I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 202: A cup of great nourishing soup

This sentence is equivalent to admitting the previous accusations made by Zheng and Bai Zhentang. Zheng's reaction was very quick: "Master, she even admitted that she was the female thief last night!"

Bai Zhenye didn't seem to be surprised at all. He didn't even twitch his eyebrows. He had no intention of blaming Luo Qianhuai. He just said coldly: "Ms. Zheng, don't talk about him. In answer to what Divine Doctor Luo said, I understand." Still don’t recognize it?”

"I don't know, it's not my thing!" Mrs. Zheng immediately denied it, and continued according to her own thoughts: "Ms. Luo, you came to Bai Mansion to diagnose and treat Brother Lang. The master of the house did not treat you badly, but you did The intention of entering the inner room at night is evil - the master of the house is wise, don't think that bringing out some messy things can confuse the public!"

Before Luo Qianhuai said anything, Bai Zhenye took the first step and shouted: "Shut up!"

"Master?" Ms. Zheng was puzzled as to why Bai Zhenye, who had always acted in a very strict manner, repeatedly spoke out to protect this female thief today. She glanced at Luo Qianhuai angrily again, and suddenly realized, consciously understanding the whole story:

"Master, could it be that you were also confused by the appearance of this female thief and lost your mind?"

"Pah!" A loud slap sounded. Zheng was slapped to the ground, with blood flowing from the corners of her lips.

The one who attacked was another of Bai Zhenye's followers.

"If you speak rudely to the master of the house, you should be slapped." He said coldly.

"Brother, isn't this a bit much?" Bai Zhentang felt he had lost face: "If you want a woman, there are many good men to choose from. This Lady Luo is really not suitable, and Wan'er also has good intentions."

"Shut up, too!" Bai Zhenye suppressed his anger and forced a smile when he turned to Luo Qianhuai: "Mr. Luo, Bai's inability to discipline his family makes you laugh."

"It doesn't matter." Luo Qianhuai didn't take it to heart and directly changed the subject: "Please ask the Master of the Bai family to bring a cup of tea."

In a family like Baifu, tea is always ready. After a while, someone brought a fine bird's tongue. The green leaves were floating in the water, and the fragrance was fragrant.

Luo Qianhuai pulled out the cork of the bottle, carefully poured a few drops of aconitine solution into the teacup, and held it to Zheng's lips.

"Since Mrs. Zheng doesn't know it, I won't give it away. To be honest, this is actually a rare nourishing medicine. Just a few drops of it can cure your heart palpitations."

Bai Zhentang knew very well that Zheng suffered from heart palpitations. Seeing that Luo Qianhuai had diagnosed the disease without even pressing his pulse, he understood that this beautiful young lady was really good at medicine and was not a swindler.

"Wan'er, thank Dr. Luo quickly." He showed a happy face, took the tea cup personally, and was about to feed it to his concubine.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zheng seemed to have seen some poisonous insect and ferocious beast, with a look of horror on her face, and she shrank back desperately.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Zheng." Luo Qianhuai smiled, as warm as the spring breeze: "This medicine is a secret that is not passed down in my family. There are countless rare medicinal materials used in it. If it weren't for the reason that I got lost while walking last night, I accidentally I am not willing to take it out to apologize for breaking into the inner room and disturbing the lady. Just drink it, and as long as you drink one glass, Madam Zheng will never have to suffer from heart disease again."

Before last night, Bai Zhentang had never heard Zheng mention poison, and he had never seen the appearance of the medicine bottle, so he didn't think about it at all.

After hearing Luo Qianhuai's explanation, he also had his own understanding in his heart. Since Mrs. Luo said she entered by mistake and was willing to use such expensive medicines to treat Zheng's illness, she was expressing in a subtle way that she would not leak out some secret matters in the house if she accidentally overheard them.

Bai Zhentang felt relieved. He is not a soft-hearted person and will not let Madam Luo go just because the other party gives in.

Since she had heard those words, her end was already determined, either death or being imprisoned by him forever.

Bai Zhentang glanced at Luo Qianhuai's appearance and figure lustfully, and an unknown karma ignited in his heart, and his eyes darkened a bit. But that’s all for later. On today's occasion, he would follow Madam Luo's wishes, and both sides would take a step back to get this matter over with.

With this thought in mind, he casually hugged his concubine and pushed the tea cup to her mouth: "Wan'er, Divine Doctor Luo said that last night was a misunderstanding, and he is willing to help you treat your illness and make up for it. What are you doing? Why should we reject people thousands of miles away?"

"No, no, I won't drink!" Mrs. Zheng's face was astonishingly white, her eyes were round and full of bloodshot eyes, she stretched out her hand to push away the tea cup, and said word by word: "You are lying, this is not true at all. Medicine for heart palpitations!”

Her reaction was so great that even Bai Zhenye and Mei Zhou, who had been unaware of it before, saw the strangeness in it.

Luo Qianhuai's smile deepened: "My unique secret nourishing medicine is worth a thousand dollars, but Mrs. Zheng avoids it like a snake and a scorpion. This is really interesting."

As she spoke, she looked at Bai Zhenye beside her. Although the latter didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, he cooperated with a straight face:

"Ms. Zheng, Divine Doctor Luo gave me the medicine regardless of past grudges, and you still resisted. Could it be that you don't care about the face of my Bai family? Either drink the medicine quickly today, or get a hundred canes. It's your choice."

Zheng was very angry. The Bai family's torture sticks are all specially made. They are made of bitter oak and are three feet and five inches long. The diameter of the big head is two-thirds. She has heart palpitations and is weak. Not to mention a hundred sticks, which is what I mentioned before. She may not be able to survive twenty sticks.

But others didn't know, so how could she not know what was in that porcelain bottle? Five drops is enough to send you on your way.

Bai Zhentang didn't notice the despair in his concubine's eyes. "Wan'er, stop being willful and drink the medicine quickly. Don't make your brother angry again."

To advance is to die, and to retreat is also death. Zheng was so sad that she knocked over the tea cup and splashed all over Bai Zhentang.

"What are you trying to make a fuss about?" Bai Zhentang's eyes showed anger.

Luo Qianhuai intercepted his words.

"It seems that Madam Zheng told a lie before, but she actually knows what is in this porcelain bottle." She raised her eyebrows and smiled, but there was a hint of chill in her eyes:

"That's right. I took this book out from the secret compartment on the wall of my wife's inner room last night. How could you not recognize it?"

When Bai Zhentang heard this, he suddenly reacted and was stunned.

Zheng, however, looked like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on, and her usual gentle look was no longer on her face: "I don't recognize it, I really don't know what's inside!"

Luo Qianhuai sighed: "At this point, what's the point of Madam Zheng's denial? You clearly know that there is still a lot of liquid in this bottle, and it is not difficult to get another cup of tea."

Bai Zhenye winked, and someone immediately brought another cup of tea.

Luo Qianhuai watched Zheng's pupils shrink sharply as he wished, and his whole body shrank into a ball. He sighed quietly: "I thought that the person who plotted to poison his nephew and seize the family property in the middle of the night had so much courage. , it turns out that when it’s my turn, I will still be afraid.”
