Xie Nancheng, the heir of a top-tier wealthy family, suddenly developed a hidden illness. His pre-arranged marriage partner was swapped, replaced by a young adopted daughter from the countryside to...
Chapter 391: Poisoning Incident
"No, I'm asking you."
"I didn't. Xie Huailan and the others don't use such tricks anymore."
"Whether they say they've run out of tricks or not, it's pretty much the same."
"It all depends on when the big fish behind you will surface."
Xie Nancheng has always known that there is someone backing Xie Huailan, and he almost knows the identity of that person. It's just that he has been in the open and the other person has been in the dark over the years, so they have never had a face-to-face encounter.
After all, it is because the family is large and there are many benefits, so everyone with the surname Xie wants to get a piece of the pie.
"By the way, you said Tongtong was sick that day. Is she better now?"
"I didn't ask because it's not very convenient to go back to the old house now, and grandma doesn't have WeChat." Tu Ran was stunned.
"So, we should get a WeChat account for grandma." The boss touched his chin.
"What's wrong with your train of thought? The old lady is old, so don't disturb her easily. But I feel like she should be fine now, otherwise she would have contacted me to get the medicine."
"Yeah, that makes sense. My wife is smart."
After saying that, Xie Nancheng lowered his head and started kissing the woman. This time he learned his lesson and didn't ask whether the woman agreed or not.
"Honey, I'm going to play ball first."
"I won't be back late today."
"Don't go to bed too early."
"Wait for me to come back. I want to carry out the great plan of human reproduction with you."
"Get lost." Tu Ran rarely swears, but at this moment he really couldn't help it.
If they were talking about selfish desires, they should just talk about selfish desires. Why bother with this? What's the grand plan for human reproduction? Do they think they are Adam and Eve?
Before Xie Nancheng left, he sweetly kissed Tu Ran for a long time.
The boss is now completely immersed in the honeypot.
On the other side, Mrs. Xie, Zhou Han and a few other socialites came back from having afternoon tea.
"What's that smell in the kitchen? It's so bad."
Mrs. Xie started complaining as soon as she entered the room.
"Madam, we are making medicine for Miss Tongtong." Sister Qiu said.
"Is the child still not well?"
"No, the young lady said that the effect of these medicines is not that strong, but relatively mild. Take them for a few days and observe."
"You really trust someone who doesn't have a medical license." Mrs. Xie sneered.
"Madam, don't say that. At least the young lady cured the eyes of the young master of Nancheng."
"That's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse." Mrs. Xie responded coldly.
It is said that birds of a feather flock together. Since Mrs. Xie adopted Zhou Han as her goddaughter.
Spending the whole day with her, Zhou Han would brainwash her from time to time.
Mrs. Xie has gradually lost all affection for Tu Ran, and all the kindness she once showed has turned into conspiracy and intrigue.
Zhou Han even hinted that perhaps Tu Ran had always been one of Xie Huailan's people.
He is an undercover agent, placed next to Xie Nancheng.
That's why Xie Nancheng was able to be detoxified so quickly. This is called the "Trick of Self-Injury".
After thinking about it over and over again, Mrs. Xie felt that this might really be possible.
Just because Xie Huaishan hasn't been seen making things difficult for Tu Ran for a long time, and instead has been trying hard to discredit Nancheng, it can be seen that they don't seem to want to target Tu Ran.
But what Mrs. Xie didn't know was that Xie Huailan had tried many times, but every time he failed.
The target has been shifted because the big fish behind said not to touch Tu Ran for the time being.
But these reasons became one of the conditions for Mrs. Xie to suspect Tu Ran.
Mrs. Xie frowned and walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and got some water.
Subconsciously, he glanced at the soup pot where the medicine was cooking.
"Is this medicine for reducing fever?" asked Mrs. Xie.
"It seems to have a calming effect, because Miss Tongtong keeps having nightmares, and the old lady is really angry. She even scolded the Third Master last night."
Mrs. Xie had no intention of listening to what the Third Master said, and just stared at the pot of medicine.
At this time, Sister Qiu was called out to do other work.
Mrs. Xie moved closer to the medicine as if possessed by a spirit, and then served herself a small bowl.
Then he deliberately stood under surveillance and drank it in small sips.
She knew that even if she was not sick, there would be no problem if she took some Chinese medicine.
But this Chinese medicine was brought by Tu Ran, and the prescription and ingredients were all prepared by her personally.
If there is any problem with the food, she will be to blame...
When Sister Qiu came back, she saw Mrs. Xie drinking Chinese medicine and her face turned pale with fright.
"Ma'am, what are you doing?"
"How can you drink it?"
"Why are you so anxious? I haven't been sleeping well lately. You just said it has a calming effect, so I drank a little bit. Can't you just make it for Tongtong?"
"Don't I even have the right to drink some Chinese medicine in this house?"
"Of course not, ma'am, that's not what I meant. I just think that medicine is poisonous to some extent. You are in good health, so there is no need for you to drink this stuff." Sister Qiu quickly explained.
"I know my own body. Okay, I'm going upstairs. Remember to wash some fruit and bring it up for me later."
After Madam Xie left, Sister Qiu was filled with emotion and muttered to herself, "This Madam, ever since she adopted a goddaughter, she seems like a completely different person. I'm afraid that goddaughter hasn't played any good role. The Young Madam was such a good girl, ah...how did she end up like this?"
Sister Qiu and Aunt Ping have been in the Xie family for the longest time because they are both the old lady's people.
Therefore, he has great authority and has contact with many things related to the Xie family on a daily basis.
The more this happens, the more they can tell who is good and who is bad.
The young lady has been married for quite some time. If it were any other girl, she would have started showing off with her nose in the air.
After all, she married into the richest family.
However, the young lady is extremely low-key. No major media outlets across the country have ever exposed her information. You won't see her posting any social updates or holding any banquets at home. She has a very low sense of presence. But the person who is so liked by the young master and the old lady of Nancheng must be right.
Midnight
A phone call from the old house woke up Xie Nancheng and Tu Ran who were sleeping.
"Master Nancheng, please come back soon."
"The lady has been poisoned."
"Ah?" Xie Nancheng was suddenly frightened and sobered up a lot.
"What's wrong?" Tu Ran turned over and asked.
"They said my mother was poisoned." Xie Nancheng seemed to be still in a daze.
At this moment, Tu Ran also became alert and no longer felt sleepy.
She sat up immediately and said, "Let's go back and take a look. Call an ambulance and take him to the hospital for gastric lavage. Saving lives is the most important thing. Let's go straight to the hospital."
Xie Nancheng nodded, and the two of them drove all the way to the hospital.
The magical thing is that Mr. Xie hasn't arrived yet. Instead, the old lady is at the door with Sister Qiu and Aunt Ping.
"Where's my dad?"
"Sir, the phone is unreachable. It's out of service area."
"But when he left in the morning, he said he was going fishing with an old friend. I don't know if he went to the mountains for night fishing," said Sister Qiu.
"How could my mother be poisoned for no reason?"
Sister Qiu didn't answer, but she said, "Miss Tongtong was also poisoned, but her condition is less severe than Madam's."
"What? Tongtong is also poisoned?" Xie Nancheng was shocked again.
"Did they eat something in common?" Xie Nancheng asked.
Sister Qiu glanced at Xie Nancheng, then at Tu Ran beside him, "They...all drank the Chinese medicine prescribed by the young lady."
Now, everyone's eyes were on Tu Ran.
