Chapter 047 Who gave me the drug?
"Boss, something's not right. Did we eat something bad?" The bailiff covered his stomach in pain, but as soon as he finished speaking, he went back into the woods, making an embarrassing sound.
Zhang Xiang frowned and found that not all the yamen runners had diarrhea. Those who didn't eat pork in the morning were fine now.
What's not to understand?
But according to common sense, in such temperature, nothing will break down in one night.
Sometimes they take two or three days to prepare things, and it’s not the first time.
"Stop, stop, stop, take a break." Zhang Xiang had unbearable abdominal pain, his legs and feet were weak, and he really couldn't walk anymore.
Both families were naturally happy to be able to rest, especially the Li family. They were exhausted from diarrhea yesterday and really didn't have the strength to walk today.
Li Rong's face turned pale, and she, who was usually talkative, remained silent for a long time.
Lin Siyan deliberately lowered her voice and said, "It's really strange. Yesterday, someone in our family had diarrhea, and today it's the officials, but why are the Gu family members fine?"
Zhao, who was standing by, didn't know that Lin Siyan had said that on purpose.
Her eyes obviously lit up, and she walked up to Zhang Xiang in a flattering manner and repeated Lin Siyan's words with some exaggeration.
Zhang Xiang looked at the Gu family with a sinister look. It was indeed a bit strange that the little girl gave him so much meat and the adults in their family didn't say a word or even try to stop her.
Could it really be the Gu family's doing?
The two families are at odds with each other, so he will turn a blind eye to whatever they want to do. But if they set their sights on him, he will definitely not tolerate it.
“You… come here!”
Li Mumu looked at Zhang Xiang who was pointing the whip at him and ran over with a smile, "Uncle, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Zhang Xiang's face was stern, and he said weakly, "Tell me, did your family tamper with the pork?"
"Hands and feet? Use your hands, not your feet. They stink and can't be eaten."
The Gu family members tried to hold back their laughter, as they all knew that the little girl was playing dumb.
Zhang Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that he did it, it's... that he drugged me?"
"Add cinnamon, bay leaves, salt, and..." Li Mumu counted them one by one on her fingers.
Zhang Xiang didn't finish listening and ran out again. When he came back, he walked even slower. "That's not it. This is spice. It's... it's medicine... medicine. Don't you know it's medicine?"
Li Mumu looked at the people who were jumping up and down in anger because of him, and felt a wave of happiness in his heart. He would die, but not at this time. These evil people in the Li family still had to be dealt with.
Especially the scumbag father and the mistress, Zhang Xiang must be asked to deal with them. She will let Lin Siyan suffer everything her mother has suffered.
Li Mumu nodded. "Is that the medicine in Aunt Lin's sleeve?"
"It wasn't me, sir. I warned you, how could I possibly harm you?" Lin Siyan said softly, "We were also tricked. We didn't expect you, sir, to be tricked by someone like us."
These people are naturally the ones who care about their family members.
Lin Siyan's words were so sincere that everyone in the Gu family started to doubt whether they had really done it.
Zhang Xiang believed it to some extent, and his eyes became much more vicious when he looked at his family.
Li Mumu blinked her big eyes, "Aunt Lin, if you knew eating this would give you diarrhea, why didn't you just tell me? Why did you have to make the uncles have stomachaches before you told me? Why are you so mean?"
"I……"
"That's right, Aunt Lin is very sure. Since you saw us tampering with the barbecue, just tell us directly. Why do you have to make the officials suffer before you tell us?" Zhang Yi smiled faintly.
Li Mumu saw that her aunt did not fight or compete and always looked indifferent, but she always felt that she was a cold-faced killer who dealt a fatal blow to Lin Siyan.
Zhang Xiang took a deep breath. "Yes, you just said it directly. Why are you hesitating?"
"I…I wasn't sure then."
"ah."
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiang looked at Li Mumu.
"Aunt Lin also went to tamper with the barbecue in the middle of the night yesterday, but she didn't move her feet." Li Mumu said loudly.
Song Qiang took over the conversation and said that men are not good at things like quarreling. When it comes to fighting, they just need to take action. This is called doing their job.
"Isn't it? The officer who was on guard at the time also saw it. This person brought the slander to our place. Who knows if he stole the meat or did something else?" Song Qiang looked at Lin Siyan provocatively.
If you are not convinced, argue.
She was not afraid. When she was at her mother's house, she had never lost in quarrels with her stepmother, aunt and sisters.
"Is this true?" Zhang Xiang had eaten and drunk enough and slept soundly last night, and had no idea what had happened.
A voice came from the bushes, "Boss, yes, they had a fight yesterday. The woman from the Li family did go to the Gu family to steal meat."
Lin Siyan's face flushed.
Li Mumu looked at her and gave her two choices: admit that she stole the meat, or admit that she drugged her?
"I... I was just too hungry, so I went to eat something. Where would I get the medicine?" Lin Siyan denied.
Just admit it, Li Mumu curled her lips.
"Sir, think about it. After eating the pancakes yesterday, everyone had diarrhea, but only Gu Yuru's children were fine. Don't you think there's something wrong with this?"
Gu Yuru frowned. She really didn't expect Lin Siyan to be so shameless.
"Yes, this is clearly the medicine the Gu family gave us. Sir, you have to take charge of this for us." Old Mrs. Li cried out.
Everyone in the Li family cried out that they were wronged.
Gu Yuru sneered. The facts of yesterday were all before her eyes, and the Li family members were also aware of it. It was rare for them to be so united in trying to throw dirty water on their own family this time.
However, Li Mumu would never let Lin Siyan succeed.
"We ate the pancakes too, everyone saw it." Li Mumu said.
"Yes, we all ate it." Li Yunchao agreed.
"So what if I ate the cake? You guys poisoned it, so there must be an antidote?" Lin Siyan smiled complacently, having already determined that the Gu family had no chance of recovery.
"We didn't poison you, so where's the antidote? Stop slandering us. You're such a vicious woman." Gu Mingjing said, his anger almost unable to be suppressed.
Lin Siyan took two steps back, looking horrified. "Sir, you see, you're so angry now. The Gu family doesn't even take you seriously."
"Shut up and behave yourself. Do you think I'm a decoration?" Zhang Xiang scolded Gu Mingjing coldly.
Madam Gu pulled her son aside and shook her head. "Sir, we will never admit to anything we haven't done. If we wanted to harm you, we could have done it last night. Why wait until this morning?"
I have to say that old people are more experienced. Madam Gu's words actually turned the situation around.
Zhang Xiang nodded slightly, but now everyone had their own reasons, and he really couldn't be sure who it was.
At this time, Li Mumu decided to help him.
