Chapter 1445 Meeting Tan Cheng
Shu Yu lowered her eyes and pondered. They were all dead. The Tan family only traced the matter back to the kitchen manager.
So who exactly wants to harm Young Master Tan? And why would they want to harm him?
The poison he was poisoned with was the same as that of the Xiao family. The Xiao family was poisoned by the Second Prince. Was the poison on Young Master Tan a coincidence, or was it also related to the Second Prince?
After much deliberation, Shu Yu decided that she should meet with this young master Tan when she escorted A Ning back to the Tan family tomorrow. Perhaps because it concerned the Second Prince, she was somewhat concerned.
Ah Ning was already asleep. Shu Yu tucked the thin blanket around her before closing his eyes as well.
The next morning, Shu Yu led A Ning to the Tan family.
A Ning was a familiar face at the Tan family's residence, and she didn't need to announce her presence when entering or leaving. The gatekeeper also recognized Shu Yu and let the sisters in directly.
Mr. Tan was not home, but Mrs. Tan hurriedly came out to greet him when she heard that Shu Yu had arrived.
Perhaps it's because good news makes people feel better, Mrs. Tan's spirits are much better now than last time, and even the wrinkles between her brows have been smoothed out quite a bit.
She was delighted to see Shu Yu. "I heard from A Ning that Lu Xiangjun's fiancé, Young Master Meng, has passed the imperial examination and become a Xiucai. Congratulations to Lu Xiangjun!"
"Mrs. Tan, you're too kind. Your son is recovering well, and I must congratulate you too. After all your hardships, good fortune is sure to follow."
Mrs. Tan laughed heartily, saying, "Congratulations to you too!"
As they talked, they slowly walked to the house where Young Master Tan lived.
Dr. Zhao lives here. Every morning, he comes to take Tan's pulse and examine him, then adjusts his medicinal diet according to his condition. If there's nothing seriously wrong, he'll go out to attend to his own business and return in the evening.
He was writing a prescription at that moment, and Young Master Tan was sitting opposite him.
The last time I saw him, Young Master Tan's face was thin, he was breathing heavily but not deeply, and he was in a daze. Let alone getting out of bed to walk or sit, he even had difficulty opening his eyes.
He is still very thin, but he no longer has that lingering deathly aura.
Mrs. Tan introduced him, "Acheng, this is Lu Xiangjun, whom I told you about, and A Ning's older sister."
Tan Cheng immediately stood up and bowed to her. "So it's Lady Lu. My apologies. My mother told me that if it weren't for Lady Lu's explanation and guarantee, my parents would have misunderstood Doctor Zhao, and I would have missed this opportunity to save my life. I thank you for your help, Lady Lu."
“Young Master Tan, there’s no need for that. The person who saved you was my master. I only wanted to clear my master’s name back then.”
Shu Yu returned the greeting and naturally sat down to the side.
Tan Cheng was somewhat surprised. It was one thing for Lu Xiangjun to come to his courtyard, but now it seemed like he was going to stay for a long time.
Tan Cheng was a man, and Shu Yu was an unmarried woman. She wasn't a doctor, so it was already strange that she came to a man's residence. He was a little confused and could only look at Mrs. Tan.
The latter quickly said, "Lu Xiangjun, I have something I'd like to ask you."
Tan Cheng understood, "Please ask, Mr. Lu, I will answer to the best of my knowledge."
Shu Yu pursed her lips. "It's like this. I want to know if Young Master Tan has any suspects in mind regarding the person who poisoned him."
Tan Cheng was taken aback.
Shu Yu then explained, "To be honest, my younger sister went out yesterday and encountered some thugs. Although those thugs were thugs from the gambling den, and they were ostensibly after Doctor Xie, I still felt uneasy, fearing that they might also be after my younger sister."
