Chapter 102: Three Days of Drunkness

 The Peony Garden is particularly lively.

 The old lady was restless in the house, waiting anxiously for the news.

"Old madam, please sit down. Miss Wan'er will be fine."

Mama Zhao persuaded and pulled the old lady to sit down.

 “Old madam, people have brought it.”

A nun pushed Su Yuqing into the room and kicked her knees. Su Yuqing knelt directly on the ground.

Wen Yiyue followed behind, stumbling and looking panicked.

 When she caught a glimpse of Su Yuqing, the old lady became angry.

She didn't like Wen Yiyue at all, even if Su Yuqing and Su Chongzhong were her granddaughters and grandsons, she still looked down upon them.

If it weren't for her son and the child in Wen Yiyue's belly, she would not have allowed these three people to approach the Su Mansion.

Unexpectedly, something happened as soon as I arrived.

 “What medicine did you give Wan’er?”

 The old lady asked with a cold face.

Su Yuqing cried immediately, "Old madam, I didn't! How could I drug sister Wan'er."

 She really wasn’t drugged.

 How could she put medicine in the cakes she sent out?

Isn’t this just a case of letting people take advantage of it?

"Old madam, you are aware that this child Yuqing will not do such a thing."

Wen Yiyue held her belly and looked at the old lady pleadingly.

  It seems to be reminding the old lady that she is still pregnant with a child.

The old lady's eyes flashed slightly when she saw her actions. There was indeed something fishy about it. Wouldn't it be too fair to administer the drug like this?

"Old Madam." Doctor Zhang came out and gestured to the old Madam, his expression a bit ugly, "I'm afraid the eldest lady has been drunk for three days."

Su Leyun raised his eyebrows lightly when he saw Doctor Zhang. Doctor Zhang and Su Waner were the same, so there was no guarantee that he would not help Su Waner with some tricks.

 “What will happen to Wan’er after being drunk for three days?”

The old lady leaned on crutches and asked, with an anxious face, it was obvious that she was really worried about Su Wan'er.

Doctor Zhang replied: "These three days of drunkenness will put the eldest lady into a coma, and she will not be able to wake up for three whole days. When the eldest lady wakes up after three days, if she does not take the antidote, her body will gradually become exhausted."

“Doctor Zhang, can you make an antidote?”

As soon as she heard this, the old lady’s back bent, and her face became even more ugly.

Su Yuqing, who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling all over. She didn't know what three days of drunkenness was, so how could Su Waner be poisoned?

Wen Yiyue also clenched her fists, this was really weird.

"Don't worry, madam. I happen to know this three-day drunken man. If another doctor comes to consult, he might not be able to find out the problem. Just don't worry, I can make this antidote." Doctor Zhang paused. Then he said: "I will give the eldest lady an acupuncture later, maybe she can wake up early."

 “That’s good, that’s good, I’ll just trouble Doctor Zhang.”

 The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and was supported by Aunt Zhao.

 Doctor Zhang also looked around, his eyes met Su Leyun's, and then he immediately looked away.

Su Leyun narrowed his eyes, I am afraid this matter is not that simple.

Now that we know that Su Waner is fine, we should investigate the poisoning matter.

 The old lady sat on the main seat and looked coldly at Su Yuqing who was kneeling on the ground.

“You’d better tell me exactly what is going on.”

"Old Madam, Yuqing dare not lie to you. I really did not poison you. I have never heard of such a thing as being drunk for three days. Please be careful, Old Madam!"

Su Yuqing cried, her eyes filled with tears, but she couldn't make the old lady feel pity for her at all.

 “Bring the pastries over and let Doctor Zhang have a look.”

Soon, Su Waner’s maid Yuyao served the cakes.

 Doctor Zhang used a silver needle to probe and it immediately turned black.

 Apparently poisonous.

Su Leyun stared at the cake, thinking in his mind.

She has heard that Three Days of Drunkenness is a liquid that is colorless but has a fragrance, which is somewhat like the fragrance of apricot blossoms.

Perhaps it was a bit far away, so she didn't seem to smell anything.

Logically speaking, she should be able to smell it from this distance.

The old lady saw the silver needle and snorted coldly: "This pastry is really poisoned, what else do you have to explain?"

 “I really don’t know, I didn’t do it.”

Su Yuqing just kept saying this sentence over and over again. She didn't know why the cake was poisoned, but she knew very well that she couldn't accept it.

Wen Yiyue's eyes turned red, and she knelt down, "Old madam, Yu Qing really wouldn't do this. Yu Qing and I made this cake together, and everyone in the yard has come into contact with this cake. What's more, We are temporarily staying in the Su Mansion, how could we poison Miss Su?"

What he said was true, but it was also true that Su Wan'er was poisoned now. Just as the old lady was thinking about it, she saw Su Changqing walking in in a hurry.

 Seeing Wen Yiyue kneeling on the ground, he stepped forward to help him up.

Wen Yiyue met his gaze, shook her head slightly, and cast her eyes in one direction.

It is Su Leyun.

Su Changqing clearly saw Su Leyun, but didn't care. He stretched out his hand and pulled Wen Yiyue up.

"Changying said you are pregnant, what if you hurt the child?" Su Changqing said, glancing at Su Leyun, "You are a relative of Lu Hong, and naturally a relative of our Su family. Don't wrong yourself."

 The following sentence seems to be an explanation to Su Leyun.

Su Leyun lowered his head and sneered.

Fortunately, my mother didn't come, otherwise she would have vomited out last night's meal when she saw these two people acting pretentious.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Wen Yiyue slowly let go of her hand, and her fingertips traced across Su Changqing's palm without leaving a trace. Then she raised her head and looked at Su Changqing with tearful eyes, "Master Hou, Yu Qing will never do this. I hope that you and the old lady will investigate this matter for Yu Qing."

“Don’t worry, I will definitely find out the truth of the matter.”

Su Changqing then looked at Su Yuqing and quickly ordered, "Hurry and help Yuqing up."

 “Master Hou.”

 The old lady reminded, but Su Changqing did not listen.

 The son, who had always been filial, started to go against her will for a woman, which made the old lady who always liked to control the situation feel uneasy.

Her cold gaze passed over Wen Yiyue. This woman was really powerful, so she had to be careful.

"Mother, the matter has not been decided yet. Yuqing should not be allowed to kneel down. She is also a guest in the house after all."

 When Su Yuqing was helped up, Su Changqing realized what he had just done and quickly explained to the old lady.

The old lady pointed at the pastry, "This is the pastry she sent. Wan'er fell unconscious after eating this pastry. If it wasn't her who poisoned her, who else could it be?"

“Mom, didn’t cousin Wen just say that? There are quite a few people who have access to pastries. Maybe someone among them was poisoned.”

 Cousin in one sentence, everyone present showed different expressions.

Su Leyun suppressed the feeling of nausea. Why didn't she know that Su Changqing was so shameless before?
