When Bai Jintong saw Liu's expression, she knew the problem with the dish and the soup. She definitely knew it.

After dinner, Bai Jintong made an excuse to stay, and her parents and brother naturally stayed with her.

After everyone from the second house left, the lady-in-waiting realized that something was wrong with the people from the first house.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Grandma, are you sleeping too little at night? Are you sleepy during the day? Are you weak? Do you have a bitter taste in your mouth and can't eat? Sometimes you also have chest tightness and pain?"

Bai Jintong has taken the old lady's pulse and found that she has shown signs of poisoning. It seems that Liu had already started poisoning her.

She described the most obvious symptoms but didn't go into detail.

For example, the lady's white hair must have suddenly become much more than before.

It is normal to have more white hair as you get older, but in fact, the lady is only in her early fifties.

She doesn't need to work in the fields like farmers, nor does she have to worry about her life, so she should be in good condition.

These are all reactions caused by the toxins in her body.

"How did the second girl know?

Do you know how to feel a pulse?"

These symptoms only appeared in the past two days. Only Tao's mother knew about them. She thought the chest tightness and pain was due to poor sleep, but Tao's mother didn't know either.

"When the child was young, she liked to learn how to feel a patient's pulse. When she was on duty outside, she met an old doctor. The old doctor had no relatives or friends, but he taught her everything he had learned in his life.

She knows a little bit about medicine.”

Bai Mengshang immediately gave his daughter a master out of thin air.

"Whenever someone in the family gets sick, they rely on her."

Hong Tianqiao also praised her daughter.

"Can these minor problems of your grandmother be cured?"

"can."

Bai Jintong nodded.

The lady was a little confused. Since Bai Jintong knew medicine, how could their family be poisoned by charcoal on the road?

Then I thought about that kind of thing and it was easy to get caught if you were careless.

"Is there something wrong with the bowl of soup at dinner?"

The lady was not stupid either. She thought about the fact that Bai Jintong didn't let her drink the soup.

"To be exact, it was because you, grandma, ate those dishes and then drank the soup that toxins from the food incompatibility were produced.

Those dishes and soups are fine to eat alone.”

The lady's face suddenly turned ugly.

"The medicine and food we had on our first day back were also poisoned in this way."

Bai Mengshang thought that the lady was a nice person and didn't want to hide it from her.

Also because he had collected enough evidence and was ready to deal with Bai Zhongze.

The lady will know sooner or later.

"Also, the incident where our whole family was poisoned by carbon monoxide poisoning on the way back was not accidental, it was man-made."

The lady could no longer sit still.

"Do you have evidence?"

You don't need to ask to know that this matter is probably related to the second room.

But she didn't want to jump to conclusions before the matter was clarified.

"Have."

These days, while Bai Mengshang was at work, he was busy learning fortune-telling and collecting evidence.

"What are you going to do about this?"

The lady quickly calmed down.

She knew that the eldest wife had suffered, but she still didn't want the two brothers to make things too ugly. It would not benefit anyone, and they might even lose their jobs.

Although Bai Mengshang's position is just a powerless one, there are still many people who are interested in him.

He was lucky enough to be promoted to this position because the people in the royal family were so eager to compete for it. In a fit of anger, the emperor appointed Bai Mengshang, who had never done anything wrong and whose term of office had expired.

Some people wanted to pull him down.

Bai Mengshang naturally thought of what the lady thought of as well.

In the past few days, many people at his work have been trying to make things difficult for him, but fortunately, he has grown up smart and has avoided them cleverly.

“I want to separate from him. If we continue to live under the same roof, there will be chaos sooner or later.

My wife, children and I cannot always be on high alert against that family.

As the saying goes, you can guard against thieves day and night, but you can never guard against thieves in your own house.

Otherwise, in order to save my life, I have no choice but to report to the police."

Bai Mengshang said this and took out the evidence he had been carrying with him and showed it to the lady.

"What's more, he got involved in partisanship."

The lady looked terrified.

"Okay, you guys should come back early tomorrow after finishing your duties in the government office. Then the clan members will come to preside over the division of the family."

Bai Mengshang took out a stack of evidence and the mother and her two children were dumbfounded.

This person really does great things without making any noise.

Bai Jintong also wrote down the prescription for the lady and asked her to blow dry it.

"Mother Tao, I need to review all the preparations."

Mother Tao knew the second girl's abilities, so how could she not respond?

"Yes!"

Mother Tao asked the servant to quickly buy the medicine and bring it back to Bai Jintong for review. She kept it personally and watched it in person when the medicine was being decocted to make herself feel at ease.

The lady felt very disappointed.

She worked diligently as a grandmother in the Bai Mansion all her life and raised her stepson with all her heart, but in the end she was poisoned to death.

Of course, I wouldn’t completely believe what the people from the first wife said.

She would verify it privately.

But for now, this family must be divided up to avoid any major chaos.

After the matter was settled with the lady, Bai Jintong and her family returned to their own courtyard.

When the second wife saw them coming back, she wanted to say something to them, but the first wife's gate was simply closed.

"Ridiculous!"

Bai Zhongze was so angry that he threw his sleeves and went to his concubine.

Liu stayed alone in her empty room and cursed everyone in the Bai family except her own children.

Mother Hong has already prepared everything for Bai Jintong to take to the palace the day after tomorrow.

"If we split up, will we no longer be able to live here?"

Bai Jintong was thinking that although his father was the eldest son of the late Old Master Bai, he was a bastard.

There won't be much left if the family property is divided.

It is impossible to give the ancestral home to their family.

Only then did the family think of this top priority.

"It's okay, just take it one step at a time.

At worst, we can rent a house first."

When the original family returned from their official duties outside, they had no means of making a living. The family relied heavily on Bai Mengshang's salary and some income from the land. When they returned, they sold all their belongings and had only two thousand taels of silver on hand.

In the capital, he is considered poor.

You can buy a house, but a family cannot go without food and drink.

Bai Jintong and Bai Jinan both have to go to school, and pens, ink, paper and inkstones cost a lot of money.

"For now, the only option is to rent a house."

After making the plan, the whole family fell asleep with peace of mind.

The next day, before the clan elders came to preside over the division of the family, the lady called the people from the second house to announce the division of the family.

Bai Zhongze and Liu were shocked and angry, and immediately refused.

Bai Mengshang directly took out the evidence in his hands. Bai Zhongze felt a chill in his heart. It turned out that this bastard had been prepared and had bad intentions.

"Snapped!"

Bai Zhongze slapped Liu in the face.

“It’s all because of you, a wicked woman, how can you manage the household?

Don't you know there is such a vicious servant in your mansion?"

The dowry of the old lady was very generous, and he had relied mostly on her help to take care of the affairs of the higher-ups over the years.

But the lady always held the dowry tightly in her own hands.

Now that the family is dividing up, if the lady wants to live with the eldest wife, they will get nothing.

That is absolutely not possible!

Of course, Liu also thought about the seriousness of the family division, but she dared not say anything and just took it all on silently.

She knelt down in front of the lady and said, "Mother, please forgive your daughter-in-law this time!

My daughter-in-law must manage the rear house well in the future, and such things will never happen again..."

Haha, the evidence is right in front of you, but you still want to push the blame onto your servants.

The lady didn't want to get entangled with them.

"If you don't agree, I can report it to the police. Then it won't be a simple family matter anymore."
