EBE Chapter 380 Two People Poisoned
Chapter 380 Two People Poisoned
"Okay, okay, Grandma will drink, Grandma will drink."
Lady Hou quickly accepted the soup Xie Siyuan offered, her eyes filled with gratitude and satisfaction.
This was the first time Xie Siyuan had taken the initiative to serve her a meal and show her such care since returning to Beijing from the border.
He's really grown up now!
Ah, I'm sure Chongzhi's spirit in heaven would be comforted to see this.
Siyuan is getting better and better!
They're no less than those little bastards Xie Yanli raised!
When Siyuan grows up, he will definitely be better than them!
Lady Hou immediately picked up the soup spoon and took a big gulp.
"Mmm, delicious!" she exclaimed immediately.
Xie Siyuan looked at her with a deep gaze, his voice containing a faint smile.
"If it tastes good, drink more."
If Lady Hou really cared for him, she would send someone to bring him back from the estate!
But she didn't!
She watched helplessly as he suffered terribly on the estate!
He has to act obedient and pitiful before they'll treat him well!
She deserves to die! She deserves to die!
Lady Hou nodded, picked up the spoon, and took another sip.
The thought that her beloved grandson had personally brought it to her filled her with emotion.
They drank more and more.
Xie Siyuan turned his gaze to Lord Xie and said softly, "Grandfather, why don't you have a drink too?"
He handed over the soup bowl with a respectful expression.
But deep down, he was already filled with resentment.
It was this old geezer who insisted on sending him to the village!
Everyone else is going to die!
Lord Xie took the soup bowl and looked at Xie Siyuan, who had his eyes downcast, and felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
Great, Siyuan is becoming more and more sensible.
If he had been this sensible earlier, how could he not have loved him?
He's definitely my grandson! And the eldest grandson at that!
No matter how good others are, you can't surpass them!
Lord Xie stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon and slowly took a sip.
Seeing that he had drunk it, Xie Siyuan's lips curved slightly.
Standing to the side, watching Xie Siyuan respectfully serve the Lady of the Marquis and Lord Xie, Kang Mama couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
This is true family bliss!
My wife has been having a really tough time lately.
First, she lost her son, and then her third daughter got married, but her husband's family was not satisfied.
Fortunately, the young master is back now, and he has become so sensible and well-behaved!
From now on, the lady's good days are coming!
However, just as she was sighing...
The Lady Hou, who was drinking sweet soup, suddenly trembled and her face turned pale.
Then it fell straight down onto the table.
Granny Kang's pupils contracted, and she quickly stepped forward to support her: "Madam!"
"Madam, Madam, what's wrong?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lord Xie, who was standing next to her, also began to vomit violently.
The entire main courtyard immediately descended into chaos, with maids running around in a panic, frantically trying to summon the royal physician.
Granny Kang was filled with fear.
Having lived in the inner quarters for many years, she could almost immediately tell that this was no ordinary fainting spell!
It's more likely poisoning!
She hurriedly shouted, "No need for the palace physician! Quickly! Go and fetch the imperial physician! Quickly!"
Qinglan Courtyard.
A maid rushed over and knelt before Qin Jiuwei to report.
"Young Madam, something has happened in the main courtyard! The Marquis and his wife have both... have suddenly fainted! It looks like they've been poisoned!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiuwei suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with astonishment.
"what?"
She quickly stood up and, without saying a word, strode towards the main courtyard.
Before I even got close, I saw that the main courtyard was brightly lit and bustling with noise.
Several imperial physicians and physicians from the local government were busy going in and out of the courtyard.
It was a mess.
Lady Hou and Lord Xie were each led to their respective beds.
Both of them were pale.
"What happened?" she asked in a low voice, her gaze falling on the imperial physician beside her.
"Reporting to the Lady, it seems that you and the Marquis have been poisoned, but the exact nature of the poison has not yet been determined. We are currently treating them, but... the situation is not optimistic."
Qin Jiuwei nodded.
Soon, Xie Wanning rushed back to the main courtyard, her face pale and her eyes vacant.
Her clothes were a little disheveled, and her hair was loose over her shoulders.
They clearly rushed over.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Madam Hou on the bed and staggered toward the bedside.
"Mother! Mother!" she cried out in a trembling voice.
Xie Wanning knelt down in front of the bed, tightly grasping the hands of the Lady Hou, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Her mother is now the only person she can rely on!
She's the only one in the entire Xie family willing to stand by her side! She can't afford to get hurt!
The Li family treated her so badly, she's still waiting for her mother to stand up for her!
Xie Wanning's cries were heart-wrenching, and she kept pleading in a low voice.
Qin Jiuwei looked at her for a while, then turned her head and caught sight of Xie Siyuan.
He stood at the doorway, head bowed, hands clasped together, lips trembling slightly.
His expression looked both innocent and frightened.
But in reality, a cold smile was hidden deep in his eyes, and he was secretly pleased with himself.
Ha, two more killed.
Killing someone isn't that hard, is it?
-
Xie Yanli strode into the main courtyard and saw Qin Jiuwei there.
She stood in front of the hall, her back to the main house, her face cold and aloof.
"Who made this soup, and whose hands did it pass through? Tell me the truth, one by one."
Qin Jiuwei's voice was not loud, but it was very clear and carried a sense of pressure.
The maids and servants who were asked the question looked at each other, their foreheads covered in cold sweat.
An elderly woman replied in a trembling voice, "Madam, it was Granny Liu from the small kitchen who made the soup. After Granny Liu finished cooking, she handed it over to Granny Wang."
Granny Liu and Granny Wang then stepped forward to reply.
Granny Wang's voice trembled as she knelt on the ground and whispered, "Young mistress, this soup was indeed served by this old servant and was going to be delivered to the main room. But then the young master suddenly came and said he wanted to deliver it himself."
"I thought the young master was filial, so I didn't think much of it and gave him the tray."
Granny Wang's voice grew softer and softer as she lowered her head, no longer daring to speak.
Qin Jiuwei's face immediately darkened.
Xie Siyuan...
This matter is also related to Xie Siyuan.
