"Old lady!"

Li Gu saw the fire from afar and was so shocked that he shouted loudly and waved his hand to signal the people behind him to put out the fire and save people.

He rushed into the room and saw Hua Yuanzhao standing at the door carrying the old lady on his back. He breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

Although he had temporarily gone to inspect elsewhere at Madam Han's command, if something happened to the old lady, I'm afraid the prime minister would not give him a chance to explain.

When Mrs. Han heard Li Gu's voice, the hand holding the knife under her sleeve trembled. She took a deep breath as if resigned to her fate and put the knife back.

It’s all fate!

It seems that her mother's life is a little tougher than hers.

…

After Prime Minister Hua arrived, he scolded Li Gu and others. Li Gu and others dared not say anything but secretly remembered Madam Han who had sent them away.

Fortunately, people arrived in time and the fire did not spread, but the Fu Shou Tang could no longer be lived in.

To Hua Yuanzhao's surprise, Prime Minister Hua actually decided to send the old lady to Linyuan Garden.

Aunt Su was so shocked after hearing what Prime Minister Hua said that her whole body froze. She quickly spoke up to stop him, "This... Zhao'er's yard has been uninhabited for a long time. Why don't we send the old lady to the guest house first..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Prime Minister Hua's face turn pale, and quickly changed her words: "Or we can go to Shan'er's yard."

Prime Minister Hua looked at her meaningfully and still insisted on his own opinion.

No one had lived in Linyuan Garden for some time. The herbs in the yard grew wildly, and at first glance the mess was simply horrible.

The fallen leaves in the yard were cleared away, and new bedding and furnishings were replaced in the house.

Hua Yuanzhao looked at Aunt Su in surprise. This lady was really quick. She managed to send people to clean up the place in such a short time.

It seems that she needs to replace the lock of Linyuanyuan with a stronger one!

Old Madam Hua fell into a coma again before she arrived here. This time, Prime Minister Hua did not leave. He stayed by the old madam's bedside all night without taking off his clothes.

The old lady woke up slowly when it was bright. She tilted her head to look at Prime Minister Hua who was lying on the bed. After a long time, she raised her hand and stroked his hair with difficulty.

Prime Minister Hua was awakened and looked at his mother's kind face, unable to speak for a long time.

"I can be considered to have died once..." Old Madam Hua spoke with difficulty, her voice unclear and hoarse due to lack of water.

"It can be considered a disaster..."

When Prime Minister Hua saw her like this, his heart ached.

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Prime Minister Hua comforted her, "Mother, you have survived this great disaster, and you will surely have good fortune in the future..."

Madam Hua laughed and said self-deprecatingly: "At my age... I don't have much time left to live..."

"Mu'er... I haven't seen you get married and have children..." Old Madam Hua spoke with difficulty: "You are at this age, and you don't have a wife or a legitimate child. I can't rest in peace even if I die..."

Prime Minister Hua felt a pang of pain in his heart and couldn't help but think of his dead wife.

After so many years, he still couldn't forget Sun Si's quiet and deep eyes, as if she had never cared about the mundane world.

"Mu'er..." Old Madam Hua grabbed his sleeve and growled at the top of her lungs.

Prime Minister Hua suddenly came back to his senses, and the excitement that those eyes brought to him suddenly disappeared.

"Son understands..." Prime Minister Hua said painfully, "Son will marry as soon as possible... Marry a wife who is of equal status and will not bring disgrace to the Hua family..."

Only then did Old Madam Hua nod contentedly, close her eyes and lean back on the pillow to rest.

"Mother, do you still remember how you were poisoned?" Prime Minister Hua calmed himself and asked.

Mrs. Han, who came in with the medicine, stared at Mrs. Hua nervously, but Mrs. Hua did not speak for a long time.

Just when Prime Minister Hua thought she had fallen asleep again, Mrs. Hua said slowly, "I don't remember."

After a slight pause, she slowly said, "I smelled a strange fragrance, and then I saw hallucinations. I was so panicked that I bumped into the pillar."

Hua Yuanzhao frowned - this was obviously a lie!

The Nanzhao hallucinogenic drug Huangliang that the thief used to commit crimes recently has a distinct pungent smell of gasoline. It is impossible that it only has an aroma!

Moreover, judging from the old lady's physical condition, if she was drugged by the hallucinogenic drug, she would probably be paralyzed on the ground and unable to move. How could she crash into the pillar by herself?

Who is she trying to protect by saying this?

Hua Yuanzhao's thoughts moved slightly, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Madam Han.

Could it be that she had murdered the old lady?

Mrs. Han had a complicated expression. She took a deep breath to calm herself down before walking forward with the bowl of medicine.

Facing Madam Hua's sharp gaze, Madam Han said with gritted teeth: "Mother, can you drink this medicine first?"

She paused and added, "It's the prescription Zhao'er wrote last night."

Prime Minister Hua frowned slightly and looked at Madam Han in surprise, as if he didn't understand why she suddenly emphasized such a small matter.

Madam Hua closed her eyes and sat up under the care of her children. She did not take the medicine bowl, but said slowly, "Let the younger generation handle this kind of thing... Where's Zhao'er?"

Hua Yuanzhao silently stepped forward to take the bowl of medicine, tasted it to test the temperature, and fed it to Old Madam Hua spoonfully after making sure it was correct.

After taking a bowl of medicine, Madam Hua felt a little better. She looked up at the two people guarding the bed and said, "Okay, go do what you need to do. It's enough for me to have Zhao'er take care of my old bones."

Hua Yuanzhao's eyelids twitched, and he wondered if he was being blackmailed.

Prime Minister Hua was also helpless and gave a few more instructions before leaving.

Li Gu, who was guarding outside, stepped forward and whispered, "Master, we found it."

Prime Minister Hua was slightly startled. He glanced inside the room and motioned Li Gu to go out before talking.

But Li Gu stood still and said in a low voice: "It's related to... Miss..."

Prime Minister Hua was slightly startled and stared at Li Gu.

They were separated from the house by only a screen, and the words from outside drifted into the inner room. Mrs. Han, who had just walked out, turned pale.

Madam Hua's voice sounded, hoarse and stern: "Say it right here!"

Aunt Su came with Hua Yuanshan and asked, pretending to be ignorant: "What clues did you find?"

Doctor Li followed behind Li Gu, and after receiving a hint from Aunt Su, he spoke directly: "The fire in the old lady's room was strange. After checking one by one, I found that the camellia in the old lady's room was stained with hallucinogenic powder."

Seeing this, Li Gu had no choice but to wave his hand and order someone to bring up the gardener who was responsible for selecting flowers for the old lady's room.

The gardener had been locked up in the woodshed for half the night. When he was brought out, he was frightened and terrified, and he knelt on the ground trembling.

Before anyone could ask, he started to speak: "My Lord, please understand! I know nothing!"

"Yes, Miss! Miss said that the medicine is good for health! I just sprinkled the medicine on the flowers!"

"I really didn't know that the eldest lady would harm the old lady!"
