Chapter 151 Framed
Mother Wen responded and instructed the maids to start with the diet. From this morning till noon, all the food that Liu had eaten was checked one by one. She even asked the kitchen to carry the泔水桶 to the yard and ask the doctor to check carefully to see if it was something that could cause miscarriage.
"Madam, this matter is of great importance. Would you like to ask the master to return home?" Aunt Yao said.
Fanghua pinched her fingers angrily and replied, "I have already reported this to Chief Steward Du, and he has sent a servant to the Ministry of Works to ask the master to return home."
After Mother Wen finished checking Liu's diet, Lu Youping's muscular figure was walking in with big strides, his handsome face full of gloom, as if a storm was about to come.
As soon as Liu saw Lu Youping, she burst into tears, her cry was sad and melodious.
Lu Youping suddenly felt distressed.
Not only did he feel sorry for Liu, but he also felt even more sorry for his lost child.
Mother Wen went into the room to report to the old lady. After hearing this, Lu Youping's expression became even uglier: "Mother, what you mean is that Liu had a miscarriage caused by someone?"
When he thought of this possibility, Lu Youping became extremely angry. His body shook suddenly, and the old lady jumped up from the bed in fright.
"What's going on?"
"Mom, it's okay. I was just too shocked and angry." Lu Youping said.
The old lady looked at him nervously: "Are you really okay? Sit down quickly, don't worry, the matter is still under investigation."
Lu Youping sat down and looked at Mother Wen and said, "Have you checked everything about your diet and there is no problem?"
"Master, I have checked everything that Aunt Liu ate and drank today. There is no problem."
Lu Youping said coldly, "Then we'll check it out. Since she got pregnant, we'll check everything that was sent to Heyuan from outside."
There is quite a lot of that stuff.
Fanghua asked: "Master, all of them?"
"Well, check the ones used since your aunt became pregnant and those sent to the Heyuan from that time to now."
There is no smoke without fire. How could Liu suddenly have a miscarriage? There is nothing wrong with this.
Fanghua received instructions and asked the maids in the Heyuan to move all the things out.
Because Liu was pregnant, the old lady and Lu Youping gave her a lot of good things. Aunt Yao and three others also sent gifts. In addition to the things Liu had used herself during this period, the house was full to the brim and she had no idea where to put them.
The person Liu wanted to frame the most was Lu Xiang, but Lu was a junior and Liu was her aunt. She had never sent anything to Heyuan, so even if Liu wanted to frame her, she had no idea where to start.
This whole process took up an entire afternoon.
Doctor Li worked anxiously, glancing at Lu Xiang from time to time, his triangular eyes full of grievance and resentment.
Aunt Lin, Aunt Yao and Zhao Qingya were all standing at first, but after a while they each found an embroidered stool or a low table to sit on. Since the old lady and the master had not left, they did not dare to leave either, as they wanted to know who caused Liu's miscarriage.
"What do you think about this?" Aunt Lin looked at the busy maids and doctors in the room and asked quietly in Aunt Yao's ear.
Aunt Yao looked at Aunt Lin with a serious expression: "Aunt Lin, when you said this, did you see something?"
Aunt Lin smiled awkwardly and said, "No, I was just wondering who wanted to harm Aunt Liu. To be honest, the only one in our house who has a grudge against Aunt Liu is Miss San."
Aunt Yao looked at Aunt Lin in astonishment, somewhat surprised that she would take the initiative to say these words to her.
Aunt Lin is the most cautious person.
"Yuxiang died suddenly in your bed. It's a strange thing that can't be explained. There's also a rift between you and the third lady. I know you're close to Liu, so if nothing else, I have to do something for my daughter." Aunt Lin added.
She kept a low profile before because it did not affect her interests, but ever since Zhao Qingya was made a concubine, Aunt Lin felt deeply threatened.
Zhao Qingya has the old lady as her backer, and is close to Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru. He is young and favored by the master. It is no exaggeration to say that he has the final say in the mansion. If he gives birth to a son in the future, he will be the only one in charge of the Lu family.
She is alone. If she doesn't build up allies now, she will be suppressed and unable to hold her head up in the future.
Aunt Yao glanced at Aunt Lin, and after a while she whispered, "The Third Miss never sent anything to the Lotus Courtyard, so this matter cannot be blamed on her."
Aunt Lin came closer on her own initiative, so there was no reason for her to push her away.
Lu Xiang is not easy to deal with, and he has been exposed. Now that he has Liu as a helper, he has a better chance of success.
Isn’t Aunt Liu plotting against Lu Xiang?
Aunt Lin understood what Aunt Yao meant and was startled. When she wanted to ask more questions, something suddenly flashed through her mind and she quickly lowered her head.
It’s not Lu Xiang, the person that Aunt Liu hates the most is her new concubine, Zhao Qingya!
Aunt Lin didn't dare to look at Zhao Qingya, for fear that if she showed any unusual behavior, she would be discovered.
Lu Xiang took advantage of the break to pour tea for Lu Youping and the old lady: "Grandma, father, have some tea."
Old lady: "Okay."
Everyone in Heyuan was checking Liu's things. They were all very nervous because Liu might have been framed for her miscarriage, and no one had time to drink tea for such a long time.
The old lady and Lu Youping were holding the lotus cups, and only then did they realize that they were indeed thirsty after sitting for so long.
Seeing that everything in the room had been checked one by one, and the doctor didn't say anything wrong, Fanghua suddenly looked at Liu and said, "Oh, and there's your pillow." As she spoke, she stepped forward and took away the pillow that Liu had been sleeping on, then turned around and told a maid, "Linhuan, get your pillow a new one."
"Yes." Lin Huan replied, turned around and took a pillow from the cabinet and gave it to Liu.
Fanghua handed the pillow to Doctor Li and said, "Doctor, take a look at this to see if there is anything wrong with it."
Doctor Li's eyelids twitched slightly, and he took it calmly and put it to his nose and smelled it: "Huh?"
This sound caused everyone in the room to look towards him.
Lu Youping asked hurriedly: "But what did you notice?"
The doctor did not answer his question directly, but leaned in and sniffed carefully: "The smell is a bit wrong. Something is placed in the pillow."
Liu weakly propped herself up: "It's the night massage to calm the spirit..."
"No." Doctor Li said with a gloomy face: "Bring the scissors."
Fanghua immediately handed him the scissors.
Zhao Qingya was startled when she heard the doctor's words and stood up from the stool reflexively.
Liu looked at her seriously, her eyes sad and complaining: "Aunt Zhao, when you brought it here, didn't you say that you put Ye Jiao Teng in it to calm the nerves? Why did you put something else in it?"
Zhao Qingya?
Lu Youping's eyes suddenly shot towards her. The doctor meant that there was something wrong with the pillow.
And this calming pillow was given to Liu by her?
The old lady also looked at Zhao Qingya in disbelief and shock.
Mother Wen felt a sudden "boom" in her mind, and everything went blank.
Zhao Qingya shook her head in panic: "No... No, I didn't. I heard that Aunt Liu couldn't sleep well at night. This... This is a pillow to calm her nerves."
