The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 501 Questioning

Not long after, Anyang Hou came over and happened to see Nanny Wang coming in with a bowl of steaming medicine. He asked with a worried look on his face, "Mother, what's wrong with you? What medicine are you taking?"

"This medicine is for that girl Siruo."

The old lady's headache came back again. She held the headband on her head with her hand, sighed, and spoke in a low voice.

"For Siruo? I saw that girl looked very well last night."

Marquis Anyang was a little puzzled.

The old lady lowered her voice and told Marquis Anyang that Caiyun had reported to her last night that the toad blood on Wang Siruo's arm had disappeared.

After hearing this, Marquis Anyang's face turned pale and he said to the old lady, "Mother, I will go with you to ask that girl what happened."

Quarter of an hour later, the old lady and Marquis Anyang came to Wang Siruo's courtyard with only Nanny Wang.

"Greetings, old lady, Lord Marquis!"

Caiyun was standing at the door with a few maids holding toiletries, waiting for Wang Siruo to get up. When she saw the old lady and the marquis coming, she hurriedly squatted and saluted.

"Miss, haven't you gotten up yet?"

Marquis Anyang asked with a gloomy face.

"Not yet. I will go and wake up the young lady."

Knowing why the Marquis looked unhappy, Caiyun quickly handed the tray in her hand to the maid behind her, opened the door, and hurried in.

"Grandma, Father, why are you here so early?"

When Wang Siruo got dressed and walked out from behind the screen, the old lady and Marquis Anyang were already sitting in the outer room waiting for her. She squatted down and bowed to them, then asked with some confusion.

"Except Nanny Wang, everyone else should go out."

Marquis Anyang did not answer Wang Siruo's words, but gave instructions to the servants.

Wang Siruo felt uneasy when he saw this, and looked carefully at the expressions of the old lady and Marquis Anyang.

After everyone left, the old lady's face turned pale and she said to Wang Siruo, "Roll up your left sleeve!"

Hearing the old lady's words, Wang Siruo remembered that although the traces left by the old man on her body disappeared through cultivation, her palace seal was also gone. Not only did she not roll up her sleeves, but she held her cuffs tightly, looked at the old lady and asked: "Grandma, why are you looking at your granddaughter's arm for no reason? Father is still here!"

The old lady didn't waste any words with her. Seeing that she was not cooperating, she winked at Nanny Wang.

Nanny Wang understood, put the tray in her hand on the table, walked quickly to Wang Siruo, and reached out to lift her sleeve.

Seeing this, Wang Siruo hurriedly said, "No need for me to help, Ma'am. I'll do it myself!"

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves without hesitation.

"Where is the toad blood on your arm? You didn't come home last night, what happened?"

Looking at the smooth arm, the old lady's last bit of hope completely disappeared, and she asked, covering her heart with her hand.

Seeing that Wang Siruo just lowered his head and didn't say anything, Anyang Hou spoke up: "Hurry up and tell me! Yesterday you ordered Cui'er to buy poison to poison Zhao Junhuan and others, and told Cui'er that you would return home first, but you didn't come back. What happened?"

"How are Zhao Junhuan and the others? Are they poisoned?"

Wang Siruo suddenly raised his head, looked at Anyang Hou excitedly and asked.

The old lady was so angry that she choked and started coughing loudly.

Nanny Wang quickly walked over to the old lady, stroked her chest and helped her calm down.

Anyang Hou was furious. He walked a few steps to Wang Siruo and slapped her in the face.

"You are an unfilial daughter. You are still hoping that they will be poisoned to death, right? Fortunately, they are fine. If they were killed, do you know how much trouble it would cause to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Wang Siruo covered her face, somewhat unable to believe that her father actually hit her!

Hearing that Zhao Junhuan and the others were safe and sound, Wang Siruo was filled with disappointment, tears in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and cried to Anyang Hou: "Dad, they killed my mother and made our mansion a laughing stock. I was avenging my mother, they all deserved to die!"

Seeing that Wang Siruo still showed no remorse, Marquis Anyang was so angry that he pointed at her and was speechless.

At this time, the old lady had recovered her breath. She told Nanny Wang, "Let the young lady take the contraceptive soup first!"

