Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

As the saying goes, to catch a cheating couple, catch both; to catch a thief, catch the dirty work. Since she has no evidence, it is really difficult for her to speak up.

"Then it seems I was mistaken. However, the food has gotten cold due to all the commotion. I'll go back to the kitchen and prepare it again."

Before everyone could react, Su An had already quickly cleared away all the food on the table.

She has always been the one who has the final say at home, and no one in the family thinks there is anything wrong with it.

But there was a hint of unwillingness in He Wangshi's expression.

After dinner, Su An took the excuse of taking a walk and took the food he had secretly left behind to the next room.

"Is Dr. Xie here?"

Su An stood outside Xie Qingfeng's house and knocked on the door gently.

She vaguely heard some movement inside, and soon Xie Qingfeng came out.

"Boss Su, what brings you here? I'm not your master." Xie Qingfeng said something sarcastically as usual, but the next moment his eyes fell on the food in Su An's hand.

"Hey, what delicious food did you make?"

Green and juicy vegetables, golden scrambled eggs, and a dish of braised pork.

The people who watched it were very excited.

But it was already past dinner time.

Why did Boss Su come here at this time?

"It's not delicious. I came to see Dr. Xie to ask him to see if the food is poisoned."

She handed over the food.

"Poisoned?"

Upon hearing these two words, Xie Qingfeng frowned fiercely, and a vicious look flashed in his eyes.

"Why would someone poison someone out of the blue?"

Could it be that someone wants to harm their master?

Seeing Xie Qingfeng looking as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Su An quickly shook his head.

"It's He Wangshi."

She told Xie Qingfeng what happened at home today.

The county town is neither big nor small, so why did her mother happen to see those ruffians collecting debts?

The He family is cruel and not a good bunch!

"I see. Let me see. There is no poison in this world that can escape my eyes!"

Xie Qingfeng had a cold and arrogant look on his face. He took out a silver needle from his sleeve and inserted it into the food.

But the silver needles didn't react at all.

He looked at it for a long time, then frowned and clicked his tongue.

"That's not right, Boss Su. According to what you said, the food should be poisonous. But no matter how I look at it, there's nothing wrong with it."

no problem?!

A hint of surprise flashed in Su An's eyes. How could this be possible?

She saw with her own eyes that He Wangshi spilled something.

Su An reached out and picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks and immediately put it into his mouth.

Before Xie Qingfeng could stop him, he saw that the small green vegetable had already entered his mouth.

"Hmm? Sweet?!"

Could it be powdered sugar?

Why would He Wangshi add sugar to it for no reason?

She became alert and was about to put down her chopsticks.

At this moment, there was a sound of something collapsing in the house.

A suppressed low cry reached Su An's ears.

"Fu Zhun?!"

She would never hear it wrong, this was definitely Fu Zhun's voice!

Xie Qingfeng's expression also changed, and he rushed into the house with big strides.

"master!"

The room was filled with a pungent smell of medicine. In the middle of the room stood a bathtub that was half a person's height.

Fu Zhun sat half-naked in the bathtub, his once handsome face twisted in pain, his brows furrowed, his hands tightly gripping the edge of the tub, veins bulging.

His eyes were closed, his thick eyebrows were trembling constantly, his face was pale, and he seemed to be in great pain.

The exposed skin was a strange red.

Drops of sweat rolled down his forehead, across his angular face, and dripped onto the ground, leaving dark stains.

Xie Qingfeng rushed forward and quickly took out two silver needles from his sleeves, and inserted them into the Baihui acupoint and the Qianding acupoint on the top of Fu Zhun's head respectively.

Fu Zhun groaned in pain, his face turning even paler.

"How could this be?"

Su An never thought that he would see such a scene, and he was suddenly a little panicked.

"It's just that some people are showing off their strength and rushing thousands of miles. How can it be so simple—"

Xie Qingfeng snorted coldly, but was interrupted by Fu Zhun before he could finish his words.

"Xie Qingfeng!"

Fu Zhun let out a low growl, and his forehead became even more sweaty.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me!"

"What are you not saying?" Su An stared at Fu Zhun anxiously, feeling extremely distressed. "What's going on? Don't hide it from me!"

Hearing her hoarse nasal voice, Fu Zhun reluctantly raised his eyes, his eyes soothing: "Don't worry, I'm really fine, it's just an old illness."

It's okay again!

What a fool!

Su An couldn't help but feel his eyes turn red, and he bit his lip guiltily.

"It's because I'm right!"

As he spoke, Su An raised his hand slightly, his fingertips trembling, wanting to touch Fu Zhun's exposed wrist, but in the end he dropped his hand weakly.

She felt as if her heart was being hung by countless iron wires, and every breath she took was accompanied by a sour pain.

"That's not the case. You don't have to blame yourself. I came here to heal my illness."

Fu Zhun's face was as pale as paper, his voice was hoarse and dry, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

"But you've never had an attack before..." Su An retorted in disbelief, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Even at this time, he was still thinking about comforting himself!

"Get out!"

Fu Zhun gritted his teeth, trying hard not to let out a painful groan. It seemed as if he had used up all his strength before he uttered those three words.

"I do not!"

Su An gritted his teeth and stubbornly grasped the edge of the bathtub.

"I'm not leaving! This happened because of me. Do you want me to play dumb and pretend I know nothing?"

The more he talked, the more Su An couldn't control the bitterness that came over her. She stared at him with tears in her eyes.

His eyes, glistening with tears, were filled with guilt and heartache.

Fu Zhun's breathing became heavy as he watched this, and he forced himself to turn his face away.

Just as he was about to steel his heart and continue speaking, the next second, his words were silenced by the silver needle in Xie Qingfeng's hand.

"Boss Su doesn't mind, so why should you, a grown man like you, mind?"

"Since Boss Su wants to stay here, come over and lend a hand!"

"Okay! Okay!" Su An nodded heavily and wiped away his tears, but his fingers were still trembling.

I could only bite the tip of my tongue hard and take a deep breath to calm myself down.

"Help me hold him down!"

Xie Qingfeng took out his needle bag and took out seven or eight silver needles.

Su An pursed her lips and, as he instructed, held Fu Zhun down.

He closed his eyes tightly, but his eyelashes were trembling nervously.

Under her hand was Fu Zhun's hot wrist, and Su An felt that the heat burned deeply into her heart.

Seeing Xie Qingfeng prick Fu Zhun like a hedgehog, Su An's eyes began to turn red again. She quickly looked away and sniffed hard.

No, now is not the time to be sad!

However, she didn't notice that Fu Zhun in front of her opened his eyes with difficulty, and his deep and gentle gaze took in her reaction.

A hint of sweetness in my heart seemed to alleviate the pain all over my body.

"Boss Su, stay here and watch the fire. Don't let it go out. I'll go get the medicine. This medicinal bath will take a full hour. Don't be lazy!"

Xie Qingfeng gave some instructions and left in a hurry.
