After Nan Qing woke up, he felt much better. After a few words of persuasion from A Lan, he returned to Nan Mansion. He still had to make medicine for his father, so naturally he couldn't delay.
However, as soon as he entered the house, the housekeeper said to him: "Master, the steward committed suicide in his room."
"What? Aunt Xian committed suicide?" Nan Qing asked nervously.
"That's right, when it was time to have dinner, we didn't see her, so we sent people to the yard to invite her over, but we didn't expect that she had taken poison in the house. Before you left, you didn't say where you were going, so you had to
I'm waiting for you to come back." The butler said.
"Take me to see it." Nan Qing said.
The steward took Nan Qing to the side courtyard. When they entered the room, a maid had already wiped away the blood from the corner of Aunt Xian's mouth.
Nan Qing noticed that the clothes on Aunt Xian were different from the ones she wore just now. It seemed that she had changed into a new one just now. Nan Qing was very sad, but didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know how to deal with Aunt Xian before, so he
After leaving Nanfu, he didn't want to kill Aunt Xian, but he felt sorry for his mother. His heart was very complicated, but when he saw Aunt Xian really died of poison, he was extremely sad.
"Why are you so stupid? I didn't know what to do when I left. Why didn't you wait for me to come back?" Nan Qing walked up to Aunt Xian and said.
He really couldn't let go of Aunt Xian, who was the only one who cared about him the most these years. He had never regarded Aunt Xian as a servant, because Aunt Xian was so kind to him.
Now seeing Aunt Xian lying here as if she was asleep, he really couldn't bear it.
"Master, don't be too sad. According to the rules, Aunt Xian will be buried in the back mountain without anyone to rely on." The housekeeper reminded the young master.
"Steward, please hold a funeral for Aunt Xian according to the rules of the concubine's house." Nan Qing said.
"Concubine? Master, you mean according to the aunt's position?" the housekeeper asked.
"That's fine." Nan Qing said.
Although the housekeeper couldn't figure it out, he knew that the young master's instructions could not be delayed and quickly asked people to arrange them in the yard.
It turned out that Aunt Xian waited until Nan Qing left and knew that she had no way to face Nan Qing. So, she asked someone to prepare hot water. After washing herself, she changed into brand-new clothes and then committed suicide by taking poison. She knew that only by doing this could she save herself.
This matter is an atonement. Even if the madam's kindness is fake, she cannot kill the madam out of resentment.
When the madam passed away, the young master was already ten years old. But when the young master was young, the madam was worried about the nuns in the house, so she asked her to take care of the young master.
She didn't want Nan Qing to be in trouble, so she took the poison while Nan Qing was away.
Nan Qing sat next to Aunt Xian without saying a word. After the room was properly decorated, she came out and sat in the yard.
Aunt Xian left like this, which was something he didn't expect. He knew that Aunt Xian should feel ashamed of himself for doing this. When he left, Aunt Xian didn't ask him to stay.
He didn't expect that this was the last time he spoke to Aunt Xian. In fact, he still had many things he wanted to ask Aunt Xian, but unfortunately he never had the chance again.
"Qing'er, things have happened, don't be too sad."
Nan Qing raised his head and saw that the person he saw was his father.
It turned out that after the housekeeper heard the news, he went to tell Mr. Nan. Mr. Nan did not expect that Aunt Xian would commit suicide, let alone that Nanqing would hold a funeral as a concubine. Logically speaking, Aunt Xian was a servant and she could be buried in a low-key manner.
.Nan Qing actually asked her to be buried as a concubine without consulting him.
"Father, you already know, right?" Nan Qing asked.
"I know she has always taken care of you, and you treat her like a mother. You just asked someone to bury him generously. Why should he be buried as a concubine?" asked the master of the Nan family.
"Father, it doesn't matter how she is buried since she is no longer alive. She wanted to marry into the Nan family during her lifetime, so why not let her be buried in this way. I know I should discuss it with you in advance, but I want to
Please handle these things for Aunt Xian." Nan Qing said.
"Okay, I don't blame you, I just feel a little awkward." Master Nan said.
"Father, when you knew that mother was all pretending, didn't you ever doubt Aunt Xian?" Nan Qing said.
"Of course I know Aunt Xian's thoughts very well, and I also know very well what she did for your mother. Since your mother passed away, I saw that she took good care of you, so I didn't drive her away from the Nan family. Let her
As a steward, I don’t want her to have other ideas." Mr. Nan said.
It turns out that the master of the Nan family has long been aware of Aunt Xian's thoughts, but he has no intention of taking a concubine, so he asked Aunt Xian to be in charge to prevent her from thinking wildly. He thought that Aunt Xian had given up this idea long ago and never thought of it.
More than twenty years later, I still have such thoughts.
He knew that Madam had a bad temper. Not only was she pretending to be kind, but she was also very vicious towards her servants. However, Mr. Nan did not expect that Madam had actually been vicious to Ning'er. Ning'er did not tell him about this.
If it hadn't been for being bewitched, he might never have known.
"Father knows Aunt Xian's thoughts?" Nan Qing asked.
