Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 559 How to Check

The third wife was not in a hurry. Her two sons had died, but she had held on until now and had not collapsed, simply because she was thinking of her poisoned daughter who needed care.

After pondering for a moment, the eldest wife asked, "Since it's kidney essence deficiency, can it be treated by replenishing kidney essence?"

"Of course, but," Doctor Lin paused, "the young masters have been ingesting the poison for too long, and the damage to their bodies is too great. There is little hope of a complete recovery.

In addition, the arsenic poisoning this time has exacerbated the damage to the body, but hopefully it won't be too severe. My advice is to find the specific source of the poison so we can use more targeted medication."

Song Ying thought for a moment and added, "For so many years, no one has noticed. This shows how hidden the poison is. Even if she's dead, the young masters are likely still ingesting it. If we don't cut off the source, even the best medicine will be useless."

The two ladies were a little surprised. This disease involved men's private parts, and she, an unmarried girl, could talk about it so calmly.

In just a moment, their surprise was replaced by worry.

"Hey, we also want to find the source of the poison as soon as possible, but we have searched the house from top to bottom these days, especially the kitchen and Yonghui's yard. We almost turned the whole place upside down, but we can't find it at all."

Song Ying pursed her lips and analyzed, "Although she goes to the main kitchen from time to time, if she often comes into contact with the food of the young masters, it will definitely alert Mother Fang and the others. She has even less chance of coming into contact with it in the young masters' courtyards, so she shouldn't need to administer the poison herself."

The Second Wife was startled. "Are you saying that there are accomplices of hers in the mansion?"

The eldest wife also gasped. This would make it even harder to find.

Everyone in the mansion avoided her. The only maid who served her, Hongfu, had been sold out long ago. Oh, no, that was just what was said to the outside world. In fact, the grass on her grave had grown very tall.

How do I check this?

Song Ying also felt confused. Because the Shen family was very generous with their monthly wages, the servants were very loyal and disliked Concubine Lian, the bad apple. They even tried their best to avoid passing by her door. He really didn't know who might be her person.

She thought that if she had not lived in the Shen Mansion for only a few years, she might have been suspected as the only person close to Aunt Lian.

"If we can't find it inside the mansion, then we'll search outside. Didn't she say that this method was told to her by a woman in the brothel? If we can find this woman, we'll naturally know the source of the poison."

The eldest wife sighed, "This is the only way now. Well, we've considered this method, but firstly, so many years have passed, and we're not sure if the woman is still around. Secondly, we know nothing about her life, so we really don't know which brothel she met in."

Song Ying did not respond. As long as he wanted to investigate, he would always find clues. From what Aunt Lian said that day, he could conclude that she knew about the poison before going to the capital, so at least the brothels in the capital could be ruled out.

Combined with the life story of Shen Zhuangyuan, Aunt Lian was probably sold in Qingshui County or Shunqing Prefecture.

In order to avoid being noticed by his neighbors, he would probably instruct them to sell it somewhere else, most likely the provincial capital.

Of course, it may also be sold elsewhere.

But if you have a direction, you will find it sooner or later.

A few days later, the effects on the several young masters of the Shen family who had taken the medicine were very weak, and they continued to ingest poison. It could be said that their fate was certain.

Not only that, Doctor Lin suggested taking the pulse of the second and third masters, and found that they also had kidney essence deficiency.

Everyone in the Shen Mansion was in a panic, and the servants hurried to find a doctor to take their pulses. Except for a few who also had kidney deficiency, most people were normal, and the restless hearts calmed down a little.

But the masters were in a bad mood, so they had to be careful when serving them. Their lives were not much better. For a moment, the little sympathy they had felt for Concubine Lian that day disappeared, and they began to curse her for being crazy again.

As a result, some people began to talk about Doctor Lin behind her back, saying that she was all show and no substance. Although she had been mainly responsible for the old lady's illness in recent years, other masters in the mansion would sometimes ask her to take their pulses and diagnose them, but she didn't notice anything unusual.

When Song Ying heard this as she passed by, she was furious. If she hadn't considered losing face for the eldest lady and the others, she would have wanted to rush out and argue with them.

Not to mention that the male members of the Shen family seldom go to the master for medical treatment. In recent years, the grandchildren's wives have not been pregnant, so Princess Shun'an and Shen Zhuangyuan are also very anxious.

But they all naturally attributed the cause to the young ladies. Song Ying heard more than once that the ladies scolded their daughters-in-law as hens that lay no eggs, and the mansion never stopped giving them medicine.

Sometimes, when the master was treating a certain young master, he would notice that he was suffering from kidney deficiency and would tactfully inform County Lady Shun'an to take care of her grandson's sexual affairs. However, County Lady Shun'an doted on her grandson too much and only said a few words without further ado.

Sometimes they would directly blame their grandchildren's wives, saying that they were incompetent and could not control their husbands.

Besides, she was very concerned about her reputation. Her friends repeatedly told her that her grandsons were promiscuous, which made her lose face. After so many times, the master stopped mentioning it.

They would even rather believe that it is the bad feng shui in their home that affects their offspring.

Of course, looking at it now, romanticism is one aspect, but the more important thing is poison.

But this cannot be blamed on the master. After all, the young masters are young and playboys, so it is normal for them to have kidney deficiency. And the old masters are old and it is also normal for them to have no children.

For no apparent reason, who would have thought it was poisoning.

Unable to rush out to refute, Song Ying turned around and advised his master to move out as soon as possible to avoid her getting angry if she heard it one day.

Doctor Lin didn't know the reason, and since the Shen family needed a doctor right now, she would not move out right now.

Song Ying went to tell Xiaolu and the others about it, and used them to tell the eldest lady, the head of the family.

No matter what the eldest lady and the others thought, now was the time when they needed a doctor, so they naturally would not offend the doctor and would keep the servants' mouths shut.

What Song Ying wanted was that these unpleasant words would not reach his master's ears.

The affairs of the Shen Mansion were temporarily unbusy, and Song Ying finally made time to return to the village with the Shu brocade clothes for Li.

She always kept her master's teachings in mind and did everything openly. Naturally, she had to go back in person for this opportunity to show her filial piety.

Halfway through, someone working in the fields by the roadside recognized her and greeted her with a smile, "Hey, isn't this the Song family's little genius doctor? The woman from the Luo family said you've been very busy lately. How did you find time to go back?"

Song Ying smiled and said, "I was busy recently, and I've only had a few days off. I haven't been home for a long time, so I have to go back and visit grandma and the others."
