Chapter 280 The Princess's Poisoning
Aunt Zhou immediately stepped forward and said, "Doctor Xu, all the medicinal herbs have been used to decoct the medicine, so the remaining dregs are useless."
Dr. Xu didn't ask any further questions when he saw that they were unwilling to take it out.
But Du Wanchun vaguely sensed something; Aunt Zhou not only trusted her exceptionally, but also protected her exceptionally well.
"Wanchun," Aunt Zhou called to her with a smile as she turned around, "Leave this place to us. You go back inside and thank the children."
"Yes, Mother." Du Wanchun turned and went into the house.
At this moment, Aunt Wang and Aunt Du also arrived.
Upon hearing about Madam Wu's poisoning, everyone was astonished.
Aunt Du frantically searched the house, calling out, "Where's Mianmian? Where are Yi'er and Yu'er?"
"These three babies are still breastfeeding, are they poisoned along with them?"
Du Wanchun walked to her side and said, "Auntie, they're fine. Mianmian and the others just happened to be weaned these past few days."
Aunt Du clutched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "My goodness, thank goodness everyone's alright. What would we have done if Mianmian and the others had been hurt too!"
Du Wanchun's face gradually darkened as she listened. Fortunately, Mianmian and the others had been weaned these past few days. If they hadn't, these three little ones would have suffered the same fate.
Du's eldest aunt looked up, her face full of resentment, and said, "Who poisoned me? Do you know?"
Du Wanchun repeated Wu Niangzi's original words.
Du's eldest aunt stamped her foot as she listened, "That vicious woman, she didn't even spare the children! And Wu Niangzi too, how could you drink something given to you by a stranger when you're out and about?! Ugh!"
Having grown up in Changliu Village, Wu Niangzi knew mostly good people like Du Wanchun.
I've probably never seen anyone as vicious as that woman before.
Du Wanchun said slowly, "After this experience, she will definitely be more careful in the future."
Aunt Du nodded slightly and looked into the house. "Luckily you were here, otherwise this mother and son would have been pitiful!"
After checking on Madam Wu and her child inside the house, Aunt Wang came out, her face also filled with anger. "Who is that woman?! We can't let her get away like that! We two defenseless women and children poisoned her! It's utterly depraved!"
Aunt Du chimed in, "Don't worry, God will deal with this kind of person!"
Du Wanchun nodded in strong agreement.
In an inn in Cheng'an County, a young woman dressed in pink and wearing a silver forehead ornament.
She asked the servant beside her, "Well, is that woman dead or not?"
The servant knelt on one knee. "Princess, I heard that the woman and child were saved by the doctor!"
"What?! She's alive?!" The woman sat up abruptly. "This woman is incredibly lucky; she's actually alive!"
The servant slowly stood up, bowed, and said, "Princess, what should we do next?"
The woman held a whip in her hand and revealed a sinister smile. "She's just a lowly peasant woman. If she doesn't die this time, I'll poison her a second time. Once she's dead, Brother Xun will naturally come home obediently."
The servant bowed and said, "Very well, I will go and prepare the poison."
The woman looked up and said, "Don't prepare ordinary poisons. She'll be fooled once and won't fall for it a second time. Just make something colorless and odorless and secretly put it in the Zhou family's food."
The servant hesitated, saying, "Princess, if this is put into the Zhou family's food, then the Zhou family..."
The woman gave a mocking smile. "The Zhou family are just merchants from Xuan Yue Guo. They were poisoned to death, so what? Besides, they actually managed to revive that woman. They deserved it."
She looked down at the whip in her hand as she spoke.
The servant then asked, "And what about His Highness?"
The woman said slowly, "Just leave the antidote for him, and don't worry about the others."
