Everyone looked down on the person who gossiped about the lady, but no one knew who it was. The lady is different now, and she is as good as the marquis in dealing with people. It is better for her to be obedient.
Everyone created a virtual person to act as her supervisor, so they worked much more seriously.
After finishing the government affairs, Bai Zhiyue planned to visit the old lady. Everyone knew that Rong had poisoned the old lady, but Su Chen had just ordered not to tell the old lady. Bai Zhiyue felt that she had the right to know the truth.
When she arrived, Nanny Hua had just finished feeding the old lady her morning medicine.
"My lady is here!"
The little maid outside reported to the inside. If it were in the past, she would definitely be stopped and then reported to the old lady, who would make her stand outside for a long time. The insiders would either not say a word to her or scold her through the curtain. But now, no one would stop her.
Jinling came out first
"Madam, you are here to visit the old lady, please come in!"
Look, the treatment is completely different. The old lady is unreliable and won't live long. I don't know how many people in this courtyard can stay. They still want to have a good place to go. This is reality.
"Well, the old lady is awake."
"Mammy just gave me medicine and she hasn't gone to bed yet."
"That's a coincidence. I have something to discuss with the old lady."
Seeing Aunt Hua carefully and gently wiping the medicine from Zhang's mouth, cleaning her face and tidying her clothes, it was clear that the master and servant had a deep affection for each other.
"Auntie Hua is very attentive"
Jinling also sighed
"Thanks to Nanny Hua, the old lady has been talking incoherently since yesterday, and the servants often can't understand her. But Nanny understands the old lady and knows what she needs."
"Of course not. It's decades of master-servant friendship."
Deep enough to steal a man together
She took a few steps forward and walked to Zhang's bed.
"Madam, the old lady has a high fever and can't speak. If you have anything to say, you'd better wait until she gets better!"
Zhang was still conscious and not unconscious. Seeing Bai Zhiyue, she pressed Hua Ma's hand, signaling her to let them stay. She wanted to know what Bai wanted to say. This was the first time she had come to her courtyard since being released from confinement.
Aunt Hua was worried that Bai Zhiyue would tell everyone about Rong's poisoning, and the old lady might not be able to bear it.
Now, if she lives one more day, I can live one more day.
"Madam, please don't report such trivial matters to the old lady. If there is anything that requires a decision, it is better to ask the Marquis for instructions!"
"It's not a small matter. It's a big matter concerning the old lady and the nanny."
Bai Zhiyue didn't hide from others and leaned over to whisper something in Zhang's ear.
"Madam~"
Aunt Hua is very anxious
"You see, Mammy doesn't want me to tell you!"
The more Zhang thought about it, the more she wanted to hear it, and she held the nanny's hand tightly, asking her to agree.
Aunt Hua had no choice but to dismiss the other servants and whispered to Bai Zhiyue with her back to the lady,
"The old lady only has a few days left to live. Can't you let her pass away in peace?"
"What kind of peace of mind is this? The peace of mind of not knowing the truth until death?"
"The Marquis ordered that no one be told to tell the old lady. What exactly do you want to do? Don't you even listen to the Marquis's words?"
"He said it as if he would kill me if I didn't obey him. He didn't let me off even if I obeyed him. You guys didn't let me off either, did you?"
Aunt Hua was shocked
"What's the meaning?"
"You know it clearly in your heart, and you still want me to say it? Now get out too, do you need me to take you out?"
She looked at the old lady, and Zhang also gestured for her to go out.
She had to leave the inner room and go outside, but she was worried, so she sent someone to look for the Marquis, but Su Chengang was on duty today and was not in the mansion.
Everyone went out. Bai Zhiyue took out a pill and stuffed it into Zhang's mouth. It was a cardiotonic medicine to prevent her from getting angry to death.
After the medicine took effect, the old lady looked much better and was able to speak coherently.
"What did you use on me?"
"This medicine will keep you alive for now."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm telling you the truth, the truth about your illness and poisoning, so you can be a clear-headed ghost."
"Am I poisoned? Not just a cold?"
"Of course, it was probably just a cold at first, but now the poison has spread to his heart and lungs. He won't live for many days."
"So that's it, it's the Rong family?"
She didn't react much to this.
"Yes, you guessed it right."
"I knew that this black-hearted woman was cruel and mean-spirited. Even if I die, I will make her be buried with me."
"That's not all. Can you guess how you caught a cold?"
"Isn't it because of the shock that the evil wind entered the body?"
"Oh"
The old lady suddenly thought of Aunt Hua's abnormal behavior during that period.
"Was it intentional? Was it someone close to me?"
Bai Zhiyue admired the old lady for her quick understanding.
"Old Madam Liu Yong is very useful. In nine years, even horses can run on the old marquis's head."
Zhang's eyes narrowed
"How did you know? Were you the one who set the fire?"
"You didn't expect that Qingyu's burning incense balls were not very clean, and I found them!"
Thinking of Qingyu's death, and then thinking of the fire that was deliberately set to attract people.
"We all underestimated you. You are here to take revenge on me."
"The focus isn't on me. Your own son threatened Madam Hua to do it. She's working hard to close the skylight on time every day. His request is simple: he wants you to die quickly, lest anyone find out about your mother's infidelity and damage his reputation, putting his position as Marquis at risk."
Zhang seemed to have no strength left after hearing this.
"He~haha my good son!"
"The funny thing is that your son wanted you dead, and Rong Shi had just started poisoning you before, completely covering it up. If you didn't know the truth, and saw how crazy he was yesterday, you would think he was really filial and valued you.
Do you know why Nanny Hua takes such good care of you? If you die, she must die too. The Marquis won't let her live another day.
So you see how pathetic you are. Your son wants you dead, your wife and concubines want you dead, and the people around you betray you and want you dead. I just took advantage of you a little bit and let you kill each other. It really gives you a good time.
Zhang's face changed and she had difficulty breathing.
"You're so vicious!"
"Unlike you, I didn't do any of this. I just provided some information support."
Seeing that Zhang couldn't bear the stimulation and was about to collapse,
"I'll also give you an unimportant piece of news. Aunt Hua often goes to date Liu Yong. You two can be considered to be sharing an adulterer. You really are a perfect pair of master and servant."
Zhang spat out a mouthful of black blood and fell on the bed, but she couldn't die immediately because of the cardiotonic medicine.
She hasn't told him about Rong's affair and the illegitimate child. Forget it, let's not talk about it, lest she really suffocate and die in her own hands.
"Come here"
Aunt Hua and Jin Ling rushed into the house and saw Zhang like this.
"Why is the old lady like this?"
"Oh, just tell her the truth. Maybe it will make her feel better if she spits out the poisonous blood."
