Chapter 33: Who took the laxative
Since the last time he had a big fight with Hong Hua over the Fuzhou fish balls, Anu has been extra careful with the two attendants, Hong Hua and Lan Hua.Especially in Yanchen's daily life, no matter food, clothing, housing, or transportation, he can do everything by himself without the help of others.
Of course, Honghua also kept her grudge in her heart, thinking of finding an opportunity to take revenge on Anu.He didn't know that Anu had already got his mind and didn't give him any chance to attack.The red flower then plans how to use the blue flower, after all, Anu's defense against the blue flower will be more relaxed.This blue flower is also a pig brain, he is obedient to Hong Hua's words, and never hesitates.
That night, Yan Chen asked Anu to prepare a supper, and he planned to spend the whole night studying a wonderful book written by Ji Kang, the leader of the seven sages in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.Anu knew that the servants in the kitchen had already finished their work, so he asked Yan Chen if he could just cook a bowl of meat and swallow?Yan Chen didn't make things difficult for Anu and the servants in the kitchen, and said that as long as they can fill their stomachs, everything is fine.
Anu then went to the kitchen alone, preparing for Qi Yanchen's supper.He walked all the way through the garden in the dead of night, and the white moonlight above his head poured down, illuminating the whole garden. The vegetation and rockeries in the garden interlaced with jagged light and shadow under the moonlight.Occasionally a breeze blows, and I feel cool all over. This early summer is coming, and this summer in Fuzhou City is like a stove.
Walking through the garden, Anu heard light footsteps behind him.He turned and looked, but there was no one there.Maybe it was a cat, or the sound of wind blowing grass and trees, Anu guessed like this, so he didn't pay any attention to it.
Anu came all the way to the door of the kitchen, and before he entered, he heard a rush of noise inside, as if there was still a glimmer of light that went out instantly.When Anu entered the door, there was no movement.Maybe it was a few rats that ate it secretly, Anu thought so, then lit a few candles on the candlestick, and started busy making meat swallows.
After a while, the meat swallow came out of the pot.At this time, Anu heard someone calling his name outside the door.So he left the meat swallow in the pot and ran out, but there was no one there.Just as he was about to go back, he heard shouts coming from behind the corner, so he followed the sound and walked over.After turning the corner, the sound disappeared again.Anu was puzzled, until he suddenly remembered that the meat swallow was still in the pot, and hurriedly walked back to the kitchen.
Anu opened it and took a look. Fortunately, the water didn't dry up, and the meat swallows also floated up piece by piece, which seemed to be cooked.The one who came back was just right, Anu thought so, he fished the meat swallow into a bowl, put some condiments, and brought it into Yan Chen's room.Yan Chen saw that Anu brought the supper, so he was not in a hurry to enjoy it, but let Anu go back to rest first, and he would eat when he was hungry.Seeing that Yan Chen was concentrating on studying Qi Shu, Anu didn't want to disturb him, so he followed Yan Chen's wishes and went back to his room to rest.
Silent night.
After Anu fell asleep, I don't know how long it took.
There was a faint groan outside the window, followed by sharp shouts, bursts of ear-piercing.
"It hurts, it hurts so much, come on, it hurts me to death!"
Anu was startled awake, and when she listened carefully, her face turned pale with shock, it turned out to be Yan Chen's voice.
Anu hurriedly got up and dressed.At the same time, Fan Fan was also woken up and asked in a panic:
"It seems to be the second young master's voice, Brother Anu, what happened?"
"It's the second young master's voice, I'll go and have a look."
Before Anu came to Yan Chen's room, he saw Yan Chen's room was brightly lit, two figures knocked open the door and rushed in.Anu came over immediately when he heard the voice, and there was someone even faster than him.Anu wondered who it was, but couldn't think too much, and ran into Yan Chen's room, only then did he see that the two figures were the red flower and the blue flower.
Anu saw Yanchen huddled on the ground, rolling around beside the desk and crying out for pain, with his hands tightly pressed on his stomach, appearing in extreme pain.Lan Hua was beside Yan Chen, as if trying to help Yan Chen up.Honghua carefully looked at the bowl of meat and swallow soup left by Yanchen.
When Anu was about to step forward to help Yan Chen up, Lan Hua stopped him.
"Lanhua, what's wrong with the second young master?" Anu asked.
"You still have the nerve to ask me, the second young master did this after eating the bowl of meat swallows. It was you, you must have drugged the meat swallows." Lan Hua said anxiously and thoughtlessly. .
Seeing that the blue flower didn't know how to restrain herself, the red flower hurried over to stop Anu together, saying:
"Lan Hua, we don't need to tell him too much, when Mrs. Lian comes over, we will understand after seeing all this."
"I don't know what you are talking about, let's just put the Second Young Master to bed!" Anu said, trying to break through the defense line of Red Flower and Blue Flower.Unexpectedly, she was pushed hard by Honghua and fell to the ground.
"You still want to get close to the second young master? Hmph, don't even think about it!" Hong Hua said.
At this time, Mrs. Lian's voice came from outside the door:
"What's the matter? In the middle of the night, it's shouting and arguing again."
Seeing that Mrs. Lian was about to enter the room, Honghua and Lanhua took the opportunity to pretend to help Yan Chen up.Anu hurriedly got up from the ground.
When Mrs. Lian walked into the door, she happened to see Hong Hua and Lan Hua helping Yan Chen up, while Anu was standing by and watching.The steward and servants followed behind.
