Chapter 294 Of course I have to add fuel to her fire
Zhao Xinfeng looked at Xie Yunshu and said, "Master Zhao, Yunshu has never done this. Even before she had a miscarriage, I didn't know she was pregnant."
After listening to what Yunshu said, Zhao Xinfeng felt that compared to Qu Xueruo who had no evidence at all, he trusted Xie Yunshu more.
Qu Xueruo cried, "Master Zhao, it must be her. She and I are in charge of the household together. After eating breakfast today, I felt uncomfortable in my stomach. Who would have thought that after a while..."
After saying this, Qu Xueruo started crying again. The child she had conceived with great difficulty passed away without her even knowing it.
How could Qu Xueruo not be sad? The imperial physician said that she was injured and it would be difficult for her to recover in the future.
Yun Shu said, "Master Zhao, I still say the same thing. I didn't do it. She suspected that I ordered the kitchen staff to do it. You can call them in and interrogate them one by one. Please prove Yun Shu's innocence."
Qu Xueruo said: "The people in the kitchen are all yours, and they don't tell the truth at all."
These people in the mansion will do things for whoever gives them money. Can they tell the truth?
Yun Shu looked at Qu Xueruo and said, "Master Zhao is here, they dare not tell the truth."
Zhao Xinfeng called the kitchen staff to question them one by one, and they all protested that they had never done anything.
Zhao Xinfeng asked, "Where is the leftover food from today's breakfast?"
He wanted to send someone to test the poison, and saw that the breakfast in the Marquis' Mansion was not much better than that of ordinary people. The rumor that the Marquis' Mansion was out of money seemed to be true.
After testing one by one, no signs of poison were found in the remaining food.
Seeing this, Yun Shu said, "Grandma, Lord Zhao, can I leave now?"
Qu Xueruo was not poisoned at all. She was just sad about losing her child and wanted to find someone to take the blame for her.
Qu Xueruo shouted: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Why wasn't there any poison? Then how did her child die?
Zhao Xinfeng asked, "Did Mrs. Xie come into contact with anything else this morning?"
The poison is not always in the food.
Qu Xueruo shouted: "I also had a bowl of bird's nest this morning."
She has been eating bird's nest in recent days.
When Mrs. Xie heard that Qu Xueruo had eaten bird's nest, she was puzzled. The Qu family didn't have much wealth, so why would they buy bird's nest for Qu Xueruo?
Qu Xueruo ignored the doubt on Madam Xie's face and said hurriedly, "I have been eating it for many days in a row. There is no problem."
Zhao Xinfeng said: "Mrs. Xie, please take us to check it out."
To be on the safe side, don't let go of anything you touch.
Qu Xueruo asked someone to bring over the remaining bird's nests. When Mrs. Xie took a look, she found that they were all top-grade blood bird's nests.
When Li Yuling was alive, her favorite food was blood bird's nest.
No wonder Qu Xueruo could eat it. She thought it was bought with Qu Xueruo’s own money, but it turned out to be obtained from the dead Li Yuling.
Zhao Xinfeng asked his servant to take it for inspection: "Where did Madam Xie buy this bird's nest?"
Qu Xueruo was too embarrassed to answer that she found it in Li Yuling's private vault, so she could only say, "I bought it at the market."
Yun Shu knew the whole story. It seemed that Qu Xueruo was also a person who loved face and liked to take advantage of others.
You still have the nerve to say that you bought it yourself.
Can she afford it? Can the Qu family afford it?
I'm afraid I've only seen other people eat it.
Although Zhao Xinfeng was very confused as to why such a good bird's nest was being sold in the market, that was not the key to solving the case.
The most important thing now is to see if this bird's nest is poisonous.
The servant brought back the result, which was that this bird's nest contained a small amount of safflower, and eating more of it could help in activating blood circulation.
It seems that Qu Xueruo had been taking this medicine for a while, which led to the loss of the baby in her belly.
Now the truth is revealed, except that it was Mrs. Xie who ate the safflower herself.
Zhao Xinfeng looked at the result and asked, "Mrs. Xie, the most urgent task now is to catch the person who sold you the blood swallow."
Bird's nests are usually eaten by women, but this man was so ambitious that he sprinkled red flowers on them. It seems that he wanted to make women childless.
If that's the case, there must be other victims.
After hearing what Zhao Xinfeng said, Qu Xueruo was so frightened that she almost couldn't stand. If her mother hadn't been there to support her, Qu Xueruo felt that she would have fainted.
Mother Qu asked anxiously, "Xue Rou, thank the Marquis for buying the bird's nest. Tell Lord Zhao that we will go and settle the account with him."
Qu's mother thought that Xie Liangping loved her daughter and bought the bird's nest for her. But this man actually sold her daughter the blood bird's nest with red flowers. What kind of hatred is this? He probably didn't want his daughter to get pregnant.
Qu Xueruo's face turned pale. She had no idea what to do.
Seeing Qu Xueruo's pale expression, Yun Shu had to add fuel to the fire. He said, "There is no list of bird's nests purchased in the mansion. Madam Qu didn't buy them out of her own pocket, did she?"
After hearing this, Qu's mother understood the crux of the matter. The Qu family simply could not afford the blood swallows.
They were not bought by the Xie family, so where did these bird’s nests come from?
Could it be that it was given by the Marquis’ colleague?
This Mrs. Qu was really thoughtful. If Yun Shu knew what she was thinking, he would complain that she didn't understand her daughter, because these bird's nests were snatched back from the mouths of the dead by her daughter.
Qu Xueruo had just had a miscarriage and was not in good health. The bird's nest stimulated her lower abdomen and she felt a sharp pain. She suddenly felt as if her stomach was run over by a car. It was so painful.
A lot of blood flowed out again, and the court doctor was called back.
When he saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel angry. Wasn't he told to stay in bed and rest? How could he rest with so many people here?
Of course he didn't dare to blame his master. After taking Qu Xueruo's pulse, he saw that she had fainted from the pain and said, "Madam, it's okay. I'll go and boil some medicine for you."
With so much blood lost, it seems that it will be difficult for my wife to have children in the future.
Yun Shu said, "Master Zhao, there is nothing more for me to do. Yun Shu will take his leave."
When Qu's mother saw Xie Yunshu was about to leave, she grabbed Yunshu's arm and said, "Xie Yunshu, was it you who was responsible for the bird's nest incident?"
Yun Shu pulled away the hand that Madam Qu was holding on her arm and patted the place where she had touched. It was so dirty. It seemed that she could not keep the dress when she returned home.
"Mrs. Qu, can you ask the maidservant beside your daughter if I gave her this bird's nest?"
Yes, although Xue Rou fainted, the maid serving her should know where the bird’s nest came from.
Zhao Xinfeng called the maid who usually served Qu Xueruo and asked, "Where did your wife get the bird's nest from?"
The maid had never seen Zhao Xinfeng before and her body was shaking like a sieve.
Zhao Xinfeng looked at the maid. Could there be something wrong with the source of the bird's nest?
Old Madam Xie already knew from the maid's body language that the origin of the bird's nest was not clear, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. Old Madam Xie felt that she could guess where the bird's nest came from.
Just as she was about to stop the maid from speaking out, Zhao Xinfeng shouted, "Tell the truth, or you will be punished by law."
