Chapter 27 Harmful
"What are you talking about, mother-in-law? My husband's child is my child and I will take good care of him." Xu Shuhe quickly took over the conversation.

Just kidding, if she doesn't speak up, she will become a black-hearted stepmother. What Feng said was either pointing out that the couple didn't care about their children, or implying that Xu Shuhe cared about Chunliu and didn't like Jun'er, and was not fulfilling her responsibilities as a stepmother.

If Feng was really asked to take the child away to be taken care of, who knows what unpleasant things would be said right away.

Chen Zhi obviously understood the seriousness of the matter, so he immediately agreed.

"Shuhe has always been considerate, and with the help of a wet nurse who is familiar with Jun'er, she will definitely be able to take good care of him."

"Yes, mother-in-law, you are old, and this young child is the most difficult to take care of. I can't let you worry about it." Xu Shuhe took the opportunity to show his filial piety.

But this sentence about being old almost made Feng unable to hold back her expression.

No woman likes to be criticized for being old.

But she didn't know what to say, so she could only smile and said, "Okay, if you have any questions about taking care of the child, feel free to ask me or your second sister-in-law."

"Yes." Xu Shuhe nodded.

Chen Huaiqian liked to see a family having fun the most, and now he had a smiling face.

After a few more pleasantries, he took Feng away.

Only after they left did Xu Shuhe put away the smile on his face.

"A cat cries over a mouse's false mercy."

"She's always like this." Chen Zhi whispered, "She came here to show her concern today just to make it seem like the two of us don't care about the child."

Xu Shuhe curled her lips, "If I really give it to her, I don't know how the child will be abused."

"That may not be the case." Chen Zhi lowered his eyes and muttered.

"What did you say?" Xu Shuhe turned and asked him.

Chen Zhi waved his hand again, "Nothing, go see the child."

Xu Shuhe nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

That night, Jun Ge'er moved into Xu Shuhe's courtyard. Xu Shuhe ordered people to clean up the south wing and asked him to move in.

It was while he was busy with these things that Chen Zhi discovered that Xu Shuhe's hand was bitten.

"It's okay, I've already applied medicine. It's hot this day and bandaging the wound would easily suffocate it, so I didn't wrap it with cloth." Xu Shuhe didn't care much.

Originally, she was not a delicate young lady.

Chen Zhi looked at him with a frown on his face, "From now on, Jun-ge'er will live in your courtyard and let the maids take care of him. You don't have to do everything yourself."

"What? Don't you feel sorry for your own son?" Xu Shuhe said quickly.

But after she finished speaking, she felt that it was quite rude, so she tried to smooth things over, "Well, I mean, don't worry, I won't treat him harshly."

After saying this, Xu Shuhe ordered people to prepare dinner.

After all this trouble, I'm so hungry.

However, she did not notice that when she said the words "son", Chen Zhi's face darkened and his eyes fluctuated.

But that’s all in the future. What’s most important right now is to have enough food to eat.

Anyway, starting from today, Jun Ge'er will temporarily live with Xu Shuhe.

The next day, the child's condition had improved, but he still didn't like to see Xu Shuhe. Xu Shuhe was happy to be free, so she thought, "If not, then don't see me. In three days, Zhou's aunt will be here, and she has no time to look after the child."

But unexpectedly, Jun Geer felt unwell again the next afternoon, still vomiting and having diarrhea, but better than yesterday. I asked a doctor to see him, who said he was not fully recovered yet, and that he just needed to take medicine and pay more attention to his diet.

Xu Shuhe agreed, and instructed the kitchen to prepare food for Jun Ge'er, making it easy to digest and less oily.

Even though we were being so careful, the child's condition relapsed in the middle of the night and we had to feed him medicine and coax him into sleep.

The next morning, Xu Shuhe asked someone to invite a doctor to see him. The doctor was also puzzled as to why the condition had become more serious.

Finally, I thought that it was probably because the child vomited so much that he vomited out all the medicine, so I reminded him again that if the child vomited after taking the medicine, he should be fed again and make sure he took enough medicine.

But no one expected that Jun Ge'er not only did not get better, but his high fever wouldn't go away, and he even had diarrhea and bleeding. Not only could he not take medicine, he even vomited when he drank water.

This scared Xu Shuhe.

I was very anxious, wondering if the child's spleen and stomach were damaged when he was induced to vomit on the day of food poisoning, so it would be difficult for him to recover afterwards?
In this age of backward medical technology, it is impossible to even take a film.

Not only was she anxious, but Feng, who acted like a good grandmother, was also anxious and came to see the baby again and again.

Li Mingzhu, the second sister-in-law, also came to see.

That is, after Li Mingzhu arrived, she discovered something while talking.

On the day when Jun'er ate bad shrimps and got food poisoning, Li Mingzhu's daughter Yan'er also ate shrimps for lunch. The child was one year younger than Jun'er, but she was fine.

After hearing this, Xu Shuhe felt that there was something wrong. Maybe it wasn’t about the shrimp?

Mrs. Feng actually expressed the same guess as her and immediately ordered someone to go to the kitchen to check.

And this investigation actually led to the discovery of Xu Shuhe.

When Mrs. Qin, who was in charge of helping in the kitchen, knelt on the ground and said that Xu Shuhe had instructed her to tamper with Jun Ge'er's food in order to kill him, Xu Shuhe's eyes widened.

"What nonsense are you talking about, old woman? Our young lady has always been kind-hearted. She has taken good care of our brother these days. How could she do such a thing?" Xinyue became anxious and immediately scolded the old woman.

But Granny Qin said, "Miss Xinyue, how can you not admit it? It was you who told me that getting rid of Chunliu was not enough, and that we had to get rid of that little evildoer as well. How come you are turning your back on it now?"

After saying that, he quickly crawled towards Xu Shuhe, crying.

"Young Madam, you can't just abandon me. I obey your orders. Please save me!"

"What on earth is going on, Third Brother's wife, did you really instigate this?" Feng slammed the table in anger, "You girl, you are so cruel. Jun'er is Sanlang's biological child. Even if you don't like his biological mother, you shouldn't harm the child!"

At this point, how could Xu Shuhe not guess that this was a big plan set up by Feng.

No wonder Feng offered to help take care of Jun'er that day. It turned out that she wanted to send the child to her yard so as to create the illusion that she had the opportunity to take action.

Xu Shuhe pinched his palms to force himself to calm down, then ignored Feng's questioning and looked straight into Mrs. Qin's eyes with sharp eyes.

"You said you were working for me, but that's just empty talk. Where's the evidence? Think carefully. If you slander your master, you'll be dead. Even if someone promised to save your life behind your back, it's all empty talk. I don't know how much good that person promised you to let you slander me, but remember, I won't die for what happened today, and as long as I'm still alive, I will investigate this matter. By then, what will be your fate? Think carefully for yourself!"

She was so full of energy and pointed out the disadvantages that she frightened Mrs. Qin and left her speechless for a moment.

Indeed, even if Xu Shuhe was severely punished for today's incident, he would not lose his life.

At this time, Li Mingzhu on the side spoke in a deep voice, "You, old woman, think it through. You are also an old lady in the mansion. Your husband and children are all working in the mansion. Don't be confused and gossip about it."

When mentioning her husband and children, Mrs. Qin seemed to remember something. She gritted her teeth and kowtowed immediately.

"Madam, Madam Second Young Master, I dare not lie. It was Madam Third Young Master who ordered me to do this. There are gifts from Madam Third Young Master in my bag. Please send someone to search!"
