This granddaughter resembled his deceased daughter the most.
In the blink of an eye, she had grown so much.
The old Marquis’s gaze softened as he asked, “What is it?”
“Please come to where I was resting earlier.”
Before the old Marquis could react, Jiang Zhan was already helping him up, “Grandfather, let me assist you.”
“I don’t need your help,” the old Marquis grumbled, tapping Jiang Zhan’s hand with his pipe.
This foolish boy was in league with his sister.
Jiang Zhan wasn’t offended and just grinned.
Back in the previous room, the old Marquis tucked his pipe into his waist and looked at Jiang Si.
“Grandfather, please sit down first,” Jiang Yi helped the old Marquis to a seat.
What Fourth Sister was about to say was too shocking; it was better for Grandfather to be seated first.
The old Marquis sensed something amiss and frowned at Jiang Si.
In others’ eyes, this girl was a Princess Consort, but to him, she was still his little granddaughter. If she was being foolish, he would certainly scold her.
“Grandfather, when I visited Grandmother today, I discovered something,” Jiang Si began.
“What is it?”
“Grandmother isn’t ill; she’s been poisoned.”
“Say that again!” The old Marquis suddenly shed his frail demeanor, his eyes flashing with sharpness.
Jiang Zhan looked bewildered.
Jiang Si didn’t flinch at all and firmly repeated, “Grandmother isn’t ill; she’s been poisoned!”
The old Marquis stared intently at Jiang Si, his voice stern, “Fourth girl, do you have any proof for what you’re saying?”
“Grandmother’s body is the proof. I can force out the poison, but I need your help, Grandfather.”
The old Marquis’s face regained its composure as he asked in a deep voice, “How can I help?”
Jiang Si looked towards the door and said deliberately, “I need to find the poisoner. Please gather all the elders of the household together first.”
“Are you saying… the poisoner is among them?” The old Marquis’s expression changed doubt in his eyes.
Jiang Si said calmly, “Mother’s symptoms back then were the same as Grandmother’s. Where do you think the poisoner is most likely to be found?”
The old Marquis was stunned for a moment, anger surging in his eyes, “I’ll call them over!”
“No, please have them all go to Grandmother’s room.”
Soon after, many people had gathered in the outer room of the old Madam’s chambers.
Uncle Su looked inside and said to the old Marquis, “Father, Mother is asleep. All of us being here might disturb her.”
