Chapter 141 What do I ask, what do you answer
When these words came out, Bai Wei subconsciously widened her eyes: "My mother?"
The mother Ouyang Yi was talking about was, of course, the original owner's mother, the only daughter of the Zhennan King, and the person whom the Zhennan King treasured like the apple of his eye - Xiao Ning.
In the first dozen years of Xiao Ning's life, she was the most popular noble lady in the capital. She was beautiful, kind, innocent and romantic. For many years, many talented men were her confidants, and the threshold of the Zhennan Palace was almost broken down by people who came to propose marriage to her.
At that time, Bai Qian was just a poor student who had not yet entered the official career. His family was ordinary and his family background was not prominent, but he had a handsome face and some talent. Although he passed the imperial examination and won the third place, he had no money to bribe people, so he only got an idle job.
Bai Qian and Xiao Ning met at a banquet.
An encounter that might have been intentional or deliberate made Xiao Ning remember this man.
From then on, Bai Qian began to pursue Xiao Ning relentlessly, using all kinds of warm and romantic scenes and sweet words to coax Xiao Ning into falling in love with him.
The girl who was raised and well protected in the boudoir had no idea about the wickedness of people in this world, so she fell in love easily, thinking that they would be in perfect harmony and live together for the rest of their lives, so she married him regardless of everything.
But what is the final outcome?
After getting married, Bai Qian acted in front of outsiders, making everyone think that he truly loved Xiao Ning, including the Prince of Zhennan.
But the fact is, everything he did was for outsiders to see, in order to get the Zhennan Palace and her grandfather to help him succeed in his career.
Because of this, Bai Qian's official rank was promoted faster than that of other successful candidates in the same imperial examination. His momentum even completely crushed the top scholar of that year, and he became the Minister of Rites.
However, her mother was sad and blamed herself for the loss of her child, and she was depressed and died of illness within a few months. The most infuriating thing was that only a month after her death, Bai Qian welcomed his concubine into the house, saying that the Shangshu Mansion needed someone to take charge of the family.
What's even more ironic is that when the concubine came in, Bai Lian was already more than two years old, only two or three months younger than her. In other words, as early as when her mother Xiao Ning was pregnant, this bastard who was based on the image of a loving wife had already rolled around with Bai Lian's mother and had Bai Lian.
These memories all came from the original owner, proving that the original owner knew all of this after returning to the capital. What she couldn't understand was that the original owner clearly knew that her father was a scum who relied on her mother to get to the top and finally refused to be lonely.
But she still chose to please her father, even at the cost of cutting off all ties with the Zhennan Palace. In fact, it was not only because she herself lacked love but also wanted to get love from her father.
She also hoped that she would be equally valued and respected for her sincere efforts for the Bai family, and hoped that her father would recognize her and be proud of her. She thought that as long as this was done, Bai Qian would remember her Xiao Ning, value Xiao Ning, build a tablet for her mother in the ancestral hall, and hope that her mother could be buried with him in the future.
In fact, she could not quite understand the original owner's thoughts.
If someone treated her mother like this, she would never try to please him. She would definitely try to make him go back to the beginning and lose everything he cared about. If that person died because he couldn't bear the blow, she would just throw his body into the river to feed the fish.
How could she possibly want to hide such a thing with her mother? It's so unlucky!
Thinking of Xiao Ning, Bai Wei was quiet for a long time, and Ouyang Yi seemed to know that she needed to think, so he waited quietly and didn't say anything else.
"Just now, His Highness Prince Yi said that my mother's death was related to Doctor Li? Why?"
In the original owner's memory, Xiao Ning died of illness. Of course, this was also said by the people in the Bai Mansion.
It was said that Xiao Ning's health had not been good since she gave birth to Bai Wei. Later, she was lost when she was taken out of the general's house to watch the lanterns.
After she was lost, Xiao Ning fell seriously ill and even had difficulty getting out of bed.
Later, he consulted a doctor and took care of him for a long time, but his condition did not improve and he eventually passed away.
Could it be that Doctor Li was the doctor invited by the Shangshu Mansion before my mother passed away?
Ouyang Yi heard Bai Wei's question and answered truthfully, "When your mother was seriously ill, it was this Doctor Li who treated her. His original name was Li Yuan, and he was a doctor at the largest Xinglin Hall in the capital. But not long after your mother passed away, he left Xinglin Hall, deliberately changed his name and went to Zhangjia Village to become a village doctor."
When Bai Wei heard this, she subconsciously clenched her hands.
Doctors are human beings, not gods. Naturally, there will be patients who cannot be saved. This is a very normal thing.
But if a doctor treats a patient and the patient dies, and then the doctor immediately flees, moving from his original favorable environment to a poor place and staying there for so many years, there must be a problem.
Xiao Ning was the original owner's mother and also the mother of this body. If she died of illness, it would be fine, but if she was killed by someone, she would never let her go easily.
The moonlight was deep, and Li Sansi was sitting in a makeshift house.
He looked around, moving his hands and feet around in a panic, looking uneasy. He stood up, sat down, sat down, and stood up again, repeating this several times, before he finally decided to leave.
Unfortunately, as soon as he went out, he ran into Jian Ying who was guarding the door: "Where do you want to go, Doctor Li?"
Li Yuan's face turned pale and he said, "I'm going to the toilet."
Jianying said expressionlessly: "Then let me go with Doctor Li."
Li Yuan gritted his teeth: "If you follow me, I can't get out."
Jian Ying still had no expression on his face: "That's your business. My business is to follow you and never leave."
Seeing Jianying like this, Li Yuan knew that he couldn't persuade him or beat him, so he took out a handful of medicine powder from his arms and threw it directly at Jianying. Jianying immediately stepped back, and the weapon in his hand spun like a propeller, forcing the medicine powder back onto Li Yuan's body.
Li Yuan was unable to dodge and was hit directly. He covered his eyes and screamed in pain: "Ahhhhhhhh..."
Jian Ying frowned, and was hesitating about what to do when Bai Wei and Ouyang Yi came over: "General Bai, what kind of poison is this?"
No matter how dumb Bai Wei was, she could still guess what had happened.
Li Yuan's desire to escape just proves that he is guilty.
Bai Wei looked at the person in front of her, twitched her nose slightly, then looked at the powder scattered on the ground, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's not poisonous, it's just some chili pepper, pepper and other irritating things ground into powder, sprinkled on the face, especially the eyes, ears, mouth and nose, it can make people temporarily blind, tears flow, and temporarily lose the ability to move."
Jianying knew that Bai Wei and Ouyang Yi came here to interrogate Li Yuan, but now Li Yuan has become like this: "Now, what should I do?"
Bai Wei did not reply but looked around.
Finally, he walked to a water tank not far away, picked up the gourd ladle in the tank, scooped a ladle of water, and poured it directly on Li Yuan's face, saying coldly: "Answer whatever I ask, otherwise I have plenty of ways to make you live a life worse than death."
