Chapter 111
Especially the wife of the village head, who has been accompanying the Cao family's family members to appease the guests just now. As the wife of the village head, there is something wrong with the congratulatory gifts, which makes everyone puzzled.

"That's impossible, you're talking nonsense! I picked those wild chrysanthemums myself, washed them clean, how could they be poisonous!"

The wife of the village head spoke excitedly to defend her, and she was completely dumbfounded.

Chang Xi said softly, "Cousin, listen carefully to what I have to say."

"I said that the chrysanthemum tea was poisoned, not the chrysanthemum."

"Is there any difference between what you said? We all know that the chrysanthemum was sent by my family, so aren't you just saying that I am the one who poisoned you?"

The wife of the village head was alone, weeping with grievance.

Mrs. Cao looked at her with complicated eyes from the side, and Mrs. Cao no longer had the intimacy just now. The two sisters-in-law took a step back and distanced themselves from the village chief's wife.

The faces of the other guests also showed complicated expressions. It is inevitable that some people will wonder in their hearts whether the village head's wife is the murderer.

Chang Xi comforted her first: "The chrysanthemum was sent by your family, but there are not a few people who have come into contact with the chrysanthemum. Since you brought it in, some family members have taken over it."

Having said that, the village chief's wife stabilized her mind a little.

"That's right, since I mentioned it to Cao's house, there has been a family member who registered the gift and put the gift in the corner. He has touched it before."

Chang Xi nodded happily: "Yes, as long as Chrysanthemum gives someone a fake hand, others will have a chance to poison them."

When she said this, she took a meaningful look at Chang Xiuzhu.

"Cousin, you have read the book, is it right for you to say that?"

Chang Xiuzhu didn't expect that Chang Xi still had the ability to figure things out. She really didn't understand this opponent too much, and she underestimated her too much.

However, the poisonous plant she chose was a rare hook kiss, and only one petal was used. She didn't believe it, she didn't believe in Changxi, she only studied medicine for a few days, and she has the ability to distinguish herbs.

"It makes sense." She said pretending to be calm.

At the end, I added another sentence: "However, cousin, you are still young, and you tend to be arbitrary when you speak and do things. It is better not to talk nonsense, which is easy to mislead people."

What she meant was to tell everyone present not to trust the little girl's words.

It's a pity that things backfired, the two wives of the Cao family saw that the matter had taken shape, and immediately reported the news to the outer courtyard and the old lady's bedroom.

The two masters of the Cao family and the village doctor came over one after another, and along with them, there was the boy who just received the congratulatory gifts and was in charge of registration.

When the boy entered the door, he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

"You really don't have the guts to poison me. The master treats me well and never treats me badly. The old lady is kind. I don't want to harm anyone at all!"

The boy was terrified, not knowing why things happened to him.

Master Cao's face was gloomy, and he stared at the begging boy with piercing eyes. He is a servant who has signed a death contract, so it stands to reason that he would not do such stupid things. Once he finds out, there is absolutely no way out.

Who did this thing?

Master Cao turned his gaze to Chang Xi and Cao Jingxiu.

"I heard that you have discovered something, what exactly have you discovered?"

Two half-year-old children, one is 14 years old and the other is ten years old. He didn't pin his hopes on the children, but they can always surprise himself inadvertently.

At this moment, the eyebrows I just had were broken again, and Mr. Cao was worried, so he had to ask them.

Chang Xi whispered to Master: "Master, I found a smell similar to vomit in the tea set used by the old lady in the back kitchen. I suspect that the problem lies in the chrysanthemum tea."

I saw the old village doctor's expression froze, he stood up straight again, and went to whisper to Mr. Cao, and now the two masters of the Cao family were furious.

"Come on! Go and fetch the back kitchen, the teacup that the old lady used just now."

Before the teacup, residue, and liquid could be cleaned up, the old lady was poisoned. The things were taken and handed over to the old village doctor. He reasoned carefully and sniffed at the teacup.

"In my opinion, this teacup is indeed authentic chrysanthemum tea, and I haven't found anything wrong with it."

The chrysanthemums in the cup have been soaked in hot water, and all the petals are unfolded, floating on the surface of the tea soup one by one.

Because the old lady just took a shallow sip, the tea cup was [-]% full, and there was still a lot of soup left.

The old village doctor didn't find any clues, but Chang Xi insisted that the chrysanthemum tea was poisonous. The Cao family knew that they were masters and apprentices, but the village doctor was a master. Compared with the fledgling Chang Xi, they trusted the village doctor more.

Chang Xi knew that it was not easy for her to gain trust with her words, so her master checked first, she did not steal the limelight, and now her master has nothing to gain, so naturally she will not give up easily.

I saw the village doctor carefully, slowly picking out the chrysanthemums one by one with chopsticks, and putting them on clean paper.

He looked again, staring at a chrysanthemum for a long, long time. On this petal, he found an unusual petal.

"It is. It is" stretched out his hand to pick it up, put the petals that had been soaked in water under his eyes, and carefully identified them.

Seeing this scene, Chang Xiuzhu's whole body tensed up, hoping in her heart that the old village doctor would not recognize her, but although the old village doctor hesitated, she still expressed her thoughts based on years of accumulated experience.

"It seems to be heartbroken grass!" Heartbroken grass is a name that has been passed down from mouth to mouth among the common people. Just hearing this name, one knows that it is not easy to mess with.

Hearing the word Broken Heart Grass, the faces of everyone present turned black.

This name is enough to bluff people, as long as you are not a fool, you can guess that it is an extremely powerful poisonous weed.

According to Chang Xi's knowledge, the scientific name of Broken Intestine Herb is Gecko Kiss, and the whole plant is highly poisonous.

It was only a small piece, mixed in the chrysanthemum, it was really hard to find, if she hadn't sniffed the teacup closely to distinguish the smell, there was no way to find anything abnormal.

Her deduction was the same as Master's deduction, so she stood quietly beside Master.

The old village doctor clustered his eyebrows together, stared at the petals in fear and doubt for a while, and then repeated to the Cao family.

"It's the heartbroken grass, I'm sure, I can use it now."

The old village doctor was going to write a prescription, so he left first, and the guests who came today were all whispering.

"Oh, what black-hearted thing is it that poisoned the old lady so hard."

"That's right, the old lady of the Cao family is known as a kind person, and I have never heard of any enemies."

Seeing all the discussions, Chang Xiuzhu's face was terrified, she bit back, pointed at the grandma beside her, shouted helplessly, full of shock and anger.

"Grandma, when you picked chrysanthemums, did you accidentally mix heartbroken grass into it?"

This move brought disaster to the east, and it really attracted the attention of many people.

Everyone chattered and said to the village head's wife: "Oh, look at the poison on the table, the village doctor picked it out with his own hands. You are too careless. You have brought a disaster even if you gave a gift."

It seemed that many people believed what Chang Xiuzhu said just now, and they followed the guidance.
