Chapter 20: We're finally going to meet?
When Mr. Yu was treating his son's illness, Mr. Lai didn't blink. He was still shocked until now. At that time, the maid told him that he would treat his son's illness. He thought he was a doctor from outside, but he didn't want to come. Master Yu himself.
When he let go of his son's wrist, Mr. Lai couldn't help asking, "Master Yu, how is my son's illness?"
With the help of Yujin, Song Yu slowly stood up.
Before he could speak, the boy on the bed spoke, "My father also found a doctor for me, but he couldn't diagnose any disease. It was useless to take the medicine. Only the pills left by the doctor invited by the uncle were relieved after taking the symptoms. That's why my father treated him as a life-saving straw and did what he shouldn't have done."
Butler Lai next to him lowered his head guiltily.
Song Yu sighed, "You are not physically ill, you are poisoned."
The father and son were stunned.
Song Yu said, "The medicines you take have antidote effects, so you feel that the symptoms improve. However, because the medicines are not effective enough, there is still toxicity in the body, and with the toxicity erosion, it will become worse and worse."
Butler Lai subconsciously asked, "Can that solve it?"
Song Yu said, "The days of poisoning are relatively short, so it is not difficult to solve. Just find all the medicinal materials."
Butler Lai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his son, "No matter what medicine, my father will find a way for you."
Song Yu said, "There is no need to find it specifically. My mother is collecting herbs. It may be a while later. Before that, I will use the needle to control the toxicity."
Butler Lai has always been able to observe his words and expressions. When he saw him performing needles, he knew that Young Master Yu was a real person. He was shocked and felt even more ashamed. He knelt down with a plop, "I am ashamed of you."
"What is this for?" Song Yu quickly helped the person up and joked, "You said something bad, but you were beaten up by my mother."
After hearing this, not only Yujin, but also the boy on the bed couldn't help laughing.
Butler Lai was embarrassed for a while and laughed.
There is no need to think about how the poison came about. It must be the poison that the old man used to let him do his job.
"What are your plans in the future?" Song Yu asked when he left.
Butler Lai sighed, "When my son recovers from his illness, I will take him back to his hometown." In order to compensate him, the old lady took him away from his slavery and gave him a lot of money. She returned to her hometown to buy a piece of land and could live a good life.
Even now that he knew that all this was the old man's method, he never thought that he would go to the government to sue, and even if he sued, he would not win. Not to mention whether the old man would let him go, even the old lady might beside him for her son.
Song Yu naturally knew his concerns, and she didn't know what to say except sighing.
When he walked to the door, Butler Lai suddenly called him, "Master Yu, be careful of Mrs. Mei."
"Madam Mei?" Yu Jin was stunned for a moment. When he wanted to ask, Butler Lai had already returned. Yu Jin was about to chase him, but Song Yu waved his hand at her, "Madam Mei is my uncle's concubine, and she has been in the mansion two years ago."
"Be careful of her? Why? She is just a concubine." Yu Jin didn't understand very well.
Song Yu said: "It is said that my uncle obeyed her."
Yu Jin suddenly realized, "Can she be involved in these things?"
"Since he wants us to be careful, she must be not simple. Don't underestimate the butler. They even know the people in this courtyard better than the master."
Yujin said, "He is quite conscience."
"He is also a chess piece that has been plotted against. He did all this just for his son." He was born as a slave, and even if he was killed, he had nowhere to seek justice.
Just thinking about the poison on the young man's body, Song Yu's face became colder. Yingying's poison and herself, all the poisoning methods came from the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Yes, she also has poison, which is a poison that makes people irritable and crazy. She was discovered by her master shortly after she went out. It took a long time to help her drive away it. It was precisely because she had some understanding of the poison in Nanjin that she could easily diagnose the poison in Yingying and Lai’s son.
What she wants to investigate is not only the stabbing incident, but also the poison incident. Who is behind it and what the purpose is. If you don’t find out and let them hide behind it, there will be dangers at any time. But does these poisons have anything to do with the old man?
Although the eldest lady and the old man were not as harmonious as the zither, they were also respectful to each other. However, since Mrs. Mei entered the mansion, all harmony has been broken.
This woman not only has fair skin and beautiful appearance, but also has a graceful figure. Especially the plum blossom mole between her eyebrows, it is even more eye-catching. Not to mention men, even women cannot resist it.
My husband went to her room less and less often, and he always picked her faults everywhere, and looked at her in every way, but he was extremely fond of Mrs. Mei, obeyed her will, and said that she was very knowledgeable and asked herself to learn more from her.
The eldest lady was naturally sad and dissatisfied, but she couldn't show anything on the surface. On the one hand, after the woman came, her husband's official career was smooth and she was promoted twice in a row. She was the time to rely on her, and she showed that she was afraid that her husband would not like her, and on the other hand, she was afraid that others would say that she had no tolerance for the popularity.
The wife of the house should have been happy when her husband was promoted, but the eldest wife became more and more uneasy. It was because her husband became more and more biased. What she didn't expect was that she killed people in order to avoid revealing that she was not the elegant husband she knew back then.
Seeing that he was angry and looked ferocious and knocked the bench, she became more and more unfamiliar. Just when she was feeling why it turned out like this, Madam Mei was still urging her around, which made her suddenly feel chill.
Perhaps official positions and titles are not that important, but the safety of the family is the most important.
The eldest lady couldn't help but persuade: "Actually, it's nothing. Even if we don't have a title and the protection of the Marquis' Mansion, we can still live a stable life. Besides, our son will end this year. If we can achieve fame, isn't this better than anything else?"
Mrs. Mei said: "That's right, but the premise is that the Marquis' Mansion can be safe and sound."
