Chapter 59 Milk Tea (44)

"Master Xiang, is there someone talking badly about my concubine's body? Master Xiang, you can't believe those things. The eldest lady has never liked concubines, you know that." He Xiaoniang looked at Master Xiang pitifully, and felt that Thinking that it must be something that jealous woman said in front of the prime minister.

Xiangye stared at He Xiaoniang's white and tender face, thinking about the things that the eldest lady cried, he felt chills all over for no reason, this is also his pillow person, but he didn't understand so much.

He Xiaoniang was numb from Xiangye's eyes. What did Xiangye find out?
He Xiaoniang was in a mess, and just as she was about to take the next step, Xiangye withdrew that scary look, and said as usual, "Forget it, gossip is not to be trusted, I'm hungry, let's eat."

Following the Prime Minister's words, He Xiaoniang's heart fell from her throat back into her chest, above her diaphragm, "Yes, I will make arrangements right now."

At the dinner table, He Xiaoniang was very attentive.

Master Xiang ate his meal in silence, and said for a long time, "Madam is not in good health recently. I brought the doctor to me. The doctor said that she is very weak, and I'm afraid she won't have children in the future."

When the Prime Minister said this, it seemed casual, but in fact he had been observing He Xiaoniang's reaction.

He Xiaoniang was taken aback for a moment, then the corners of her mouth rose slightly, but she quickly suppressed it, "Why is this, the lady has always been strong, this...could it be..." He Xiaoniang hesitated to speak.

"What do you know?" Master Xiang's tone was so flat that no one could hear his emotions.

"My concubine heard that the heirs of the Marquis Mansion were in trouble, and that they were cursed by the ancestors..." He Xiaoniang not only hated the eldest lady, but also hated the eldest lady's natal family. When she had this opportunity, she quickly spread rumors.

After hearing this, Master Xiang put down his chopsticks, took a sip of soup and said, "I don't know if the magic doctor you hired can cure this disease?"

"Of course it's possible. This miraculous doctor was obtained by my concubine after a lot of hard work. He can cure everything." He Xiaoniang's face was full of sincerity.

The Prime Minister put down the soup bowl in his hand, "Just in time, by the way, let this miracle doctor check if there is anything wrong with the tonics that the lady takes on weekdays?"

He Xiaoniang was obviously taken aback when she heard the word tonic, but she quickly followed up with Xiangye's words and said, "It's okay, that genius doctor knows everything."

After dinner, Master Xiang found an excuse to say that something happened to his colleagues and he didn't stay in the lotus courtyard.

The servants watched the Prime Minister go out. No one knew that in the middle of the night, the Prime Minister secretly climbed over the wall and came back. He took his attendants and went straight to the residence of the miracle doctor.

The genius doctor who was sleeping soundly was startled by the sudden intrusion of the Xiangye, sat up suddenly from the bed, and looked at the Xiangye absent-mindedly.

Under the moonlight, Master Xiang's fair face showed a look of chilling.

"Where did the miracle doctor come from?"

"I... I come from Jinghuang Mountain." This is the location He Xiaoniang made up for him in advance.

"What is the purpose of coming to my mansion?" After Xiangye asked this, he gave the attendant a look, and the attendant came to the bedside of the miracle doctor, drew out a dagger, and put it on the neck of the miracle doctor, "I hope the miracle doctor will answer Xiangye's words well." Otherwise, this sword has no eyes."

After the attendant's words fell, the genius doctor seemed to smell a bloody smell. He was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he said tremblingly, "I'm here... I'm here to treat the eldest lady... the eldest lady."

After hearing this, Master Xiang frowned and said, "The person I hate the most in my life is a liar."

As Master Xiang finished speaking, the attendant's sharp dagger took a step forward, and the genius doctor could clearly feel the stabbing pain in his neck.

At this moment, he panicked. Whatever he likes or admires, it's all bullshit. Only his own life is the most important. "I'll recruit, I'll recruit them all. I'm here under the orders of He Xiaoniang!"

"What did you instruct you to do?" Xiangye's voice was cold.

The miracle doctor said tremblingly, "She ordered me to use the elixir to kill the eldest lady. They are all... here. This is a poisonous elixir. She...she asked me to say that it is a elixir for seeking a child."

Xiangye's face became more and more ugly following the words of the genius doctor, "What else?"

"Also... Also, I'm not a miracle doctor at all..." The miracle doctor trembled and said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.

After he finished speaking, Master Xiang walked slowly in front of him, "Just pretend that what I came to look for you today didn't happen. If you want to survive, you can do everything I tell you. Tomorrow..."

The next day, as soon as Ruyi woke up, she was dragged to the courtyard of the eldest lady by Xiangye's people, and He Xiaoniang was also dragged to the courtyard.

The prime minister was sitting in the middle, and the eldest lady was sitting next to him. When she saw Ruyi coming, the eldest lady winked at Ruyi when no one was paying attention, telling her not to be afraid.

Ruyi understood, she knelt on the ground quietly, with her head down, so that people could not see her expression clearly.

Unlike Ruyi Jingjing, He Xiaoniang was crying with snot and tears, "What's the matter, why did you drag me over early in the morning, Mr. Xiang, look, my hands are torn by them... "

After hearing He Xiaoniang's cry, Master Xiang didn't coax her as he did in the past, but said coldly, "This morning, the genius doctor treated the eldest lady and found that there is something wrong with the tonic that the eldest lady has been drinking. I heard that , is this tonic sent by the two of you?"

He Xiaoniang felt a "thump" in her heart, she glanced at the dull Ruyi, and sobbed, "I beg you to find out, I was wronged, what tonic? I don't know."

"Miss Wen, is what Xiaoniang He said right?" Master Xiang looked at Ruyi seriously.

Ruyi raised her head slowly, with tears running across her face, she said, "What she said is wrong, she gave me the tonic, she said it is the best for health, He Xiaoniang, how can you not admit it?"

"Don't pour dirty water on me. Do you think I'm easy to bully? You said I gave you the tonic, so I want to ask, do you have someone to prove it?" When she gave the tonic to Ruyi, she left One-handed, avoiding everyone, it is impossible to have witnesses.

Ruyi panicked, she hesitated for a long time, but did not reveal half of her identity.

Master Xiang immediately ordered Ruyi to be arrested, sent to the woodshed, and twenty boards were laid, saying that he would be sent to the government in a few days, and he would go to Wen's house to ask for an explanation.

The person was found, and He Xiaoniang was naturally cleared of the suspicion, and she returned to her lotus courtyard with lingering fear.

On the way back, she kept scolding the genius doctor, how could he say there was something wrong with the tonic, she had to find an opportunity to ask him these two days, she had to grasp the development of the matter, but it was a pity that she sacrificed a pawn.

late at night.

In the cold woodshed, Ruyi was struggling to eat the chicken legs, while the eldest lady handed her her favorite sweet-scented osmanthus tea from time to time.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer." The eldest lady looked at Ruyi guiltily. The woodshed was dirty and cold, and she wished she could sneak Ruyi back to her bedroom.
