Except for those who could not arrive temporarily, all the descendants of the Pan family crowded into the Ronghua Hall.
Of course, only those who are usually favored by the old man can squeeze into the front.
Pan Lili, the old man's always favorite, squeezed to the front.
As soon as Pan Wenxiong entered the Ronghua Hall, he saw his mother-in-law, Ji, standing aside in despair, with red eyes but no tears.
Ji Shi also saw him and shook her head gently towards her son.
Pan Wenxiong paused, and instead of looking at his mother, he squeezed into the crowd.
Although he was born by a stepmother, he was also Mr. Pan's legitimate biological son, so Pan Wenxiong successfully squeezed into the front.
On the large box bed, Pan Chengmao was personally giving Pan Chengcai medicine, but the medicine juice poured in and flowed out from the corner of his lips. Pan Chengcai's face had turned blue-black, his eyes were closed tightly, and he looked unconscious.
Pan Chengmao shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work."
"Impossible! The old man's health has always been better than mine!" Pan Wenyao said with red eyes.
Pan Wenguang was a little absent-minded: "Yes, the old man has always been in good health."
"No matter how healthy you are, you can't resist uncontrolled indulgence." Pan Chengmao said again. He had already said it once.
Pan Wenguang, Pan Wenyao, and Pan Wenbao, Pan Chengcai's third son and Pan Wenxiong's third brother, all looked at Pan Wenxiong immediately after hearing this, with cold eyes, wanting to tear Pan Wenxiong into pieces.
Pan Wenxiong didn't care about their looks at all, but went up to them: "Uncle Cheng Mao, just use the best medicine."
Pan Chengmao shook his head: "The head of the family is not only overindulging in sexual pleasure, there is another reason..."
"Grandpa was actually poisoned! Mr. Ji is so cruel!" Pan Lili burst in angrily, and his spit almost missed Pan Wenxiong's face.
"Li'er is saying that my grandma was responsible for the poison?" Pan Wenxiong did not panic, but asked calmly.
"That's right!" Pan Lili's face was serious, "Uncle Cheng Mao personally tested the poison, and this is the medicine bag I found from Ji's room!" He said, raising the medicine bag in his hand.
Pan Wenxiong looked at the small medicine bag in Pan Lili's hand with some confusion.
He thought that the days ahead were long and he could figure out anything, but in the blink of an eye, everything turned upside down. Could it be that they already knew about their plot with Princess Huizhen, so they couldn't wait to fall out and let him die?
"If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?" came a female voice, and the crowd parted, slowly walking out of Ji's house.
She gave Pan Wenxiong a comforting look and shook her head at him.
Ji married Pan Chengcai at the age of fifteen, and gave birth to Pan Wenxiong at the age of sixteen. Now she is only thirty-seven years old. In addition, she is well-maintained and looks indifferent to the world, as if she was twenty-seven years old. woman.
Although her eyes were red now, she had no tears. But looking at Ji Ming like this makes people pity her.
"Who is idle and wants to blame you?" Pan Lili said angrily.
"I did not poison the master." Ji said, looking around at everyone, "but if you want my son to die, I can admit the crime, as long as you don't embarrass my son."
"Mother!" Pan Wenxiong trembled and ran to Ji's side, "You can't admit things you haven't done! If they want to come at me, they can come at me! I'm not afraid!"
"But mother is afraid!" Ms. Ji looked at Pan Wenxiong with pity. Her son was born really well, like her, not like Pan Chengcai. "You only have yourself, but there are a group of people in the Pan family."
"If you didn't do anything, how could we make things difficult for you!" Pan Lili said sternly.
"Li'er, don't talk nonsense until the matter is investigated clearly," Pan Wenyao said.
"This medicine bag was found in her room. I've already smelled it, and this is..."
"Aren't you guys allowed to enter my grandma's room whenever you want?" Pan Wenxiong said angrily, "Ever since she married into the Pan family, you have always suspected that she wanted to kill the old man. Have you ever had a day in these years? Didn't she search her room and restrict her freedom? How did she hide the poison in the room? "
Are the Pan family members afraid that Pan Chengcai will become old and confused and give all the good things to his mother? It's a pity that his mother-in-law has nothing but him!
