"If this is the case, Wu Xiang is highly suspicious." Yan Jinglan said.
"Right!"
Qin Lian gritted her teeth, "I only remembered this on the way! Now the doctor has said that it is the poison of heartbroken grass. Wu Xiang pretends to be sick in the room every day and does not come out. Her maid has to go to the medicine hall from time to time to say Maybe they secretly asked the medicine hall to prepare heartbroken grass for her."
If Wu Xiang really asked the medicine hall to secretly prepare it, no one else would know.
"Thank you, Miss Qin. I will investigate this matter." Yan Jinglan cupped her hands and said to Chu Yan, "Brother, can you help me lead the way? I want to see where the well is."
"Of course, I'm going to take Doctor Wu to have a look."
Chu Yan nodded, made a gesture of invitation to Doctor Wu, and took Yan Jinglan out.
Seeing Chu Yan help handle the matter, Su Liuye breathed a sigh of relief, and the pain in his body surged again.
"Madam, please rest for a while." Granny Duan helped her lie down. "It will take some time for the antidote pills that Doctor Wu gave you to take effect. You are so weak now that it is not convenient to go out. There are things outside. Leave it to me and Miss Qin."
"Yes, A Liu, you need to have a good rest now." Qin Lian looked worried, "Grandma Duan and I will appease the diners outside, so just have a good rest."
"Then...okay."
Su Liuye sighed.
She knew very well that in this situation, as the shopkeeper of Cyclamen, she had to step in and deal with it, but her body just couldn't hold it anymore.
She felt uncomfortable after standing outside for a while and almost fainted. If she fainted in front of the diners, everyone would be even more frightened.
"If something happens outside, please remember to wake me up."
"Okay, Aliu, rest assured."
Qin Lian helped her cover the quilt.
After being poisoned, Su Liuye felt weak and indescribable pain and discomfort. After lying down, she fell asleep quickly.
Qin Lian and Granny Duan stayed with her in the room for a while, and then went out quietly when they saw that she was fine.
The medicine boy brought by Doctor Wu was treating the diners outside. Many people were able to sit up and rest after taking the medicine. Only the child was still unconscious, and the woman beside him kept wiping tears.
Seeing the tragic situation in front of her, Qin Lian was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to go up to Wu Xiang to settle the score, Granny Duan stopped her, "Miss Qin, don't be impulsive!"
"Grandma Duan, you must have guessed that Wu Xiang did it!" Qin Lian said angrily, "Look at her, such a big thing happened in the restaurant and she didn't even come out to take a look, she must have something going on in her heart!"
"Girl, this matter can only be left to Mr. Yan and Mr. Chu." Granny Duan said earnestly, "Don't say that we don't have evidence in our hands. Even if we do, Wu Xiang can hand it over. Since Yan is from the capital, , it’s natural to investigate these cases with ease.”
"this……"
Qin Lian's eyes flickered, and she felt that what Granny Duan said made sense.
Everything now is her guess. If she alerts the enemy, she will destroy the evidence.
"Miss Qin, let's not get involved in this matter. You can follow me to the kitchen to cook more mung bean soup. Doctor Wu also said that there are not many toxins in the well water, and mung bean soup can detoxify." Granny Duan said.
"OK!"
Qin Lian hurried over.
Because of what happened early this morning, the restaurant was unable to open. The waiters and cooks in the restaurant all gathered in the kitchen and whispered with fear on their faces.
Seeing Qin Lian and Granny Duan coming, they quickly gathered around and asked what happened.
"Don't worry, everyone, I have already invited Mr. Yan from the capital, and things will come to light soon." Qin Lian said loudly, "Take out all the mung beans in the kitchen, let's make more mung bean soup. "
"……All right."
Everyone looked at each other for a while, but they had no choice but to obey the instructions and go and move out the mung beans.
The kitchen quickly became busy.
Next to the well outside, Chu Yan and Yan Jinglan were watching Doctor Wu fetch a bucket of water from the well and put the silver needle in it.
Within a moment, the silver needle turned black.
Doctor Wu touched his beard and said, "The source of the poison is indeed here. Brother Chu, Mr. Yan, I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to check on the diners."
"Thank you, Doctor Wu." Chu Yan cupped his hands and said.
After Doctor Wu left, Yan Jinglan was silent for a moment, then suddenly walked up to Chu Yan, bowed her hands and said, "Chu——"
"No."
Chu Yan raised his hand to interrupt, "I am just a hunter in Zhoujia Village now."
Yan Jinglan frowned, stopped discussing other things, and looked up at the surrounding walls.
The fence in Cyclamen's backyard is very high, so it's not easy for outsiders to get in, but it's not impossible.
He looked at the location of Wu Xiang's room again, his eyes darkened, "Chu, Chu——"
"Just call me Chu Yan."
"I'm offended." Yan Jinglan cupped her hands and said, "Chu Yan, just now Miss Qin told me that you, shopkeeper Su and Wu Xiang have a personal grudge. What is the specific matter?"
"It's not a personal grudge. What Wu Xiang thinks has nothing to do with me. But her maid does come in and out of the medicine hall from time to time these days."
"So, I'm going to search her room."
"Okay, let Qin Lian take you there."
After all, Chu Yan is a man and it is not convenient for him to enter Wu Xiang's room.
"Excuse me."
"Um."
Chu Yan nodded and went to the kitchen to bring Qin Lian over.
Knowing that she was going to search Wu Xiang's room, Qin Lian was very motivated and took him there immediately.
Wu Xiang and the two maids were in the room. When they heard that her room was going to be searched, Wu Xiang looked extremely ugly and asked Shao Lan and the others to close the door.
"Ruyland, what on earth did you put in the well? Why are people outside foaming at the mouth? Aren't those crotons?"
Wu Xiang was so anxious that he was sweating all over.
She didn't dare to go out early this morning because she was afraid that she would be found out.
Ruilan knelt on the ground with a pale face. She was trembling as she listened to the wailing outside. "Miss, I-I didn't put Croton into the well. I-I didn't dare."
"What!?"
Wu Xiang slammed the table angrily, but the next second, she looked outside the door in horror, fearing that Qin Lian was still staring at her.
After making sure there was no one outside the door, she yelled in a low voice, "Didn't I ask you to pour the things in? Ruilan, how brave are you to disobey me?"
As she said this, she pinched Ruilan.
Ruilan was too painful to scream, and tears kept pouring into her eyes.
"Miss, don't be angry."
Shaolan followed and knelt on the ground, "Wouldn't it be better if Ruilan didn't take action? Now that things are getting serious, Qin Lian even invited the arrester over. If anything is found out, we are afraid..."
Shaolan didn't dare to say the rest.
So many diners outside have been poisoned. If they are involved, it will be a serious crime of beheading!
