The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2638: Chapter 122: Xiaobai Lends a Hand

"You wretched woman, how dare you touch me?"

"You dead woman, get away from me."

"..."

Li Luru glanced back at her and thought, this person is probably too dumb from being provoked.

Making such a fuss, what good can she possibly get?

Li Luru left the courtyard, and at this time, the doctor was waiting in the side hall.

"Third Miss!"

"..." Li Luru waved her hand, not bothering with politeness, glanced at Xiaohong. Xiaohong then asked, "Doctor He, you previously said our Old Master was fed a suffocating poison, has anyone from our household bought such medicine from you?"

Doctor He quickly replied, "No, I would definitely remember if they had. Of course, someone might have come to purchase it when I wasn’t there."

Li Luru nodded, and Xiaohong asked again, "Then, Doctor He, do you have that kind of medicine here? Can you let our Miss take a look?"

Doctor He did not refuse, "I have it, but I didn’t bring it. I would need someone to fetch it from the clinic."

"Alright, then please hurry and bring it," she added.

Doctor He saw the two were keen on it, so he didn’t delay and immediately sent his boy back.

One hour later, the boy returned, and Li Luru called her Xiaobai back.

After Xiaobai sniffed the medicine powder, it darted out.

Li Luru and Xiaohong followed it outside, only to see Xiaobai head straight for Li Mengru’s courtyard.

At this moment, the courtyard was quiet, with some sitting and others standing.

The situation seemed to be at an impasse.

Concubine Sun admitted she bought the laxative because Li Mengru wanted to lose weight. She hadn’t wanted to admit it earlier, fearing the mistress’s blame.

Because, as a girl, taking medicines randomly can harm one’s body and raise suspicion.

As for the medicine in Li Luru’s courtyard, Nanny Yang said it was she who placed it there. The reason being Concubine Sun had directed her, thus both medicine bags had explanations.

But here comes the problem, putting aside the origin of the medicine, just discussing its purpose—it wouldn’t be life-threatening. So we’re back to the question, who exactly administered the harmful poison?

Yang Aoshuang naturally suspected Concubine Sun, because just now Nanny Yang also said that after Concubine Sun left the room earlier, Nanny Yang followed and saw Concubine Sun place the medicine bag in Li Luru’s room.

And Nanny Yang, being familiar with the medicine bag, took out the medicine she bought recently, exchanged it, and put it in Li Mengru’s room.

Knowing this, it wasn’t hard to deduce based on the actions of the mother and daughter today.

But no one expected that the medicine bag contained laxatives.

"Madam, I bought this laxative, but I don’t admit to placing medicine in the Third Miss’s room as Nanny Yang claims. I only bought one bag, if I had placed it, there wouldn’t be any medicine bag with the Second Miss."

"I said earlier..." Nanny Yang attempted to explain, but Yang Aoshuang interrupted her, feeling no point in discussing it further.

Even if Concubine Sun admitted to placing the laxative, it wasn’t to harm anyone’s life. The Old Master just passed away, and she couldn’t punish this disruptive mother and daughter over this.

Of course, if it were life-threatening medicine, it would be different. But no evidence pointed that way, so the most urgent matter now was the Old Master’s funeral.

Just as she was thinking of settling the day’s matters, Xiaobai flew in.

"Get away, get away from me!" Xiaobai suddenly started disrupting around Concubine Sun.
