My wife has a secret

Chapter 51 The Poisoning Culprit
"White Lotus Sect?"

Qin Shuying, who had fought the White Lotus Sect two or three times, looked puzzled and asked, "The White Lotus Sect is very secretive, and the followers who act outside are all insignificant believers. As far as I know, the prefectures in Jiangnan have sent troops to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect several times, but each time they failed. How should we target them?"

When Qin Shuying was doing business with the White Lotus Sect, she inquired about the other party's background and information.

She felt that after being targeted by Shen Shuangxu, the White Lotus Sect would become more cautious and would not give them another chance.

"What does my husband mean?"

Shen Shuangxu skipped Qin Shuying's question and looked at Xu Qing with a meaningful look in her eyes.

The latter suddenly had an idea and began to look for loopholes in previous events.

The starting point of the whole incident was undoubtedly that he was poisoned, which caused him to hallucinate and fall into the pool.

But why would the Xu family start investigating the murderer from the lady in the backyard?

It’s because... someone directed everyone’s attention to the backyard!

Xu Qingru was struck by lightning and subconsciously thought of someone.

"Doctor Ning?"

Thinking about it now, there were many unreasonable aspects in what Doctor Ning said that day.

From the second day after he fell into the water and fainted, Dr. Ning, who came to treat him at home, insisted that he was poisoned by Datura.

How could he, a doctor practicing medicine in the market, know so much about the origin and effects of Datura?
You should know that Datura is a banned drug in the current dynasty and it is impossible to circulate on the market.

Even Qin Shuying only learned about the function and origin of Datura by chance from a Hu merchant, and then bought it and cultivated it privately to make it into dried flowers for use.

Even Qin Shuying, who cultivated Datura, didn't know that Xu Qing was poisoned by Datura. Why did Doctor Ning determine the cause of the disease so conclusively after checking the toxins accumulated in the liver?
Even the severity of the poisoning, the time, and the methods used by the perpetrator are clearly known, which is a bit too exaggerated.

"There's something wrong with Doctor Ning! He was the one who gave the result of the Mandrake poison, and he was the one who told my grandmother and me that the person who poisoned us was hiding in the backyard... He is most likely someone sent by the White Lotus Sect to mislead us."

Lu Wanhe was a little surprised when she heard this, because she was weak and often dealt with Doctor Ning.

"Doctor Ning has been practicing medicine in Suzhou for many years. He is kind and generous and often helps the Xu family. How could he be a member of the White Lotus Sect? Wan He remembers that when the servants of the Xu family had bruises and sprains, they would basically go to him for treatment, because Doctor Ning's clinic charges a fair fee and his medical skills are superb."

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out once we bring someone to look for it."

Xu Qing turned his head to look at the calm Shen Shuangxu, knowing that she had guessed the identity of Doctor Ning, and asked, "The maid in my eldest house who drives the carriage is very brave, why not lend her to me?"

Mingzhu, Shen's maid, looks like a thug.

This time when we go to look for the vicious White Lotus Sect, we cannot act recklessly as before. We must find some important guarantees.

Mingzhu's physique is very suitable for being a bodyguard, so I can feel more at ease having her over.

"Mingzhu has other uses. Let the Fourth Hospital go with you this time."

Xu Qing subconsciously looked back and found that Qin Shuying was sipping tea, her rosy lips lightly licking the edge of the porcelain cup.

When she saw Xu Qing's gaze coming towards her, her watery almond-shaped eyes curved into two crescent moons.

"I'm not going there to sing and drink, so what's the big deal about taking her there?"

Qin Shuying narrowed her eyes and said softly, "Husband, don't you understand? Sister Shen has her own reasons for doing things, and she must have prepared a backup plan to protect the safety of you and me."

Shen Shuangxu said calmly, "Captain Jiao will bring along Suzhou officials, among whom is Captain Shan from the Zhennan Zhongwu Army. This trip will be fine."

……

The Xu family's carriage was heading towards the East Market where the clinic was located, and the sound of horse hooves could be clearly heard.

In the small carriage, Xu Qing and Qin Shuying were sitting quietly. The latter had a flushed face and pulled the curtain to look out the window.

Her fair skin was particularly bright under the sunlight, and she was more beautiful than flowers. After a while, Qin Shuying noticed Xu Qing who was silent, so she lowered the curtain to block out the sunlight.

"Husband, why do you become so quiet after not seeing you for just one day?"

Xu Qing's doubts grew more and more. Qin Shuying looked so dejected yesterday, so why did she recover in just one day?

No, I'm more energetic than ever.

What exactly happened in prison?
He was also puzzled by Shen Shuangxu. He really didn't know what that woman was thinking. She insisted on him taking Qin with him.

How can Qin help?

Qin Shuying smiled brightly like a flower and asked softly, "My husband, is there anything on your mind?"

"nothing."

After Xu Qing answered this question, Jiao Tingzhang's impatient call came from outside the carriage.

"Mr. Xu, something big has happened."

Xu Qing opened the car curtain and jumped out.

“Isn’t this Hefang Street?”

As soon as Xu Qing got off the car, he noticed something strange, because Hefang Street, where Doctor Ning's clinic was located, was located in the East Market, a bustling place.

But the place where they parked was in a small alley, a hundred steps away from Hefang Street.

"Master Xu, the road ahead is blocked... I heard that a group of criminals armed with crossbows hijacked the clinic of Doctor Ning and killed his entire family. The government office has sent people to block the street and prepare to take action when it gets dark."

Chief Jiao had no idea that Xu Qing came for the White Lotus Sect. He was just following the orders of his immediate superior, Prefect Xu, to protect the eldest lady and young master of the Xu family.

Now that he heard that something had happened on Hefang Street, which was located near the downtown area, he wished he could get there immediately and bring the criminals to justice.

"Master Xu, we can't go to the East Market...why don't we go back home earlier today?"

"interesting."

"Mr. Xu? Why are you walking over there?"

Xu Qing ignored Jiao Tingzhang's obstruction and went to the end of the alley to check the situation. He saw three or five people on the fence of the clinic looking out, as if they were keeping watch for their accomplices in the courtyard.

Several teams of detectives in official uniforms were squatting around the house and the wall with knives in hand, watching every move in the clinic.

"When did it start?"

"It happened about two hours ago."

Xu Qingkou calculated for a moment and determined that these bandits appeared after Shen Shuangxu failed to capture anyone.

The coincidence of the two events is enough to prove that they are inseparable from the White Lotus Sect.

According to Xu Qing's inference, the White Lotus Sect should have sent people to the clinic to destroy the bodies after their plan was exposed.

You move really fast!

Xu Qing returned to the carriage and suggested to Qin Shuying in the carriage: "Madam, you have seen the situation here, so let me stay here to deal with the aftermath."

The gauze curtain was lifted by a delicate hand as slender as porcelain, revealing Qin Shuying, who was sitting inside, with delicate features and beautiful appearance.
