The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

Chapter 28: Mrs. Zhou asks for help

After entering the inner courtyard, Hong Yin brought a round stool for Mrs. Zhou to sit and talk. Mrs. Zhou sat down nervously, looked up at Mu Lanfeng, and asked in a low voice: "I wonder why the young lady asked me to come here?"

After a moment of silence, Mu Lanfeng smiled slightly and said softly, "Mother Zhou looks unfamiliar. I guess I haven't seen her before?"

Mrs. Zhou smiled apologetically and explained quickly, "I was brought in as a dowry by the Madam's family. I have always been doing rough labor outside. It is not surprising that the young lady has never seen me before!"

There is nothing wrong with what he said. There are hundreds of servants in the Mu Mansion, and most of them have rarely been seen.

Mu Lanfeng smiled faintly, and then asked tentatively: "Does Madam Zhou still remember my aunt?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou was startled, her face changed slightly, and she rubbed her hands back and forth, looking a little uneasy. She lowered her head and stammered, "I will remember... I will remember!"

Mu Lanfeng was certain that Mrs. Zhou's change of mood made her know something!

But she had no idea how much she could get out of the question!

"Mother Zhou, do you know how my aunt died?"

"I don't know!" Mrs. Zhou blurted out without thinking.

Mu Lanfeng was obviously not satisfied with this answer. She stood up with a half-smile, walked to Mrs. Zhou, lowered her eyes, gently patted Mrs. Zhou's shoulder, and said softly: "Mother Zhou, don't rush to answer. It's not too late to tell me when you think it through!"

Mother Zhou was so frightened by this slap that she almost lost her soul. She trembled violently. Mu Lanfeng's words were like a heavy burden on her heart. She trembled and whispered: "This servant... This servant really doesn't know about this. Miss, please don't embarrass me!"

Mu Lanfeng frowned slightly and repeated what he had just said: "I said, I'm not in a hurry, Mom Zhou, think it over first!"

Mrs. Zhou still wanted to defend herself, but when she looked up at Mu Lanfeng's fierce eyes, she saw that he obviously wouldn't give her the chance, so she opened her mouth and said anything.

Mu Lanfeng winked at Hong Yin, who immediately understood what she meant and led Mrs. Zhou out.

Looking at Mrs. Zhou's back as she left, Mu Lanfeng seemed to understand one thing: her aunt was like a taboo in the Mu family, and even her grandmother rarely mentioned her.

What happened that year?

The more confused he was, the more Mu Lanfeng wanted to figure it out.

But there is no need to rush. Mrs. Zhou is the best breakthrough point, but we just need to give her some time.

At this time, Hong Yin came back from outside after seeing off Mrs. Zhou. She was a little puzzled by Mu Lanfeng's behavior. Mrs. Zhou was Jiang's person. Could she tell the truth?

The next morning, when Mu Lanfeng was washing up, Bi Qing came in and whispered in her ear, "Mother Zhou is anxious to see the young lady. She won't tell you anything when asked, and just told me to tell you!"

Did Mrs. Zhou figure it out so quickly?

Mu Lanfeng was still a little surprised, so she told Biqing to bring Mrs. Zhou in.

Biqing responded and turned to go out.

Not long after, he hurried in with Mrs. Zhou.

When Mrs. Zhou saw Mu Lanfeng, she knelt down in front of her and kowtowed continuously. After a while, a large patch of red appeared on her forehead.

Where did this come from?

Mu Lanfeng was almost confused. She hated the ancient rules the most, kneeling and kowtowing at every turn. She crossed her arms and waited for Mrs. Zhou to toss her around. "Girl, save my poor little grandson, please, save him!"

"Mother Zhou, stand up and talk properly!" Mu Lanfeng said, and then said to Hong Yin, "Help Mother Zhou up!"

Hongyin went over to help Mrs. Zhou up and comforted her softly, "Mother Zhou, if you have anything to say, please talk to the girl!"

Mother Zhou stood up tremblingly, with a sad face, red eyes and swollen eye sockets, obviously she had been crying. She sobbed and explained the cause of the matter: "When I went back yesterday, my grandson was sent by my wife. He had a high fever and talked nonsense all night. I asked the doctor to see him, but he didn't get better. He fell unconscious in the morning..."

"How do you want me to save your grandson?" Mu Lanfeng asked back.

"I...I don't look sick, but rather poisoned. Miss, could you please let Madam..." Mrs. Zhou hesitated and didn't dare to continue.

"Do you think if I go, Madam will give me the antidote?" Mu Lanfeng asked Mrs. Zhou with a blank look.

"I really have no other choice!" sobbed Mrs. Zhou.

She knew the chances were slim, but for the sake of her grandson, she had to give it a try no matter how difficult it was.
