Chapter 63 Find out the murderer

"No need. Go pick up grandma and we'll go back to Zaochunyuan. After that, we still need to buy some food and clothing, and build a mansion. There are many things waiting for us to do. There's no need to waste time on these people."

"Yes, Brother Qing."

Seeing Fenghuang's excited expression, Xiao Jinyu felt warm in her heart and couldn't help laughing again.

……

The courtyard of the Left Madam Xiao Yuan is on the southeast side of the Xiao Mansion. According to the orientation of the nine stars in the Luoshu, it is the Five Yellow Lianzhen Star. If it is evil, it will lead to the death of a child, serious illness, widowhood and sudden death.

It is an extremely ominous sign!

When they arrived at the gate of the small courtyard, they saw several maids lazily lying under a phoenix tree and taking a nap. It was not until Shi Niang's maid You Tan pushed one of them that the maid woke up impatiently and shouted, "What are you doing? Don't disturb my sleep!"

"Get up quickly! Is this how you serve the Madam?" You Tan couldn't help but scold.

The maid and other servants in the yard were startled and woke up when they saw Xiao Shiniang coming. They were disdainful at first, but when they turned their eyes to Xiao Xian who was walking towards them with a slender figure, their disdainful attitude suddenly turned into horror!

"Yes...it's the Seventh Young Master! Can...can he walk?" one of the maids said in silence.

Several maids all lowered their heads. Although this Seventh Young Master was not favored, he was still Madam Zuo's legitimate son and the oldest legitimate son in the Xiao Mansion.

The servants did not dare to neglect him easily.

"How is my mother now? Why aren't you waiting in the inner room?"

Xiao Xian, who was usually gentle and expressionless, couldn't help but show anger on his face.

"Madam... Madam was not in a good mood a few days ago, and often hurt people with a knife. Madam, you right, asked the doctor in the mansion to prescribe some medicine for her. We boiled some medicine for her according to the prescription. Now she is still... still in a coma!" The maid answered hesitantly.

Xiao Xian had a bad feeling, so he rushed into the inner bedroom. As soon as he entered, he smelled a foul odor. He saw Xiao Yuan lying on the bed motionless, and it was unknown whether she was alive or dead.

"Mother? Mother! Mother!" Xiao Xian called out repeatedly. His eyes showed extreme fear and shock, and he couldn't help but reach out his trembling hands towards Xiao Yuanshi's nose.

At this time, Xiao Jinyu also strode over and saw that Xiao Yuanshi's face was dark and her lips were even paler, but her chest was still rising and falling slightly, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Xian, grandma is not dead yet, let me do it!"

Suddenly remembering that Xiao Jinyu was an excellent doctor, Xiao Xian immediately stepped back and let her come to the bedside.

After taking the patient's pulse, Xiao Jinyu asked Fenghuang to fetch a dagger, and without hesitation, she cut her snow-white wrist and fed the blood into Xiao Yuanshi's mouth.

It was too late for Phoenix to step forward to stop it.

Xiao Xian was even more shocked and asked: "Ayu, what are you doing? Why are you hurting yourself?"

"I have tasted hundreds of herbs, and my body has long been immune to all poisons. Not long ago, I also took the Anti-Poison Pill. There is a medicine in my blood that can cure all poisons. Although it is not as effective as a whole Anti-Poison Pill, it can suppress the toxicity for Grandmother."

"There's no need to hurt yourself! Brother Qing, can't you force the poison out with a silver needle?" Fenghuang said with concern.

"This time is different from last time, Fenghuang. Last time you had just eaten poison, and I made you vomit a lot of it, so the poison didn't attack your heart. I was able to suppress it with silver needles, but your situation is different now. This poison has accumulated little by little, and now it has entered your heart. If it can't be cured, you will die!"

Is it accumulated bit by bit?

Hearing this, Xiao Xian felt even more shocked and extremely painful, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Who did it?" he asked.

The servants in the room immediately knelt down, begging: "It's not me, it's not me, we didn't know!"

At this time, Xiao Yuan, who had drunk Xiao Jinyu's blood, seemed to have regained some consciousness and her body began to move slightly.

Fenghuang was the first to notice and quickly advised: "Brother Qing, Madam Zuo has moved, her life should be safe, please let go, I will bandage your wound!"

As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle filled with medicine from the medicine box, sprinkled the powdered medicine on Xiao Jinyu's wound, and then bandaged it with clean silk.

Having pulled Xiao Yuan back from the brink of death, Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but feel happy and relieved. After Fenghuang bandaged the wound, she turned her gaze to the maids in the room.

"Uncle Xian, let me ask!" she said, walking in front of the servants. "I am a doctor, so I know the poison that Madam eats every day and how people who come into contact with it will react. If you only eat a little bit of this poison, or just touch it a little bit, it will not cause any harm to people. But if you often boil or fry it, the smell will gradually poison people to the bone marrow and it will be incurable.

