"We didn't do anything, we just went to see our brother and came back after seeing him." Ju'er said quickly before his brother could speak.
Zhao'er also nodded: "We put a jelly bean in the milk and came back."
I don't know who made the "hiss" sound.
Lady Yue's face turned pale at this moment, and she quickly ran over and pulled the two children behind her: "Master Marquis, how can you take what the children say seriously? They are just here to see the young prince and have nothing to do with the poisoning."
Xibohou slowly stood up and stared at Lady Yue: "It has nothing to do with it? Really?"
He walked to the table and picked up the bowl of milk: "You are just adding jelly beans to this, right?"
Then, he handed the bowl to Lady Yue: "Then let the two of them take a sip each."
The words were cruel, but no one went back to blame him at this moment.
Who would have thought that they were taken in with good intentions, but now they are raising tigers and causing trouble.
Now these two children dare to murder the prince in the mansion when they are only a few years old. Who knows what they will do for the sake of the prince's position when they grow up.
Brothers can fight over the family property, let alone those with foreign surnames who are not related by blood.
Lady Yue shook her head and said, "Master Hou, these two children were frightened. They really have nothing to do with this matter. Don't listen to what others say."
"Others, I'm afraid Xibohou is just another person in the eyes of you, mother and son, that's why you are so impatient to become a family with him." Hua Yanxi added coolly from the side.
There are always some people in this world who are self-righteous.
He gave them three meals a day, food and clothing, and a roof to protect them from the wind and rain. Not only was he ungrateful, but he even tried to take his place in the house.
Because of Hua Yanxi's words, many people around him started talking.
"This woman is really cruel. She actually instigated these two children to do such a thing. The children are simple-minded. They don't know what they will become when they grow up."
"The young prince escaped by luck this time, but I'm afraid his life will be in danger in the future."
"Isn't this old lady knowing? She doesn't want her own grandson to nourish the blood of outsiders with iron lungs."
Xibohou ignored these comments and kept his eyes fixed on the woman in front of him: "If they really have nothing to do with each other and really don't know what this is, then what are you afraid of and what are you hiding from?"
Xibohou is not a fool, as he has found out after this experiment.
Maybe the younger child really didn't know that the jelly beans were poison, but the older one definitely knew everything beforehand.
"Since you refuse to admit it until death, then report it to the officials. Someone will come and take them to Shuntian Mansion." Xibohou placed the bowl heavily on the table.
The servants stepped forward one after another, grabbed the mother and son, and pulled them out.
"Master Hou, I was wronged, I was wronged."
"Let me go, let go of your mother!"
"Uncle, I won't leave, I won't leave, I don't want to leave here."
The noise from the mother and son woke up the old lady who was unconscious on the chair and no one cared about her.
When the old lady saw the situation, she immediately rushed up and pushed the servant away. Because of her status, the servant did not dare to drag her by force.
"What are you doing! For the sake of dead people, you have to drive them away. Do you have the heart to do so?" the old lady said in an evil tone.
At this moment, Xibohou also had some doubts about the old lady: "Mom, did you know in advance that she ordered the child to poison the milk?"
When the old lady heard this, she looked at Yueniang and then at her son: "What are you talking about, they were the ones responsible for the poison?"
"Zhao'er has already admitted that he was the one who planted the thing. The doctor didn't find any jelly beans in it at all. What was in it was poison!"
"How is that possible? Zhao'er?" The old lady looked at Zhao'er. Zhao'er already knew that he had said the wrong thing. He lowered his head and hid behind his mother and brother, not daring to look at anyone.
The servants tried to pull him away again, but the old lady stared at them.
"Mom, are you stupid? You still want to defend them." Xibohou said sadly.
The old lady muttered: "Isn't my grandson okay?"
Although his voice was low, Xibohou, who was very close, suddenly laughed, and his already sad face became even more weathered.
"I thought too much, and actually thought that you would have a little bit of conscience after knowing what they did. You are so tolerant to an outsider, but you are full of hostility towards Yan'er alone. I actually imagined that you two could settle the old feud.
The family can be harmonious and beautiful. If I had known this, I should not have taken you back, and Yan'er would not have died."
After saying that, Xibohou's expression changed and he ordered again: "Take these three people to see the officials. In addition, quickly send the old lady back to the countryside to retire, and find someone to keep an eye on her."
The old lady's eyes widened in shock.
Send her back to the countryside instead of her hometown.
That countryside was her nightmare. Ever since she followed the old man out, she never wanted to go back.
She couldn't get used to it and didn't want to stay.
This isn't a pension, it's clearly meant to force her to death.
However, Xibohou was already fully determined.
The old lady started kicking and biting her again. This time, Hua Yanxi gave her a shot directly. This shot was enough for her to sleep in the countryside.
As for how she cries after waking up, that's none of her business.
Mrs. Yue was not a hard-nosed person. Before she could see the official, she saw that the old lady was being treated like this. She still became tough. She was afraid and said anything.
The farce came to an end. Looking at Xibohou, everyone sympathized and sighed.
It was a good full moon banquet, but it turned out like this, which made people cry.
At this moment, a servant came to report: "Master, my wife is awake."
The crowd was in an uproar again.
woke up?
Is this a fake corpse?
When Xibohou heard this, his body instinctively ran towards the backyard. No matter Yan'er was a human or a ghost, he wanted to see her.
Hua Yanxi looked at the dumbfounded doctor on the side: "I didn't hear that Madam is awake, why don't you go and have a look quickly?"
The doctor hesitated: "Madam, it's not..."
"After removing the poison, you are weak and may still have the sequelae of dizziness and weakness. Just go and prescribe a supplement." Hua Yanxi said calmly.
Ye Juechen asked what everyone was thinking: "Isn't Mrs. Xibohou dead?"
Hua Yanxi looked at him and raised her eyebrows: "When did I say she was dead?"
"Then just now..." Ye Juechen sounded in a daze. After Hua Yanxi entered the door, he only said that his wife had been poisoned, but did not say that she was dead. Instead, they were just making up their mind.
He was poisoned but could still be saved. Is Hua Yanxi's medical skills so advanced?
"It's just the old lady who thinks so. The amount of poison they administered was slight. If the young prince really took it, he would have died instantly. Madam is lucky this time, because she drank some medicine before that can delay the onset of the poison."
The following words are of course an excuse.
Hua Yanxi said this, firstly, to prevent some people from being too holy and thinking that since there were no casualties, they should be handled with care.
Secondly, it is also because of the crime of holding a jade. If it is known that she can even cure poisons, there may be much trouble.
Everyone suddenly realized it, and their mouths were full of joy, but they really had no words to plead for the old lady. Maybe they were disgusted by what the old lady said before.
As for Lady Yue, she is just a person with no background. Naturally, it is impossible for them to excuse her.
