SFS Chapter 445 Poison
Chapter 445 Poison
"Is Shen He late? What is he doing here?"
Walking to the corridor leading to the courtyard, Jiang Fubao asked He'er as he walked.
"Mr. Shen said he wanted to give Miss a birthday gift. He is a stranger and it is not convenient for him to come to the second courtyard, so he went to find the old lady. Now she is sitting in the main hall drinking tea with her."
He'er explained.
"Giving me a birthday gift? I don't interact with him that much, why is he so attentive?"
Jiang Fubao was very confused.
Ever since she met Shen Hechi for the second time, she felt something was strange.
This guy is too nice to her.
Giving this and that.
Like a boy delivering wealth.
If it weren’t for Shen Hechi’s clear eyes.
There was no affection or calculation on his face, and she probably thought Shen Hechi had ulterior motives.
As he was thinking, he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Grandma, Brother Shen."
Jiang Fubao's attitude towards Shen Hechi was somewhat distant.
After entering the main room, she only looked at Zhang Jinlan and did not glance at Shen Hechi.
"Fubao, happy birthday to you. It's your birthday today, why didn't you call me? If the concierge hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known it was your birthday today. I'm giving this to you. Although it's not worth much, you're going to open a clinic, so I think this should be useful to you. Please don't despise it."
The moment Shen Hechi saw Jiang Fubao, he stood up from his chair.
As he finished speaking, the servant standing beside him opened a wooden box.
The inside is filled with books.
There are at least dozens of them.
Every book I saw was slightly wrinkled.
But not broken.
It should be caused by people reading it all the time.
"Hundreds of poisonous weeds? Theory of Poison? Poisons in the World? Brother Shen, where did you get so many books about poison?" Jiang Fubao casually scanned the covers of a few books.
Immediately stunned.
No.
She runs a clinic.
It's not a poison shop, but it gave her so many books about drugs.
Who are you trying to scare to death?
"Fubao, have you ever heard of fighting poison with poison? If you want to conquer all diseases in the world, you must know all kinds of poisons. For example, stubborn ringworm, poison, carbuncle, scrofula, etc., all these diseases require fighting poison with poison, and the herbs used are all poisonous substances and poisonous plants."
Shen Hechi's words made Jiang Fubao a little stunned.
He does have a point.
It is not just the diseases mentioned by Shen Hechi that require fighting poison with poison. Take the most common rheumatoid arthritis in modern times for example.
It can be treated with bee venom sting therapy.
She also learned it when she was in school.
I just didn't learn it thoroughly.
"Some of these books are too valuable. I'll give you as much silver as you want."
Although Jiang Fubao wanted it, he didn't want it for free.
She has nothing to do with Shen Hechi.
After all, she doesn't like it when she has to take something from someone else.
Besides, she is a wealthy woman now and can afford anything.
After saying this, she told Xue Huan, who was beside her, to go back to the second courtyard to get the banknotes.
"Fubao, today is your birthday, it's only natural for me to give you a gift. You always accept gifts from others, but why do you give me money? Do you hate me? I thought we were good friends, but it turns out I was overthinking..."
There was a look of disappointment on Shen Hechi's face.
The bright eyes also dimmed a lot.
Without waiting for Jiang Fubao to explain, he continued, "Back then, it was your grandma who helped me, so my mother was able to be put into the coffin, and she didn't end up lying on the street and being laughed at by people.
It was you who told me that my mother's cause of death was strange, and I found out that my mother was murdered. Fubao, I am actually very grateful to you. I have never forgotten you for so many years, and I just want to thank you in person."
Shen Hechi’s words made Zhang Jinlan’s eyes widen.
"Your mother was murdered by someone? Who? That concubine?" Zhang Jinlan never expected that what her granddaughter said would actually come true.
She was so scared when she heard those words that she immediately covered her granddaughter's mouth, fearing that she was talking nonsense.
"Oh, even Grandma Zhang could find out, but my father didn't believe it. He was sure that my mother died of exhaustion, but he refused to investigate."
Shen Hechi laughed at himself.
Just now, he didn't know what happened.
When he heard that Fubao was going to give him money, he couldn't help but speak out his true feelings.
This is a long-forgotten secret.
He never told anyone about it.
As for that box of books.
He had collected them over many years.
He knew every book by heart, and he wanted to know what kind of poison his mother had been poisoned by.
"Poor child, come and play often in the future. If that concubine still wants to harm you, come and tell grandma, and I will ask the county magistrate to help you."
When Zhang Jinlan saw Shen Hechi's appearance, she felt that he was really pitiful.
Children without mothers tend to become sensible early.
He passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at the age of eleven.
I guess he's just holding his anger in his heart.
That’s why I work so hard.
She still remembered that she carried Shen Hechi's mother to the gate of Shen's family, but that concubine didn't even open the door. Although she didn't see her face, she knew she was a ruthless character just by listening to her voice.
I'm really afraid that she will set her sights on Shen Hechi in the future.
Zhang Jinlan is ready to support Shen Hechi.
Her family was so poor at the beginning, and they were able to live much better thanks to the money given by Shen Hechi.
This is also a favor.
Even if you carry corpses, how can you earn so much?
She knew it all.
"Thank you, Grandma Zhang. Duan is no longer my concubine. She was caught having an affair with someone in the mansion today by my father. He has ordered her to be locked up in the woodshed. I'm afraid she will either become a nun or be killed with a bowl of medicine."
Shen Hechi's tone was somewhat bland.
But it shocked Zhang Jinlan and Jiang Fubao.
"God has eyes, this bitch deserves it." Concubines cannot go out at will.
Even if they moved a long time ago, they still live face to face.
But Zhang Jinlan had never seen her once.
wrong.
Seen it!
This morning when I was welcoming guests at the door, the gorgeously dressed woman opposite me must be that humble concubine.
Think about it this way.
That lowly concubine is so flamboyant, she must have been spoiled by Shen Hechi's biological father.
She thought that was the mistress that the Shen family married later.
There is absolutely no manners.
"Child, I'm sorry for the hard work. You should study hard in the future and get a job and go further." Zhang Jinlan didn't say it directly.
Having such a blind father.
I’m afraid there will be a lot of suffering in the future.
Without Aunt Duan, there will be Aunt Liu and Aunt Wang.
Those who favor their concubines and kill their wives are all beasts.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandma Zhang. I'm fine. I'm usually in school. Fubao, please accept my gift, okay?"
Shen Hechi turned his head.
He looked at Jiang Fubao with pleading eyes.
His eyes were wet, like an obedient dog.
Jiang Fubao couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
After chatting for a while, it was getting dark and Shen Hechi said goodbye. When he walked out of Jiang's house, he had a smile on his face.
His eyes were sharp for a moment.
It just disappeared in the blink of an eye.
