Seeing Su Ziyang's confident expression, Su Ruojin's eyes flashed with a smile. "Oh, why are you so sure, Second Brother?"
"It was quite a coincidence that Riko appeared outside your house that day."
Su Ruojin looked at Su Ziyang without saying a word, her eyes asking a question.
Su Ziyang touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, "After you left, Li Zi came to ask me to teach her the Great Chu language. We've been...we've been together the whole time. I can guarantee she's never left the villa."
Even though it's in Yamato, this still counts as a man and a woman alone together, no wonder Su Ziyang felt a little embarrassed.
However, this also shows that Riko never left the villa, so naturally she couldn't have sent the items out.
"Oh~~~~~" Su Ruojin looked at Su Ziyang with a half-smile, "Why didn't Li Zi look for someone else, but specifically went to find Second Brother?"
Su Ziyang hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "Xiao Jin, Li Zi and I are completely innocent. Originally, it would have been better for Shen Yu to teach her, but Shen Yu had to accompany Mu Yao, and she didn't dare to come to you and the Prince, so she could only come to me."
"Oh————" Su Ruojin laughed. Seeing her second brother's nervous look, she stopped teasing him.
“Second Brother, regardless of whether it’s Li Zi or not, it has to be her now,” Xiao Yanchu added.
“You mean…” Su Ziyang understood.
Seeing Su Ziyang's expression, Su Ruojin knew that her second brother understood, and nodded, "Second brother, we are still not sure if Li Zi is that person, so you have to keep an eye on things secretly. But the antidote has indeed been tampered with."
That day, Su Ruojin left after developing the antidote. When she returned, she found that the medicine bottle on the table had been touched.
However, this was something she deliberately placed there.
Looking back on that day, not many people knew that she had developed the antidote, and when she was talking to Xiao Yanchu about it, Li Zi happened to appear outside the door.
How could she not suspect Riko? She secretly began to have Riko investigated.
Su Ziyang had been busy outside, but when he returned and found out, he rushed over to Su Ruojin to talk about it, wanting to prove Li Zi's innocence.
"Hmm, no problem. Hey, why did Deyi Kangren have to send someone to steal the antidote? Wouldn't it have been better to just have someone come to you and get it?" Su Ziyang remarked.
If you ask Xiao Jin for medicine, Xiao Jin has to guarantee its effectiveness. Isn't that better than stealing it?
"Those in positions of power are often suspicious, especially since Deyi Kangren was poisoned."
"He came directly to me because he was worried that I might have tampered with the antidote, and he was also afraid that I would use it to threaten him or make unreasonable demands," Su Ruojin analyzed.
He stole the medicine himself to cure the poison, so that worry was no longer an issue.
Su Ziyang smiled helplessly, "You're really judging others by your own petty standards. Everyone in this world strives to be superior, but those who are superior don't necessarily have fewer troubles than ordinary people."
Those who are superior to others possess more resources and power than ordinary people, and therefore, more people want them dead.
"By the way, Xiao Jin, can the stolen poison really cure De Yi Kang Ren's poison?" Su Ziyang asked curiously. The Xiao Jin he knew wouldn't be so careless.
"Yes," Su Ruojin affirmed.
"Uh, so we're just going to leave it at that?" Su Ziyang felt a bit aggrieved. His little sister had worked so hard to develop something, and now it was just going to fall into that guy's lap.
"It can detoxify, but not completely. The stolen antidote is only the first course of treatment, which can remove most of the toxins, but some residual toxins will be forced into the bone marrow by this antidote."
If the toxins are not completely eliminated, the condition will recur after a period of time, and the rebound will be even more severe.
Su Ziyang slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's right, this is exactly my Xiaojin's style!"
Su Ruojin glanced at Su Ziyang, unable to tell whether her second brother was praising her or insulting her.
"So what should we do next?" Su Ziyang asked.
"Second brother, keep an eye on Li Zi secretly. Her appearance is too coincidental."
Although Riko's reasons were all plausible, and the secret guards had investigated and confirmed that Riko was not lying.
Su Ruojin had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She could only ask Su Ziyang to keep an eye on things for now, as it was always better to be careful.
"Alright, leave it to me, don't worry. But Xiao Jin, after spending these past few days together, I don't think Li Zi is a scheming person."
