Chapter 629 The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid!"
Qi was unhappy. She scolded Shen Mingxuan, "How could I possibly poison your father? Can you use some brains? This must have been done by your sister. Instead of accusing your sister with me, you turn around and bite me. Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
She said, signaling her daughter to shut up with a sharp look.
Shen Mingxuan stared at her intently, her heart in turmoil, but she didn't tell her that she saw her mother coming to her father's yard last night.
In fact, she never thought that it was Shen Wantang who poisoned her father from the beginning. After all, she was about to get married and would not do such a stupid thing that would harm others and benefit herself.
She originally thought that her father must have eaten something wrong, which was why he was vomiting and having diarrhea.
It turns out that the person who poisoned her was her mother!
Could it be that she wanted to poison her father so that Shen Wantang would observe mourning for three years and not be able to get married?
But she also has to observe mourning for three years, and her brothers are already engaged, but once their father dies, all their marriages will be delayed!
Why on earth would mother do this?!
Qi was actually very annoyed at the moment, because it was indeed she who poisoned Shen Guannian, but she did not expect that Shen Guannian's reaction would be so serious. If she had known this, she should not have lit the second incense stick last night!
This time she had gone too far in poisoning him. She had only wanted to make Shen Guannian sick for a few days.
This way she would have an excuse to proceed with her next plan.
Just as the situation was at a stalemate, Santu came back with a doctor.
After taking the patient's pulse and asking some questions, the doctor indeed said that the poison in Shen Guannian was from the herb QIANJIU. In fact, the doctor had a very sensitive sense of smell and he could even smell a faint scent of the herb QIANJIU in Shen Guannian's room.
While the doctor was taking her pulse, Shen Wantang looked around the room, and then she showed the incense burner to the doctor.
The doctor took a look, sniffed it, and was astonished. "This is a calming incense made from horsetail! This incense is indeed popular in the market, but usually only a small amount of horsetail is used. But in this incense, there is so much horsetail that even after it has burned to ash, it still smells of horsetail!"
Shen Guannian rarely used incense on weekdays. He was shocked and angry, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Shen Mingxuan again. Obviously, he still believed that the poison was given to him by Shen Mingxuan.
But he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and he didn't even have the energy to scold Shen Mingxuan.
The doctor knew his pain and quickly prescribed an antidote.
Santu took the prescription and ran to get the medicine.
After returning, he boiled some medicine and fed it to Shen Guannian. Within half an hour, Shen Guannian's headache and nausea symptoms were relieved a lot.
Now he finally had the energy to curse.
"Shen Mingxuan, you unfilial daughter! I love and pamper you so much, yet you dare to do such a cruel thing to me? You are such a heartless thing, I will break your legs today!"
While cursing, Shen Guannian picked up a stick and hit Shen Mingxuan.
Shen Mingxuan knelt on the ground, screaming and crying, "I didn't poison you! Why won't my father believe me?"
"You still dare not admit it? I'll beat you to death! I told you not to admit it! Do you admit it or not?!"
"I don't admit it! Why should I admit it if it's not me?"
Shen Guannian wanted to continue beating her, but Qi rushed over and hugged Shen Mingxuan, "Master, if you want to hit someone, hit me, don't hit Xuan'er! She has always respected you the most, how could she possibly poison you? It was clearly Tang'er who poisoned her, how could you be so partial and not hit Tang'er but Xuan'er!"
"Tang'er must have gone insane to poison me on the eve of my wedding!"
Shen Guannian was furious and started fighting with both of them: "I think it's because you didn't teach your daughter well. You let her act willful and misbehave all day long. If you hadn't indulged her, she wouldn't be so lawless!"
"A few days ago, she insisted on replacing Tang'er to go to the Duke's Mansion to treat the Duke's wife's illness. In the end, she was sold to Chichun Lane. This is also your fault!"
"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. You have evil intentions, and Mingxuan has learned bad habits from you!"
Qi and Shen Mingxuan were beaten so hard that they screamed in pain. Later, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly, especially Shen Mingxuan, who cried miserably.
Shen Wantang looked at the lively scene, the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Then she turned and walked out of Shen Guannian's yard.
Even when she returned to her own yard, she could still hear the crying sounds from the other side.
Qin Xin asked curiously, "Miss, was it really the eldest lady who poisoned the master?"
Shen Wantang smiled. "Of course not her. Even though Shen Mingxuan is stupid and vicious, she wouldn't use her viciousness on my father. After all, my father has truly treated her like a treasure for the past ten years."
"Ah? Isn't it the eldest lady? Then why do you say it's her?"
"Because the person who poisoned her was our good wife, Shen Mingxuan's biological mother. If I say it was Shen Mingxuan, my father will also think it was Shen Mingxuan. Shen Mingxuan will feel wronged and will also hate the person who actually poisoned her father. I was just trying to drive a wedge between them, not to really find the murderer."
"But how do you know that the young lady will believe that it was the lady who actually poisoned her, and not you?"
"It's simple. I'm about to get married, and I'm the one who least wants anything to happen to my father. There must be a legitimate motive for poisoning my father. I don't have that motive, but Shen Mingxuan and Qi both do."
Shen Wantang said thoughtfully, "Also, I think Shen Mingxuan must know something that we don't. Otherwise, when I framed her, she wouldn't have asked Qi if she was the one who poisoned my father."
Qin Xin nodded in agreement. After a while, she went out again and returned to Shen Guannian's yard to listen to the movement inside.
While listening, she secretly slipped a piece of silver to the servant Sanshui.
Sanshui calmly put it away, glanced inside, and then whispered, "They refuse to admit it, insisting that the second young lady poisoned them. I don't know what's wrong with the master this time, he doesn't believe a word they say. It wasn't like this before. In the past, the master believed everything the lady said, never bothering to distinguish between truth and falsehood. I see that things are about to change!"
Qin Xin curled her lips in disdain: "Before, he was too lazy to distinguish the true from the false because it was the Second Young Lady who suffered, not him. Now that the knife is stabbed into his own body, he naturally feels the pain and knows how to distinguish the true from the false."
She actually wanted to curse and say that he deserved it, but Sanshui was Shen Guannian's servant after all, so she held back.
Unexpectedly, she held back, but Sanshui couldn't hold back and said directly: "He deserves it. Madam has deceived him countless times in the past and tortured the Second Young Miss countless times, but he never turned a blind eye. That's why Madam has become more and more daring. Now she dares to poison him directly."
