Mr. Zhou stood up and called Shen Zhixiu to the window on one side.

"Third Master, this is the first time in my life that I have seen the eldest lady's poison. The method of the person who poisoned me is somewhat strange and unusual..."

Mr. Zhou twirled his beard and talked while thinking about the poison.

After speaking, he suddenly stopped, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Then he asked probingly: "Third Master, I would like to ask one more question. The medicine Wenzhu took from me today... was used by the eldest lady?"

Mr. Zhou always sticks to the point even when dealing with powerful people. He helped me when I needed to, and I didn't ask any questions that I shouldn't have.

I asked this question at this time because I thought of a possibility and had to ask.

Shen Zhixiu didn't hide anything, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Sir, your guess is right. Chen Pinghui harmed my father, and I can't just let it go. My mother was concerned about the younger members of the family, so I asked Mr. Zhou to prepare the medicine for her. Gone within three years.”

"What do you mean, sir?"

Mr. Zhou paused while twirling his beard.

"I just said, why do some of the medicinal materials in it look like I prepared them today? If you follow what the third master said, then I can guess what happened."

"Someone must have thought the same thing as Third Master and also poisoned it. The two poisons collided, which is why it looked like this."

"This kind of medicine is meant to accelerate the loss of vitality in the body, making people weaker little by little until they run out of energy. But when the two medicines are mixed, the effect is more than just doubled."

Shen Zhixiu looked stunned. Someone else poisoned him?

Could it be the second brother?

He had a calm expression on his face and nodded, "I understand. Now, Mr. Zhou, how long does she have left?"

Mr. Zhou thought for a while, "If I try my best to treat her, I can save her for a year and relieve her pain. If I leave her alone, it may only last half a year. She will still be in pain every day, and in the end, life will be worse than death."

"Third Master, look, do I still need to prescribe medicine?"

Shen Zhixiu glanced at Chen, "No need to prescribe medicine, that's it."

Naturally, Mr. Zhou didn't say much and turned around and went outside.

Shen Zhixiu walked to the bed again and whispered to Su Qingyu: "I'll go give the steward a few words and we'll go back in a minute."

Su Qingyu didn't take her eyes off Chen, "Third Master, go ahead. I'll have a few words of respect with my sister-in-law."

After Shen Zhixiu went out, Su Qingyu pulled a chair and sat beside Chen's bed.

"Sister-in-law, if I let my eldest brother see what you look like now, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares."

Chen's chest was heaving, his brows were furrowed in pain, and the hair on his forehead was wet with cold sweat.

Chen didn't know what she looked like now, but when she lowered her head, she could see the white ends of her hair and the obvious wrinkles on her hands.

She looked at Su Qingyu in horror, "Is it you? What did you do to me?"

"You're a vicious woman. You haven't had a good heart since the day you married into the Shen family, haven't you?"

Although Chen's voice was hoarse, she spoke fluently because of her anxiety. After saying this, he lay on the bed and breathed hard for a long time.

Su Qingyu was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hear what she was saying while she was panting, so she waited until her breathing calmed before speaking.

"Sister-in-law is really right. From the day I married into the Shen family, I have been rushing to kill you."

"Not only you, but also your son and your daughter, I don't plan to let them go."

Shen Ying is dead, Chen is about to die, and Shen Zhao is next.

Su Qingyu couldn't help but think of the oath Cheng Rujin made before his death. With such great resentment, he should be able to fulfill his oath, right? If she really agreed to her oath, she would definitely burn some paper money for Cheng Rujin and tell her.

Mrs. Chen wished she could raise her hand to slap Su Qingyu, but let alone hitting someone, she couldn't even raise her hand to touch her face.

He could only ask hoarsely, "What are you going to do? Just because Shen Zhao and your cousin are getting along in private, you hate us so much?"

"Su Qingyu, are you still in love with my son? Are you still thinking about him in your heart?"

"You are born out of love and hate, I want to tell Zhixiu, you are born out of love and hate!"

Chen felt that she had to say this with all her strength, hoping that Shen Zhixiu outside the door could hear her.

But in fact, Su Qingyu had to listen carefully to hear her voice clearly, let alone the people outside.

Su Qingyu sneered, "Hate because of love? You think too highly of your son."

"I feel sick just looking at him. The word love is really irrelevant."

In Chen's heart, her son is naturally the best, and she cannot tolerate anyone slandering Shen Zhao.

"You are not worthy of my son at all. You are jealous. You are jealous of my son's young talent, but you can only marry an old man."

Su Qingyu seemed to have heard a big joke, "Sister-in-law, you have nothing to belittle the third master, can you only talk about your age?"

"Sister-in-law, don't think how good and talented your son is. In fact, in my opinion, he is just a idiot."

"I can't read as well as Shen Hong, and I have a lot of arrogance. Even though I rely on his third uncle's reputation, I always feel that I can surpass his third uncle. Not to mention the mundane things at home, I look down on these things, let alone take them up. .”

"If the Shen family relies on him to support their family one day, I'm afraid the whole family will starve to death."

If the person in the Shen family knows Shen Zhao best, it must be Su Qingyu.

These words are based on my understanding of him in the past and present life, and are an objective evaluation without any emotion.

But to Chen's ears, it was Su Qingyu's malicious slander.

"You are talking nonsense. My son will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister in the future, which is extremely valuable."

As Chen said, he suddenly frowned and huddled together.

"It hurts...help me, it hurts..."

The next moment, a mouthful of black blood spurted out.

The blood stains splashed on Su Qingyuyue's white dress, and a flower pattern appeared.

Feicui hurriedly pulled Su Qingyu back, and then called someone to come in and help Chen clean up.

Two women came in hurriedly, wiped the blood on Chen's face and neck, and wiped the stains on the floor.

Chen rolled around on the bed in pain, seemingly forgetting that there was someone else in the room.

At this moment, Wenzhu knocked on the door and said, "Third Madam, it's time to go back."

Su Qingyu turned around and left the room. Before leaving, she took a deep look at Mrs. Chen, her eyes clear.

On the carriage back, Su Qingyu asked, "What did Mr. Zhou say?"

Shen Zhixiu only said that it was poisoning, but it was not clear what happened. After thinking for a while, he said, "After I got back, I said that my sister-in-law suddenly suffered from liver qi stagnation, which is why she vomited blood. As for her hair, I said that she was suffering from anxiety."

He had already instructed the people in the farm that no one else was allowed to see Chen.

He never believed that chanting sutras could atone for sins. People should pay the price if they make mistakes.

When Chen did those things, he should have thought of the results like today.

Su Qingyu didn't ask any more questions, and then thought of the money that Chen was greedy for.

"Third Master, part of the money that my sister-in-law was greedy for was used by the big house, and part of it was sent back to the Chen family in Wuling. Have you discussed with your mother what to do with the money?"
