Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space
Chapter 2207 Beidi Poison
At this moment, Shangguan Chu had already closed the door and walked over. Looking at the medicine residue, her face changed. She coughed lightly and hurriedly ordered the servants: "Hurry up and take out the medicine residue that the young master drank. Don't let it affect the lady's consultation."
"Yes, young lady."
The little maidservant responded and stepped forward. Facing Shangguan Chu's panic-stricken look, Wan Shufang said nothing. She had just taken a little bit of the medicine residue and no one would notice anything.
Only after the little maid left did Wan Shufang begin to treat Xiao Jingheng.
After the acupuncture, she found an excuse and hurriedly left the Xiao family, with the medicine residue in her sleeve. She had to go back early to check this thing thoroughly.
After returning to the mansion, Wan Shufang gave the medicine residue to her confidant and asked him to investigate. Three full days passed before she finally confirmed that the poison Xiao Jingheng was infected with was the chronic poison specially made by Beidi.
"It's actually related to the Northern Di. How could Shangguan Chu, the daughter of a county magistrate, have any connection with the Northern Di?" Wan Shufang murmured, frowning. Soon she realized something: "No, it's not Shangguan Chu."
"Yes, Liu Mochen..."
"Madam, I have also found out that this poison requires regular use of the antidote to prolong life. Otherwise, death is certain."
After hearing this, Wan Shufang became even more certain that with Shangguan Chu's ability, it was impossible for her to possess this poison. The only explanation was that the poison was given to her by Liu Mochen.
This means that Liu Mochen's family has some connection with Beidi.
"What a Liu Mochen! What a Liu family! How dare they collaborate with the enemy and betray their country? They have connections with the Northern Di." She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Does the lord know about this?"
"Madam, we haven't had time to report to the Lord yet."
"Okay, no need to say more. I will tell him when the time comes."
"Yes." The secret guard accepted the order, saluted her respectfully, and then left the yard.
Looking at the secret guard walking away, Wan Shufang felt depressed. She sat in the courtyard for the whole afternoon, thinking about her next plan.
It was not until the evening that Chen Changli, who had been busy outside all day, rushed back. He was carrying two live carps, which were freshly caught from the small river near the military camp.
Seeing Wan Shufang sitting under the grape trellis, flipping through the account book with an expression of seriousness, he beckoned to the little maid: "Chun Ju, take these two live carp away and deal with them."
"Yes, sir." Chunju responded. The conversation between the two woke up Wan Shufang who was looking at the account book carefully. She came to her senses and looked at the lively fish in Chen Changli's hand, and her brows relaxed instantly.
"Chen Changli, is this the fish you brought back from the military camp?"
Seeing the joy on Wan Shufang's face, Chen Changli was also happy in his heart. He smiled and touched her head: "I saw that the fish in the river were good recently, so I caught a few. The soldiers ate some, and I brought two back."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang smiled with her eyes curved, and she stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the forehead: "Thank you for your hard work, Duke."
The lively carp seemed to have washed away all the depression she had felt all day. She took the carp from Chunju's hands and said cheerfully, "Chunju, you don't need to worry about this anymore. Go and take a rest."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Chen Changli again and raised the fish in her hand that was still wagging its tail: "Changli, I want to cook for myself. Can you help me?"
Hearing this, Chunju smiled and left wisely so as not to disturb their world of two, and also sent the other servants away.
After everyone left, Chen Changli held her hand tightly, nodded slightly, and took the live fish from her naturally.
"Okay, I'll go kill the fish first."
"Then I'll go prepare the seasoning."
The two of them had a clear division of labor and soon became busy in the small kitchen in the yard. Chen Changli picked up the fish-killing knife and scraped off the fish scales.
Wan Shufang was preparing the seasonings, and the two of them were happily cooking dinner together. Just after sowing the garlic, Wan Shufang suddenly put her garlic-peeling hand under Chen Changli's nose.
Seeing him frown, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Haha, Chen Changli, there are flavors that you don't like too."
"It smells a bit bad. I'll go throw away the contents of this fish's stomach."
Seeing Chen Changli about to leave with the fish entrails, Wan Shufang quickly stopped him: "No, no, no, that can be fried, give it to me."
Without caring about the garlic in her hand, she immediately reached out, snatched back the fish's internal organs, and cleaned them, including the fish.
She started cooking only after she had chopped the fish into pieces.
"Let's make a fish hotpot today. We just happen to have some vegetables left. Changli, go wash them."
"it is good."
Chen Changli left with the dishes. In the kitchen, Wan Shufang also became busy. After a lot of hard work, the fragrant fish hotpot finally appeared.
At this moment, the sun has set and night has fallen. The courtyard is steaming and the aroma of food is constantly wafting in. After finishing her meal, Wan Shufang touched her round belly and sighed with satisfaction: "It's so delicious! Homemade food is still more fragrant. The food in the restaurant outside has no smell."
Hearing this, Chen Changli rubbed her belly lovingly and said gently, "Then I'll bring some food back and we can cook together."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Shufang nodded. She was too exhausted to respond.
After resting for a while, Wan Shufang was worried that sleeping would cause indigestion, so she simply pulled Chen Changli up and took a walk in the yard to help digest the food.
After walking slowly for several laps, Wan Shufang suddenly remembered what she had found out today and subconsciously pulled Chen Changli to her side: "Changli, I have something to tell you."
Hearing this, Chen Changli looked at her in confusion. Seeing the solemnity in Wan Shufang's eyes, his expression also became serious. He gently touched her head and asked, "What happened when you went to the Xiao family today?"
As he spoke, Chen Changli frowned. Worried about her safety, he had already sent many guards to follow her, but he didn't expect that something would still happen.
But the next second, Wan Shufang shook her head and said, "It's not the Xiao family, it's Liu Mochen. I found out that the poison Shangguan Chu gave Xiao Jingheng came from Beidi."
"Liu Mochen has connections with Beidi, or perhaps the entire Liu family has connections with Beidi."
After saying this, Wan Shufang also recounted the story of the mysterious man she had seen while following Liu Mochen. Her expression was filled with anger. "It's a pity I didn't see his true face, otherwise, things would have been much simpler."
After these words fell, Chen Changli in front of him said nothing, but just lowered his head, his eyes flickering, and it was unknown what he was thinking. He pondered for a long time, then grasped Wan Shufang's shoulders and said in a serious tone: "Shufang, since this involves another country, you should not get involved."
"I'll investigate thoroughly." He said seriously, and without waiting for Wan Shufang to refuse, he continued to persuade her, "Be obedient. This is too dangerous. I'm worried about you going."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Shufang wanted to refuse directly, but before she could open her mouth, she saw a secret guard running in hurriedly and saluted the two of them.
"Master, Madam, we have a clue!"
