The reborn son cursed his mother, bah, she heard it all

Hu Xinglin, the doctor in the Imperial Hospital, was her wet nurse's son. After her wet nurse passed away, she had always taken good care of him.

When he wanted to study medicine, it was I who arranged the path for him.

Lian didn't believe that Hu Xinglin would stab her in the back.

If someone who knows everything about you is not trustworthy, then wouldn't the Duke's Mansion be like a sieve?

Jiang Ying didn't say anything in a hurry. He poured out a pill and put it directly into his mouth.

Lian was so shocked that she almost jumped up, "Jiang girl, you!"

Jiang Ying was unusually calm, "It's okay, I'll try the taste."

[Stupid mother, how hungry are you? You even took the medicine for the disease! ]

[Didn’t you just have breakfast? You ate two bowls! ]

"..." Jiang Ying ignored his son's screaming, gently crushed the pill and tasted it, and sure enough, he found something unusual in it.

She took a sip of tea, rinsed her mouth, and spit it back into the cup.

"Madam, do you know about orpiment?"

Lian was surprised for a moment, "Orpiment, isn't it called realgar?"

Jiang Ying explained, "We have all heard of realgar, which is often used as medicine to treat abdominal pain caused by worms, epilepsy and other diseases. Orpiment is often accompanied by realgar. In addition to the diseases that realgar can treat, it can also treat cold phlegm, cough and asthma, which is your current disease."

Lian was getting more and more confused as she listened. "Girl Jiang, what you mean is that I put realgar in my pills? If it's the right medicine for the condition, what's the problem?"

“The problem is that the person who used the medicine not only used orpiment, which was appropriate for the condition, but also put in realgar, which was inappropriate for the condition. Although the amounts were small, when the two were neutralized, the pharmacological toxicity would be amplified by more than ten times.

"Regardless of whether it is realgar or orpiment, it cannot be taken for a long time. Even if the toxicity is small, if it accumulates in the body over time and cannot be excreted, it is equivalent to arsenic."

Lian was so shocked by these words that she couldn't recover for a moment. Her eyes were dull, and she stared at Jiang Ying's clear eyes without blinking.

She did not suspect that Jiang Ying was lying to her, but she just couldn't believe that she had been deceived for so many years.

The medicine was carefully checked before use, and no problems were found. This shows that the person who handled it must have been an accomplice of the person who harmed her!

Jiang Ying was not surprised by Lian's reaction at all. He stood up gently and said, "If the old lady doesn't believe it, you can ask the guards to catch a few wild cats and feed them the medicine. The human body is much larger than a cat. The medicine that is not very toxic to humans will be much more effective when it is given to a cat."

It won't lead to death, but drowsiness or vomiting is inevitable.

After having his meal and seeing the doctor, Jiang Ying politely said goodbye.

Lian was in a state of confusion and wanted to keep her for a while longer. However, Jiang Ying said that the child had not been fed in the morning and Yinping had been in and out several times, probably because she had something important to report, so she gave up trying to keep her.

"Well, I'll invite you to have tea some other day." The old lady forced a smile. "I'm going to stay in the mountains this time, intending to stay for the full 49 days. Only 32 days have passed."

Tell Jiang Ying her itinerary tactfully.

Jiang Ying nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I hope this trip will not be in vain and that all my wishes will come true."

Lian shook her head and said, "Meeting you, Jiang girl, here is the most worthwhile thing for me on this trip."

In just a moment, the shock and uneasiness on Lian's face disappeared, leaving only endless indifference.

As soon as Jiang Ying left, Lian immediately called several maids and Nanny Tang into the house, "Go, arrange to catch a few wild cats. I want to see what kind of fate they want me to have!"

Several of the silver faces were startled.

Nanny Tang was also startled. She opened her mouth to ask more questions, but she saw that the medicine that Yinping had just brought back was thrown around on the table casually, tilted over, and some of it had even spilled.

Instantly, he realized the seriousness of the matter and spoke again with a trembling voice, "Yinshuang, go quickly and follow the old lady's instructions. Go quietly and don't make any noise."

Among the few Yins, Yinshuang is calm, Yinping is careful, Yinzhi is clever, and Yinrui... Yinrui doesn't have any special strengths, she just likes to eat and chatter, trying new things for the old lady and entertaining her.

The four maids looked at each other, not daring to say anything, and each went about their own business.

Only Yinping and Nanny Tang stayed in the room.

Lian changed her posture while sitting. She was not angry but smiled instead. "Tell me, what good news did you bring back after your trip?"

