A bottle carved from a large, intact piece of jade is truly a rare find.
The second young master pleaded with him for a long time before he finally agreed to see him off.
Just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly noticed something unusual.
That was the wine that had been spilled on the ground, producing tiny, bluish bubbles.
Lord Jiang's eyes widened, his pupils dilated, and his blood seemed to cool down.
He immediately grabbed Jiang Shijing by the collar, pulled him over to look at him, and said angrily, "What's wrong with this wine? Did you put something in it?"
"No, I don't have any. It was my second brother who gave it to me. He said it was delicious, but I couldn't bear to drink it, so I brought it to Father."
At the time, he took a sip to gain the second young master's trust, but spat it out after the second young master left.
With a stern face, Lord Jiang released Jiang Shijing.
He hurriedly stepped out of the room and instructed the people outside, "Bring the physician from the prefecture, but don't disturb anyone else."
Qiao Lian'er squatted to the side and added some things to the remaining wine in the bottle and the wine that had spilled on the ground.
They need to throw in some bombshells.
It has to be said that Jiang Shijing regained his senses, saving her a lot of trouble.
To accomplish something, it's much easier if all parties work together and form a tacit understanding where timing, location, and people are all in harmony.
Lord Jiang paced back and forth in the main hall, his expression dark and uncertain.
Jiang Shijin also squatted on the ground, observing the drinks. Compared to his earlier act of feigning madness, his expression was very calm, with a sharp glint in his eyes. His messy hair hung down, obscuring his expression.
Seemingly having discovered something, a slight change appeared on his face, a look of disbelief on his face, as he glanced around.
He had actually tested the wine in the jade bottle with poison in his own room. He poured half a handful on the floor and observed the reaction for a quarter of an hour.
But the spilled wine is not only bluish, but also faintly tinged with black, which is clearly an even worse omen.
He remembered that he always carried this jade bottle with him and no one else had ever touched it.
Jiang Shijing suddenly laughed, looked up at the sky, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and uttered a sentence.
"Even the heavens are helping me."
Qiao Lian'er said quietly, "I am not the heavens, helping you is just helping my family."
The imperial physician arrived, and Lord Jiang led him to the study.
Seeing Jiang Shijing sitting on the ground, dipping his finger in the wine and examining it curiously, as if he was about to put it in his mouth.
Lord Jiang was shocked and slapped down with his hand: "Go away, get out of here, you madman, you really are a madman."
He then instructed the doctor, "Quickly examine this wine."
The doctor examined her thoroughly. He first tested for poison with a silver needle, and then used various medicinal herbs, powders, and alcohol to assess the effects. His expression grew increasingly serious.
"I wonder where Lord Jiang obtained this wine from."
"You don't need to ask that. Just tell me what's going on with this wine."
The doctor took a deep breath: "Two poisons were added to the wine. One can worsen epilepsy and turn someone into a senile person, while the other can cause intestinal perforation and sudden death within ten days."
