"Our eldest lady wants to have a taste, but for your blessing, even if you hold it in your hands and beg for it, the eldest lady will not even look at you!"
A maid snatched the ginseng soup from the boy's hand, poured half a bowl of it into a tureen kept warm, and handed it to Miss Jiang!
"Bah, what kind of weird smell is this? I won't drink it anymore." Miss Jiang wrinkled her nose in disgust after taking a sip, and handed it to the maid aside, "I'll give it to you!"
Seeing the maid happily drinking the young master's life-saving ginseng soup, the young man clenched his fists angrily, but the one opposite him was his master, so he had nothing to do!
"Okay, hurry up and deliver the medicine. You have to keep this in mind. If the master finds out, the eldest lady will not be able to spare you!"
The maid gave the ginseng soup jar back to the boy, not forgetting to threaten him.
Remembering that the young master was still waiting for the ginseng soup, the boy gritted his teeth and retreated with anger, holding the soup can and quickly ran back to Young Master Jiang's yard.
"Master, here comes the ginseng soup!" The boy came in panting and carefully placed the soup can on the table.
"I know, get out of here!" Mr. Jiang waved away the boy, hurriedly poured out the ginseng soup, and asked Su Xiao to step forward to check.
Su Xiao scooped up the ginseng soup with a spoon, poured it back after looking carefully, and found nothing unusual.
She thought for a while, took out a piece of medical gauze, asked Mr. Jiang to stretch the two ends, picked up the whole can of ginseng soup, and poured it against the gauze.
This time, it really paid off.
She spread the gauze flat on the table and showed it to Mr. Jiang. There was a layer of hard, shiny material on it that looked like glass particles!
"This, this is..." Mr. Jiang's hands were shaking, and his face instantly turned red, obviously suppressing the anger that was about to explode!
"It should be a crystal fragment." Su Xiao picked up a small piece and looked at it. The edge of the fragment was so sharp that it cut her finger open and blood seeped out instantly.
"Did you see that the skin on your fingers is quite hard and will break if you touch it, but the gastric mucosa is a hundred times more delicate than this, so what else is better?"
Su Xiao took out a handkerchief and covered the injured finger, straightened up and looked at Mr. Jiang and said.
In fact, ever since she discovered that the cause of Master Jiang's illness was gastric bleeding, she had a vague guess in her mind.
Stomach bleeding is usually caused by hard objects or foreign objects scratching the gastric mucosa. With so many people taking good care of it, the possibility of accidentally putting it into the soup is extremely small.
Then, there is only one truth left, it was someone who did it on purpose!
Reminiscent of the last incident where Dafu was beaten, the person in the house who is most hostile to Master Jiang is the aunt who was punished to kneel for cursing the young master.
It's just that this kind of thing is unfounded and needs evidence, so Su Xiao designed the ginseng soup part in order to induce the aunt to commit another crime.
Sure enough, you'll get it right every time you catch it!
While she was thinking about it, Mr. Jiang had already walked out of the door in a rage. He first had the boy arrested for interrogation.
When the young man heard that there was something wrong with the young master's ginseng soup, he panicked and told the young lady all about the ginseng soup that she had taken away from him on the road.
"Okay, okay, it's this evil again!" Mr. Jiang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He repeatedly ordered people to tie up the eldest lady and bring her directly to the courtyard!
"Mr. Jiang, please calm down. If the eldest lady really did this, she is just a child. Logically speaking, she would not be so calm and composed."
Although Su Xiao was annoyed by the unruly young lady who didn't treat others as human beings, she never thought of adding insult to injury.
Although the eldest lady drank the ginseng soup, according to the young man's words, she never touched the ginseng soup jar from the beginning to the end. It was only the hands of two maids.
Therefore, the problem should still lie with the two maids who came into contact with the soup cans!
"Come here, bring the eldest lady and the two maids!" Master Jiang shouted sharply.
Although what Su Xiao said made sense, he was really chilled by this incident. Even his biological daughter could no longer believe it.
The two maids and the eldest lady were quickly brought over. Miss Jiang didn't know what had happened. She was still struggling unconvinced and scolding the two maids who were holding her tightly.
"Daddy, just look at these despicable slaves and slaves bullying me like this!"
"I want to tell my aunt, but you are really partial and don't love me at all..."
She was twisting and screaming, and Mr. Jiang stepped forward quickly and unexpectedly slapped her hard!
Su Xiao watched the little girl's fair and tender face become red and swollen, but she just looked on with cold eyes, without any pity in her heart.
This child has been raised crookedly by her aunt, and if she wants to bring her back, she will have to take strong medicine.
Otherwise, when you grow up in the future, you will still be so bad-tempered and evil-minded, but you are not raising an evildoer for yourself!
Seeing that Miss Jiang had calmed down after being slapped, Master Jiang ordered a bench to be brought and interrogated the two maids in public.
The two maids bit her to death at first and refused to acknowledge her. It was not until they were pinned down on a bench and beaten twenty times that their entire lower body was covered in blood that one of them opened her mouth.
"It's all my aunt's order... She said that as long as I put the things she gave me into the young master's soup, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will give the slave a hundred taels of silver."
"This slave was obsessed with wealth for a while, so..."
The maidservant's voice became weaker and weaker as she spoke. At the end, she could no longer hold on and fainted.
"Pull it down!" Mr. Jiang said expressionlessly.
Su Xiao pursed her lips slightly, daring to murder her master. She could guess the fate of this maid without saying anything.
Just when she was in a trance, the aunt and the maidservant were also escorted over. The aunt was kneeling at the front, followed by the darkness behind her.
"Biyun, I treat you badly, why do you do this?" Mr. Jiang asked sadly, trembling his lips.
The aunt's psychological quality was quite strong. Although her body was trembling slightly, she still managed to put on a smile: "I don't know what the master said."
"I don't know? Come on, hit me!" Mr. Jiang shouted violently, and the maid behind Aunt Biyun was pulled out first, and started beating her with a "crackling" sound.
When the beating reached forty, one of the maidservants couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears. While crying, she told everything she knew.
It turns out that Aunt Biyun wanted to have a son to inherit Mr. Jiang's family business, but after giving birth to the eldest daughter, she had nothing to do. After waiting for many years, her mentality became more and more distorted.
Seeing that Master Jiang's huge property meant that her daughter could only receive a portion of the dowry, she began to hate the eldest young master even more and wished for his death.
She even thought of murdering the eldest young master, but he was usually in the academy, so it was really inconvenient to do so.
The eldest young master fell ill last time, and she was secretly happy for a long time, hoping that the Jiang family would finally have only one heir left, the eldest young lady.
Who would have expected that Su Xiao would be saved from such a dangerous disease. Her many years of expectations were once again in vain!
