Mrs. Ye was so frightened that she almost dropped the spatula in her hand.
She originally thought that the chrysanthemum honey drink tasted wrong because she made it too early and left it for too long, making it stale. However, she never dared to think about adding drugs.
But there are only a few people in the kitchen, and no outsiders come in. Who would drug someone?
"Master..."
Mrs. Ye wanted to say something, but Mr. Jiang raised his hand to stop her.
"Let the doctor check it out and you'll know."
The doctor first took Mr. Jiang's pulse, then checked the drink in the barrel, and said with certainty: "It must be water boiled with senna leaves.
“Senna leaves have a slightly bitter taste with a sweet aftertaste, and when added to this, it is indeed a little difficult to distinguish.
"But don't worry, it's not toxic, it's just a cold herb that helps with bowel movements and urination.
"It's especially effective for the elderly and those who are physically weak."
While the doctor was saying these words, Mr. Jiang had already gone to the toilet again.
When everyone heard the doctor's words, cold sweat broke out on their backs.
Although none of the people attending the banquet today were too old, the fact that Princess Rui was in poor health was known to everyone in the capital.
If something happens to her after she drinks this, not only Mr. Jiang but everyone else will be in trouble.
Lin Yumei was the most straightforward person. After hearing this, she turned her head and looked at Wu Ying and Tian Xiaohui.
"There are only a few people in the kitchen. Who did this? You'd better come forward!"
Wu Ying was so frightened that she shook her head repeatedly: "I didn't, I didn't even go in that direction today."
Tian Xiaohui said, "Who said there are only a few people in the kitchen? I clearly saw someone from outside come to see Brother Ye today."
Mrs. Ye was startled when she heard this and quickly turned to look at Boss Ye.
I don’t know anyone here, so who would come to see Boss Ye?
Lin Yuying keenly sensed Tian Xiaohui's intention and glared at her, asking, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that Brother Ye can find someone to harm Sister Ye?"
Tian Xiaohui was stunned by the question and quickly said, "That's not what I meant. I meant that since someone could come in to see Brother Ye, maybe someone could sneak in and drug him. Why do you only suspect us?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang also looked at Boss Ye.
After Sister Ye finished preparing the fourth dish and served it to Feng Yueying, she handed it to her to arrange the dishes. She wiped her hands and hurried over to ask, "Who was looking for you just now?"
Boss Ye only said: "Someone did come in just now, but he definitely couldn't have poisoned him.
"If you say it's impossible, it's impossible?" Tian Xiaohui's voice became sharp in her anxiety.
"Just tell me now. I'm so anxious!"
Mrs. Ye knew that her husband was not that kind of person, so she didn't want him to be framed and urged him to explain himself clearly.
Boss Ye originally didn't want to reveal the fact that his family knew the Qin family in front of others, but seeing the situation now, he had no choice but to say it.
“The people who just came are Young Master Qin and his followers. He came to play with Qingtian.
"I went out once before and saw Young Master Qin coaxing Qingtian to talk at the door.
“Then you told me to come back quickly. I saw that Young Master Qin was not a bad person, so I told Qingtian not to go out and came back to help you light the fire.
"Later, Young Master Qin wanted to take Qingtian out to enjoy the flowers, so he sent his attendant in to tell me.
"I told him to send Qingtian back before lunch, and then he agreed."
Tian Xiaohui didn’t know who the Young Master Qin that Boss Ye was talking about was, but anyone who could be called Young Master must be one of today’s guests.
But precisely because of this, she felt that Boss Ye must be lying.
Maybe he thought that if he just made up the identity of a guest, Mr. Jiang would not dare to pursue the matter further.
"You said Young Master Qin is Young Master Qin? Who knows if you are lying?
"The people here today are all well-known figures. How could they possibly recognize a country boy like you?"
Boss Ye looked up at Tian Xiaohui and said, "Why are you so excited? Do you really have to put the blame on me?"
Tian Xiaohui's face turned pale and she said in panic: "How could it be? I just said that someone outside came in. I didn't say it was you who did it."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Mr. Jiang, wanting to see what his attitude was towards this matter.
Tian Xiaohui didn't know, but Mr. Jiang knew all the guests today.
There is only one family with the surname Qin.
Boss Ye also said that Young Master Qin was just teasing her daughter. Is that possible?
Mr. Jiang was already about to lose his temper. Was he being treated like a fool?
But when Ye Xiaohui raised her doubts first, Mr. Jiang calmed down again.
After spending these days together, he thought he had some understanding of Boss Ye and Sister Ye's personalities.
Otherwise, he would not have asked Boss Ye to help watch over the entry and exit of the kitchen staff.
He always felt that Boss Ye was not the kind of person who would lie.
And to be honest, Mrs. Ye is the chef today. If this flower viewing banquet goes well, her value will definitely rise, and it will not be a problem for her to make a fortune in the future.
But if it goes wrong, especially if everyone gets diarrhea, then forget about reputation and making money, you might be arrested and handed over to the authorities for severe punishment.
Boss Ye must be out of his mind to do something that harms others and himself.
"Does your family know the Qin family?" Although Mr. Jiang thought it was impossible, he still asked this question.
"Madam Qin went to the border to fetch Young Master Qin back to the capital, but was attacked by refugees along the way and lost several of her guards.
