"I'm just asking a bit more in detail, in case I missed out on something. But I don't have any evidence to support that. Big Sis, please don't make fun of me." Xie Jingxi laughed, then asked the wet nurse, "Does the medicine that the wet nurse drinks usually have someone sending it to her?"

"It was cooked in the medicine house. As usual, there's nothing out of the ordinary about it."

"There's nothing abnormal about it." Xie Jingxi held Xie Jingyi's hand, "Elder sister, do you have anything else to ask?"

Xie Jingyi smiled, "I've already asked you everything I need to ask, what else do I have to ask?"

Xie Jingyi was smart enough from start to finish, and since Xie Jingxi didn't say anything, she didn't ask. She only instructed Xiang Lan not to speak about the matter, and sent them away.

As for Ming Yu, she took advantage of Second Young Mistress's trouble just now to come to the front of Eldest Young Master Gu Yun's courtyard. Gu Yun's courtyard was different from other places. His courtyard was a little far away from the main courtyard, and could even be considered as a separate courtyard, but it was only surrounded by walls made of Marquis Mansion. However, there was another small door that led out of the residence.

Ming Yu came here last night as she was familiar with the route, the moment she appeared, someone reported to Gu Yun, and when Ming Yu arrived, Zhao Zhang who was beside her already came out, "It's Miss Ming Yu, your grandpa is currently using the medicinal wine, the wine that young lady sent over is really useful, it was only used once last night, today this grandpa has stopped burning, I was just about to go and thank you young ladies, why did Miss Ming Yu come over?"

Zhao Zhang smiled and replied, "Nothing much, this is our young miss was with the Second Young Madam and told me to come over and take a look at how Eldest Young Master is doing."

"Third Miss is kind, our young master is doing well."

"That's great. Yesterday, I was really lucky to have Eldest Young Master, and it only caused Eldest Young Master's illness. Our young miss is very sorry, but fortunately, all the Imperial Physician were there yesterday, so it's easy to take a look."

"That's right, His Majesty is a merciful man, I actually sent half of the Imperial Physician s over here yesterday with the Marquis Mansion. So it's for that big brother, our master is also basked in the glory, normally we are the ones who treat ourselves, yesterday it was our family's medicine shop that made the medicine and sent it over, but it's still all thanks to Third Miss's medicinal wine, or else it would have been so quick."

Ming Yu said again: It's precisely this medicinal wine, the anxiously delivered by us ladies yesterday, I didn't think too much about it. When I thought about it later, this medicinal wine's formula is very complicated, I think it might clash with the medicine used by the young master, so I came over today to see if there was any medicinal soup left over from yesterday. I brought some back for the young lady to see, so she can be at ease with giving it to the young master.

Zhao Zhang said in surprise, "There's actually such a reason? "You have to take a look. Just you wait, young lady. There are still some leftovers from the medicinal soup that I drank this morning. I'll go get it for young lady now."

Zhao Zhang then went to get the medicinal dregs. Ming Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, What kind of medicine is this lady trying to sell, to give me a bottle of wine and send me all these stories. I never heard that the medicinal wine and medicine could clash.

Zhao Zhang ran over to get the medicinal dregs, wrapped them up in a handkerchief, and gave them to Ming Yu. Ming Yu said apologetically: "It's really my young lady's fault for not thinking too much and causing trouble for Eldest Young Master. Actually, it should be alright, Eldest Young Master doesn't have to worry, it's just that you can rest assured."

"It's alright, our grandpa used the medicinal wine very well, thank you Third Miss."

Ming Yu said a few more words before leaving with the dregs in her arms. Zhao Zhang watched Ming Yu leave the courtyard with his eyes, and then turned to return to Gu Yun's study. At this time, Gu Yun was wearing his usual long sleeves and was reading and writing in his study room. Seeing Zhao Zhang enter, he did not even raise his head, "Is this girl here to ask about medicine?"

Zhao Zhang was startled, the master of his house was truly a god, "Your guess is correct, I do not know what the Third Miss is up to, what is he talking about, he said that he was afraid that the medicinal wine he sent yesterday would clash with the herbs, and that he would take some of the medicinal dregs that he brought yesterday, I still have not figured it out, this matter still has something to do with us."

Gu Yun put down his pen and sat down at the table. The medicinal wine that Xie Jingxi brought yesterday was placed neatly on the table. He took a glance and smiled: "How is the disturbance in Second Young Master's house?"

I heard that Second Young Mistress had gone crazy, and almost pulled Fourth Miss out of her slumber. It was the young mistress of Lu Family who intervened to stop the matter, and so the Second House only stopped now. I also heard that Young Mistress Lu had called out Big Brother's wet nurse, and asked for something.

Gu Yun was deep in thought. Of course he would not drink the medicine sent over by the medicine house, or else where would he leave medicinal dregs for Xie Jingxi. This little girl must have figured out the crux of the matter already, so she pretended to understand and let the people from Xie Family be confused.

