Chapter 401: Benefactor Must Live Long-4
"Master, I don't know my uncle. No, no, no, I know my uncle, but we have no relationship, not at all..." Hearing Ruan Kang's questioning, Li Hao was frightened and gave an incoherent explanation.
"You're still lying. Do you know what happened to this silver? This silver is the account I collected. Everything on it is marked."
"When my son-in-law needed some money, I gave it to him. Except for what he took, the rest is all in the treasury."
"You are still lying. Don't you want to admit it?" Ruan yelled at Li Hao.
When Li Hao heard what Master Ruan said, his legs went weak. He had not expected that there was a mark on the silver. He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.
"Master, Master, it was given to me by my uncle. He, he asked me to..."
Li Hao couldn't continue the conversation. He knew that if he continued, he and his family would be punished.
"If you don't want to say it, then I'll tell you that you reached an agreement with your son-in-law. He wants you to poison your young lady's food."
After hearing what Xihe said, all the servants around were in an uproar. They didn't expect that the son-in-law would actually attack the young lady.
"Li Hao, is what the Taoist priest said true?" Ruan Kang was almost mad with anger. He stepped forward, grabbed Li Hao's collar and asked him harshly.
"Yes, yes, sir, yes. Before he left, my uncle gave me a packet of medicine and told me to put some in the young lady's food every day."
"Why do you want to work for him, Ma Qirui? Our Ruan family has done nothing wrong to you."
"Master, I was wrong. My son injured someone. When they knew I worked for the Ruan family, they asked me to pay a lot of money in compensation."
"I couldn't come up with the money. When I was thinking about whether to tell you, my uncle found out about it."
"He said he would get the money for me and make sure my son was safe."
"I was bewitched and believed what he said. Master, I really know I was wrong. Please spare my life. The old and young in my family still rely on me..." Li Hao knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
"You're lying." Xihe interrupted him mercilessly, saying coldly, "You just felt that Ma Qirui gave you too much money, and you became greedy."
"And he promised you something that you thought was more in line with your requirements, so you agreed without hesitation."
"How can someone like you be so heartless? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?" The housekeeper pointed at him and cursed.
"When your mother was sick, no one treated her. It was you who paid for her life."
"You actually did something to hurt the young lady. I think it's not too much to beat you to death."
The housekeeper felt unsatisfied with just scolding him, so he stepped forward and kicked him hard several times.
"People like you who are so heartless and ruthless deserve to die without a burial place."
"Why don't you just die quickly, betraying your benefactor for such a small favor?"
"I wonder if your old mother knows what you've done? If she does, will she die of shame for raising such a beastly son?"
He heard his old mother Li Hao kneeling on the ground without saying a word, just kowtowing continuously.
He didn't dare to think about it, for he was afraid that his old mother could not bear the blow.
At the beginning, my mother repeatedly reminded me to work hard in the Ruan family and not to let down the Ruan family for saving my life.
But what did he do? He actually murdered his mother's savior and wanted to kill their offspring.
If my mother knew about this, she would definitely kill herself with a knife.
"Take him down and interrogate him carefully." Ruan's father really couldn't accept such a result. The husband he carefully selected for his daughter turned out to be a vicious wolf.
When the housekeeper heard his words, he waved his hand and several servants rushed up immediately. Some of them stuffed his mouth, and some held his arms and dragged him towards the woodshed.
"My daughter, I'm sorry..." Ruan Kang staggered towards his daughter's yard.
Mrs. Ruan did not sleep well last night, so she took a tranquilizing soup today and fell into a deep sleep. The maid just woke her up.
As soon as I arrived at the front yard, I heard this series of events. My already dizzy head became even more dizzy, and I fell directly into the arms of the nanny beside me.
"Madam, Madam, wake up..."
"Hurry up and lift the lady up and call a doctor." The housekeeper saw that one of his masters was heartbroken and another master fainted on the ground, so he hurriedly stood up and gave orders to everyone.
"Don't move, don't move. Come, let me see, don't move." Xihe still quite likes these people who really do good deeds.
When she saw Mrs. Ruan lying on the ground, she stepped forward and reached out to take her pulse.
Soon, Xihe found out the reason why she was born with a deficiency.
"Please bring me some paper and pen. I'll write you a prescription. Send someone to get the medicine. After boiling it, drink it for about a month, and your wife's health will be cured."
The housekeeper nodded and hurried to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and handed them to Xihe respectfully.
Xihe picked up the brush and started writing.
"for you."
The nanny holding Mrs. Ruan took the prescription handed to her by Xihe with both hands and held it carefully in her arms.
She looked at Xihe with gratitude: "Thank you, Taoist Priest, thank you, Taoist Priest!"
"No thanks, just go!"
Except for that ungrateful Li Hao, everyone else in this mansion is good.
In the previous life, no one tried to escape first, but instead rushed into the fire to save everyone in the Ruan family.
Unfortunately, the arsonist had planned it in advance and did not give them any way to escape. They tried their best but failed to save the people they wanted to save.
Mrs. Ruan was carried back to her own courtyard by the servants. Ruan Kang went outside his daughter's courtyard and cried so hard that he couldn't stand up.
He didn't know how to face his daughter. No matter what he said, it would make his daughter sad.
Later, he really couldn't open his mouth, so he came to find Xihe again and said, "Master, thank you for your concern for my daughter's matter. I will reward you handsomely after the matter is resolved."
"Okay." Xihe nodded and returned to Ruan Xinrou's yard.
At this time, Ruan Xinrou had already taken the medicine and her complexion looked much better.
When she saw Xihe, she immediately stood up and saluted Xihe: "Thank you, Taoist priest, for saving my life."
"Well, much better. Come and sit down. Your body is not suitable for standing for a long time." Xihe helped her sit down on the chair.
"Master, is there anything else you haven't explained yet?" Ruan Xinrou asked softly.
Xihe did not answer her question immediately, but reached out and patted her chest.
Soon, Ruan Xinrou felt her whole body warm up and no longer felt cold.
The depression in my heart was also swept away, and I no longer had the feeling of wanting to cry when I saw anything.
