Chapter 19: Adopting Ayan
Chapter 19: Adopting Ayan
"Alan——" The old lady's face darkened and there was disappointment in her eyes.
The nanny knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "This old slave was thinking about you. I was afraid that this evil child would offend you, so I was bewitched for a while..."
"Madam, I have something else to report. You are not sick, but you have been poisoned by Luohui Poison. This poison is colorless and tasteless. Long-term use will easily cause headaches and drowsiness. The poisoned person will die in sleep, and it is difficult for doctors to detect it."
Hearing this, Nanny broke out in a cold sweat.
The old lady's cloudy eyes flashed with a sharp light and she signaled with her eyes.
The maid let go of Jiang Yanwan, grabbed the nanny and began to search her, but found nothing.
"Bitch! You are slandering me here! Are you trying to step on me to get to the top?"
The poison was not found, and the nanny became more and more confident, her fingers almost poking Jiang Yanwan's nose.
Mammy works a lot, why would she have long nails? She's not a young maid who loves beauty...
Jiang Yanwan's eyes darkened, and she grabbed the nanny's right hand and carefully picked her little fingernails.
"Untouchables—" The nanny tried to shake off her right hand, but Jiang Yanwan was too strong and she couldn't get rid of it.
His left hand slapped Jiang Yanwan's face fiercely, but she tilted her head back to avoid it.
The maid quickly grabbed the nanny's arm. Jiang Yanwan picked up the powder and observed it. She sniffed it carefully and said, "This is Luohui powder."
"This Kou Dan must be poisonous. I was framed..." The nanny was so anxious that she was furious.
Seeing that she was still struggling, the old lady was disappointed and said, "I was the one who gave her the nail polish. Could it be that I slandered you?"
"Someone, beat Nanny Lan with twenty sticks and drive her out of the house." "Madam, please spare my life!" Nanny sat on the ground and begged for mercy, but was dragged away by the servants.
She is old, and if she is beaten with twenty sticks, she will probably be half dead. If she is driven out of the house, she may not live long.
The old lady was so determined that she attacked, making the people around her dare not even breathe.
Investigating poisoning is bound to involve some twists and turns.
"The servants were dishonest and made Miss Jiang laugh at them." The old lady said indifferently.
Jiang Yanwan didn't agree with her words, "Since the old lady has been diagnosed with poisoning, she will be able to recover if she takes good care of herself in the future."
"I'll trouble you in the future." The old lady looked kindly.
Not only that, the old lady also rewarded Jiang Yanwan and A Yan with many precious medicinal herbs and jewelry, saying that they were to nourish their bodies.
Some medicines are useful in detoxifying the golden silkworm poison, and Jiang Yanwan picked them out one by one.
The two were cleaning up in the house, and the rumor had already spread throughout the house.
The servants said that the new mother and son, Jiang, were very much loved by the old lady. Even when Nanny Lan offended them, the old lady gave her twenty strokes of the cane and drove her out of the house.
Jiang Yanwan: “…”
She's not, she doesn't.
The cool breeze carries the fragrance of lotus flowers.
Jiang Yanwan woke up from her dream and called out "Ayan" out of habit.
Normally he would have responded cheerfully, but today even after I shouted a few times, the house was completely silent.
Jiang Yanwan was extremely anxious and asked around, but couldn't find anyone for a long time.
A servant said that when Ayan was buying candied haws at the door, he seemed to be taken to the Marquis' Mansion by Nanny Lan.
Why did she take Ayan away?
Jiang Yanwan felt cold all over and rushed to the Marquis' Mansion.
The hall of Marquis Jiang's mansion is magnificent, with famous calligraphy and paintings hanging in the middle of the wall, and coffee tables and chairs placed symmetrically on both sides of the center of the hall.
Master Jiang, a man in a gray robe, stood in the center, with an Eight Immortals Platform in front of him.
Master Jiang held the invitation in his hand and read in a loud voice:
"Because Prince Fu has no children, Jiang Yan will be adopted by him from now on."
"Now let their blood drip into the bowl, and from now on they will become father and son."
"May the blessings last forever and the prosperity last forever."
