When the second master heard that Chen Ke and his wife were still unconscious and had not woken up, he could not ask them any questions.
"Since Chen Ke hasn't woken up yet, let's wait until she wakes up tomorrow and ask her." The second master said with a gloomy face and asked the second lady to go back first.
The second lady bowed slightly to the old lady, then followed the second master without any hesitation.
The old lady was so angry at the couple from the second house that she trembled with her hands for a long time before she returned to her own courtyard with the help of Aunt Zhang.
Marquis Wu'an had a gloomy face and ordered his men to keep the matchmaker under guard until Chen Ke woke up tomorrow.
"Master, I don't want to be the head of this family anymore." The second wife said to the second master a little tiredly after returning to the yard.
She has been very tired these days, not only physically but also mentally. Whoever wants to be in charge of this family can do so. She feels that if she continues to manage it for another two years, she will definitely get sick!
"Go talk to mother tomorrow and ask her to arrange someone else to take care of the household!" The second master also agreed that the second lady would not take care of the household. His son Chen Rui was already married, so he just needed to take care of his own household affairs. They didn't have to worry about his eldest brother's mansion.
So as to avoid being in a thankless position!
The next day, Dr. Cao was invited to Chen Ke's yard early in the morning.
It turned out that Chen Ke and Liu Jiner had woken up.
After Doctor Cao examined them and confirmed that they were fine, he was called to the old lady's yard.
At this moment, all the masters who could come to the old lady's yard had arrived.
One is that the new daughter-in-law Liu Jiner wants to toast, and the other is to ask about the poisoning incident last night.
The old lady was sitting in the middle of the hall.
Marquis Wu'an sat next to the old lady.
Others also found their own places to sit or stand.
Chen Ke and Liu Jin'er's faces were still a little pale when they came in.
The Third Madam's eyes flickered. She felt something was wrong yesterday, and today when she saw Chen Ke and Liu Jin'er's expressions, she felt a little uncertain.
I don’t know whether I should say that?
But if she didn't say it, the old lady would blame it on her second sister-in-law.
In this mansion, she knew that she was a little impulsive and not very smart. If it weren't for her second sister-in-law Zheng who always pulled her back, she didn't know what would happen!
So the Third Lady looked at Liu Jin'er, then at her second sister-in-law, and no one knew what she was thinking.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Liu Jin'er and Shen Ke, and no one noticed that something was wrong with the Third Madam.
"Let's serve tea first!" The old lady spoke first.
After all, she is a new bride-in-law, so let’s serve her tea first and then talk about other things.
Naturally, others had no objections.
I didn’t expect that serving tea would cause such trouble!
Everything was going well when the tea was served to the Second Madam. When Liu Jin'er was holding the tea bowl, the Second Madam stretched out her hand, but before she touched the tea bowl, Liu Jin'er cried out, and the tea bowl fell to the ground.
The Second Madam was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, Chen Ke was unhappy. "Second Aunt, if you don't want to accept the tea my wife is offering you, you don't have to. Why do you have to break it like this?"
When the Second Madam realized what was happening, she almost laughed out loud, "I didn't even touch it, how could I say it was broken?"
The Second Madam just couldn't understand why Chen Ke kept picking on her.
She felt that she had done nothing wrong to him, right?
"Chen Ke, how do you talk to your second aunt?" The second master's expression, which had eased a little, suddenly became ugly again.
The poisoning incident yesterday has not been resolved yet, and now this has happened again, which makes him suspect that this is aimed at their second branch.
"As an elder, Second Aunt is making things difficult for my wife. Can't I say anything?" Chen Ke stared at the Second Master with a pair of sinister eyes, as if she were a poisonous snake, which made people shudder!
Everyone in the room felt uneasy when they saw Chen Ke's vicious look.
I don’t know when Chen Ke became like this!
The Second Master didn't want to argue with a junior, so he turned to Marquis Wu'an and said, "Brother, did you see what happened just now? Did your sister-in-law do this on purpose?"
Everyone saw it clearly just now. It was Liu Jin'er who deliberately dropped the tea bowl.
"Liu Jin'er, you've just walked in, and you haven't even finished serving tea, and you're already starting a fight. Do you think everyone in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is stupid?"
The third wife couldn't stand it anymore and started to retort.
She is not afraid of Chen Ke and the others.
Liu was exiled, and the Lingxiu Marquisate that supported him had its title taken away. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't make any waves.
"I didn't, Third Aunt, please don't be so angry!" Liu Jin'er began to cry with her face covered. "I know Third Aunt and Second Aunt have a good relationship, but you can't just accuse your niece-in-law, right?"
Before Liu Jiner finished offering the tea, she started crying as if she had been wronged.
Chen Ke's expression grew even darker. He walked over and pulled Liu Jin'er up. "Since Second Uncle and Second Aunt look down on us, there's no need to offer tea."
Marquis Wu'an had been watching from the sidelines, but when he saw Chen Ke getting more and more aggressive, he slammed the table and said, "Everyone, sit down. Liu, as a new daughter-in-law, you should listen carefully to what your elders say. Why are you crying like this?"
Liu Jin'er was so frightened by Marquis Wu'an's voice that she dared not cry anymore. Chen Ke had a gloomy face and did not continue speaking.
Later, the second wife did not accept the tea and directly asked the third wife to take it.
After the tea was served, he began to ask about the poisoning incident yesterday.
"Ke'er, what happened yesterday? Who poisoned you?" the old lady asked first.
"Grandma, we didn't know. We fell asleep later. Who knew the wine would be poisonous?" Chen Ke said angrily when she saw the old lady asking.
"That's strange. If you didn't know, then why was the poison only found in your wine glasses?" The Second Lady asked back bluntly.
Now she fully suspected that this matter was definitely planned by Chen Ke and Liu Jin'er, just to put the blame on her.
Although she didn't know what their purpose was in saying this, judging from today's toast, it was definitely done by the couple.
"How do we know this?" Chen Ke replied in a deep voice, "Isn't it Second Aunt who arranged all this?"
There is no way Shen Ke would admit that he did this!
Since he probably wouldn't get any information out of this, Wu An Hou started to find everyone who had come into contact with the wedding wine and wine glasses yesterday and began to interrogate them one by one.
However, all the servants tried to use threats and bribes, but still could not find out who poisoned him.
Marquis Wu'an's face looked a little ugly. It was impossible for him to sell out all his servants.
Just as everyone was suspicious of each other, the Third Madam couldn't help but stand up and say, "Three days ago, I saw Liu Jin'er's maid go to the pharmacy to buy medicine."
She discovered this by chance when she went out to buy jewelry that day.
Because Liu Jin'er was about to become Chen Ke's wife, she paid special attention to Liu Jin'er's maid when she saw her.
Although she didn't know what medicine her maid bought, she felt that this matter was definitely related to Liu Jin'er!