His mother-in-law has nothing but the title of stepmother!
"Brother-in-law, everyone has been busy with grandfather's birthday banquet and welcoming Princess Huizhen these days. None of us have been to...'s room," Pan Lizhao said. Ji's identity has always been awkward in the Pan family. The younger generations don't want to call her their grandmother, but calling her "Ji's" directly makes them look unqualified. So every time Pan Lizhao had a problem with how to address Ji's family. But fortunately, Ji has always been a transparent person. She has almost no sense of presence in the Pan family, and everyone has almost no chance to address her face to face. In private, everyone calls Ji "that woman".
"Ha." Pan Wenxiong sneered, and just as he was about to speak, Ji shook his head at him, "Xiong'er, stop talking."
"Yesterday, the family owner gave the Ji family the sewing shop in the south of the city. Today, with the family owner's permission, she went to the south of the city. She was out for more than an hour." Suddenly, a weak voice came from the crowd.
It's the eldest wife Tian.
"The sewing shop in the south of the city is very profitable! Why did you give it to her!" Pan Lizhao exclaimed.
Pan Wenbao sneered: "Of course she used some underhanded tactics. Otherwise, why didn't the old man give her a shop in these years, but he gave it to her yesterday? There must be something fishy!"
"Since there is something fishy, report it to the official!" Pan Wenxiong's eyes were about to burst.
"Xiaosi! This is a scandal of the Pan family. Do you want the news about Ji's poisoning of the family head to spread throughout Cangzhou City?" Pan Wenbao said.
"But my mother-in-law did not harm my father!" Pan Wenxiong said loudly. He suddenly hated himself, why didn't he take the exam in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't have let these people step on his head now!
In fact, there was another reason why he didn't take the exam, and that was that he didn't want to leave Cangzhou City or Aniang's side. But he didn't expect that even though he was in Cangzhou City, Aniang still couldn't escape this fate.
"Xiong'er, calm down." Ji's voice was still gentle, "Yelling will not help."
She looked at Pan Wenyao and others: "I just said that as long as you don't embarrass my hero, I will admit this crime."
"Auntie, why are you doing this? Even if you don't admit this crime, I can take you away from the Pan family and we can live a good life!" Pan Wenxiong said.
Ji sighed: "Xiong'er, you can't fight them."
"You two, mother and son, don't show any affection between mother and son here. It seems like our Pan family is so cruel. If you are the one who hurt me, you are the one who hurt me. If it wasn't you, we, the Pan family, will never wrongly accuse a good person." Pan Wenguang said.
Pan Wenxiong's eyes turned red: "My mother-in-law has done no harm to anyone! Report to the official! I want to report to the official!" He knew that several other members of the Pan family were friends with Xu Zhizhou, but he was not afraid! No matter what happens, it would be better for him to live with his mother in the world than to live without her!
After thinking for a while, he turned around and told his mother: "Mom, don't do stupid things like seeking death! If you die, I will go with you!"
Ji Shi couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay."
Pan Wenguang, Pan Wenyao and Pan Wenbao exchanged glances, and finally Pan Wenguang said: "It's not impossible for the fourth brother to leave the Pan family with your mother, but he must cleanse himself and leave the house, and he can't ask for anything. Previously, it fell on you Those shops under my name, as well as the sewing shop that the old man gave to your grandma yesterday, will all be returned to the Pan family."
"Oh, although those shops are apparently under my name, don't they actually belong to my father? If you want them, just take them!" Pan Wenxiong said loudly.
Pan Wenyao coughed at this moment: "It's not good to drive the fourth brother out like this. After all, he is my father's biological flesh and blood... Otherwise, we should invite the clan elders to come over and discuss it..."
"It's just a small matter, why bother alarming the clan elders." Pan Wenbao said.
"Hey, Patriarch, Patriarch!" Pan Chengmao suddenly shouted.
The head of the Pan family is gone like this? Everyone looked at Pan Chengcai.
