Chapter 98 You are really brave
Yang Zhenzhen snatched the invitation from Shen Zhi's hand and opened it. Her face changed immediately: "You, you are Yixiangjun? Impossible, how could Yixiangjun, who was personally appointed by the emperor, be a country woman?"
Shen Zhi looked at her and said sarcastically, "Don't you believe it? The eunuch Cao who announced the decree is still living in my house. Do you want to go and confirm it yourself?"
Yang Zhenzhen was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she stammered an apology: "I'm sorry, Yixiang Jun, I didn't know it was you, otherwise I wouldn't be so rude to you."
Shen Zhi snorted coldly, "It's a small matter to be so unreasonable to me, but I don't understand one thing. Why did you poison the snacks under the tree? You are so brave to murder General Song's daughter and me, the Yixiang Lord personally appointed by the emperor."
Everyone's face changed. Poisonous? They had eaten quite a bit just now.
Yang Zhenzhen was still in shock. How did she know that there was poison in it? Fortunately, there was only one plate of it. Shen Zhi and Song Rou both took a bite, and the plate of snacks was removed after they left.
Yang Zhenzhen adjusted her mood and said, "Mr. Yixiang, you are joking. How can these cakes be poisonous? So many sisters have eaten them and they are all fine. If you don't believe me, you can ask a doctor outside to come in and test for poison."
Shen Zhi expected Yang Zhenzhen to say this, and pointed to the table in the distance and said, "It's the cake on that table. Before us, another woman in a yellow jacket and skirt also ate a piece of cake. After we left, your maid took away the plate. This cake alone will not show any poison if tested. But if you eat it and then smell the fragrance of plum blossoms, you will vomit within a day. What's more terrible is that if you ask a doctor to come and check your pulse, he will find a floating pulse."
"Floating pulse? Doesn't that mean you're pregnant?" a woman exclaimed.
"Oh my god, isn't it you who she was talking about in the yellow jacket and skirt? Junjun, did you eat the cakes on the table just now?"
Zhou Junjun next to him turned pale and nodded randomly, saying, "What should I do? I didn't know the cake was poisonous. I only ate one piece." As he spoke, he was about to cry.
Yang Zhenzhen was really panicked this time. How did she know? This was the secret medicine of her mother's family.
"Zhenzhen, what on earth are you doing?" Yang Wantang asked.
Yang Zhenzhen stammered and couldn't explain what was going on, and finally just kept silent.
Shen Zhi didn't want to stay here any longer, so he said to Song Rou and Yang Wantang, "I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
Song Rou and Yang Wantang also glanced at Yang Zhenzhen and followed Shen Zhi.
The other women were frightened by the conversation and left one after another. Even Zhou Junjun went back to her mother crying.
Yang Zhenzhen fell to the ground as if all her strength had been drained away, her whole body trembling.
"Rou'er, I'll go home with you to see my uncle," Yang Wantang said, and then he got on the Song family's carriage.
The carriage drove all the way towards the Song Mansion.
"Second cousin, how did you know that there was something wrong with Yang Zhenzhen?" Song Rou dared to ask Yang Wantang only after the carriage had left the Yang Mansion.
Yang Wantang was stunned and replied awkwardly, "Eavesdropping." After a while, he said, "I only heard that she wanted to plot for you to be with her brother so that she could blackmail your uncle and make him marry her."
Song Rou was ashamed, "Her brother, isn't her brother a fool?"
Yang Wantang nodded, "It not only solved her brother's lifelong event, but also solved her own lifelong event. You don't know that she had a fiancé before, but the man died in an accident before they got married, and she became a widow. She has a reputation of being a husband-killer, so it's not easy for her to remarry. This time, my uncle came back, and he is handsome and elegant. The emperor even ordered to restore his official position, so she targeted him. It is rumored that her mother is from a tribe in western Hunan, and she should have a lot of unknown secret medicines. But if her plan succeeds, the relationship will be confusing."
Song Rou rolled her eyes at her, pulled Shen Zhi and said coquettishly: "Xiao Zhi, you are the lucky star of our family. You saved me again. I don't know how to thank you."
Shen Zhi smiled proudly and said, "Then pledge yourself to me."
The three of them laughed and joked in the carriage and soon arrived at the Song Mansion.
Shen Zhi said hello to them and drove his carriage back to Shitou Village.
In the side hall of the Song Mansion, Song Rou and Yang Wantang recounted in detail what had happened at today's plum blossom viewing banquet.
The more General Song listened, the gloomier his face became, and he felt sick inside. Yang Zhenzhen actually wanted to have evil thoughts about him and even dared to have evil thoughts about Rou'er. It seemed that the Yang family was living too comfortably.
Mrs. Song was even more frightened after hearing this. If the plot succeeded, the lives of her son and granddaughter would be ruined. Fortunately, there was the girl from the Shen family. This child was simply the lucky star of the Song family.
Song Che was even more angry and threatened to find someone to beat up the Yang family, but was stopped by Song Xun.
"Don't worry about this. I'm going to find Eunuch Cao." After saying that, Song Xun rode his horse to Shitou Village.
On this side, Zhou Junjun ran back home crying. Mrs. Zhou was entertaining her brother at home. Zhou Junjun's uncle was a sixth-rank official in Beijing, and he came back to visit his relatives during the Chinese New Year. Although the sixth-rank official in Beijing was not a high-ranking official, he was as important as the sky to these merchants.
Zhou Junjun cried and told the story of the plum blossom viewing banquet. After listening to it, Zhou's mother thought Shen Zhi was exaggerating. Where in the world is there such a strange medicine that will make you vomit after taking it, and can also diagnose a floating pulse? Isn't this nonsense? She also comforted Zhou Junjun not to think too much.
But he didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly. In less than half a minute, Zhou Junjun was vomiting uncontrollably.
Zhou's mother was so frightened that she quickly called the court doctor, who indeed diagnosed a floating pulse. Zhou's mother was horrified.
At this time, Zhou Junjun's uncle suddenly said, "Don't worry, sister. I have heard that in some tribes in western Hunan, there are all kinds of secret medicines. It is possible that they got the medicine from there."
Mrs. Zhou was stunned and said, "That's it, then Yang Zhenzhen's mother is from Xiangxi."
Zhou Junjun was still vomiting and there was no sign of stopping. Even after he had vomited out everything in his stomach, it still kept churning.
Mrs. Zhou asked the court doctor if there was any way to relieve her vomiting symptoms, but the doctor shook his head and said he had never seen such a case.
Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to ask the maid to take good care of her daughter, and she took her brother to the palace to seek justice and ask if there was an antidote.
After the guests left, Yang Zhenzhen went to her mother to discuss countermeasures. Yang's mother was called Eva, but she was just a little maid in the family of the tribal leader, and later she ran away secretly. On the way to escape, she met Yang's father. Eva lied that she was running away from marriage, and her stepmother found her an old man as a concubine, so she escaped under the cover of night. Seeing Eva's stunning appearance, Yang's father spent money to get a fake household registration with her, and then married her.
But after a few years, Yang's father got tired of Eva and took in several concubines. Eva now had no status in the Yang family. Now that Yang Zhenzhen had made a big fuss, Eva was also panicked.
