Chapter 265
Jiang Xiaoxiao called her back.
"Hey, wait, Sister Yu'er, did your mistress eat the food sent by the ship last night?"
Yu'er, who was about to turn and leave, thought Jiang Xiaoxiao had changed her mind and was going to send medicine, so she nodded happily: "After my mistress took the seasickness medicine your mother gave her yesterday, she was much more energetic, and she naturally ate some of the food sent by the ship, and even ate an extra bowl of rice..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Xiaoxiao's face sink suddenly.
"Is, is there any problem?" Yu'er asked with some unease.
"No." Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Is your mistress's body okay?"
Yu'er nodded: "Except for being a bit seasick and unable to eat, everything else is fine..."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, then said: "I understand, you go back first. When my mother comes back, I will tell her about this."
Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao's bad face, Yu'er didn't ask anything more and left.
The moment the door closed, Jiang Xiaoxiao's face sank completely.
It seems that in the food sent yesterday afternoon, only their family's had a problem.
However, why did that group of people specifically drug the food of their mother and daughter?
They didn't offend those people either?
Knowing that someone on this ship had malice toward them, Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't dare to leave the room at will, but stayed in the room quietly waiting for Jiang Wei to return.
Jiang Wei did go to find Mr. Bai.
She went to ask which cook made the food yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Bai obviously didn't know either, just shook his head and said: "There are three cooks responsible for the food on this merchant ship, I don't know who it is specifically..."
Jiang Wei didn't ask the answer she wanted and could only say goodbye to Mr. Bai and leave.
The waiting time passed abnormally slowly.
Jiang Xiaoxiao stayed in the room alone, waiting anxiously.
Jiang Wei didn't come back for a long time.
Jiang Xiaoxiao gradually became worried.
She subconsciously touched the small pouch at her waist, and only felt a little more at ease when she touched the hard object inside.
That was the anesthetic gun Jiang Wei gave her.
Her mother said that this was an anesthetic made by one of her friends, and the effect was extremely strong. Just a little bit could make a one-ton elephant completely lose consciousness.
She didn't know what kind of danger was hidden on this merchant ship, but with this anesthetic gun, she at least had the ability to protect herself and wouldn't drag her mother down.
Jiang Xiaoxiao lay on the window, looking forward to it, and finally waited for Jiang Wei to return.
The moment the door opened, Jiang Xiaoxiao jumped down impatiently: "Mother, you finally came back. Did Mr. Bai say anything?"
Jiang Wei closed the door unhurriedly, sighed, and shook her head.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that her mother hadn't asked anything from Mr. Bai.
She immediately comforted: "It's okay, since they want to drug us, then we won't eat the food they send."
Jiang Wei took two steps forward, sat on the chair, and rubbed her forehead tiredly.
"There are helmsmen, ship workers, and cargo merchants on this merchant ship, as well as countless poor people. I just don't know where that group of people is hiding in some corner, looking for opportunities and waiting for an opportunity."
Jiang Xiaoxiao walked to the table, poured a cup of tea for her mother, and said: "It's okay, Mother, although they are in the dark and we are in the light, we have an anesthetic gun. If they dare to provoke us, we will shoot them unconscious and throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"
As she said this, she also clenched her little fist with high fighting spirit.
Jiang Wei couldn't help but be amused by her actions and reached out to touch her head: "Okay, I'll teach you how to use the gun later."
"Mother, that..." Jiang Xiaoxiao scratched her head embarrassedly, "Can we send some seasickness medicine to that wealthy mistress, and by the way, remind her not to eat the food on the ship..."
Jiang Wei was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay."
Seeing her mother agree, Jiang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know what's going on, but that wealthy mistress quite fits her eye.
She didn't want to be overly sympathetic, but once she thought that the wealthy mistress would encounter an accident, there was always a stuffy feeling in her heart.
The mother and daughter packed up and left the room, going to the guest room on the second floor.
Yu'er seemed to know they were coming and had been waiting outside the door for them early.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao, her eyes curved into smiles and she greeted them: "Xiaoxiao, you finally came, the mistress is inside."
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded at her: "My mother said that the seasickness medicine that works immediately is gone, but she brought another kind of medicine, which can also treat your mistress's seasickness, but it will make her a bit drowsy after taking it."
"No problem, no problem, as long as it can treat my mistress's seasickness." Yu'er waved her hand indifferently.
Since her mistress became pregnant, drowsiness was a common occurrence.
Entering the room, she saw the woman leaning on the bed with a pale face, vomiting until the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
The matron held a bowl in one hand and patted her mistress's back with the other.
The white-bearded old man on the side was sweating profusely, holding half a bowl of unfinished medicinal soup in his hand.
Yu'er hurriedly stepped forward, first stroked her mistress's back, then frowned and looked at the old man on the side: "What medicine did you give the mistress, why is she vomiting even more severely?"
The old man wiped the sweat on his forehead tremblingly: "The humble official... no, the old man doesn't know why this is either. Judging from the mistress's situation, she really can't continue to stay on the ship, she must get off the ship as soon as possible and find a stable place to rest."
Yu'er's tightly frowned eyebrows didn't loosen: "This merchant ship won't dock until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest."
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao quietly pulled her mother's sleeve.
Jiang Wei glanced at her helplessly, then stepped forward and took out the pill she had prepared.
"Mistress, I have another pill for seasickness here. However, you cannot eat for four hours after taking this medicine."
The old man's dissatisfied gaze was immediately cast over: "What kind of medicine is this again, why can't you eat after taking it? Do you know that the mistress is pregnant, if she can't eat, it will be bad for the fetus in the womb..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Wanwan's weak voice sounded: "Yu'er, bring the pill up... My little life is almost gone, who cares about the fetus."
She waved her hand, ordered Yu'er to present the pill, and then swallowed it with the clear water handed over by the matron.
The old man opened his mouth, originally wanting to persuade something, but seeing the mistress swallow the pill directly, he didn't say anything.
Forget it, although the Prince said that everything should be based on the fetus in the mistress's womb, if something happened to the mistress, he wouldn't be able to explain it either.
This pill was actually for pregnant women to stop vomiting, and it had the effect of calming the fetus, and there was no taboo against not eating, but in order to make her completely stop eating the food on the ship, she made up such a taboo.
Jiang Xiaoxiao observed the clear water that the maid and matron fed to the wealthy mistress, and was still a bit worried. If that group of robbers also poisoned the water, then all their efforts would be in vain...
