Chapter 628 Who hates him the most?
"Father, I really don't know what good it would do to poison you. You've always treated me very well, and you've even arranged a good marriage for me at the Duke's Mansion. I've been busy embroidering my wedding dress these days, quietly waiting to get married. How could I possibly poison you?"
Shen Wantang spoke slowly, "Besides, if I wanted to poison someone, I wouldn't use thorny thorn grass. I would choose a more subtle and rare poison. Only someone who doesn't understand medicine or poisons would use such a cheap and easily available poison."
"My daughter's medical skills are just a little better than those quacks out there, so I can tell what kind of poison father has been poisoned by. The poison of thorny thorn grass is not uncommon, and there are many cases of poisoning caused by overdose of thorny thorn grass. If you don't believe me, please invite a more skilled doctor to come and take a look. He will know the answer immediately."
With just a few words, she easily threw the suspicion back onto the Qi family.
Shen Guannian's face was gloomy and uncertain. He looked at Qi and then at Shen Wantang. For a moment, he felt that neither of them could be trusted!
A severe headache and unbearable nausea hit him, and he no longer cared who was trying to harm him. The most urgent thing was to detoxify him quickly!
He forced himself to speak: "Santu, this time you go and get me a doctor! Bring me some money, I want the best doctor! Hurry, go!"
Santu responded, went into the house, took the silver, and ran out in a panic.
Sanshui supported Shen Guannian and brought him back to the room and laid him on the bed.
Outside the house, Shen Wantang and others did not leave.
Shen Mingxuan said sarcastically, "Oh, my sister is really amazing. Not only do you know medicine, you also know poisons! What kind of medical books do you read on a daily basis? Why do you only delve into such unorthodox methods? I have to be more careful with you in the future. After all, you know how to choose hidden and rare poisons! You are really scary!"
Shen Wantang said bluntly, "Sister, you're worrying too much. To deal with you, there's no need for rare poisons. After all, the rarer the poison, the more expensive it is. Your life isn't worth that much. It's a waste to use a butcher knife to kill a chicken."
Shen Mingxuan's face turned pale. "Shen Wantang, I'm your sister. How dare you offend me like this?! If your reputation for disrespect gets out, the Duke's Mansion won't even let you in!"
"Didn't it my sister who offended me first? What? My sister still thinks we were kids, and I had to silently endure your beatings and scoldings? Wake up, I'm not that soft and vulnerable little girl anymore. If you scold me once, I'll scold you ten times. If you slap me once, I'll slap you ten times."
Shen Wantang looked at her calmly: "Sister, do you want to try it?"
Shen Mingxuan said in surprise, "Oh, sister, what nonsense are you talking about? You can't say such things. I was very kind to you when you were a child. When did I ever hit or scold you? Sister, you should be more sincere. You haven't changed your habit of lying at all. I almost believed what you said. You are really good at framing people!"
Since she refused to admit it, Shen Wantang naturally wouldn't argue with her anymore.
She suddenly laughed and said sarcastically, "I remember my sister said a few days ago that you have read medical books and are proficient in medical skills. Why didn't you treat your father when he was sick? Are you afraid that your true ability will be exposed?"
Shen Mingxuan's face froze. "I'm definitely much better than you! I don't know who pushed me to the ground just now, then ran forward to check my father's pulse and take credit for it. I didn't even have the chance to check my father's pulse!"
"Sister, don't you have a chance now? Go in quickly and take Dad's pulse. The doctor will be here soon. Then we can verify the diagnosis and see whether yours is more accurate than the doctor outside."
Shen Mingxuan's face became even stiffer, and even her hands and feet began to become stiff, and she couldn't move her legs to step into the house.
She knew nothing about medicine! Those medical books were like heavenly books; she couldn't understand them at all!
"What's with that expression, sister? Are you scared? Oh, could it be that you were the one who poisoned father?"
Shen Wantang covered her mouth in shock. Then, under Shen Mingxuan's shocked and angry gaze, she shouted into the room, "Father, I found out who poisoned you. It was my sister! She didn't want me to marry into the Duke's Mansion. She wanted to kill you!"
Shen Mingxuan's nose almost became crooked with anger: "Shen Wantang, what nonsense are you talking about!"
At the same time, Shen Guannian in the room was furious: "Shen Mingxuan, get in here! How dare you murder your own father?!"
From the moment Shen Guannian entered the house, he was wondering who had poisoned him. After thinking about it, he felt that it shouldn't be Shen Wantang.
After all, as Shen Wantang herself said, he found such a good marriage for her, she must be eager to marry into the Duke's Mansion and enjoy a good life, so how could she poison him at this time?
If he died, Shen Wantang would have to observe three years of mourning. Could the Duke's Mansion wait three years? Three years is too long, and there would be so many things that could happen! This marriage would probably fall through!
Therefore, anyone in this family could harm her except Shen Wantang!
On the contrary, Shen Wantang must be the one who wants to save his life the most now!
The question is, who hates him the most?
Without a doubt, it is the eldest daughter Shen Mingxuan!
Now Shen Mingxuan's innocence has been ruined, and her reputation has been destroyed. Not to mention the Duke's Mansion and the Prince Ning's Mansion, even people from smaller families would not be willing to marry her. Since she herself cannot get married, naturally she does not want Shen Wantang to get married!
So, when Shen Wantang shouted that it was Shen Mingxuan who poisoned her, Shen Guannian immediately agreed with her words - the two of them, father and daughter, had surprisingly similar ideas!
Shen Guannian was angry when Shen Mingxuan walked in.
Her voice was filled with endless grievance: "Father, it wasn't me! I didn't poison you! It was Shen Wantang who did it, and then she put the blame on me!"
"Shut up! Get down on your knees!"
Shen Guannian was so furious that he even forced himself to sit up, picked up the medicine bowl beside him and threw it at Shen Mingxuan: "Beast! You are a beast! How dare you poison me? I raised you for all these years in vain, you ungrateful wolf!"
Shen Wantang also walked in. Seeing Shen Guannian getting angry and hitting someone, she hurried forward to stop him weakly, "Oh, what are you doing, father? Although my sister poisoned you, she must know she was wrong. Look how scared she is, she's shaking. Please forgive her since this is the first time she's made such a mistake!"
Shen Mingxuan was indeed shaking, but not because of fear, but because of anger.
"Shen Wantang, stop pretending here! You're pretending to be begging for mercy, but you're actually deliberately putting the blame on me even more! You're so scheming and vicious!"
Shen Mingxuan's eyes were red. "Father, I'm innocent! You can't just listen to Shen Wantang's one-sided story! I stayed in my own yard last night. I didn't come to your place at all! Whoever came here is the most suspicious!"
After she said the last sentence, she was suddenly stunned.
No, she got up once in the second half of last night. The back window of the bathroom was open, and she saw her mother taking Nanny Yin to her father's yard!
She turned her head sharply and looked at Qi who had just walked in: "Mother, it's you? It's you, right?!"
