Li Miaoyi had been back to the courtyard for a while, but Meng Chuncai and his people arrived late.

Meng Chun walked in quickly, panting heavily, and said, "Miss, how is Aunt Lin doing now? I brought the doctor and Po Wen here."

Li Miaoyi's mouth curled up and she said, "Mother and son are safe."

Meng Chun was stunned, obviously not expecting Li Lin to move so quickly. However, Meng Chun saw an extra table suddenly appeared on the side and asked, "Miss, haven't you had lunch? What are you doing?"

Li Miaoyi then remembered and said, "Go and ask the doctor outside to come in."

"Yes, ma'am."

Meng Chun turned around and went out. After a while, the doctor followed him in. It was the same doctor who checked Li Lin's body last time.

Li Miaoyi nodded at him, then pointed to the table next to her and said, "Mr. doctor, could you please help me see if there is any food on this table that can cause premature labor for pregnant women?"

"Yes." The doctor's face looked as usual. In wealthy families, such premature births, miscarriages, and even the death of one person and two people during childbirth are not uncommon. After seeing them many times, the doctor is used to it.

The doctor walked slowly to the table, picked up an empty plate, and started looking at the dishes one by one.

In an instant, he looked at most of the table, but so far, he didn't find anything wrong. After a while, all the delicacies on the table were finished, but the doctor's brows became more and more frowned.

After putting down his chopsticks, the doctor walked up to Li Miaoyi and asked, "Miss, does this pregnant woman eat like this every day?"

Li Miaoyi tilted her head and glanced, nodded, and said, "But what's wrong?"

The doctor nodded solemnly and said, "Actually, every single dish is a medicinal supplement that is extremely beneficial to pregnant people, but the quantity is really too much."

After a pause, the doctor looked at the confusion in Li Miaoyi's eyes and said, "In layman's terms, it means it has been repaired. This situation may lead to stillbirth, or one body and two lives."

Hearing this, Li Miaoyi frowned. After what happened last time, Li Jiangshi was afraid that Li Sunshi would continue to harm Li Linshi, so all the meals were cooked in the small kitchen in Li Linshi's yard. Every day they The meals used are all different.

Li Miaoyi's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, she turned to look at Meng Chun, and said, "Go and bring everyone in the small kitchen in Aunt Lin's courtyard. Remember, there are not many of them."

"Yes, miss." After saying that, Meng Chun withdrew.

Li Miaoyi nodded to the doctor and said, "Please go and show that child."

"Yes, Miss."

After a while, a little maid took the doctor to Li Lin's yard.

Li Miaoyi's eyes flashed involuntarily. In the entire Li family, if Li Lin gave birth to a child, only Li Qizhe's interests would be affected, and Li Sun would naturally not let the child be born. If it was a man, Li Qizhe would be an additional threat. .

After a while, the cook from the small kitchen was brought.

There are three people in total, two are slightly older and one is still younger.

Li Miaoyi didn't say anything, just looked at the three of them intently. She saw the young cook couldn't help but rub her hands on the corner of her clothes. Li Miaoyi couldn't help but have a plan in her heart. Next, she would pay special attention to the little cook. .

Li Miaoyi asked, "Which of you usually cooks Aunt Lin's meals?" The two older cooks said, "Miss, the two of us exchange one spoonful a day."

Hearing this, Li Miaoyi narrowed her eyes, looked at the young cook with sharp eyes and asked, "What about you?"

"Back... back to the eldest lady... I am the assistant cook and helps in the small kitchen every day." The little cook lowered her head. Li Miaoyi couldn't see the expression on her face, but she never stopped rubbing her clothes. .

Li Miaoyi took a sip from the tea cup next to her and said, "You two, please step aside first." After that, she looked at the little cook and said, "You, stay."

"Yes." After saying that, the two of them withdrew, and the little cook looked up at Li Miaoyi. Her eyes were big and full of fear.

After they both went out, Li Miaoyi finally said, "Do you know Aunt Sun?"

The little cook was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, her body trembling slightly, and she knelt on the ground without daring to raise her head. She slowly said, "Miss, how can a servant, a cook, know Aunt Sun so well?"

Li Miaoyi chuckled lightly, played with the teacup in her hand, and said, "People need to be self-aware. It would be bad if they were shameless."

The little cook kowtowed to Li Miaoyi and said, "Miss, I am at fault. I am at fault."

Li Miaoyi took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Where did you go wrong?"

The little cook trembled and said, "This slave shouldn't...shouldn't..."

Li Miaoyi looked at her sweating profusely and frightened and couldn't speak clearly and said, "What benefits did Aunt Sun give you?"

"I gave my slave's family ten taels of silver."

Li Miaoyi nodded and said, "What did she ask you to do?"

The little cook said, "Aunt Sun gave me a recipe and asked me to tell the two cooks how to make meals according to this recipe."

Li Miaoyi snorted softly and said, "Do you know what the recipe does?"

The little cook shook her head blankly and said, "I don't know."

Li Miaoyi slapped the table, made a "bang" sound, and said, "You don't know anything, how dare you prepare meals for Aunt Lin according to that recipe?"

The little cook looked mournful and said, "My brother lost a lot of money in the gambling house. My mother said that if I can't get the money out, she will starve my grandfather to death."

After saying that, her eyes turned red, she looked up at Li Miaoyi and said, "I can't help you, my father. My father passed away early, and my mother only cares about my brother. I was sold to the slave market, and I was lucky enough to be bought back by the housekeeper. I Grandfather is in poor health, and now he can only lie on the bed every day, slave... slave, I am the only one who treats slave well, eldest lady."

After saying that, the little cook kept kowtowing to Li Miaoyi and said, "Miss, please spare me this time. If I die, my grandfather will definitely not survive, eldest lady."

Li Miaoyi was silent for a while, and then she said coldly, "Did you know that Aunt Lin almost died after eating that meal of yours?"

The little cook stopped kowtowing for a moment. She was obviously frightened. She raised her head blankly and even her tears stopped. She said, "I don't know, miss. Aunt Sun told the slave that this meal will only Let Aunt Lin’s child be born late.”

Li Miaoyi chuckled lightly and said, "I can let you go. I can even give you the deed of sale after the incident, and I can also arrange a place for you and your grandfather."
