Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

As soon as the older woman walked in, Cao Huanchun pulled Lingchuan from behind and said, "This woman is very powerful. Be careful."

Ling Chuan said in his heart, "What's the story?"

Cao Huanchun raised an eyebrow at him: "Her husband's surname is An, this is the daughter-in-law of Zuo Xiang An Changqing."

Ling Chuan was just about to step over the threshold when he paused upon hearing the words and almost tripped over it.

Cao Huanchun supported Lingchuan and added, "Her family has been in the army for generations, and her brother is now the commander of the Jinwu Guard."

Ling Chuan just felt a little dizzy. She was born into a noble family and was the daughter-in-law of the left prime minister. With her status, she could destroy Yunfu Ji with just a wave of her hand.

After sitting down, Ling Chuan took the tea from the waiter and served it to the lady personally.

"May I ask Madam An where did you buy the snacks and from whom? Are there any left?"

When the woman saw that Ling Chuan recognized her identity, she just snorted and waved to a servant-like man next to her: "How could I come to your house without evidence?"

The servant handed over a bag of cakes, and Mrs. An took it and put it on the table: "This is not the first time we buy snacks from your Yunfuji. My husband also likes to eat them, but today he vomited and had diarrhea after eating only a few pieces. Now he has collapsed from diarrhea. The doctor said he had an upset stomach."

Ling Chuan looked at the snacks and saw that they were indeed from Yun Fu Ji. He couldn't help but frown. He had always been very careful about production hygiene. Even if there were any omissions, he would not suffer from vomiting and diarrhea and become exhausted. He immediately thought of the lawsuit yesterday.

"Mrs. An, I'm not trying to excuse myself, but there is something fishy about this matter." Ling Chuan recounted what happened in court yesterday and also pointed out Xu Ji's background.

"How dare this Xu guy poison you?" Mrs. An raised her eyebrows and slapped the coffee table. Ling Chuan heard a click and the coffee table tilted to one side.

"hiss……"

Ling Chuan was startled: "Mrs. An, please calm down. There is no evidence for this matter. I am just guessing."

This Madam An obviously had a hot temper. She stood up and said, "According to what you said, the symptoms yesterday and today are the same. Who else could it be but him? I'll go find him right away."

"Madam An, please stay." Ling Chuan hurriedly stopped her: "Madam An, as the saying goes, if you catch a thief, you must catch the dirty. They will definitely not admit to such an obvious frame-up. We will be helpless then. But I have a plan."

Mrs. An glared and said, "What can you do?"

"It's a secret." Ling Chuan's eyes rolled, with a cunning expression on his face: "From these two incidents, this medicine should not be fatal. Since they want to frame Yun Fu Ji, there must be someone else who will be harmed. As long as we catch him at the scene, he will definitely have no way to deny it."

Madam An looked at Ling Chuan with a sidelong glance, and then took a half step back without making a sound: "This is a good idea, but they are acting on purpose, how can you catch them?"

"Don't worry, Madam An. First, we can tamper with the packaging of the snacks. Once opened, they cannot be restored. Secondly, we can pretend to be the employees of Yunfuji. The flags and boxes are conspicuous targets. We have fifty employees in Yunfuji. We just need to pay more attention and we will definitely find the clues."

Mrs. An thought about it and agreed: "Then I will trust you for once."

Ling Chuan cupped his hands and said, "Mrs. An knows how to distinguish right from wrong. I would like to thank you in advance."

However, Madam An turned aside to avoid Ling Chuan, snorted and said, "No need to thank me, I don't think you are a good person either."

Ling Chuan was stunned on the spot, and only murmured after Mrs. An left: "How did I offend her?"

Cao Huanchun came over and said, "I'm being polite to you. If you really offend her, you won't have a way to complain even if your legs are broken. Her father once blocked a knife for the emperor. He is the descendant of a meritorious official."

Ling Chuan was startled and came back to his senses: "How do you know so clearly?"

Cao Huanchun was stunned for a moment and immediately replied: "Well, I have been in the capital for most of my life, and I know a lot of things."

Ling Chuan nodded: "You heard what I just said to Mrs. An, just do as I said, do it now and ask all of them to mark the snacks they sold."

Cao Huanchun nodded: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

On the other side, Mrs. An Luo Suyu had just returned home when she met her father-in-law, the Left Prime Minister An Changqing.

An Changqing saw that his son had stretched the strings so hard that he looked unrecognizable after only half a day's work, and his brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (cross) character.

I asked the servants and they said it was because of the snacks from Yunfu Ji. Just when I was getting angry, my daughter-in-law came back.

"Greetings, eunuch." Although Luo Suyu had a hot temper, he was from a noble family after all, so he was still polite in front of An Changqing.

An Changqing responded and immediately asked, "Jie'er just ate a snack, how did it become like this?"

"Don't worry, father-in-law. I've already seen a doctor. It's nothing serious. I just need to rest for a few days."

After saying this, Luo Suyu recounted what happened during her visit to Yunfu Ji.

An Changqing asked: "Did the doctor tell me what caused Jie'er to be like this?"

Luo Suyu shook her head: "The doctor only said that he ate something bad, but the doctor also said that with my husband's body, it would not normally be so serious."

"So, Jie Er is really poisoned?"

"That's what the owner of Yunfuji guessed."

An Changqing frowned: "Based on what the shopkeeper of Yunfuji said, can you be sure that it was Xuji who did it?"

Luo Suyu was stunned for a moment: "That's not possible."

An Changqing knew that his daughter-in-law was an upright person, so he could only continue to ask: "What kind of person is the shopkeeper of Yunfuji?"

Luo Suyu recalled: "I think this person is a cunning person."

"Oh? What's the basis for this?"

Luo Suyu shook her head blankly: "No, he just doesn't give me the feeling that he is a good person."

An Changqing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Since ancient times, all businessmen have been dishonest. It is normal for you to have such an opinion. Without some cunning tricks, how can you make people jealous to this extent?"

"Does the father-in-law also think that it was Xu Ji who did it?"

An Changqing did not answer, but said: "It is not convenient for me to come forward, you'd better let Luo Wei visit Lu Chong and ask him what he thinks of these two people."

Luo Suyu responded and said, "If it is found out that Xu Ji was responsible for this matter, it will still be up to the father-in-law to make the decision."

An Changqing raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as there are court laws, we will naturally deal with it according to the law."

These words may seem to have no power, but since the matter involves the Xu family of Ruyin, if the background is not strong enough, then they will have to suffer in silence.

Luo Suyu nodded: "My daughter-in-law understands."

……

In the study of Prince Ning's mansion, Prince Ning was pinching a pinch of sugar and putting it into his mouth, then nodded and said, "It is indeed the sugar from the palace, Liu Quan, you did a great job on this matter."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. Next..."

Prince Ning thought for a moment and then said, "You should manage this sugar well and sell it to everyone in the capital. You should also let people know that this sugar comes from the palace. Do you understand?"

"I obey your command. I will do my best."
