Chapter 228 The Poisoner



When the nurse brought him over, she couldn't stand up. When Shen Biyun saw her, she rushed up: "Why are you accusing me? When did I ask you to harm Mingchen? You should explain yourself clearly today!"

The nurse looked at Shen Biyun and immediately begged: "Miss Shen, I'll keep all the money you gave me. I don't want it anymore. I deserve to die. I shouldn't hurt such a young child... Madam General, please spare my life..."

While she was speaking to Shen Biyun, she turned around and kowtowed to the general and his wife, tears streaming down her face.

"When did I give you the silver? You are accusing me of something I didn't even know about? Really..." Shen Biyun said as she rushed forward, wanting to beat the wet nurse. The wet nurse didn't hide either, but just fell there and kowtowed continuously, with blood oozing from her forehead.

"I found the silver, a total of fifty taels..." Lian Jinyu said to An Zhongtao, "I searched all the servants' rooms, and there is nothing else suspicious."

Shen Biyun suddenly stopped and looked at An Zhongtao: "Cousin, I definitely didn't do this. I don't know who is framing me. Cousin, think about it. Now I want to stay in the general's mansion, but I haven't even started yet. How could I do such a thing? If something happens to the young master, I'm afraid the general and his wife will only be sad, so how can they have the mood to marry a concubine..."

"I don't want to hear another word from you." An Zhongtao's face turned pale, and Lian Jinyu had the same expression. She was even more shaky: "If anything happens to Mingchen, I won't let you go. I provided you with good food and drink, and treated you as a distinguished guest in the general's mansion, but what did you do?"

Lian Jinyu almost blurted out that she had always been thinking about her man.

She was furious, but she was too angry to say anything. Mingchen was her life. Seeing that she was about to faint, An Zhongtao immediately held her in his arms and said, "Someone, go find a doctor..."

Shen Biyun wanted to explain herself, but seeing the chaos, she stamped her feet angrily, "Cousin, I didn't do this at all. I can't take the blame. I will definitely find out the truth..."

An Zhongtao just snorted coldly. He didn't say anything else. Instead, he picked up Lian Jinyu and walked out. The wet nurse was also taken out. Shen Biyun stood there blankly with a flushed face. She looked around and there were only two little maids left in the room. When they saw her looking at her, they quickly lowered their heads.

Shen Biyun saw An Zhongtao carrying Lian Jinyu towards the East Warm Pavilion. It would not look good for her to follow them and explain now, and they must hate her to death.

What should she do?

She ran to Beiyuan. At that time, the old lady was lying on the bed. Min'er was massaging her legs beside her. She closed her eyes and rested.

“Aunt, save me.” As soon as Shen Biyun saw her, she half-knelt in front of the bed, pulling the old lady’s sleeve and about to cry.

The old lady opened her eyes: "What's the matter?"

"Aunt, did you know that An Mingchen was poisoned? The nurse said that I was the one who poisoned him. My cousin found me just now and he believed it. Aunt, if you don't save me, I will have no way to survive."

"Did you poison that?"

"Aunt, how could I poison someone? I didn't do anything. Aunt, if you don't believe me, no one will believe me anymore..." Shen Biyun said in a crying voice.

"Oh, how could such a thing happen? Is my poor little grandson okay? You maids don't even bother to find out what the situation is. Why don't you go and check on him and see what the doctor says?" The old lady said to the maids beside her.

Shen Biyun sat up straight: "Aunt, I really didn't do anything. It must be Lian Jinrong, or someone else, who didn't want me to enter the general's mansion, so they pushed these things onto me. Aunt, you must believe me."

"Well, of course I believe you. But they have evidence. If I just say I believe you without any evidence, do you think it will be effective?" The old lady sighed.

Shen Biyun was stunned: "Then aunt, what should we do? If something like this happens, the general's mansion will definitely not tolerate me anymore. If things go wrong, I will be sent to the government. I don't know what's going on with An Mingchen now. Damn it, who would lay a hand on a child? They are all mothers, how can they be so cruel."

The old lady sighed: "I really hope your cousin can hear what you said. Maybe he will believe you. But now that you tell me, I can't make the decision..."

After Shen Biyun heard her say this, she didn't know what it meant. Should she help or not?

An Qingran had been guarding An Mingchen's side. Before a new wet nurse was found, she had tried all the milk before feeding it to little Mingchen. But little Mingchen didn't know whether it was intolerance or other reasons. He only ate a little and vomited most of it. Seeing his face getting thinner day by day, the general's mansion began to recruit wet nurses. After searching for a few, they finally found a suitable one. Little Mingchen was better, but his stomach and intestines were injured and his body was still very weak. An Qingran was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "Mother, has my father made up his mind? Should I report to the police?"

Lian Jinyu shook her head: "Your father still cares about the old relationship and intends to forgive Shen Biyun for what she did and just let her leave the general's mansion."

An Qingran's face turned pale, but what could she say about her father's decision? She just felt that doing so would let the woman get away with it.

"Tell me, what is her purpose in doing this?" Lian Jinyu said quietly, "She is also a mother, how could she do this to such a young child? Besides, if Mingchen were to get into trouble, how could your father want to marry another concubine? Wouldn't she be getting more and more hopeless?"

An Qingran sat down after hearing this and asked, "Mother, do you believe her?"

"No, I don't believe her and I won't forgive her. Maybe she is just crazy and was forced by Old Lady Tan. She probably thought we wouldn't find her out, so she did this."

"How could we not find out? We are not fools." When An Qingran said this, he suddenly seemed to be thinking about something, "Could Chen Biyun be so stupid? Just give the wet nurse money and let her poison. Doesn't she know that I am studying medicine?" An Qingran shook his head.

Lian Jinyu sighed: "Although your brother is not in any danger now, he has to suffer from such a small age. I don't know if he will have any problems when he grows up. Poor child... From now on, no matter who it is, I will never allow them to hurt Mingchen again."

An Qingran was still frowning: "It seems that I have to ask Mrs. Qin when they set off..."

This is her home, and she doesn't allow anyone to run rampant here.

Whoever you mention will arrive.

Old Mrs. Qin is here.
