After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

The old lady and the second lady had their attacks at the hour of Chou.

Although it was already late at night, there were still many guests, especially men, who were keeping vigil in the mourning shed.

Lu Xingzhou was there too.

When Nanny Wu came to him with a pale face and said that the old lady and the second lady suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, he did not think twice and immediately called Hu Yuanpan, who was keeping watch in the same mourning shed.

In the past, Lu Xingzhou would not have been able to invite this judge, but isn't it just a coincidence today?

He came to help the Liu family and Marquis Yong'en. For the sake of Marquis Yong'en, Court Judge Hu followed Lu Xingzhou to the courtyard where the women and children rested.

Mrs. Liu and Lu's mother also put down the important matters at hand and hurried over.

Our dynasty attaches great importance to the separation between men and women, but it is not as strict as the previous dynasty, let alone seeking medical treatment when sick.

Madam Liu arranged several maids and old women to guard the courtyard and the corridor. If any female relatives came out, they would be informed of the situation. If they minded, they could stay in their rooms to avoid conflict.

The old lady and the second lady were lying on the bed in excruciating pain, wailing incessantly.

Based on his many years of medical experience, Judge Hu judged that the two were probably suffering from stomach upset.

He first asked about their dinner.

The Second Madam covered her stomach and said, "I didn't eat anything... just the food in the mansion..."

The Old Madam had her own separate kitchen, so it was impossible for her to eat the same food as the Second Madam, but she would often give some of the Old Madam's food to Madam Wu. Madam Wu was fine, which meant that there was nothing wrong with the food.

Mother Lu asked, "Sister-in-law, what did you and mother eat later?"

The Second Madam endured the pain in her stomach and thought for a moment: "Osmanthus, osmanthus cake... the plate of osmanthus cake on the table!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Liu's face changed.

Did you get sick from eating the food at your house?

The osmanthus cake on the plate had already been eaten up, leaving only a few crumbs.

Mother Lu came to Judge Hu with a plate in her hand and said, "Master Hu."

Judge Hu did not respond to Lu's mother immediately. He looked very strange. He took the pulse again and again. After taking the old lady's pulse, he went to take the second lady's pulse.

"Father! Mother!"

"Brother! Sister-in-law!"

Lu Lingxiao and Mr. Lu also came over.

Lu Xingzhou asked his son, "Where have you been? It took you so long to come here."

Lu Lingxiao opened his mouth, but was embarrassed to say that he went to look for Meng Qianqian after he finished his work, but unfortunately he didn't find her.

"Ling Xiao, come here and light the lamp for Judge Hu." Mother Lu called her son over from Lu Xingzhou.

"Okay, mother."

Lu Lingxiao picked up the oil lamp on the table and came to the bed. "President Hu, how are my grandmother and second aunt?"

Judge Hu took his hand back and said, "Please ask Madam Liu to send a maid to call Master Zuo."

Lord Zuo is also the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and his medical skills are comparable to those of Chief Judge Hu.

Madam Liu hurriedly asked the maid to go.

Lu Lingxiao asked: "Master Hu, are my grandmother and second aunt's conditions serious?"

"This……"

Judge Hu hesitated and said, "Let's wait until Lord Zuo comes over."

Lord Zuo came quickly. While feeling the old lady's pulse, he asked, "What's wrong with you? Even you can't cure it..."

He paused halfway through his sentence.

This pulse...

Judge Hu exchanged glances with him. Do you understand why I called you over?

Lu Xingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Two judges, please tell me the truth about what disease my mother is suffering from!"

Lord Zuo said bluntly: "To be honest, Madam Lu...is pregnant!"

When these words were spoken, it was like a bolt from the blue, making everyone's head buzz!

what did he say?

Happy pulse?

Is Madam Lu pregnant?

She is a sixty-year-old lady!

Has the world become so messed up?

Master Lu was stunned. He looked at his stepmother, then at his own wife, and asked hesitantly, "Then...my wife..."

Lord Zuo nodded: "It is also a happy pulse."

Master Lu staggered and almost fell to the ground!

He hasn't paid his public taxes for several months, so where did his wife's pregnancy come from? !

