Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

At this time, Mrs. Lu did not remind her daughter, but chuckled. You know, if the old lady was gone, she would be the most honorable woman in the backyard, and no one would dare to suppress her in the future. She would be unhappy.

"I'm afraid it will only happen in the next two days."

"Shen Nanyan knows medicine, so there's nothing she can do?"

"If there really was a way, the old lady would have woken up long ago. Why hasn't she opened her eyes even though the room is in such a mess? Tell your brother not to go out for the next few days. You should also do something for your father."

"Those two in his room have long been tired of playing, so there's no way they can stay at home..."

"Madame Yin!"

Suddenly, Shen Nanyan's exclamation interrupted the conversation between Lu's mother and daughter. Everyone turned to look at Shen Nanyan, and Nanny Yin was also startled and quickly stood up.

"Fifth Miss, have you discovered anything?"

Shen Nanyan was seen pulling the old lady's underwear and examining it again and again.

"The clothes here are poisonous!"

As soon as Shen Nanyan said this, Aunt Su's face turned pale instantly.

Nanny Yin was stunned for a moment, her lips trembling, but she didn't say a word. When Lu's mother and daughter heard this, they immediately got up and walked over. Lu took two steps and then turned back, picked up the teacup and took a big sip, then walked to the bed. She just reached out to pull the old lady's underwear, but suddenly retracted her hand.

"You said... the clothes here are poisonous?"

"Yes, this dress was soaked in oleander juice for a long time and made into an inner garment. If worn for a long time, my grandmother would become drowsy, her mind would decline, and she would eventually die in her sleep."

The handkerchief in Aunt Su's hand was already soaked with sweat. She kept staring at the old lady's underwear with a dull expression.

"really?"

"If you don't believe me, Madam, you can ask a doctor to check it out."

Mrs. Lu raised her head, as if she had thought of something, and she looked a little excited.

"Go and fetch the doctor."

The maid beside her ran out excitedly. Shen Nanyue glanced at the maid's back and had a target in her mind for the person who poisoned her. Since Mrs. Lu was so fearless, it meant that the poison had nothing to do with her. Since it wasn't her, it could only be Aunt Lan.

"Madam Yin, is there only one set of clothes here?"

"And... and... there's another set that's exactly the same."

"Let's take them out and have a look. I didn't expect the person who poisoned me to be so cunning. We can't figure it out with our brains."

The matter had nothing to do with Mrs. Lu, so she naturally wanted to make a big deal out of it and see how Shen Zongyuan would protect his beloved. When she thought that Aunt Lan might be kicked out of the Shen Mansion, Mrs. Lu was so happy that she wanted to drink to cheer herself up.

Nanny Yin looked at Shen Nanyan with complex emotions in her eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but Shen Nanyan lowered her head and was only concerned with checking the old lady's underwear, and didn't notice Nanny Yin's expression at all. Nanny Yin stood there without moving until Mrs. Lu spoke again, then she had no choice but to turn around and take out another identical set from the cabinet.

At this time, the doctor who was invited also arrived. After hearing Shen Nanyan's diagnosis, the doctor first took the old lady's pulse, then sniffed the clothes, and then cut off a small piece and put it in clean water. After a cup of tea, he looked up and said.

"Miss Fifth is right. The clothes here are indeed poisonous. The old lady is unconscious and weak because of the poison."

"How vicious, Aunt Yin, where were these clothes made? Was it Aunt Lan who handled it?"

Nanny Yin turned her head and glanced at the old lady. Shen Nanyan looked up and her eyes met hers. Only then did Shen Nanyan notice Nanny Yin's expression as if she had eaten a fly, and her heart sank.

"Madam Yin, I am asking you a question."

"Madam, why don't we wait until the old lady wakes up."

"Why... why is this happening? Since we've already discovered the method of poisoning, we should arrest the perpetrator immediately. Why are we still waiting for the old lady? What if she doesn't wake up?"

"How could that be? The old lady's complexion has improved."

Nanny Yin didn't know what to say, but if the old lady was awake, it would be easier to handle. However, the old lady showed no signs of waking up, which made Nanny Yin very anxious.

"Madam Yin, you're being so secretive. Could it be that you were the one who poisoned me?"

Shen Lingxi's words frightened Nanny Yin so much that she immediately knelt on the ground.

"Even if I had a hundred times the courage, I wouldn't dare to do that. Miss, please be careful with your words."

"The lady was just asking about the origin of your undergarment, why are you avoiding the topic?"

Shen Nanyan reached out and helped Nanny Yin up.

"Madam Yin, you are an elder who has always been by my grandmother's side. Thanks to your careful care over the years, my grandmother has been able to stay healthy for many years. It is obvious that you also care about my grandmother. So why are you unwilling to help my grandmother find the murderer now?"

“This…I…”

Nanny Yin still insisted on waiting until the old lady woke up. Mrs. Lu became furious. She finally got a chance to bring down Aunt Lan, but was stopped by a nanny. She instantly became furious and ordered someone to drag Nanny Yin out and beat her with a stick.

"Madam, why don't we wait for Daddy to come back? He should have left court by now, so there's no rush. It's better to change Grandmother's underwear first, otherwise the poison will never be completely eliminated."

"She's not saying anything because she's trying to protect the person who poisoned her. I'd like to see whether she's more stubborn than me. Madam Zhao, take two people to help the Fifth Miss change the old lady's clothes. Madam Yin, please don't get involved. What if she secretly poisons the place while no one is paying attention?"

Nanny Yin lowered her head and said nothing. She was pulled out of the door by the maid beside Lu. Lu's mother and daughter followed closely behind. Compared with the old lady's poison, they were more concerned about whether they could use this opportunity to bring down Aunt Lan. Aunt Su frowned and hurried out without saying a word to Shen Nanyue, leaving only Shen Nanyue and Nanny Zhao in the room to help the old lady wash and change clothes.

The old lady had been in a coma, and it was thanks to Madam Zhao's strong arms and waist that Shen Nanyan would have had no way to deal with her. An hour had passed when she finished cleaning up the old lady. Shen Nanyan had just sat down to rub her feet when she heard the sound of beating with a stick outside. She opened the door and saw Madam Yin had been pressed on a bench, and the servant's stick was hitting Madam Yin on the back.

"Madam, the clothes there were given to the old lady by me. They have nothing to do with Nanny Yin."

Before Shen Nanyan even stepped out of the door, she was stunned by Aunt Su's words.

The yard suddenly became quiet. The next second, Shen Lingxi laughed so hard that she fell backwards. Mrs. Lu also laughed so hard that tears came out.

How could it not be funny? Shen Nanyan diagnosed that the old lady was poisoned. Shen Nanyan insisted on saving the old lady. Shen Nanyan found out the poisonous underwear. Now the person who poisoned her was actually Shen Nanyan's own mother. Although it was not Aunt Lan as she had guessed, Mrs. Lu was also very happy.

"mother……"

Shen Nanyan ran to Aunt Su who was kneeling on the ground in two steps, her eyes full of disbelief. Now she seemed to understand why Nanny Yin was hesitant to speak, but she still didn't believe that the old lady was poisoned by Aunt Su.

"Is that dress really... a gift from you?"

"Before summer even started, I got a piece of Xiangyun gauze and made two sets of underwear for the old lady. But I was poisoned... I didn't know about it. How could I possibly harm the old lady? I didn't do it, I didn't do it!"

"This material and this dress are all made by you. Are you still trying to make excuses? You are usually so gentle and kind, but I didn't realize you were actually so cruel and ruthless. I really underestimated you."

While wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, Mrs. Lu looked at Aunt Su with a smile on her face, and she was extremely happy.
