and started coughing again. 。Perhaps afraid of being disliked, she coughed and explained, "I... cough, cough, but I'm..." 。Everyone looked at him pitifully and urged him to 。Mrs. Xing, please don't...Chen Chuan kicked him away, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Li Lao'er ignored him and pulled the woman's mouth open, saying, "Tell me how you poisoned your old mistress!"

Poisoning

Everyone present gasped.

The midwife cried, tears and snot streaming down her face, and immediately started to cry for mercy.

It wasn't me, it wasn't me who killed the old lady!

It was the two old masters who found me and said they could help send my children to Luo'an Academy to study, ohhhh.

Our family has been serfs for generations. This generation finally produced a scholar, and we were able to redeem ourselves and become free men. I... I couldn't resist the pressure from the Second Master, so I agreed to his request.

The old master said that the powder, when put in the tea, would make the old madam sleep more soundly.

"I didn't know it was poison, that would make the old lady sleep directly!

"

"I'm innocent! I didn't mean to do it, I was tricked by the Second Master!"

Before she could finish, Madam Chen Er flew into a rage like a cat whose fur had been ruffled, jumping up and shouting.

"You lowly servant, how dare you slander your master Do you not want to live"

In Xindu, everyone knows that our Second Master is the most filial. Even the First and Third Masters can't compare to him.

"You can slander anyone, but you can't slander our master! You must have lost your mind!"

The midwife was questioned and became agitated, shouting directly.

"It's all a lie, a complete fabrication! The second master is not my biological son at all! How could he possibly be truly filial to his wife!"

My mother was a maidservant accompanying the old mistress, and Second Master was born under my mother's care!

"My mother said that when the second master was born, his biological mother died from excessive bleeding. He was then taken to be raised by the old mistress. People back then should all know this!"

The old lady was kind and raised the second master like her own son, and his name was also recorded in the family tree.

But Second Master...Second Master suddenly found me and asked me to give the Old Madam medicine. I was very surprised!

The Chen family was so shocked that their eyes were about to pop out!

I originally thought the Chen family was a rare good family, with harmonious brothers and happiness.

Who would have thought, there was such a big secret hidden here.

But Chen Chuan and Master Chen still couldn't believe it. After all, they had been brothers for so many years. While they were away on duty, their second younger brother was in charge of the household affairs. He had never caused them any trouble and always offered help when needed.

Even the second son, when he goes shopping, would bring back a box of good snacks to respect his elderly mother.

Summer is hot, and winter is cold. It takes great care to avoid the extremes of temperature.

As the old lady herself said, the most filial of her three sons was the second.

How is that possible

How could the second son have killed their mother!

"No, you're all talking nonsense! It's absolutely impossible that it was the second brother!" Chen Chuan's eyes were red with fury. He wanted to say that the Li family had bribed the servants and framed his second brother to bring shame upon their family.

But the Li family has already removed the hat of killing Chen He, there is no need to frame the second brother for killing their old mother.

Even if it's a false accusation, he should be the one being accused!

Old Master Chen also said, "That's impossible. Even if the second son wasn't born to his mother, he wouldn't harm her. He is the most filial!"

Li Laoer glanced at the two brothers with pity, then looked into the distance as people approached the village. He said, "The filial brothers you speak of have arrived. Ask them yourselves."

"If you don't pin Chen He's death on my family, we really don't want to get involved in your family's mess!"

The Chen family members looked unhappy, but they had no choice but to bear it with clenched teeth.

During this period, Chen Laoer had been kept at Zhang Shenyi's place.

Firstly, it's safe there. No one who goes in ever gets out.

Secondly, it's also about resource utilization. Old Chen has made many contributions to the prescription for quitting Fusheng Paste...

Unfortunately, Dr. Zhang was never a meticulous person.

Once the prescription was figured out, Old Chen was tossed aside.

Occasionally, when I remember, I'll throw in a steamed bun. When I don't remember, I'll go hungry for several days.

So, given a choice, Chen Lao Er would rather follow his family and swing his hoe!

At this moment, he was so thin that he looked like a human skeleton. His face was as pale as death. As soon as he saw the Chen family, he seemed to have seen a savior. He staggered forward and burst into tears.

"Big brother, third brother! Quickly get me some food, I'm starving to death!"

Having said that, he also noticed his daughter-in-law with sharp eyes, and was overjoyed.

"My lady, have you come to pick me up Can we go home now"

Chen Er's expression was complex, one part heartache, four parts estrangement, and the remaining five parts were all nervousness.

Hearing her husband's question, she not only didn't reply but also took a step back.

Mr. Chen, the elder, was stunned for a moment, instinctively feeling something was wrong.

Seeing the old man and the woman on the ground, his heart suddenly plummeted from his chest, shattering into pieces.

It happened!

He instinctively took two steps back, his eyes darting around. Before he could even think of a plan, Chen Chuan had already lunged forward and grabbed his collar fiercely.

"Second brother, you say! Did mother die because of you Was it you who sent Chen He's Fuhong ointment to the army camp"

"Cough, cough, let me go! Listen to me!" Chen Lao Er tugged at Chen Chuan's arm.

Maybe he was too excited, because suddenly he started having trouble breathing and tears streamed down his face along with a runny nose.

Chen Chuan was startled. As soon as he let go, Chen Lao Er fell to the ground, trembling and convulsing like he was being tortured.

Everyone was clueless about what had happened, especially Madam Chen Er who chided Chen Chuan, "Third brother, things aren't clear yet! How could you strangle your second brother to death!"

Chen frowned. He had been doing this kind of work for a long time, and his strength had indeed increased a lot, but he wouldn't have strangled someone to death without knowing it.

At this moment, Li Lao Er spoke up.

He wasn't forced into this problem, he simply fell prey to his nicotine addiction.

As expected, Chen Lao Er let out a sigh of relief and, regardless of who was in front of him, pulled up his pants leg and shouted.

"Give me a drag! Give me a hit, now! I'm dying, give me a hit!"

Li Laoer disliked him and shook him off, stepping back two paces.

Chen Chuan, though shocked, crouched down and asked, "Second Brother, as long as you tell the truth, I'll get you some Fuhong ointment!

"Mother, was it you who had the wet nurse poisoned Did you send Little He the Fufeng Cream"

Chen Lao Er was in excruciating pain, rolling on the ground and shouting.

"No, no! I don't know! Give me a pull, I'm dying!"

"Give me smoke, give me smoke!"

Chen Chuan was about to speak, but Li Laer interrupted, "Wait until half a cup of tea is gone, and he won't be so stubborn!"

Everyone was silent, only Chen Lao Er rolled on the ground, even grabbing stones to hit his own head. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and started screaming like a madman.

"Xiao He is not my fault! Xiao He followed me to Yaochi to have fun before, and we tasted Fuhong Paste together."

Later I heard that Xiao He went to the military camp, and Yaochi's manager asked me to give Xiao He some Fuhong ointment.

"As long as I send it, he'll just give me a blank one! I don't know how this will harm Xiao He! I don't know!"

Chen Chuan-jye could no longer bear it. Riding on Chen Lao Er's back, she raised her hand and slapped him hard several times, crying out, "You are his uncle! How can you take him to get opium

You still have the face to lie! After Xiao He died, you kept instigating us to seek revenge from the Li family.

"You're just trying to cover up the fact that you killed Xiaogè, aren't you"can guarantee there won't be any variables if you haven't actually gotten it in your hands. 。"Now that the Marquis is on a northern campaign and the Empress Dowager is being suppressed and dares not m...
