The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2639: Chapter 123: The Truth Revealed

"These damned birds." Concubine Sun was terribly frustrated, waving her hands wildly.

But the bird seemed to confront her deliberately, first causing havoc around her head and then tearing at her body.

And Xiaobai alone was bad enough, but as soon as she shouted, Dabai also came in.

"Li Luru, get your birds away." Others were unaware of the birds’ origins, but Li Mengru knew full well.

Her mother-in-law was being teased by two birds, making her furious. What kind of bad luck did she have today to encounter this?

"Second Miss, what’s the rush?" Xiaohong bowed to everyone in the room and said with a smile, "Dabai and Xiaobai are looking for the person who poisoned the Old Master."

"Nonsense, can birds solve cases now? If that’s the case, what’s the point of having officials?" Li Mengru said, "Just let the birds be officials then."

Li Luru heard this and smiled with an enigmatic expression.

The two birds ignored everyone else but focused solely on Concubine Sun, indicating the poison was on her. Li Luru signaled Xiaohong, who immediately lunged at Concubine Sun.

While struggling with Concubine Sun, Xiaohong explained to everyone, "Dabai and Xiaobai are intelligent birds. They previously helped the prince find criminals. Earlier, the Third Miss asked the doctor for poison and let Xiaobai smell it. Xiaobai can definitely trace the killer. Now, Xiaobai is only focusing on Concubine Sun, suggesting the poison is on her."

Concubine Feng’s eyes shifted, and she quickly said, "If that’s the case, I’ll help."

She thought it might not be certain that the birds could find evidence now, but she could win favor with the lady and the Third Miss in this way, benefiting her life in the future.

Unlike Concubine Sun and Concubine Liu, who had children, she had none. Once the Old Master’s affairs were settled, it’s likely the lady would dismiss the concubines, leaving her with nowhere to go.

It was better to use this opportunity to win the lady’s approval and ensure she could stay in the manor later.

With Concubine Feng’s involvement, the other two concubines stepped forward to help, and soon Concubine Sun was stripped down to her inner garments, at which point a packet of medicine fell from her waist.

Li Luru swiftly grabbed it, knocking down Li Mengru, who also tried to snatch it.

Seeing this, Xiaohong quickly said, "I’ll call the doctor over."

Yang Aoshuang caught sight of the medicine packet, her eyes flickered, and her gaze swept across Concubine Sun’s face. It was the same medicine packet; truly, this vile woman was ruthless in her means for Li Mengru, that little wench.

The doctor arrived, opened the medicine packet, sniffed it briefly, and nodded, "This is indeed the medicine. It’s quite potent, and combined with the rich fragrance, it’s deadly within one hour."

"We truly troubled you today, Doctor." Yang Aoshuang turned and said, "Have someone kindly escort the doctor out. As for today’s events, we hope the doctor won’t discuss them outside."

The doctor hurriedly said, "Madam, rest assured, I came here today merely to settle old accounts, coincidentally encountered the funeral at your manor. I bid farewell."

Once the doctor left, Yang Aoshuang’s expression changed immediately, approaching Concubine Sun, "Bang..."

"You wretch, the Old Master has treated you well all these years, yet you dare to harm him for that unfilial daughter, you’ve truly lost all decency."

Seeing her scheme exposed, Concubine Sun did not bother to hide anything.
