Lian Jinyu was shocked when she heard her ask this. Could it be that her daughter was hinting at something?
In addition, she was searching her room all day. Did she suspect someone was plotting against her?
The doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "The girl must have eaten something she shouldn't have eaten, and then she was exposed to something else that caused this to happen."
"What is it?" An Zhongtao asked anxiously. He was like a fortune teller, so who could understand him?
"Centipedes were added to the food. If you only ate this kind of food, it would be helpful for detoxification, but your face also came into contact with scorpion venom powder. The combination of these two things only caused red acne, which is probably the lightest. If you don't handle it well, your whole body will be poisoned. It seems that the scorpion venom did not come into contact with the body, it's just strange, so Miss, you still need to check the things that came into contact with your face..."
The imperial physician explained it very clearly.
Hearing this, Lian Jinyu's eyes widened: "Centipede? Who would eat this kind of thing if there is nothing wrong? Daughter, did you secretly test the medicine yourself?"
"Mother, I know the properties of these two medicines. I will never try them on myself again without fear of the consequences." An Qingran said with a wry smile.
"I'm really confused. My daughter, you are a skilled doctor, how could you do such a stupid thing? What did you eat?" Lian Jinyu finally asked the right question.
An Qingran looked innocent: "I didn't..."
"Yes, you have been eating in the East Warm Pavilion since you returned home. Your father was also there when we had dinner last night. How come we don't have any problems... Let me think about it!" Lian Jinyu kept frowning and turning around on the ground.
After An Zhongtao sent the imperial physician away, he was at a loss as to what to do.
He looked at Lian Jinyu, who suddenly stopped and looked at An Zhongtao: "That bowl of snow frog soup, that bowl of snow frog soup, my daughter ate it, but I didn't. There is no other possibility, it must be this reason..."
An Zhongtao was also stunned when he heard this: "But, the imperial physician also said that the face must have been exposed to the scorpion powder. Just saying this is not enough to convince me..."
He was not speaking for Lian Jinrong, but wanted to find out the real reason behind the incident.
At this moment, Ren Dong said weakly beside him: "General, I remember that the young lady brought back the embroidery last night. It was the pillowcase. Is there something wrong with that..."
"Why don't you get it quickly?" An Zhongtao said in a deep voice.
Ren Dong quickly went in and took it out, and brought it to An Zhongtao. An Zhongtao didn't quite understand, but Lian Jinyu was stunned when she saw it: "Isn't this the thing Lian Jinrong gave to Qingran yesterday? She...she is so vicious. I thought she knew her mistake and calmed down, but I didn't expect her to do this."
"Why did she do this?" An Zhongtao had obviously put the blame on Lian Jinrong.
Lian Jinyu did not speak, because the matter had not been fully investigated yet and she could not lose her demeanor as the mistress of the house, lest people think that she was selfish and jealous.
An Zhongtao looked at An Qingran: "Qingran, aren't you familiar with pharmacology? Check to see if there is really scorpion venom on this embroidery."
"Father, I can't tell, otherwise it wouldn't be like this..." An Qingran coughed twice, "Because I caught a cold these past two days, but we can test whether there is scorpion venom. Bring in the fish tank and put the water from washing the embroidery in it, and we'll know..."
An Zhongtao had someone do this, and soon Nanny Hong came in with two small fish in a bowl. The fish were swimming happily. The water used to wash the pillowcases dripped into the bowl, and within an incense stick of time, both fish were dead.
Lian Jinyu was so angry that her face turned pale. She immediately asked the general to seek justice for her and her daughter. Her daughter's face was disfigured, and she was satisfied.
From now on, there was no place for the mother and son to stay in the general's mansion.
Lian Jinyu was really going crazy this time, so like an angry lioness, An Zhongtao was also angry: "Someone, bring Lian Jinrong to me."
"Father, I have something to say." An Qingran, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Go ahead." An Zhongtao's eyes were full of heartache, which made An Qingran feel warm at heart. It seemed that her father did care about her, but his way of expressing himself might be different from her mother's.
"My daughter thinks that this matter may not be done by my aunt. We should investigate it thoroughly first. Otherwise, if we wrongly accuse my aunt, it will make her sad." An Qingran pleaded for Lian Jinrong.
"Child, why don't you ask your father to bring her here and ask him about it and you'll know." Lian Jinyu didn't understand why her daughter would plead for her.
An Zhongtao was very fond of his daughter's plea, and secretly admired her kindness. At this time, she was still pleading for Lian Jinrong.
He sighed: "Why would she do this?"
What he meant by saying this was that he had already determined that Lian Jinrong was the one who did it.
Unexpectedly, Madam Hong spoke up next to her: "I really didn't expect that Madam has already agreed to take the second daughter as her legitimate daughter, but Aunt Lian actually wants to ruin the eldest daughter."
"Madam Hong, please don't talk nonsense. This matter is not certain yet. You are really getting old and confused..." Lian Jinyu interrupted her.
Madam Hong immediately pleaded guilty, but An Zhongtao didn't care about that at the moment. He looked at Madam Hong and said, "It doesn't matter whether she is guilty or not. Call her here right now."
Lian Jinrong was enjoying the view in her room. She was imagining how glorious her and Yanran Mingxuan's future would be. By then, she would be the mother of the princess, while Lian Jinyu would be nothing. Her daughter would probably die of old age in the general's mansion, which would be embarrassing.
Suddenly she heard the general calling her and her right eyelid twitched. She didn't know whether it was good or bad, so she followed Nanny Hong out. She wanted to get something out of Nanny Hong's mouth, but Nanny Hong's old face remained cold. She asked several times but she didn't say anything. Lian Jinrong finally arrived at Qiwu Courtyard with a heavy heart. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she felt the hairs on her back stand up and she felt a chill in her heart.
Sure enough, when she entered the house and saw An Zhongtao's eyes, she knew that she was in big trouble, although she didn't know what the disaster was.
"General, why did you ask me to come here?" Lian Jinrong asked cautiously.
"You still dare to pretend to be confused? Kneel down!" An Zhongtao slammed the table, and Lian Jinrong was so scared that she fell to her knees.
"General, I really don't understand what's going on. Please explain clearly..."
"Did you embroider this?" An Zhongtao threw the pillowcase in front of her. Looking at the embroidery, Lian Jinrong was stunned. She picked it up and took a look.
"This is exactly what I gave to Qingran yesterday, but is there a problem?" she asked in confusion.
"Is there a problem? You don't admit what you did. Yesterday you put drugs in the snow frog, and you poisoned this thing. What's in your heart? Do you think that my general's mansion is quiet now, and you don't want to see us doing well, right?" Lian Jinyu pointed at her, trying to control her emotions, otherwise she would really go up and hit her.
