Mrs. Huo left quickly with Nanny Li. Xu Junjun and three other imperial doctors came to the house and took the pulses of Jiang Wumei and the other two one by one. They only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were not in danger of life.

Although everything had been arranged in advance, when it came to this moment, Xu Junjun was still afraid that something might go wrong.

Fortunately, Niao Niao had taken the antidote pill beforehand and was fine, otherwise she would never allow Niao Niao to test the poison herself.

Now that things were settled, Xu Junjun started to worry about Madam Huo's affairs.

After instructing Qingzhi and the others to take good care of their respective masters, Xu Junjun walked out of the room and went to find Madam Huo to check on the situation.

After leaving the house, Xu Junjun turned around and asked Chunlan:

"Who did the old lady arrest?"

Chunlan was told by Xu Junjun to keep watching the guards arresting people. When Xu Junjun asked, she revealed everything:

“Everyone in the kitchen was arrested, and the maids who served the food were also tied up.

I heard that Yinshui from our courtyard and the two maids who served my cousin went to the kitchen today and are now being detained by the guards for questioning."

After confirming that all the important witnesses were there, Xu Junjun nodded and walked out quickly.

Today's incident completely angered Madam Huo. As soon as she took action, the entire general's mansion was in an uproar.

The guards from the entire general's mansion were moving around the mansion tying people up, and from time to time, the servants' terrified cries for mercy could be heard.

In the main hall, Old Madam Huo sat in command, her face filled with murderous intent and her brows filled with thunder, as if she had returned to the way she was thirty years ago when she first entered the general's mansion.

You could hear a pin drop in the entire hall.

Nanny Li stood behind Madam Huo, watching the guards drag servants in one after another and interrogate them separately.

After one round, the suspicious person was quickly identified.

The food in the mansion has always been taken care of by a special person. Today, there are guests in the mansion, and someone is watching them eat.

Apart from Yinshui, the second-class maid in Xu Junjun's room, and Chen Yue'er's two personal maids, Xiaocui and Xiaohong, no other suspicious people had entered the kitchen.

Upon finding out this, Mrs. Huo nearly gritted her teeth and smashed the teacup in her hand in anger. After smashing the teacup, her whole body was shaking, and anger was burning in her eyes.

"good very good!

I thought it was the Huo family's political enemies lurking in the mansion who did this vicious thing, but I didn't expect that it was the ungrateful person I raised who bit me back!

Chen Yue'er, what a great Chen Yue'er! "

"May I ask this servant to bring my cousin here?"

Nanny Li stood behind Madam Huo, her face also becoming gloomy.

Madam Huo swallowed the blood in her throat and said harshly:

"Don't go yet. Lead your men to personally interrogate Chen Yue'er's two personal maids. After they sign their names, go find Chen Yue'er.

When it's written in black and white, I'll see how she can argue!"

Nanny Li immediately understood what Madam Huo meant and nodded in agreement.

Finally, Madam Li glanced at Yinshui, who was kneeling below and trembling like a sieve, and frowned:

"I don't know what tricks my cousin used to bribe the maids in the Young Madam's courtyard to do this.

If it weren't for your good fortune, old lady, and if it weren't for Concubine Jiang and the others who protected you from the disaster, I'm afraid this time would have been very dangerous.

If you fall, the young lady will probably be implicated as well.

Although this trick of my cousin is dangerous, if it succeeds, no one in the General's Mansion will be able to check and balance her."

Nanny Li has served Madam Huo for decades and has long developed a pair of sharp eyes. As long as she has the slightest clue, she and Madam Huo will immediately sort out the cause and effect and grasp the most important thing.

The old lady's eyes were cold and sharp, and she finally understood Chen Yue'er's motive for poisoning:

“It seems that I was in Chen Yue’er’s way, so she was so impatient to poison me.

Today, Concubine Jiang and the other two were completely implicated by me and suffered an undeserved disaster."

As the saying goes, a pinch of rice is a favor, a peck of rice is a grudge!

Chen Yue'er was an orphan whose parents had both passed away. Because her mother and Huo Qiming's mother were sisters, after her parents passed away, Mrs. Huo took pity on her loneliness and decided to take her with her to raise her.

