonic soup, let alone someone like Yunxi who has a good complexion and is free from illness!
If this is overdone, I'm afraid that in the end...
Zheng felt a chill in her heart.
Just then, hurried footsteps approached, followed by Ji Xiang's voice: "Dr. Wei, this way please, please hurry!"
Immediately afterwards, hurried footsteps led up the stairs, and Jixiang arrived with Doctor Wei.
Upon seeing Madam Zheng, the two were about to bow when Madam Zheng stepped forward and grabbed Doctor Wei's hand, saying, "Go and see him quickly!"
Doctor Wei dared not delay and stepped forward in a few steps.
To make it easier for Doctor Wei, Le'an had no choice but to hold Yunxi down with trembling hands.
After examining Yunxi, Doctor Wei's expression changed immediately. He quickly took out a silver needle and pierced Yunxi's finger. He then inserted several more needles, and Yunxi's condition visibly improved.
After waiting for a while, the blood dripping from Yunxi's fingertips returned to its normal crimson color, and she lay down comfortably. Doctor Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression remained grave: "Auntie has been poisoned. What did Auntie eat this morning? Is there a sample?"
Just as Jixiang was about to turn around to take it, the maid shook her head and said, "It's gone. I saw with my own eyes that the maid in the young mistress's courtyard took it away."
Now... it's probably all cleaned up, and not a trace can be found.
Le An gritted his teeth inwardly.
I should have been more careful and had someone cover up that bowl of tonic soup first!
It's better than having no one to prove it now!
Jixiang knelt down on the ground with a thud.
He seemed utterly despondent, yet a hint of relief flickered in his eyes.
It's done.
