C94 The Heart of a Woman Is the Most Poisonous
"Fourth Miss, why are you so vicious? That is a child that I have worked so hard to bear for seven months." Mistress Ling's cries became louder and louder.
"Whether it is a dead child or not, Imperial Physician Gu will know when he comes." Mu Ruqing looked at Mu Po with an expression that refused to be rejected, "Just now, I was afraid that the doctors in the prefecture were not as good as Imperial Physician Gu, so I sent someone to invite him over. I estimate that he has arrived now."
"Qing, don't speak nonsense about this matter. If you don't have solid evidence..." Mu Po was still a little conflicted. His heart ached for Mistress Ling, and he believed Mu Ruqing's words a little more.
"Then why is there a faint herbal smell in the aunt's room and all kinds of medicinal herbs that can stabilize the fetus in the medicinal dregs? How can there be those medicinal herbs in ordinary medications for stabilizing the fetus?" Mu Ruqing waved her hand and Lingyue carried servant girl over and was tied up. Her mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth and her expression was painful. She could not say a word.
Mistress Ling could not see the situation outside the screen and no one could see her shocked and fearful expression, "The placenta medicine is from the residence. If you really took the Ai grass, there will be a record."
"Aunt is so smart that she imitated mother's notes and used mother's unique fabric. Would she be stupid enough to catch the grass in the residence again?" Mu Ruqing's tone was sarcastic as she lifted up a prescription, "Your eldest servant girl already confessed. The prescription is now in my hands. I have also brought the record of grabbing medicine outside the residence. Aunt, what else do you have to say?"
" Impossible. prime minister, Fourth Miss framed me! "Listening to Mistress Ling's crying, Mu Po looked at the screen and did not say anything.
"Imperial Physician Gu is here. Does Aunt still want to fight to the death?" Mu Ruqing walked directly to the screen and pressed down on Mistress Ling word by word.
Mistress Ling thought for a moment and gritted her teeth. The cold sweat on her face was unknown whether it was painful or scared. "I did not!"
"Okay, then I will make you convinced. Only your courtyard has not been investigated." Mu Ruqing turned around and requested, "Father, daughter requests to dig out the willow tree in Mistress Ling's courtyard. No matter what, we should treat them equally."
"Send a few people over." The old lady spoke and she absolutely believed in Mu Ruqing.
"Yes." Mu Po lowered his head and answered. He personally went to supervise.
"Miss, Imperial Physician Gu has arrived." Lingyue bowed, and Imperial Physician Gu followed behind her.
Imperial Physician Gu was still as strong as before. He first bowed. He followed the old lady's instructions and went to take Mistress Ling's pulse. When he came out, he frowned a little and looked at the dead baby. He touched the goat-horned beard and said, "Madam, Madam. There was indeed the smell of aphrodisiac in the room, and it was in the antivenom that Mistress Ling had taken. There must be some aphrodisiac grass that can nourish the fetus."
"What about the baby?" The more Mrs Miao thought about it, the more strange she felt.
"It's a dead baby in the womb. According to the month, the baby should be in July. But the baby was only the size of four or five months. It could be seen that he had been hanging there with medicine. That's why he didn't slip. " Imperial Physician Gu cupped his hands. If Mu Ruqing hadn't invited him, he wouldn't have come.
"I understand. Thank you, Imperial Physician." The old lady had a look of enlightenment. It seemed that what Qing said was correct.
"This old official will retire." Imperial Physician Gu bowed. It was better to not interfere in the matters of the mansion.
The old lady knocked her walking stick twice and said angrily, "What a sin!"
At this moment, Mu Po entered the house with only anger in his eyes. Before the others could say anything, he ordered his trusted aides, "Search this room for this kind of fabric!" As he spoke, he threw an old doll on the ground.
"Prime minister, I was wronged! prime minister! I am wronged! " The more Mistress Ling heard, the colder her heart became. The blood had stopped long ago, but her lower body was numb from the pain. She could not care less now. She endured all the pain and wanted to crawl out.
"Humph! I will find out for myself!" Mu Po's tone was no longer as loving as before.
Mrs Miao picked up the voodoo doll. Its color had dimmed, as if it had been buried for a long time. Mu Ruqing and Lau Fenglan also went up. On it was written the date of Aunt Qu's birth and the approximate time of pregnancy. Mu Ruqing tore open the baby's belly and there was actually a small person inside! It was the same as the one in Mrs Miao's courtyard. The cloth was also that special cloth and the handwriting was Mistress Ling's.