"Jinhua, how do you take care of the second young master?" Mrs. Lian asked sternly.
Before Anu opened his mouth to defend, Honghua rushed to say:
"Second young master has a severe stomachache, probably because he ate something unclean."
At this moment, Yan Chen was lying on the bed, clenched his teeth, and remained silent.It seems that he feels that it is too spineless to shout about pain in front of so many people, so he is enduring the pain.
"Come on, let me take a look." Mrs. Lian walked to the edge of the bed and continued to ask Honghua, "Did you invite the doctor?"
"Mrs. Huilian, the doctor is already on his way and will be there soon."
"Well, Steward Li, you go and watch outside. As soon as the doctor arrives, please invite him in here." After Mrs. Lian finished speaking, Steward Li quickly agreed and went out.Mrs. Lian continued to say to Yan Chen:
"Good boy, the doctor is coming soon, don't hold back, if you are in pain, just yell, it doesn't matter."
Yan Chen didn't listen, but still held back and didn't say a word.
Seeing this, Lan Hua said impatiently:
"Mrs. Lian, it's Anu's fault. The second young master became like this after eating the meat swallow he cooked."
The blue flower said more and more frivolously, it was the red flower that gave him a wink, and he calmed down.
Mrs. Lian interrupted him impatiently and said:
"Okay, let's all go out first, after the doctor comes to show Yan Chen, my wife will ask you for your crimes!"
So, Anu, Honghua and Lanhua left the room together.At this time, Fan Fan came late and met Anu at the door.
Anu looked sad, but saw Fan Fan gave him a subtle smile.Only then did he realize that Fan Fan didn't come alone, but brought Axia from the kitchen with him.
Seeing Fan Fan coming, Mrs. Lian said:
"You came just in time, you came to take care of Yan Chen with me."
After a while, Steward Li brought the doctor in, took Yan Chen's pulse and prescribed medicine.Fan Fan led the two attendants beside Mrs. Lian to get the medicine himself, and ordered them to make it.In the end, Fan Fan had a bad feeling and hurried back to Yan Chen's room.
As soon as Fan Fan walked to the door, he heard the conversation between Mrs. Lian and the doctor——
"Doctor, what's wrong with my son, why is he in such pain?"
"Madam Lian, please don't worry, it's just an ordinary dysentery. Maybe it's because the second young master's body is too delicate. If it were an ordinary person, he would only have diarrhea for a few days."
Fan Fan walked into the front hall, and besides the doctor and Mrs. Lian, Anu, Honghua, Lanhua, and Axia were all there.
"It's for no reason. How could Yan Chen have dysentery?" Mrs. Lian continued to ask the doctor.
"In my opinion, it should be a food problem. Excuse me, what did the second young master eat before the onset of the disease?"
At this time, without waiting for Mrs. Lian to signal, Lan Hua hastily interrupted and said:
"I know, Mrs. Huilian, the second young master got dysentery after eating the bowl of meat swallow soup on the desk."
"Hmph, Lan Hua, you are very clear, go, quickly bring that bowl of food to the doctor." Mrs. Lian said.
Lan Hua was very active, and quickly brought over the bowl of leftover meat and swallow soup.After carefully smelling it, the doctor said to Mrs. Lian:
"That's right, there is something wrong with this bowl of meat and swallow soup."
"What's the problem?"
"This?"
"Just say what you have to say, it doesn't matter."
"Yes, ma'am. If I'm not mistaken, someone put a laxative in this bird's nest soup."
"What! You bastard, you're so bastard!" Mrs. Lian asked sharply, "Who prepared this meat swallow soup?"
Anu was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, and hurriedly knelt down. Before he had time to plead guilty, Lan Hua said plausibly:
"Mrs. Lian, it must be Jinhua. He wanted to harm the second young master and put a laxative in the meat swallow soup."
Mrs. Lian ignored Lan Hua and asked Anu:
"Jin Hua, did you prepare this meat swallow soup?"
"Yes, the meat swallow soup was prepared by Anu. The second young master temporarily said that he would study strange books all night and asked me to prepare a supper. The cooks in the kitchen were all off work, so I went to cook a bowl of meat swallow myself. "
"So you're pleading guilty?"
"No, Anu didn't add any laxatives to the meat swallow soup!"
"Is there anyone who can testify for you?"
"Because it was dark at night, only Anu was preparing for the front and back, and no one else was present."
"If you didn't take the laxative, then can you tell me who gave it?"
"Anu doesn't know, but Anu is indeed innocent."
At this time, Lan Hua couldn't help but say in a gossip:
"Hmph, are you innocent? Could it be that the second young master put a laxative in the meat swallow soup? If the criminal's words count, and the criminal says he's innocent, wouldn't the government, the yamen and the prison be useless?"
On the other hand, Honghua was surprisingly calm, not saying a word, not even a single expression on her face.
After hearing what Lan Hua said, Mrs. Lian sighed and said:
"That's it, send Jinhua to the Yamen for trial."
"Madam, please wait a moment." Fan Fan said in time, "At night, Anu and I heard the second young master's shouting. Anu went out first, and when I went out later, I bumped into someone who was hovering at the door of my room. A-Xia, A-Xia said that she has something to report to Madam, so I brought him here."
"Asha? He is?"
"A Xia is a help cook brought by Master Wang from the kitchen. His hometown is in the countryside, so they all live in Zhang Zhaizi."
"Oh, it's from the kitchen?" Mrs. Lian said, and then asked A Xia: "Are you here for the second young master's business tonight?"
