Chapter 65 Murder
"Moreover, the young master's diet has always been closely monitored by this old servant. He has never eaten anything related to plum blossoms, and he has never used water that has touched plum blossoms to make tea or cook. Even the few people we serve will never be stained with the scent of plum blossoms."
"Besides, when the young master had an allergic reaction in the past, he would have an attack on the spot. But this time, after the young master drank the last cup of tea, it took half an hour for him to faint. This old servant thinks that the young master should not be allergic."
Mother Zheng asked in surprise, "Miss Su really didn't make any mistakes in the diagnosis?"
"Yes, it is indeed an allergy." Su Yujin was very sure, "The duration of this allergy attack ranges from the moment it occurs to more than half an hour, which is considered a very common thing."
"As for what Madam Zheng said about not having a rash, that is also normal. Allergy symptoms are different each time, and a rash may not appear every time. But Master Yi did not have a rash this time because he had taken medicine in advance that could suppress the rash caused by allergies."
Li's eyelids twitched immediately, "Miss Su means..."
Someone wants to harm Zhou Ruoyi.
Zhou Ruoyi was not only allergic, but he was also given medicine to suppress the rash in advance. This was clearly intended to confuse the doctor so that he could not determine that it was an allergy, and the treatment would naturally not be appropriate.
Allergens are life-threatening diseases. If it is too late, Zhou Ruoyi will not be able to be saved.
Just like before, Doctor Ge couldn't see it...
Fortunately, Miss Su was there, which saved Zhou Ruoyi's life.
Li gritted her teeth, her anger almost reaching her forehead, "Call all the people who served Yi'er today and interrogate them one by one!"
"Also, ask all the maids and servants in the kitchen who are responsible for cooking and boiling water in the courtyard what they have done today and where all the things they have handled came from. You must ask them in detail and not leave out a single detail!"
Anyone who could have attacked Zhou Ruoyi must be someone close to him, and they must all be carefully interrogated one by one!
"Madam, there is no need to go to so much trouble." Su Yujin said, "The medicine that suppresses allergies has a very unique property. Even if it is wrapped in oil paper and placed in a porcelain bottle, it can still seep out through the gaps in the oil paper and the stopper of the porcelain bottle."
"Since that person was so cruel to Master Yi, he must have planned it carefully. The drugs must have been hidden on his body or in his room for a long time. This person must have been contaminated with the scent of the drugs."
"Ordinary people cannot smell the scent of this medicine, but there is a kind of small insects that love it very much. As long as they smell this medicine, they will swarm over and crawl all over the person's body."
"Because this little bug can be used as medicine to treat difficult and complicated diseases, and it is extremely rare outside, in order to ensure that there will be such little bugs when I use it, I specially raised a jar and put it at home. I just need to ask the mugwort to move it over later."
"But this little bug eats meat and drinks blood. It usually feeds on pork and pig blood. If it crawls all over that person's body, it might bite him or even kill him..."
"So, Madam, please help me testify when the time comes, so as to prove that I am trying to find the murderer who murdered Master Yi, and not deliberately letting these insects hurt people."
"Of course." Li nodded hurriedly and invited more people to testify to prove Su Yujin's innocence.
Ai Cao received Su Yujin's instructions and went back to get something.
Li screened all the people roughly first, and asked those who were even slightly suspicious to stand in the yard, waiting for Su Yujin's inspection later.
At the same time, someone served Su Yujin another bowl of hot tea.
Su Yujin took a sip of tea, then sighed with a slightly serious expression.
"Is there anything wrong?" Li asked.
"It's nothing, but although this little bug can smell those medicines and find the people who harmed Master Yi, there is a way to make the smell of this kind of medicine disappear completely."
Su Yujin said, "Just pour tea water on your body and the smell of medicine will be eliminated. Yes, it is the Lu'an tea I am drinking now."
"If that person knew this method..."
Li suddenly became quite worried.
Is it impossible to find that person again?
"This method is not known to many people. Even Doctor Ge may not know it. I don't think this person has such great ability. I just said it casually. Madam, don't worry too much."
After saying that, Su Yujin glanced at Mother Zheng who was standing behind Li, "Hey, Mother Zheng, why don't you go to the courtyard and wait together?"
"Miss Su, what do you mean by that? Are you doubting me?" Madam Zheng looked horrified, and then she knelt down in front of Li. "Miss, I have served you since you were little, and now I am serving Master Yi. Over the years, have you ever seen me not doing my best?"
"I never said you were not doing your best. Hurry up and get up." Li reached out and helped Mother Zheng up. "We need to find the murderer who murdered Yi'er now. Miss Su is also being cautious. Mother Zheng should listen to Miss Su's words."
"That's exactly the truth. Since Madam Zheng is loyal, she naturally didn't do those things. She won't be afraid of me coming to test her." Su Yujin said, "Please go to the courtyard and wait for a while. I will just wait for Ai Cao to bring the things over and clear Madam Zheng's name."
Seeing that Li and Su Yujin both said this, Mother Zheng had no choice but to stand up and nodded, "Yes, I understand."
After saying this, he walked out.
I don’t know if it was because Mother Zheng was old, or because she stood up too quickly after kneeling down, but she was not walking steadily at the moment. She moved her feet by herself and stumbled onto the round table next to Su Yujin.
The table shook, and the teacups and teapots on it all fell over the table with a clatter. The round teacup even shook a few times and then rolled down, falling onto the blue brick floor in the room and breaking into pieces.
The table and the floor were a mess, and tea was spilling everywhere.
"It's my fault..."
Mother Zheng was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurried to pick up the tea and wipe the tea stains on the table, only getting her body soaked.
"Be careful not to get scratched by the debris." Li tried to stop her. Seeing that half of Li's dress was wet and it was freezing outside, she said, "Mom, go change your clothes. Don't get frozen."
"It's okay. You just need to wait for a moment. Miss Ai Cao has been gone for a while. I think it's time for her to come. I will be the first to come and verify it. After I prove my innocence, I will go change my clothes." Mother Zheng said.
Seeing that Mother Zheng insisted, Li no longer tried to stop her and just let her stand in the yard.
Ai Cao came back quickly, holding a jar about one foot high in his hand.
