Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

"Madam Li, I heard that the old lady was ill. Where have all the servants in this room gone?" Xu started questioning Madam Li as soon as she entered the room.

She has always been on guard against this old guy, and she had specially placed a little girl in this courtyard to monitor every move in the courtyard.

The maid who had not been heard from for a long time suddenly came to report today that Nanny Li suddenly dismissed the servants in the yard today, as if the old lady was not feeling well.

"Madam, the old lady suddenly felt a little unwell. She said that she could always hear some noises in the yard and couldn't rest well. So I sent everyone in the yard out to let the old lady rest."

Nanny Li's calm answer made it impossible to find any fault with it.

"How is the old lady?" Xu said with concern on her face, walking to the bedside and glancing at the old lady.

Seeing the old lady's eyes closed and lifeless, Xu felt a little proud.

Xu pretended to be surprised and worried and quickly said to the doctor: "Why does the old lady look so bad? Doctor, come and take a look."

During this time, the doctor and Mrs. Xu looked at each other, and then started to take the old lady's pulse.

This person was none other than Doctor Xu, a distant relative of the Xu family. Because of his relationship with the Xu family, he naturally took charge of all the major and minor illnesses of everyone in the mansion.

Doctor Xu was about the same age as Mrs. Xu. He was handsome and wore a green robe, which made him look more elegant.

As he spent more time taking the old lady's pulse, a look of surprise flashed across Doctor Xu's handsome face.

"The old lady is in poor health and needs good care," Doctor Xu said respectfully after taking her pulse.

Mrs. Xu, who was sitting there without paying any attention, suddenly looked up at Doctor Xu.

Doctor Xu shook his head imperceptibly at Mrs. Xu.

"In that case, go and prescribe some medicine for the old lady and take good care of her."

After saying this, he asked the maid beside him to follow Doctor Xu to get the medicine.

"Madam Li, the old lady is so seriously ill today. As her daughter-in-law, I am also worried. I will stay here to take care of her today."

Xu didn’t know what had happened, but the old man looked like he would only have a few more days of good life.

If I take care of him here, I will have a good reputation as a filial son in the future.

Xu's words made Li Ma a little anxious. The young master was still here. If Xu stayed, how would the two of them leave?

"Madam, we servants are here, so there is no need for you to serve us personally."

"Madam Li, you don't need to persuade me. I have made up my mind. I won't be able to sleep well even if I go back," said Xu, and she actually shed a few hypocritical tears.

Although Jiang Nan, who was hiding behind the screen, couldn't see, when he saw Xu's filial piety, he thought that if she were born in the modern era, she would definitely win the Oscar.

As a servant, Nanny Li was helpless when she saw that Xu was determined to stay here.

I just hope she doesn't discover the young master and Miss Jiang Nan.

The old lady is weak and now she has fallen into a coma again.

Xu asked Nanny Li to fetch some water and pretended to wash the old lady's face and hands personally.

But there was disdain in his eyes.

"Madam, the old lady has fallen asleep. There is nothing to do. You go and have a rest. I will take care of this place," Madam Li found an opportunity to persuade Xu.

"I am really a little tired. If the old lady wakes up, please come and call me."

Xu raised her hand to cover her lips and yawned. After that, she took the two maids beside her to the side room to rest.

Nanny Li stood respectfully at the door and waited until Xu entered the side room, then she returned to her room and closed the door.

"Sir, come out, girl!"

After the two came out, Jiang Nan told Nanny Li not to feed the doctor's medicine to the old lady.

"Mammy, please take good care of grandma," Gu Yanzhou said seriously to Mammy Li with a solemn expression.

"I know what's going on," replied Nanny Li.

Xu's behavior today made Gu Yanzhou even more certain that Xu was involved in the poisoning.

Gu Yanzhou looked around the courtyard through the corner of the window.

It was already 9:00 p.m. and the servants had already gone to bed. The old lady's window was right next to the wall of the courtyard.

There is a small tree next to the window that can block most of the figure.

"We'll climb over the wall through the window in a bit."

Gu Yanzhou expressed his thoughts.

"Okay," Jiang Nan nodded in agreement.

As a military doctor under militarized management, climbing over the wall is no problem for him.

Gu Yanzhou observed and confirmed that there was no one in the yard, then opened the window and jumped out when the opportunity arose.

Before Gu Yanzhou could reach out to pick him up, Jiang Nan had already jumped out with his hands.

The two men bent down and carefully touched the wall on the other side of the old lady's bedroom.

Once you get here, you will basically not be discovered because of the shelter of the bedroom as long as you don't make too much noise.

"I'll be dragging you down there, you go up first, be careful." Gu Yanzhou looked at the top of the wall that was taller than Jiang Nan, and squatted down considerately to serve as a stepping stone for Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan did not refuse and tied her skirt into a knot to make it easier to move.

"Just squat down and don't move."

Jiang Nan took two steps back, put his foot on Gu Yanzhou's shoulder for support, climbed up the wall with both hands.

The old lady's place was remote, so Jiang Nan jumped down directly without fear of being seen.

The whole action is completed in no more than ten seconds.

Gu Yanzhou stood up, his eyes becoming deep through the wall. How could a woman have such a strong physique?

They look more like professionally trained soldiers in the army.

There are so many secrets in you that I don't know.

Gu Yanzhou looked deep and climbed over the courtyard wall easily.

The two of them left Pingyang Marquis' Mansion smoothly.

On the way back late at night, the climate in Shangjing in the north was terribly cold. The breath that Jiang Nan sprayed on his clothes condensed into frost in a short while.

When he came here, he was in a hurry so he didn't feel cold. But now, sitting on the horse, Jiang Nan felt his hands and feet were cold and he was almost frozen into a popsicle.

"It's cold," Gu Yanzhou reined in his horse and asked in a low voice after feeling Jiang Nan shivering.

"Yeah, a little bit," Jiang Nan hugged himself with his arms.

Seeing this, Gu Yanzhou took off his black fox fur cloak and wrapped Jiang Nan tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

He held the whole person in his arms, and the speed of riding the horse slowed down significantly.

Gu Yanzhou sent the person to the door.

"Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as I find anything."

"Okay, go in!" Gu Yanzhou nodded.

After returning home, Jiang Nan immediately took out the handkerchief from his arms and carefully examined the medicine residue.

It is impossible to distinguish them just by looking at the residue.

Jiang Nan could identify some common medicinal herbs by taste.

At the same time, there is a fishy and pungent smell.

Jiang Nan studied until midnight but still had no clue.

Chinese people have accumulated knowledge of herbal medicine for thousands of years. As a modern person, Jiang Nan certainly knows more than modern doctors.

But Poison Jiang Nan never involved this level.

Not in her area of ​​expertise.
