Xiao Ke pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Third Miss, our young lady has been very worried about you these past few days while you were bedridden. The poisoning must have nothing to do with her."
Wei Shuwan repeated coldly, "You're all done here, you can leave now."
However, Cai Die was somewhat moved by Xiao Ke's words, as she had never had a maid in her hometown. Xiao Ke was assigned to her by the second branch of the family after she came to the Wei family with her mother. She originally thought that Xiao Ke was loyal to the second branch and to Wei Shuwan, but she did not expect that Xiao Ke was quite loyal to her mistress.
Just as Cai Die was secretly delighted, Wei Shuwan showed no sign of giving up. She turned to Wei Wenshi and said, "Grandmother, since we can't find it in the open, it's probably buried underground."
"So you're planning to dig three feet into the ground, aren't you?" Wei Wenshi finally lost her temper and slammed her cane three times.
Whether intimidated by her grandmother's imposing manner or genuinely unable to think of a feasible solution, Wei Shuwan lowered her head and remained silent.

Wei Shuwan suddenly looked up at Li Qingchen. Wei Wenshi also suddenly remembered that there was such a celestial being sitting at the next table, and couldn't help but feel a chill, recalling the three times she had leaned on the ground earlier, which was quite presumptuous!
Li Qingchen showed no sign of taking offense, speaking in a gentle and polite tone: "The Jinwu Street Guard has dogs that are particularly good at searching for objects by scent. I can immediately send someone to borrow one to help Third Sister find that sachet."
Upon hearing this, Cai Die, who had been pretending to be nonchalant, suddenly became somewhat listless, but her grandmother's words quickly cheered her up:
"Young Prince, I have heard that when a dog helps find something, it must first smell the same scent."
Li Qingchen smiled and said, "Madam, you need not worry about that. Before Third Madam fell into a coma, she left some medicinal powder in her nail crevices. It was based on this that I had the divine physician prepare the antidote."
Lady Wei was slightly taken aback at first, but quickly became puzzled: "How did the young prince know?"
Li Qingchen was slightly taken aback, and accidentally let it slip...
However, he immediately changed his tune: "Oh, it was discovered when the physician from the Sheng family came to check on it."