"At that time, your mother was pregnant with you and she was always up at night when she felt unwell. She was worried that it would affect my treatment the next day, so she asked me to go to the side room to rest. That night, Aunt Xian went to the side room and said
She wanted to serve me on my wife's behalf. I drove her out angrily and told her to put away her inappropriate thoughts. I thought she would give up here, but I didn't expect that after your mother passed away, she ran to the inner room of the main courtyard again.
I planned to drive her out of the house, but she begged for mercy and told me that you can't live without her. Let you know that if I drive her away, you will definitely hate me. She said that she would never do this again.
Please ask me to keep her to take care of you. For your sake, I left her in Nan Mansion. Later, when I saw that she behaved herself, I had no intention of letting her leave," said the master of the Nan family.
Of course, Nan Qing didn't know so many things. Today was the first time his father told him, but he knew that Aunt Xian would not tell him this.
"I think my mother probably didn't know this until later," Nan Qing said.
"How dare I tell her that your mother is pregnant. At that time, your mother's temper was not very good. I thought it was because of her emotional instability due to pregnancy. Who knew that after you were born, I discovered that your mother had changed. Later, I realized that your mother had changed.
I found that your mother was getting more and more wrong, so I asked someone to investigate and found that the kind one was just your aunt, and your mother was just pretending. She didn't even let go of the maid next to her, what else can I say?"
Master Nan said.
"So, you brought that woman back." Nan Qing said.
Mr. Nan just nodded and did not continue. When Xia Ning was injured and recuperating in the medicine village, he liked to help others. Although he didn't know Ning'er's origins, he really fell in love with this enthusiastic woman.
He really didn't regret taking her back to his house at all. She was also very good to the servants in the house, and she never beat or scolded them even if they did something wrong.
Therefore, the servants naturally fell in love with this lady, which made Nan Qing's mother hate Ning'er even more.
But he really wanted to know where Ning'er was now and why Ning'er wanted to poison him.
"Father, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, Princess Pluto will not do anything to her. After the poison is removed, if she is not seriously ill, she will be sent back to Nan Mansion. When the time comes, you can ask her in person,
Then you will know why she wanted to poison you." Nan Qing asked.
"You..." Master Nan asked in confusion.
Master Nan was surprised that Nan Qing actually knew what he was thinking.
"Father, the matter is over, let's forget about it," Nan Qing said.
In fact, the reason why Nan Qing stopped caring was precisely because the woman did not tell her father about her mother poisoning her. If his father knew that his mother had poisoned her, his father would only hate that woman even more.
"Nan Qing, I know I am ashamed of your mother, but I really can't stand her pretentiousness," said the master of the Nan family.
"Father, don't worry, I know how you feel. By the way, Nian En knows that you are fine, so I asked him to go back to the medicine store," Nan Qing said.
"It's rare that Nian En is willing to work hard, but Madam has a way. What about you, are you willing to come back and help?" Master Nan said.
"If I didn't have to make medicine for you these days, I would have gone back a long time ago," Nan Qing said.
As soon as the Nan family master heard that Nan Qing was willing to go back, he laughed from ear to ear.
Early the next morning, Murong Xi went to Leng Mansion again. After checking Xia Ning's pulse, he said, "The matter has been clarified. I will have someone take you back later."
"Thank you, Princess Hades." Xia Ning said.
"Since you are Elder Lin's apprentice, you can also be considered a member of Poison Doctor Valley. Elder Lin's matter is still under investigation. If he is at fault, he will definitely seek justice for you. However, I suggest you not to use those Gu insects in the secret room.
No more." Murong Xi said.
"I'll get rid of those Gu when I get back. However, I want to get my life Gu back, is that possible?" Xia Ning said.
Murong Xi handed her the jar containing the life poison, and after a few more instructions, left the yard.
When Ah Lan saw Murong Xi coming out, she asked, "Holy girl, what happened to that woman?"
"Her condition has improved a lot. I will arrange a carriage to send her back to Nanfu later. There are some things that she still needs to solve by herself. Of course, it is not inconvenient for me to participate in the affairs of Nanjia." Murong Xi said.
"My mother's illness is really thanks to the saint. If it weren't for the saint, my mother wouldn't be able to walk on earth." A Lan said.
"Remember, the medicine must be taken on time. She should not work too hard and must not make her too tired." Murong Xi instructed again.
"Yes." Alan said.
"Girl, did you enter the palace after you came back?" Master asked.
"Father already knew that we were back, so he asked Eunuch Nian to invite us into the palace. Originally we planned to enter the palace after the matter was resolved, but who knew that father couldn't wait any longer," Murong Xi said.
"You haven't been back for a long time. Of course he misses you. This time, it would be better to stay in Nanzhao before the child is born," the master said.
"Master is right. I don't plan to leave this time. After the baby is born, it will be too late to walk around." Murong Xi said.
"I plan to go to the villa to tell them the good news. Since you can't go back, I think they will definitely come over." The master said.
Murong Xi knew that the master was talking about Murong's only family, and she really missed them. She also didn't know how Murong Qian lived after getting married. It would be great if she could really see them this time.
