Chapter 389
"Yes," Yun Wan knew she couldn't deny it, so she readily agreed. "I heard that pregnancy is difficult for women, so I wanted to give my aunt more nourishment. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Do you know the principle that too much of a good thing is bad?"
“My daughter-in-law also had concerns about this, so before sending the tonic soup, she specifically asked Doctor Tian. Doctor Tian also said that this was the right thing to do, so my daughter-in-law started sending it to her aunt from time to time.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Doctor Wei, who was standing next to her, burst out laughing: "These days, anyone can be called a doctor. She's in the early stages of pregnancy, and she's drinking bowl after bowl of nourishing soup like this. If she keeps drinking like this until full term, the pregnant woman will either die or be crippled!"
Madam Zheng's face also darkened: "Where is that Doctor Tian now?"
Yun Wan subconsciously clenched her hands: "Doctor Tian made a mistake last time and was taken to the front yard by the young master. I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Made a mistake?"
A maid who had been serving at Jibai Residence stepped forward and said, "Madam, Doctor Tian poisoned the concubine, and the young master was furious, which is why he brought her to the front courtyard."
"Nonsense!" Madam Zheng slammed her hand on the table. "Since you knew all along that Doctor Tian was a wicked man, why did you still go along with his wishes?!"
Yun Wan trembled: "Mother-in-law, please understand! The tonic soup I brought to my aunt was made with the finest medicinal herbs. How could I have known that Doctor Tian would be so ruthless, even scheming against me..."
Her words were flawless and came from the heart.
After all, they used high-quality ingredients, and Yun Wan is still young. How could she know that this could also harm people?
However, Zheng's anger did not subside: "If that's the case, how do you explain this incident?"
Yun Wan looked completely bewildered.
What happened this time?
What's up?
"...Please, Mother-in-law, understand."
Seeing that the blank look on her face seemed genuine, Zhou's mother told her about Yunxi's poisoning.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wan's eyes widened: "Please, Mother-in-law, be wise! If I really wanted to harm you, why would I poison the tonic soup you brought? I had no intention of harming anyone, nor am I that stupid!"
After she finished speaking, a hint of hesitation and inquiry appeared in Zheng's eyes.
That's a good point.
Even if one wanted to poison someone, one shouldn't poison the food they themselves delivered.
Seeing Zheng's hesitation, Yunwan quickly said, "Mother-in-law, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this! Perhaps my aunt is dissatisfied with me and is willing to harm herself to frame me!"
"Since my mother-in-law knows my identity, it's only natural that she would hold a grudge against me!"
The hesitation in Zheng's eyes deepened.
Just then, Le'an, who had gone to fetch hot water, returned and overheard Yun Wan's words.
Before coming to Jibai Residence, Le'an had always been by Shen Rang's side and held a high position in the Marquis's mansion. At this moment, she stepped forward and said, "Nonsense! What kind of deadly feud does the concubine have with the young mistress that she would risk her own and her child's lives?! Besides, the young mistress denies it outright, so where is the maid you sent! Tell her to come out and confront them!"
"If it weren't true, why would she be so guilty and run away?!"
She got straight to the point, and Madam Zheng said, "Since you feel you've been wronged, call that maid over and ask her what happened."
Yun Wan's face turned slightly pale.
Le'an ordered someone to bring hot water up, and then said, "Besides, the young mistress always delivers the tonic soup right on time, just after the concubine has finished eating. It's just unfortunate that the concubine got up exceptionally late this time, so she only drank the tonic soup that the young mistress brought. And then this happened. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid the young mistress would have really absolved herself of all responsibility!"