"I'm afraid we've been tricked for no reason at all." Gu Yun sneered, "Then do we still have dregs of the medicine?"

"There's a lot. Didn't you give me another bowl this afternoon? I was just worried that I wouldn't have a place to pour it. Why would you …"

Gu Yun smirked. "Wrap it up and show it to the old man, then bring him a bowl of this medicine wine. Just fill it up with a little bamboo. If there's more, we can't give it to him.

Zhao Zhang was at a loss, he could only memorize every word, and quickly left the house.

When Xie Jingxi accompanied Lady Xu back to the manor, it was already past noon. Xie Jingxi went back to her room and asked Ming Yu: Is the matter settled?

Ming Yu took out three layers, three layers, and three layers of medicinal dregs from her bag, "Hey, I haven't vomited all this way. What exactly did this young master drink?"

Xie Jingxi rolled his eyes at her, "You have so many things to say, how can there be medicine that smells good?"

Xie Jingxi took out the medicinal dregs and placed them on the table. She separated them into different categories based on their taste, and carefully distinguished every type of medicine, Ming Yu watched curiously by the side. She did not see any reason, she did not even know when the young miss had added the ability to differentiate medicine. In the end, she saw Xie Jingxi picking out some dregs from the dregs that looked exactly the same to her. It was pitch black as she said, "What kind of girl is this, could it be that she can really clash with our medicinal wine?"

Xie Jingxi smiled and did not speak. She had guessed correctly, her brother's death was indeed not an accident. As for the red lines around her eyes, it was actually not a deep red, but a little green and black instead. Xie Jingxi intentionally said this because she was afraid that the wet nurse would not be able to see the color clearly in her panic. It was just that the color was a little dark, and it would be easy to mislead her if she said that it was green and black.

Therefore, even if someone found out about it later, they would not be able to detect anything amiss. However, the person who placed the medicine on them probably did not expect Xie Jingqi to hug his big brother for so long that he would not be able to retrieve the grave. Some characteristics that would only be discovered a few hours after death were seen by her.

If it was used on Gu Yun's medicine, it would be normal. But if the child were to drink it, the child would have a stronger body and would be able to rescue her in time. There would probably be some hope of survival.

Even the methods used were so ingenious that they were hard to detect, but was this person's goal Xie Family or was it Marquis Mansion? With such meticulous thought, who exactly was it that did this?

Xie Jingxi remained quiet, but the Marquis Mansion was not that quiet. It was unknown which ignorant girl spoke to the Second Young Madam on the premise that things like how it was strange for Big Brother to go and whether the medicine that the wet nurse drank would be alright. With Xie Jingqi's temper, it was natural that they would not be able to let go of each other. Gu Heng almost died from anger, and on the spot, he sent the talkative girl to the manor.

Gu Heng had finally calmed Xie Jingqi down, and after getting provoked by a little girl, he almost wanted to hit a few of them to vent his anger. Amidst his anger, he vaguely remembered that Xie Jingxi had reminded him about it that day, and after hearing that she and the young lady had asked the young mistress about it, he felt that there really was something going on, so he called a attendant in front of him and said, "Go and take a look at the Xie Clan, there's still a master who can speak, it's good to come over and persuade Second Young Madam."

The attendant quickly went to the Xie Clan. Xie Cen was not at home, and the Lady Xu was resting, as if the only person he could find was the Third Miss. Then, the attendant could no longer care about whether the Third Miss was reliable or not.

After Xie Jingxi heard this, she raised her eyelids, and continued flipping through the books in her hands, "Go tell the gatekeeper that I'm resting now that I'm tired."

After the messenger left, Ming Yu said: "Young miss has done a good job. The Gu family's business, it doesn't matter to us. Moreover, Second young miss is not a person who values favors. If you go, you might even get scolded by her."

Xie Jingxi just did not want to see Gu Heng, not to mention the matters in his room, what did it matter if she went.

As expected, when Gu Heng heard this, he felt a little disappointed. In the end, he was the one who had been selfish enough to want to see her, but it was not appropriate at all.

If it was said that Gu Heng was like a frosted eggplant after the incident with her big brother, and had gone from a proud and high-spirited young master to a grieving wife in one night, then Second Young Mistress's energy was like someone who had eaten all kinds of tonics. It looked more like the effects of the Soul-Returning Pill that she had given birth to still remained.

"Whatever you do, stop me!" If my Marquis Mansion is clean, then why are you afraid of others investigating it for you? My big brother was fine yesterday, how did he suddenly disappear, do you think that I, Xie Jingqi, am dead?

Xie Jingqi had just posted a whole round of questions in the afternoon, and her power was still there. She had smashed all the broken bottles on the floor, and no one dared to step forward, afraid that they would be like the Second Branch Fourth Miss, dragged into the mess.

"It's alright, what are you doing!?" That little girl, who knows who sent her to sow discord, but you actually believed her. If you want to investigate, then do it. What are you doing throwing things around! "
