Chapter 392
The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending
If Qin Zening was skeptical before he came, seeing Madam Suâs attitude the fifty percent possibility was now ninety-nine percent.
Gazing at Madam Su, his eyes were sharp and chilling.
Meanwhile, Madam Suâs eyes flickered as she raised her head abruptly and firmly started to chase them away again. âQin Zening, you have already separated from the family, the marquis canât allow you to be in charge of the house! Bringing all cats and dogs into the Marquis mansion!â
âSomeone, donât let me drive them all out!â
Madam Suâs voice became increasingly sharp, thinking it would be best for Imperial Physician Xu to fly into a rage, shake his sleeves, and leave.
However, Imperial Physician Xu looked calm and relaxed as he greeted Madam Su. âThis old man has been friends with the late marquis for many years, so when I heard that Old Madam Qin was sick, for the sake of old friendship I came to check up on the old madam.â
Imperial Physician Xu quickly walked towards Old Madam Qin who was on the babu bed. The maidservants who were with Madam Su looked at her and tried to stop Imperial Physician Xu but Qin Zening was still here!
He casually swung his sword slashing the wind, and the silver sword light flashed, chopping the corner of a small square table almost like tofu.
âThud!â
The fist-sized piece of wood just fell to the ground and rolled out in a bone-crunching motion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qin Zening didnât say a word, but the meaning was very clear. If anyone dares to rush up would end up like this!
The maidservants didnât think their arms would be harder than this wood, and all swallowed in panic as they looked at each other. They were all servants of the Marquis Mansion, and their deeds were held in the hands of their master, but today, let alone the fact of chopping off their arms, even if they were beaten to death they would have died in vain!
The maidservants were all frightened and dared not go forward.
Madam Su was also afraid, her pupils sharply narrowed wanting to personally go forward but this time Qin Jiu stopped Madam Su and calmly said. âSecond Aunt, donât be anxious, Imperial Physician Xu will soon check grandmaâs pulse.â
Qin Jiu said these meaningfully.
Thus, like an ant on a hot pot, Madam Su could only stare blankly at Imperial Physician Xu as her body slightly trembled, and cold sweat dripped down her face.
After a while, Imperial Physician Xu put away the three fingers of his right hand, opened the medicine box, took out a few silver needles from it, he then slightly roasted the tip of the needle with the candle, and then pricked several large acupoints on Old Madam Qin before getting up.
Qin Zeyu hurriedly asked, âImperial Physician Xu, how is my grandmother?â
Everyoneâs eyes burned down on Imperial Physician Xu, on the other hand, Madam Suâs back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Imperial Physician Xu turned his head and said, âOld Madam must have eaten something badâ¦â
Immediately Madam Su rushed and said, âMother is getting old, and her stomach would inevitably also feel uncomfortable.â
âSecond Aunt, it turns out that your medical skills are even better than Imperial Physician Xuâs!â Qin Zening cast a frosty glance at Madam Suâs face before looking at Imperial Physician Xu again and cupping his hand, âImperial Physician Xu, dare I ask what bad thing my grandmother has eaten?â
âJudging from Old Madamâs pulse, as well as the abdominal pain, convulsions, and other symptoms, it is likely that she has mistakenly taken a toadstool.â Imperial Physician Xu added, âOld Madam is old and not young anymore, the toxins have damaged her organs quite a lot â¦â¦â
The so-called toadstool refers to a poisonous mushroom.
Cui momo
, Ning momo, and others expressions changed greatly as they all think of what Old Madam had for tonightâs dinner.
ââ¦â¦â Madam Suâs face turned blue.
âGrandmother was the only person who âmistakenlyâ took the poisonous mushroom? I think someone deliberately poisoned her.â Qin Zening looked at Madam Su and continued but his words were directed to Qin Zeyu. âAâyu, report to the magistrate!â
âYou dare!â Madam Su almost jump up and offhandedly rebuked him.
However, at this time Qin Jiu steps closer to Madam Su and stared at her with her big eyes and unblinkingly asked, âSecond Aunt, what are you afraid of? Grandmother was poisoned, so isnât it right to report it to the officialsâ¦â
âWho said Iâm afraid!â Madam Su subconsciously increased her volume as her mind was confused to the point of numbness, âThe marquis has a lot going on lately, donât bother the officials with such trivial matters.â
âI see, then perhaps the poisonous mushrooms were accidentally mixed into the vegetables purchased by the kitchen personnelâ¦â
Madam Su had a tough attitude at first but as she speaks her tone softened and her posture lowered, âNingâer, there is a saying that family shame should not be exposed outside, itâs a tumultuous time now, so donât make trouble.â
However, Qin Zeyu simply didnât listen to her and directly ran out of the mansion. Since his brother said report, then he should report it to the officials.
âYuâer!â Madam Su tremblingly shouted, trying to call out Qin Zeyu, looking completely panicked.
Qin Zening ignored Madam Su for now and took a deep breath before asking Imperial Physician Xu, âImperial Physician Xu, is possible to save grandma?â
Imperial Physician Xu smoothed out his goatee and pondered. âThis old man just applied acupuncture to temporarily stabilize Old Madam Qinâs condition. If you want to treat her, I have to prescribe induced vomiting to Old Madam then supplement her again with acupuncture and let her take decoction to get rid of the poison slowly, itâs just that Old Madam Qin is already old, and this is somewhat dangerousâ¦â Meaning, he was not sure whether Old Madam Qin could survive.
Qin Zening solemnly bowed to Imperial Physician Xu and said, âTrouble Imperial Physician Xu to save my grandmother!â
Since he was already here, Imperial Physician would naturally treat Old Madam so after responding to Qin Zening he immediately prescribes inducing drug.
Cui momo hurriedly took the prescription to start the medication.
