Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 521: Drugged? It was Aunt Ru who did it

"Okay! I didn't know you were thinking this way. You did something wrong and shameless, yet you dare to put the blame on me!" Shen Wenting's face darkened: "You said I was the one who ignored you. Well, then why did you attack the old lady? How did the old lady do you wrong? I made you kill her at all costs!"

After the old lady got into trouble, the nanny and the old lady had been keeping an eye on her. Yesterday, when she came to feed the old lady, she intentionally sent the nanny away. The nanny felt something was wrong and kept an eye out. Sure enough, she saw Runiang putting medicine into the old lady's bowl. She couldn't believe that it was Runiang who did it.

After discovering that Aunt Ru had poisoned the woman, the nanny remained calm and did what the master ordered. She replaced the bowl of porridge with another one, and then had someone spread the news that the old lady was seriously ill again, so that Aunt Ru would relax her guard and feel that everything was safe.

She showed the medicine to Yao Qingnian. It contained powdered rhubarb, castor seeds, etc. Taking a small amount would not be fatal, but would only cause stomach upset. However, if so much was mixed together, it would be enough to kill a person, especially an elderly and frail patient like the old lady.

"I have served her for so many years, and she always said that she treated me as her own daughter, but she forgot everything when she got something good! She never cared about me when I entered the mansion. The day Yan Huan entered the mansion, I was so sick that I was stabbed half to death by her wet nurse. Did she care about my life or death?! The old lady came over and asked a few simple questions. She didn't listen to my explanation at all. She put all the blame on the maid next to me and beat her up! That's why I hate her!"

"You want to harm my mother just because of such a small matter! Vicious woman!!"

"A small matter? Hahaha!" In his opinion, her life or death is a small matter?

"Someone, come! Lock up Aunt Ru! Never let her step out of the room again! And this traitorous slave, drag her out and sell her to a brothel!"

"Shen Wenting! Chan'er is my maid, what qualifications do you have to sell her out!"

"Do you think I have the qualifications?" Shen Wenting was furious.

Seeing that Shen Wenting was serious, Runiang panicked: "Master, I beg you, I was wrong in this matter, please spare Chan'er for the many years I have served you, and punish me if you want!"

Runiang crawled to Shen Wenting's side, hugged his legs and begged desperately.

"When you did these things, did you ever think that this day would come?" Shen Wenting kicked her away and left without looking back.

Chan'er was still taken away by them. Aunt Ru lay on the ground in despair, with no one around her. She endured the pain in her body and crawled up, crying and begging Shen Wenting to let her go, but there was no response.

Shen Haobo didn't know where he heard the news. When he learned that Aunt Ru was locked up, he ran to her yard to take a look, but Shen Wenting's people wouldn't let him in. He had no choice but to go to Shen Wenting angrily and asked, "Father, what did my mother do wrong to make you so angry? You want to lock her up."

"This is a matter between her and me, so stay out of it and take care of yourself first!" Shen Wenting didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he ordered his men to keep their mouths shut and not to leak a single word.

"Father, my mother has been with you for so many years. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. Please forgive him this time for the sake of her years of service to you!"

"Get out of here!" Shen Wenting's anger, which had just subsided, was aroused again. If it weren't for Shen Haobo and their friendship over the years, he would have beaten that slut Runiang to death long ago.

"Father!" Shen Haobo wanted to say something else, but seeing Shen Wenting's ugly face, he had to retreat. He couldn't figure out why his mother was locked up. After hesitating, he decided to ask Yan Huan first, but he sent someone to send a letter to Yan Huan, but he didn't get a response for a long time.

Ever since Shen Wenting came back, Yan Huan had no intention of continuing to associate with Shen Haobo. She just wanted to live a down-to-earth life. When he sent her a message, she pretended not to see it and forbade anyone in the courtyard to contact him again.

Now that his mother was locked up and his father didn't care about him, the money he had was soon spent. He had no choice but to secretly send a letter to Yan Huan again, but still got no response. In the end, he had no choice but to wait for her outside Yan Huan's yard.

That day, he finally got the chance. Yan Huan was not accompanied by a maid. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he covered Yan Huan's mouth and dragged him behind the rockery.

"Help..." Yan Huan was frightened by this sudden scene. He thought there was a bad guy and wanted to shout for help.

"Shh! Huan'er! It's me!" Shen Haobo let her go.

"It's you, what are you doing?!"

"Huan'er, I sent you messages again and again wanting to see you, but you ignored me. I had no choice but to come find you." Shen Haobo hugged him.

"Let me go first. It's not that I don't want to see you, but the situation in the mansion is tense right now. The master comes here often, and I have to take care of the old lady. How can I have the time?"

"Really? You're not avoiding me on purpose?"

"Of course not." Yan Huan first comforted him.

"I thought you were going to ignore me. By the way, I want to ask you, do you know why my father locked my mother up?"

"Master Haobo, your mother has made a big mistake. I advise you not to get involved in this matter. Otherwise, if the master gets angry, I'm afraid you will be implicated as well."

"Big mistake, what big mistake?!" Shen Haobo looked confused.

"Poisoning the old lady!" Yan Huan did not tell him that Runiang had an affair.

"Poisoning the old lady, this... this is impossible!" Shen Haobo was surprised. Why would his mother poison the old lady? The old lady was just an old woman and would not affect her?

"I also heard about it from the servants. The master didn't allow anyone to make it public, fearing that it would affect his reputation. Auntie was beaten and is now alone in the yard. If you care about her, go and ask the master to hire a doctor for her!"

"What! He even beat my mother!" Shen Haobo immediately became angry. What right did he have to beat his mother? They were an orphan and a widow who had depended on each other for so many years. He had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and a father. He had finally brought them back home, but he treated his mother like this. Even if he had done something wrong, he couldn't beat his mother! What kind of man is Shen Wenting!

"Okay, I should go back now. If someone sees us, not only your mother but both of us will be in trouble." Yan Huan looked around vigilantly.
