Take a Sip of Milk to Calm My Nerves, the Whole Family is Waiting for Me to Save Them – Chapter 47

Ch 47: Eavesdropping and Reporting

The small episode of the Bamboo Garden catching fire did not attract much attention.

Prince Ying led the reluctant Xue Zheng away, and Master He left quickly because he didn’t get to greet Chou Chou.

Su Junyao and the Wen Yang Marquis saw them off and were blocked in the study by Su Jingwen, who was covered in dirt.

The Wen Yang Marquis hesitated: “Did you go to put out the fire?”

Su Jingwen wiped his face, not caring much: “No, but I have a major discovery!”

“What?”

“Mixin Cao!”

Su Junyao covered Su Jingwen’s mouth and dragged him inside, while the Wen Yang Marquis opened the door and looked around to make sure no one was there before closing the doors and windows tightly: “Jingwen, this kind of thing is not something you children should know.”

Su Jingwen narrowed his eyes slightly, smiling like a little fox: “Can’t you hear Chou Chou’s inner voice?”

If Chou Chou can know, why can’t he!

How can there be so many coincidences in this world? It’s just because everyone can hear Chou Chou’s inner voice. The little guy is very mysterious!

Su Junyao and the Wen Yang Marquis’s eyes suddenly became dangerous. They didn’t expect that this little Chou Chou had no privacy at all in front of her family.

Su Jingwen took a step back, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and quickly expressed his loyalty to his dad and grandfather: “Why are you looking at me with such eyes? I am Chou Chou’s own brother, how could I harm her!”

Brothers stand together against enemies, father and son fight side by side.

He can’t harm anyone, especially his lovely little sister.

He’s afraid that if he says he doesn’t want this little sister today, that guy Xue Zheng will be waiting at the door to pick up the child tomorrow. Chou Chou is a rare baby and must be treasured!

Su Junyao absolutely believes his son on this point. First of all, their four brothers are very united.

“Does Xiucheng know about this?”

“Of course.” Su Jingwen had long discovered that his family seemed to be able to understand Chou Chou’s inner voice, especially on the first day of the new year when he stopped his Third Uncle from drinking the medicinal soup containing Mixin Cao, this suspicion instantly reached its peak.🵵

As for the Fourth……

“He still thinks his ability is special, thinking that one day an immortal will descend from the sky and take him to cultivate immortality and embark on the highest realm of life.”

Su Junyao: “……”

Wen Yang Marquis: “???”

This child is thinking a lot!

The Wen Yang Marquis turned eighteen corners in his heart, then sighed: “Let’s talk about Mixin Cao.”

The child is still young, it’s a good thing to have dreams, and as elders, we must never dampen the child’s enthusiasm. What if an immortal really descends one day?

Su Jingwen: “Today, there was a fire in the grass pile in Grandmother’s courtyard, so I went to take a look. Unfortunately, I met Qiao Muyang, so I brought back that pile of waste.”

He pointed to a large pile in the corner: “Grandfather, Dad, can you find someone to see if it’s Mixin Cao?”

🵵The Wen Yang Marquis and his son were a little dumbfounded. Although Mixin Cao is not very valuable, there shouldn’t be such a pile.🵵

Su Junyao privately invited Imperial Physician Wang. After his identification, it was indeed Mixin Cao!

Imperial Physician Wang: “Marquis, Heir, burning so much Mixin Cao will produce thick smoke. Inhaling a large amount of it will paralyze people’s brains and cause a state of madness, and in severe cases, it can be fatal! I don’t know who discovered it, but has anyone inhaled it?”

Su Jingwen replied: “It was two servants in Grandmother’s courtyard, one looked unfamiliar, and the other I remember was named Zhang.”

The Wen Yang Marquis called the steward, “Bring over the Zhang-named Young Male Servant in the Bamboo Garden and the person who was with him this morning!”

It would be unlucky for someone to die during the New Year. Besides, the Young Male Servant is innocent, so they can’t be implicated.

