The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 524

The old woman was about to freak out with fear, but after hearing this handsome and elegant man speak in a kind manner, she calmed down.

"I dare not lie to you again, my dear five-year-old grandson will die outside." She cursed fiercely and shook her head. "When I sent it to the young lady, no one touched it except me. Besides, this pot of tea was sent to our old lady on the high table where she watched the opera. It's okay if she drank it."

Huang Zhi gave a look, and the second manager reacted immediately and sent someone out to see the old lady.

Inside the house, Pei An was quite patient. After listening to the old woman's words, he thought for a moment and asked, "Which young lady should I send it to?"

The old woman shook her head.

"I have never seen that young lady, but she looks either rich or noble."

Nonsense, are there any poor young ladies here today?

"Do you remember what clothes she wore, or how her hair was combed?" After hearing Pei An's patient guidance, the old woman gradually became less afraid. She thought about it over and over again, and then said, "The young lady was probably about 27 or 28 years old. I heard that our second young lady called her the eldest young lady. There were two maids beside her. Oh, that's right! The young lady was wearing that grass green satin brocade dress."

Grass green?

There are many female relatives today, and Huang Zhi was at a loss for a moment. What's more, the grass green color mentioned by the old woman was very vague. Among the female relatives and maids, quite a few were wearing green today.

Huang Zhi pondered for a moment, and whispered to Pei An, "Silang, wait a moment. I'll send someone to invite my cousin over. My cousin has a special ability, which is to remember everything she sees. Today, she and my second sister-in-law are entertaining guests, so I'm afraid she can remember something."

Pei An nodded when he heard this.

Doctor Lin saw this and didn't want to get involved too much, so he left on the pretext of worrying about the safety of the two maids. The second steward saw the old woman and said something, then he and the guards carried her to the door and made her kneel, leaving Huang Zhi and Pei An in the room.

Pei An bowed and told the truth.

"I'm sure Sanlang has heard something about the incident at Long'en Temple, right?"

Huang Zhi nodded, "It was widely reported a few days ago, even the emperor was alarmed, my father was also involved and mentioned some details, I heard that your wife is fine, so I didn't ask Silang more today."

"To be honest, the thief did go after my wife. My wife escaped by luck, but his whereabouts are unknown. The Queen Mother of the East Palace has always loved my wife. When she heard that the thief was still at large, she was afraid that my wife would be targeted at the banquet today, so she sent two palace maids who knew some martial arts to my wife's side. So..., I guess that the thief from Longen Temple has sneaked into your house again."

Huang Zhi was greatly shocked when he heard this.

"Madam, you are always so kind, yet someone is targeting you!"

I thought it was an accident——

Pei An suppressed his anger and nodded, saying, "Although I don't know what grudge the villain has, the assassination process in Longen Temple is extremely dangerous and rare in my life. Therefore, seeing that my wife is still alive, the villain will definitely not give up, so I am much more careful today. Now that the little maid next to Miss Baoyue has been poisoned, I don't know if it is a coincidence or a mistake..."

When Huang Zhi heard this, he nodded immediately.

"Don't worry, Silang. Even if I don't eat today, I will definitely find out the truth. Doctor Lin is a great doctor, and I will definitely believe what he said, so this must be something the thief did deliberately!"

At this point, he sneered, "Whether he is coming for your Madam or not, this thief is too arrogant!"

Pei An bowed and thanked him, but he had already made up his mind.

He went out to call the second steward of the Huang Mansion and asked him to send someone to look for his servant Alu. After a while, Alu was not found, but Chun Ge followed him. As soon as he saw him, he ran over and said, "Fourth Master, the Second Master asked me to look for you. Go and have dinner quickly."

"Where's your brother, Aru?"

Chun Ge shook his head, "Fourth Master, isn't Aru following you?"

"He was called away by Yuyan."

"Then Fourth Young Master, why don't you go eat first while I go look for Alugo." Chun Ge was about to leave, but Pei An stopped him, "No need to go, you can go too, since you are small anyway. Go to the women's quarters and call Jin Die or Yu Yan over. Remember not to alarm others, especially the young mistress."

Seeing that the Fourth Young Master was very serious, Chun Ge did not dare to smile at this moment, and only asked in a low voice, "If the Second Young Master asks, I will say or -"

"If he asks, bring him here. Saburo and I won't be leaving for a while."

After Chun Ge left, Huang Zhi began to wonder, "Does Xi Hui know something about this matter?"

Pei An nodded and said, "He and my wife are good friends, like brother and sister. When we went to Longen Temple last time, Erlang and I went there together."

As soon as he asked the question, Huang Zhi already had the answer in his mind.

If she didn't know, how could it be possible that the maid of the East Palace was in front of the Fourth Young Master's wife... At this moment, he was filled with rage. In this bright and prosperous world, how could this villain be so arrogant and domineering?

Not long after, Mu Yunzhi brought Zhulan and the servant to the outside of the courtyard. Before they could report, Huang Zhi went to greet them personally, "Cousin, please come into the room and talk."

Mu Yunzhi was completely confused. Not to mention that the maid quietly called her down from the main table, as soon as she walked out the door, the guard in front of the second steward came up to her and reported, "Cousin, the third young master wants you to come to Fengxi Pavilion."

"My cousin called me?"

The guard looked unfamiliar, but he was wearing the uniform of the Huang Mansion. "Human lives are at stake. Please don't hesitate, my cousin. The Third Young Master and the Fourth Young Master of the Pei Family are waiting at Fengxi Pavilion. Please move over, my cousin."

Hearing this, Mu Yunzhi was filled with doubts.

She exchanged a glance with Zhulan, lifted her skirt and followed the guards towards the kitchen. Mu Yunzhi did not ask many questions along the way. It was not until they arrived at Fengxi Pavilion that she realized something was wrong.

Everyone had a look of fear on their faces. The second steward was giving a lecture. Uncle Sanmaozi in the kitchen also got angry and followed the second steward and said, "Everyone, think about it quickly. Today's banquet at the mansion is also a gift from the master and the mistress. If you remember the villain or have any unfamiliar face, tell the second steward quickly."

The food was being served inside. Uncle Sanmaozi was ordering people to serve the dishes while carefully checking the dishes.

Seeing this, Mu Yunzhi could no longer hide the truth on her face, and the guard whispered, "Cousin, someone poisoned the tea. Among the singing girls, a maid was poisoned. If Doctor Lin hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid her life would be in danger."

what?

No matter how calm Mu Yunzhi was, she was still shocked when she heard these words!

"really?"

She couldn't believe that someone dared to do something rash at the Huang family's birthday banquet. Poison! Poison! It was really cruel. The guests who came today were either rich or noble. If something really happened, how could the Huang family afford it?
