340 Poison Calamity
The news of Marquis Beining’s ministry’s incident quickly spread throughout the entire North Mountain City.
Yu Niang, her eldest son, and her eldest daughter-in-law, who had always been living glamorous lives, died at the sa ti overnight. There were also a group of maidservants who had been gotten rid of as well.
This wasn’t the end. Because of Yu Niang, the Yu family, which had reigned supre in North Mountain City all these years, lost its pillar of support and collapsed.
Overnight, the Yu family was ransacked and imprisoned. Not a single person in the entire family was spared.
!!
The reason for all of this was none other than that Madam Yu colluded with her maiden family to harm the prince for her own selfish desires. However, the fourth prince was benevolent and magnanimous, so on account of Marquis Beining’s ministry’s many generations of military exploits and because Marquis Beining had no idea about this sche, he only punished Marquis Beining and didn’t pursue responsibility with anyone else.
Those families who could survive in Cloud Mountain City weren’t fools.
What had happened that afternoon had already made everyone present wish they hadn’t seen it. Now that they weren’t implicated, how could anyone be stupid enough to cause trouble?
Everyone praised the fourth prince’s kindness and gentleness to brush over this matter.
Lin Suisui’s dical center was set to open on March 1st.
Since the dical center would open in half a month, she got busy.
Spring ca relatively late in the north. In March, only a little green could be seen on the branches and treetops. As Lin Suisui looked at Little White, who had rolled in from outside and was rushing towards her, she reached out helplessly and rubbed its huge head. “You’ve already grown up, so I can’t carry you anymore.”
Although she said that, Lin Suisui still squatted down and hugged Little White.
Little White whimpered in satisfaction and didn’t run around anymore. Instead, it lay quietly under the porch and basked in the sun.
Although it wasn’t completely an adult yet, its size wasn’t much different from that of an adult tiger. Now that it was bigger, it beca even more active. Every day, when it had nothing to do, it would run around the residence.
In order to make it easier to run around, Lu Ze set up a place in the backyard for it to practice hunting. Sotis, when Lu Ze was free, he would bring Little White to the surrounding forest and let it adapt to the wilderness.
Little White was no longer as weak as it used to be when it was young. Now, it was as strong as a calf.
The only thing that had not changed was that it still liked to cling to Lin Suisui. Other than chasing chickens and rabbits in the backyard, it liked to lie beside Lin Suisui for long periods at a ti.
Initially, when Little White ca over, those won who had never seen Little White before were terrified. However, after getting used to it, so bold ones even ca over to play with Little White.
Lin Suisui was sorting out dical books when Lu Ze got her a batch of things that looked out of print. Many of the prescriptions were things she had never seen before.
Therefore, whenever she was free, she would take out these books and flip through them. With sothing to keep her preoccupied, ti flew by.
It was unknown what thod Lu Ze and the others had used previously, but after the incident at Marquis Beining’s ministry, the fourth prince kept a low profile. There had been no news of him for more than half a month.
Lin Suisui was also happy that things were peaceful, so she didn’t intend to ask about this matter.
However, her plan was disrupted after she woke up from her afternoon nap.
“The old lady is very sick. She invited a few doctors, but they couldn’t discover anything.” Zhou Ningqian, who had co to visit, couldn’t hide her anxiety. “Actually, my husband told not to interfere in this matter.
I visited Old Madam yesterday as a formality, but I realized that sothing was wrong with Old Madam’s condition. She didn’t seem to be sick, but poisoned.”
Zhou Ningqian deliberated over her words carefully as she told Lin Suisui the purpose of her trip. “I wasn’t sure, so I went back and told my husband about this.
After thinking about it, my husband felt that sothing was wrong, so he asked to go out today and inform you with the pretext of getting dicine.”
Zhou Ningqian thought of the current situation in the residence. Actually, if possible, she didn’t want to trouble Lin Suisui. However, seeing how cautious her husband was, she felt that it wasn’t good to delay this matter, so she made the trip.
“When did these symptoms appear?” Lin Suisui knew that if not for the fact that sothing was fishy, Zhou Ningqian wouldn’t have co to look for her at this ti. Therefore, her expression turned serious.
“Ever since the last birthday banquet, the old madam hasn’t been in good spirits. Later on, after Yu Niang and the others were punished, the old madam was frightened and fell ill. Later on, she took dicine and her symptoms improved a little, but she’s still quite sickly.
In order to make the Old Madam happy, the Marquis arranged for soone to invite the opera troupe that the Old Madam liked to sing for her.
At first, Old Madam was happy, but for so reason, her health deteriorated day by day. Now, she can barely stay awake for two to four hours a day.”
Zhou Ningqian didn’t dare to hide anything and told Lin Suisui everything that had happened over the past few days in a low voice, “The reason I felt that she was poisoned was that when I went over that day, I happened to see the old lady drinking dicine.
Not only is the filth that the old lady vomited extrely slly, but it’s also black…”
Perhaps because she was pregnant, Zhou Ningqian couldn’t help but feel like vomiting at the ntion of this. After a while, she cald down and looked at Lin Suisui as she said, “I don’t know if my guess is right, but if she was really poisoned, who would poison the old lady in our residence?
She has been staying in Marquis Beining’s ministry all year round. Could it be that soone took revenge on her?”
“Are you talking about the troupe that perford the ‘Seven Fairies’ at the old lady’s birthday banquet?” Lin Suisui imdiately caught the main point and raised her eyebrows as she asked Zhou Ningqian in detail.
“Yes, it’s them.” Zhou Ningqian nodded. There was even a hint of regret on her face. “After that, they ca to our residence to perform for three consecutive days. Because I wanted to stabilize the baby, I didn’t go over to join in the fun. Fifth Sister felt it was a pity that I didn’t see the performance.”
