The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

After sending Aunt Hua back to the side room to rest, Su Yuejian did not stay long. After saying goodbye to her, he went out and caught up with Hu Niang.

"Mrs. Hu, please stay."

The woman paused and turned around in confusion, "What's the matter, sir?"

Glancing at the people coming and going outside the courtyard, Su Yue said, "My brother recently injured his leg. Your medicinal wine is excellent. Could you sell me a bottle?"

Although Hu Niang did not know Su Yuejian's identity, she knew that her background was not simple when she saw the hall master's flattering look just now. She also heard Hua Ma Ma say that she was an old acquaintance. The only noble person who had left this Ciyu Hall was the princess's daughter from the Taifu Mansion.

"How can I accept your money? How much do you want? I'll get it right away."

"I'm so sorry." Su Yuejian said this, but she had already stretched out her hand as if to let her lead the way, "I'll go with you to get it."

Hu Niang did not dare to neglect her, and immediately agreed and took her to the wing room in the courtyard.

At present, everyone was arranged to place the supplies sent by the King of Qi. The courtyard was empty and very quiet.

The shadow guard in the dark shook his head at Su Yuejian, then nodded slightly.

Hu Niang dug out an unopened bottle of medicinal wine and handed it to Su Yuejian. After opening it and smelling it, she curved her lips and said, "Hu Niang's nephew must be well versed in medicine. This medicinal wine is perfectly matched."

Hu Niang nodded vaguely, smiled and said nothing.

Su Yuejian turned and took two steps. Hu Niang was about to catch up when she heard the person in front of her say, "I heard that Hu Niang is from Xiaolin Village. I wonder if she knows Lin Yizheng?"

The door creaked shut and Su Yuejian turned around.

Hu Niang's body stiffened, panic flashed in her eyes, and she quickly replied, "I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

"Xiaolin Village is located in a remote area. It took decades for someone like Lin Yizheng to emerge. He was promoted to the position of Director of the Imperial Hospital. The village even erected a monument in his honor. Didn't you know that?"

"It seems that's the case," Hu Niang said, forcing a smile. "But I married him later, so I don't know about this."

"Really?" Su Yuejian met her calm eyes.

"After his death, his first wife remarried a cook from the same village. You've lived in Xiaolin Village, so you must know the Yu family."

Hu Niang's palms were slightly sweaty, but the smile on her face remained unchanged. "It seems that there are such people, but there was a disaster in our village, and everyone ran away and dispersed. We couldn't even take care of our own families, so how could we worry about other people's affairs?"

"Your last name is Hu. I heard that the chef Yu married has the same last name as you, so we can be considered family."

"I heard that Yu's beauty is famous throughout the surrounding area, but that chef Hu is a pockmarked man with a limp. I'm curious why such a beautiful woman would be willing to go through such a hard time and follow him."

"It turned out that not long after Lin Yizheng's death, his home unexpectedly caught fire, and Chef Hu risked his life to save the Yu family."

Su Yue's eyes fell on the old scars on her face, which were traces of burns, and the smile in Hu Niang's eyes froze.

"Although he survived by chance, his face was disfigured."

Meeting those piercing amber eyes, Hu Niang's hands and feet felt weak. They had kept the events of that year a secret. They had left Xiaolin Village overnight, and the villagers had assumed she had died in the fire. How could the person before her know that?!

My heart was in my throat, and then I heard her say, "Are you Hu Niang or Yu Niang?"

Hu Niang did not respond, but slowly backed away. She suddenly turned around and reached under the pillow on the bed, her eyes suddenly changing.

His face turned pale, and he turned over the pillow and bed, but they were empty.

"No need to look for it. Your dagger has already been taken away by my people." Su Yuejian walked to a chair nearby and sat down. "I have no ill intentions in looking for you. I just want to know what happened when Lin Yi was in the palace."

Hu Niang looked at her warily, "How would I know what he did in the palace?"

"You don't know? Then why did your house catch fire? Why do you always carry a dagger for self-defense?"

Hu Niang's face turned grim for a moment, and she sneered, "Since Princess Minghua already knows my identity, you can kill me or chop me up as you please!"

Seeing her righteous look, Su Yuejian tapped his fingers on the table intermittently. He caught a glimpse of the medicinal wine on the table and raised his eyebrows.

"Your nephew..."

Hu Niang stared at the woman in purple, and when she saw her holding the bottle of medicinal wine and looking at it, her expression suddenly became tense.

Su Yuejian smelled the cool herbal fragrance of the medicinal wine, "I remember your family has been a single-line family for generations, how come you suddenly have a nephew?"

No one in the Salesian Church knew that she had a nephew. It was only once when he happened to come by and was seen by Aunt Hua that she let the matter slip.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Hua usually kept her mouth shut as if it was locked, but when she was in front of Su Yuejian, she told him everything.

Hu Niang swallowed her saliva and said, "She's a distant relative of the Hu Han family. What's the big deal?"

"I mean no harm, but I don't want to waste my time."

Su Yuejian nodded, stood up and walked towards her, "You know who I am, and you must have heard how people call me."

Hu Niang was stunned for a moment, then her eyes flashed with fear after a moment of silence. The witch...

But before he could dodge, she fed him a pill.

"I know it from the look on your face," Su Yuejian said, "What you just swallowed was a specially made truth pill of mine. If you tell even a single lie from now on, you'll die from a broken heart."

Just as Hu Niang was about to open her mouth, Su Yuejian pressed her trembling lips.

"Shh-"

Seeing her resolute expression, she smiled, "I know you're not afraid of death. It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. Just wait until you die and your nephew comes to pay his respects, then I'll ask him, okay?"

There was a smile in her words, but her eyes were extremely cold. Hu Niang's heart sank to the bottom. After a long silence, she slowly closed her eyes and sat down on the bed like a deflated person.

"What do you want to know?"

"I want to know everything Lin Yizheng told you."

"He didn't tell me anything."

Hu Niang's expression remained unchanged, but Su Yue saw her brows furrowed.

She sat there in silence for a while, then suddenly sneered.

"He said that once he saved enough money and bought a house in Kyoto, he would take me over."

"But I waited for all these years, and all I got was a letter of divorce."

"At that moment, I just hated myself for being blind. I packed my money and went to Beijing to ask him for an explanation. But before I even left the county, I learned of his death in town."

"I heard he died on his way home, and then I learned he had resigned from his post. I had no choice but to return to Xiaolin Village."

"I didn't expect that when I got home, I saw a group of men in black. The house was in a mess. I didn't know what they were looking for. When they saw me, they knocked me unconscious. Then there was a fire..."

"When I woke up again, I looked like a ghost."

Su Yuejian lowered her eyes. Since there were secret guards going to Xiaolin Village to look for something, it must be that Lin Yizheng had handed something over before his death. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Is that divorce letter still there?"

She shook her head. "No."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yuejian lifted her chin, and then her heart suddenly ached violently, as if millions of ants were biting her chest. Hu Niang's face turned pale and cold sweat broke out.

He gritted his teeth and changed his words, "Yes... yes!"

"where?"

The pain in his chest continued, and his lips began to tremble. "It's in the linen layer at the bottom of the cabinet at the back."

Su Yuejian let go of her and took two steps back. The pain suddenly disappeared. Hu Niang touched her chest belatedly, as if the pain just now was an illusion.

I didn't expect that there really is such a magical pill in the world that can only tell the truth.
