The doctor stood up and said, "I wonder why you want me to come down?"

"It's nothing serious. You can just take this opportunity to say that acupuncture is not difficult, and then tell me that you can teach me so that I can give my mother acupuncture to remove poison in the future. Then you can take me as your apprentice." She had to find a reasonable excuse for her medical skills. And it would be easier for her to leave the house in the future with this identity.

The doctor nodded repeatedly, not daring to ask any more questions.

"Okay, that's enough. You stay here for a while. Come back when the general comes back and calls you." After Chu Qianyu finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.

After Chu Qianyu walked out, she took a walk around Yunying's yard. After she had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, she sat on the swing on one side of the yard and waited for Chu Jun to come back.

I felt a bit cold, and the wind started to blow in the courtyard. Chu Qianyu stood up. I looked at the time and it was almost the end of the afternoon. I hadn't eaten all day, so I felt a bit hungry. When I was about to get up and ask, I heard hurried footsteps not far away.

I sighed, it seems I will be hungry again. I can only wait until dinner time to eat.

Turning around and looking towards the door, I saw Qiu Ju and Chu Jun walking towards them.

Chu Qianyu stepped forward and bowed slightly to Chu Jun, saying, "Father is here. How is Madam Man handling it?"

Chu Jun looked a little embarrassed, then he pulled Chu Qianyu aside and whispered, "Qianqian, father asks you for a favor. Okay?"

Chu Qianyu seemed puzzled and said, "Father, just tell me what you want to say. Why do you have to ask me for help? This is really embarrassing for me."

"Can you please keep what you saw in the temple a secret for father? Don't tell anyone else about Madam Man seeing Ye Yu in her room. Okay? After all, if this matter gets out, it will damage father's reputation."

"Don't worry, father. Your daughter knows what to say and what not to say." Chu Qianyu nodded obediently.

Chu Jun now felt that he was being overly suspicious. This daughter had never made him worry about anything. She was kind and gentle, just like her mother. Thinking of this, he patted her on the shoulder and said, "Let's go and see how your mother is doing. Father just heard that there was something wrong with your mother's medicine. Is it true?"

When Chu Jun asked his mother, Chu Qianyu's eyes instantly turned red and she said, "The doctor is still waiting in the hall. You can call him over and ask him and you will know."

"Hey, how could this happen? These two maids have been with your mother for many years."

"You can't judge a person by appearance. It's because they have been with mother for a long time that we didn't doubt them at all. And mother has been very good to them in the past. I don't understand why they acted like this."

As they were talking, they arrived at the door. Chu Jun said to Qiu Ju who was standing beside him, "Go call the doctor first."

"Yes."

Hongmei had just seen Chu Jun coming and had already slipped out of the yard. Chu Jun looked around the yard and saw no one, so he asked the servant beside him, "Where is the other maid who serves the Madam?"

"Father, I just saw her go out. I didn't have time to call her back."

When Chu Jun heard this, he already had a rough idea in his mind.

Then he said to the servants, "Go find the person quickly and bring him to me when you find him."

"Yes, I'll go right away." After several people agreed, they turned around and ran out of the yard.

Chu Qianyu reached out and pushed open the door, letting Chu Jun walk in first, and then she slowly followed.

After entering, I saw Yunying had already sat up from the bed and leaned aside.

When Chu Jun saw the person sitting on the bed, he was in a trance for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that they had not seen each other for a long time. Every time he came, she would send him back with various excuses. And the maid who served her personally was particularly hardworking. It seemed that she didn't want them to see him. Before, he thought they were loyal. Now, it seems that there are many doubts.

But seeing her distant look, Chu Jun lowered his head unnaturally, and did not come forward. He walked to the table beside him, sat down, looked at her and said, "Aying, how are you?"

"Can't die."

Chu Jun was about to stop talking about his concern.

Seeing this, Chu Qianyu quickly walked up to Yunying and said, "Father was very anxious all the way. It seems that he is very worried about you."

"Yeah." Yunying replied indifferently.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Chu Qianyu had never seen such a scene before, and suddenly she didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Qiu Ju knocked on the door: "Master and Madam, the doctor is here."

"Well, come in." Chu Jun said.

As soon as the doctor came in, there was a noisy sound in the outer courtyard.

"What are you doing? I'm going to make medicine for my wife. Why are you arresting me? If my wife finds out, she will definitely not let you off." Hongmei yelled outside and struggled hard. But it was no use at all.

He was escorted in by two servants.

"Tie her up and gag her. Wait until the doctor finishes talking before dealing with her!" Chu Jun looked at her miserable appearance, frowned and said with some displeasure.

"Yes." Another servant suddenly took out a bundle of ropes from somewhere and tied the man up very neatly. Then he tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and stuffed Hongmei's mouth shut.

"Wuwuwu~" Hongmei kept struggling. The two servants quickly moved her aside.

The doctor took two steps forward and saluted Chu Jun.

Chu Qianyu looked at the doctor and said, "Please tell me again about asking you to check those drug residues earlier."

The doctor nodded, and then repeated what he had said before. Chu Jun's face became more and more gloomy.

Then he picked up the cup on the table and threw it directly at Hongmei.

"Ah!" Hongmei didn't have time to react and was hit. Blood immediately flowed down her face.

Chu Jun stood up and walked towards her, kicking the man out again. He angrily said, "Tell me! Who gave you the courage to murder the mistress!"

Seeing this, the servant beside her hurried forward and pulled the cloth out of her mouth.

Hongmei was really scared now. She hadn't seen Madam Man for such a long time, and she had to accept the news that Madam Man was really dead.

So she knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Master, I would never dare to murder Madam. It was Madam Man's request. She said that if we don't do as she asked, she would kick us out. I have old people and young children to take care of. If I leave, how will I make a living at home? I hope that Master and Madam will forgive me. I will be loyal to Madam in the future."

After saying this, he was trembling all over. He didn't dare to raise his head. He pressed his head tightly to the ground.

"You? Who else did this?"

Hongmei then raised her head and looked at Qiuju who was standing beside her.

Qiu Ju didn't look flustered at all, as if she was just waiting for her to speak.

As expected, Hongmei pointed at Qiuju and said, "Qiuju and I both work for Madam Man. It can be said that there are almost no servants in the mansion who dare not disobey Madam Man. Please understand clearly, Master."

Chu Jun snorted coldly after hearing this and said, "I didn't even know when the General's Mansion became hers." Then he looked at Qiu Ju and said, "Do you have anything to explain?"

"Master, I did not go along with her. I was the one who discovered something was wrong with her earlier. I saw that she actually put something in the medicine that Madam drank. That's why I hurried to inform Madam. If I had gone along with her, how could I..."

Before she could finish, Hongmei yelled, "You're talking nonsense. You must have heard the young lady talking to the madam this morning and saying that Madam Man was dead. That's why you thought of betraying me to please the madam. You bitch!" After saying that, Hongmei struggled and crawled towards Qiuju.

But he was tied up and couldn't do anything. Otherwise, he would have fought with Qiu Ju.
