Chapter 191 Lin Huo is poisoned
"The third brother is a fool, but even if he's foolish, he's seen through it after so many times. I thought that the eldest brother treated the third wife this way. At least I have always assisted him, so he would still remember the old relationship. I didn't expect... That's all. We'll talk about this later."
After saying that, the couple saw Song Yong coming out and hurried to greet him.
After everyone had left, the Song Ci family waited anxiously, and then they saw Lin Huo slowly walking out, supporting someone. When they looked closely, they saw that the person he was carrying was Song Lan.
Qiao Xianglan's heart was about to jump out of her chest. She stepped down from the carriage and shouted, "Lan'er, what happened to Lan'er?"
Lin Huo's face turned pale, and he looked very unwell. "Auntie, Song Lan has caught a cold. He was fine a few days ago, but I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for the last day. But he's not seriously injured. Let's see a doctor later. Just get some rest."
Qiao Xianglan wiped away her tears and said, "Mr. Lin, thank you so much."
Song Lao San took Song Lan from Lin Huo's hands and said, "Mr. Lin, I cannot thank you enough for taking care of my son. I will definitely come to thank you later."
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Lin Huo to react.
Qiao Xianglan, worried about her son, hurried to catch up. Song Ci, a medical practitioner, could tell that her brother was fine, while Lin Huo's condition seemed more serious.
"You don't look well."
Lin Huo looked at Song Ci and forced a smile, "He must have had a stomachache."
"A stomachache?" Song Ci frowned. "They were just white flour buns and other things. How could they get sick?"
Lin Huo scratched his head and said, "I don't know either." He was in good health and had never had diarrhea before, but during this exam, he had diarrhea for six out of nine days. If he hadn't been in good health and hadn't persevered, the exam would probably have been delayed.
Song Ci didn't say much, but reached out and took his hand, feeling his pulse with her fingers.
Lin Huo was startled, and when he came to his senses he felt his heart beating wildly. He knew Song Ci just wanted to take his pulse and see the situation, but his heartbeat was so uncontrollable.
"You're poisoned." Song Ci frowned. "You should have kept the item with you. How could you be poisoned?"
"The examiner asked us halfway through whether we wanted to heat it up, so I handed it in." How can you compare cold steamed buns with hot steamed buns? Most people would spend an extra moment asking about heating the steamed buns. I'm afraid that's when something was tampered with.
But who on earth was so bold as to tamper with the food in a place like the examination hall? And who had targeted Lin Huo specifically?
Song Ci frowned. "It's not a serious poison, it just causes diarrhea. I'm afraid this person doesn't want you to do well on the exam. Think carefully about who would do this."
Lin Huo lowered his hands and thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Miss Song, for telling me. I've already thought of someone. I'll go back and discuss it with Master."
"It's okay, just go ahead."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lin Huo, "Song Ci."
"Um?"
Lin Huo smiled faintly in the sunlight, with two faint dimples on his face. "I have a good feeling about this exam."
She was a little puzzled, but she simply said, "You are quite knowledgeable, and this is the result of your many years of study. Doctor Lin is looking forward to your early success in the imperial examination."
"No, I'm doing this not only for myself and Dad, but also for you." Lin Huo suddenly said in a deep voice, "I don't know what you want to do, but no matter what you want to do, the higher I climb, the more I can help you. I want to stand by your side..."
After he finished speaking, his ears turned red, he smiled, and turned and left.
Song Ci was stunned for a moment, and when she returned to the carriage, Lin Huo's words were still echoing in her ears.
Song Lan regained consciousness and opened his tired eyes. What he saw was Song Ci's stunned face. "Have you lost your soul?"
Everyone reacted, "You're awake!"
Song Lao San smiled and handed over a cup of tea, "Hurry and drink some water."
"Thank you, Dad."
Song Lan drank it all in one gulp, then smiled and said, "Dad, this time during the exam, your son saw Song Han."
This put Song Han in the stinky cell again, and when he told everyone about vomiting three times a day, everyone laughed.
"He's just unlucky. How come he got the bad number?"
Song Lan curled his lips and said, "My son thinks that evil will be punished." After saying that, he hurried to check his father's expression, fearing that he would be unhappy.
Noticing his son's gaze, Song Lao San waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, your father has figured it out." He felt a little guilty. He was afraid that not only his daughter, but also his son and daughter-in-law had long seen the true face of the Song family. Only he still cared about the brotherhood.
"Dad, you really... figured it out." Song Lan just felt incredible.
If we talk about the most filial son in Beijing, his father will be the first and no one will be second.
How could such a stubborn person figure things out one day?
Song Lan's gaze was too straightforward, causing Song Lao San to glare at him fiercely, "Why, do you really think your father is a fool?"
Isn't it... just a fool?
But he smiled: "How could that be? Dad is the smartest."
No matter how Song Lao San thought about it, he felt that his son was insincere. He just coughed dryly and repeated to his son the plan he had told his daughter and wife in private.
"Dividing the family!" Song Lan's first reaction was disbelief. "Grandmother and my eldest and second uncles will definitely not agree."
Several people had thought about this. Song Ci smiled and said, "If we go straight to the point and say it directly, it will definitely not work. But what if we change the method and let the Song family take the initiative to get rid of us?"
Song Lan was very smart and quickly realized what her sister meant. She gave her a thumbs up and said, "Sister, you are really awesome."
Song Lao San, who was standing beside him, raised his hand and slapped his son on the head without any hesitation. "If you were smarter, would you need your sister to worry so much about the family?"
Song Lan covered his head and muttered to himself, what about himself? Isn’t Dad the same!
He didn't know what was going on with the third wife, but all the intelligence, steadiness, and talent were concentrated on the younger sister. He would occasionally think that if the younger sister wasn't a younger sister but a younger brother, he would have nothing to do with the third wife in the future.
He just followed his younger brother, eating and drinking well, and there was no need for him to go through the hard work of taking the imperial examination. His dream was to become a rich parasite.
How wonderful!
When they arrived at the Song family, the eldest wife was busy serving Song Han. Song Lan was fed a few pills by Song Ci on the way, and he was in good condition now. After washing and bathing, he lay on the soft bed and fell into a deep sleep.
In his dream, he became a rich man. He was always surrounded by people when he went out and was generous with his money. He had countless servants and maids at home, and his only responsibility every day was to eat, drink and have fun.
When I woke up the next day, there was saliva all over my pillow.
He had almost recovered, and during breakfast, Song Lao San asked him how he did in the exam.
Song Lan wasn't sure, but he felt he had tried his best this time, at least better than usual. However, the teacher said that one should be humble. After thinking for a moment, he said, "My son has tried his best."
