C41 Injustice
When the old mistress came in, she saw the Fourth Concubine crawling on the ground while holding her stomach. She anxiously went forward to help him up and shouted angrily, "What the hell is going on?
Luo Mingshi stood up and bowed to the Old Granny, then called out: "Grandmother."
He turned to the side and let the doctor check his pulse. Right at that moment, Luoan'S Time and his son also came.
Luo Mingshi also bowed and called over everyone.
Luoan'S Time nervously asked the doctor how he was doing, only to see the doctor frowning, his expression serious as he replied, "Not so good, this aunt's womb is already showing signs of sliding. If she doesn't recuperate properly, I'm afraid ?"
Before she could finish, everyone's minds were already clear. First Madame looked at Luo Mingshi worriedly, but the old lady was much more straightforward, she looked straight at Luo Mingshi and said: "You say, Manyu was originally well off, why did something happen in your residence?"
When Luo Mingshi heard the undisguised questioning from the old lady, she did not panic at all. She only looked at Fourth Concubine who was standing there moaning in pain and feigning death, and said: "I don't know either, Fourth Concubine came to find me today, saying that she wanted to ask me about some things related to the woman's beauty. It can be seen that she is not the Fourth Concubine I sought out, and he is not the person I had plotted to harm for a long time."
First Madame was naturally on Luo Mingshi's side, so she immediately asked Fourth Concubine who was sitting down on the floor, "Second Miss said that you took the initiative to look for her, is there anything wrong with you?"
Fourth Concubine thought to herself, this kind of thing can be discovered easily, so she might as well admit it. She then said: "It's just that I never thought that the two of you actually harboured malicious intentions, and that it was the two of you who harmed me."
"Even if you didn't plan this beforehand, you did!" When the old mistress heard Fourth Concubine's words, she also became more aggressive and pointed the spearhead straight at her.
Luo Mingshi was silent for a moment, then ignored the old lady's words and asked the doctor: "Where are you from?"
No one understood why Luo Mingshi had asked such a question, and for a moment, they quietly watched the situation unfold.
Seeing that no one was stopping him, the doctor said honestly, "I am a doctor from the Eastern City Hall of Knowledge."
Luo Mingshi laughed when she heard this. How could this doctor use half an incense's time to rush from the east side of the city to my Luo Mansion, and then walk all the way to my Quiet House? "
Hearing that, Luoan'S Time's eyes flashed, the serious expression on his face disappeared, replaced with anger, the anger of being deceived.
The doctor was stumped. The servant girl who ran out to look for the doctor immediately interrupted, "I met this doctor midway."
"Oh? "Then how do you know he's a doctor when you meet him?" He then glanced at the doctor's medicine box and said, "There's no writing on the box."
The servant already felt a bit guilty, but since he had lied, he was not afraid to lie again. "I've seen this doctor before, so of course I know him."
After Luo Mingshi heard this, she suddenly came to a realization. She then turned and said: "Then the two of you probably ran into me at the back door of Luo Mansion. You only took half an incense worth of time to reach me."
Seeing Luo Mingshi suddenly being so considerate and thinking of an excuse for her, the servant shouted, "Yes, yes, we met at the back door."
Fourth Concubine felt like it was going to happen once she heard this, so she immediately said weakly: "Aunt, that tea, I started it after I drank that tea."
Luo Mingshi's eyes flashed. Indeed, it was as she had expected. But, she was afraid that this would disappoint Fourth Concubine, as the tea was cleaner than the Tianshan Snow.
When the madame heard this, she quickly told the doctor to check the tea on the table, and the doctor did as she was told.
He opened the lid of the pot and took a closer sniff. Then, he said with a shocked expression, "This tea, there's actually red flowers in the tea."
The red flower was a medicine that could cause a pregnant woman to miscarry, after drinking the tea, Fourth Concubine felt a stomachache, and fell to the ground. Everything made sense, but the result seemed to be obvious.
The old lady was the first to flare up and scolded Luo Mingshi, "You little brat, you are really cruel. You actually dared to make such a malicious move on Manyu and her children. But your wicked aunt? "
When Luo Mingshi heard this, her heart trembled, although this grandmother had never been fond of her, but was actually willing to give her a little face before, and be the wealthy and benevolent ancestor grandmother, because Fourth Concubine was pregnant recently, she had become more tyrannical and overbearing, even looking down on the younger generation. Now, she had directly scolded her aunt along with herself, if this were to spread out, how would a vicious woman, who had been scolded by her own grandmother, look at her?
Hearing that, First Madame frowned, but she immediately replied, "Enough." For a moment, the bustling Quiet House returned to silence, and Luoan'S Time immediately looked towards Luo Mingshi, her tone carrying a hint of gentleness and expectation: "Does Shier still have anything else to say?"
Luo Mingshi didn't want to look at her father, so she drooped her eyes, which were already moist. It turned out that her father was finally willing to stand by her side when she once again faced framing and injustice.
"If father trusts me, why don't we ask another doctor to come see us? I looked at the doctor furtively and did not believe him at all. "
Luoan'S Time's heart relaxed a little as he nodded. Another servant came by and said, "Go to the palace and invite Imperial Physician Qian over."
Imperial Physician Qian's medical skills were excellent. He was also an imperial physician in the palace, so naturally he was much more adept than this doctor. He wouldn't be bribed by anyone in the room, so it was only natural that he was the most impartial.
On the other side, the Fourth Concubine felt a little uneasy. When Imperial Physician Qian came, she had personally put red flowers in the tea cup. Naturally, she wasn't afraid of that.
He then heard from the Luoan'S Time: "Give them seats, I'm afraid they will have to wait for a while."
Once he said that, everyone understood that the Master did not wait for Imperial Physician Qian to arrive and did not allow anyone to leave. Even the doctor who was in cahoots with the Fourth Concubine trembled as she sat down, feeling apprehensive.
Just at this time, the Madame Li hurried over. Her footsteps were floating, and she had a look of worry on her face, probably because she heard about what happened over here.
She glanced at Luo Mingshi worriedly, but still bid farewell to the people present.
When the Luoan'S Time saw Madame Li, she stepped forward to support her and asked: "Why are you here?"
Madame Li said worriedly: "I was worried about the two ladies, so I couldn't help but come to take a look." With that, she looked at Luo Mingshi a few more times.
Luo Mingshi was moved, seeing Madame Li looking at her, she smiled at her in consolation.
Luoan'S Time also said: "If Shier is innocent, then nothing will happen to him. She has already sent someone to get the imperial physician."
Hearing that, Luo Mingshi did not say anything, and thought, if she had not been on guard, even if the imperial physician came, it would have been useless.
Fourth Concubine was currently the most embarrassed. She was originally just pretending to be a fool, and now that she was sitting here, she had nothing to do, but she was unwilling to leave just like that.
Just as she was at a loss on what to do, the Old Mistress quickly said, "Doctor, quickly come and see. Is our Fourth Concubine doing well?"
The doctor was someone that the Fourth Concubine had invited to collude with. Even without checking his pulse, he knew that the concubine's fetus must still be well at this moment.