The eldest lady couldn't help but refute, "What's wrong with the Marquis' Mansion? Isn't it good? Although the court was afraid of us, the military power was handed over, the Marquis retired, and the third brother had no power to command. There was no threat from the Marquis' Mansion. As long as we younger generations were not out of particularity, there would be no problem to continue to be rich."
"What do you know, a woman?" The old man glanced at him with disdain, "How much do you know about the situation outside? The court can let go, what about others? The political enemies in the past will let us go? They will only trample us so that we will never have a place to turn over again. If you think like this and do nothing, the whole family will only wait for death. No useful suggestions will only cause trouble, go out, go out."
"But..." The eldest lady wanted to say something, but the old lady had already pushed her out of the door and closed the door with a slam.
The eldest lady's heart also shattered completely, and tears fell down her cheeks.
After the eldest lady left, Madam Mei walked over to massage his shoulders, "Actually, you don't have to do this, my sister is also considering this family."
"Mrs. Houzhai, you are short-sighted and can't help at all except causing trouble. Forget it, I won't talk about her anymore." The old man turned his head and looked at Mrs. Mei, "I haven't asked you yet, what's going on with Butler Lai? At first I didn't agree to get rid of him. You insisted that you can't keep the troubles, but in the end, the person was not killed, but he still asked him to go back and testify against me."
Speaking of this, the old man felt angry and had nowhere to be angry.
Mrs. Mei paused for a moment and frowned, "I was also surprised by this matter. I was going to commit suicide by jumping into the river. In this way, no one could find any evidence. I only thought it was suicide for fear of guilt. I asked, after we threw him down the river, we waited for a long time before leaving. It was impossible for a person to live in the water for such a long time."
"I don't know how good people live."
“There is only one possibility.”
The old man turned his head.
Mrs. Mei sat down opposite him, "That's Mr. Yu's people are staring at Butler Lai."
"He has that scheming?"
Mrs. May poured him a glass of water, "From the recent series of things, he should have it."
"Oh." The old man put the cup heavily on the table and said dejectedly, "It's fine now. Even if I didn't doubt it before, I'm starting to doubt it now."
"It's nothing wrong with doubting or doubting. Even if he knows, there's no evidence. The old lady will only think that you did this for the sake of a title and wouldn't make things difficult for you. She originally believed that you were qualified to inherit the title."
The old man still feels scared when he thinks he is still there, "At first when I saw Butler Lai, I was completely confused and thought I was going to be completely exposed. You said that this kid has only been away for a year, so why has he become so difficult? It is much scarier than his father."
"The third master is a military general. He doesn't like these intrigues and has a relatively rough personality. On the contrary, Young Master Yu is much more scheming after he comes back. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with in the future and will cause us a lot of trouble." Mrs. Mei sighed.
The old man was filled with sorrow, "I can't kill you, but I can't kill you, but I can't drive you away. This is really a heart-wrenching illness. What do you say about the people over you?"
Mrs. Mei said, "There is no way to kill people now. Now there is something important to do, so he can only let go of his business first."
The old man couldn't help but open his eyes wide, "What else is more important than that little beast? Isn't the murder of me miserable enough now? Thanks to my absence in the mansion, if I were there, I might not be able to come out of my mother's yard today. Once exposed, not only my father can't spare me, do you think the Shangshu family can spare me?"
A hint of impatientness flashed in Mrs. Mei's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, "I said everything, he can't find evidence, so we don't need to worry."
"But..." The old man was still uneasy.
Mrs. Mei snuggled up coquettishly, "With the one above, what are you worried about? Those who do big things, don't care about the details and have a long-term vision. It's impossible to follow your master. When this spring exam is over, your status will rise."
When I heard about the spring exam, the old man's heart was about to move again.
Yes, he is now one of the deputy examiners, so what if the third brother is the commander of Yulin, he is just a reckless man, and he, the person who participated in the spring exam, should not swear to him.
It's not that much. Many people have come to visit him. The feeling is really elated. The feeling is only when my father holds military power. Since his father retired, those people are afraid of avoiding it. Who will come back? So he secretly made up his mind to shine the family and let the family return to their past glory.
Before she could pleasing for a long time, she saw Mrs. Mei take out a piece of paper and put it in front of him. The old man was stunned, "What is this?"
Mrs. Mei smiled with a pursed lips, "It's not the first day you've been in the officialdom. You shouldn't even know this."
After staring at her for a while, the old man instantly realized that there was no such thing as eating for nothing in the world. The list on this piece of paper was all the people her master wanted. He knew the twists and turns in it. There was no problem with one or two, but so many...
Mrs. May said, "Once these people enter, they are yours and will be treated very well."
"But this is too obvious. Once it is found out, it will lose your head."
Mrs. Mei snorted, "If you don't put these people in, then others will put their own people in."
The other person naturally refers to the fourth prince, and the old man is still in a dilemma. "This is not as good as the other person. Once it is exposed, it will be a matter of extermination of the whole family."
Mrs. Mei persuaded, "Is there any risk to do big things? The greater the risk, the more you gain. The master said that once this matter is done, he will find a way to add you to the official position, and at the same time, he will also find a way to give you the title."
The old man was moved again, "But my father..."
Mrs. Mei said, "The old marquis has his own ideas, but if the emperor speaks, can he refuse? Even if the emperor disagrees, he will help you after the master ascends the throne."
The old man thought for a while and agreed. In fact, there was nothing he could do if he didn't agree. After he got on the boat, he could no longer help.
Seeing that he agreed, Mrs. Mei hurriedly kissed him in the face and pulled him to the inner room.
Just as the two people in the house were lying on the couch, the eldest lady stood up from under the window, her face paler than paper, and her legs were so weak that she could not exert any force.
