Chapter 74: Shame
The people of the Zheng family became nervous one by one, worried that he would really believe Chang Wu's words, took the medicine, and then followed him to Chang's house.
Zheng Heng stared at Chang Wu, stared at the medicine in his hand, and asked in a cold voice, "Is it you?" Right? ”
Others didn't understand the meaning of his words, but when Chang Wu heard it, he was slightly surprised, and then laughed: "Yes, I have put a lot of thought into it for you, but how do you know?" The doctors in this city should not be able to find out. He admitted it frankly, because he knew that the people of the Zheng family couldn't help him.
In the room, Tang Ning listened to the words outside, and was quite surprised in his heart, seeing Mrs. Zheng beside her, holding her handkerchief tightly, panting and staring at the outside with hatred, she couldn't help but call her.
"Mrs. Zheng, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I'm just ......"
Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Tang Ning, and showed a wry smile: "Little master, I won't tell you, since I beat my lord down, I have been guarding against the clansmen, I think they will definitely want to take advantage of my lord's fall, and rob our long house, will rob Heng'er's position as the head of the family, the doctor said to prepare for the future, and the people in the family will come to guard, I think, they must be looking forward to my lord's early death, they are bullying our orphans and widows, but ......"
She wiped the corners of her eyes, with shame in her eyes, and said: "But I didn't expect that my lord was poisoned, and I didn't expect that when Chang Wu broke into the mansion to trouble Heng'er, the clansmen would defend him and stand by his side, I, I really felt ashamed, I suspected them like that......"
"Madame doesn't have to blame herself, because what Madame said, it happens in many families."
Tang Ning smiled and said: "People in the world are greedy for money and power, and rich families still have calculation disputes, let alone families like yours, but Madame can also see the unity of the clansmen, at least, what happened in other people's families did not appear in your family." ”
She paused, looked outside, and asked, "Who is this Chang Wu?" How could he be eyeing Ling Gongzi? ”
"He is the fifth son of the Chang family, one of the eight major families in Yancheng, so he is called Chang Wuye, he has a bad character, likes male style, and his reputation in Yancheng can be said to be very poor, a few months ago Heng'er returned from the academy, and he forcibly kidnapped a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy on the road, and rescued the boy and fought with Chang Wu, since then, this Chang Wu has come to the door every three or five times."
Speaking of this, she was full of helplessness and anger: "Such a shameless person, even ignoring his reputation as a regular family, has been lawless and annoying the people of Yancheng, but no one can help him." ”
Hearing this, Tang Ning nodded: "I see." ”
At this time, a servant girl crept in, put something on the table, and said, "Madam, the silver needle has been fetched, and the medicine has been boiled in the kitchen." ”
"Okay." Mrs. Zheng looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Little master, can you see if this silver needle can be used?" This is what we have in the medicine warehouse at home, and if we can't use it, I'll ask people to buy it outside. ”
Tang Ning opened it and looked at it, and nodded: "It's okay, these are fine." With that, she came to the bedside with a silver needle and said, "Madam, I'll help Master Zheng detoxify first, although I can't remove the poison from his body at once, but I can make him sober." ”
