Conspiracy

Chapter 90
"Then are they seriously ill?"

"Master, don't worry. All you need is acupuncture for detoxification, supplemented by medicine, and the old lady and the eldest lady will live in peace."

"That's good." Su Tingye breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Zhen's eyes wandered between Aunt Liu and Yan Huiran, "Doctor He, you just said that elder sister has been poisoned, what caused it?"

"The old man hasn't found out yet, but the eldest miss ate a lot of lotus seeds before lunch, and detoxified some of the toxins by accident."

"Sister Baiji, when you were in the Buddhist temple recently, did anyone send you anything edible?"

Bai Ji recalled carefully, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, the old lady planned to come back later, but Aunt Liu sent people to send a lot of things, and wanted to ask the old lady to return home early."

The further she went on, the lower her voice became, and Aunt Liu pointed at her and scolded, "You little hoof, are you trying to frame me!"

"I don't dare! But what I said is true." Bai Ji was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground.

Only then did Yan Huiran realize that it was Aunt Liu who wanted to frame her deliberately, but this method was too clumsy.

"Aunt Liu, what exactly did you give?"

"This sister, I just haven't seen the old lady for a long time, and I really miss her, so I sent some fabrics and food over there."

"Oh? Eat? For example?" Su Zhen's voice was drawn out, making it clear that she wanted to see her play.

"I just sent some honey. The master gave me a lot before, so I thought about sending some to my aunt."

The corners of Su Zhen's lips curled up, "Honey? Eldest sister doesn't like sweets, so she should eat it very rarely. But within a few days, the toxin broke out. According to the book, honey is eaten with tofu or some dishes. It is very likely to cause deafness and blindness. Aunt Liu, is Zhen'er right?"

Aunt Liu pretended to be calm, "How do I know this? What's more, how do I know that those cooks will add honey to the dishes? If it's really me, if something happens, I will definitely not be able to escape the responsibility."

"Oh, auntie, don't panic! Zhen'er was just asking casually, and finding the source of the mercury is the most important thing now."

"Yes, yes! I will never harm the old lady. As long as I find mercury, I can find the murderer!"

Su Zhenxiu frowned, pretending to be suspicious, "But I didn't find it in the cook's house, or the grandmother's maid's room, so could it be hidden by someone?"

Aunt Liu didn't realize at all that she had been led astray by Su Zhen, and now she just wanted to get rid of the relationship as soon as possible.She was not favored in the first place, if it wasn't for the old lady, she wouldn't be arrogant, if news of her harming the old lady spread again, I'm afraid there would no longer be a place for their mother and son in this mansion.

"Yes! Master, you must find out the ins and outs, and find the real culprit for the old lady and the young miss."

Su Tingye glanced at the crowd, and said a word in a cold voice, "Search!"

"Yes!"

Su Zhen put away her previous aggression, sat back on the bed and held Su Shen'er's hand, but the latter felt that her 'brother' was completely different from the rumors.Close observers are fascinated by onlookers, she clearly had an innocent and harmless smile and tone, forcing Aunt Liu to panic.

A while later, Steward Su reported again, but still failed to find any clues of mercury.

"Huh? Did Zhen'er guess wrong?" Su Zhen stroked her chin with one hand, and winked at Su Shen'er quietly.

She quickly came to her senses, and said to Su Tingye in a weak voice, "Father, forget it, grandma is kind-hearted, and she probably doesn't want to see the house restless."
