Raising husband in Zhai Douwen

Chapter 99 Cause and Effect

This morning, the maids of the main courtyard of Wu Muhou's mansion called out as usual, but there was no movement in the house.

Mama Liu went into the room and saw the eldest lady lying motionless on the bed with her eyes open.

"Ma'am, ma'am!"

Mother Liu looked at the eldest lady in horror, and hurriedly pushed her away.However, at this time, the eldest lady is like a puppet who can't speak or move.

Mother Liu hurriedly yelled: "Go and call the doctor!"

Feng Lanlan came first and diagnosed that she had been poisoned.Afterwards, several imperial physicians were invited over one after another, all shaking their heads in confusion.

The old lady was furious and wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Yang Zhengyi controlled all the people in the main courtyard and sent someone to find Yang Jiming.

So, when Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan were still shopping, people from the Hou Mansion came to find them.

Yang Zhong said urgently: "Third young master, I have found you."

"Uncle Zhong, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?" Yang Jiming said as he quickly took the vase from Shang Jiayan's hand, put it aside with other items, and said to the boss, "Take all these things to me." Dongcheng Yang Mansion."

Yang Zhong said anxiously: "My third young master, a major event happened in the house, Master Hou asked you to go back. Don't worry about these trivial matters, come with me quickly."

Yang Jiming frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll send Jing Shuo back first, and then go to Houfu."

Yang Zhong anxiously looked at Shang Jiayan.

Shang Jiayan said to Yang Jiming: "You go with Uncle Zhong first, I can go back by myself."

Yang Jiming hesitated, and looked at Huai An, Wu Guang and Wu Liang beside him.

Huai An said in a timely manner: "Please rest assured, young master, we will take good care of young lady."

Shang Jiayan urged him: "Don't make father wait, hurry over."

Only then did Yang Jiming return to Wu Muhou Mansion with Yang Zhong.On the way, Yang Jiming asked Yang Zhong why he was in such a hurry to find him.

When he arrived at the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion, Yang Jiming was still shocked when he saw the eldest lady's current appearance with his own eyes, and at the same time, he was in a complicated mood.

Seeing her like this, he couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

However, the eldest lady murdered the concubine's life, so where can the people who were killed by her seek justice.Looking at himself and Yang Shaoming, even though they survived, they were both deliberately reared.

Yang Jiming asked: "Mother can't move, can she blink?"

After the words fell, the eldest lady blinked her eyes.

Yang Jiming asked the eldest lady: "Does mother know who hurt you?" The eldest lady did not blink her eyes.

Yang Jiming asked again: "It was the mother who harmed others first, and was revenged by the enemies?"

The eldest lady blinked desperately.

Yang Jiming said casually: "Mother looks like this, so she may not know anything. But please rest assured, father and mother, I will find the person who harmed mother."

Yang Zhengyi seemed to have never heard of Yang Jiming's question to the eldest lady, and said to him: "All the people in the main courtyard are in the courtyard, you go to have a trial."

"Yes."

Both Yang Boying and Yang Zhongming said to him, "Third brother is here."

"Don't worry too much, big brother and second brother. I will do my best to handle this matter well."

Yang Jiming walked out of the house, looked at the silent servants in the yard, and thought that some of them used to pretend to be powerful, and suddenly felt very happy.However, only fleetingly.

Yang Jiming quickly withdrew his thoughts, looked at Mama Liu who was the leader, and said, "Mama Liu, you are the old man beside her and the person she trusts the most."

"Third Young Master, it's my fault that I didn't take good care of Madam." Mother Liu was scared and anxious.

"Mother Liu, was there anything unusual before my mother went to bed last night?"

"Back to the third young master, Madam is as usual." Madam Liu lowered her head to hide her guilt. Last night, Madam Liu ordered her to secretly get rid of Aunt Qing and blamed those two in Puheyuan.

Yang Jiming chuckled, and continued to ask: "Before mother goes to bed, who else will serve her besides you?"

"Back to the third young master, I'm the only one."

"Has anyone been near the inner room of the main house after mother went to bed?"

In an instant, Mother Liu knelt down with a plop, "Third young master, no one can get close to the inner room of the main house." If someone can get close to the inner room of the main house, then it's okay?

"I just want to make sure, what is mother Liu doing so nervously, could it be that I got it right?"

"Three young masters..."

Yang Jiming interrupted her, not giving her a chance to explain. "Mother Liu, if you cannot prove your innocence, you are the most suspected person."

