Song Lin walked up to Jiang Wan, his face serious.
"As you've probably heard, my great-grandmother is critically ill, most likely poisoned. Today I led a search of the entire General's mansion, but we couldn't find the culprit."
"They were only driven out when they searched Xingzhiyuan."
"Now that we have everyone here, please make a statement: can someone be allowed to investigate the Xingzhi Academy?"
Jiang Wan ignored him and turned to the imperial physician: "May I ask, Your Excellency, when was Grandmother poisoned, and what kind of poison was she poisoned with?"
"This morning," the leading imperial physician replied, "Judging from the symptoms... it looks like arsenic."
Jiang Wan's eyes flashed: "Arsenic is extremely poisonous."
The imperial physician sighed and nodded, saying, "Fortunately, the amount ingested by the matriarch was not large. I have already given her charcoal ash and an emetic, hoping that we can save her life in time."
Jiang Wan then asked, "Before Grandmother was poisoned, did she...?"
"alright."
Song Lin abruptly interrupted her.
"Madam Jiang, the imperial physicians will handle the detoxification, so you don't need to worry about it! The most important thing right now is to find the culprit who poisoned us. If this person is allowed to move freely, won't Luhetang be in constant danger?"
Jiang Wan glanced at him: "What do you want to do?"
“Then you don’t need to worry about that.” Song Lin smiled but didn’t. “If you are innocent, why would you be afraid of being investigated? My people are efficient. Let them go to Xingzhi Courtyard and if there is nothing unusual, they will naturally clear your name.”
“Okay,” Jiang Wan said. “I will go with you.”
"No need. To prove your innocence, you'd better not leave here from now on."
Song Lin walked to the table and leisurely poured himself a cup of tea.
"Granny Wu, what do you think?"
Granny Wu bowed her head and said, "The old lady has entrusted the young master with the management of the General's Mansion, so naturally he will follow your orders in everything."
Song Lin was very satisfied and gave his subordinates a wink.
"Go to Xingzhiyuan! Remember, search every room and every person inside thoroughly!"
"Anyone who dares to resist will be punished the same as the one who poisoned them!"
The servant answered loudly, picked up his tools, and headed towards Xingzhi Courtyard.
Their aggressive demeanor made it seem less like a search and more like they were about to start a brawl.
Jiang Wan stared at their retreating figures, a silent smile playing on her lips.
