Chapter 366 Who poisoned me?
Master Pei happened to be at home. Upon hearing this, he hurried over. Seeing Madam Pei leaning back in her chair, she looked frail and hurried forward, "But you're not feeling well somewhere."
Mrs. Pei softened her voice, "Master, if you don't come, I will be killed."
Master Pei: "Nonsense, who dares to kill you?"
Madam Pei: "I don't know why, but someone wants to kill me. My personal maid just said that the taste of this medicine bowl is not right today, otherwise I almost drank it."
Shao Rong was beautiful, and she acted out the expression of being frightened and frightened to perfection. Master Pei's suspicious eyes immediately fell on the medicine bowl and Song Ci's face.
The only person present who had a grudge against Madam Pei and had a direct interest relationship with her was Song Ci.
But Song Ci's eyebrows were cold, her sparkling eyes were elegant and quiet, and her whole body exuded calmness. Master Pei was a little confused. Could it be that it was not her?
Feeling his sleeve being tugged, Master Pei came back to his senses and asked, "Who is going to make the Madam's medicine today?"
The maid just now knelt on the ground and said, "It is this servant. I have always brewed the medicine for Madam myself and dare not ask anyone else to do it for me."
Master Pei, "Did anyone else come here during this time, or look at the medicine? You didn't leave even a step."
The maid said confidently, "I did not leave without permission. The medicine has never left my sight."
The matter is very clear. Either this maid drugged the woman to harm her, or it was Song Ci.
But this maid had no motive to do this. She was Madam Pei's personal maid and received the highest monthly salary.
Master Pei's eyes were heavy. "Song Ci, do you have anything to say?"
Song Ci's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Father, it's not me."
Mrs. Pei's voice was soft and a little fearful. "Song Ci, all the previous conflicts were misunderstandings. Now I am your mother-in-law, and we are family. Do you still have grudges in your heart and refuse to let it go with me? But you can't kill me..."
After some soft and aggrieved words, the hat was put directly on Song Ci's head.
"I never felt that there was any misunderstanding between me and my wife."
Madam Pei covered her face and sobbed, "You said that, but you must dislike me in your heart, otherwise why would you put drugs in my medicine. I think a harmonious family is the key to success. Since you came into the house, I have never deliberately made things difficult for you. You, what's wrong with you?"
She was about to stop talking, her expression extremely sad.
Master Pei felt distressed when he saw this, patted her gently, then turned and looked at Song Ci with a cold expression.
"Every country has its own laws, every family has its own rules. If you do something like this, I will definitely not let you off so easily."
Song Ci's eyes remained calm, and she suddenly smiled, "So, father, you also think it was me who did it?"
Master Pei was impatient. “Who else would do this except you?”
Song Ci glanced at Madam Pei instead. Madam Pei's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down. She had been very secretive, planning this for a long time. Unless this maid turned against her, no one would be able to see through her plan.
Song Dynasty porcelain is doomed.
Song Ci smiled and said, "Madam did this on purpose."
Master Pei laughed in anger, "You mean, your mother-in-law put the drug in her own bowl, disregarding her own health, in order to harm you?"
Song Ci: "Madam didn't drink it."
Master Pei was stunned for a moment, then his anger escalated. In the Pei family, he was the undisputed ruler. Those around him always let him do what he wanted, never once had anyone contradicted him like this.
Master Pei said, "Asshole, how dare you talk to your elders like that? Come on, drag her out and give her twenty lashes!"
As he said that, he didn't even want to listen to Song Ci's explanation and actually wanted to take action directly.
"Let's see who dares!"
There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and Pei Ji arrived. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were as cold as a knife tempered with flames. He actually looked straight at Master Pei.
"You're actually going to go against my words for this woman? Do you know that she wants to kill your mother? You're actually going to protect someone who has no regard for human ethics and no compassion at all."
Master Pei was furious.
Pei Ji: "Father said she wanted to kill Madam. So, do you have any evidence?"
Master Pei was furious, pointing at Song Ci and the people in the room, "In this situation, what evidence do you need?"
Pei Ji: "I heard what you said just now. It's not impossible that Madam directed and acted in the drama herself."
Mrs. Pei, who had been watching the situation from the sidelines, could no longer sit still. She looked at Pei Ji with sorrow, "I know you haven't treated me as a mother, and I don't blame you. But, she wants to kill me, and you have to protect her, regardless of the lives of your own family?"
Pei Ji: "She married me, she is my wife, so naturally she is a member of our family."
Mrs. Pei choked and looked at Master Pei, "Master, it seems that I can no longer make decisions in this family."
It seemed that Pei Ji and Master Pei were on the verge of a fight, and that the father and son were about to come to blows.
Song Ci said slowly, "In fact, if we just find a doctor to see this matter, we will know the answer immediately."
Master Pei turned to look at her, "What do you mean?"
"Madam and the maid said that this bowl was poisoned. Let's find a doctor to see if there is indeed poison in this medicine. What kind of poison it is? If anyone has done it, there will be traces of it. We will know it once we check."
Master Pei thought she was quibbling and waved his hand, "Go, send the invitation and ask the imperial physician to see you. I will make sure you are convinced. However, if you invite the imperial physician, this matter will not be resolved peacefully. You must think it through."
Song Ci stood there quietly, like an elegant and quiet orchid, and said without a trace of hesitation, "I have thought it through. Please ask Madam to find someone to take a look."
Mrs. Pei looked at Song Ci suspiciously, and seeing that her calmness was not fake, she glanced at the medicine bowl again.
She had asked the maid to put it down, to put on a good show, since she wouldn't be stupid enough to actually drink it anyway.
So, where does the confidence and calmness of Song Dynasty porcelain come from?
After thinking about this, she felt that Song Ci was just pretending. She must be very panicked, but she had to pretend to be calm on the surface. She was also gambling at the same time, gambling on whether she had poisoned someone or not.
But she guessed wrong, she did put poison in the bowl of medicine.
No matter who comes to check, there is poison inside.
She immediately felt confident.
The Pei family is an old and powerful family, so they are naturally qualified to submit a letter to the palace and ask the imperial physician to visit them for treatment.
Although no one knew what had happened at the Pei family mansion, the imperial physician carrying a medicine box arrived soon. The imperial physician had white hair and beard, bright eyes, and walked steadily and powerfully.
"Greetings to Lord Pei, and Prince Pei. May I ask who needs medical attention?"
Master Pei pointed to the medicine bowl and said, "Excuse me, Imperial Physician, please help me take a look at what's in this medicine bowl."