Nanny Wang respectfully accepted the order, brought the medicine on the table to Wang Siruo, and said, "Miss, do you want to drink it yourself, or should I feed you?"

Wang Siruo took the bowl of medicine without thinking, tilted her head back and drank it down in one gulp. She didn't want to give birth to that disgusting man's child.

"Tell me what happened last night. Did someone bully you? Daddy will send someone to catch that person and bring justice to you."

Looking at the obvious slap mark on the left side of Wang Siruo's face and the grievance in her eyes, thinking that she must be very sad to have her body defiled by someone, Marquis Anyang felt a little regretful. He tried hard to suppress his anger and asked Wang Siruo.

"I was in a bad mood last night and drank too much. I felt dizzy and couldn't find the way back to the mansion. I don't know what happened later. When I woke up, I was in a remote house outside the capital. A disgusting old man bullied my daughter. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't escape the man's clutches!"

Wang Siruo couldn't help vomiting twice when thinking of the old man. After taking a deep breath, he continued, "Later, a knight passing by rescued my daughter and sent her back to the capital. Those people were killed by the knight and thrown off the cliff. I think their bodies should have been eaten by wild beasts by now."

Wang Siruo kept the white-clothed man's instructions in mind and did not reveal anything about the evil cultivator, speaking half-truthfully.

"Get up! You've suffered! After a while, Dad will find a suitable marriage for you and marry you off. During this time, you should cultivate yourself in the mansion and don't go out and cause trouble!"

Marquis Anyang felt both distressed and disappointed with his daughter. After saying this, he bowed to the old lady and strode away.

"Si Ruo, this time you failed to harm others but instead harmed yourself. This lesson is too heavy for a woman. Do you know you are wrong? Your mother caused Cao Fangruo to fall off a cliff many years ago and almost died. Being beaten to death is her retribution. You are not allowed to cause trouble to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Cao Fangruo's family again. You must remember not to have the intention to harm others. Your father and I will carefully look for a man for you. His family background must be ordinary, but we will definitely choose a man with excellent appearance and character. I will ask Nanny Wang to send some Buddhist scriptures later. You can copy the Buddhist scriptures to calm your mind. I will ask the palace doctor to prescribe some medicine to warm your body. You can drink it for a while and recuperate."

"Grandma, I don't want to get married!"

From what her grandmother and father said, they wanted to marry her off as soon as possible. After what happened to Wang Siruo, she was very resistant to men and didn't want to get married. Besides, she had her own independent courtyard in the Marquis' Mansion, and it would not be easy for her to be discovered while she was practicing. So she looked at the old lady and begged.

"Nonsense! If you don't get married, are you going to be an old maid in the Marquis's mansion for the rest of your life?"

The old lady rubbed her temple and scolded in a low voice.

"Grandma, I don't want to get married, and I don't want any man to touch me!"

Wang Siruo looked stubborn.

Hearing this, the old lady sighed deeply, knowing that her granddaughter was traumatized by the man, and she slowed down her tone and said, "Okay, grandma promises you that I won't find you a husband for the time being, but you will eventually have to find a home. Come and talk to grandma when you have figured it out. Have a good rest, grandma is leaving first."

The old lady stood up and touched Wang Siruo's head, looked at her with a complicated expression, then left her yard with Nanny Wang.

"Miss, this was sent by the master!"

After the old lady left, Caiyun came in with a tray and reported to Wang Siruo.

Wang Siruo looked carefully and saw some nourishing medicines and a few boiled eggs.

Caiyun endured the heat and peeled off the egg skin, then quickly rolled it over Wang Siruo's red and swollen cheek.

Wang Siruo looked at Caiyun sideways in silence, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Why did grandma and father suddenly come to see her uterine blood today and bring contraceptive soup with them? This means they know that her uterine blood has disappeared. Only Caiyun saw her body last night, so it must be this bitch who went to tip off.

Seeing the young lady staring at her with a gloomy face without saying a word, Caiyun felt uneasy. She put away the cold eggs, picked up the tonics and said respectfully to Wang Siruo: "Young lady, I will go down and stew these tonics for you."

"Yeah! Go ahead!"

Wang Siruo did not expose her. He nodded coldly, looked at her back with an evil smile, and thought secretly.

"Since you are not loyal to me, I can't keep you. I will let you help me to practice further!"
