Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Fu Huai suppressed his anger with a cold face, personally carried Su An to the backyard, and ordered Xie Qingfeng to prepare the antidote immediately.

He stood by and watched Su An's palm-sized face become pale and fragile, and a little heartache rose in his heart.

In the past, this little girl was the most noisy. As long as she had her eyes open, she would always be busy.

It's really hard to get used to how quiet it is now.

"Wake up soon." Fu Huai tapped Su An's nose lightly and said with a sigh.

A few hours later.

Su An opened his eyes drowsily, feeling dizzy and as if he had a hangover, with a bitter taste of medicine in his mouth.

She smacked her lips, and before she could stand up, a large hand suddenly reached out and held her down. "Don't worry, you just woke up from the poisoning. I'll ask Xie Qingfeng to check if there's anything wrong with you."

"Poisoned?!"

Seeing Fu Huai turn around and go out to call for help, Su An's expression froze for a moment.

She has been able to eat, drink and jump around these days, and doesn't feel like she's been poisoned at all. She hasn't eaten anything strange, so how could she be poisoned?

When Xie Qingfeng arrived, she hurriedly asked, "Doctor Xie, is the poison I was infected with the same as those people outside?"

Xie Qingfeng raised his eyelids and said with a half-smile: "That's different. Even if those people outside don't drink the medicine, the poison will only cause some damage to their bodies, not their lives."

"As for you..."

"If it's not discovered in time, the poison will have penetrated deep into the bone marrow and the patient will die suddenly and incurably."

"No way? Again?" Su An's face suddenly looked as if he had been struck by lightning.

A slight chill ran down my spine, and when I thought of the poison last time, I felt a surge of fear and terror in my heart.

But thinking about it this way, I should be thankful that I fainted today.

Fu Huai's expression grew increasingly cold, and he could no longer suppress his rage. "Don't worry, I will definitely find out who is responsible!"

Hearing this, Su An nodded at him with tears in his eyes, "Then I'll have to trouble the God of Wealth with my life."

In fact, even if the poison she was infected with was different from that of the people outside, she still suspected that it was He Wangshi's doing.

After all, only the He family members hated her the most and wished she would die quickly. The He family members were as vicious as poisonous snakes!

But when Fu Huai said he wanted to investigate, she did not stop him.

She knew that Fu Huai always had his own considerations.

However, little did she know that Fu Huai had thought about many things while she was in a coma, and at one point he felt that she was implicated by him.

Such a vicious chronic poison is not something that an ordinary person can find. Someone must have been secretly targeting him and wanted to attack him.

But unexpectedly, the poison accidentally fell on Su An...

One of them was lying down, the other was sitting, each of them had their own thoughts, and no one spoke again.

When Su An felt a little better, he could no longer lie down. Ignoring Fu Huai's attempts to stop him, he insisted on getting up and continuing to investigate the poisoning.

"The county magistrate has only given us three days, and now it's almost halfway through. We can't delay any longer!"

Fu Huai pressed her against the head of the bed, her slender waist being restrained neither lightly nor heavily. She twisted her body and kicked her legs hard, trying to escape.

Fu Huai's forehead veins bulged slightly. He stared at her helplessly and sighed deeply, "I've already ordered someone to investigate. You don't need to worry about it."

"Then how can I not worry about my life!" Su An raised his head in disagreement.

It’s not that she didn’t trust the people under Fu Huai, but she felt that she couldn’t feel at ease if she didn’t get involved.

When the two were in a stalemate, there was a sudden noise outside the door.

"Little Boss, the man has been caught!"

Zhou Li rushed in noisily, holding a person in his hand. After seeing the scene inside the house, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

"Oh, it seems I came at an unfortunate time!"

He winked at Su An and Fu Huai for a while before reluctantly retreating, his tone as teasing as possible.

Su An's cheeks suddenly felt hot, and only then did he realize how inappropriate his and Fu Huai's current posture was.

Those who don’t know might think they are doing something in broad daylight!

She jumped out of Fu Huai's arms in shock, and hurried to open the door, calling Zhou Li, "Come back here, you rascal! Who did you catch? Show me!"

Fu Huai also pushed the wheelchair behind her, frowning and glaring at Zhou Li.

The people under my command are becoming more and more disrespectful. They need to be disciplined!

Zhou Li sensed a hint of danger and hurriedly brought the person back.

When it came to business, his face immediately turned serious and he threw the person in front of Su An and Fu Huai.

"This person is He Wangshi's sister. I spent a lot of effort to investigate and found out that someone witnessed her meeting He Wangshi the day before yesterday. Later, the headscarf described by the medicine shop owner was found in her home."

"If nothing unexpected happens, she should be the one who went to Ping'an Pharmacy to buy herbs!"

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Dafeng broke free from Zhou Li's shackles, she immediately cried out, "It's unfair! I don't know who threw that headscarf into my house. It has nothing to do with me. Don't slander me!"

Zhou Li's face was filled with rage, and he kicked him. "You're talking nonsense, I think. I've already asked your neighbors and learned that you knitted that headscarf yourself and have worn it several times before. How dare you try to quibble now?"

Su An and Fu Huai also felt that this excuse was very lame.

According to Zhou Li's character, since he brought the person in front of them, he must have found conclusive evidence and would never wrongly accuse anyone.

So, the poison was really bought by Zhang Dafeng!

"Okay, so it's you!"

Su An was so angry that his face turned red. What a bad guy, he caused so much trouble!

She immediately glared at Zhang Dafeng fiercely and asked, "Tell me, were you instigated by He Wangshi, or did you and Zhang Dafeng plan the poisoning together?"

"If you dare to tell a lie again, I will make you personally apologize to those who were poisoned!"

Zhang Dafeng was shocked, but he didn't take it seriously.

To be honest, she didn't take Su An seriously. She was just a little girl. No matter how angry she was, what could she do to her?

So instead of telling the truth, she was vague and darted her eyes around, trying to find a chance to escape.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. It's none of my business anyway. If you dare to slander me, I won't admit it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Huai couldn't help but shout coldly: "You are so stubborn!"

He raised his eyelids to signal, and Zhou Li, who was standing behind Zhang Dafeng in a disorderly manner, suddenly took out a big knife and chopped at Zhang Dafeng's restless palm.

"what--"

The shrill screams instantly resounded through the roof.

The blood from Zhang Dafeng's severed wrist almost spurted out, splattering everywhere. The severed palm seemed to have not yet reacted and kept twitching and spasming.
