Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

Chapter 377 The monk’s evil medicine

Yao Shu felt that Mrs. Qiao was a little confused. Why should she take medicine if there was nothing wrong with her body?

Isn't it all right?

She asked Mrs. Qiao to stop taking the medicine quickly, so as not to make her sick by forcefully taking it even though she wasn't sick. She was such an adult, yet she still had to worry about it.

In the next few days, Yao Shu didn't notice anything strange anymore. Mrs. Qiao seemed to obey her and stopped drinking the soup. However, every time she passed by the yard in front of Mr. Qiao's house, she could still smell a faint smell. It smells like medicine.

Yao Shu quickly called a maid over and gave her careful instructions. When the maid came back that night, she told Yao Shu the exact news.

"Why, is she hiding from me secretly?"

Yao Shu was immediately angry, but she finally controlled her temper and did not go directly to Mrs. Qiao to expose her.

Because in the final analysis, the root cause of this matter still lies in the decoction. If she can't find out what the decoction does, even if she scolds Mr. Qiao, it won't have much effect. Since Mr. Qiao dares to deceive her once, there will be consequences. The second time, the third time.

This sign must be killed immediately. Yao Shu ordered the maid to collect the residue of the decoction after Mrs. Qiao drank it, and sent it to the shopkeeper of the city medicine shop the next day for analysis. Yao Shu was shocked by the conclusion she came to.

"When I got back to my wife, the medicine shop owner said that the medicine residue is filled with dead tree poles and weeds that can be found everywhere, and mixed with some cheap medicinal materials. Although drinking it will not cause any serious harm to people, it is nothing. benefit."

Yao Shu was even more confused, where did Qiao get this kind of thing from? Maybe she was deceived, and she had to get to the bottom of the whole thing.

So Yao Shu first called for Zhao, who was usually close to Mrs. Qiao. After asking, she learned that the two of them had gone to a temple outside the city to ask for a fortune. At that time, Mrs. Qiao walked away for a while, and when she returned home, she seemed to be carrying He was holding something, but she didn't know whether it was a decoction or medicine.

Yao Shu nodded and then set off to find Mr. Qiao. Faced with all kinds of evidence, Ms. Qiao finally couldn't hide it and had to tell the truth.

She said shyly: "Now my brother and sister are pregnant, and my sister was pregnant before. I am the only one who has not had any movement in my stomach since I entered the Shen family. I feel ashamed and annoyed, so I want to find someone to give birth to a child." I secretly take the folk remedy, hoping to add a son and a half to the Shen family."

The more Ms. Qiao talked, the more aggrieved she became, and finally she couldn't help crying.

Yao Shu said: "Why are you so anxious? I have never urged you to have a baby early, so why bother yourself? Fang is younger than you all, and now that she is suddenly pregnant, I naturally have to take more care of her. I am afraid that she will have something." If something goes wrong, why should you look for trouble?"

After learning Yao Shu's true thoughts, Qiao gently wiped away her tears and felt relieved.

But the matter couldn't be left alone. Yao Shu ordered her servants to search for all the medicine hidden in Qiao's room to prevent her from continuing to do this stupid thing. The next day, she invited a doctor to come over and give Qiao a closer look. After a medical examination, I was relieved after confirming that there was nothing wrong with her eating.

This time Qiao knew that she had done something stupid, so she cooperated honestly and did not dare to say a word.

After taking care of the affairs in the house, Yao Shu took the invited Doctor Liu out of the city. She was not angry that Mrs. Qiao was stupid and fell into such a bad trick, but that the monks in the temple were still full after eating fast and chanting Buddha all day long. Bad water in the stomach.

Mrs. Qiao is her own family, so Yao Shu naturally wants to protect her. She went to the temple this time to seek justice for Mr. Qiao. Although it was a small matter to be defrauded of some money, what if someone got sick after taking those decoctions? , that’s a big deal.

All the way into the mountain gate, the monks in the temple saw Yao Shu's dress, figure and temperament, and she was obviously the wife of a wealthy family, so they came forward to greet her with great enthusiasm.

"I came here to beg for a child for my daughter-in-law. I heard that the master of your temple has a secret recipe for giving birth to a child. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to give you some for me to take back. If I successfully add an heir to the family, I will repay you with a lot of money someday. "

The fat monk in front of him was very happy to hear this. He immediately welcomed Yao Shu and his party into the side room, and began to boast about how effective his secret recipe was.

"It must be fate for Madam to come here today. My secret recipe will definitely help Madam fulfill her wish. Not long ago, the young lady of the Fang family in the city took this decoction, and soon the good news came. It is really the mercy of our Buddha, so gratifying! "

Yao Shu secretly thought to herself, you are a monk who has eaten so much that you are full of fat. You can see that you eat well and drink spicy food, and do not avoid meat and wine. Your life is better than that of many people in the city. How can you look like a monk in you?

However, she remained calm at this time and pretended to be pious and said: "Master is merciful, so please give me the medicine as soon as possible. Some incense and money here are not respectful."

A servant placed the heavy cloth bag in front of the monk. The monk's eyes immediately widened, revealing his greedy nature.

But he still wanted to be coy and said in a deep voice: "Madam has the heart to worship the Buddha, so she will naturally be blessed by the Buddha beads. In the future, the family will be able to flourish and the people will be prosperous."

After that, he turned around and went into the back room. When he came out, he already had two packages of medicinal materials in his hands, which were no different from the paper packages found in Qiao's room.

Yao Shu sneered and immediately ordered her servant to bring the medicine over and hand it over to Dr. Liu beside her for careful inspection. The latter picked out the medicinal materials in the paper bag one by one and looked at and smelled them, shaking his head from time to time.

The monk asked strangely: "Madam, what does this mean?"

"Master, please be patient. You will know soon."

While Yao Shu was speaking, the two accompanying house slaves had quietly walked to the back door to guard, in case this black-hearted thief monk saw that the situation was not good and fled.

Doctor Liu pondered for a moment and then immediately concluded: "This is no good medicine for having a baby. It is just worthless straw. Except for three or four kinds of cheap herbs, the rest are just weeds and dead wood mixed together. This kind of Can something be given to someone to drink?"

"Thief monk, what else do you have to say!"

Yao Shu scolded, and the monk stood up from the cross-legged sitting position on the floor, and asked angrily: "Who are you, are you deliberately looking for trouble?"

Doctor Liu hated this kind of deceitful liar who ruined his doctor's profession, so he said: "I am a doctor in the city. I have been practicing medicine for more than 20 years and I can still make mistakes. You can't say that this trick of yours is a waste of human life." Yes, it’s really too black-hearted!”

"If anyone eats this kind of thing casually, it will kill someone sooner or later!"

Yao Shu called the pilgrims outside to gather around her quickly. Today she vowed to expose this scam.
