Not long after, Xu Hui, who had already prepared the meal, called out, "Ah Shun, please treat the three benefactors to dinner!"

Just like before, the three members of Xu Hui's family took out the best food to entertain the distinguished guests, and Lan Yao followed their arrangement and sat in the small courtyard. Seeing the table full of delicious food, she couldn't help saying:

"I'm going to trouble sister Xu this time!"

This is a simple peasant family, and now they have the help of Lan Yao and the other three. Naturally, every bit of kindness is kept in his heart, Xu Hui waved his hands again and again and said:
"No trouble, no trouble, if there were no three benefactors, how would we have the happy and peaceful life we ​​have today."

Xu Shun also hurriedly took over the conversation, and greeted: "Come here, please have a taste, it's a bit slow to treat your benefactor with simple tea and light food."

Looking at the steamed fish and braised pork ribs on the table, Lan Yao understood, and said with a smile, "Don't be too slow, you might only be willing to eat these dishes once during the holidays, right?"

After being pointed out, Xu Shun smiled embarrassingly and said: "Although our family is not rich, we still have money to entertain our benefactors. You must not be polite. This is the intention of our couple."

"That's right, benefactor, try this. This is our special fermented glutinous rice ball soup. It's very good!" Xu Hui pushed the soup in front of Lan Yao, and said enthusiastically.

The three of Lan Yao came here for dinner, and they were not polite this time, they quickly moved their chopsticks, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After Lan Yao drank two mouthfuls of glutinous glutinous rice ball soup, her face turned pale, her blood surged up, and she said uncomfortably: "Qingli, there seems to be something wrong with this soup, I, I'm very—"

Ye Qingli's eyes turned cold, and she immediately threw her chopsticks to touch her pulse, and said in shock, "You are poisoned!"

"How is it possible?" Lan Yao was also shocked, she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of black blood when she got emotional.

The sudden change instantly broke the joyous atmosphere. Realizing that something was wrong, Chai Yu quickly pointed the finger at Xu Shun and his wife who were also shocked, drew out the long sword, and asked sharply:

"Who did it?"

Xu Shun was also shocked, and said in disbelief: "This, this is impossible, we... how dare we murder our benefactor, what is going on?"

Ye Qingli took out the silver needle and tested the most suspected bowl of fermented glutinous rice ball soup. Sure enough, the silver needle turned black as soon as she put it in, but when she tested the soup in her own bowl again, she found nothing abnormal.

"It's just arsenic inside." Ye Qingli took out the Jiuhua Yulu pills that she always had on her body and fed them to Lan Yao. Although her face was serious, she didn't take this most common poison too seriously.

Seeing that things had suddenly turned into this way, Xu Hui felt anxious and worried, and quickly explained:
"No, I didn't do it. Why did this thing appear in our house? It's really...it's not us, my benefactor Mingjian, I swear, it's absolutely not...it wasn't us who did it."

"Yaoyao, after you take this pill, use your true energy to force out the toxins in your body, and you should be fine."

Ye Qingli, who felt very strange after the explanation, tested all the soups in the bowls of the five people present, and found that only Lan Yao's bowl was really poisonous.

So targeted, is this specially prepared for Lan Yao, Her Majesty the Empress...

Lan Yao's heart sank slightly, after taking the elixir, she looked at the couple who had knelt down to her, she couldn't bear it, and said hastily:

"They shouldn't have done this. They wouldn't be so stupid to use this method to only harm me. Maybe there's something else hidden. Qingli, please check it out for me!"

Ye Qingli saw that Lan Yao's face was as pale as paper and she was still worrying about others. She was blaming herself for not discovering the poison in the soup in time, so she hurriedly urged people who didn't take their bodies seriously to sit cross-legged and said:
"Okay, okay, I'm not that stupid to distinguish between right and wrong, don't worry, I have full power to handle this matter, and I will give you a satisfactory result."

Lan Yao was already in unbearable pain, after hearing this, she finally didn't stop, and went to force the poison first.

"Yaoyao believes that you will not avenge your kindness, but there is no guarantee that there will be other secrets here." Ye Qingli's suspicious eyes fell on the husband and wife who had already knelt on the ground and began to defend themselves, and said in a businesslike manner:

"Tell me, besides you, who else has these meals passed through?"

Seeing Chai Yu standing beside her with a long sword in her hand and looking stern and selfless, Ye Qingli also felt that something was wrong, and said hastily:
"Okay, before the matter is clear, don't shout and kill, put it away first."

Chai Yu's face was cold and his heart was hot. He had no intention of doing anything to this young couple at first, but he was just afraid that Lan Yao would kill in a fit of anger to pre-empt the strike. Seeing Ye Qingli's calm questioning, he also put it down. sword in hand.

Under the absolute disadvantage, Xu Shun didn't have the intention to fight head-on with Lan Yao and the others, and quickly said:
"Huihui, think about it carefully, what went wrong, was it an accident or someone—"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Hui, who was so wronged and panicked that she was about to cry, suddenly remembered something and said in shock: "Yes, it's Grandma Chen from the opposite door. She came to give me chicken just now. Seeing that I'm too busy, she can't help it." Stand for me for a while, and she also brought many dishes to the table."

"It turns out that it was her who spoke outside the house just now. If you didn't do this, it can be explained." When the matter has evolved to this point, Ye Qingli also felt very tired, and gave Chai Yu a look Said: "Go, bring people over to ask!"

Chai Yu went away in response, but Xu Hui, whose eyes were red, couldn't figure out the reason behind this:

"This, this is impossible. Grandma Chen has never met her benefactor. How could she think of using poison to assassinate Miss Lan? She has always been kind to others and helped us a lot. How could she do such a thing this time?"

"Then I'll have to ask her about it." Ye Qingli's eyes darkened, as if she had made a judgment: "But I think she should have a reason."

Xu Hui didn't realize the implication of Ye Qingli's words, but Xu Shun, who had seen many big scenes, faintly realized the seriousness of the matter, and a very bold guess emerged in his heart.

Is it...

Not long after, Chai Yu grabbed an old woman and walked into the courtyard. The woman was wrinkled and looked old, but seeing Lan Yao still sitting there, the smug smile froze on her face for a while. , Immediately shouted in a mournful voice:
"Female tyrant, why are you not dead, how can you not be dead?"

As soon as he said a word, everyone was shocked.

"When I went, she was about to take her sickly grandson to commit suicide, so she left this confession on the table." Chai Yu had obviously read the content above, and said with a bit of embarrassment:
"She's not that bad, it's just that her life is too bitter, and she wants to take revenge on the culprit who caused all this."

"It seems that your heart is not as cold as your face?" Ye Qingli took the short confession letter, every word on it was full of resentment and curse, making people feel even more sad after reading it .