Even if people take this drug for a long time, their fingers will gradually turn black, and they will become more and more tired and sleepy until they become delirious and crazy like an idiot.

And you were sleeping here just now, you must have been poisoned, right?"

The maids became more and more frightened as they listened. They stretched out their hands one by one and saw black spots on their nails. Their sleepiness problem had become more and more serious in recent days.

"Yes, we have been suffering from sleepiness recently. Are we going to be like Madam Zuo..." A maidservant became frightened and looked at Xiao Jinyu. Suddenly she crawled over and begged, "Doctor, you are a doctor, right? Please save us, please save us!"

"So, who asked you to do this?" Xiao Jinyu asked.

"But I really don't know. I'm only responsible for boiling the medicine!"

"I am only responsible for prescribing the medicine according to the prescription!"

Xiao Jinyu's eyes swept across these servants and soon fell on a maid who was crawling on the ground with her hands hidden in her sleeves.

"You, raise your head!"

When the footsteps reached him, Xiao Jinyu said in a cold voice.

The maid was startled, then she slowly raised her head and stood up.

"Stretch out your hand!" Xiao Jinyu said again.

The maid's expression trembled, and she suddenly gritted her teeth, and suddenly jumped up, stabbing out with a dagger in her hand. However, in this lightning instant, before she could react, the dagger was knocked down by Phoenix. At the same time, her wrist made a "click" sound, and the whole person was thrown out like a kite with a broken string.

"How dare a servant try to assassinate my brother!" Phoenix said angrily.

At this time, Xiao Xian also came over and asked, "It's you. Why did you want to harm my mother? Who instructed you to do this?"

The maid sneered and looked at Xiao Xian with an obsessive and resentful expression, "Hahaha... why do you do this? I'm doing this for you! If your mother doesn't die, you will be the one to die. I just have no choice!

Mr. Qi, you have probably never looked at me straight in the eye. I used to be Achan, a maid in your house!

You don't even recognize me? Then what's the point of all I've done?"

Xiao Xian was stunned. He recalled carefully and it seemed that there were a few maids around him. However, because they were all spies planted by Princess Yunyin, he was always on guard and never looked at the appearance of these maids too much.

Later, the maids around him changed one after another, and he had no time to remember their appearance.

"Seventh Young Master, I was assigned to be with you by the mistress three years ago. I was originally going to use this poison on you, but I couldn't bear it, or I couldn't control myself from falling in love with you, so I made up a lie and told the mistress that you were already seriously poisoned and would die young, so that the mistress wouldn't have to poison you anymore. After that, I was assigned to be with your mother...

I'm just a servant, what else can I do?

But fortunately, before I died, I finally saw you and told you my feelings..."

Having said this, the maid actually smiled at him, picked up the dagger and cut her throat cleanly.

"So, you should remember who I am?"

After saying this, the maid fell to the ground with a strange smile on her face.

Xiao Xian was stunned for a moment, and an indescribable sense of guilt arose in his heart.

"Uncle Xian, you don't have to feel guilty. This is her own choice, and everyone must pay the price for their own choices. You don't owe her anything, and her feelings have nothing to do with you!

Sometimes being too kind to your enemies can actually be cruel to yourself or those around you."

Hearing this, Xiao Xian was slightly shocked. He looked at her and nodded slightly.

At this time, Xiao Jinyu walked up to the other servants again and said, "And you, although you were not the initiator of the poisoning, you ignored the existence of your master and let him die on his own. As servants of the Xiao family, who gave you the courage?"

The leading maidservant immediately cried and begged for mercy, "We are wrong. We deserve to die. Please, Sir Seventh Master, and this lady, give us another chance to reform. Please, lady, spare our lives. Oh, no, please, lady, save our lives!"

"Yes, I know I was wrong, please help me!"

The other servants also cried and begged in unison.

"How long has it been since you last cleaned your wife's body?" Xiao Jinyu asked again.

The leading maid immediately said, "I will fetch some hot water for Madam to wash. I will go right away!"

"I am coming too!"

"I am coming too!"

Under the leadership of the middle-aged woman, all the maids and servants quickly dispersed, and methodically brought hot water from the ear room and brought a bathtub to bathe Xiao Yuanshi.

Looking at all this, Xiao Xian felt indescribable pain and distress in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel a little comforted and admiring for Xiao Jinyu's decisive and law-abiding principles.

At this time, Xiao Jinyu said: "In a moment, I will give Grandmother acupuncture to force out some of the toxins in her body. See if there is anything in Grandmother's room that needs to be taken away! In another half an hour, we will take Grandmother away!"

Xiao Xian and Xiao Shiniang nodded, and the maids and servants around them started to get busy.

"Ayu, thank you..."

Xiao Xian suddenly said, his eyes filled with thousands of words, which finally turned into a determined smile.
