Chapter 196: It turns out that they were going to poison
The maids received the order and stepped forward, regardless of the fact that they were in public, to check on Concubine Fu's injuries.
Fu Er, who was pretending to be unconscious, could not bear such humiliation.
She screamed "Ah!" and stopped pretending to faint.
He covered his chest which was in unbearable pain and started to curse loudly.
"Get out of here, you bunch of dogs and slaves, take away your dirty and vile paws."
At this time, the frightened maidservant of Concubine Fu also woke up and threw herself in front of her master.
"You are not allowed to bully my aunt."
After saying this, regardless of the fact that Concubine Fu's wounds were still bleeding, the master and servant hugged each other and burst into tears.
The two old women didn't care about the two people's hypocrisy and pulled the little maid away.
"Bah! Get out of the way and don't get in the way here."
As soon as he saw the torn clothes and bloodstains on Concubine Fu's chest, he guessed that she was not seriously injured after being hit by the rough sea, so he picked her up and walked to the hall without saying a word.
*
Steward Zhang at the side also heaved a sigh of relief, while Captain Wang, with a sullen face, clasped his fists and said to Steward Zhang,
"Excuse me, butler Zhang. Since the lady is here, let's go into the hall and tell her in person if you have anything to say!"
Butler Zhang was in a dilemma, knowing that Captain Wang knew that since he had seen the beginning of this matter, he would have to see the end.
Hey! He really couldn't agree with the complicated thoughts of these officials!
*
in the hall,
At first, Madam Wang Wang Yuxuan felt a little reluctant to see the bloodstains on Concubine Fu's chest, and wanted to ask the maid to apply medicine to her first.
But he didn't expect that this person really relied on the fact that he was sent in by Captain Wang's superiors, and cried fearlessly,
"Madam, you don't have to be hypocritical. If you are really magnanimous, you should arrange for me to serve you.
Fu Er knows that she is of low status and dare not ask you for help. But look at how many years Fu Er has been here? How many years of her youth can a woman be ignored? How many years of her youth can she be abused?
Wuuuu..., if the servant in the mansion had not spoken the truth today, Fu'er would still be kept in the dark, foolishly waiting for the lady to have mercy on him one day.
"I hope you can show mercy and let the adults give Fu'er a child to rely on until the end of her life. But, but? Wuwuwu..."
Concubine Fu cried and couldn't continue.
"Shut up, you say it?"
Captain Wang got fed up with what he heard and pointed at her maid and shouted angrily.
After some questioning, it turned out that Concubine Fu was strolling in front of the pharmaceutical workshop in the backyard when she was dragged and scolded and humiliated by the steward who ran out from inside.
She couldn't bear it anymore and caused this scene.
*
"Send Wang Guangzi, the manager of the pharmaceutical workshop, over here."
"Yes, ma'am."
Before the messenger went out to call for help, Wang Guangzi, the manager of the pharmaceutical workshop, ran in breathlessly.
He panted heavily and fell to his knees with a plop, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down and cried out for justice.
"My Lord, Madam, I am a steward in the workshop. I strictly abide by the rules and prohibitions set by Madam.
Madam said that the quality of the pills is the top priority and no outsiders except those in the workshop are allowed to enter.
I am not afraid of offending Aunt Fu. Ask her what bad thing she did secretly just now? ! "
The young steward ran out of breath, and looked at Concubine Fu with fire in his eyes.
The concubine Fu, who was still kneeling on the ground crying and trying to gain sympathy, began to tremble all over and even tilted her body out of fear.
Everyone in the room seemed to notice something unusual.
*
"Go on!" Captain Wang shouted.
The young steward was so frightened that he shook his body, but he still said confidently,
"Yes, sir. Aunt Fu took advantage of us eating and asked her maid to cover us, saying that she wanted to add a dish to us, so she blocked our view.
In the blink of an eye, Aunt Fu sneaked into the workshop.
Fortunately, I was sharp-eyed, but I was still a step too late. She actually ran in and poisoned one of the medicine pots."
"what?"
"You said she went to poison?"
"What? Poisoning the medicine pot?"
The first two tones are from Captain Wang and his wife.
The last voice came from Butler Zhang. He had not expected that when he came to Wang's house, he would encounter such a shocking event.
The formula of that pill was the result of my wife's hard work working day and night to develop it!
*
The steward said hurriedly,
"Sir, Madam, don't panic. I have just cleaned up the pot of medicine that Aunt Fu had put croton in.
Otherwise, if patients took pills mixed with croton and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea or died, our reputation would be ruined.”
Mrs. Wang, who had already stood up from her chair out of shock and fear, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Turning around, Mrs. Wang saw that Fang Mansion's housekeeper Zhang was still there, and she couldn't help but explain embarrassedly,
"Butler Zhang, I didn't expect such a big mistake to happen today. I feel so sorry for Sister Qingge."
Butler Zhang bowed and said,
"Madam Wang, please don't worry. Fortunately, the steward Wang you chose was responsible! In the end, no disaster occurred."
"Yes! Wang Guangzi, you did a good job. This lady will reward you handsomely."
Mrs. Wang said, and under the persuasion of the maid, she slowly sat back on the chair. She signaled the head maid to hand Wang Guangzi a heavy purse.
The young steward quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and kowtowed,
"Madam, I almost failed the mission you entrusted me with. I dare not accept the reward."
"You deserve this."
Captain Wang made the final decision.
*
At this time, the concubine Fu on the ground felt terrified, but still screamed in a grievance.
"He's talking nonsense, wuwuwu... He's committing treason. Ask him what he did to me?
I did this because I was so angry that I wanted to scare him and vent my anger. Woohoo… I didn’t intend to kill anyone.”
Mrs. Wang was even more furious when she heard this. She had never expected that this concubine, who had always been well fed and well cared for by her and her husband, would refuse to repent and still quibble.
Then, Mrs. Wang said to the maid beside her,
"Give me a hard slap in the face."
"Yes, ma'am."
Immediately, the sound of slapping and screaming were heard in the hall.
A dozen slaps made Concubine Fu no longer dare to scream. Her slender body lay on the ground, whimpering pitifully.
*
Wang Guangzi, the young steward who was asked to stand up and speak, then explained,
"Your Excellency, Madam, Aunt Fu has been trying to sneak into the workshop lately.
I chased her and said, why don't you just stay in your own yard? Why do you come here and give orders?
She even came here to hang around for a few days.
Finally, I was so angry that I told her that she, a hen that doesn't lay eggs, should stop dreaming of being favored by adults. Don't you think about how many years she has been here? If she continues to waste time, she will be sold out when she is old and ugly!
Madam, I know I was wrong!
I shouldn't have provoked Aunt Fu by doing this."
