After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

When the woman saw the maid-looking person beside Yu Tingwan and Lord Xu standing up and scolding her loudly, she dared not speak anymore and even her expression changed.

The people around naturally heard what Lord Xu shouted. Although he did not specify who the woman was, the person who could make the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple say this must be of high status.

At that moment, the onlookers did not dare to say anything more. After all, they all knew the consequences of offending a noble person.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Yu Tingwan looked at the person who was still sitting on the ground.

"As the child's mother, it's strange that you didn't take the child to see a doctor first, but instead came here to ask for an explanation.

The doctor is here now, and he is not unwilling to give you an explanation. He should treat the child first, but you are trying to stop him. This is really strange. Is the person lying on the ground really your son?"

After Yu Tingwan said this, everyone clearly saw a look of panic in the woman's eyes. Before the woman could refute, Yu Tingwan asked another question.

"Also, seeing that Butler Wu and the doctor have confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the food, shouldn't a normal person's reaction at this time be to first wonder if the child ate something else that caused the problem?

You were so sure that you didn't eat anything but the food from Qianhelou, so...

Can I assume that you, as a child, have not eaten all day, not even a sip of water, and only ate at night? "

Starving the child for a day? Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. No way? How could someone starve a child for a day just to eat Qianhelou's food? Unless she had other motives!

"Besides, who in a normal situation would first think that someone is trying to murder your child?

Moreover, even if someone wanted to murder your child, the first person you would think of would be the person who has a grudge against you, right?

Why did you first think of a restaurant that has no grudge against you to murder you?"

Yu Tingwan glanced at her, speechless, "Besides, what is there about you and your child that is worth a big restaurant risking being closed down by the government to poison you?"

"..."

These words are murderous and heartbreaking!

Even the woman was choked and didn't know what to say.

"And that person, the one who said that Shopkeeper Wu told him to poison the child, you gave the child poison even though you knew it was poison? And now you suddenly realize it?

Do you know that even if you surrender, you are still considered an accomplice and will be convicted together with him? If Shopkeeper Wu is hanged, you will die with him!"

These words made Liu Dagui feel flustered. No one had told him this. Didn't that person say that as long as the child would not die, he would be fine?

"I...I don't know..."

In panic, Liu Dagui looked towards the place where the owner of Wanzun Tower was standing, but found that there was no one there.

What's going on? Didn't he say that as long as he could do it, success or failure, he would be fine?

When everyone saw how flustered he was, they naturally had some ideas in mind.

"So this is all a conspiracy against Butler Wu?"

"From the looks of them, it's very likely."

Afterwards, Yu Tingwan reached out and took the packet of poison from Xu Fulai's hand. Xu Fulai's heart tightened when he saw this.

"you……"

Yu Tingwan waved her hand, opened it, smelled it, and handed it back to him.

"This contains acacia bean powder, which is poisonous. At the mildest, there will be a burning sensation in the mouth, nausea and abdominal pain, and at the worst, there will be coma. I don't know how long the child has been in a coma now."

If the acacia seeds were such an obvious poison, then they would not have been accidentally ingested in a restaurant. Instead, the poisoning, from the looks of it, seemed to be premeditated.

After listening to what Yu Tingwan said, Xu Fulai saluted her again, then waved his hand and asked people to take these people away.

Before leaving, Manager Wu bowed to Yu Tingwan.

He didn't know who she was, but the boss should know, right?

Everyone now roughly understands that this is a plan targeting Qianhe Tower, but the details can only be determined after the Dali Temple reviews it.

"Once this matter is fully investigated, I will naturally post a notice. I will not wrongly accuse anyone, but I will not let anyone go either. Qianhe Tower will be closed temporarily, awaiting the results."

Naturally, no one dared to say no. After watching the excitement, they left in twos and threes. Before leaving, they glanced at Yu Tingwan and kept wondering in their hearts, who is this person?

Lord Xu is the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. Even an official of such an official position has to treat her with courtesy. Could she be the wife of some lord?

"Ah! I remember now, isn't this the Princess of Chen?"

"Yeah, I was wondering why it looked so familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it before!"

Yu Tingwan has only appeared in the capital in the past few days, and everyone who sees her thinks she is a graceful and elegant woman.

But the Yu Tingwan I saw on the street today, although also very beautiful, her temperament and the sharpness between her eyebrows made people ignore her appearance.

No one noticed for a moment that the person in front of them was actually the Princess of Chen, who was praised by everyone in the capital!

"I didn't expect the princess to be so close to the people and to stand up for the weak."

"Yes, this kind of thing, which prominent family would not avoid it?"

No matter whether they were the common people in Beijing or the wealthy merchant families, most of the aristocratic families looked down on them.

Very few people are willing to help them, especially when it is something that is difficult to explain.

"Oh, with a princess like this in the future, our lives will be much better, don't you think?"

An old lady carrying a basket of vegetables clapped her hands repeatedly, her face beaming with joy.

"That's right. If that's the case, then the Yu Shangshu family, who can raise a noble lady like the Princess of Chen, must be very noble, right?"

Unexpectedly, the old man who said this was hit on the head by the old lady with the onion in her hand.

"Are you stupid, old man? Ah? How did Minister Yu treat the Princess of Chen? Everyone in the capital knows about it. He even married her in her place and embezzled her dowry. How could he have educated the Princess?

I think it’s because of the good upbringing of our late wife, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Our princess is still like the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and like Grand Tutor Jiang!”

"Yes, yes, you are right, old woman. The princess looks like Master Jiang, not like that father who cheated his daughter! Master Jiang's family are all good officials!"

"Just wait, I, an old woman, will have a good talk with the sisters in the neighborhood when I get back. I have also seen the Princess of Chen. The Princess is like a fairy, and she is kind enough to help innocent people. Humph!"

……

"Princess, they seem to know your identity. Do you want me to send someone to escort you back home?"

It seemed that Princess Chen was only accompanied by two maids, and Xu Fulai was still worried that something might go wrong later.

Yu Tingwan looked behind him, at the steps in front of Qianhe Tower, and saw a man dressed as a servant but not like a servant at all nodding to him.

"No need to trouble Master Xu."

Yu Tingwan smiled and looked at Xu Fulai: "I was out for a walk and encountered this incident. I haven't finished my walk yet. Lord Xu, please go ahead and do your work. I'm with the others."

Seeing that she had no intention of going back, Xu Fulai was thinking about whether to leave a few people for her, but he keenly noticed a gaze.

His eyes suddenly looked over there, a man nodded at him, and then quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Xu Fulai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he soon realized that this was the secret guard beside Princess Chen. He respected Yu Tingwan even more.

"Princess, the case regarding the embezzlement of Jinxiu Pavilion's financial affairs by the treasurer of Jinxiu Pavilion is about to be closed. I will personally deliver the financial affairs to Prince Chen's Mansion at that time."

Yu Tingwan nodded, "Lord Xu has always been fair in his work, so I am assured."

"Then I will not bother you any more, Princess. I will take my leave now."

After Yu Tingwan nodded in agreement, Xu Fulai took his men and left Qianhe Tower.

Yu Tingwan looked at his leaving back and said, "This Xu Shaoqing is a gentle and polite person."

Jingmei nodded, "The prince also praised Xu Shaoqing."

I see. No wonder he was so friendly from the first time!

This matter was considered over, Yu Tingwan turned around and looked at the person still standing on the steps.

"Is something wrong?"

"Princess Chen, my master wants to see you."