Mrs. Huo never expected that the Huo family, in their kindness in raising an orphan girl, would actually raise a venomous snake spitting out its snake core in the mansion.

Old Madam Huo didn't dare to think about what would happen to the Huo family if Concubine Jiang and her two old sisters died in the general's mansion today.

The emperor is demanding punishment, the prince is holding the family accountable, and the second-rank officials of the two families in the court have developed a rift with the Huo family and become sworn enemies. No matter which disaster comes true, it will shake the Huo family and affect its foundation. Even his son, daughter-in-law and grandson who are far away in the borderland will be implicated.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Huo was furious, and every word she said was tearful:

"Send people to surround Chen Yue'er's yard. Wait until I have arranged for Concubine Jiang and the others, then come back to deal with her."

Xu Junjun came to look for Madam Huo, and happened to meet Nanny Li leading people dragging Yinshui, Xiaocui and Xiaohong out like dead dogs.

Seeing this scene, Xu Junjun felt relieved, knowing that today's show had come to a perfect end.

"Young lady."

Seeing Xu Junjun striding towards her, Nanny Li's expression softened a little and she bowed her head.

Xu Junjun nodded and looked behind Li Ma:

"Grandma's in there?"

"Yes, if the young lady is looking for the old lady, just go in."

After Li Ma Ma replied, she led her people to leave.

The three people behind her trembled like quails, as if they knew that what awaited them next was a torture worse than death. Seeing Xu Junjun, Yinshui's eyes burst into hope. She suddenly broke free from the servants who were holding her, threw herself at Xu Junjun's feet and cried:

"Young Madam, please save this servant.

"I poisoned the old lady on your orders. Now that the truth has been revealed, you cannot let me bear the blame alone!"

Holding on to the hem of Xu Junjun's skirt tightly, Yinshui cried out loudly with tears streaming down her face.

Xu Junjun looked down at her and sneered:

"I asked you to poison me?

Am I asking you to poison my grandmother because I think my life is too comfortable or I think I have lived too long?

Think carefully with your brain full of dung. If something happens to my grandmother, will I still have a way to survive in this mansion?

Only Chen Yue'er would be willing to use a fool like you. If it were me, I would have kicked you away eight feet away long ago to avoid being an eyesore."

Xu Junjun said so and did so. Seeing that Yinshui still dared to grab the hem of her skirt, Xu Junjun raised her leg and kicked her hard in the heart. With a dull thud, she fell backwards, holding her chest and crying out in pain.

Xu Junjun was impatient to get entangled with a small minion, so she nodded to Nanny Li and went into the house to find Madam Huo.

"grandmother."

Mrs. Huo was about to come out and met Xu Junjun. She said anxiously:

"Why are you here?

Are Concubine Jiang and the others in stable condition? "

Xu Junjun supported Madam Huo and nodded in response:

"Concubine Jiang and the others are blessed with good fortune. With the Queen already here, they are out of danger and are fine."

Mrs. Huo breathed a sigh of relief, patted Xu Junjun, and a look of dejection appeared on her face:

“That’s good, that’s good.

Junjun, please accompany grandma to the study. When something important happens like this, grandma will personally write three letters and have them delivered to each of our respective homes.

When the real culprit is identified, we will take him to each government office to apologize in person."

Concubine Jiang was poisoned and still unconscious, and the old ladies in the homes of the two second-rank officials were also weak after being poisoned.

Mrs. Huo did not dare to delay and went to the study to write a letter of apology, and asked the butler of the Huo Mansion to go to each mansion in person.

Soon, the two old ladies' children and grandchildren came to take them back.

Seeing the visitor, Mrs. Huo brought Xu Junjun and apologized again, promising to give an explanation to the two families within three days.

In front of her, the two families who came to pick up the people didn't say much, but how to discuss it after returning home was not something that Mrs. Huo could control.

After the two old ladies left, Jiang Wumei was the only one left in the general's mansion.

Because of her special status, Mrs. Huo did not dare to neglect her and waited by her bedside, anxiously waiting for her to wake up.
