Still in a daze, the cook had already been brought into the hall, his hands were tied by two rough men, and when he saw Zhuang Shiyang, he shouted loudly: "Master, I am wronged, the little one didn't poison the food, and the little one didn't poison anything." have no idea!"

Zhuang Shiyang just looked at him viciously, and told the boy: "Drag it out and beat it until you say it!"

The cook was a middle-aged fat man, his face turned pale with fright, he immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, but when he lowered his head, a golden thing fell out of his chest. Nanny Li next to Mrs. Zhou quickly picked it up and took a look: "It's a gold hairpin for a woman." After speaking, she ran to Mrs. Zhou's side: "Master, this hairpin doesn't look like something ordinary girls can afford..."

Han Yan suddenly understood in her heart that the relationship between the scenes is all set up today, Aunt Mei might be in trouble this time, she turned her head, but saw Aunt Wan staring at the hairpin in Nanny Li's hand, her face was as pale as paper.

The doctor rushed over quickly, and Mrs. Zhou quickly laid Zhuang Yushan flat on the soft couch in the house. The doctor helped Fumai, and Zhuang Shiyang quickly asked, "How is Yu'er?"

The doctor was a middle-aged man, only Hanyan looked at him with shrewd eyes, cupped his hands to Zhuang Shiyang and said: "My lord, don't be surprised, this lady is poisoned, this poison will cause abdominal pain, but fortunately, the lady took a small amount, old man Prescribe a prescription, and take two doses of medicine for the young lady to take, and rest for two days to recover."

Zhuang Shiyang was so busy that he asked the doctor to look at the plate of white rabbit cakes on the table. Living in a mansion, ordinary doctors would understand these things to some extent. He hesitated for a moment, then broke open the pastry, put it under his nose and smelled it, frowned and said: "I'm afraid there is a lot of poison in this pastry."

Zhuang Shiyang understood, and asked the doctor to pay the doctor's money and sent him out. Han Yan noticed that the doctor and Zhou looked at each other before leaving, and the eyes met with deep meaning.

After seeing off the doctor, Zhuang Shiyang returned to the hall, dragged up the cook who had just received twenty boards, and said in a calm voice, "Now tell me, who told you to poison the pastry?"

Even though the cook is a servant, he usually provides food and drink for him, so he has never suffered so much. As soon as the 20th board went down, the man was already on the verge of death, bleeding from the corner of his mouth and said: "Master, the villain was wronged, but the villain did not poison."

However, Mrs. Zhou stepped forward quickly, and said sadly: "You didn't poison it? Why did the doctor say that there is something wrong with the pastry, not to mention the golden hairpin in your arms? Could it be that someone bought it, and you are a servant, how did you get it?"

Zhuang Shiyang stared at the people below with sullen eyes: "Tell me, who gave you the hairpin?"

The cook shouted, "Master, the villain really doesn't know, it was Xing'er, the girl next to Auntie Wan, who gave it to the servant, and said it was a reward for the villain's hard work."

Nanny Li narrowed her eyes: "That hairpin is worth tens of taels of silver, and your reward is too high for one of your servants. Don't pour this dirty water on Aunt Wan!"

Han Yan has been standing on the sidelines watching the development of the situation, but saw Zhuang Qin biting her lip, and Aunt Wan's face was pale, almost fainting.

Zhuang Shiyang turned to Aunt Wan, and said coldly: "Is this hairpin yours?"

"Master, it's my concubine's body." Aunt Wan replied with difficulty.

But here, Mrs. Zhou already felt something was wrong. She had already bought off the people in the Furong Garden, and she knew what Aunt Mei was planning, so she simply followed her plan and asked her to shoot herself in the foot. But how did this hairpin belong to Aunt Wan?

She was a little anxious for a moment, Aunt Wan was soft-tempered, and it would not be too late to clean up afterward, and now she was going to bring down Aunt Mei, so she persuaded: "Master, I see that Sister Wan is kind and good at speaking, I'm afraid There is some misunderstanding in it, don't be used by others."

Hanyan squinted her eyes, and her eyes fell on Aunt Mei, only to see that her brows were relaxed at this moment, obviously she knew it early in the morning.

"How did your hairpin appear on the servant?" Zhuang Shiyang looked at this dull woman, his heart was filled with fury.

"I lost my hairpin a few days ago." Aunt Wan had tears in her eyes, her expression did not seem to be fake.

"Bring Xing'er up!" Zhuang Shiyang ordered his servants with a cold face.

Xing'er is Aunt Wan's personal servant girl. When she was brought up, her face turned pale with fright. At this moment, the cook who had been gritting her teeth and insisting on being wronged suddenly yelled: "It's her! She said the other day that Madam is considerate of a villain and cooks with her heart I rewarded this hairpin for food. Seeing the hairpin was happy, the villain... couldn't wait to ask the price, and then the villain left the kitchen, only this girl! She must have poisoned the pastry!"

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Han Yan's eyes, just now he was so pitiful that he couldn't speak, but suddenly changed his confession. This dirty water is really blatant!

Zhuang Shiyang was furious: "Is what you said true?"

The cook spat out a mouthful of blood before saying: "Don't dare to lie to the master."

With a "pop", Zhuang Shiyang smashed the teacup in his hand in a fit of anger, looked at Aunt Wan viciously and said, "What else do you have to say now?"

A trace of despair flashed in Aunt Wan's eyes, she looked at the cook lying on the ground in disbelief, then at Zhuang Shiyang, and closed her eyes suddenly.

But hearing a "plop", Zhuang Qin knelt down on the ground: "Father, it must not belong to my aunt! If my aunt really intends to poison, why bother to leave a golden hairpin to attract people's tongues. Besides, my aunt never argues about...Dad!" The little face was full of tears, but if you looked at it with your heart, you could find the resentment in her eyes.

Hanyan sighed inwardly, Aunt Wan was used to make a raft, Zhou family wanted to bring down Aunt Mei, but Aunt Mei saved a hand and led the disaster to Aunt Wan, in the end they fought and fought, and the most innocent person turned out to be Received a fine.

Zhuang Shiyang knew that what Zhuang Qin said was reasonable, and the people in his family still knew the virtues. Although Aunt Wan is not favored, she has kept herself safe for so many years and never made any mistakes. Now that he wants to harm his daughter with poison, he will never believe it. It's just that Zhuang Qin's words already questioned his sovereignty as the head of the family, so she was very displeased: "Don't speak for her! She's just a lowly concubine, think of yourself as something!"

Zhuang Qin shook her body, clenched her lips tightly, and knelt straight, as if she was not afraid of losing.

Hanyan felt uncomfortable in his heart, and a feeling of sympathy and sympathy emerged spontaneously. Zhuang Hanming had already left the Imperial College on the grounds of Shang Guozijian, and Hanyan didn't want him to see these smoky things.

But Zhuang Shiyang had thought about the matter for a while, and knew that something strange happened today, and it was probably someone else who did it. The Hanyan siblings in this house are too young, and Aunt Wan is soft-tempered, the only one who might stir up trouble is Aunt Mei. Although he was annoyed, he couldn't bear to be angry with Aunt Mei. After all, he was a concubine who had been doting on her for so many years, and he couldn't do without that body. More importantly, he needs Aunt Mei to balance the power in the mansion, and he cannot let the Zhou family dominate alone.
