Chapter 504 Fruit Poison
"No one wanted to do this to you. It was you who refused to let yourself go from the beginning to the end."
Xu Miaomiao looked at the woman in front of her and continued, "At the beginning, Wei Wei persuaded you. The relationship between Liu Niang and Mr. Xu is stronger than gold. They have been through so many things together, how could they tolerate outsiders?
"I told you at the beginning that I would let Mr. Xu recognize you as his cousin, and you could still live in the Song Mansion safely, but you just didn't listen. You even went so far as to disappoint Liu Niang and drugged Mr. Xu. In the end, you achieved your goal, but is this the result you really wanted?"
Looking at the stunned woman on the bed, Xu Miaomiao didn't want to say more. She stood up and walked to the back: "Liu Juan, put away your cleverness. Your tricks are nothing to me. I'm warning you for the last time. My patience is limited. If you cause trouble for me again, I will certainly not persuade you properly again."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao turned and left.
Although Liu Juan was indeed wrong, Gu Yuanniang and Xu Qingshan still had to live their lives, and it was impossible for them to really stop associating with Madam Zhang. Based on this point, Xu Miaomiao could only endure it this time. However, if Liu Juan caused such trouble again, she would definitely not keep such a vicious person at home to harm the family.
After talking to Liu Juan, Xu Miaomiao simply ate a few bites of food before going back to her room to rest. Now, she hadn't been to the department store for a long time, but Yu Zhen and Yu Jie knew that he was busy, so they would send someone to report on the situation of the department store every day. After listening to Xiao Si's report, Xu Miaomiao leaned back in her chair and felt drowsy.
Just when her head was about to hit the table, a pair of big hands suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Miaomiao, smiling at her.
"You're so sleepy, why don't you go to bed?"
Xu Miaomiao yawned, stood up, looked at Song Wushao and responded: "After listening to Xiao Si's report about the department store, I didn't want to sleep. I wanted to wait for you, but I was too sleepy and accidentally fell asleep."
Song Wushao nodded and touched Xu Miaomiao's furry head: "Don't push yourself too hard, it's good to relax a little. I heard that something big happened in the mansion today?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded: "Yes, ever since Liu Juan came, there are always some small things coming up. This Liu Juan is really annoying."
When Song Wu Shao heard this, he nodded and kept every complaint of Xu Miaomiao in mind.
Xu Miaomiao immediately climbed onto Song Wushao's arm and lay in his arms, acting like a spoiled child: "It's getting late, let's pack up and go to bed early."
Song Wu Shao shook his head and said while leaning against her head, "In recent days, fruit poison has appeared in Bai County for no apparent reason. The county magistrate originally did not want to investigate further, but who knew that the fruit poison became more and more rampant and was transported from Bai County to the capital. Now, many people in the capital have been infected with the fruit poison, which is very scary. County magistrate Hu is now under great pressure from above and wants to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Xu Miaomiao was a little surprised to hear this. Fruit poison is similar to a stimulant. Once people take it, they will feel like they are in a dream and enter a phantom and cannot wake up. However, it is also addictive. After taking too much, the body will fester and die. But it is obvious that once people are addicted to fruit poison, it is very difficult to quit.
Xu Miaomiao's pupils trembled, and she looked at Song Wushao and immediately said, "County Magistrate Hu, you can't solve this matter yourself, so you push it onto you, right?"
Song Wushao remained silent. Magistrate Hu had no ambition to begin with, and he got the position through connections, so he became even more unscrupulous. If there was anything he couldn't solve himself, he would push it all to Song Wushao. But once there was a reward, all the credit would go to him alone. Xu Miaomiao had been impatient with him for a long time, but Song Wushao remained silent. He felt that it was nothing, and he didn't compete with Magistrate Hu.
Xu Miaomiao didn't say much.
"It's strange to say. This item is obviously only available in Liang Country, but now Liang Country and Nan Country are incompatible. In addition, the previous incident of Liang Country poisoning the fifth prince has been investigated more strictly. Every time food or other things appear in the show, they are strictly checked. How could there be fruit poison coming in?"
Song Wu Shao nodded: "This is also the most difficult point. Now we only know that they were transported from Bai County to the capital. Bai County is on the border and is the closest to Liang Country. If they want to enter the South Country, they must go to Bai County. But now, there are not many people coming and going in Bai County. However, those people appeared for no reason. It is really difficult to find the source of these fruit poisons."
Xu Miaomiao didn't hear this, she sighed, and clung to Song Wushao's arm: "Don't worry, there are a lot of people coming and going in the department store, I will definitely help you keep an eye out."
When Song Wu Shao heard this, he shook his head and refuted Xu Miaomiao, gently placing her hand on his own: "Don't get involved in this matter. The fruit poisoning is no small matter. I naturally acknowledge your ability and admire your wisdom and courage, but there are still certain risks. Leave such dangerous things to your husband, me."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao nodded and leaned in Song Wushao's arms.
A sleepless night.
Perhaps because she was worried about these things, Xu Miaomiao did not sleep well. She got up early and went to the department store. Song Weiwei, who had not been to the department store for a long time, simply left Erbao and Xiaobao to Gu Yuanniang and left with Xu Miaomiao.
As soon as she arrived at the department store, Xu Miaomiao saw Yu Zhen and Yu Jie had already opened the door of the department store, waiting for her to come. Yu Zhen immediately came up to her and said, "Auntie Xu, I wonder if you have taken good care of this dessert shop during the days you were away."
Yu Zhen paused and touched his head awkwardly. "It's just that maybe because the weather has turned cooler these past two days, fewer and fewer people have come to the dessert shop."
Xu Miaomiao didn't comment when she heard this: "It doesn't matter. Sugar soup is a seasonal food. It doesn't matter if there are fewer and fewer people. We can just put it out next year anyway."
When Song Weiwei heard this, she opened her eyes wide with curiosity and looked at the two of them: "What kind of sugar water is that? Bring me a bowl so I can taste it."
Yu Zhen smiled when he heard this, and immediately followed Song Weiwei outside, wanting to make her a bowl of sugar water to taste. Xu Miaomiao saw the two of them like this, smiled helplessly, and followed Yu Jie to the side to start dealing with the account books.
