Chapter 159: Poison in the Meal



[Mother, Chuqiu has put a chronic poison in the food, you can't eat it! ]

[Chronic poison will only harm your body if you take it once or twice. But if you take it every day, over time, you will die! ]

[Chu Qiu, this bad guy, wants to poison you and replace you as the mistress of the Marquis's house.]

[But mother clearly doesn't want to be the mistress, it's the big pig's hoof that's pestering you. She's so capable, why doesn't she poison Jiang Huaishu! ]

[Bad guys, the people in the Marquis' Mansion are all big bad guys! ]

Yun Wanrou's body stiffened and she secretly clenched her hands hidden under her sleeves.

Chu Qiu was so bold that she didn't hesitate to poison her just to become the mistress of the marquis's family!

Isn't she afraid of being discovered and detained by the government?

"Madam, what's wrong with the young lady? Is she hungry and wants to drink porridge?"

As soon as Wangshu finished speaking, Yangyang quickly shook his head.

She raised her hand and pointed to the food on the wooden table.

“Poison…poison!”

"Wangshu, go get my silver hairpin!"

Hearing this, Wangshu nodded slightly.

He turned around, took out a silver hairpin from the dressing table and handed it to Yun Wanrou.

Yun Wanrou took the hairpin and put one end into the millet porridge.

After a while, she picked up the silver hairpin again.

Seeing the silver hairpin turn black, Wangshu’s eyes widened in shock.

"The porridge was poisoned!"

Wangshu thought of Jianghuai Shu.

"The Marquis refused to agree to the divorce, but wanted to secretly poison you. Madam, you were married to him after all, how could he do this to you?"

"It's not him! He kept me here because he wanted to use the Grand Tutor's Mansion. If I die, it will be of no benefit to him at all."

Yun Wanrou shook her head and spoke with certainty.

Wangshu frowned, his eyes filled with confusion.

"If it's not the Marquis, then who could have poisoned him?"

Soon, she seemed to have thought of something and gritted her teeth in anger.

"It's Chu Qiu, it must be her! She is the Marquis's concubine, and she is the one who wants the Madam to die the most!"

Yun Wanrou nodded slightly and looked up to meet Wangshu's eyes.

"Wangshu, report to the police!"

Since Chu Qiu couldn't convince Jiang Huaishu to agree to divorce her, she was of no use to him.

Didn't she want to kill her? Then she would send her to the prison with her own hands.

She wanted to see if Jiang Huaishu could still protect her with all the evidence in front of him!

The government officials arrived soon.

Jiang Huaishu got the news and hurried out of the room.

Wangshu was seen walking towards Yun Wanrou's courtyard with two yamen runners and a doctor.

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up with him.

"Wangshu, what's going on?"

"My Lord, someone has poisoned Madam. Madam, please send me to report to the authorities and have the person who did the poisoning arrested!"

Wangshu met Jiang Huaishu's eyes, and there was a little more resentment in his eyes than before.

If Jiang Huaishu hadn't secretly kept a mistress and brought her into the Marquis's Mansion, how could the Madam have been put in danger?

Jiang Huaishu frowned slightly when he heard her words.

Soon, he thought of early autumn.

It must be because he disagreed with the divorce that she had evil thoughts.

But this is an internal matter of the Marquis' Mansion, and Yun Wanrou doesn't need to make a fuss about it to the government!

"There is a misunderstanding. Please go back!"

Jiang Huaishu blocked Wangshu and others' way and prevented them from going any further.

The two yamen runners looked at each other.

Without waiting for them to speak, Wangshu said, "My Lord, the poisoned porridge is still in the Madam's room.

Is it a misunderstanding? Let the two officers go over and take a look, and then we'll know."

“If I say this is a misunderstanding, then it is a misunderstanding.

The Marquis's own affairs should be resolved behind closed doors. There is no need to bring such a small matter to the government."

"My Lord, do you think my life and death is a trivial matter?"

Yun Wanrou's voice came slowly from behind.

Jiang Huaishu turned his head and met her cold and distant eyes.

He frowned, not liking the way she was looking at him.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard Yun Wanrou say, "My Lord doesn't care about my life or death, but I can care about it myself.

Today, I must investigate this matter thoroughly. If the Marquis wants to protect this person, then we will meet in court!"

"Arou, why have you become like this? You used to be so gentle, why are you so aggressive now?"

"Oh!"

Yun Wanrou was so angry that she laughed.

“Someone wanted to kill me, and I just wanted to find her out to protect myself.

In the eyes of the Marquis, this is aggressive?

Why don't you go find the person who poisoned you and tell her this?"

"I...I don't know who poisoned me, how can I find out?"

Jiang Huaishu looked away guiltily.

Yun Wanrou glanced at him and didn't believe what he said at all.

If Jiang Huaishu really didn't know who poisoned her food.

How could he stop the bailiffs and prevent them from tracking down the murderer?

If she hadn’t heard Yangyang’s thoughts just now.

She didn't even know that the people brought by Wangshu were stopped by Jiang Huaishu.

"Since the Marquis doesn't know who that person is, then let's hand it over to the government and let them investigate the matter thoroughly!"

As she spoke, Yun Wanrou moved aside to make way for the bailiffs and doctors.

The three men walked past Jiang Huaishu and walked quickly into the yard.

Jiang Huaishu frowned slightly when he saw that he couldn't stop them.

He waved to a servant who was passing by.

After whispering a few words to him, the servant nodded slightly and left quickly.

"Official, the food on the wooden table has been poisoned. Ask the doctor to test it and you will know if I am lying or not."

"Excuse me, doctor!"

The tall bailiff turned and looked at the doctor.

The doctor nodded slightly, took out a silver needle and put it into the porridge.

When I picked it up again, the silver needle had turned black.

He took the silver back, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then turned to look at the two yamen runners.

"The porridge was indeed poisoned. The taste of the poison was slightly sweet, very similar to the characteristics of a chronic poison.

The poisoned person will not feel any physical discomfort at first.

But if you take this poison every day, over time, your body will become weaker and weaker, and eventually you will die!"

[Not only that, people who are poisoned by this will feel similar to a cold when the poison attacks them.]

[If a person who was poisoned dies, people may mistakenly believe that he died of illness.]

[Chu Qiu spent a lot of money to find this medicine. She sold half of the jewelry Jiang Huaishu gave her.]

What a vicious heart!

If it weren't for Yangyang, she probably wouldn't know until her death that she was poisoned to death!

Yun Wanrou clenched her fists and trembled with anger.

She slowed down, calmed herself down, then turned to look at the bailiff.

"Sir, these meals were brought directly from the kitchen by my maid Wangshu.

Wangshu wouldn't poison someone, so the poison must have come from the kitchen.

Just go to the kitchen and ask around, and we'll find out who else has come into contact with the food!"
