The third master of Duke Xu's mansion was bitten by a poisonous snake, but at first no one panicked.
Until the government doctor couldn't decide the antidote, he asked the imperial doctor to come.
Of course, the people of the Xu family would do as they were told and quickly sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor.
When Mrs. Zhang passed by, the doctor sighed again and again: "I saw the wound on the third master, it doesn't look like a poisonous snake bite. Our mansion has been here for many years, let alone autumn now, it's the dog days of summer."
No venomous snakes have been seen during the major construction projects, so I guess someone must have brought them in, so we need to find out as soon as possible."
Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, fear came over her like a tide.
The Xu family was having a banquet today, and many people came.
Moreover, the grandson is here. If someone really did it deliberately, then maybe the person who released the snake came after the grandson.
Madam Zhang was horrified when she thought of her grandson playing with stones on the bridge and touching the flowers and plants on the roadside.
It seems that the top priority is for Lu Yunhong and his wife to take their grandson away as soon as possible.
Furthermore, this matter is of great importance, and the Zhongyong Bo family must be retained. In this case, they can be asked to present the case on their behalf. The poisonous snake matter has nothing to do with the Xu family.
Mrs. Zhang made up her mind and told the doctor: "Just use your housekeeping skills to treat Lao San. As for other things, I will take care of it."
The doctor was also an old man from the Xu family. He nodded immediately and returned to Xu Jing's bedside to guard him.
After Mrs. Zhang came out, Mr. Hu wanted to go to the inner room, but was detained.
Mrs. Hu was stunned when she heard Mrs. Zhang say: "Don't go in yet, don't make the matter a big deal. Send your grandson away first."
Mrs. Hu's heart sank, knowing that something serious was going to happen. But when she saw her mother-in-law coming forward in person, she felt as if she had a backbone in her heart, so she nodded and helped her out.
In the courtyard outside, there were many people standing, including those from the Xu family and those from Uncle Zhongyong's mansion.
Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiuzheng came over with their grandson and just entered the courtyard.
Mrs. Zhang felt her heart tremble, and said immediately: "Master Lu, Mrs. Lu, Xu Xiao's father has been poisoned by snake venom. I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while. Why don't you and your wife take your grandson back for now? Wait for Xu Xiao's father."
Okay, I'll ask him to come and apologize."
Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu stood at the door and did not go any further.
Xu Xiao stepped forward and prepared to send them away.
Zheng Zhiyong was concerned about Xu Jing's injury and asked: "What did the doctor say? Is there any antidote for it?"
Mrs. Zhang shook her head and sighed: "I tried the antidote, but it didn't work. Now I'm going to call in the imperial doctor."
Zheng Zhiyong said: "What kind of snake is so poisonous? Can no one see it clearly?"
Mrs. Zhang said: "I just scanned some shadows. It seems to be black?"
Hu said: "Xu Xiao, did you see what that snake looked like just now?"
Xu Xiao turned around and said solemnly: "It seems to be black and white."
"Black and white?"
Zheng Sihan saw that Lu Yunhong and his wife were leaving. Although she was worried, she also wanted to leave.
So she stood up and said: "I saw it, it seemed to be a white-tailed snake."
Everyone looked at her, and Zheng Zhiyong said even more nervously: "What does it mean to be like? Are you sure you have seen clearly? It's a matter of human life, don't talk nonsense!"
Xu Xiao said: "Uncle, don't worry. The third lady saw the snake first. She was too nervous and kicked the snake away, so she should be the one who knows best."
Zheng Sihan clenched her fists, her cheeks turning red because she was too nervous.
But she couldn't care less, because she was the one who kicked the snake towards Zheng. If Xu Xiao hadn't pulled Zheng away, the person who saw it most clearly would have been Zheng.
At the moment, none of them knew, as if she was the only one who had seen the poisonous snake. Zheng Sihan gradually stabilized her mind and said calmly: "The tail is white and the body is black. That should be the white tail that appeared in the East Palace before."
snake."
"But... wasn't the white-tailed snake taken back to the Lu family by Mrs. Lu? No..."
Wang Xiu couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Zheng Sihan was indeed waiting for her here.
But she didn't say anything, because Mrs. Zhang's face suddenly changed and her expression looked even more solemn.
She only heard her say: "I thought it was an ordinary poisonous snake before, but I didn't expect it to have some origins. The Xu family is having a banquet today and the grandson is here. Someone must have deliberately planned to kill him, so he released the poisonous snake."
After she finished speaking, she quickly took two steps forward and said to Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu: "Please, you and your wife, please take your grandson back first. When our Xu family finds out the truth, we will give our grandson an explanation."
Lu Yunhong said: "If it is really for the grandson, then the Xu family is indeed not safe."
Mrs. Zhang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, so I ask you and your wife to escort your grandson back first. Our Xu family is deeply grateful."
Lu Yunhong looked at Wang Xiu and asked, "Shall we go then?"
Wang Xiu hesitated and stopped talking.
Mrs. Zhang quickly asked: "Have you discovered anything? If Mrs. Lu has any clues, please tell me. No matter who it is, I will investigate to the end."
Wang Xiudao: "The old lady misunderstood. Because I know some medical skills, I wanted to see if I could stay and help."
"As for the grandson, I think my husband can escort him alone. After all, there are so many guards in the East Palace?"
Yu Deshui hugged his grandson and said seriously: "Mrs. Lu's medical skills are very good. When I was poisoned by snake venom in the East Palace, it was Mrs. Lu who saved me."
Madam Zhang never expected that she would be so moved that her eyes turned red. She quickly held Wang Xiu's hand and said, "I really didn't expect that Madam Lu was so kind. I really don't know what to say."
alright?"
"Then please stay!"
Wang Xiu turned around and said to Lu Yunhong: "Then you take your grandson back first."
Lu Yunhong nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll come back to pick you up later."
Seeing that Lu Yunhong was leaving, Zheng Sihan became anxious.
Why did she hint so clearly, but no one suspected Wang Xiu?
So when Lu Yunhong turned around, she stood up and said, "Can Mrs. Lu detoxify the white-tailed snake?"
Wang Xiudao: "Of course, don't I have one in my house? I just used it to research the antidote."
Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed and looked at Wang Xiu with gratitude.
Zheng Sihan muttered: "What a coincidence that there are two white-tailed snakes?"
Mrs. Zhang listened and suddenly realized something was wrong. She looked towards Zheng Sihan and saw Zheng Sihan staring at Wang Xiu with a cold expression on his face.
Suddenly, a stream of cold blood rushed straight to Mrs. Zhang's head. She stared at Zheng Sihan. At the moment when Zheng Sihan felt guilty, years of upbringing did not allow her to hold back. It was the first time that she had parents in someone else's house.
While looking after her, she angrily shouted: "What do you mean Miss Zheng San?"
"The white-tailed snake has appeared in the East Palace before. Naturally, someone has bad intentions. Now that the white-tailed snake has appeared again, it means that those thieves have not given up and want to cause trouble again."
"But why do I hear Miss Zheng San sounding like she is doubting Mrs. Lu?"
Zheng Sihan reluctantly defended: "The old lady misunderstood, I just think it's all too coincidental?"
Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly, already very unhappy.
Wang Xiu is the grandson's adoptive mother, and the grandson now lives in the Lu Mansion. To put it bluntly, even if something happened in the Xu Mansion today, Lu Yunhong and his wife, who took care of the grandson, are still to blame.
Under such circumstances, who would shoot themselves in the foot?
On the other hand, Zheng Sihan doesn't know what to say and is so stupid that I can't bear to look at him!
