The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world
Chapter 256: Peeling off the cocoon
Jiang Quhan raised his eyes to look at Ning Ziqing and said in a serious tone: "I'm afraid this Jifeng Cake has been tampered with!"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was shocked.
Old Mrs. Lin said in a trembling voice: "How could this happen? We have nothing to do with that Zengji pastry shop. Why would they harm my daughter-in-law!"
Father Lin also found it hard to believe: "Your Highness King Qian, this matter has been going on for a long time. If you want to find out again, it may not be easy."
The corners of Jiang Quhan's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Lin, it's just my guess right now."
He turned to look at Lin Wanqiao: "Brother and sister, go and write me the recipe for the Jifeng cake."
Lin Wanqiao nodded in agreement and walked to the desk to write.
Jiang Quhan called Ning Zijun aside again and asked him in a low voice.
"Zijun, how did your mother die back then?"
Ning Zijun was stunned for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed, and he asked in shock: "Did my mother-in-law also die of poisoning from eating Jifeng cake?"
Jiang Quhan looked solemn: "I heard Ning Manman mention that your second brother died at a young age. Your mother died when she was one year old. I always feel that there seems to be a hidden reason for their death. Please tell me quickly. Let me tell you about the situation back then.”
A trace of grief flashed in Ning Zijun's eyes, and his voice choked with sobs: "My second brother, who was less than half a year old, died of a minor illness. After that, my mother-in-law fell into deep grief and her physical condition became increasingly weak. It wasn't until she became pregnant with Qingqing that the situation improved slightly."
"But when she gave birth to Qingqing, she almost had difficulty in giving birth due to the large size of the fetus, resulting in excessive blood loss. During the confinement period, Qingqing was particularly noisy and difficult to take care of. My mother-in-law was worried all day long, fearing that Qingqing would be as difficult to raise as her second brother. Therefore, she personally Take care of everything about Qingqing and never leave things to others."
"Overwork caused her old illnesses to develop and new ones to appear. In less than a year, her condition deteriorated rapidly and she eventually died."
At the end of the story, Ning Zijun's eyes turned red, and he felt extremely uncomfortable thinking of his deceased mother and young brother.
Jiang Quhan patted his shoulder to calm him down.
Ning Zijun quickly calmed down and said with hatred: "If it is really because of that "Ji Feng Cake" that my mother-in-law and my mother-in-law were poisoned, then the culprit is so evil-hearted, I will definitely find him out and cut him into pieces with a thousand knives. Thousands of corpses!"
Jiang Quhan warned him: "This matter should not be made public. Go and find out the details of 'Zeng Ji Pastry Shop' in private. Especially those who had contact with your mother back then, including the maids and wives, will be interrogated one by one." "
His eyes turned to Ning Ziqing: "Don't tell your sister for now, wait until we have the exact result."
Ning Zijun nodded in agreement: "I understand."
At this time, Lin Wanqiao picked up the written recipe for Jifeng cake and handed it to Jiang Quhan.
Jiang Quhan looked at it carefully several times and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, this Jifeng cake recipe contains an herb called 'Jinku needle'."
Lin Wanqiao was astonished: "I got this recipe after a lot of trouble and at a high price from a waiter who worked at Zeng Kee Pastry Shop back then. Although he didn't know how to make this pastry, he took a peek at it in private. According to him, this secret recipe does not contain the herbal medicine His Highness mentioned!"
Jiang Quhan pointed to an ingredient name on the formula and explained: "Weiyuebu" is a natural sugary plant. The pastry made with Jixincao has a green and delicate appearance, a refreshing taste, sweet but not greasy. All ages. However, this plant looks very similar to another herb called 'Golden Cave Needle'. "
"If you don't distinguish it carefully, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish it. If you use it to pretend to be Weiyuebu and add it to Jifeng cake, the sweetness will be more intense. People who like sweets will definitely like it very much."
Yu suddenly realized: "Pregnant women often feel bitter in their mouths during pregnancy, so they especially prefer sweets. This poisoning method is really thoughtful and hard to guard against!"
Jiang Quhan continued: "The toxicity of Jinkuo needle is actually not strong, but its sweetener can indeed make people gradually addictive. If pregnant women eat too much, they will become dependent on sweets."
"In addition, Jinku needle also has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. If a pregnant woman accidentally eats too much, it may lead to miscarriage. If the child is born by chance, due to the damage to the mother's body, the child will have some residue of Jinku needle in the body. Toxins will cause night terrors and crying, making it impossible to sleep peacefully.”
Hearing this, the Lin family members were shocked and their expressions changed suddenly.
Ning Zijun was even more shocked, and his body trembled involuntarily.
Because what Jiang Quhan said was completely consistent with the symptoms of his mother-in-law and Ning Ziqing back then!
Ning Ziqing said angrily: "This "Zeng Kee Pastry" turns out to be a shady shop, let's go and arrest them!"
Lin Wanqiao shook her head helplessly: "This store closed more than ten years ago. It is said that Zeng Ji's boss was old and was homesick, so he quickly sold out the store and took the whole family back to his hometown. .”
Ning Ziqing was emotional: "They must be afraid of being discovered, so they fled in fear of crime! I will send people to search for them now. Even if Nan Yao Kingdom is turned upside down, we must find them!"
Ning Zijun quickly stopped her: "Qingqing, you don't have to worry about these things. I will arrange for someone to deal with them. You have a special status now, so don't get involved in this. Just stay with your sister-in-law and let her get married with peace of mind."
Ning Ziqing understood. She pushed Lin Wanqiao gently, letting her get closer to Ning Zijun, and said with a playful smile: "Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of my sister-in-law, and I will definitely satisfy you."
Lin Wanqiao lowered her eyes shyly, her cheeks slightly red.
Ning Zijun stared at Lin Wanqiao's side face intently, with the corners of his mouth raised and tenderness in his eyebrows.
Jiang Quhan's goosebumps fell all over the floor. He interrupted them sourly: "Brothers and sisters, I've been busy for a long time and I'm hungry. Please prepare something for me."
Lin Wanqiao came to her senses and immediately ordered her servants to pass on the food.
Jiang Quhan told Lin Xitang again: "You must find some golden cave needles today, boil them into water and feed them to Mrs. Lin to drink three times. I will come over to perform acupuncture on her tomorrow!"
Lin Xitang looked shocked: "Prince Qian... Your Highness, isn't that golden cave needle poisonous?"
Jiang Quhan glanced at him and said arrogantly: "What do you know! This king is using poison to fight poison. He must first stimulate all the remaining poison in Mrs. Lin's body, then completely remove it, and then recuperate for a period of time to ensure that she can recover. You're so alive and kicking, and you're sending my younger siblings off to get married in person!"
Lin Xitang was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, King Qian. Our Lin family is deeply grateful for your great kindness!"
The Lin family cried with joy and paid tribute to Jiang Quhan again.
Jiang Quhan casually spread out his folding fan and walked out: "We have already said that we are a family, so there is no need to be so polite. Come and reward me with some good wine!"
When he walked to the door, he did not forget to warn his servants: "If anyone dares to leak what happened today, you will be careful about your life!"
The servants were so frightened that they all trembled and promised not to talk nonsense.
Jiang Quhan walked to the garden with satisfaction.
The Lin family looked at his back and looked at each other in silence. For a while, they still couldn't adapt to his unpredictable behavior.
Ning Ziqing hurriedly comforted them: "My brother Wang is a bit weird, you just need to get used to it."
