Chapter 191 It was Miss Liu who ordered
Xue Wanxian rushed into the inner room and saw Nanny Chen lying on the ground with a broken porcelain plate and snacks scattered on the ground beside her.
Zhang even fell beside the stool in front of the dressing table. Her forehead was scratched and a lot of blood was flowing out, but because it was too long, the blood had dried on her face.
The candles in the room burned out for some reason, and the inner room was dim. Two people were lying there, one of them had blood on his face. The scene looked extremely terrifying.
Xue Wanxian was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, but soon he realized that the person was his mother.
Xue Wanxian walked to Zhang with a trembling body. He first touched Zhang's face tentatively. Finding that it was still warm, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he sniffed her breath.
After confirming that Zhang was still alive, Xue Wanxian collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Someone come, someone come quickly! Call the doctor over!" Xue Wanxian shouted outside.
Fortunately, when he came, he brought his guard Xue Qing with him.
However, because this was Zhang's inner hall, Xue Qing stood outside, waiting to see what happened inside.
He didn't know what was going on inside. Only when he heard Xue Wanxian's heart-wrenching cries did he run in anxiously.
As a result, as soon as he entered the room, he saw people lying on the ground, and Xue Qing was also shocked.
He didn't care about anything else and ran inside following Xue Wanxian's voice.
When Xue Qing saw Xue Wanxian holding Zhang with blood on her face, he was so frightened that he froze.
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go find a doctor right away?!" Xue Wanxian calmed down and soon yelled at Xue Qing.
After a period of chaos, Zhang had been changed into new clothes, the blood and dust on her face had been wiped clean, and she was lying on the bed.
"Doctor, what is going on? Why did my mother become like this?" Xue Wanxian looked anxiously at the doctor who was taking Zhang's pulse.
"Don't be anxious, my lord. I will take a closer look." The person who came was Doctor Yang, who was highly respected by everyone in the Lin'an Marquis's Mansion.
After a long time, Doctor Yang let go of his hand, but his pale brows were tightly furrowed and his expression was very solemn.
"My Lord, there is something wrong with the old lady's situation."
"What's going on, Doctor Yang? Tell me." Xue Wanxian had a bad feeling.
"My lord, the old lady's condition is probably a stroke, and it's quite serious. I'm afraid that even if she wakes up, she won't be able to carry out normal activities." Doctor Yang shook his head and spoke heavily.
"What? Can't carry out normal activities?" Upon hearing this answer, Xue Wanxian's eyes widened, unable to react.
"Yes, the old lady's health has not been very good. She needs to avoid certain foods, especially meat and greasy food. I remember reminding the Marquis and his wife before. Oh no, I reminded Miss An Qingqian. At that time, Miss An also followed my instructions and rarely gave the old lady meat.
Now, I don’t know what’s going on, the old lady has started eating these things that she shouldn’t eat, and they are even greasier than usual.”
"Is that all?" Xue Wanxian looked at the unconscious person on the bed and still couldn't believe it was true.
He suddenly remembered that when he had just returned, Zhang had complained to him, saying that An Qingqian had treated her harshly.
But Doctor Yang also said that we should avoid meat, fish, and greasy foods.
But wasn't there an order at the time not to send these things to Changshou Hall anymore? Why did it become like this?
When were these things sent back to Changshou Hall?
"Someone, call the kitchen manager over to me!"
Xue Wanxian's eyes were full of red bloodshot, looking extremely terrifying.
The kitchen manager was quickly brought over. He was a fat middle-aged man.
The man saw Xue Wanxian's terrifying appearance and Zhang lying unconscious on the bed. He realized something was wrong and immediately knelt on the ground, "My Lord, what happened?"
"Didn't An Qingqian tell us not to send any more greasy food to Changshou Hall? Why did you send it again? Are you trying to murder the old lady on purpose?"
Xue Wanxian was anxious and angry. Looking at the man in front of him, he wanted to go up and kill him with a single blow.
"Yes, it was Miss Liu who said that the old lady is old and should eat more fatty food. Such food is better for the old lady, so we sent them here. Nanny Chen and the old lady never said anything."
The steward was so frightened by Xue Wanxian's eyes that he trembled with fear and quickly told him everything.
"What? You said that these were all ordered by Liu Yiyi?" Xue Wanxian moved his lips and spoke in disbelief.
"I dare not lie. It was Miss Liu who ordered me to do so. Nanny Wang also heard it at the time. If you do not believe me, please call Nanny Wang. I dare not lie to you."
Nanny Wang was brought over quickly, and she said the same thing as the steward, saying that all this was ordered by Liu Yiyi.
Xue Wanxian just stood there in a daze, his hands clenched into fists.
"She told you to send it, and you did it. Are you Liu Yiyi's people, or the Lin'an Marquis Mansion's people?" Xue Wanxian cursed.
"But, everyone in the palace knows that the Marquis dotes on Miss Liu the most. Miss Liu even gave birth to a child for the Marquis, which makes her even more favored. We are just servants, how dare we disobey the master's orders?"
"Besides, Nanny Chen and the old lady never said anything. I thought this was something that Miss Liu and the old lady had discussed."
The kitchen manager lowered his head and muttered tremblingly.
"Liu Yiyi!" Xue Wanxian's eyes were filled with anger. He really didn't expect that this was done by Liu Yiyi. Liu Yiyi knew that Zhang couldn't eat meat, but she still deliberately asked someone to send it to her. She simply wanted to kill Zhang.
"Where's Nanny Chen? Where did she go? She knew these things were not good, but as someone close to my mother, she was so negligent. She deserves to die!"
Xue Wanxian was so angry that he forgot that Nanny Chen had fainted and had not yet woken up.
"My lord, Nanny Chen hasn't woken up yet." Xue Qing answered from the side.
Xue Wanxian was so angry that he smashed all the teapots and teacups on the table to the ground.
"My Lord, there is one more thing. Although the old lady ate these things and it was harmful to her body, it was not enough to make her faint here today."
Doctor Yang watched Xue Wanxian finish venting his anger before continuing to speak.
"Anything else? Tell me." Xue Wan forced himself to suppress his anger.
"The main reason why the old lady fainted today was because she was poisoned."
"Poisoned?"
"That's right. The old lady was poisoned, which caused her to become unconscious and faint on the ground." Doctor Yang nodded.