Yinping lowered her head and couldn't help but feel sorry for the old lady.

What kind of life are we living now? There is not a single peaceful day. Either the Duke is temporarily sent to the front line, or my brothers and sisters have accidents. Now even the old lady’s medicine seems to be fishy!

In everyone's eyes, the old lady was granted an imperial decree, had a high status, and lived a wealthy and leisurely life. However, little did they know that all this was just an appearance.

The entire Duke's Mansion was in turmoil and everyone was in a panic. If it weren't for the old lady holding on, who knows what would have happened!

But the wife of the Duke still didn't understand the old lady. She was full of resentment and her words and actions even made the old lady so angry that she came to the temple.

"Yes...it's the marriage of the eldest lady." Yinping felt bitter inside and spoke hesitantly.

Lian glanced at her and said, "Just be frank. It's not a big deal. Do I really want to die?

"If I died, it would probably be what she wanted.

"Shang'er is at the border. In order not to distract him, I had no choice but to row the boat. Otherwise, what would happen if I gave her the hot seat right?"

"Yes, the old lady is usually open-minded, and I am ashamed to be inferior to her!"

Yinping breathed a sigh of relief, mainly because the old lady was so seriously ill yesterday and she didn't dare to say anything for fear of upsetting her.

Now it seems that after the old lady took Dr. Jiang's medicine, not only her condition has improved, but her mentality has also become more open.

This is a good thing.

"When I returned, I heard that the Emperor had arranged a marriage for our daughter. The marriage was with Prince Qin's eldest son, Prince Yan.

"For such a big matter, Madam should have consulted the old lady first and then made a decision. Unexpectedly, Madam didn't even send any information to the mountain and quietly agreed!

"I...I also heard that Prince Yan was in such a hurry to get married just for the sake of his concubine, in order to bring his concubine and son into the palace as soon as possible."

"Stupid! Stupid!" The old lady looked at him with hatred and pounded the table.

I thought I had prepared myself mentally and would be able to face any news calmly no matter how ridiculous it was.

Who could have thought that the legitimate daughter of a duke would be forced to marry!

"What on earth was Luo thinking?! She always said that she knew how to educate her children and loved them, but she blamed me for bringing up my two brothers to be too upright and single-minded in serving the court.

"When it came to Sister Lin's marriage, she herself was confused.

"That girl is so dissolute and keeps a mistress. Even if she is a royal relative, what's wrong with her? She has been married to our mansion for more than 20 years. What has she done wrong? She is so short-sighted!"

It’s no wonder that the old lady is angry. Which good girl would agree to such a marriage?

Once you marry him, you have to raise someone else's illegitimate children!

I still don't know what kind of personality that concubine has, but if she is willing to be accepted into the mansion even though the man has exposed her, how can she not be scheming? How can she not have any tricks?

And I have a son by my side.

It goes without saying that life after marriage will be filled with misery and suffering.

What if she is just a vixen of lowly status?

Are you going to compete with her, the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion? If you don't, it will be embarrassing! If you do, you will feel uncomfortable!

Lian was scratching his head, but couldn't understand why Luo agreed.

If it were her, even if it was an arranged marriage, even if she died by hitting her head against the throne, she would never ruin her children's happiness for the rest of their lives!

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." The old lady had not coughed much at first, but suddenly she couldn't help but started coughing violently again.

Nanny Tang felt extremely distressed and hurried forward to pat the old lady's back, "Ah, look at you, why are you so angry? Didn't you say before that they could do whatever they wanted? In the end, how could you let it go!"

"I... ahem... I am..."

"I know, I know." Nanny Tang said, "Of course you are disappointed. No matter how you and Madam quarrel, the child is still from the Jiang family. The eldest and second brothers have already been like that. You blame yourself more than anyone else. If Sister Lin still hasn't found a good home, you are afraid that the Duke will come back and blame you."

"Yinping, make a cup of water for the old lady using the medicine prescribed by Doctor Jiang!" Nanny Tang looked up and ordered.

After drinking the spiritual spring water for a while, Lian slowly stopped coughing.

She sighed, "Madame Tang, you are the only one who understands me, an old woman. Sigh..."

Yin Ping pursed her lips tightly, thought for a moment, and finally spoke, "Madam, actually...actually, it was Miss Di who nodded herself. Madam tried to persuade her, but she seemed to have already fallen in love with Prince Yan."

Hearing this, Lian suddenly sat up, her pair of calm eyes almost widening.

"What did you say? Sister Lin had a secret relationship with that filthy thing?"
