"Madam, the eldest lady from Xifu is here to deliver something to you!"

In order not to disturb Mr. Zheng Si who was in the main room, Mrs. Zheng Si talked to Xu Shu in the wing room. After hearing Jin Ling's words, she asked someone to bring the things.

"Come in! Since that imperial edict, your aunt from the West Mansion has sent things several times, probably because she is apologizing for the previous matter!"

Before, Chen secretly indulged the old lady's arrangement for Zheng Wanying, and an imperial edict interrupted the old lady's plan. Of course, Chen also knew that Mrs. Zheng Si had noticed her intentions, but before, Chen thought that the old lady's plan might be successful, so she didn't take this seriously. But now things are reversed, and Chen's little thoughts can no longer be realized. In order to repair the relationship with Mrs. Zheng Si, she sent things several times.

Xu Shu looked at it and found that it was all about peach glue and glutinous rice. I think so, so I have sent it several times, so it is impossible that they are all very expensive things.

Mrs. Zheng Si didn't care too much, so she asked someone to put away the things and continued to talk about Mr. Zheng Si's injury, "What's the point of harming the master? Who sent the child? The capital is so big, it's impossible to confirm it one by one!"

Xu Shu also knew that the clue was cut off here and could not continue to investigate. She could only remind Mrs. Zheng Si, "Fortunately, my father is recuperating at home now and will not go out for the time being, and there is no need to worry that anyone will continue to persecute him!"

"Yes, it seems that the master will pay special attention to his visit in the future!" Mrs. Zheng Si sighed and decided to arrange a few more entourages for Mr. Zheng Si in the future.

I thought this matter could come to an end for the time being, but I didn't expect that the next day, Mrs. Zheng Si became ill, vomited and had diarrhea, which scared Xu Shu. Fortunately, after Mr. Qin saw it, he said that it was caused by improper diet and it was not a serious problem.

Xu Shu's first reaction to getting the news was related to the incident of Mr. Zheng Si falling off the horse yesterday. She rushed over and happened to meet Mr. Qin who had finished the pulse. "Mr. Qin, how about my mother?"

"Come with me!" Mr. Qin started to move Xu Shu away and said, "Mrs. Zheng Si was poisoned!"

"Poison?" Xu Shu was shocked! Yesterday was Mr. Zheng Si, who was outside, and it was easy to succeed if he wanted to do it. Today was Mrs. Zheng Si, but in the mansion, how did he do it?

"Yeah!" Mr. Qin nodded, "It was indeed poisoned by someone, but it was not a fatal poison, it was just an ordinary laxative! But seeing Mrs. Zheng Si's expression, she did not realize that she was poisoned. She just thought it was because of improper diet, so I didn't tell her. I planned to turn back and tell you, and there was no big fanfare in search of the poison. After all, Mrs. Zheng Si was injured unexpectedly yesterday. If Mrs. Zheng Si also encountered an accident today, it would cause panic, so it would not be advisable!"

"Thank you Mr. Qin!" Mr. Qin was indeed very worried. Mr. Zheng Si and his wife were injured one after another. Is it her turn next?

"Yes!" Mr. Qin walked away with his arms.

Xu Shu did not go in directly to visit Mrs. Zheng Si, but called Jin Ling over and asked, "What did the dinner lady eat this morning?"

"Just like what I usually eat, my wife ate a bowl of rice porridge, a small plate of pickled bamboo shoots, and two kidney bean rolls!" Jin Ling was the most valued by Mrs. Zheng Si, and she usually served Mrs. Zheng Si for meals.

"That's all?"

"That's all..." Jin Ling thought about it again, "There are chestnut cakes! Yesterday, the eldest lady of Xifu sent fresh chestnuts, and today I made chestnut cakes in the kitchen, but the lady only took one bite and found it too sweet, so she didn't eat it!"

"Where is the breakfast that my mother hasn't finished?"

"The remaining soup after the lady used up her breakfast has been disposed of..."

"Go and bring all the ingredients that my mother had eaten this morning!"

Jin Ling quickly brought all the ingredients that Mrs. Zheng Si had eaten in the morning, "It's all here!"

Xu Shu reached her hand on her head and wanted to pull out a silver hairpin and try poison. When her hand touched her hair bun, she remembered that she was still mourning for Xu Hui, and there was no hairpin ornament on her head. Lu He hurriedly handed over her silver needle, "Give it, Miss!"

Xu Shu used a silver needle to identify the ingredients. Finally, when the chestnut was pierced, the silver needle turned black. The chestnut was sent by Chen, the eldest wife of the Western Palace yesterday. Xu Shu's face became heavier...

"This... this is..." Jin Ling was also startled when she looked at the blackened silver needle. She still knew the reason why the silver needle would turn black when it encountered poison. Now the silver needle has turned black, which means that there is poison in the chestnut...

"It's not because of the improper diet, but because of the poisoning!"

Xu Shu nodded, "Who sent the things from Xifu yesterday? Whose hands passed by him afterwards?"

Jin Ling said, "The eldest lady of the Western Palace always delivers things from the morning dew around the eldest lady. Then the things are counted and registered in the warehouse. When you need to use them, go to the warehouse to pick them up. The breakfast is also made by Biyun watching the cook!"

Chen Lu is Chen's confidant, and Jin Ling is Mrs. Zheng Si's confidant. The actions of these two people almost represent the intention of their master...

"So this poison shouldn't be added by others..."

The person who poisoned it should be the eldest lady of the Xifu. Jin Ling was even more shocked when she figured this out, "Then... was it... the eldest lady of the Xifu made it? But why? The lady has always cared about the eldest lady. It was because it was the ingredients sent by the eldest lady that the servants did not doubt it, so that the lady..."

"This matter... don't tell your mother first, so as not to worry about it, which is not conducive to physical recovery. Take good care of your mother these days. You must carefully check all the food you enter and then take it to your mother. Don't let him approach her if you have any eyes!"

"yes!"

As soon as Mr. Zheng Si had an accident, Mrs. Zheng Si followed her. Xu Shu didn't think it was a coincidence. Since Mrs. Zheng Si's affairs were a murderous move by Chen, then Mr. Zheng Si's affairs were probably the ones that Mr. Zheng Si had taken action.

And although I asked about the people around me yesterday, the Xifu, as a member of the Zheng family, was not within the scope of the inquiry...

But why did Chen do this? Chen and Mrs. Zheng Si should be without grudges and grudges, and what are the benefits of doing this?

However, no matter what Chen's motive and purpose were, all the suspicions were pointed at Chen. Xu Shu thought for a while and ordered, "Jin Ling, you asked the cook to make all the remaining chestnuts into chestnut cakes, and then send them to the Western Palace to the eldest lady. She said that I think the chestnut cake tastes very good, and I made it for her to respect her!"
