Chapter 2637: Chapter 121: Laxative
Everyone turned their heads.
Li Mengru saw the item, and her face turned drastically pale, "Where did you get that? You wretched girl, how dare you frame me!"
Concubine Sun murmured to herself upon seeing this, "This is impossible..."
Li Luru stood beside her, and upon hearing the muttering, her nerves twitched, so it’s really this mother and daughter!
The item in the girl’s hand was none other than a medicine packet, exactly the same as the one found in Li Luru’s room.
"What’s going on here?" Eldest Young Madam Li couldn’t help but ask, "Why is this in both Second Sister’s and Third Sister’s rooms?"
"Yes, what exactly is going on?" Concubine Feng glanced at the Li sisters, this was quite intriguing. Earlier, seeing Concubine Sun’s arrogance, she thought for sure Li Mengru had successfully framed Li Luru, but now what’s the situation? Is it neither Li Mengru nor Li Luru, but someone else?
Concubine Feng scanned everyone in the room, but just from their expressions, she couldn’t tell; everyone seemed genuinely shocked.
"This must be Third Miss framing Second Miss." Concubine Sun suddenly said, "It must be, Second Miss has no reason to harm the Old Master."
Eldest Young Madam Li glared at her, "Concubine Sun, that’s not correct. We don’t even know what’s inside, how can you say who’s framing who, or who’s harming who?"
Then she turned her head again, "Mother, perhaps we need to let the doctor examine it before drawing conclusions!"
"Hmm!"
After a while, someone reported from outside, saying the doctor had arrived, so they invited the doctor in. It’s definitely medicine, but what kind, they had no idea.
During the doctor’s examination, the room was silent. Li Luru could clearly feel the piercing gaze from Li Mengru and unhesitantly glared back. The mutual sparks of discontent in their eyes grew ever brighter.
"Madam Li!" It was still the doctor from before who said, "Neither of these packets contain a drug that causes suffocation."
"What’s inside then?" Yang Aoshuang asked.
"Both packets contain medicine that induces diarrhea."
No one noticed, but Concubine Sun’s face had turned pale upon hearing this.
"Indeed, it’s diarrhea medicine." After a pause, they heard the doctor continue, "I remember five days ago, a woman claiming to be one of Concubine Sun’s attendants came to the pharmacy to get this medicine."
"You old fool!" Concubine Sun shouted fiercely, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"I am not speaking nonsense." The doctor, a man of some renown in the town, replied, "I remember everyone who has gotten medicine from my pharmacy in the past ten days."
At this point, he glanced at Nanny Yang. He recalled she had also been to the pharmacy, but he wasn’t foolish; seeing the chaos in the Li Family, he chose not to mention it.
"You..."
"Enough!" Yang Aoshuang interrupted her, "Please have some tea with the doctor and stay for a while, as we may need to trouble you again shortly."
Li Luru thought for a moment and followed them.
"Where are you going?" In the current circumstance, Li Mengru was uneasy if Li Luru wasn’t nearby.
Seeing this, Li Luru glanced at Xiaohong, who immediately brought paper and pen. Li Luru wrote, "I want to ask the doctor a few questions."
Yang Aoshuang waved her hand, "Go ahead."
"I’ll go with you!"
"Sit down!" Yang Aoshuang signaled to the nannies on both sides, and they immediately stepped forward to restrain Li Mengru.
"What are you doing?" Seeing this, Li Mengru suddenly became frantic.
