Chapter 393: Grudge
Chapter 393: Hatred
Nanzhao has a medicinal herb called "Jinxingcao," which can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and relieve inflammation and pain, but few people know its effects. (This is purely fictitious, please do not investigate.)
Pregnant women should avoid taking blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs during pregnancy, because any carelessness may lead to miscarriage.
Jiang Yueyang asked: [You mean Madam Bai's bleeding episodes were all caused by the Ember Star Grass?]
[Yes, someone wanted to harm her unborn baby.]
Bai Ze's face instantly turned gloomy, his hands clenched into fists, trembling slightly.
[Who wants to harm Madam Bai? ]
[Hmm...Madam Tao, the concubine of Lord Bai's father.]
Bai Ze's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot. As early as the second time his wife had her period, he suspected that someone was trying to harm his wife.
To this end, he did not hesitate to anger his father and searched the entire mansion, and even searched the yard of Aunt Tao and her children thoroughly, but he did not find any poisonous substances or musk, which could cause miscarriage.
He even went to all the major pharmacies in the capital to check, but every pharmacy said that they had not sold medicines such as musk in recent months, and had not sold many abortion pills.
Moreover, he personally checked his wife's daily diet and pregnancy-maintaining medication.
On the day of the third bleeding, he asked the imperial physician to check what his wife had eaten, the medicines she had taken, the clothes she had worn, the things she had touched, the furnishings in the house, and all the people she had met, but there was nothing unusual.
After all this trouble, he gradually gave up the idea that someone wanted to harm his wife, and instead suspected that it was a problem with his wife's physical condition.
Until today when he had spotting and his wife fainted, he could no longer care about so many things. He disobeyed his father and sent someone to the Jiang family to invite Master Jiang over.
Jiang Yueyang withdrew his hand, looked at Bai Ze and said, "Judging from Madam Bai's pulse, she must have taken or been exposed to blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs."
Bai Ze suppressed the urge to kill Aunt Tao and said sullenly, "Madam's food and drink must be inspected by this humble official. There is absolutely no chance of it containing any blood-activating or blood-stasis-removing medicine.
The officials in the palace also sent people to search carefully, but found no one hiding that kind of medicine."
Jiang Yueyang looked at Bai Ze meaningfully, "It seems that Lord Bai suspected that someone wanted to harm Madam Bai, but he didn't find anything.
Little melon, do you know how Aunt Tao used the "Ember Star Grass" to harm Madam Bai without anyone noticing?
[Madam Tao had "Ember Star Grass" growing in her yard. She ground the grass to extract juice and then had the maid who boiled water in Madam Bai's yard add the juice to Madam Bai's bath water.]
Jiang Yueyang tutted twice, "No wonder Lord Bai didn't notice anything. Once the bath water is poured out, everything disappears. That 'Ember Star Grass' must not be that noticeable."
After hearing this, Bai Ze thought of the patch of grass in Aunt Tao's yard. The grass was indeed not eye-catching, and no one would have thought that it was a medicinal herb.
Jiang Yueyang retracted his gaze and paced back and forth, thinking for a moment. After a moment, he turned to Bai Ze and asked, "Master Bai, I have a suspicion. Could you take me around your mansion to have a look?"
"My wife..."
Compared to finding the murderer of Aunt Tao, he was more worried about his wife's health.
As soon as Bai Ze finished speaking, before Jiang Yueyang could ask, the system proactively said, "It's fine for now. Just take some medication to maintain pregnancy and avoid any blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medication."
[I didn't expect that child to be so strong. He had spotting several times.]
After saying that, Jiang Yueyang gave Bai Ze a reassuring look, "Mrs. Bai and the baby in her belly are fine for now, but if she bleeds again, it will be bad."
System: [It's not that child who is strong, it's Gu Lan's medicine that is powerful.]
Bai Ze heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that both adults and children were fine. He looked at the maids and said, "You guys take good care of the lady."
"promise."
Then he made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Yueyang, "Master Jiang, please follow me."
As Jiang Yueyang followed Bai Ze out, he asked doubtfully, "What's going on with Gu Lan's medicine?"
[After Madam Bai became pregnant, Lord Bai asked Lu Yunting to deliver a thank-you gift to Gu Lan, and in return received a bottle of pregnancy-maintaining pills.]
[Gu Lan gave it to him voluntarily?] Jiang Yueyang was very surprised.
When Bai Ze first received the medicine, he was as surprised as Jiang Yueyang. In his opinion, Gu Lan was not a kind-hearted person.
The system nodded and said, "Mrs. Bai has a weak constitution. Even if she becomes pregnant after medication, it will be difficult to keep the baby."
If it weren't for Gu Lan's pregnancy-maintaining pills, Madam Bai would have lost the baby when she first had her period.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze's face turned pale and he accidentally bit his lip, and the taste of blood came through the tip of his tongue.
He suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "Master Xiao Jiang asked me to take you around the mansion to look for the medicine that can promote blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis?"
"good."
"I have a suspect. Why don't we go check on her first?"
Jiang Yueyang smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Okay, I wonder who it is?"
"Father's concubine, Aunt Tao."
[Lord Bai and Concubine Tao must have had a feud, otherwise they wouldn't have suspected her.]
System: [They don't just have a grudge, they also have a vendetta!]
[What grudge?] Jiang Yueyang asked curiously.
【Revenge for the murder of my son.】
Jiang Yueyang was shocked. [Master Bai killed Aunt Tao's son?]
"No. Host, do you remember what I told you last time? Lord Bai discovered that someone in the Bai clan was smuggling, and he was gathering evidence to kill his own relatives for the greater good?"
[I don’t remember.]
System: […Madam Tao’s eldest son colluded with others to engage in smuggling. Lord Bai collected evidence and reported it to the emperor.
The Emperor, mindful of his willingness to sacrifice his own family for the greater good, spared the Bai family and only executed Concubine Tao's eldest son and the other smugglers. From this point on, Concubine Tao began to resent Lord Bai.
Why should a woman embarrass another woman? If she wants to avenge her son, she should go and harm Lord Bai.
White Pond:"……"
[Mrs. Tao harmed Mrs. Bai not only to avenge her son, but also for herself.]
【How do you say this? 】
The system slowly explained, “Before this, Lord Bai and Madam Bai had no children, and Lord Bai was unwilling to take a concubine, so Lord Bai’s father wanted Lord Bai to adopt his half-brother’s son.
In this way, the Bai family's assets will all belong to Aunt Tao's family in the future. But what if Madam Bai gives birth to a child?
Jiang Yueyang suddenly realized, [So that's how it is.]
As they were talking, they arrived outside Aunt Tao's yard.
Bai Ze stopped and said, "Master Xiao Jiang, the courtyard ahead is Madam Tao's. There might be a conflict later, so please stand behind me."
Jiang Yueyang smiled slightly when he heard this, "Master Bai, don't worry about me. Guyu can beat ten of them alone."
Then they walked to the gate of the yard together, but before they could go in, they were stopped by the old woman guarding the gate.
Bai Ze shouted angrily, "How dare you!"
