Chapter 84 The scumbag father killed his wife and daughter, the mastermind behind it!
This time, just like during the day, Xie Yao pushed Xiao Yizi's wheelchair and walked in front, while Bai Shi followed beside him with a lantern.
It's different again.
Behind them were Xu Susu and Xu Zhixing, brother and sister, walking slowly.
It is reasonable for Miss Xie Er to send Prince Jingbei away.
After Imperial Physician Zhou took Lady Bo's pulse, as Xie Yao had expected, he did not find any Mantuo Powder. He only said it was a severe case of tuberculosis and prescribed a prescription.
Xie Yao clearly saw that Xie Ming'an let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief after hearing what Imperial Physician Zhou said.
Mrs. Bo was very grateful, and it was reasonable for her to send Imperial Physician Zhou away.
Xie Mingan was being helped by Nanny Zhu to take medicine. He didn't have the energy to speak anymore. He waved his hand and told them to do as they pleased.
After he married Xu Susu, he only planted a few spies in some of the Xu family's shops for the dowry at the beginning. He never saw the Xu family again. He even almost forgot what Mr. Xu looked like.
Therefore, he did not notice that the scholar entourage behind King Jingbei was his brother-in-law whom he had not seen for many years.
Xie Yao pushed Xiao Yizi through the back garden. Xiao Yizi said, "My uncle came to me and said you had suffered a great injustice."
Xie Yao imagined the scene and couldn't help but explain with a smile: "My uncle is worried about me, so he exaggerated. Please don't be offended, Your Highness."
Seeing that Xie Yao did not refute him and praised Xu Zhixing as his uncle, Xiao Yizi's dark eyes curved slightly.
"If this prince found it offensive, he wouldn't have let his uncle and his wife hang around in the back," he said seriously. "I simply don't believe what my uncle says."
"What don't you believe?"
"I don't believe anyone can let Second Miss Xie suffer any injustice."
Xie Yao raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Then why did the prince come anyway?"
Xiao Yizi: "Because I am afraid that Second Miss Xie has really been wronged and is pretending not to be wronged."
Xie Yao paused: "Your Highness is worrying too much."
"Have I over-anxioused myself?"
Xiao Yizi turned around and looked at Xie Yao's soft and elegant face under the light, and her dark phoenix eyes that seemed to be dotted with stars.
Xie Yao nodded, and suddenly a bright smile bloomed: "With the prince here, how could I possibly be wronged?"
Xiao Yizi lowered his eyes, his fingertips on the armrest trembling slightly.
He could tell that Xie Yao was trying to coax him.
Even if he doesn't come tonight, Mrs. He and others are there, so she won't suffer any loss.
But he was very happy that Xie Yao was willing to coax him.
Bai Su, who was standing next to the two of them, blushed when she saw the prince's cold ears.
Finally, Xie Yao sent Xiao Yizi to the door and watched him get on the carriage.
My uncle Xu Zhixing also came over, holding a golden abacus in his hand.
As he passed by Xie Yao, his uncle radiated a chill and said quickly, "Take good care of your mother."
"Don't worry, uncle."
After seeing off King Jingbei and his entourage, Xie Yao carried the lantern and walked back with Xu Susu.
She didn't ask what her mother and uncle said. The cold night wind blew through the corridor. Sang Ruorendong stuffed a hand warmer in each of their hands, and their hearts were burning.
As soon as he returned to Wanxiangyuan, Xie Mingan sent someone to deliver the keys to all the rooms, courtyards, storerooms and boxes in the Bo Mansion.
There are still several noble ladies and ladies from the capital living in the Earl's Mansion who have not had time to go back. Tomorrow, what happened in the Earl's Mansion will spread throughout the capital. The Earl of Wenchang dared not say anything and thought it was nonsense.
I boiled two large bowls of honeysuckle soup.
"Madam and the second young lady accidentally ate fish sashimi without any poison. Drink this." She placed the medicine in front of Xie Yao.
Xie Yao picked up the bowl, looked at the dark medicine, and frowned.
Honeysuckle gave her a candied fruit.
Seeing that her mother had to drink it too, she had to set a good example for her mother. She stuffed the candied fruit into her mouth, chewed it and swallowed it. She pinched her nose, tilted her head back and drank the whole bowl of medicine in one gulp.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, too bitter."