"Third Young Master, I have been with Madam since I was a child, and I have been loyal to Madam, how could I harm Madam?" Mother Liu cried anxiously, wiping her tears with her sleeve.

Yang Jiming walked up to her, helped her up himself, and said in a gentle voice: "Mother Liu, I believe you, but there is no clue now, and you are the last person my mother saw before she was poisoned. Naturally, you are the most suspicious. Think carefully about it." Think, is there anything unusual?"

Mother Liu thought about it seriously.

Yang Jiming reminded her: "For example, who have you met? Is there any difference in the food and use?"

"The people who came to see Madam yesterday were all the masters of the mansion, there were no outsiders."

"Who have been here?"

Mother Liu counted them one by one.

When he heard Aunt Du and Aunt Jiang, the corners of Yang Jiming's brows twitched imperceptibly.

However, Yang Jiming was pleasantly surprised to find that Mama Liu didn't mention Aunt Fang.

In an instant, he felt relieved.

"What about food?"

"It's the same as ever."

"Mama Liu might as well think about it again. I'll go in and have a sip of tea." After finishing speaking, Yang Jiming gave her a meaningful look, then turned and entered the room.

Yang Zhengyi and the two young masters were waiting in the main room, and the two young wives accompanied the eldest lady in the inner room.

When Yang Boming and Yang Zhongming saw him coming in, they all looked at him anxiously.

Yang Boying hurriedly asked, "Third brother, how are you doing?"

"Brother, don't be impatient, let's see what Liu's mother is capable of."

Yang Jiming's hint to Liu's mother before entering the house was nothing more than wanting Liu's mother to press the other servants and use their strength.

"Can this be done?" Yang Boying had some mistrust towards Yang Jiming.

Yang Zhongming said: "Brother, the third brother is better at interrogating, so let's just watch from the sidelines."

After the time for a cup of tea passed, Yang Jiming asked people to take a look at the situation in the yard, and when he learned that the servants were arguing quietly, he waited for another cup of tea.

"The third young master is here."

I don't know who reminded me, but the servants in the yard were silent for an instant, and stood in line again.

Standing on the steps, Yang Jiming glanced around condescendingly, and then set his eyes on Mama Liu.

"Mother Liu, do you remember anything?"

"Third Young Master, let alone yesterday, even a month ago, there is nothing unusual."

Yang Jiming walked up to her and said word by word: "There are a lot of instruments of torture in the prisons of Shuntian Mansion and Ministry of Punishment. Ms. Liu definitely doesn't want to experience it herself."

Mother Liu's pupils widened instantly, and she looked at him in horror.

Yang Jiming twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, lowered his voice and said, "Not only did I reform myself, but I also became an official, disappointing my mother and Mama Liu."

Mother Liu's heart was trembling, she quickly took a step back, knelt down and kowtowed, "Third Young Master, please forgive me."

Yang Jiming squatted down, and still said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Mom looks like this now, Mother Liu had better figure out how to live for the rest of her life."

"What does the third young master want me to do?"

Yang Jiming straightened up and took a step back, "Of course I want to explain clearly what happened yesterday."

"Third Young Master, there was really nothing special about yesterday."

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I've already asked people to investigate. The medicine that can make people unable to speak or move is unheard of, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can get."

Immediately, Mother Liu's kneeling body trembled even more.

Can she say that the lady asked her to find the poison?

What Mother Liu couldn't figure out was that the medicine was obviously put in Aunt Qing's medicinal diet, so why was it the Da Furen who got poisoned in the end?

What's more terrible is that there is no cure for this poison!

Yang Jiming circled around the servants in the yard and returned to Mama Liu.

"Mother Liu, you used to be my mother's dowry maid, and later became the mother in charge of her. You are an old man in the house and the person my mother trusts the most. You don't want to find someone who harmed her when she became like this today? "

Mother Liu wiped away her tears with her sleeve, "Third young master, of course I want to find out who murdered Madam, but I don't know!"

"Then tell me what you know and what I don't."

Mother Liu lowered her head and wiped her tears, remaining silent.

Yang Jiming sighed, "Mother Liu, since that's the case, then I can only hand you over to my father."

Mother Liu said anxiously: "Third Young Master, you can't do this. How could I harm Madam? Madam will blink her eyes, if you don't believe me, you can ask Madam for proof."

Yang Jiming laughed, and said calmly: "What if someone deceived mother? Mother may not know who harmed her."

"Third young master, it's really not me."

