She wrung out a handkerchief and wiped him. The doctor had finished his diagnosis. He stood in front of Lian Jinyu and said hesitantly, "The young master might have food poisoning. Let's check his bowel movements later. If it's green, then it's correct..."
"I checked this morning, and it is indeed green... Wait? The young master has food poisoning? He's still drinking milk... People, tie up the wet nurse immediately! Also, notify the general!" Lian Jinyu's face was extremely majestic at this moment, like an angry lioness.
An Qingran agreed with the doctor's diagnosis and her mother's approach.
She just hugged Mingchen with heartache. He was so young, who would do such a cruel thing to him?
I had planned everything, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't prevent it. Who could it be?
She gritted her teeth. Little Mingchen cried weakly, like a pitiful kitten. At this moment, the nurse was brought up. As soon as she entered the room, she knelt down and said, "Madam, I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of the young master. It's my fault."
"I'm not asking about your dereliction of duty. Now I just want to know why you poisoned my son!" Lian Jinyu slammed the table and said angrily.
"I didn't, madam, I dare not. How could I harm the young master? Besides, if anything happened to the young master, I would be the first person suspected. I wouldn't do that." The wet nurse kowtowed while crying, begging for mercy.
"If it's not you, who else could get close to my child?" Lian Jinyu didn't believe her at all. "You'd better think it over, otherwise I'll have you brought before the authorities. Think carefully, who has ever gotten close to the young master?"
"I don't know. When I was feeding the young master, I was in the east warm room. If someone came in, the madam should know." The wet nurse insisted through gritted teeth.
"I won't allow you to talk nonsense. Come here, give her twenty strokes of the cane first, and turn her room upside down..." Lian Jinyu stared at the nurse and said, "You know, if anything happens to my son, you will be the first to pay with your life."
"Madam, it's unfair..." The wet nurse continued to kowtow and protest her injustice.
An Qingran was also confused. Yes, logically speaking, the wet nurse should not have poisoned the woman, because if something happened, she would be the first one who would not be able to escape. How could she be so stupid?
Then who could it be?
"Mom, check all the people who have been on duty these days and ask them to find people who can prove each other's wrongdoing. Also, don't let anyone who can enter this room go..." An Qingran looked at the uncomfortable little Mingchen. Her heart was twisted. She looked at the doctor and said, "Doctor, have you found out what poisoned him?"
"Judging from the symptoms, it's probably Datura. It's just that it was discovered in time. If it was discovered any later, for such a young child, I'm afraid... By the way, the medicine is ready soon, you can drink it..." While the doctor was speaking, a maid came in with the medicine.
An Qingran took the medicine personally, put it under her nose and smelled it, then nodded secretly. The medicine prescribed by the doctor was indeed suitable for the condition, and most importantly, there was nothing abnormal. It was obvious that the person who poisoned the medicine did not tamper with it, which meant that person had no chance to do anything now.
Or maybe he was scared.
She is not good at analysis.
It would be ok if it didn't concern her, but now that it involves little Mingchen, her mind went blank. The baby refused to take the medicine, and vomited it all out after taking a little. She was very anxious and distressed. Finally, with the help of the doctor, she pressed Mingchen's tongue with a small spoon and fed him the bitter medicine. Mingchen retched for a while. An Qingran wiped the corners of her eyes and turned around. She happened to see the eyes of the wet nurse. When the two sides looked at each other, the wet nurse dodged and did not dare to look at An Qingran. This made An Qingran know what was going on. She stepped forward and said with a smile: "Wet nurse, has anyone in our general's mansion wronged you? As long as you tell me, I can help you get revenge?"
"No, how could there be any hatred?" The nanny shook her head.
"Then why did you want to harm my brother?" She sat in front of her and raised her chin with her hand. "I wanted to stop mother from torturing you, but now it seems that it is really necessary..."
"Miss, please don't. I didn't do anything."
"Really? How much money did that person give you? Let me hear how much my brother is worth." An Qingran stretched out her hand and pulled out a few silver needles from her hair, playing with them on her fingertips. "There are acupuncture points on the human body. Some acupuncture points can relieve pain, but for some acupuncture points, the pain will be dozens of times more acute once the needle is inserted. Let's put it this way, the pain of pulling out a hair is like someone using a hammer to pull out your teeth. Think about it, what does it feel like when the hammer hits you?"
The nurse still shook her head.
"So, some people won't cry until they see the coffin." An Qingran signaled to the maids on her left and right. The two of them immediately stepped forward and held the nurse's shoulders. An Qingran gave her a needle in her Baihui acupoint, and then continued to give her another needle. She said, "After this needle, your lower body will lose feeling. If I don't remove the needle within an hour, you will be paralyzed for life..."
When An Qingran said this, she seemed as if a demon was haunting her, with murderous gleams in her eyes. She could no longer care about anything else. If this matter was not investigated clearly, there would be no peace in the general's mansion.
How could she let this happen?
The nurse collapsed to the ground when she saw this: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."
Half an hour later, Lian Jinyu's face turned pale with anger. She found An Zhongtao and said, "General, we have found out the truth. Mingchen died because he ate Datura..."
Having said this, she paused, her body swayed twice, and she almost fell down.
An Zhongtao supported her and asked, "How did you eat Datura?"
"Because Datura was smeared on the wet nurse's nipples, and the person behind it was... Chen Biyun!" Lian Jinyu finally said the name, leaning back in the chair, gasping for breath.
"Why did she do this? Is it because I didn't let her into the general's mansion? But Mingchen is so young, how could she be so cruel to attack a child..." Lian Jinyu had never lost her composure like this before, but this time it was really not a small matter. She almost lost her son.
An Zhongtao's face turned pale when he heard this. He was angry and ashamed. He never thought that his son almost died because of him.
"Someone, go call Shen Biyun." An Zhongtao slammed the table angrily.
When Shen Biyun arrived here, she saw that her cousin and cousin-in-law looked unhappy. She opened her mouth and just called her cousin, An Zhongtao said coldly: "I'm not your cousin. Tell me, why do you want to harm my Mingchen? How did he bother you?"
"Harm Mingchen?" Shen Biyun shouted, "What's going on? How could I harm Mingchen? He is so young, why are you wrongly accusing me..."
"I wrongly accused you? Someone, bring the wet nurse here for confrontation." Lian Jinyu shouted angrily.
