"Of course, we still have to find out the truth of the matter." Old Madam Li added, "Although there are only a few of us in the mansion, we can't wrongly accuse the young lady."
"Besides, Jiang Yi is your wife. Even though mother doesn't like her, she doesn't want you to be sad. We must investigate thoroughly and not give the murderer another chance to strike again."
Old Madam Li looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
Li Huaqing's suspicion of her was reduced by a little.
As Mrs. Li said, we must get to the bottom of it.
Jiang Yi was lucky this time, but what about next time?
"Mother, you are absolutely right. I will investigate this thoroughly. I am sorry for disturbing your peace today. I will come and have dinner with you again tonight."
Madam Li's heart was beating very fast, but her face was very calm. "Why are we talking about this between mother and son? Go and do your thing."
Only after Li Huaqing left did Old Madam Li breathe a sigh of relief.
But soon, her heart began to tighten again.
Damn Jiang Yi is so lucky that he didn't even take that medicine.
What would she do if her son found out?
Although she believed that her son would not attack her for Jiang Yi, her biological mother, but it would still make her son think that she was a cruel person, which would damage the relationship between them.
I just feel that Jiang Yi really has a bad influence on them mother and son.
She also felt that Hua Qing would not find out about her, after all, Cui Liu was the one who handled this matter from beginning to end.
But I still feel uneasy.
Old Madam Li locked herself in the room, as if she could escape from everything.
Li Huaqing set out to investigate the matter. He first asked the doctor to check the medicine, and naturally found rat poison in it.
After investigating the palace where rat poison was being sold, they found Cui Liu.
Cui Liu was so scared that she told Li Huaqing everything without Li Huaqing asking her.
"I have no grudge against the Madam. It really wasn't me who did it, it was the Madam."
Li Huaqing's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He quickly opened the door and looked outside. Seeing that there was no one around, he closed the door heavily.
"The old lady said there were mice in her room, and they kept disturbing her sleep at night, so she asked me to buy this medicine."
"It was the old lady who asked me to bring this medicine to her room."
Li Huaqing looked at her coldly, and Cui Liu was also provoked a little, so she did not hide or avoid.
Finally, Li Huaqing asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
Cui Liu was stunned for a moment.
There was no one around when Mrs. Li spoke to her, so of course she had no evidence.
Cui Liu became even more panicked and her speech became incoherent.
"But, but I have absolutely no reason to harm Madam."
Li Huaqing said coolly: "Mother just said that you are interested in me."
Cui Liu's face was filled with shock. "How is that possible? I'm not without a husband. I already have two sons..."
Her expression didn't seem fake.
Li Huaqing was still looking at her.
In order to prove herself, Cui Liu told Li Huaqing about the previous incident in which Madam Li had looked for Madam Jiang.
"Although I don't know what the old lady and Madam Jiang said in the room at that time, it must have been related to Madam."
"Later, after Madam Jiang went out, she ran into Madam and exchanged a few words with her. After that, Madam found me and told me to tell her if the old lady wanted to harm her."
"At that time, I was very surprised. How could the old lady harm the lady? Until today, the old lady asked me to bring her medicine..."
"Madam can testify on this matter for this servant."
"As for motivation, the old lady must have a stronger motivation than this servant."
"If I knew that working for you would lead to such a lawsuit, I would never come here even if I died of poverty."
"I'm not that young girl who fantasizes about hooking up with the master and flying up to the tree and becoming a phoenix. Besides, Master Li, you are not that high-ranking either!"
Cui Liu felt that she had been wronged but had no place to complain.
Li Huaqing's face was gloomy and uncertain, but he finally made up his mind.
He took out a silver note from the room and pushed it in front of Cui Liu.
Cui Liu was still lamenting her miserable fate, but when she saw the money, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Li Huaqing held his forehead and said wearily, "Take this money and leave here."
Cui Liu immediately understood that Li Huaqing believed him.
So he immediately put the banknote away.
"Then I'll leave now." She walked to the door and suddenly turned back. "Do you really want to hide this from Madam? Madam already knows about it. If the old lady wants to harm Madam again, what will you do?"
"As a woman myself, I only feel pity for Madam, but I hope you can show some mercy to Madam."
After saying this, Cui Liu left.
Li Huaqing naturally knew what Cui Liu said.
But he just felt very embarrassed. He couldn't let him hand over his own mother to the authorities.
But at the same time, he didn't know how to face Jiang Yi.
After sitting in the room for a while, Li Huaqing finally left.