Yang Jiming looked at Yang Zhong: "Shut Mama Liu in the firewood room first, and let her think carefully by herself."

Yang Zhong answered "Yes", and then signaled to the nursing home to take Mama Liu away.

Mother Liu was so anxious that she yelled that she was wronged, and called out the first young master and the second young master.

The yelling became farther and farther away, Yang Jiming glanced at the other people, and said casually, "Okay, Mother Liu has been taken down, who should I ask next?"

The servants were all silent and lowered their heads.

Yang Jiming casually pointed to one of the maidservants, "Tell me, who came to the main courtyard yesterday?"

The big maid who was called out counted the number, and it was exactly the same as what Liu's mother said just now.

Yang Jiming asked again: "Among these people, who doesn't come here often?"

"It's Aunt Jiang."

"Aunt Jiang doesn't come to pay mother's greetings on weekdays?"

The servant girl hesitated for a few seconds, and said: "Ma'am, I don't want to see Aunt Jiang, so I won't have to worry about Aunt Jiang in the morning and evening, saying that seeing is not seeing."

Yang Jiming wanted to roll his eyes, and the lady did the same with him and Jing Shuo.

"Since that's the case, why did Aunt Jiang come here yesterday? How long did she stay and what did she do?"

"Aunt Jiang said she wanted to kowtow to the lady, but she stayed for only a quarter of an hour without even drinking a cup of tea."

"No." A weak voice suddenly sounded.

Yang Jiming looked at the little maid who spoke.

The little maid said: "I served tea for Aunt Jiang, and then retreated outside the house. After Aunt Jiang left, Sister Hongye asked me to clean it up. There was only a small half of Aunt Jiang's cup of tea left."

Hong Ye was one of the big maidservants, and said: "At that time, Mother Liu and the rest of us were waiting in the room. It seems that Aunt Jiang has never picked up a teacup."

The big maids nodded in unison, and they all said that they didn't seem to have it, or maybe they didn't notice it.

Yang Jiming nodded, for him, this is enough.

So, he entered the room and reported: "Father, according to what the servants said, the suspect may be..."

Speaking of this, Yang Jiming couldn't help but look at Yang Zhongming, hesitating a little.

Yang Boxing urged: "Third Brother, speak quickly."

Yang Jiming replied, "It's Aunt Jiang."

Immediately, the eyes of Yang Zhengyi and Yang Boying fell on Yang Zhongming.

Yang Zhongming didn't want to believe Yang Jiming's words, but their previous conversation in the winery had already broken down the wall in his heart.

"If it was really her doing, murdering the mother, murdering the head wife, how to deal with it."

"Okay! Second brother, you said it yourself." Uncle Yang looked at him firmly.

Yang Zhongming's gaze gradually became firm: "Yes."

Yang Jiming sighed slightly in his heart: the way of heaven is like reincarnation, who will be spared by heaven.If Jiang Yueran simply wanted to be with her second brother at the beginning and didn't do so many things, how could she be in this situation where even her second brother gave up on her.

For the next thing, Yang Jiming didn't need to come forward.

This time, he played favoritism.

When Yang Jiming came to Puhe Courtyard, Aunt Du and Aunt Fang were packing their things. On the one hand, they were going to move to his place, and on the other hand, they needed to use it for the New Year.

Yang Jiming asked the servants to step back and talk to the two aunts alone.

Aunt Du and Aunt Fang looked at each other, apart from being surprised, they both saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.

Yang Jiming said: "The lady was poisoned, so I interrogated the servants of the main hospital. In the absence of evidence, I reported to my father that Aunt Jiang was suspected."

Aunt Du asked, "Third Young Master, is Aunt Jiang actually suspected?"

"Have."

"That's enough."

"But……"

Aunt Du said sternly: "Third Young Master, what Hou Ye wants is not the real poisoner, but to calm down the matter, give an explanation to Wu Ning Hou Mansion, and give an explanation to Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master."

Aunt Fang sighed softly: "Third young master, actually..."

"Sister Ru!" Aunt Du interrupted her sharply in time to stop her from continuing.

Aunt Fang smiled lightly, and said: "It's good to let the third young master know, let him judge for himself."

"Aunt Fang, please tell me." Yang Jiming had a guess.

Aunt Fang said slowly: "A little maid accidentally saw Mama Liu handing over a pack of medicine powder to the maid next to Aunt Qing. That maid was actually bribed by Mama Liu."

This time, Yang Jiming understood immediately.

"So, it was Da Furen who wanted to poison Aunt Qing, but she didn't expect to be poisoned herself."