The Second Lady argued, "Second Master! I didn't!"

It's hard to say whether she has it or not, but the old lady is over sixty years old and has stopped having menstrual periods. Even if she finds a strange man, she won't be able to get pregnant.

However, the principle is one thing, but when it gets out and your reputation is ruined it is another matter entirely.

The old lady's face turned blue and red. It was such a great shame and humiliation to be diagnosed with pregnancy in front of the younger generations and outsiders!

Lord Zuo stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "Don't worry, the two of you. The pulse is just a pulse sign, and it doesn't mean that you are really pregnant. Maybe you accidentally took medicine that you shouldn't have taken, which caused the pulse sign to be abnormal."

Judge Hu took the plate from Lu's mother, put it to his nose and sniffed it, frowned, and handed it to Lord Zuo.

After hearing it, Lord Zuo looked at the oil lamp in Lu Lingxiao's hand and said, "Excuse me."

Lu Lingxiao moved the oil lamp closer.

There were only a few crumbs left on the plate, but if you looked closely, there seemed to be a few scattered brown-black powders mixed in with the black sesame seeds, which were very difficult to distinguish.

"Is there something wrong with the osmanthus cake?" Lu Lingxiao asked with a frown.

Madam Liu was unhappy: "General Lu, we have made hundreds of plates of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, if not thousands of them. How come no one else gets sick from eating them?"

Lu Lingxiao hesitated to speak.

Lord Zuo said: "The dosage is too small and the smell is dissipated. It is difficult to tell whether it is medicine or not."

Mother Lu asked calmly, "Madam Wu, you have been guarding the room just now. Where did this plate of osmanthus cake come from? Who got it?"

"I...I..." Nanny Wu couldn't answer.

Madam Liu snorted, "Did you fall asleep? You didn't even know someone had drugged your food!"

Nanny Wu argued, "Is it possible that someone drugged me in your Liu family and you can still blame us?"

Mrs. Liu was furious: "You——"

Lu Xingzhou did not stop Nanny Wu because he also needed an explanation. Although Nanny Wu seemed rude and impolite, she actually said what he wanted to say.

This kind of great humiliation must have been caused by a frame-up, otherwise the Lu family's reputation would be ruined.

While the two sides were arguing, two voices were heard talking at the door.

"Huh? Why are you here? Are you looking for the toilet?"

"Not looking for it."

"Are you okay?"

"Why should I be in trouble?"

"You ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, didn't you get diarrhea?"

As soon as Lu Linglong woke up, she found that the osmanthus cake on the table was gone. She thought that Meng Qianqian had come back and eaten it. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep and looked for Meng Qianqian everywhere to see her make a fool of herself.

"Linglong, what did you say?"

Lu Lingxiao walked out with a cold face.

It was too late for Lu Xingzhou to stop him. Lu Lingxiao grabbed Lu Linglong's wrist and stared at her angrily, "What did you put in the osmanthus cake?"

Lu Linglong frowned and said, "Brother...you hurt me..."

Lu Lingxiao said coldly: "Hurry up and tell me! Otherwise I will kick you out of the house today!"

Lu Linglong was frightened, choking and aggrieved, she said, "It's just a laxative, it won't kill you, let me go!"

"Where did you get the laxatives?"

"From Aunt Wu!"

Nanny Wu subconsciously took out the bottle from her sleeve, pulled out the cork and took a look, her face changed drastically!

Madam Liu laughed sarcastically: "One is your Lu family's nanny, and the other is your Lu family's daughter. This matter should have nothing to do with our Liu family, right?"

Anyone who drugged someone can say that the Liu family failed to exercise proper control, but the Lu family closed the door and harmed themselves, so the Liu family cannot be blamed!

At this time, the old lady and the second lady no longer had stomachaches, but their complexions began to look strange.

Lu Xingzhou realized something and hurried to get the bottle, but unfortunately he was a step too late.

Meng Qianqian snatched the bottle and handed it to Lord Zuo and Court Judge Hu: "My Lords, please take a look. What kind of medicine is in this?"

The old lady's face turned pale: "You can't look at it!"
