The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t
Chapter 24 Her eldest daughter-in-law was using her as a pawn; how could she swallow this insult?
Cui Ruixin's expression immediately changed.
What does Shen Jinzhu mean by comparing a wild girl of unknown origin to her own daughter?
“There’s no need for that. As long as our hearts are together, no matter how far apart we are, I believe our feelings won’t be bad. Weiwei is my own daughter, and the old man ordered her to be pampered to death. I’m sure they can’t bear to send Weiwei to be raised on the estate.” Cui Ruixin replied indifferently and turned to leave.
As soon as she turned around, the smile on her face vanished completely.
This time, she had to get rid of Yu Ningyao.
Shen Jinzhu returned to her own courtyard, but Emerald had not yet returned, so she had to prepare for both possibilities.
If the medicine is fine, her precious daughter will inevitably be sent to the estate. She needs to prepare things in advance and make sure everyone on the estate is well taken care of so that her daughter can live comfortably.
If there's a problem with the medication, she'll have her husband make a huge scene and find out who's behind it all.
She wanted everyone to know that the third wife's family was not a pushover that anyone could easily bully.
Not long after, Jade returned first.
"How is it?" Shen Jinzhu asked impatiently.
Emerald's face was very pale. She took out the prescription and the dregs of the medicine.
"Dr. Zhang said that the perilla seeds in this prescription, which are supposed to lower qi, resolve phlegm, stop coughing, and relieve asthma, have been replaced with a medicine that causes internal heat, which is why the old lady has been unwell for so long."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jinzhu knew that her guess was correct.
"Damn it, who on earth wants to harm Miss?" Emerald said indignantly.
"Our young lady is so lovely, why target her?"
Hearing this, Yu Ningyao, who was standing to the side, didn't even need the system to investigate; she could guess that it must have been the eldest son's doing again.
She chewed on her fingers, thinking to herself that this matter couldn't just be left like this.
She had to find a way to give the eldest son some things to do, so that he wouldn't keep an eye on her all the time.
When Yu Kangjing returned home from his shift, he saw his wife looking depressed as soon as he entered the room. He also saw the dregs of medicine on the table and thought she was feeling unwell.
He rushed forward and asked with concern, "What happened? Is Madam injured?"
Jade, being quick-witted, recounted what had happened that day.
"You bastard, who has nothing better to do than target my precious child?" Yu Kangjing was furious and got up to take the dregs of medicine to his mother to explain.
Shen Jinzhu got up and pulled him back.
"Don't go yet. If we go now, without evidence, Mother might not believe us."
Prejudice was like a leaf that blinded the old lady.
It's no use saying anything more until the leaves are taken away.
"We can't just let our precious baby take the blame for nothing!" Yu Kangjing was furious.
"Of course we can't just let it go like this," Shen Jinzhu said, expressing her thoughts.
The man's purpose was simple: he didn't want his mother-in-law dead, but rather wanted to use this as an excuse to drive Yaoyao out of the Marquis's mansion.
As long as Yaoyao doesn't leave, this medicine will definitely continue.
"It would be better to wait until tomorrow, catch them red-handed, and then ask the doctor from Huichuntang to make a diagnosis and take Mother's pulse at the same time."
After listening to Shen Jinzhu's words, Yu Kangjing calmed down.
“You’re right, Madam. We’ll do as you say. Tomorrow, we’ll catch that scoundrel who switched the medicine red-handed!”
"By the way, why don't you go and ask the doctor your sister-in-law invited today? Mother took medicine that worsened her condition, but he said there was nothing seriously wrong and no change. Either he's not skilled enough, or he's been bribed to say that on purpose," Shen Jinzhu reminded her.
Yu Kangjing was taken aback: "You mean..."
He was unwilling to doubt his sister-in-law.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law have always treated them very well.
How could someone do such a thing?
"I didn't mean anything by it. What if my sister-in-law was also deceived?" Shen Jinzhu said meaningfully.
"I know, I won't act impulsively." Yu Kangjing took a deep breath and, following his wife's instructions, went to find the doctor himself.
When the old lady learned that her youngest son had returned, she waited for him to come and talk about Yu Ningyao.
Unexpectedly, he went out again before anyone else arrived.
"He just doesn't want to send that girl away. Cough cough cough." The old lady's cough worsened with anger.
She thought that Yu Kangjing left the mansion because he didn't want to talk to her about sending Yu Ningyao away, and was deliberately avoiding her.
"I refuse to believe that he can hide forever, even if he can hide for a while."
So the old lady forced herself to stay put and sent someone to guard the entrance of the third house's courtyard.
But Yu Kangjing didn't come back even after she fell asleep.
The next day, after she woke up, Yu Kangjing went to work at the yamen again.
The old lady was so angry that she slammed her fist on the table.
"Cough cough cough, I think he's deliberately trying to go against me."
After catching her breath, the old lady said again, "Go and invite the Third Madam here. I want to see if she really wants a wild girl to bring me to my death."
She had barely finished speaking when Shen Jinzhu arrived.
As soon as she entered the door, she retorted, "Mother, please don't say that. Yaoyao is a member of our family genealogy, how can you call her a wild girl?"
"What are you doing here!" the old lady exclaimed angrily.
Unexpectedly, his complaints were overheard by the third son's wife.
"Mother, I've come to bring you good news." Shen Jinzhu smiled faintly.
"What's the joy about?" the old lady asked, her face full of confusion.
"Bring the person up." Shen Jinzhu's smile faded.
The old lady looked closely and saw that the person she brought was Yingying, the maid who was in charge of brewing medicine for her.
"What do you mean by this?" the old lady asked, somewhat displeased.
Has the third son's wife gone too far? She's even encroached on her own little kitchen.
“Mother, your illness wasn’t caused by Yaoyao. Someone did it on purpose.” Shen Jinzhu recounted what she had investigated.
Both packets of dregs were delivered to the old lady.
"I...I didn't mean to, I just accidentally mixed them up. Please forgive me, Madam!" Yingying cried as she knelt on the ground.
"And what did this doctor say?" Yu Kangjing also led the doctor who came yesterday into Wanxiang Hall.
"You didn't go to work?" The old lady looked at her son in astonishment.
"Nothing is more important than my mother's health."
Yu Kangjing's words made the old lady feel very comfortable.
He recounted the details of his investigation in detail.
“Yesterday’s doctor was a quack. He admitted that someone gave him money to deliberately say that the medicine was fine and that your body was also fine.”
After he finished speaking, the doctor from Huichuntang arrived.
He took the old lady's pulse in front of everyone, and described her symptoms after taking the medicine, as well as the reasons for these symptoms.
The old lady was now completely convinced.
She roared, "You scoundrel! Go and fetch the Madam!"
The old lady is not stupid.
She had to contend with countless concubines to secure her position as the mistress of the house.
These are all tricks she's already used.
With just a little thought, she could figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
To spare her daughters-in-law the suffering she had endured, she specifically established a family rule that only men over forty without children could take concubines.
Who would have thought that her eldest daughter-in-law would use her as a pawn? How could she swallow this insult?
