When Prime Minister Su heard that Second Aunt was called over by Su Qingli, he immediately remembered the trouble she had caused. A surge of anger surged in his heart, and he rushed straight to Liuli Pavilion.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard the maid shouting that Aunt Liu was plotting to murder the young lady. He was very suspicious. Aunt Liu was so gentle and docile that he wouldn't even step on an ant to death. He didn't believe that Aunt Liu had killed someone. It was more accurate to say that Su Qingli had killed someone.

Prime Minister Su strode in and saw Aunt Liu holding a vase in her hand. Su Qingli was lying on the ground, spitting blood. When she saw him come in, Aunt Liu was so scared that she dropped the vase in her hand.

"Master, I didn't do it. It wasn't me." Aunt Liu threw herself into Su Xiang's suspicion and cried, saying that she was framed.

Su Xiang looked at Su Qingli, who was lying on the ground with blood gushing out of the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were fixed on him. He suddenly felt uneasy and forgot to react for a moment.

When Old Lady Su heard the news and rushed over, she saw Prime Minister Su protecting his beautiful concubine but not caring about Su Qingli's life or death. She was immediately extremely disappointed with her son.

"What are you standing there for? Call a doctor!"

Su Xiang was brought back to his senses by this roar: "Take my card and go get the imperial physician."

Su Qingli was poisoned and fell into a coma. Aunt Liu knelt on the ground, crying bitterly. She looked at Su Xiang with resentful eyes from time to time. However, Su Qingli's eyes kept flashing in Su Xiang's mind.

The look in Su Qingli's eyes before she fell into a coma reminded him of Su Qingli's biological mother. The mother and son were very similar. They never competed for favor or quarreled. If it weren't for the uproar over the broken engagement, he would not have remembered that he had an older daughter.

After the imperial physician examined Su Qingli, he came out to report.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the young lady has indeed been poisoned, but this poison is somewhat special." The imperial physician pondered for a moment and said, "Is there anything that the young lady cannot tolerate?"

“Probably… not…”

"Yes." Madam Su took over, "She is severely allergic to peanuts. Eating even a little can be life-threatening."

"That's right." The imperial physician nodded in response, "I wonder what the young lady ate?"

"Cakes, cakes sent by Aunt Liu." Yueying said immediately, "This is the box."

The imperial physician stepped forward and pinched a cake. He first tested the poison with a silver needle, then took a bite himself. He glanced at Aunt Liu who was crying bitterly, and then spoke.

"This pastry is mixed with peanut powder. The peanut powder alone is enough to kill the young lady. It is also mixed with honeysuckle. Honeysuckle looks similar to jasmine on the surface, but it is actually poisonous."

"Prime Minister, I really didn't poison anything. This pastry was made by Cui'er, my friend. I was just worried about the young lady's health, so I came to visit her. I didn't mean to harm her."

Concubine Liu was born thin and delicate, and she fainted while crying. Prime Minister Su was anxious and quickly asked someone to send Concubine Liu back.

"She poisoned the eldest daughter and had the nerve to faint!" The old lady looked at the ground with her cane. "You are so confused!"

Su Xiang smiled and said, "Mother, the imperial physician also said that Qingli is not likely to be sick. Liu has always been timid and would never dare to do such a thing. What's more, the food was prepared by the maids."

The old lady understood that Prime Minister Su wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter. "How do you plan to deal with this?"

"She sold Cui'er, framed her master, and plotted to murder the young lady. We will not keep such treacherous servants in our mansion." Su Xiang said sternly, "Madam, please go to the storehouse later and get a box of ginseng to nourish Qingli."

"Yes, sir." Mrs. Lu responded immediately, with a smile in her eyes. This Mrs. Liu was indeed useful, but this little girl was too lucky, escaping death again and again.

However, since she has returned to the mansion, she is her plaything. It is better to be alive, otherwise she will be worse than death.

"What? Liu won't be punished?" the old lady asked unhappily.

"Liu is not strict with her subordinates. She is punished with a month of confinement and confinement." Su Xiang knew that his mother was worried about her eldest granddaughter. "Don't worry, mother. Such a thing will never happen again."

"I hope so."