"Father, this..." Mu Ruqing raised her head and did not believe it.
Mu Po nodded and closed his eyes in pain. Mistress Ling used to be gentle and caring, but now she had become the most poisonous woman.
"Prime minister." The trusted aide returned with a cloth in his hand.
Mu Po went forward and looked at it. It was a few inches missing. If he counted carefully, it was almost the same as the one on the voodoo doll.
"Prime minister. You have to believe me. It must be Madam. Madam is jealous that I am pregnant! She framed me!" Mistress Ling unknowingly climbed to the side of the screen. The back half of her body was still behind, and her face looked haggard.
"How can there be such a vicious woman!?" The old lady stood up and criticized, "In the past, I saw that you were still alright, but I never thought that you would be so filthy!"
"Framed? You placed this kind of poison in your own selection to frame you?" Mu Po no longer believed her. He kicked the voodoo doll with Aunt Qu's name in front of her. " Take a look at what this is! After so many years, this Prime Minister has actually been deceived by you! "
" Impossible! prime minister, that doll was destroyed a long time ago, and the fabric wasn't like this! How could it still be here!? " Mistress Ling looked at the doll. Her eyes were as wide as copper bells, and her hands started to tremble.
"Oh, so it was destroyed a long time ago?" Mu Ruqing's eyes lit up and she smiled evilly, "Whether it was destroyed or not, I will have to ask your eldest servant girl!" As she spoke, she pulled off the cotton cloth that was tied up in servant girl's mouth.
Servant girl trembled as much as Mistress Ling, "No... No... Lady prime minister, please spare my life. It was Mistress Ling who asked this servant to do it! It was all her! This servant was also the one who asked this servant to find the midwife!"
"Shut up!" Mistress Ling violently pounded the ground.
"You shut up!" Mu Po pointed at her, full of anger, "Continue!"
Servant girl trembled, looked at Mistress Ling, and immediately kowtowed, "prime minister, when Aunt Qu gave birth, the young master was still alive and well. Mistress Ling bribed the midwife to let the midwife strangle the young master, and also left bruises on the young master's body. Tell Lady prime minister that the fetus died in the womb! "
" Is what she said true? " Mu Po had already arrived at Mistress Ling and Mrs Miao. He looked down at her with obvious killing intent.
"Prime minister! You... you have to trust me." Mistress Ling seized the opportunity to grab his feet and begged.
"Get lost!" Mu Po kicked her away and shook his sleeve. "Mistress Ling maliciously killed the heir of the Prime Minister's Estate and used forbidden techniques to harm others. Her crime cannot be forgiven. Wait for me to inform the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Court will punish her!"
Mistress Ling's lips turned green and she suddenly felt a warm liquid flowing between her legs. Her nails dug into the floor. "prime minister do not want it. I know my crime. Please consider the fact that I have served you for many years. Spare me! Madam! Madam! Please spare my life! "
"Father, my daughter thinks that a household scandal cannot be made public. Furthermore, she has suffered such pain today. This can also be considered retribution. I hope that father will spare her. " Mu Ruqing looked at Mistress Ling. She was vicious, but no matter what she said, if this spread out, it would affect the reputation of the Prime Minister Estate.
"Yes. prime minister, spare my sister's life." Mrs Miao also pleaded on her behalf.
Mu Po looked at the old lady, who turned her face away." Do as you see fit. Fenglan, I'm tired. Help me back."
"Yes." Lau Fenglan helped the old lady out the door.
The Prime Minister's residence was a gate. Compared to the incense of a dead person, reputation was perhaps more important. Furthermore, Mistress Ling deserved it.
Mu Po frowned and thought for a moment, then ordered servant girl. "From now on, you will serve her here. The rest of the people will be sent to other courtyards. Without my permission, you are not allowed to enter and exit this courtyard!"
"Yes." servant girl's nose trembled. At least she could keep her life.
"Men, drag her out and hit her a hundred times. Whether she lives or dies depends on heaven's will!" Mu Po gave another order. servant girl was stripped off, and she couldn't help but cry and beg for mercy.
"Mother, you are also tired. Let's go." Mu Ruqing pulled Mrs Miao and bowed to Mu Po before going out.
Mu Po looked at Mistress Ling and did not know when he had fainted. He did not stay any longer and walked out without any attachment.
