A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Su Yuanqing didn't know why her sister looked a little excited, so she nodded and said, "Yes, they are still a couple. One vomited, and the other also held her stomach."

"As for whether I have come to drink the medicine, I don't remember."

Su Xiangling took a deep breath and thought of a possibility, but she couldn't be sure.

But she couldn't be careless about this kind of thing, so she called the Su family servant at the door in, whispered a few instructions to him, and the servant turned and ran away.

While waiting for the servant to come back, Su Xiangling looked around the storeroom and realized that 30% of the herbs were good and 70% were moldy.

These good medicinal materials were also used to conceal the truth and would not be used for the disaster victims. After the disaster relief is over, they will be taken back.

Soon, the servant who went out to investigate came back.

"Second Miss, Second Young Master, I went to check on the victims. Many of them were vomiting and having diarrhea, and a few had already fainted."

"I have seen these people before. They have been coming to our house to drink cold-weather medicines in recent days."

Su Xiangling's face suddenly changed. This was clearly a symptom of poisoning.

If so many people were poisoned because of moldy medicinal herbs, the Su family would be finished.

These matters are led by my mother and also involve my grandparents' family. When the time comes, the second branch of the Su family will be the first to bear the brunt.

She forced herself to calm herself down. She couldn't have a guilty family.

What happened today must be covered up, and the Su family must not be allowed to have anything to do with this matter.

With so many people poisoned, it won’t take long for the matter to reach the crown prince.

At that time, whether it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or Shen Zhixiu, who is in charge of disaster relief, they will conduct a thorough investigation. As long as they see the moldy medicinal materials of the Su family, it will be difficult for the Su family to escape.

Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to get rid of these moldy herbs. In addition, find a suitable person to take the blame for this matter.

Su Xiangling's mind worked quickly, and she had figured out what to do next in a short time.

She ordered Su Yuanqing in a deep voice, "Can you arrange for someone to quietly transport these moldy herbs away?"

Although Su Yuanqing didn't know what she was going to do, he didn't dare to ask more because of her gloomy face.

“Yes, this is not difficult.”

The relief wagons of several families went in and out without anyone asking questions, so it was easy for them to load and drive out.

Su Xiangling nodded and said, "Find a smart servant to get some croton powder. Go quietly to Su Shunci's place and add the croton powder to their noodles."

The victims were vomiting and having diarrhea, so they would definitely be investigated thoroughly. When the doctors found croton powder in the steamed buns made by Su Shunci and Su Qingyu, their guilt would be confirmed.

She was afraid that Su Yuanqing might not do things properly, so she gave him instructions for a long time.

Su Yuanqing also realized that this matter was of great importance. So he looked much more serious, and patted his chest to assure Su Xiangling that he would definitely get it done.

Afterwards, Su Xiangling returned to the prince as if nothing had happened.

It was almost noon, and Su Shunci and Su Qingyu were taking a few of their men to the kitchen to knead steamed buns.

Before they reached the kitchen door, they heard a bang coming from inside.

Feicui reacted quickly. She took a few quick steps into the kitchen and then took someone out.

Everyone recognized that the person being carried by Feicui was Desheng, the servant beside Su Yuanqing.

Desheng still had a few remaining steamed buns in his arms, begging for mercy, "Eldest Miss, spare me, Fourth Miss, spare me. I'm just hungry, so I sneaked here to find something to eat."

Su Qingyu looked at Desheng inquiringly, then asked Zhenzhu to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything wrong.

Pearl took a look around and didn't see anything wrong.

Su Qingyu waved her hand, signaling Feicui to let the man go. You can't just keep nagging for a few steamed buns, especially since he's a servant of the Su family.

Desheng felt as if he had been pardoned and ran away holding the steamed bun.

After they entered the kitchen, Su Qingyu said, "Look carefully to see if there is anything wrong. Desheng is definitely not here to steal the steamed buns."

Su Shunci was stunned, "Why do you say that, big sister?"

Su Qingyu looked around and said, "Our second young master is not someone who would suffer injustice. He has been providing disaster relief these days, and he has been eating chicken, duck, fish and meat every day. He has also been given delicious meals from Ruyi Tower several times."

"Our second aunt is really willing to give up this legitimate son."

Su Shunci was puzzled, "What does that have to do with Desheng stealing the steamed buns?"

The people down there are hungry, so it's only natural for them to come and ask for two steamed buns, right?

Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "Desheng is Su Yuanqing's servant, and he is very much liked by Su Yuanqing. The leftover food from the banquets delivered these days has been divided among these servants."

"If you are used to eating these, how can you still think of looking for steamed buns when you are hungry? Have you ever seen a dog that is used to eating meat and still eat bran and vegetables?"

She saw with her own eyes that Su Yuanqing bought a lot of meat buns this morning, and each of the servants got several.

If a disaster victim came in today and wanted to steal a steamed bun, she could still understand it, but Desheng obviously didn't want to.

So what he is here to do is intriguing.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly understood and looked around more carefully.

After a long while, Feicui suddenly called out, "Madam, please take a look here."

Su Qingyu and a few others gathered around, and in front of Feicui was a bowl of fermented dough.

She pointed to the inside of the basin, at the edge of the basin wall, and said, "Madam, please look, there is a little brown powder here."

Su Qingyu looked carefully and it was not too obvious.

"Isn't this the cornmeal that got mixed in when we were kneading the dough?"

Feicui shook her head and said, "No, after we knead the dough, the basin is smooth and there won't be any flour left."

Su Qingyu hesitated for a moment and said, "These noodles can't be used anymore. We have to prepare them again."

Zhenzhu hesitated, "Madam, if we make it again, the dough won't have enough time to rise. We won't be able to make the steamed buns for lunch."

"How about we make noodle soup instead?"

Su Qingyu shook her head, "Noodle soup is not good. I'm not hungry without steamed buns. Besides, noodle soup with porridge is not suitable."

Su Shunci thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll just go out and buy some ready-made steamed buns and spend a little more money."

Nanny Feng, who was brought by Su Shunci, said, "No need. I have a way to make the dough rise faster. Knead the dough again and place the basin over warm water."

"We do this in the countryside. It's quick."

Su Qingyu was still thinking about Desheng's matter. Hearing this, she said, "Do as Madam Feng said. Don't tell anyone. Don't use the flour in this room. Bring some new flour."

After thinking for a while, he instructed Feicui, "Go and keep an eye on Su Yuanqing to see if there's anything wrong?"

Jade said yes, turned around and went out.

The steamed buns for lunch were ready at the appointed time, and the few people did not show any clues. As usual, they distributed steamed buns to the victims.

Before lunch, Shen Zhixiu got the news and rushed back. He accompanied the prince on his inspection tour and had lunch together.

Not long after lunch, reports of victims suffering from poisoning, vomiting and diarrhea finally came in one after another.
