Song San Xiao ran into the mansion, sweating profusely, and asked Xu where she was before running towards the courtyard.
When he reached the door, he shouted at the top of his lungs, “Sister-in-law, come out quickly, something has happened!”
Xu was accompanying Meng to make clothes for the old man, when she suddenly heard the shout she froze for a moment, then put down her clothes, “It’s Sandi’s voice, I’ll go out and see.”
Meng was uneasy and gestured for Sister Wu to follow her out.
Seeing her come out, Song San trotted into the courtyard, “Sister-in-law, something’s wrong, old man has been poisoned! Now he’s unconscious.”
“What did you say?”
Xu was shocked.
Sister Wu turned around and went inside and told Meng, who hurriedly put down the clothes in her hands and came out, “Sister Wu, have someone prepare the carriage, Wan’er, let’s go to the study.”
Sister Wu quickly went to give the order, Xu turned and helped Meng walk quickly outside, Song San Xiao followed the two, “Yue’er and Yi’er are both here, but there are rumours outside that the poison old sir has been poisoned with is so strong that even Doctor Yao is unable to help.”
Xu’s and Meng’s feet went a little weak.
“Quickly, walk faster.”
Coming to the door, when Meng and Xu got on the carriage, Song San Xiao also sat to the front, “I’ll take you there.”
The carriage soon arrived at the entrance of the academy, and as soon as the carriage stopped, Song Sanxiao jumped down and knocked on the door, and before he could knock twice, the door was opened and a magistrate appeared at the door, “What are you doing?”
“We are the family of the old gentleman, we have just heard the news, how is the old gentleman?”
The magistrate looked at them for a few moments, opened the door and let them in, “Doctor Yao is trying to find a way to cure the poison.”
“Where is the person, please also take us there.”
The magistrate led the men over.
As soon as they entered the courtyard of the common room and saw Xu Liang standing in the doorway with red eyes, Meng’s heart sank to the bottom.
“Madam ……”
Xu Liang walked over quickly, before he could speak, his eyes were red again, it was all his fault for not taking care of the old man.
Song Wan Yue heard shouts from outside and knew it was Meng and Xu coming over, she hurriedly came out, “Grandmother, mother.”
“How is your maternal great-grandfather?”
Hearing her voice trembling, Song Wan Yue came forward to help her, “Master has used silver needles to seal his heart veins, he is fine for now.”
Walking in and seeing the old man lying on the bed as if he was asleep, Meng’s heart sank even deeper and she gave a bow to Doctor Yao, “Please save the old man no matter what.”
Dr. Yao hastily avoided it and returned the salute, “Don’t worry, Madam, I will do my best.”
Xu put down Meng’s hand and squatted down in front of the bed, unable to stop the tears from flowing down her face. When she was in the capital, her grandfather had been angry with Mr. Big and had fainted, and had not recovered for a long time. With her loving grandfather and mother by her side, she thought that the future would be good, but she never expected that her grandfather would be poisoned again.
Gu Yi came over to help her, “Auntie, grandfather will wake up.”
Xu looked at him with teary eyes, “Yi’er, you’re not lying to auntie, are you? Grandfather will definitely wake up, right?”
“Yes.”
Gu Yi’s voice was firm.
“I believe you, I believe you, I’m not going anywhere, I’ll stay here with my grandfather.”
The magistrate quietly retreated, listlessly walked out of the academy and took a sedan chair back to the magistrate’s office.
Thinking that not only was his promotion hopeless, but he might also be removed from his black hat, he wanted to dismantle the person who had poisoned him.
Inside the house, the dean apologised to Meng with red eyes, “It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have let my benefactor come to lecture.”
Meng did not blame him, but even comforted him, “You didn’t want to, so don’t blame yourself.
“Your benefactor will be fine, he will definitely be fine.”
The dean kept repeating these words, as if if if he said more, the old gentleman would really be fine.
Doctor Yao gave Song Wangyue a wink, which Song Wangyue understood.
“Grandmother, when I was investigating the person who poisoned him just now, I asked the dean to lock up his wife, now it’s fine, you help me go over with the dean to release the person, and apologize for me, I’ve offended much just now, when grand great grandfather is fine, I’ll go over and apologize again.”
Meng immediately understood the meaning of her words, “Good, please take me there with the dean.”
The dean was about to say that there was no need, Song Wangyue had done nothing wrong, her own wife was the one who had touched the old man’s food and tea, it was only right that she was suspected, the moment the words left her mouth he thought of something and immediately changed his words, “Madam sister-in-law please come with me.”
Back then when he and the old gentleman were studying under him and the eldest gentleman called him brother and brother, he had always addressed Meng as sister-in-law madam, and even though they had reconciled, he had not changed his name.
Meng went with the dean to the backyard.
Only then did Song San Xiao come in, “Yue’er, is there anything I can help you with?”
“Not for now, Third Uncle go back, tell Second Uncle and Second Aunt that there’s nothing over here, tell them not to come over.”
“Good.”
Responding to the voice and glancing at the old man in bed, Song San Xiao turned and went out.
As he walked outside, he thought of how Qi Ying had come today, and how come he hadn’t sent a letter to them after the old man’s accident. He also thought of Qi Ying’s promise that he would go over to eat cold skin at noon if he was free, but he hadn’t seen anyone so far, could something have happened?
He hesitated for a moment before turning back to the door, “Yue’er, come out for a moment, Third Uncle wants to ask you something.”
Song Wan Yue came out of the house, and Song San Xiao pulled her aside, “According to reason, Miss Qi should have gone over to tell us about such a big matter as the old man’s poisoning, but so far I haven’t seen her, did something happen to her?”
“Sister Qi ……”
Three words left her mouth, something flashed through Song Wan Yue’s mind and she changed her tone, “Third Uncle, wait for a moment, I will accompany you to see Sister Qi.”
Song San Xiao immediately became anxious when he heard that, “Something happened to her isn’t it?”
Song Wan Yue didn’t answer him, she went back to the house and told a few people to come out, then she replied to her, “It’s nothing serious, sister Qi probably had a bad stomach this morning.”
“How is that possible, she just ate a bite of burrito and a few wontons in the morning ……”
The first time I saw her, I had to go to his stall and smash it up.”
The two of them left the school and got on the carriage, Song Sanxiao kept urging the carriage driver to go faster, but when they got to the entrance of the dart office, they found the door closed.
In his anxiety, he used so much force that half of the street could hear him, and naturally the people inside the dartboard heard him and ran over to open the door.
The door had just opened a crack when Song Sanxiao couldn’t wait to enter, but was stopped by the door opener, his voice alert, “What are you doing?”
