Hu Mama was quite burly and strong, and Ye Qingxue was still deep in thought when she made her move.
Just as Ye Qingxue was about to be knocked to the ground by Hu Mama, Hu Mama suddenly stopped, stopping abruptly just a fist's distance away from her, as if she had been frozen in place by something.
"The one who killed your daughter is clearly yourself! Don't frame my mother!" It was Xiao Bao. He rushed over from behind and hugged Hu Mama's waist.
What! !
Everyone was shocked and turned to look at Hu Mama. She had killed her own daughter.
Ye Qingxue stared at her intently. Judging from her various reactions, it was indeed impossible to tell that she had killed her own daughter.
Granny Hu was stunned by this statement, her face turning pale. She then became angry, tried to push Xiao Bao away, and panted as she said:
"I only have this one daughter in my life, how could I kill her? If she were in danger, I would give my life for her. I will not kill her! I will not!"
Towards the end, it turned into a roar.
"If it wasn't you, then what were you hiding in your sleeve?" Xiao Bao held her tightly, refusing to let go no matter how much she struggled.
Hu Mama shuddered, her body slowly ceasing its struggle. Instead, she reached into her sleeve and pulled out a bottle about the size of a thumb.
Her hands were trembling, her body was trembling, she was shaking all over, and her face was completely bloodless.
Xiao Bao finally let go of her, and she turned around to look at him: "You mean there's poison in here?"
Xiao Bao said, "Of course, after taking this poison, one will definitely bleed from all seven orifices and die within two hours. The poison in your daughter's body is the one you have in your hand."
"No, impossible, impossible, this is impossible!" The "impossible" from Hu Mama's mouth grew louder and louder.
Then, as if she had thought of something, her voice lowered, almost as if she were murmuring: "She clearly told me that this medicine could increase the feeling of fullness, calm people down, reduce fear, and make them suffer less."
“I was afraid my daughter would be too scared to be locked up here and would have to go hungry, so I gave her this medicine. It couldn’t be poison, it couldn’t be.”
Ye Qingxue understood.
In other words, when she brought Hu Mama's relatives into Guanju Courtyard, it became known to others, including Hu Mama herself.
So someone gave Granny Hu a bottle of medicine and told her to feed it to her daughter. It would fill her stomach and calm her down, so she wouldn't be too scared and could just wait quietly for Granny Hu to come and save her.
But this bottle of medicine is poison.
"If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you." After saying that, Xiao Bao turned around and walked out. A little while later, he came back with a mouse.
He said, "Give all the medicine in your bottle to this rat."
The medicine was liquid. Granny Hu opened the cap and did as Xiao Bao said. After pouring it in, Xiao Bao threw the mouse on the ground.
The mouse had only run two steps when it collapsed and couldn't get up. Blood flowed from its seven orifices, and after struggling for a moment, it fell silent.
Everyone was startled; it was terrifying.
"Didn't you say that the effects of this medicine would take two hours to appear?" asked Granny Hu, her lips trembling.
Xiao Bao replied, "If the dosage is large enough, it can kill instantly. The amount of medicine that would kill your daughter two hours later could kill a mouse instantly. So, you poisoned your own daughter."
Granny Hu was struck dumb.
He staggered back two steps and then fell to the ground.
He was on the verge of collapse and going insane.
Ye Qingxue immediately squatted down and looked her straight in the eye: "The person who poisoned your daughter wasn't you, but the person who gave you this bottle of poison. She lied to you. Who was that person? Was it Old Madam Bao?"
These words seemed to inject a force into Granny Hu's body, and she burst into tears.
“I’ve been tricked! I’ve been tricked! This bottle of medicine was given to me by Grandma Bao. She said she got it from a highly virtuous monk and that with this medicine, my daughter wouldn’t go hungry or be afraid. She lied to me! The first time I saw my daughter, I secretly fed it to her when you weren’t looking!”
“I believe that she is a devout Buddhist and would not harm anyone. I believe that I am loyal to the Marquis’s mansion and heaven and earth can bear witness to it. I believe that she has no reason to kill my daughter, so I listened to her!”
Even now, Hu Mama still doesn't understand why the old lady wanted her to poison her own daughter.
"Why did she do this? Why?" Granny Hu cried out, "I only have this one daughter, and I cherish her like a precious jewel. Why did she do this?!"
