Chapter 31 Poisonous
"You're overthinking it." Xie Mubai said calmly, "Second sister-in-law is an honest person. She doesn't understand the taboos when taking medicine."
Among the Xie family's daughters-in-law, Qian had the lowest social status.
Since entering the mansion, she has kept a low profile and never caused trouble.
If she hadn't had a son, many people probably wouldn't have remembered that there was such a person in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
If you say she would do something bad, probably no one would believe it.
Shen Wan didn't think much about it, and wiped Xie Mubai's hands with a wet towel, and then gave him an egg pie, which was given to her by the cook at the post station before she set off.
Xie Mubai took the pie and ate it very elegantly.
Oh my god, how come even the villain looks so good when eating!
Shen Wan looked at it and couldn't help but look like a fangirl.
Seeing this ugly woman staring at him infatuatedly, Xie Mubai asked calmly, "Does it look good?"
Shen Wan nodded and said very confidently: “It looks good.”
Xie Mubai couldn't help but be speechless.
This was the first time he had seen a woman with such a thick skin.
Maybe we should let this ugly girl drink more mung bean porridge to cool down her temper, otherwise who knows what shocking things she might do.
Mung bean porridge can clear heat and is more delicious than steamed corn bread, so the prisoners drank a few more bowls.
"Give it to the child." Seeing Zhao sitting on the side of the road with a tired look on her face, Scarface handed over his bowl.
This sudden show of goodwill was enough to make Zhao see what he was trying to do, even if she was stupid.
"No... no need..." Her face turned red and she immediately shook her head.
Dabao was still young and didn't understand what was going on. He grabbed Zhao's sleeve and started crying, "Mom, I want to drink. I'm hot..."
The weather was really too hot, and Zhao also wanted to make a bowl of mung bean porridge for her son to reduce his internal heat, but this was sent by Scarface, so could she accept it?
Seeing that Dabao was crying so sadly, she hesitated for a moment, but still reluctantly stretched out her hand.
"Sister-in-law!" Qian suddenly spoke up, coldly saying, "We are widows, and we have to avoid suspicion when we are in a melon field or a plum tree."
After hearing this, Zhao retracted her outstretched hand.
Yes, she has to avoid suspicion.
She was a widow, and apart from her son, nothing was more important than her reputation.
If his reputation is damaged, it will not be a good thing for Dabao.
"I appreciate your kindness, sir." She forced a smile and said slowly, "But we really don't need it."
Seeing her like this, Scarface didn't say anything else and got up and left.
All of this fell into Aunt Zhou's sight without a single mistake.
She was about to speak when she saw a prisoner scream and suddenly roll on the ground holding his stomach!
Immediately afterwards, other prisoners also screamed in pain, and this situation occurred one after another.
Shen Wan was startled and hurried forward to check.
"Sister, what happened to us?" Hu Dahai asked reluctantly, his face pale with pain.
Shen Wan’s heart tightened: “Poisoned.”
Poisoned!
After a brief panic, Aunt Zhou quickly regained her composure.
She pointed at Shen Wan’s nose and couldn’t help cursing: “Bitch, it must be you who did it!”
"These green beans are all yours, and you are the only one who had access to the drugs. Who else could have done this if not you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed.
Scarface didn't drink the mung bean porridge, so he wasn't poisoned.
Upon hearing this, his rough big hand immediately pressed on the long sword at his waist.
That’s right, this ugly girl is the biggest suspect!
"It's true that Chen Wan is not smart, but she is definitely not stupid!" Xie Mubai smiled coldly, with a strong sense of sarcasm between the lines. "If she really wants to do it, she might as well watch you all get bitten to death by wolves one by one. Why bother with so much trouble?"
He was not exaggerating. If Shen Wan hadn't been there that night, this group of people would have suffered heavy losses, although they would not have been completely wiped out.
"I believe in my fifth sister-in-law too!" Xie Murong said immediately after hearing this.
Hu Dahai clutched his stomach, his teeth chattering in pain. "Let's not talk about this for now. Sister, please save us."
Shen Wan frowned, and her cold gaze passed over everyone's faces like a dragonfly skimming the water.
"I will never do something that is thankless again." She thought for a moment and said coldly, "I won't save anyone who doubts me."
Upon hearing this, the prisoners shouted, "Young Madam, I never doubted you..."
"Yeah, there are so many people who weren't poisoned, why do you say it was you who did it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on the women of the Xie family.
Apart from Shen Wan and Xie Mubai, they were the only ones who were okay.
Shen Wan glanced at Scarface and said coldly, "Keep an eye on those who haven't been poisoned. If anyone escapes, you'll be in trouble."
Although he was suspicious of this ugly woman, Scarface still nodded in order to let her save people.
Shen Wan took out the silver needle and quickly inserted a few needles into Hu Dahai's acupuncture points.
As soon as the needle fell, Hu Dahai's face changed and he bent down and vomited.
They have been poisoned for a short time and the poison is not very strong, so inducing vomiting is definitely the best way.
Seeing her treating Hu Dahai, the other prisoners also came forward.
After vomiting, everyone's abdominal pain was relieved to varying degrees.
"Who is the unscrupulous person who did this?" Hu Dahai gasped for breath and cursed viciously.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan immediately looked towards Xie Mubai.
The mung beans are hers, the fire is lit by Scarface, and the porridge is cooked by Hu Dahai. There will definitely be no problems with these three links.
Xie Mubai thought about it and his eyes fell on the two wooden barrels for drawing water.
Shen Wan understood and immediately went forward to check.
She reached out and gently touched the wall of the bucket, and sure enough, there were a few scattered bits of white powder on it.
"Girl, what's the problem?" Hu Dahai asked nervously.
Shen Wan didn't answer, but asked coldly: "Who fetched the water?"
Upon hearing this, Li was so scared that she stood up quickly.
Her face turned pale and she stammered, "It was me...my second sister-in-law and I who fetched the water..."
"I promise, this water is fine!"
"I even drank several sips of water by the river when I was fetching it."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan immediately looked towards Qian.
"It's not me." Qian said calmly, "I have no money and can't afford poison."
Li was the most innocent, and she also echoed: "Yes, my second sister-in-law would never do such a thing."
"Besides, she has no grudges against these people, why would she do this?"
Xie Mubai didn't say anything, but just winked at Chen Wan.
Shen Wan looked at it and immediately walked up to Qian to search her body.
"Don't touch me!" Qian's face changed and she struggled desperately, "I already said, I didn't do it!"
Seeing his mother being bullied, Erbao, who was always well-behaved, also rushed forward.
"Let my mother go, you bad woman!" He raised his small fist and hit Shen Wan hard.
During the struggle, a small paper bag fell from Qian's body.
