Chapter 127 General's Concubine 1
"If you can think this way, then Grandmother will be relieved," the old lady said, "By the way, are you going to Aunt Jiang's place tonight? Grandmother knows that you must be feeling bad right now. After all, Yaozhu is not feeling well because of you taking a concubine. How can you still be in the mood to go to the concubine's room?"
"But Zhen'er! Since you have already taken a concubine and went to Aunt Jiang's room last night, you should make Aunt Jiang pregnant as soon as possible and go to Aunt Jiang's room more often."
"Grandmother has heard that the border has been unstable recently, and she is afraid that His Majesty will send you to fight again, so Grandmother hopes that you can make Aunt Jiang pregnant as soon as possible."
Since grandma had said so, how could Yue Zhen refuse? "Got it, grandma, I'll go to Aunt Jiang's place later."
He had just told Yaozhu that he would sleep in the front yard tonight, but he broke his promise so quickly. If Yaozhu knew that he was going to Aunt Jiang's yard tonight, she probably wouldn't know how to blame him!
Yue Zhen chatted with the old lady for a while before leaving. After coming out of his grandmother's yard, he did not go to Jiang Chunxi's yard immediately, but went to the front yard to handle some official business, took a bath and then set off for Jiang Chunxi's yard.
As soon as Yue Zhen entered Jiang Chunxi's yard, Liu Yaozhu found out immediately.
This made Liu Yaozhu sneer viciously.
The words sounded better than the songs, but what was the result? He said one thing in front of her and another behind her back. He said he would not go to the concubine's room tonight, but he still couldn't help going there.
Of course, it must be that the old man said something to Yue Zhen, so Yue Zhen went to the yard of that bitch Aunt Jiang.
Okay, okay, really good.
The old thing had to force her to kill her as soon as possible before she would be satisfied.
For the next half month, Jiang Chunxi went to the old lady's yard every day and stayed there until the sun was about to set before going back. With Jiang Chunxi making the old lady happy every day, the old lady smiled more often in the past few days and looked much better.
Liu Yaozhu also stepped up her efforts to take action against the old lady.
That night, a little maid who was on night watch secretly opened the window and successfully infected the old lady with a cold.
Upon learning that the old lady had caught a cold, Jiang Chunxi knew that Liu Yaozhu had taken action, and that the next step would be for Liu Yaozhu to take action on the old lady's medicine.
It was just as Jiang Chunxi expected. Liu Yaozhu's next move was to make changes to the medicine. Anyway, the old man was old and if he caught a cold and his condition worsened, he would not be able to survive. Isn't that normal?
Liu Yaozhu was sure that Yue Zhen would not suspect anything, so she dared to take such a risk to attack the old lady. After all, no matter how hard Yue Zhen thought, he would never have thought that someone would attack his grandmother.
But what Liu Yaozhu didn't know was that Jiang Chunxi was a cheater and had already planned and was waiting for Liu Yaozhu to fall into the trap.
Therefore, when the maid who was making the medicine poured the powder given by Liu Yaozhu into the old lady's medicine, she was caught on the spot by Nanny Sun.
Now the matter has become a big deal.
"You lowly bastard," Yue Zhen fiercely kicked the maid who drugged the old lady, "Tell me, who ordered you to drug the old lady?"
"I...I..." The maidservant was so frightened that she burst into tears. "No one ordered me to do this. I was resentful towards the old lady, so I drugged her. I am obviously as pretty as Concubine Jiang, and I came to serve the old lady earlier than Concubine Jiang, but the old lady chose Concubine Jiang to be the general's concubine. That's why I hated the old lady and drugged her."
It’s not that this maid doesn’t want to give away the young lady, but the problem is that someone has just threatened her that if she dares to give away the young lady, all her family members will die.
This maidservant was not born in the family. Her parents and family were all farmers. If the young lady really wanted to take action against her family, then her family would have no way to survive.
So what could the maid do? She could only insist that she was the one who poisoned the old lady.
"Yue Zhen, drag this maid out and beat her to death with sticks," Liu Yaozhu pretended to be angry, "Just because she was not chosen by grandma to be your concubine, this damned lowly girl actually dared to poison grandma. She is such a lowly person, dragging her out and beating her to death with sticks is the least of her punishment!"
Liu Yaozhu now only wants to execute this maid as soon as possible, otherwise if she delays any further, things might change.
What a useless thing! She was able to mess up even when she gave the drug. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and asked Birou to warn this bastard, otherwise this bastard would have betrayed her by now.
And that old thing, how come she is so lucky?
But it doesn’t matter. If it doesn’t work once, she can try a few more times. She doesn’t believe that the old guy can be so lucky that he can let her escape every time.
Because Jiang Chunxi came in this life, Liu Yaozhu was even more eager to kill the old lady. Unlike in her previous life, she did not plan for a long time and only took action against the old lady after the original owner gave birth to the child.
So, when a woman becomes vicious, it is really scary. Just because Jiang Chunxi goes to the old lady's yard every day and makes the old lady happy, Liu Yaozhu can't wait to kill the old lady.
"No," Nanny Sun said, "General, I don't believe that this servant girl would dare to put poison into the old lady's medicine without anyone's instructions. She is a lowly person, how could she get such a subtle poison? The doctor said that such poison is very rare."
"So I think we should interrogate this maid again, and it would be best to control her family as well. She dared to drug the old lady. She is so lowly that she would not think that her life is enough..."
"Madame Sun," Liu Yaozhu interrupted her, "Grandmother has always been kind-hearted. Isn't it inappropriate for you to say that? It was this slave who drugged Grandmother. Then our General's Mansion should just get rid of this slave. There is no need to spare even the slave's family. If we really do that, how will others view our General's Mansion?"
"From what I hear from the young lady, she is protecting this slave girl." Nanny Sun originally didn't suspect Liu Yaozhu, but now she is suspicious. "This slave girl dared to drug the old lady, so it's only natural to hold her family members accountable. So I really don't understand why the young lady cares about what others think of the general."
"On the contrary, if the General's Mansion lets this slave's family go, then others will have something to say about the General's Mansion. The old lady of the General's Mansion was poisoned by a servant, but she was soft-hearted and made a small matter out of it, and didn't deal with this slave's family. That would be a joke."
