Chapter 13: Aunt was poisoned
Liu blushed slightly and went forward to serve tea to Ye Shu and Gu Xun.

"Second sister, second brother-in-law, have some tea."

But just when Liu was handing tea to Ye Shu, she suddenly felt dizzy and a little unsteady, and some of the tea spilled.

"I'm sorry, second sister."

"It's okay, sister-in-law, are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"

Ye Shu observed carefully and found that her sister-in-law looked unhappy.

"It's nothing, just a simple dizziness. I guess I've caught a cold lately."

【Dizziness? This is not just simple dizziness!】

Ye Shu:!!! What happened to my sister-in-law?
[I remember my aunt had a headache at first, then fatigue and nausea, and finally a loss of appetite, weakness in her limbs, and mental disorder.]

Ye Shu: Could it be that the disease that my sister-in-law suffers from is not an ordinary one?
[My aunt is not just feeling dizzy. She is clearly poisoned!]

[It was my uncle's concubine Zhang who poisoned the food, and she also poisoned my cousin. Her purpose was to replace my aunt's wife and make her son the legitimate son.]

[Poor aunt, her health was worse, and it was too late when she found out. My cousin was in better health, and the poison was less severe. Although he was cured, he has become a cripple, and is hanging on to his life.]

[My aunt and cousin are so pitiful, woooooo~]

Ye Shu and Gu Xun were shocked again.

She would not allow such a good sister-in-law and nephew to be harmed by others!
Ye Shu stood up quickly and said, "Sister-in-law, if you feel uncomfortable, just sit down and rest. You don't have to work any more. We are all family, there is no distinction."

Liu shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, maybe I just didn't get enough rest these days, it will get better slowly."

"Sister-in-law, do you need a doctor to take a look?"

Ye Shu was a little anxious. After all, her sister-in-law was poisoned and she had to see a doctor immediately.

But how should I tell my sister-in-law? Should I tell her that I heard it from my daughter who was less than two months old?
Now Jiang Meng's inner voice is only heard by herself and her husband, so it's better for one less person to know. After all, if she is used by someone with ulterior motives, Jiang Meng will be in danger.

"No, no, just have a good rest these few days." Liu refused. She didn't want to make a big fuss. After all, she thought she was just simply dizzy.

Seeing that Liu had rejected him, Ye Shu could no longer force her.

It seems that I have to think of a way. Since it is poison, I will always find a loophole.

According to Jiang Meng, the poison was given to the eldest sister-in-law and nephew, so it must be someone close to the eldest sister-in-law who could have done it. Jiang Meng did not say that the poison was given to the eldest brother, which means that the eldest brother could not touch the poison.

If it were put in the food, my brother would be poisoned if he ate it.

So where exactly is this poison?
It seems that we have to start with my sister-in-law's diet.

Time passed quickly and the few of them seemed to have endless things to talk about.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon and time for lunch.

The food on the table was quite sumptuous, and Gu Jiangmeng was drooling just looking at it.

[It smells so good, I want to see it, mom, hold me and let me see if there is anything delicious!]

Gu Jiangmeng's eyes were shining, he was babbling, and his chubby little hands were waving randomly towards the vegetables.

"Jiang Meng wants to see what delicious food there is!" Ye Yuan quickly guessed what Gu Jiang Meng meant.

At that time, everyone smiled. It seemed that the girl smelled the fragrance of the food.

Ye Shu took Gu Jiangmeng from the wet nurse's arms, held Gu Jiangmeng and looked at the food on the table.

[Wow~ Five-flavor apricot cheese goose, red and white stewed meat, chicken stewed with mushrooms, Dongpo tofu, roast duck, beggar's chicken, and this fish soup...]

[It smells so good and is really delicious! I want to eat it!] After Ye Shu hugged Gu Jiangmeng and sat down, Gu Jiangmeng was quick-witted and quickly grabbed the chicken leg closest to him.

The meat of this chicken was soft. Gu Jiangmeng used all his strength to grab the chicken leg, pulled it off with force, opened his mouth wide, and put the chicken into his mouth.

Ye Shu was so frightened that she was stunned and didn't react.

Fortunately, Gu Xun was next to Ye Shu. He grabbed Gu Jiangmeng's little hand and used the force to slowly remove the chicken leg from Gu Jiangmeng's mouth.

【Ahhhhhhhhh! My chicken drumstick! My chicken drumstick!】

However, Gu Jiangmeng could only watch his beloved chicken leg leave him.

"Woooooooo~"

Gu Jiangmeng, who lost the chicken leg, could only smell the remaining chicken leg smell on his fingers, crying as he did so.

"Jiang Meng, be good. You can't eat now~" Ye Shu coaxed Gu Jiang Meng.

Madam Ye also smiled and said, "Children are always greedy."

"Little Jiang Meng, when you grow up, your aunt will make delicious food for you. We won't cry anymore. Be good, Jiang Meng." Ye Yuan gently touched Gu Jiang Meng's head.

"Yuan'er likes Jiang Meng, right?" Mrs. Ye asked.

"Of course, Jiang Meng is white, plump and cute, how could I not like her?"

"Then after you get married, give birth to a few more chubby babies."

Ye Yuan didn't realize that he had been tricked and just said "hmm".

When he finally reacted, Ye Yuan looked at the people around him who all had smiles on their faces, and his cheeks immediately turned red with embarrassment.

"mother!"

"You are not young anymore, you have already reached the age of marriage. Not long ago, the Prince of Ningkang sent someone to propose to discuss the wedding date, but you are still dragging it out."

Although Ye Yuan had never seen the prince of the Prince's family, he had seen him from afar a few times, and he was as handsome as the rumors said.

Although Ye Yuan secretly had a crush on this prince whom she had never met, she still didn't want to get married.

"Mom, I don't want to get married so early. I want to stay with you for a few more years."

"Nonsense, can you stay with your mother forever? What will you do when you become an old maid?"

"If you get married soon, your father and I will feel relieved."

"Yes, Yuan'er, you should get married. Besides, I was thinking that if you get married, you can give Jiang Meng a younger sister, so that the two sisters can play together." Ye Shu also agreed.

"Sister~"

[I remember that Aunt Yuan seemed to have an engagement, and the one she was engaged to was the prince of the Ningkang County Prince's family. But...]

Ye Shu and Gu Xun: Could it be that Yuan'er's future husband, the prince of the Junwang family, also has problems?
[However, it seems that this prince does not love Aunt Yuan at all. He married Aunt Yuan just for her dowry. ]

[The Ningkang Prince's Mansion may seem splendid, but it's actually just a facade. The expenses over the years are almost unbearable. Once Aunt Yuan marries in, she will become the Prince's Mansion's cash cow!]

[We can’t let Aunt Yuan marry in! The Ningkang County Prince’s Mansion is a bottomless pit!]

[If Aunt Yuan goes to jail, she will be forced to ask for money from her parents’ family. If she doesn’t give it, they will lock her up and starve her for a few days. What’s even more hateful is that they will abuse Aunt Yuan!]

[Can’t get married! Can’t let Aunt Yuan suffer!]
