Shen Zhonglei glanced over and his expression changed drastically when he saw the doll covered in needles.
The eight-character cloth strip on the doll's body has been removed and placed alone next to it.
Although Shen Zhonglei couldn't remember Ping Niang's exact horoscope, he could tell by looking at the year and month of her birth.
After looking at the doll and then looking at the medicine bottle aside, he had a bad premonition in his heart. Could it be that he was accidentally cursing Ping Niang and wanted to drug her?
"Is Pingniang okay?" Shen Zhonglei asked anxiously.
"This is the reincarnation medicine."
"Rebirth medicine?" Shen Zhonglei raised his head suddenly, thinking that he heard wrongly, but when he saw the serious expression on Old Mrs. Shen's face, he immediately realized that something was wrong. No wonder the old lady would call him back even though he was dealing with official business. .
"She has been eating it for a while. She had a miscarriage, gave birth to a freak, and even tried to kill herself." Old Mrs. Shen sighed and said, "It's all my fault. I thought I was pregnant." Fortunately, if you have people around you, you don't have to pay attention to everything.
"Who would have thought that those two people who failed to achieve success but failed more than failed, not only did not notice anything was wrong and came back to tell me immediately, but they actually helped Han Qiao...
"Such a big thing happened in the back house. Mom is really sorry for you!"
Mrs. Shen burst into tears as she spoke.
Shen Zhonglei said hurriedly: "This is a coincidence of committing suicide. How can you blame the mother? It is already unfilial to ask the mother to work for the rear house when the son is so old. If the mother continues to blame herself like this, the son will really have to do it." There is no place to be ashamed of.”
"Now Hanqiao is gone, but I have asked people to detain and take care of everyone in her room. You can decide for yourself how to interrogate and deal with them.
"By the way, Dr. Zhang came here to diagnose Hanqiao's pulse. He already knows about the rebirth medicine, and I guess Mrs. Tong will also learn about it sooner or later.
"But Dr. Zhang said he would keep it a secret and even made a few remarks. I don't know if he can be trusted."
"Don't worry, mother, Madam Tong's character is still trustworthy, and she has no need to be my enemy.
"To say the least, they have no evidence in their hands. If they dare to go out and talk nonsense, they must first be punished for the crime of deceiving the public with their lies."
When Old Mrs. Shen heard what he said, she felt a lot more at ease. She sighed and said, "It's pity that my unborn grandson was harmed by this stupid and poisonous woman Hanqiao."
She had been tense before, but now that she saw her son back, she felt as if she had finally found someone to rely on. Her nose became sore and tears fell down.
He is such a good son and has such good conditions in all aspects. Why is he so unlucky when it comes to marriage and children?
Could it be that worshiping Buddha is not pious enough?
Old Mrs. Shen has already begun to think about it. She has been walking to Wuchang Mansion for so long, but she has never gone to the temple to offer incense.
I have to ask someone quickly when I go back and find a temple with a lot of incense to burn incense. It is best to ask for a fortune teller to find out what went wrong.
After leaving the old lady's room, Shen Zhonglei went back to the room to rest. Unexpectedly, he saw Shen Tianshu waiting for him in the room.
"Shu'er, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
"Dad, I didn't know what the reincarnation medicine was before. I didn't know until I went back and asked Grandma Yang." Shen Tianshu said straight to the point.
Shen Zhonglei said: "These matters are not for children to take care of. The old lady and dad will take care of them."
Shen Tianshu said, "Dad, Doctor Zhang reminded us today, so I thought about it carefully after I went back, and I always felt that it was not that simple."
"Oh? Why isn't this a simple method?" Shen Zhonglei was very tired when he came back from the road. After learning about this from the old lady, he didn't have much time to think about it.
"I heard that there was a big fuss over the reincarnation drug back then. Many people died in the imperial court because of it, and many doctors and women were exiled.
“So in the following years, even if there were people who wanted to make money through reincarnation, they would find other ways, and no one would dare to mention the word reincarnation medicine.
"So my daughter feels that it is very strange that Aunt Guo took the reincarnation drug.
"To put it bluntly, my father was transferred from Yongzhou Prefecture to Wuchang Prefecture. In the eyes of outsiders, not only is he not worthy of envy, but he might even be a bit sympathetic. Who would come here to add insult to injury at this time?"
Shen Zhonglei smiled helplessly when he was told that, but he had to admit that his daughter was right.
He had been working hard to become an official in Beijing, but now he was suddenly transferred to Wuchang Mansion. Although his rank was promoted by half a level, in the eyes of outsiders, it was basically a rise and fall, which might even delay his future future.
Apart from anything else, it can be seen from the fact that Mrs. Shen has been depressed in the past few months, claiming to be ill and unwilling to take care of the housework.
He didn't have any big grudges with anyone before, and now he doesn't stand in other people's way.
Moreover, he would be transferred to Wuchang Mansion. He didn't even hear about it before the decree came down. How could someone deliberately re-create the reincarnation medicine just to harm him?
This matter cannot be completed overnight from the beginning to the subsequent planning. Did those people know from the beginning that the aunt in his house would be pregnant?
Seeing Shen Zhonglei's thoughtful look, Shen Tianshu continued: "So my daughter thinks there is a possibility that this thing has been revived under the operation of some thoughtful people and has spread privately, but we don't know it yet?"
Although Shen Tianshu's words were spoken softly, they were like thunder in Shen Zhonglei's ears, making him stand up in shock.
This is indeed not impossible.
Although he has only been in office for less than half a year, if Wuchang Prefecture or even Huguang as a whole repeats the mistakes of the reincarnation drug, the court will not care when the matter started, and will only question him, the current prefect.
Thinking about how Qian Poxin came to Huguang at this time, even if he didn't come early or late, could it be that the court had already heard some rumors?
The more Shen Zhonglei thought about it, he broke out in a cold sweat. Without any time to rest, he stood up and said: "Shu'er, what you said is indeed reasonable. I will first check the people around Hanqiao to see if they can Let’s talk about it if we find any clues.”
Shen Tianshu reminded: "Whether she asks for clues or not, my daughter thinks it's best for dad to say hello to Prince Rui's Mansion."
"Yes, Doctor Zhang is from Tong Niangzi Medical Clinic, and Mrs. Tong is from the Crown Prince. It is impossible for them to hide such a big matter from the palace." Shen Zhonglei patted his daughter on the shoulder with great relief and said, "Shu Er When I grow up, I can take care of my father's worries. I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning to ask for an audience with the prince."
Leng Buding heard the words "Ms. Tong is from the Crown Prince" from Shen Zhonglei's mouth. Shen Tianshu felt a fever in his body, almost turning red from head to toe, and hurriedly said goodbye: "Dad, you go and do your work, I'll go back first. "
