Although Wu Erman seemed to have accepted his fate and did not move, Su Qingluan still had him tied up tightly to prevent him from suddenly attacking and hurting others or escaping.
The side of the clothes stained with the red paper was torn out and thrown on the ground. The silver on it made Wu Erman feel ashamed and Wu Dani gritted her teeth in hatred: although she always looked down on this younger brother and was not close to him, everyone knew that they were a family.
Even if the relationship is not harmonious, after all, if the bones are broken, the tendons are connected. How will everyone look at me and my mother at home? What is my brother trying to achieve by doing such a stupid thing that harms others and does not benefit himself?
Thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind. Wu Dani gritted her teeth and kicked Wu Erman several times: "What on earth do you want to do? Are you going to kill us all?"
Several people saw Wu Erman being kicked in the waist and abdomen, curled up in pain like a big shrimp, and were afraid that someone would die again, so some of them tried to persuade him while pulling Wu Dani away with their hands.
Su Qingluan lowered her eyes to look at Wu Erman, who was curled up on the ground, groaning and crying out in pain, and no longer arguing. "The evidence is conclusive, what else do you want to say?"
Wu Erman's curled up body was obviously stiff for a moment, but soon relaxed again. He shook his head silently, as if he had left everything to fate and would no longer fight for it.
"What is this powder? It's definitely not a good thing, right?" Su Qingluan sneered, "Laxative? Arsenic?"
"No!" Wu Erman jumped up as if he had been electrocuted when he heard the last two words. "I didn't! It wasn't arsenic! I just gave you a laxative to teach you a lesson. I... I don't dare to kill anyone!"
Liu Yunniang, who was listening nearby, was furious and couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Oh, so we should thank you for your kindness, eh?"
Su Qingluan stared expressionlessly at Wu Erman's dusty, terrified face. "But Wu Erman, for those wealthy people who enjoy this jam, whether they get diarrhea or die, it's all the same. There's only one fate waiting for everyone."
"But, but no one else was involved, you were the main person in charge..." Wu Erman murmured, and his tone didn't sound like he was defending himself, but more like he was trying to convince himself.
"But to outsiders, we're all part of a whole, participating in the creation of the jam together." Su Qingluan looked down at Wu Erman. "Even though you said you didn't want to kill anyone, if I hadn't discovered your problem today, everyone would have been dragged down with you to be buried with you."
Hearing the word "buried with him", Wu Erman trembled all over again and raised his head suddenly: "I didn't, I didn't mean to!" He turned his head abruptly to look at his sister who was nearby, and begged him as if he had asked Wu Dani to clean up the mess countless times when he was a child, "Sister, I didn't mean it! Please talk to Shopkeeper Su and the others..."
Wu Erni closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her breath trembling.
After a moment, she opened her eyes and looked at Su Qingluan: "Shopkeeper Su, although I am Wu Erman's sister, if it weren't for the alertness of Shopkeeper Su and Madam Liu, I'm afraid none of us would have ended up well. By then, my mother would be left alone and helpless, and who knows what would happen to her."
As if realizing something, Wu Erman looked at Wu Dani in disbelief: "Sister? I'm your biological brother, born from the same mother! You! How can you be so cruel..."
Wu Dani turned her head and roared, "When you put the drug in this pot, did you ever consider that it would implicate me, your biological sister? You did all those stupid things before and asked me to clean up the mess. Did you ever consider that I was your biological sister? You took my mother-in-law's life-saving money to gamble. Did you ever consider that I was your biological sister?"
As Wu Dani asked questions full of resentment, Wu Erman's angry and unwilling expression gradually became weak and timid, and those who wanted to persuade Wu Dani also stopped talking.
Wu Dani casually wiped the tear marks from her eyes with the back of her hand, then looked in Su Qingluan's direction. She had already sorted out her emotions, no longer looking like she was in a state of collapse. "Shopkeeper Su, no matter what, I understand that Wu Erman can't let this matter go. Don't worry, I'll go and persuade my mother at home. If she wants to make a scene, come and make trouble for me, and you can do whatever you want!"
After saying this, he turned his head and no longer looked at Wu Erman.
At this time, the person who went to find the doctor came back.
Although the doctor was not as skilled as the one from Huichuntang, he was not a mediocre doctor either. He could identify common or relatively rare medicinal herbs.
He took out a piece of cloth from his bosom, gently spread it out in his hands, used a small wooden spoon to scoop some medicine powder scattered from the mouth of the porcelain bottle, and gently twisted it apart.
Then he leaned in closer and sniffed it, his brows furrowed and a look of confusion on his face.
Su Qingluan and a group of people watched helplessly from the side, but they didn't dare to disturb the man's work. They only saw the man smell and taste it, then immediately spit it out, his face changed drastically.
Su Qingluan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, doctor, is there something wrong with this laxative?"
"Laxative?" The doctor suddenly turned his head and looked at him. His eyes, which had been narrowed into slits, widened slightly. "Who told you this is a laxative?"
Su Qingluan pointed at Wu Erman and said, "It was this guy who spilled the medicine, and he was the one who said it was a laxative."
The doctor glared at him, his goatee snorting coldly, vividly illustrating the meaning of "blowing one's beard and glaring at others." "You are truly heartless! This thing is harmful to people, yet you dare to put it in food? It's absolutely vicious!"
Su Qingluan's eyelids jumped, and she hurried to ask for details. It turned out that this thing was called "Immortal Powder". After taking it for a short time, it would make you feel like you were drunk and euphoric, with a hot body. However, if you were not careful, you could easily die.
This thing is a low-end version of the "Wu Shi San" used by wealthy families, but it also requires eating cold food and drinking alcohol to "disperse" it, and it is easy to die if you are not careful.
What's more, if people unknowingly eat fruit jam mixed with this "magic powder", they will feel hot all over and take off their clothes, staggering around, which may cause a bigger disturbance.
Therefore, any decent doctor, unless he is completely unscrupulous, will definitely warn people who take it to stay away from it.
At this moment, Wu Erman, who had just resigned himself to his fate, suddenly stood up and roared, "It was Hu Laoliu! It was Hu Laoliu who tricked me! He said it was just a laxative and wouldn't kill me!"
When Su Qingluan heard the name "Hu Laoliu", her eyelids twitched, and the people around her who were watching the excitement exclaimed in surprise.
