Chapter 60 Why is Rong Jianxue here?
Shen Qianfan stepped forward first and stood in front of Pei Jingxu.
In the crowd, a strong man pushed everyone away and stood up.
"Witch! What on earth are your intentions? You actually put drugs in the porridge!"
Shen Qianfan frowned and said in a cold voice: “This young man, you can’t say anything careless.”
"Humph, nonsense?" The strong man snorted coldly, pointing at the man lying in the shade not far away and foaming at the mouth, and shouted, "My brother drank the porridge sent by this witch and is now unconscious. How can you be talking nonsense!"
Behind Shen Qianfan, Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly.
She was right.
This story also happened in my previous life.
At that time, because it was Shen Qianfan who sent people to steal her food, the grain merchants vented their resentment on Shen Qianfan.
They used this method to frame Shen Qianfan, saying that Shen Qianfan had poisoned their porridge.
——In fact, this is just a method used by those grain merchants to send people to mingle in the refugee camp, hoping to make the refugees afraid and wary of Shen Qianfan!
In this life, because she "voluntarily" sold the grain at a low price, she was the one who was framed.
Pei Jingxu bit her lip and whispered, "I, I didn't poison you!"
"You still dare to say you didn't! Then tell me why my brother is like this!? He only ate your bowl of porridge today!"
Upon hearing this, a group of refugees widened their eyes, holding the bowl of porridge in their hands, their faces pale, and they talked a lot.
Shen Qianfan said in a deep voice: “Let me see the situation of this brother first.”
As they spoke, Shen Qianfan and Pei Jingxu followed the burly man forward and came to the "poisoned" man.
The man was foaming at the mouth, his eyes rolled back, his whole body was twitching, and he looked in very bad condition.
Shen Qianfan frowned and ordered the guard beside him: “Go and get the doctor.”
"Hey hey hey! Don't run!"
When the strong man saw the guard was about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him.
"My brother is almost dying now, are you going to take this opportunity to escape?!"
Shen Qianfan chuckled: "I just sent someone to ask a doctor to treat this brother. Since you are so worried about him, shouldn't you let the doctor come and treat him?"
"I don't care about that!" The burly man stalled for time. "That witch did it on purpose! She poisoned the porridge! Make her pay! Kowtow and apologize to my brother!"
The refugees nearby also surrounded the man and their expressions changed as they watched Pei Jingxu.
"Is this true...did this female Bodhisattva really poison the porridge?"
"Who knows? I think this girl is from a wealthy family. She wouldn't do such a thing, right?"
"Oh, you guys who aren't from the capital don't know that the Pei family has a terrible reputation in Chang'an!"
"Yes, yes, it was because Rong Jia Erlang married her that he died on the battlefield. This woman is not a bodhisattva at all, she is clearly a disaster!"
“It’s actually like this!”
"Oh, we can't drink this porridge! If we end up like this little brother, we won't even know how we died!"
“…”
Grain merchants also mixed into the crowd and brought out all the "stigmas" against Pei Jingxu in the capital.
Shen Qianfan listened to the discussions around him and continued to say to the strong man: “Young man, why don’t you let my people go and get a doctor first, and then make a decision after the doctor has examined him.”
"Don't tell me that! I'm a rough man and I don't understand!" the sturdy man shouted, "I want this witch to pay me back and kowtow to my brother!"
It's obvious that he wants to play rogue.
Pei Jingxu had guessed the plot in advance, so he asked Hongyao to call a doctor early in the morning, and the doctor should be here soon.
This man doesn't dare to let the doctor treat him, it's obvious that he is guilty.
Shen Qianfan narrowed his eyes.
The most important thing right now is to stabilize these refugees and not escalate the situation any further.
If what happened today was reported to his father by someone with ulterior motives, all his efforts over the past few days would be in vain.
So, the best thing to do now is...
Shen Qianfan turned around and looked at Pei Jingxu beside him: "Second Madam, why don't you apologize to them first."
——This is the easiest way.
Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes when he looked at Shen Qianfan.
Not surprise, not shock, not even disappointment.
It's just a little confusing, even confusing.
Shen Qianfan pursed his lips slightly and rubbed his fingertips a few times.
"Second Madam, bear with it for a moment and calm them down first. I will find out the truth later and clear your name."
Shen Qianfan took a few steps forward and whispered in Pei Jingxu's ear.
It's really inexplicable.
Pei Jingxu had never intended to rely on Chen Qianfan from the beginning. She could handle this matter alone, but he insisted on intervening.
——And you still say such things.
"Master Tai--Yuanzhou, my Second Lady has done nothing wrong. She doesn't need to apologize!"
Jiang Hui, who was standing by, couldn't listen any longer when he heard this!
He protected Pei Jingxu behind his back with one hand, and the other hand was already on the hilt of the sword, looking coldly at the burly man who was causing trouble.
"No apology? Good! Everyone, you saw it! This witch has ulterior motives. She poisoned the porridge and disregarded our lives. Are we refugees not worth a life in the eyes of her people in the capital?"
Someone in the crowd started to add fuel to the fire.
"Yes, yes! She's simply a witch who has no regard for her own life!"
"Call the police! Take her to the police!"
"Witch! Bah!"
“…”
Due to the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, the foul language among the crowd gradually increased.
"The doctor is here, everyone get out of the way!"
A voice came, and the noise in the crowd instantly became quieter.
When Pei Jingxu heard the voice, he curled his lips slightly and turned to look in the direction of the sound.
But when she saw who was coming, the smile on her face quickly disappeared.
——Why is Rong Jianxue here!?
Didn't she ask Hongyao to find a doctor? Where did Rong Jianxue get the information?
The sudden change made Pei Jingxu subconsciously lower her head. She moved her eyes, not quite understanding the current situation.
The man, dressed in a noble blue robe, with a tall and slender figure and a handsome appearance, appeared in front of everyone.
As he walked forward, the crowd automatically parted ways to allow him to reach the center.
Pei Jingxu still kept his head down.
Rong Jianxue glanced at her, pursed her thin lips, then nodded to the doctor beside her.
The doctor understood, took a few steps forward, took down the medicine box and took the pulse of the man on the ground.
The sudden appearance of the doctor caught the burly man off guard. He widened his eyes and looked at the newcomer in astonishment: "Who are you? How dare you touch my brother without permission!?"
Rong Jianxue's eyes were cold and her voice was calm. "If he really has been poisoned, he should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Why are you so reluctant to let a doctor treat him?"
"Nonsense! Who said I wouldn't let you? I'm just worried, worried that you're in cahoots. What if you do something to my brother?!"
Rong Jianxue stood straight and said, "Rong Jianxue, the eldest son of the Rong family, if I collude with them today, you don't need to tell me, you can all take me to the Dali Temple to file a complaint!"
After a while, the old doctor said with full energy: "This patient... not to mention being poisoned, there is nothing wrong with his body and he is very healthy."
"That's nonsense!" The burly man was clearly anxious, pointing at Pei Jingxu and saying, "My brother is like this because he drank the porridge made by this witch! There's something wrong with her!"
Rong Jianxue heard this and said nothing.
He reached for the refugee's bowl of porridge and drank it all in one gulp without a second thought.
