"What nonsense are you talking about?" Eldest Young Master Li was almost infuriated to death by her. What on earth is wrong with this girl? Why is she picking on Third Sister?
"I’m not talking nonsense, it’s her, it must be her." Li Mengru seemed excited as if she had found a solution.
Eldest Young Master Li ignored her wild remarks and just took the doctor inside. Everyone else followed into the inner room, but at this moment, no one noticed that Concubine Sun and Nanny Yang had slipped out.
The doctor examined Li Shan from head to toe and also inspected the bowl placed aside. He finally concluded that Li Shan had indeed died an unnatural death.
"Then how exactly did my father die?"
The doctor looked around the room again and finally said, "See the pot of orchids? The fragrance of the orchids is strong, and combined with the drug that causes difficulty in breathing, it eventually led to suffocation and death."
"How can there be drugs causing suffocation in Father’s bowl?" Li Mengru questioned again, "Someone must have secretly fed Father the drug."
Yang Aoshuang, rejuvenated at this point, quickly called out, "Bring in the servant who attended to the Old Master."
Seeing that there was going to be an interrogation, the doctor took his leave.
In a moment, the servant was dragged in.
"You wretched thing, confess honestly, how come there was a drug causing suffocation in the Old Master’s medicine?"
"Mistress, spare me, Mistress, spare me," the servant kept kowtowing, "I don’t know what was in the medicine either, all of the Old Master’s medicine was fetched from the kitchen by me."
Seeing this, Third Young Master Li waved his hand, "Go and bring the people from the kitchen as well."
After a while, the people from the kitchen came, including those who served Li Shan, all were interrogated and beaten with a rod, but none confessed, nor did anyone know the situation.
Li Mengru spoke again at this moment, "If you really want to find out who killed Father, it’s actually quite simple, there’s no need to interrogate like this."
Yang Aoshuang’s heart started pounding as soon as she heard her speak.
"Second Miss, if you have a way, speak quickly," Concubine Feng said, "The sooner we find the murderer, the sooner Old Master can be laid to rest."
Li Mengru gave her an appreciative look, "The pot of flowers in Father’s room has been there for more than half a year, so it’s certainly not the issue. It must be the medicine. Less than four hours have passed since Father’s incident, and the person who administered the drug surely bought more than just a little, there should be leftovers. Our household is currently locked down, that person certainly had no chance to dispose of the drug, so I suggest searching the rooms, the drug package must still be in her room."
"Alright, let’s search," Third Young Master Li also wanted to know who harmed his father.
No matter how bad his father was, he was still family, and someone wanted him dead, he was definitely going to avenge him.
"Then start with my room," Concubine Feng once again declared her innocence, she wasn’t afraid of the search because she hadn’t poisoned anyone.
So they left a few people to watch over Li Shan’s body and headed to Concubine Feng’s room first.
A few hefty servant women were turning the room inside out, leaving no stone unturned.
But the result was obvious, there was nothing!
Later, unbeknownst to anyone, Concubine Sun suggested they search her room. Originally, Li Luru was very suspicious of these mother and daughter because what Xiaohong said matched her own thoughts, and she was very suspicious that Li Mengru and Concubine Sun might have killed Li Shan out of jealousy.
Of course, Li Mengru might not have the heart to do it, as she was his own daughter, but Concubine Sun was different.
Yet, nothing was found in Concubine Sun’s room either, which surprised her greatly.
