Cui Liu came to Jiang Yi with the bowl of nourishing soup.
After hearing Cui Liu's purpose, Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows and tested the poison with a golden hairpin.
After seeing the golden hairpin that turned black due to the effect of the medicine, Cui Liu's face turned pale instantly.
"Madam, I don't know..."
Cui Liu was afraid that Jiang Yi would misunderstand her, but then she thought about what Jiang Yi had said to her before, and immediately understood.
"It's the old lady..."
"Yes, she wants to use you to kill me. If I drink this bowl of medicine and die, you will become the scapegoat."
Cui Liu shuddered violently. She never expected that Madam Li would be so cruel.
She has been working diligently for the past three years, but Old Madam Li actually wanted to frame her.
"So what should we do now?"
Cui Liu absolutely did not dare to serve beside Old Madam Li.
Perhaps because he had anticipated this beforehand, Jiang Yi was very calm at this moment.
She looked at the bowl of medicine and said quietly, "Then let's report it to the police."
"Report to the police?" Cui Liu didn't expect Jiang Yi to be so decisive. After all, Madam Li was her mother-in-law. If she reported to the police, Madam Li would suffer a loss. She was afraid that Jiang Yi and Li Huaqing would find it difficult to maintain their relationship as husband and wife.
Just at this moment, Li Hua woke up and walked out of the inner room.
"What are you reporting to the authorities? Report to the authorities."
He thought Jiang Yi was joking with Cui Liu.
Jiang Yi looked at Li Huaqing, still holding on to a glimmer of hope, so he pointed at the medicine and told him the whole story.
Li Huaqing's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Impossible." He looked at the medicine and said irritably, "Mother would never do such a thing as murdering someone."
Jiang Yi asked him, "So you think I framed her?"
"No, there may be a misunderstanding." Li Huaqing tried hard to recall the loopholes in this matter, and finally turned his gaze to Cui Liu.
Cui Liu was terrified. "This matter has nothing to do with me. I just came here to deliver the medicine as ordered."
Jiang Yi also looked at him coldly.
Li Huaqing was very annoyed.
He didn't understand why other families were so harmonious, but his family had so many problems.
He picked up the medicine and said, "I'll go ask my mother."
He left in a hurry.
Jiang Yi was waiting there.
Even though she knew that she would not get a good result, she just waited.
But my heart felt unprecedented calmness and rationality.
All she wanted in her life was to survive.
If her husband cannot provide her with a place to settle down and even live, then she will have no choice but to leave.
Li Huaqing walked very fast. When he pushed open the door of Mrs. Li's room, Mrs. Li was chanting in front of the Buddha statue. When she saw the medicine in Li Huaqing's hand, her eyelids twitched.
Not wanting Li Huaqing to notice that something was wrong with him, she forced a smile and said, "I didn't go on duty today."
"I have some things to ask mother." Li Huaqing put the bowl of medicine on the table.
"This medicine..."
Before Li Huaqing could finish his question, Madam Li spoke in surprise, "This is the tonic I just asked Cui Liu to bring to Jiang Yi. Why didn't Jiang Yi drink it?"
Looking at the calm look of Mrs. Li, Li Huaqing felt more and more that Jiang Yi was overthinking it.
"No, there's something wrong with this medicine." Li Huaqing said, "It seems to be poisonous."
"It's poisonous." Madam Li pretended to be startled. "How could it be poisonous? This is a tonic I made for her myself. I hope you can have a child soon."
Mrs. Li took the medicine and wanted to taste it.
Li Huaqing quickly stopped her.
"What are you doing?" Li Huaqing snatched the bowl and asked.
"She must be suspicious of me, thinking I'm out to harm her. It's no wonder, after all, I was really harsh to her in the past." Old Madam Li wiped her tears and said, "But I was harsh to her for your own good. I just wanted her to hold up your reputation. I really didn't..."
She looked at Li Huaqing.
"You don't doubt your mother either."
Li Huaqing said hurriedly, "Of course I wouldn't doubt my mother."
Madam Li was touched and said, "That's good. Don't you know your mother yet? Your father passed away early, and I raised you single-handedly. I suffered so much for you in the past, just hoping that you would get better. Knowing that you love her, how could I bear to make her sad?"
Thinking back on everything that Old Madam Li had done for him, Li Huaqing's heart softened even more.
But the medicine does contain decoction.
Li Huaqing was very confused and prepared to investigate thoroughly.
At this time, Mrs. Li said again: "Maybe it is Cui Liu."
"Cui Liu?" Li Huaqing was also very confused. "This person has no conflicts with Jiang Yi."
"How come she's gone?" Old Madam Li said, "I noticed earlier. She likes you. She was extremely excited when you dared to come back."
"It's perfectly normal to harbor hatred towards Jiang Yi because of love."
