No one in the room spoke, but Mrs. Wen's face became increasingly bleak.
After a long time, she finally spoke first, "But what's wrong with this medicine?"
"Yeah." Banxia never talks much, and this half-sentence is almost her habit.
She pushed the medicine bowl onto the high table beside the bed, "After drinking this medicine, ordinary people may become weak for no apparent reason. If they are strong, they can just lie down for ten days and a half."
But for an elderly and sick person like the old lady, one dose of decoction will not affect her health, but her life will be in danger."
Yesterday, she was suddenly asked to serve the old lady, which made Qiao Yuyan suspicious.
According to Mrs. Wen's temperament, for such a happy event as the first marriage, she would want everyone in the house to gather around them.
Especially Qiao Yuyan, who has always been at odds with her, and then Wen Ruting's wedding banquet should also be dealt with as a sister-in-law.
But there was no arrangement for her, so someone must have said something while she was away.
She didn't have time to go into detail at that time, almost everyone was looking at her, so she could only accept it.
Otherwise, it is very likely that a group of people would knelt down and beg her. She didn't know that Mr. Wei could go that far. Mr. Zhou was used to being messy.
So I said first, let Mrs. Xu come over first.
After all, Ban Xia is here, no matter what happens, he can at least ensure that the old lady's condition is normal.
After thinking about it all night last night, she still couldn't figure out whose idea it was.
The biggest suspect is naturally Wei, but why did everyone else cooperate with her?
And Mrs. Zhou, if it were normal, seeing that she was not ordered to do anything, she would definitely feel that she had suffered a loss, and she would have come out to make a scene no matter what.
Why are you agreeing with such a proposal?
But the more this happened, the more she felt that there was something evil inside.
And the one who can make a fuss about it is naturally the old Mrs. Wen who is already ill.
If what happened today is really a setback for her, then is Mrs. Wen really sick herself, or is there something fishy about her illness?
Who knew that the bowl of medicine would happen before Banxia came.
What a coincidence, there was no one in the wing room.
It seems quite normal. After all, the people responsible for boiling the medicine are two little maids. The house has always been peaceful, and the medicine is given by the old lady. Who would have thought that someone would try to tamper with it.
Now that she is here, as the daughter-in-law, it is natural for her to give the medicine. When it happens later, she will not be able to wash away the responsibility.
Qiao Yuyan's eyes were heavy, but Mrs. Xu grabbed her hand, as if she was afraid of something, and pulled her forward, "Yan'er, what is going on? In your house..."
Her words brought the others back from the silence. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Old Mrs. Wen's lips, and she said helplessly: "My wife in law is laughing at this. Even I don't know about it."
I guess they are getting older. These people, although very filial on the surface, must have become impatient in their hearts. They are still hiding things from me outside!
I have always thought that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. These are all grandparents. Do I really need to take care of them and scold them? They have their own ideas, so this year, I have really been bearish.
I just want to put my hands down and let him pass by himself, who wants to..."
As I talked, I felt so sad that I couldn't help crying.
Mother Xin's face was even more indignant. She quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief and then turned to Qiao Yuyan, "Mrs. Six, you brought the doctor here. You must have noticed it a long time ago. In this case, this old slave is a fool."
Yes, I have only known how to serve our old lady in this life. I really don’t understand what happened today. Who did this?"
Qiao Yuyan's eyes fell on Old Mrs. Wen's face with some unbearability, and after a while she turned to Banxia, "You just checked the old lady's pulse. Is it true that the old lady's health is not good?"
"Well." Ban Xia had no expression on her face, she just told the truth, "It seems that there are indeed symptoms of taking chronic poisons, but they are very weak. If it weren't for my knowledge of Japanese medical skills,
Even with a little research, we probably can’t figure this out.”
"Japan?" This (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 658: Poisoned
The answer surprised everyone. Qiao Yuyan asked doubtfully, "My country is troubled by pirates and has closed all ports long ago. Why are there still things from Japan coming?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Xu said: "You! Fortunately, you grew up in Jiangzhou. Didn't your grandmother take you to Jiangsu and Zhejiang when you were a child?"
Seeing her confusion, Mrs. Xu realized it herself, "That's right, your grandmother has always regarded you as seriously as her eyes, and I'm afraid she won't take you away from home.
The imperial court has issued an order not to allow ships to be put into the sea, but in fact, if anything from the outside wants to come in and the stuff inside has to be sold, it all has to be transported by sea. The more the court prohibits it, the greater the profits will be. Naturally,
There are also those brave people who secretly smuggle and sell our Daqi silk porcelain in exchange for foreign goods."
"That's right," Ban Xia nodded, "Japan is not far away from us. Although they are located in a wilderness, they still have some things that are quite popular with the people of our dynasty.
At the beginning, my master told me that there is not much room for improvement in my medical skills. The most important thing is to travel more and see more, so I went out of my way to study many medicinal materials that I had never seen before.
A special kind of medicine that I have long been familiar with.
As for the old lady's medicine, I have only seen it in the south. This medicine is colorless and odorless. If you add it to a person's diet little by little, you won't notice it at all. But over time, people who take this medicine will...
It will slowly get weaker.
The symptoms are like those of some elderly people who are slowly losing weight. Of course, if the elderly take it, the effect of the medicine will be more obvious. If I hadn't tasted a very faint bitter taste from the old lady's blood, I would have
I’m not sure it’s this medicine.”
When it comes to Japan, it can only come from the south.
This made Qiao Yuyan have to doubt the Wei family.
She glanced at the old lady, and judging from her expression, she was probably thinking of the same thing as herself.
Banxia suddenly said: "But it's lucky. Although the old lady was hit by this medicine, fortunately she didn't take it for too long. Judging from the current situation, it will only take two or three months at most. As long as the treatment is proper, it can still be cured."
All the poison has been removed.”
Okay, this is becoming clearer and clearer.
Didn’t the second room come to us just two or three months ago?
The old lady suddenly turned to look at Banxia, her gaze was completely different from before, already with a hint of scrutiny, "Who are you?"
