The old lady Xia panicked for a moment. Although she had plans, she was just an old lady in the country. She had never encountered such a situation, so she didn't know how to deal with it.
But thinking of her son, she quickly armed herself again.
The old lady Xia knelt down with tears in her eyes, and cried, "Miss Lu, I'm not afraid that you will harm me. I'm an old bone. I'm not afraid of death. I just can't bear you to feed me personally, my son." I have done such bad things to you, how can I accept such care from you, I am ashamed."
After the old lady Xia finished speaking, she kowtowed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally knocked over your medicine bowl, it's all the old woman's fault."
Mrs. Xia blushed from knocking her forehead a few times, plus what she said.
Many patients in Baohetang quickly forgave her, saying that she didn't mean it.
Lu Jiao didn't wait for others to say, and helped the old lady Xia: "Get up, old lady, you are ruining my life. How can you kowtow to me casually at your age? Get up, since you are old My wife is not afraid that I will harm you, that’s fine, by the way, buddy, bring the medicine and let the old lady take it home and cook it herself.”
Although many people on the field sympathized with Mrs. Xia, some shrewd people still became suspicious. Did Mrs. Xia really miss it?
Lu Jiao was too lazy to deal with the old lady Xia, and when Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu rented a room, she ordered the two of them: "Send the old lady there to rest first, and later I will send Uncle Li to take care of the old lady until she recovers." as long as it's good."
Li Wenbin is not a good guy, and the mother who raised him is not much better.
Poor people must have something to hate, so she doesn't sympathize with this old lady Xia at all.
Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu responded by helping Mrs. Xia to the rental house.
Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin got into the Xie family's carriage and went all the way back to Xie's house.
On the way, Lu Jiao turned her head to look at Xie Yunjin, and said unhurriedly, "The visitor is not kind."
Xie Yunjin frowned and didn't speak for a long time. Lu Jiao stared at him and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
"I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter. The Xia family is an old lady from the country. Even if she has some tricks, she wouldn't hit my carriage with such precision, and even know to set up a trick to live in my house?"
After listening to Xie Yunjin's words, Lu Jiao knew that his analysis was correct, that Xia's appearance was because someone gave her a trick behind the scenes, who?
"Could it be that the four major surnames made it, the main criminals of the Liang and Cao families were beheaded, and the rest were assigned to the northwest to serve as labor slaves, and the women were sent to the military camp as slaves. Even if the two families wanted to, they were powerless, but the Zhang family and the Wang family, the main criminals were beheaded. , but the rest were let go, could it be that those people harbored resentment and instigated Old Madam Xia to deal with us behind the scenes."
Xie Yunjin thought for a while, then nodded: "It's possible, we can send people to watch Xia Shi, if she meets those people, she will definitely show some clues."
"Okay, I'll let Uncle Li take care of her, and keep an eye on her by the way."
"Um."
The carriage went all the way back to Xie's house. Although Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were in a bad mood because of Mrs. Xia's incident, when they got home, they both let go of these bad emotions and had a happy meal with the four little guys.
The four little ones told them about today's class. Although they were all trivial things, the two adults listened with great interest, which made the four little ones more interested in telling them these things.
This is a topic that their family must talk about every night. The family happily talks about trivial things, but everyone feels happy and happy.
Lu Jiao transferred Li Nantian to take care of Mrs. Xia that night, mainly to monitor her.
"It's no accident that this Xia family came here to take revenge on us, but she is an old lady in the country, she can't do such things logically, so there must be someone behind her, just keep an eye on her, see If she is in contact with anyone, if she finds out, come back and report to me immediately."
Li Nantian replied respectfully: "This subordinate obeys."
He turned around and went to take care of Mrs. Xia.
For several days in a row, Mrs. Xia didn't see anyone else, and stayed in her room to keep her body healthy all day long. It seemed that she did all of the previous episodes by herself.
Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao still don't quite believe that she can come up with such a design, they can only say that the person hiding behind is very deep.
That night, Li Nantian came back to report: "Old Madam Xia wanted to see the young master, she said that her son did such bad things to the young master back then, which made her feel deeply guilty as a mother, and she wanted to apologize to the young master face to face. "
As soon as Li Nantian said, Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin, the two people's eyes met, and it was clear that Mrs. Xia finally couldn't hold back and wanted to do something.
Lu Jiao quickly said: "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must not have the intention to guard against others. We must take countermeasures."
After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Li Nantian and said, "You immediately go to Catcher Zhao and ask him to come over."
Li Nantian walked out in response. It was getting late at this time, and Catcher Zhao happened to be having dinner at home. Hearing Li Nantian's words, he rushed over immediately: "Yun Jin, what happened?"
Xie Yunjin told about Mrs. Xia's story, and then said: "I suspect that Mrs. Xia hates me because of her son and wants to plot against me, so I ask Zhao Butou to take a few people to hide outside the window. If she really plots against me , so that Catcher Zhao and the county government can be witnesses."
"it is good."
Catcher Zhao agreed without saying a word, turned around and went out to find his underlings.
Soon a group of people gathered together and went to the rental house near Baohetang.
In the rented room, a dim lamp was lit. The old lady Xia stood beside the lamp, her brows and eyes were full of gloom, and the already skinny person was covered by a layer of bleak light, which made people feel creepy for no reason, but it was very Soon a smile appeared on her face.
It's just that that smile didn't make people feel warm at all, on the contrary it only made people feel stiff, like a walking dead.
"Yun Jin is here, and Miss Lu is here too."
After the words fell, she laughed, her laughter was sharp and weird.
"I invite you to come here today, mainly to apologize to Yun Jin. My son has done a lot of things that I'm sorry to you. My wife apologizes to you on his behalf."
After the old lady Xia finished speaking, she turned around and took a bowl of water from the table and knelt down in front of Xie Yunjin: "If you forgive my son, my wife, I will have no regrets even if I die."
Xie Yunjin hurriedly backed away, no matter what Xia Shi planned to do, she was at this age.
Lu Jiao quickly reached out to take the bowl from Mrs. Xia's hand, passed it to her nose and sniffed it.
The old lady Xia didn't react, Lu Jiao had already snatched the bowl, and soon she stared at the old lady Xia with an ugly face.
"Mr. Xia, you are so brave that you actually put medicine in your tea? Are you resentful and want to take revenge because of your son?"
