Su Qingning: …
How much does Su Qingrou hate her? Why didn't she think twice before framing her?
He immediately said coldly:
"Miss Su San, you and your husband didn't come early today. Many people had already arrived when we got to the canteen. You mean you poisoned someone in public and no one else saw it, but you did?!"
"Besides, Doctor Lin has just diagnosed that Zhang Da's injury was caused by a poisonous ant bite. Are you denying Doctor Lin's medical skills, questioning the court's official selection mechanism, and then questioning the ability of the court officials to do their jobs?!"
He made up a few nonsense words and put a lot of high hats on Su Qingrou, which frightened her.
The crowd of onlookers saw that there was another quarrel here, and they all gathered over to watch the fun.
When everyone was amazed at Su Qingning's eloquence, they began to point fingers at Su Qingrou.
"Ha! This Su San must be a fool. His words are full of loopholes, yet he dares to come out and accuse others?!"
"Yes! Even if she testified against Li, Mrs. Xiao was indeed poisoned. She knew that there was something wrong with the porridge, but she did not inform him in advance, causing Mr. Zhang to suffer. She cannot escape the blame. Isn't this just shooting herself in the foot?!"
"Hey - I told you that the Su family doesn't have any good kids! Fortunately, Mrs. Xiao broke off the engagement with them early on!"
Su Qingrou felt ashamed and annoyed when she heard these rumors.
And then seeing Xiao Huaishuo always protecting Su Qingning unconditionally, the fire of jealousy in his mind was about to burst through his head.
But he pretended to be about to cry and said:
"Master Zhao, I was anxious just now, afraid that the murderer would escape justice and hurt more people, so I said the wrong thing."
"I grew up with my sister, and I know that she is a calculating person. Yesterday, Mr. Zhang had a conflict with the Xiao family, and today she was poisoned."
"So I think it's very strange that Mr. Zhang was poisoned. I suspect it's not as simple as being bitten by a poisonous insect."
The concubines of the Su family were all people who wanted to climb up and trample on the weak. Seeing Su Qingrou dealing with them and hating Su Qingning, they wanted to step on her a few times. They all echoed:
"Yes, Master! It's really unfair to say that we abused Miss Su in the past! Miss Su is so powerful that we can't even hide from her, how dare we abuse her?!"
"Rou'er has been smart since she was young, and she plays very close to Miss Su. It's normal for her to make such a guess!"
Several women in the inner house were apparently often involved in dirty water splashing. After a few words, many onlookers began to question Su Qingning.
Su Qingning was too lazy to argue with them, so she said impatiently:
"If you want to prove whether there is poison or not, it's easy. Just ask the doctor to check Zhang Da's bowl again!"
When Su Qingrou was having a big fight last night, she must have had a brief discussion with Zhang Da about how to deal with the Xiao family.
So after seeing Zhang Da's various behaviors after being poisoned, I was so sure that there was something wrong with that bowl of porridge.
However, even if she guessed that Zhang Da had tampered with the bowl of porridge and used it to frame the Xiao family, it was useless.
Now everyone had finished breakfast, and the table was full of empty porridge bowls. Su Qingning had already taken advantage of the space to swap Zhang Da's bowl.
Even if you find ten more doctors, they won't be able to find out that the bowl is poisonous.
On the other side, when Su Qingrou heard Su Qingning ask the doctor to come, she immediately changed her face to a confident expression.
She knew that Zhang Da had a kind of medicine that looked scary but was actually not very harmful. Since he wanted to frame the Xiao family, Zhang Da must have put that kind of medicine in his bowl.
Daqian, it is a serious crime for an exile to murder an official. If it is proven, he will be beaten with at least 50 lashes.
As long as the medical officer finds drug powder in Zhang Da's porridge bowl given by Xiao's family, Su Qingning will definitely be doomed this time!
Su Qingrou couldn't help laughing wildly.
It was as if he had seen Su Qingning being beaten up, injured all over, unable to move, abandoned by the Xiao family, and living a life worse than his own!
Soon, the doctor was called in.
Seeing Su Qingrou's confident look, everyone in the Su family became interested. They leaned forward and waited with wide eyes to see Su Qingning make a fool of herself.
Seeing that the Su family members were all waiting to be caught in a trap, the female members of the Xiao family looked at Su Qingning with some worry.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell today's incident was a setup targeting Su Qingning.
Although they all knew that the third daughter-in-law was very capable, it would not be easy to escape from the trap if they fell into it in public.
Su Qingning cast a nonchalant look at everyone, drank a sip of tea Zhao Jinhai quietly asked him to bring over, and didn't take Su Qingrou's trouble seriously at all.
Seeing that she looked relaxed, the Xiao family let her go.
Every moment of rest during the exile was a bonus. Everyone followed her example and sat quietly on a chair to rest.
Although Xiao Huaishuo sat next to Su Qingning from beginning to end and faced other attacks with her, he always had a confident expression.
I don’t know what medicine this guy took wrongly. It seems that he believes in his innocence more than Su Qingning!
Soon, Doctor Lin finished examining the bowl that Su Qingning had replaced, and said impatiently:
"I've already told you guys! Zhang Da was poisoned by a poisonous ant biting his neck. It has nothing to do with what he ate or touched!"
"Isn't this just an ordinary empty bowl? You made me run all the way here just for this?!"
"There are so many patients waiting there! How can we have the time to deal with your unreasonable behavior?!"
These words were like a blow to the head, shattering the tragic scene of Su Qingning that Su Qingrou had just imagined.
Her eyes were wide open like a pair of bells. She looked like she couldn't take the blow anymore and was about to collapse.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There must be something wrong with this porridge!"
"I know, there must be something wrong with this doctor! Su Qingning must have paid him to confuse the facts!"
Seeing her destroying his reputation in front of him, Doctor Lin was so angry that he jumped up and down.
"Hey! You little bastard! Lin Yongmao has been practicing medicine for 20 years and has never made a wrong diagnosis. Is it worth it to take that little money and ruin your reputation?!"
"Look at you, little girl. I'm afraid you've eaten too much feces. You're splashing dirty water all over yourself so early in the morning?!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was all shocked:
"It's Lin Yongmao, the 'Master of Medicine'! He is a master of medicine and well-known in the world. Who would have thought that he would be on duty at this small post station?!"
"It is said that a wealthy businessman once offered a fortune to ask a skilled doctor to make poison, but he refused because he did not want to hurt himself. If a doctor does not even look down on a fortune, how could he ruin his reputation for a few bucks?!"
The old man was so angry that he announced his name, and public opinion immediately turned to his side.
Su Qingrou was accused by everyone and was frightened. She just kept muttering to herself:
"Impossible... There must be something wrong with the porridge... Impossible..."
Lin Yongmao is a decent person, and he cannot stand seeing such scheming people, so he said coldly:
"Humph! Are you so sure that the porridge is poisonous?"
"Could it be that you are the one who got the poison? But for some reason, you yourself don't know why you didn't get any poison, and now you look so unbelievable?!"