Aunt Fang nodded: "Third young master, this matter has nothing to do with your aunt, it's my own idea."

Yang Jiming scratched his head, looking a little confused, and said, "I'm either an unreasonable person, or..."

Aunt Du hurriedly said: "Third young master, you can't hand over sister Ru, she treats you like her own son. Many times, she thinks more about you than my own mother."

Yang Jiming said quickly: "No, no. Auntie, Auntie Fang, don't worry, I already know about this matter."

After leaving Puhe Courtyard, Yang Jiming met Yang Zhengyi alone again.

Yang Zhengyi said to him: "The truth of the matter is not important. The important thing is that the living will live well in the future."

Yang Jiming asked in surprise, "Father knows?"

Yang Zhengyi said pointedly: "Right and wrong can't be explained in a few sentences. As a father, he carries a Marquis's mansion on his shoulders, so there are too many things to worry about."

After walking out of Hou's mansion, Yang Jiming suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Who said his father didn't know anything about the backyard?

For so many years, his father is well aware of what the eldest lady has done and what the aunts have planned.

When Yang Jiming returned to his own Dongcheng Yang Mansion, Shang Jiayan just came back.

He hugged him and said nothing.

"What's wrong?" Shang Jiayan smiled lightly, "I'm back well, don't worry."

Yang Jiming led him to sit on the soft couch, and asked with concern, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired." Shang Jiayan looked at his expression carefully, "What happened in the mansion?"

"The eldest lady has been poisoned, she can't speak or move, only her eyes can move."

"What about drinking water and eating?"

"Can be swallowed."

"Have you found out who poisoned it? Such a rare poison, ordinary people can't get it."

"It's the poison that the lady got."

Shang Jiayan was stunned for a moment, "She wanted to harm others, but was harmed instead?"

Yang Jiming nodded.

Shang Jiayan thought for a while, "That is to harm Aunt Qing."

"Jing Shuo is smart."

"Stop flattering me. Tell me, why are you in a bad mood?"

"It's just that it's difficult to have both worlds."

"If everything goes well, how can there be so much joy, sorrow, joy and anger in this world?"

Seeing him downcast, Shang Jiayan pondered slightly and asked, "Is this related to Aunt Fang?"

"how do you know?"

"Aunt Fang is all about revenge, but she promised you to let go of your hatred and come to us to spend the rest of your life. It was too easy for her to agree."

"I can understand Aunt Fang."

"Knowing the truth but not being able to tell it, is your conscience disturbed?"

"I tested my father."

Suddenly, Shang Jiayan opened his eyes wide, and hurriedly asked, "What did you say? Does father have any doubts?"

"Don't worry, listen to me. In fact, my father has already known the actions of the eldest lady and the aunts."

Shang Jiayan was stunned, blinked his eyes for a long time, and said, "That is to say, father acquiesced to all this happening?"

Yang Jiming nodded.

Shang Jiayan understood the reason for Yang Jiming's depression.

"Forget it, since father knows, let's leave it alone."

"Ah."

"Take over the two aunts earlier. It's just that something like this is happening now, and Chinese New Year will be coming soon. It's more appropriate to wait for the first month and a half."

"it is good."

Shang Jiayan stretched out his finger and poked his forehead, "So stop drooping your head and cheer up."

Yang Jiming held his hand in his, "There is one more thing, Jiang Yueran became a suspect in poisoning the eldest lady, and I facilitated it."

"How much do father and second brother know?" Shang Jiayan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Father knew that Jiang Yueran was wronged, but he acquiesced in her suspicion. The second brother probably didn't know the truth of this matter, he gave up on Jiang Yueran."

"It seems that the wine you drank together yesterday worked."

"Yesterday I spoke so thoroughly, if Second Brother believes in Jiang Yueran again, then I really have nothing to say."

Shang Jia said but smiled.

After a while, Huai An came over and asked, "Young Master, Young Madam, can you pass on the meal?"

Shang Jiayan said: "First fetch two basins of water to wash up, and then pass on the meal."

Huai'an responded and went to make arrangements.

At this time, Yang Jiming remembered and asked, "Did you have fun today?"

"After shopping around for a while, I found it boring. I went to Moxiangzhai to read a book, and then came back." Shang Jiayan said without interest.

Yang Jiming said apologetically, "I'll go shopping with you some other day."

Shang Jiayan nodded and said: "Tomorrow I will go back to the Hou Mansion to visit the eldest lady, you can go with me."

"it is good."
