Still in a daze, the cook had already been taken to the hall, his hands tied by two rough envoys, and when he saw Zhuang Shiyang, he shouted loudly: "Master, you're wronged, the little one didn't poison the food, the little one did everything. do not know!"

Zhuang Shiyang just looked at him viciously and instructed the servant: "Drag out and fight until you say it!"

The cook was a fat middle-aged man. Hearing this, his face turned pale with fright. He immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy. He didn't want to bury his head, but a golden object fell out of his chest. Mammy Li, who was beside the Zhou family, hurriedly picked it up and took a look: "It's a golden hairpin for women." After that, she ran to Zhou family's side: "Master, this hairpin doesn't look like an ordinary girl can afford it..."

Han Yan suddenly understood in her heart that her feelings were all set in this scene, and Aunt Mei might be in trouble this time. When she turned her head, she saw that Aunt Wan was staring at the hairpin in Mammy Li's hand, her face as pale as paper.

The doctor rushed over quickly, and the Zhou family hurriedly placed Zhuang Yushan on the soft couch in the room. The doctor helped the veins, and Zhuang Shiyang hurriedly asked, "How is Yu'er?"

The doctor was a middle-aged man, only Han Yan looked at him with shrewd eyes, and shrugged at Zhuang Shiyang: "Don't be alarmed, my lord, the young lady is poisoned. Prescribe a prescription, and grab two pills for the lady to take, and then rest for two days to recover."

Zhuang Shiyang was in a hurry to grab the medicine, and then let the doctor look at the plate of white rabbit cakes on the table. In a big mansion, ordinary doctors will understand some of these things. Seeing that he hesitated for a moment, he opened the pastry, put it under his nose and smelled it, frowned and said, "I'm afraid there is a lot of poison in this pastry."

Zhuang Shiyang knew it, and he was sent out after paying the doctor's money. Han Yan noticed that the doctor and Zhou looked at each other before leaving, and their eyes seemed to meet with deep meaning.

After sending the doctor away, Zhuang Shiyang returned to the hall, dragged the cook who had just been hit by twenty plates, and said in a calm voice, "Now tell me, who made you poison the pastry?"

Although the cook was a servant, he usually served food and drink, so he had never suffered so much. After the twenty boards went down, the man was dying, and the corner of his mouth was bleeding: "Master, the villain has been wronged, the villain did not poison."

However, Zhou shi stepped forward and said with a heartache: "You didn't poison? Why did the doctor say that there is something wrong with the pastry, not to mention the golden hairpin in your arms, is it possible that someone bought it, you are a servant, how do you get it?"

Zhuang Shiyang stared darkly at the people below: "Tell me, who gave you that hairpin?"

The cook shouted injustice: "Master, the villain really doesn't know, it was the maid Xing'er next to Wan Yiniang who gave it to the slave, saying that it was a reward for watching the villain's hard work."

Mammy Li narrowed her eyes: "That hairpin is worth dozens of taels of silver, and it's too high a reward for you to be a servant. Don't pour this dirty water on Concubine Wan!"

Han Yan had been standing on the sidelines and watched the development, but saw Zhuang Qin biting her lip, and Wan Yiniang's face was pale and almost fainted.

Zhuang Shiyang turned to Aunt Wan and said coldly, "Is this hairpin yours?"

"Master, it's the concubine." Concubine Wan replied with difficulty.

But here, Zhou shi already felt something was wrong. She had already bought off the people in Furong Garden, and she knew what Concubine Mei's plan was, so she decided to do it, and asked her to shoot herself in the foot. But how did this hairpin become the wife of Aunt Wan?

She was a little anxious for a while, Aunt Wan was soft-natured, and it would not be too late to take care of it later, but now it was time to overthrow Aunt Mei, so she persuaded: "Master, my concubine sees that Sister Wan is kind and kind to Yu'er, I'm afraid it is. There is some misunderstanding in it, don't be used by others."

Han Yan narrowed her eyes, and her eyes fell on Aunt Mei, only to see that her brows had relaxed at this moment, and she clearly knew it early in the morning.

"How did your hairpin appear on the servants?" Zhuang Shiyang looked at this dull woman, his heart could not contain his anger.

"The concubine's hairpin was lost a few days ago." Wan Yiniang had tears in her eyes, and her expression did not seem to be fake.

"Bring Xing'er up!" Zhuang Shiyang instructed the servant with a cold face.

Xing'er is Wan Yiniang's personal maid, and she was so scared when she was brought up that her face was pale. At this moment, the cook who had been gritting her teeth and insisting on being wronged suddenly shouted: "It's her! The other day, she said that Madam is considerate and cooks attentively. Food, I rewarded this hairpin. The little man was happy when he saw the hairpin, so... he couldn't wait to ask the price. At that time, the little man left the stove, only this girl! She must have poisoned the cake!"

A trace of ridicule flashed in Han Yan's eyes, and she was so pitiful that she couldn't speak just now, but suddenly changed her confession. This dirty water splash is really blatant!

Zhuang Shiyang was furious: "What you said is true?"

The cook spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Don't dare to deceive the master."

With a "slap", Zhuang Shiyang smashed the teacup in his hand, looked at Wan Yiniang fiercely and said, "So far, what else do you have to say?"

A hint of despair flashed in Wan Yiniang's eyes, and she looked at the cook lying on the ground in disbelief, then looked at Zhuang Shiyang, and closed her eyes abruptly.

Hearing a "pop", Zhuang Qin knelt on the ground: "Father, it must not belong to the aunt! If the aunt is really poisonous, why leave the golden hairpin to attract people's tongues. Besides, the aunt never argues for anything... Dad!" The little face was full of tears, but if you look carefully, you can see the resentment in her eyes.

Han Yan sighed in her heart, Aunt Wan was used to make a raft, Zhou's wholeheartedly wanted to bring down Aunt Mei, but Aunt Mei spared her hand and led the disaster to Aunt Wan. As a result, the most innocent people fought instead fined.

Zhuang Shiyang knew that what Zhuang Qin said was reasonable, and he still knew the virtues of the people in his house. Even though Aunt Wan was not favored, she has been keeping herself safe for so many years, and she has never made any mistakes. Now that he is poisoning his own daughter, he will never believe it. It's just that Zhuang Qin's remarks have questioned his sovereignty, so he is very displeased: "Don't speak for her! It's just a lowly concubine, what is yourself!"

Zhuang Qin's body shuddered, and Duqiang bit his lips, kneeling straight, as if he was not afraid of losing.

Han Yan felt uncomfortable in her heart, and a feeling of pity for the same sickness emerged spontaneously. Zhuang Hanming had already left on the grounds of Guozijian, and Han Yan didn't want him to see these smoky things.

However, he said that Zhuang Shiyang had thought about the matter for a moment, and knew that there was something strange in this matter, and it was probably someone else who did it. The Han Yan siblings in this house are too young, and Aunt Wan has a soft-natured temper. The only person who may cause trouble is Aunt Mei. Although he was annoyed, he was reluctant to act like a concubine. After all, he was a concubine who had been doting on for so many years, and he couldn't live without that body. More importantly, he needed Concubine Mei to balance the power in the mansion, and he couldn't let the Zhou family dominate.
