Lu Ziwei shook her head, denying it, "How could it be him? You must be mistaken."

“I hate bitterness the most. He must have added sugar powder to the medicine bowl. Yes... it must be sugar powder.”

Su Yujiao took out a medicine bowl: "This is the medicine bowl you just took last night. There is still some residual medicine in it. I have checked it and it does contain trace amounts of safflower and musk. It may not be noticeable once or twice, but long-term use will cause miscarriage."

Lu Ziwei's face turned pale: "It couldn't be him, absolutely not."

"Even if someone did drug it, it must have been someone else."

Seeing that she refused to accept reality, Su Yujiao didn't try to persuade her further. There was no point in trying to persuade her; she had to process it herself.

After a long while, Lu Ziwei asked, her eyes brimming with tears, "Why did he do that?"

"He clearly loves me so much, what reason does he have to do that?"

"I don't believe it, there must be a mistake."

"I'm going to find him and ask him right now."

Su Yujiao grabbed her arm: "Are you stupid? If you confront him directly, do you think he'll admit it? Does he dare to admit it?"

"Then what should I do?" Lu Ziwei seemed a little exasperated.

Why did you tell me the truth? Wouldn't it have been better to let me continue to be happy?

“I would rather continue to believe the lies he told me.”

Su Yujiao was speechless: "This is not just a lie, he wants to kill you."

"You still have value to him and the Li family now, but once you're no longer of any use, he'll send you on your way with a bowl of poison."

Lu Ziwei covered her ears and frantically denied it: "No, no, he wouldn't be so heartless to me."

What reason would he have to do that?

"I come from a good family, have good character, am good-looking, and love him wholeheartedly, so why would he do this?"

"Because he likes someone else!"

"You're blocking someone's way!"

"Feelings have no reason. No matter how good you are, you can't compare to a single hair on the white moonlight. If you don't like someone, you just don't like them."

"His beloved woman could not give him the power and fame he wanted, so he married the daughter of a general."

"When he achieves fame and fortune, you will become a stumbling block on his road to happiness, and he will naturally want to get rid of you."

Unable to accept this reality, Lu Ziwei broke down and ran away.

"Follow her, don't let her do anything foolish, and don't let her confront Li Rongheng."

"Once she figures it out, she'll know what to do."

That night, Lu Ziwei drank the pregnancy-preserving medicine that Li Rongheng personally fed her and then fell asleep.

At night, Lu Ziwei quietly got up and rummaged through the man's clothes, suddenly finding an oil paper package.

Her face paled, and tears instantly streamed down her face. She covered her mouth tightly with her hand, trying not to cry out.

By the moonlight, the woman opened the oil paper package and found white powder inside. She poured out a little of the powder and put the oil paper package back in its place.

Lu Ziwei stayed awake until dawn. As soon as Li Rongheng left, she hurriedly went to a nearby pharmacy and asked the most experienced pharmacist there to identify the medicine.

"Doctor, can you tell what this is?"

Looking at the veiled woman in front of him, Physician Xu couldn't help but become cautious.

He looked at the white powder, smelled it, and even tasted it with his finger.

"Madam, this is extremely precious white sugar, sweeter than brown sugar but without the burnt taste of brown sugar."

Lu Ziwei was taken aback, her expression softened, and she asked again, "What miraculous effect would it have if this white sugar were added to the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine?"

Doctor Xu shook his head: "Although the medicine is bitter, I do not recommend adding white sugar, as it will affect the efficacy of the medicine."

"If you are really afraid of bitterness, you can rinse your mouth after taking the medicine and then hold a piece of candied fruit in your mouth to suppress the bitterness."

"Besides affecting the efficacy of the medication, could there be other harms, such as causing miscarriage in pregnant women?"

Doctor Xu laughed and said, "Madam, please don't joke. This is just ordinary white sugar. How could it cause a woman to miscarry?"

"If sugar and medicinal soup turned into poison after being ingested, who would dare to eat them?"

"Madam, you're overthinking it."

Lu Ziwei left the pharmacy in high spirits with the white sugar in her hand. She thought to herself, "Jiaojiao was overthinking it. Her husband loves her so much, how could he poison her?"

He must have added sugar to the herbal medicine to prevent it from being too bitter.

This white sugar is extremely precious, and my husband is never stingy with it.

She went to tell Jiaojiao to stop misunderstanding her husband.

Lu Ziwei originally wanted to go to the teahouse from last time, but suddenly remembered that she had left in a hurry last time without asking where Jiaojiao was staying.

But she definitely wouldn't stay at the teahouse, so I'd better go back and ask Mo Ying.

Lu Ziwei returned to the Li residence and, seeing that no one was around, quietly called out Mo Ying.

“Go back and tell Jiaojiao that she’s overthinking it. This is just sugar, not poison.”

"He was just afraid I would suffer; the person who poisoned me was someone else."

"By the way, tell her that I won't tell Rong Heng about this. I have doubts about him, but I don't want him to know. Tell Jiao Jiao not to have any more doubts in the future."

"Keep an eye on this, and make sure you find the person who poisoned you."

"I'll see who's been trying to frame me!"

Mo Ying didn't disappear immediately as usual; he seemed to be hesitating about whether to say something.

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to say?"

“From the time you left the manor until you returned, someone was secretly following you.”

"I wanted to go and see where that person ended up, but I have to protect your safety, so I have to give up."

Lu Ziwei's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

"You suspect that the person who was following me is the one who poisoned me?"

Mo Ying hesitated for a moment before speaking: "That's one possibility, and there's another possibility."

"What?"

"Perhaps this sugar is the result that Lord Li wants you to see."

Lu Ziwei slammed her fist on the table in anger. Why was everyone doubting her husband?

Can't they wish her some good things?

If she can't say harsh words to Jiaojiao, can't she at least vent her anger on the Lu family's secret guards?

"Don't talk nonsense without evidence in the future. Watch your mouth."

"Otherwise, you might as well lose your tongue."

"Yes, please calm down, Miss."

In the following days, Su Yujiao seemed to have disappeared, and Lu Ziwei did not take the initiative to contact her.

To avoid her saying anything doubtful that would upset me.

About three days later, Mo Ying suddenly handed Lu Ziwei a letter.

"Did Jiaojiao give this to me?"

After reading the letter, Lu Ziwei frowned unconsciously. Her first reaction was that Su Yujiao was really good at causing trouble.

But I know she meant well, so I don't want to offend her.

Moreover, she also wanted to quickly find out who had poisoned her.

"Okay, I will do as she says."

The next day, Lu Ziwei went to see Madam Li and said she wanted to stay at the temple for a few days to pray for the baby in her womb and ask the Bodhisattva to bless the child so that it could be born safely.
