The mistress of a marquis's family divorced her husband and married someone else: the scumbag&#

"It seems obvious to me."

Ye Qingluo spoke in a steady and unhurried tone, "The royal chef's coma was indeed caused by the medicinal herbs."

Lai De heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this and sneered, "Madam Pingyuan Hou, so you admit that you secretly used medical skills to harm people?"

"Harming people?"

Ye Qingluo chuckled and asked the person who was speaking, "Shouldn't you, the shopkeeper, be the one who should admit it?"

"After all, although Ningxiang Powder can amplify the taste of food several times, it can also cause hallucinations. If you take too much, the toxins will accumulate in your body and become a deadly poison."

"And the poison in the body of this cousin of the imperial chef you mentioned obviously comes from the Condensed Fragrance Powder. I'm right, right? Come on, boss. But I'm curious because this kind of fragrance is extremely rare. Where did you get it from? Or is there someone behind the scenes fanning the flames?"

"You...what are you talking nonsense about?"

"What is Ningxiang Powder? I have never heard of it!"

Lai De's pupils shrank, especially when he heard the name Ningxiang Powder, the shock in his eyes lingered.

"Really?" Ye Qingluo was not in a hurry. "Then can you please stretch out your hand? Anyone who touches the Ningxiang Powder will definitely leave a mark on the palm lines."

"We will know whether the matter is as I said once we test it."

Lai De was obviously panicked after hearing this, and his palms clenched subconsciously, "Why should I show it to you!"

"Boss, don't you want to know who harmed your cousin, or are you feeling guilty?"

"I……"

"Sister, this imperial chef did fall down after eating the food from your restaurant. Isn't it too far-fetched for you to bring up Ningxiang Powder at this time?"

"Besides, you know medical skills. If you really want to do something, it would be difficult for ordinary people to tell."

Su Wan saw that something was wrong and interrupted Ye Qingluo's next words. She didn't expect that Ye Qingluo actually knew about Ningxiang Powder.

If Lai De lets the secret slip, things will get serious!

"Ah."

Listening to Su Wan's words, Ye Qingluo's eyes showed some ambiguity, "I wonder what the relationship between the county lady and this shopkeeper Lai is, why is she so protective of him?"

"Or does the county lady also know about the Ningxiang Powder?"

Su Wan's heart skipped a beat. "Sister, what are you talking about? I'm just speaking the truth."

"I know you are in a bad mood because of the incident in the restaurant, but there is no need to use such words, My Lord..." Su Wan lowered her eyes and looked at Chu Beiyu.

Chu Beiyu's face was slightly gloomy, especially the Ningxiang Powder...

No matter how Ye Qingluo found out, she must not be allowed to continue speaking in front of so many people!

When Ye Qingluo was about to speak, he heard Chu Beiyu shouting angrily, "Enough!"

"Ye Qingluo, this incident happened in your restaurant, how long are you going to make a fuss?"

He strode forward, came to Ye Qingluo's side, lowered his voice and said, "Everything should be done in moderation!"

"My Lord, do you think I'm making a scene?"

Ye Qingluo narrowed her eyes slightly. Originally, she thought that Lai De and Su Wan were the only ones who knew about the Ningxiang Powder, but from Chu Beiyu's reaction after hearing the news, it was obvious that he also knew about it!

Under Ye Qingluo's questioning, Chu Beiyu was obviously a little guilty, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

Ye Qingluo took a step aside and said, "My Lord, if you have the energy to do this, you should just take care of yourself first."

"Someone, go check the lines on Shopkeeper Lai's palm!"

Just when Chu Beiyu was thinking about how to stop Ye Qingluo, he heard the Dali Temple Minister speak.

With the presence of the Dali Temple's men, Lai De had no way to resist at all. Although Su Wan was anxious, she could not bear it.

If she opens her mouth at this time, she will inevitably be involved with Lai De.

"Sir, there really is a purple mark on the shopkeeper's hand."

"Everyone, I think the truth of the matter is now clear."

Everyone suddenly realized, "That's it!"

"But according to what Lady Pingyuan said, with the so-called Ningxiang Powder, the food should have smelled wonderful, so why did it stink?"

"Do you even need to ask this? My wife has long seen through their conspiracy and neutralized the toxicity in the Condensing Fragrance Powder. Now that the toxicity is gone, the fragrance will naturally dissipate and only the stench will remain."

Caiyue explained that it was all thanks to her wife who came up with this idea, otherwise Lai De’s conspiracy would have succeeded!

"So Ningxiang Powder is a poison. Then we ate at the restaurant owned by the shopkeeper Lai before, so we were also poisoned, right?"

For a moment, those who realized this fell into panic.

"Come on, shopkeeper. Now that things have come to this, please follow me!"

Seeing that Lai De was about to be taken away by the people from the Dali Temple, Su Wan suddenly panicked. She was afraid that this man would not be able to withstand the interrogation and tell her story. In panic, she could only look at Chu Beiyu.

"Master Hou..."

Chu Beiyu also looked inexplicably impatient. He didn't expect that Ye Qingluo, this woman, would be so stubborn and would not care about his face in front of outsiders.

He knew better than anyone what Ningxiang Powder did. Especially with Su Wan's appearance, it was very likely that something serious had happened...

Thinking of this, Chu Beiyu suppressed his annoyance and stepped forward to the Dali Temple official and said, "Sir, it is not justifiable to take someone away just because of a mark."

"Don't worry, my Lord. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. But before that, I still need to ask the county lady and my Lord to go to the Dali Temple with me."

"There is some clue about Madam Chu's encounter with robbers."

"What...what?" Su Wan opened her eyes wide in shock. Wasn't that matter already over? Why did it come up again?

Could it be that this matter is related to Ye Qingluo again?

Although Chu Beiyu was reluctant, both the Ningxiang Powder and his mother's kidnapping were not simple matters.

Before leaving, she looked at Ye Qingluo fiercely. She was the woman who caused trouble for him! !

"Madam Ye, I will take my leave first." The Dali Temple Minister bowed to Ye Qingluo and turned to leave.

After the others left, Caiyue and Cuizhu both breathed a sigh of relief, "The matter is finally resolved!"

The chef on the ground woke up from his coma at some point and looked around in confusion, "What happened just now?"

"Madam Pingyuan Hou, since you know what that powder is, you must know how to treat it. Please help us."

"Yes!"

Everyone present looked at Ye Qingluo for help.

"If you want treatment, just go to the clinic. I remember you guys were suspicious of my wife just now!"

Caiyue stood in front of Ye Qingluo and said angrily.

"Yes, Huichuntang!"

"Let's go to Huichun Hall now!"

I don't know who suggested it, but everyone went out.

Caiyue: "..."

“Madam, am I going to cause trouble for Li Er?”

"These people themselves are fine, so there's no need to worry about them."

But the appearance of the Dali Temple Minister was indeed strange. She didn't think that everything would require this gentleman to come in person, unless...

Ye Qingluo ignored Caiyue and Cuizhu and walked straight out of the restaurant.

As soon as she left the restaurant, she felt a familiar gaze on her, but when she looked up, the gaze had disappeared.

Could it be him?

Just as she was thinking, she heard a lazy and low voice coming from behind her.

"Are you looking for this king?"