When it was Xu Susu's turn, she asked, "I heard from Imperial Physician Zhou that Ayao and I are fine without using the anti-disaster tea. Is it necessary to drink this medicine?"
Honeysuckle turned around and brought a bowl of honey water: "Madam, it's okay for you to drink this. What I mean is that you and the Second Miss should drink more water to excrete the medicine out of your body as soon as possible."
Xie Yao: "...Ah? Then why didn't you say so earlier!"
Honeysuckle smiled and said, "Second Miss didn't ask me either."
"vomit--"
"Don't vomit, Miss. That soup is also a tonic. It won't hurt you."
Xu Susu rarely saw her daughter looking frustrated, so she smiled.
After a while, she asked Sang Ruo to bring the account book, sat at the desk, and gently moved the abacus.
Xie Yao held her chin in her hand and watched her mother settle the accounts. She couldn't help but imagine in her mind what the eldest lady of the Xu family was like in the past.
Xu Susu knew that her daughter was exhausted from the day and said, "Ayao, go back and have some sleep first. Leave the rest to me."
Xie Yao's nose suddenly felt sore.
My own mother, I finally recognized her as my own mother.
Xie Yao asked her mother to go to bed early, suppressed her emotions, returned to her room, and sat alone under the window frame.
The moonlight tonight was like water, falling on her, making her whole body look cold, and also making the bone-chilling hatred in her eyes even clearer.
The Winter Solstice Feast is over.
From today onwards, Aunt Sun lost her trusted confidante, Matron Liu, and was placed under house arrest, temporarily losing her chance to ascend to the throne.
The second branch of the Xie family was feared by Xie Ming'an. Xie Chengbai injured Old Madam Xie, one was beaten with a stick, and the other suffered from a serious cold.
The Xie family lost face, and Xie Mingan was seriously injured after being poisoned.
Even Xie Zhi had such a bad reputation that she couldn't marry into the Prime Minister Jiang family.
However, when Aunt Sun had the key to the household taken away from her, she did not plead for her mother, which made Xie Yao feel that she still had some backup plan.
And the mother got the power to manage the household expenses.
Everything went according to Xie Yao's idea.
However, it was precisely because Xie Ming'an gave his mother the power to manage household expenses so easily that she completely confirmed one thing.
This old guy Xie Mingan is the mastermind behind all this.
In the previous life, it was he who killed his mother!
He killed his wife and daughter, he is worse than a beast!
Outside the dining room, when Xie Yao learned from Ming'er that the dish that Aunt Sun asked Madam Liu to poison was the grilled fish sashimi that only her mother would eat, Xie Yao thought of this.
My mother was poisoned by Mantuo Powder. If I and Rendong hadn't discovered it, she would not have lived for more than a year.
Aunt Sun's father is Sun Yaoling, and her brother also runs a clinic. She has the source of Mantuo Powder, so Xie Yao always thought that it was Aunt Sun who poisoned her mother before she returned to Beijing.
In this case, the person Aunt Sun wants to harm this time should be herself.
But the person Aunt Sun wanted to harm was Xu Susu!
Why?
Is she so idle that she has to poison a dying person twice, with the same poison?
Of course it’s because Aunt Sun didn’t know that her mother was dying!
Of course it’s because my mother’s poison has nothing to do with Aunt Sun!
Since the person who poisoned was not Aunt Sun, who else could it be from the Xie family?
The second branch of the Xie family? They had no reason to harm my mother. Even if the wife of the Earl of the Earl's Mansion was gone, they wouldn't gain anything.
Other concubines? They couldn't find the special poison, Mantuo Powder.
Madam Xie? Unless she treated Aunt Sun as her own daughter-in-law and wanted to help her get promoted, it was unlikely that she, at her age, would challenge the mistress of the household.
When Xie Yao saw Nanny Zhu skillfully giving acupuncture, taking the patient's pulse, and taking out pills, she became suspicious of Xie Ming'an.
Until he gave the power of household expenses to his mother——
There is only one possibility for a man who favors his concubine over his wife, is obsessed with power, and relies on his wife's dowry to bribe high-ranking officials to climb up the ladder: he will return the power in his hands to his wife.
That is, he knew that his wife was about to die!
Because he was the one who poisoned her.