◈◈◈

Seeing that none of the three Su family members had a good look on their faces, Imperial Physician Wang, who originally wanted to ask about Chou Chou’s situation, also shut up.

The steward went quickly and returned quickly, but his face was even more ugly.

“Marquis, those two Young Male Servants you mentioned seem to be… mad!”

“Mad?!”

The benevolent Imperial Physician Wang immediately rushed over with his medicine box, grabbed the steward’s sleeve: “They are poisoned, where are the people? There is still hope, take me quickly!”

🵵』The Wen Yang Marquis nodded in agreement, and the steward reacted and led Imperial Physician Wang outside: “This humble one has already ordered people to carry them over, they are now in the side room, let’s go over now. Tell me what medicinal materials you need and this humble one will prepare them for you now.”🵵

“Good, good, good, I’ll write a prescription, you order someone to decoct it and take it to save their lives first!”

Now that it has been determined that the grass pile in the Bamboo Garden is Mixin Cao, this matter is intriguing.

Yun Jinglan was poisoned by Mixin Cao, Su Wenqi took medicinal soup containing Mixin Cao for a long time, and even Madam Wen herself was poisoned by it.

The Wen Yang Marquis dismissed Su Jingwen, and only the father and son were left in the study. They sat facing each other. The Wen Yang Marquis still chose to speak: “Yao’er, do you really believe that such a pile of Mixin Cao appeared in the Bamboo Garden and your mother knew nothing about it?”

Su Junyao opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything. Even if he wanted to protect her, he knew that this matter was not done secretly.

“This child just doesn’t know why.”

There must be a reason for everything. What good would it do to poison Third Brother and Yun Shi for his mother?

The Wen Yang Marquis was also puzzled. Yun Shi has the Yun General’s family behind her, and the eldest grandson is relying on the Yun family’s support at the frontier. As for Third Brother, he is her own son. What good would it do to harm them?

Wen Yang Marquis: “My Wen Yang Marquis Mansion will never tolerate evil, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!”

Su Junyao also wanted to know the truth, and didn’t say anything, just nodded.

🵵He fully cooperated.🵵

The Mixin Cao in the Bamboo Garden would not have appeared for no reason, there must be a source, and now everyone in the Bamboo Garden is a suspect. And the Zheng Family Mother and Son, who have close ties with Madam Wen, were listed as key targets of attention by Su Junyao.

While the father and son were discussing matters in the study, the others were transferred to the backyard by the steward to help. No one noticed that the Little Palace Maid holding the tea tray squatted under the window of the study for a long time, and hurriedly ran away before being discovered.

Yuan Xiang went all the way to the Bamboo Garden and stopped Wet Nurse Zhang.

“Wet Nurse Zhang, this servant wants to see Old Madam.”

Wet Nurse Zhang’s expression panicked when she saw Yuan Xiang, and she pulled her to the corner of the cloister: “What are you doing here in broad daylight?”

This girl is not as steady as Ningxiang!

“And is the Old Madam someone you can see whenever you want?”

Yuan Xiang pursed her lips, feeling angry at Wet Nurse Zhang’s disdain for her, but she was helpless, so she smiled and leaned forward: “Momo, I’m here because I have important matters to report to Old Madam, this matter is urgent and can’t be delayed! Please Momo, be accommodating?”

Wet Nurse Zhang rolled her eyes at her, exaggerating her pretense to the extreme: “You wait here, I’ll go and tell Old Madam.”

“Oh, thank you, Momo!” Yuan Xiang, “Please tell Old Madam that it’s about the Marquis and the Heir!”

🵵Wet Nurse Zhang was suspicious. She only sent this girl to monitor Yun Shi, how could there be anything about the Marquis and the Heir?

“Alright, you wait here. I’ll go in and tell Old Madam now. If you dare to say anything trivial, watch your skin!” As she spoke, she reached out and pinched Yuan Xiang’s arm hard.🵵

Yuan Xiang was in pain, but she didn’t dare to cry out, so she could only endure it, “Please Momo, go quickly.”
