Nongmen Fu's wife and the whole family are villains

"I remembered." Mu Siyu said, "We walked through many places today, Miss Chu sweated a lot, and wiped the sweat with a handkerchief."

"Handkerchiefs are private property. Except for the laundry servants, the maids in Ningzhu Courtyard can touch them. Immediately arrest them and interrogate them. I want to see who did such a thing against the master."

"The Lord of Dali Temple has already sent people to investigate." Mammy said, "In addition, the Duke asked where Lord Lu's wife is, and said that he should treat Mrs. Lu well, so don't scare her."

Bao looked at Mu Siyu: "Grandpa Guo said that, it must be because he found out that this matter has nothing to do with you, which surprised you."

Originally, the Duke of Chu didn't think that Mu Siyu did this, after all, she had no motive to kill.It's just that when things happen at that point, you have to call someone over to ask, and you can know some details.

The imperial doctor prepared the medicine and gave the prescription to Bao Shi for review.After getting Bao's permission, he grabbed the medicine and fried it, and fed it to Chu Ningzhu to drink it.

"Ma'am, Second Madam and Second Miss want to visit Eldest Miss." The maid who brought Mu Siyu over just now came in again to announce.

"Please come in." Bao looked at Chu Ningzhu and said.

"Sister-in-law..." A shrewd looking middle-aged woman arrived before anyone could hear her, and strode over, complaining, "I heard that something happened to Ningzhu, I was so anxious, I hurried back from my mother's house How is it now? Is the pearl all right?"

"Eldest aunt." The girl next to the second lady comforted in a crisp voice: "Eldest sister is auspicious, she must be fine. Eldest aunt, don't worry!"

"That's right, sister-in-law has been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha for so many years, God will not take Ningzhu away for sister-in-law's sake." The second lady smiled, but her eyes were full of contempt.

Bao said indifferently: "Second sibling and second girl have seen it, so you can go back first. Ningzhu just took the medicine and hasn't woken up yet. When she wakes up, I will take her to greet the second sibling."

"I heard that Ningzhu was poisoned when she went out to play with others. Sister-in-law, Ningzhu is a lady who is about to leave the court, why is she going out and running around at this time? If the Li family finds out, how can Mr. Li be happy? They The Li family has always had a lot of rules, and they like girls who are well-educated and reasonable. Our Chu family is a family of generals, and the Li family was already dissatisfied with them. If we let them find some reason, then this marriage will have trouble?"

Mu Siyu had known for a long time that intrigue among wealthy families was normal, but seeing this scene, she still felt a little sympathetic to them.

The person lying on the bed was still dying, and these so-called relatives didn't care how uncomfortable the mother was, and were still piercing the other's heart with needles.Could it be that the other party was upset, and they took advantage of it?

"Don't worry about the second brother and sister, my daughter will take care of it herself." Bao said, "You have visited the sick, and the old lady will praise you when she finds out, so there is no need to stay here to smell the medicine."

"Okay, then sister-in-law, if you need help, just tell me." The second lady took a look at Mu Siyu, and when she saw the ordinary clothes on her body, she didn't even give a single extra glance. "gone!"

Chu Zhenzhu looked at Chu Ningzhu who was lying on the bed, jealousy flashed in her eyes.

The marriage of the Li family is beyond the reach of the girls in the clan, but the emperor gave the marriage to Chu Ningzhu, who is also the daughter of the Chu family, Chu Zhenzhu is not willing, of course she hates this cousin even more.

"Cough..." Chu Ningzhu coughed.

"Daughter." Bao quickly grabbed Chu Ningzhu's palm. "you're awake!"

Chu Ningzhu slowly opened her eyes: "What's wrong with me? Why do I feel tight in my chest, like I can't breathe?"

"You were poisoned." Mu Siyu said, "After you separated from me, you were poisoned and fell to the ground."

"Sister." Seeing Mu Siyu, Chu Ningzhu wanted to get up nervously, but her body was too weak to move at all. "You know? I..."

"I've known about your disguise as a man for a long time, but I didn't tell you anything, so you don't have to feel embarrassed. You are a girl who is so far away from the capital city to Shanghai, and you look so beautiful. It's normal for a woman to disguise herself as a man. If You go out in women's clothing, I still think you are a bit stupid. But let's talk about your poisoning first. You are poisoned, don't you feel it?"

"I felt a little stuffy in my chest this morning, and I didn't have any energy, but I thought I'd be fine if I went out for a walk, got some air, and sweated a little." Chu Ningzhu said, "Now that I think about it, I was poisoned in the morning."

"Tell the Duke quickly, just say that the lady is awake."

The servant girl didn't go for long, when footsteps came from outside.

Bao stood up with his servants to greet him.

Mu Siyu stood behind Bao Shi.

Among the few people who walked in was a tall middle-aged man, he was not angry but powerful, obviously he had been in a high position all year round.

There was another middle-aged man behind him. The middle-aged man was wearing an official uniform, and he should have come for the case.

Lu Yi was behind them.

"Master, my daughter is awake." Bao said.

"Understood." Chu Guogong nodded towards Bao Shi, "You take Mrs. Lu out first, we have a few words to ask our daughter."

Mu Siyu secretly praised the Duke of Chu's eyesight.

There was a strange woman in the room. No one introduced her background, but he recognized her at a glance as the 'Mrs. Lu'.

The clothes she was wearing were made of fabrics from Hubei City, which was different from those in Beijing.In addition, although her dress is simple, the golden step on her head is very valuable, even ordinary officials' wives can't afford it.Only 'Mrs. Lu' who was born in a merchant and had no shortage of money would make such a publicity.

That's right!

Mu Siyu was purposely being so low-key and flamboyant.

She keeps a low profile because Lu Yi's official position is not high, and she doesn't want to attract too many people's attention.

She made it public because she wanted those people to know that even though Lu Yi was not a high-ranking official, he still had money in his hand, so it was still valuable.

Before Lu Yi's official position was promoted, he had to make more contacts.So, in the officialdom, how can we make connections?

One is enough power, as long as they have power, civil and military officials will come forward, and flatterers are indispensable.

Before there is no power, there is only wealth.

Recently, Lu Yi carried tens of thousands of taels of silver bills with him. With his intelligence, he must have made these silver bills valuable.

"Madam, Miss Chu is awake, as long as you get rid of the residual poison, you will be fine, don't worry." Mu Siyu persuaded.

"As long as the murderer is not caught, I can't be completely relieved." Bao said, "I knew that I would suffer such a crime when I returned to Beijing. It would be better to let her mess around outside. At least I don't have to suffer."
