After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom
Chapter 185 I Suspect It's My Grandmother
Bai Youyou took the yellow paper package from him and was about to ask what it was when Doctor Pang interrupted her, "Put it away quickly and don't let anyone see it."
Bai Youyou guessed what it was, her face changed, and she quickly covered the yellow paper bag with her sleeve.
"You are so kind, I will tell my grandfather and uncle later."
Doctor Pang snorted and closed the medicine box. "Your grandfather is an old stubborn man. He won't remember my kindness."
"My father is a tough-mouthed man with a soft heart. He remembers all the kindness you have shown him." Mrs. Lu said with a smile, "You don't even know that he treasures the anti-cold ointment you made for him. I wouldn't even let him touch it before."
"He still has some conscience."
The curve of Doctor Pang's mouth widened a little. He put the medicine box on his back and said, "The Third Prince is still waiting for me in the front yard. If you have any problems in the future, send someone to find me in the palace."
"Then I'll take you there."
"No need, just send someone to lead the way."
Doctor Pang refused, and Mrs. Lu didn't say much and asked Cuizhu to take him to the front yard.
Bai Youyou handed the item to Lu, "Mom, you should personally deliver this item to my uncle tomorrow."
"What did Doctor Pang give you?"
Mrs. Lu didn't know what was in the yellow paper package. When she took it and opened it, her eyes widened instantly.
"Purple Ganoderma!"
She exclaimed in a suppressed voice.
"Shhh!!!"
Bai Youyou quickly raised her index finger to her lips and said, "Don't let anyone know."
"Uh-huh!"
Mrs. Lu closed the paper bag excitedly, walked quickly to the closet, and hid the things in the closet.
Bai Youyou didn't expect that Doctor Pang would be so bold as to secretly take the priceless thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum.
However, she was somewhat gloating.
The prince's meddling in other people's business this time has resulted in him losing the whole granary while trying to steal a chicken.
"Just stay at home and don't go anywhere. I'll go see Uncle Xu."
Mrs. Lu was also afraid that something might happen to the things in the cabinet, so she nodded repeatedly, "Mother will stay here and not go anywhere."
Xiaoju saw her coming out and went to meet her. "Miss Zhao said it was getting late, so she went back first. She will come to play with you another day."
"Ah."
At this time, the setting sun was hanging obliquely in the sky.
After Aunt Qiao ordered someone to boil some medicine and gave it to Bai Yaoyao to drink, she stood aside and watched Xu Lingyun interrogate her.
There was nothing useful that came out of the mouths of the maids, servants, and cooks in the kitchen.
After Xu Lingyun had questioned the people in the kitchen, he was organizing their confessions when the housekeeper came hurriedly, followed by a sturdy, dark-skinned peddler.
"Master Xu, this man claims to be Chunliu's fiancé and said he came to see you, so I brought him in."
Xu Lingyun paused while organizing his confession, and looked at the peddler sharply, "Are you Chunliu's fiancé?"
"Yes, I am Chunliu's fiancé, his name is Dazhu."
Dazhu put down the load on his shoulders, hunched over, and rubbed his hands nervously.
His eyes were red, and his voice was choked with sobs, "I heard from people in the mansion that Chunliu--"
"Chun Liu has died of poisoning."
Xu Lingyun handed the confession in his hand to Captain Liu who was standing beside him, and asked Dazhu, "When was the last time you saw Chunliu?"
"It was the twenty-sixth day of the winter month last year."
Dazhu raised his wrist and wiped his eyes with his sleeve. "That day, Chunliu told me that after the Chinese New Year, she would be free and asked me to pick her up after the Chinese New Year."
Looking at the honest Dazhu, Aunt Qiao suddenly felt a little uneasy.
She said, "One day, I saw Chunliu secretly wiping tears, so I asked her about the situation. She said she had a childhood sweetheart, a fiancé, right?"
"Yes, it's a small one."
Dazhu whimpered and nodded.
Aunt Qiao wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. "Chunliu has served in my courtyard for many years and is not young anymore. I was thinking of giving her a birth certificate and letting her leave the house after the New Year. Who knew something like this would happen?"
Xu Lingyun glanced at her expressionlessly.
He had been pretending to be deaf and dumb before, but now he shows up when he sees Dazhu coming. He must have a sense of crisis.
He raised his eyes and looked at Dazhu. "When you met Chunliu that day, did she say anything to you? Or did she give you anything?"
Aunt Qiao tightened her grip on the handkerchief and her eyes unconsciously stared at Dazhu.
"There is."
Dazhu opened his cargo box and took out a small white porcelain bottle.
When Aunt Qiao saw the small porcelain bottle in his hand, her heart suddenly stopped.
Didn’t she destroy this thing? Why did he have another one exactly the same in his hand?
"Chun Liu sent someone to give it to me later. She said it was a very important thing for her master and asked me to come back after the New Year to give it to her."
Lord Xu took the white porcelain bottle from his hand, uncorked it, and put it under his nose to smell it. Suddenly, a cool breath rushed into his nose.
It’s a pity that Doctor Pang is gone, otherwise we would know what is in the bottle now.
Aunt Qiao's panic flashed across her eyes. She held her breath and pretended to be calm, "I've never seen this thing before, how could it be mine?"
As long as the person who sold the medicine cannot be found and the source of the poison cannot be identified, the Jingzhao Yin cannot convict himself.
"I will find out whether it is yours or not." Xu Lingyun handed the item to Sun Yuan, "Take it to the doctor and see what medicine is in the bottle."
"Yes!"
Sun Yuan took the white porcelain bottle and left. Aunt Qiao looked at his quickly receding back, and the muscles on her cheeks tensed up.
Bai Youyou walked over at this moment, and seeing the shoulder pole and cargo box on the ground, he guessed that the simple man in front of him was the peddler that Xiaoju had mentioned before.
"Master Xu, have you found out anything?"
"There are some clues."
Xu Lingyun raised his chin towards Dazhu, "This is Chunliu's fiancé. He sent something. Once the thing is tested and its source is found, we can identify the person who poisoned her."
He originally guessed that it was Aunt Qiao who poisoned Bai Youyou, but something unexpected happened and the poison got to Bai Yaoyao.
But there was still one thing he was confused about, which was the poison in Chunliu's body.
Chun Liu was poisoned after eating Aunt Qiao's food, which proves that the person who poisoned her wanted to kill Aunt Qiao, but why did that person want to kill Aunt Qiao?
Did Aunt Qiao know that the food was poisonous and deliberately give it to Chunliu, or was all this an accident?
Bai Youyou glanced at the anxious Aunt Qiao and said with a smile, "Master Xu, I know something else. Let's go to another place to talk about it."
"it is good."
Xu Lingyun was also planning to go back to the yamen to interrogate Mother Xu, so he followed him to the small hall of the second room.
Bai Youyou asked Xiaoju to serve tea and then waved away the two servants in the hall.
"Uncle Xu, you must be wondering who wanted to poison Aunt Qiao, right?"
Xu Lingyun took a sip of hot tea from the teacup and tilted his head to look at her, "You know?"
Bai Youyou didn't dare to guarantee anything without evidence. She moved closer to Xu Lingyun and whispered, "I suspect it was my grandmother."
