Rong Jinghe was able to endure it and hold on. Of course, he couldn't do anything to Bai Zhiyue, so he had to let the servants in the house carry his parents, along with the dead and injured men, back to the mansion under the escort of the guards.
Before leaving, Bai Zhiyue said,
"Don't forget to come back and apologize to me. This lady is waiting for you in the mansion."
Rong Jing and a staggered
After arguing with the people and winning the battle, Bai Zhiyue was very happy. She sent the guests away one by one and prepared return gifts for them. She packed various dried fruits and snacks in the space in red handbags, and gave one to each family. That was the intention.
After sending the person away, he didn't even pay attention to Su Chengang and went back to the yard.
"It's been such a great day today. Mom is so awesome."
"Just say it's better to do it yourself!"
"I feel it. Su Chengang is trying to harm you again."
"He's a spineless piece of grass. In the past, the old lady always supported him, but now he doesn't listen to her anymore. He makes his own decisions but always changes them. He goes wherever the wind blows.
To put it nicely, it's just a matter of following the situation, but in reality, it's just a lack of decisiveness. Otherwise, the Rong family would have been in such a state and almost taken control of the Su family."
"The Rong family has lost so much face, do you think they will be desperate and do something desperate?"
"Unless he doesn't want to be in the court anymore, Su Chengang also hates them now, so we can just watch the show and bully the scum appropriately.
"Mrs. Qu was injured, so we took the opportunity to remove the wet nurse. I sent someone to look for a dairy cow a few days ago. I wonder if they can get one back. You can mix some nutritional supplements to fill your stomach for now. If you can't find one in the next day or two, go to the farm and get a milk-producing sheep."
"Okay, since we don't need a wet nurse, I'm going to sleep first. I'm a little tired."
"Go to sleep. You haven't been able to sleep all morning. You must be exhausted. I'll watch over you as you sleep."
Old Madam Zhang went back halfway through the banquet. She was a little exhausted, and when she heard about what happened in the Rong family, she was so excited that she almost fainted. When she woke up, she had a high fever again.
"Go call Gang'er, I want to see him!"
Although she had a high fever, she still shouted for Nanny Hua to go find the Marquis.
"Don't worry, old lady. Take the medicine first. I'll go call the Marquis."
Su Chen just heard the old lady fall down again, stroking the handle in his hand,
"Yan Dong, please ask the imperial physician again."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
"Why did the old lady call me?"
"I don't know, she fell down anxiously after hearing about the Rong family's affairs. I think it was because of this matter."
"Well, let's go and take a look!"
When they left, they walked in a hurry. In the yard, Su Chengang started to scold the servants.
"The old lady's condition has just begun to improve, and you servants are so clueless, reporting everything to her. Whoever reported it will be dragged out and spanked thirty times."
He hurried into the house while giving orders.
"Mom, don't worry about these things. It's more important to take care of your health."
Zhang opened her eyes when she heard the Marquis coming.
"Gang'er, listen to me. Rong Shi can't be allowed to stay. She's toxic to her core. Keeping someone like her in the mansion will only bring ruin to the family. Bai Shi can't be allowed to stay either. She's different now. She's full of tricks and schemes. She must hate us deeply and will do you no good."
Zhang is worthy of being an old lady who has been in power for decades, and her judgment is very accurate.
"Mom, I know what's going on. Just focus on recovering."
He had already made plans for Rong. As for Bai, he had been a little hesitant before, but now it seemed that he really couldn't keep her. It would be better for him to marry another girl from an official family in the future. Even if she couldn't have children in the future, it wouldn't affect him.
It was not his fault that his second wife was infertile, as he already had two children.
Seeing that Gang'er agreed without any displeasure, Zhang put aside the heavy things in her mind and fell into a deep sleep.
This time, two imperial physicians came, the previous imperial physician Zhong and another imperial physician Li who was good at treating miscellaneous diseases and recuperation.
After the two examined the patient one after another, they looked at each other and examined the patient again.
Su Chengang thought that the old lady didn't have much time left, and he was about to let go of the tension in his heart.
There was no way to find out. The arsonist came and went like the wind, and there was no trace at all. He was like a thunder that could shock him at any time.
"My Lord, I have diagnosed that the old lady was poisoned."
Doctor Li
"What did you say?"
Su Chen stood up immediately
"I also suspect poison. The onset of this poison is like a cold, and it's not noticeable at first."
"How is this possible? How could this happen? Can you explain it?"
"The poison has already entered his heart and lungs, and this time I'm afraid it's compounding the poison."
He kept wondering in his heart who was going to attack the old lady, before him or after him?
"Please ask the imperial physician to think of a way to save the old lady at all costs."
"Well, we're not sure, so we can only prescribe a prescription and try it out!"
"Okay, we'll try it anyway, any medicine will do."
At this time, he must be a filial son
However, someone attacked the old lady, which just happened to cover up his actions. He must find out who this person is.
After sending the two imperial doctors away, Su Chengang sealed off the entire yard and had people interrogate each person one by one, but there was no progress and no discoveries.
He called Aunt Hua to interrogate her alone.
"Are you aware of this? Did you do it?"
Aunt Hua's head was swollen from the bump.
"My Lord, this was definitely not my doing. I only followed your instructions and occasionally opened the window to make the old lady's illness worse. There was no need to poison her. Moreover, I have never heard of this kind of medicine. I have never left the house during this period and have no contact with the outside world. My Lord will know once he investigates."
"Then think about who has been acting strangely recently. This person might be the one who set the fire!"
Aunt Hua carefully recalled all the people in Xiyuan.
"No, I really didn't notice anything unusual. It's unlikely that someone from Xiyuan did it. Everyone in the courtyard has investigated and investigated everything. They know everything about the old lady and have no grudges against her. It's impossible that they did it.
"My Lord, you can check the main kitchen. All the food and necessities for the old lady were sent by the main kitchen. Could it be that they did this?"
"What grudge do they have against the old lady that would make them do such a thing? And where did the medicine come from?"
"I don't know about this servant."
Su Chengang didn't ask any more questions and released the people in the yard first. However, they were not allowed to enter or leave at will, which was equivalent to confining them all in Xiyuan.
When Xiang Cui learned that Xiyuan was sealed, she knew that the old lady must have been poisoned. At night, she secretly dug a hole and buried the remaining medicine in the corner of the wall of the courtyard where she lived. The hairpin was still stuck in her hair without moving.
Feiniao No. 2 went to Bai Zhiyue's yard just after Su Chen left.
"Jiji, the old lady has been poisoned, the imperial physician has confirmed it, and Aunt Hua is pointing to the main kitchen."
"What did the imperial physician say?"
[This poison resembles a cold, leading to the initial misdiagnosis. Now that it has entered the heart and lungs, I'm afraid it's difficult to save.]
"Su Chengang didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. Someone actually made a move before him, which could be considered as helping him. Did it point to the main kitchen? I have to find a way to push it again."
