[Chapter 267: Quack Doctor]
When Huo Qingyun heard this, the expression on his face froze instantly, "How is this possible? Nian Nian is only thirteen years old, who would hurt her?"
Ni Lu sneered, "Believe it or not, but this is the fact. If someone didn't do it on purpose, how could Huo Nian accidentally take the incompatible medicine? Isn't the truth behind this worth investigating?"
Unexpectedly, Huo Nian suddenly vomited blood because he took incompatible drugs. Lin Yin and Huo Jingze looked at each other, and saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes.
Who is so cruel that he wants to harm Huo Nian?
Or maybe, he wanted to harm Huo Nian and put the blame on Lin Yin?
No matter what the reason is, the means are too vicious and heinous, and they must be uncovered. Otherwise, this cancer will remain in the Huo family like a knife hanging over their heads, and no one knows who will be poisoned next time.
Huo Jingze was affectionate and solemn, his voice became deeper, "We must investigate thoroughly. Anyone who dares to stir up trouble in the Huo family must not be let off easily."
…
All the servants related to Huo Nian were left in the living room. All the medicinal materials were placed on the table, as well as the medicine jars used to make the medicine. There was also a medicine bowl with leftover medicine juice in it, which had been sent for testing by Huo Jingze.
Jiang Yirou arrived late after hearing the news. She held Huo Jingze's hand with a worried look on her face, "Is Nian Nian okay?"
Huo Jingze calmly pulled his hand away and said indifferently, "We are out of danger for the time being."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Jiang Yirou's eyes, but she quickly regained her concerned look and turned to look at Lin Yin.
"You are still young, and you will have many opportunities to become famous in the future. It is better to leave Nian Nian to Elder Ni for treatment. Nian Nian's foundation is not good, and I am afraid she can't stand the hardship."
Lin Yin paused while checking the herbs and met Jiang Yirou's gaze with a frank expression and a slightly cold voice.
"You are playing tricks on me by saying that I am not good enough in martial arts. Are you using Huo Nian as a guinea pig just to become famous?"
Jiang Yirou blinked innocently and explained, "That's not what I meant. I just think that Mr. Ni is experienced and skilled in medicine. It would be safer to leave Nian Nian to him to avoid any accidents."
"Nian Nian's vomiting blood has nothing to do with Lin Yin." Huo Jingze frowned and looked at Jiang Yirou fiercely. "Nian Nian vomited blood because she took drugs that counteracted her. It's obvious that someone is secretly plotting this. It's best to keep your mouth shut before you find out the truth. Don't slander others at will."
Jiang Yirou's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect that even though Huo Nian almost died, Huo Jingze was still so determined to protect Lin Yin, without any doubt or blame.
She forced a smile and said, "So that's how it is. I misunderstood. I'm sorry, Lin Yin. You won't hold it against me, right?"
Lin Yin was busy checking the medicine jars and didn't have the mood to argue with her, so she didn't answer.
Jiang Yirou was ignored and her face looked ugly for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
The medicinal materials and medicine jars have been checked and there are no problems.
The rest are the relevant servants.
Huo Jingze glanced at the servants standing in a row in front of him with a sharp gaze, and a cold voice came out of his throat with irresistible majesty.
"Tell me, who gave Miss the incompatible drugs? If you confess voluntarily, I can give you a lighter sentence."
The servants all lowered their heads and remained silent, no one dared to speak.
Huo Jingze sneered, "If we can't find out today, all of you will be suspects. No one will escape and you will all go to jail."
He stood up, walked slowly, and stopped in front of an older servant. "Auntie Li, you have been in the Huo family for many years, you should know my methods."
Today's medicine was prepared by Li Ma.
Li Ma shuddered, "Master, it really wasn't me. How could I harm the young lady? I have no motive at all!"
"Heh." Huo Jingze sneered, not knowing whether he believed it or not. Then he swept his cold eyes to the others, "I'll give you one last chance. Take the initiative to admit that I will make a new appointment. Otherwise, don't blame me for not cherishing our friendship."
Still no one admitted it, and everyone cried out that they were innocent.
Everyone can give reasons why they are not the murderer.
After half an hour of investigation, there was nothing to be gained.
Huo Qingyun couldn't bear it any longer and said angrily, "Alright, let's wait until the results of the drugs sent for testing come out. It's still unclear whether he took drugs that counteracted the drug."
The previous external voice is that it is suspected that this is just an excuse made by Ni Lu to help Lin Yin to exonerate himself.
Huo Jingze frowned, "Dad, don't you know Elder Ni's medical skills and character? He would never speak nonsense."
Huo Qingyun snorted coldly, "That may not be the case. Who knows if there is something fishy going on here."
After all, Lin Yin is someone's favorite disciple. If the news of the failed treatment gets out, it will definitely affect Lin Yin's reputation. It is not impossible for Ni Lu, as a master, to help cover it up.
"My master and I are upright and honest, and we would never deliberately make up lies." Lin Yin couldn't tolerate anyone slandering her master like this, and said in a slightly cold tone, "Please be careful with your words and don't throw dirty water at will."
Jiang Yirou helped to speak, "Yes, before the truth comes out, let's remain objective and not make random guesses."
The conversation between the several people was heard by Ni Lu who came down from upstairs. His face darkened and he said, "I, Ni Lu, have been practicing medicine for many years, relying on my integrity and conscience. How can I allow you to slander me like this!"
Huo Qingyun was speechless for a moment, looking embarrassed.
"She is my disciple, and I know her character and medical skills best. This time, it is clear that someone is secretly plotting something bad. Instead of finding the real culprit, you are making random guesses here. It is really ridiculous!"
He grabbed Lin Yin's wrist and turned to leave. "The Huo family is really a mess. Come back to Jishidiang with me!"
"Mr. Ni, the remaining medicine Nian Nian drank has been sent for testing. If it is really a drug incompatibility, I will definitely find the real culprit and clear Lin Yin's name."
As soon as Huo Jingze finished speaking, Ni Lu paused and looked back at him coldly, "When the truth comes out, I hope to receive an apology from your Huo family, not only to me, but also to Lin Yin."
Who was the one who apologized? Of course it was Huo Qingyun.
Huo Qingyun's face didn't look good, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if this matter has nothing to do with Lin Yin, I will definitely apologize to her."
Ni Lu took Lin Yin and left the Huo family without looking back.
…
The news still couldn't be concealed.
The next day, Xu Zhenguo, Xu Yilian and Xu Lan all came to the Huo family.
The results of the drugs sent for testing have come out and will be delivered to the Huo family soon, so Lin Yin is also there.
As soon as Xu Lan saw Lin Yin, she rushed over and raised her hand high, wanting to hit him. "You quack, I told you you're unreliable. Nian Nian was almost killed by you!"
"Calm down." Xu Yilian grabbed her wrist. "The truth is still unknown, don't go crazy."
"Sister, that's your biological daughter. She was almost killed by Lin Yin, but you were still able to remain calm. Are you still her biological mother?"
