Chapter 19: The poison was found
The system has such a low presence that Gu Jiangmeng often ignores its existence.

Next time, could you please tell me the plot in advance so that I can be mentally prepared.

However, Gu Jiangmeng's complaints did not receive any response from the system.

[Forget it, I have to rely on myself. But how should I tell my mother that I am going to my aunt's place? What if I go too late and my aunt accidentally eats the poisonous mung bean cake? ]

Listening to Gu Jiangmeng's worries, Ye Shu and Gu Xun looked at each other and then thought of a solution. "Husband, there is no time to lose. Send someone to inquire about Li Erniu's news. I'd better go to my sister-in-law first. After all, I'm a little worried."

"Well, ma'am, don't get tired."

Gu Xun felt a little sorry for Ye Shu. After all, she had to run around with so many things, but it was a pity that he could only help a little.

[This is the bond between mother and daughter. My mother really understands me! I will hold high the banner for her!]

Ye Shu could only smile secretly after hearing this.

Although the Ye Mansion looked quite large from the outside, the interior was indeed very plain and simple. It was not as magnificent as one might imagine, nor was it decorated with carved beams and painted buildings. The simple layout of the tiles and gravel around it made it look fresh and refined.

[My grandfather's family is really frugal. As the Minister of Revenue, he holds great financial power, but he is not corrupt. And although my uncle has a small success in business, he is not extravagant. How could someone frame my grandfather's family? It's really abominable!]

Ye Shu felt extremely sad when she heard this. Just as Jiang Meng said, she really didn't know why there were still people so hateful that they wanted to harm their Ye family.

Ye Shu carried Gu Jiangmeng from the boudoir all the way to Zizhu Pavilion.

As soon as Ye Shu entered the house, she saw Liu sitting there embroidering clothes.

"Sister-in-law." Ye Shu called softly.

"Second sister is here, come and sit down and have a rest." Liu put down the needlework in her hands, stood up and greeted Ye Shu.

"Why are you still busy with these? You are in such a bad condition, why don't you take a rest first?" Ye Shu felt a little sorry for her sister-in-law.

"These jobs are not worth the effort. I'm just killing time."

Just now Ye Liang insisted on staying here, but something happened in the shop, so Liu pushed Ye Liang out.

Gu Jiangmeng didn't pay attention to their conversation, but just looked around with his pair of black eyes blinking.

[Where is it? I have to look for it. It's not here, but I can't see it anywhere else. I wish my mother could move me.]

Gu Jiangmeng moved slightly in Ye Shu's arms, hoping to attract her mother's attention.

Listening to Gu Jiangmeng's inner voice, Ye Shu also looked around and changed the position of the child in her arms.

[My dear mother, you are awesome! Now I can see it!]

[There! Found it, on the table!]

Liu saw Ye Shu move Gu Jiangmeng in her arms and couldn't help but step forward to take a look, "Jiangmeng is so cute, I wish I had a daughter, but it's a pity that I gave birth to a bad boy."

Ye Shu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, take good care of yourself. You will definitely be able to give Jiang Meng a younger sister in the future."

When Liu heard this, she also smiled slightly.

After a while, Xiang'er came forward with a silver needle in her hand and tested the poison on each food.

Liu saw it and said, "There's no need to try the mung bean cake."

Mrs. Ye had asked her maid to deliver this mung bean cake to Mrs. Liu.

[No, that mung bean cake is poisonous. I must test the poison!]

Gu Jiangmeng hurriedly moved in Ye Shu's arms.

Ye Shu quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you test the mung bean cake for poison?" "My mother sent it here, how could it be poisonous?"

[This Zhang is so despicable. She put poison in the cakes that my grandmother gave to my aunt. After all, most people would not be suspicious.]

[Even if they find out that the mung bean cake is poisonous, they will only suspect my grandmother. This will not only get rid of suspicion, but also alienate my grandmother and my aunt.]

Ye Shu couldn't help but clench her fingers when she heard this. This Zhang was really abominable!
Ye Shu knew that her eldest sister-in-law Liu had a very good personality and was gentle to others. She was also very kind to the concubine Zhang and her son.

Even so, Zhang was not satisfied and wanted to kill her eldest sister-in-law and nephew!
Are good people always bullied for no reason?
"Sister-in-law, I know what you mean. After all, it's because mother sent it, so you don't want to try the poison."

"But we don't know what happened before it was delivered from my mother. After all, poisoning is a serious matter, so we'd better give it a try. I think even if my mother knew, she would definitely agree with our approach."

[Wow, my mother is so amazing. She doesn't miss any details! With a mother like this, there is no need to worry about not making a comeback!]

After hearing Ye Shu's advice, Liu finally agreed.

"Test it."

[Quick, quick, quick, mother, carry me over here. I want to see how the silver needle turns black. I have never seen it before!]

Seeing her daughter so curious, Ye Shu curled her lips into a smile and walked to the table holding Gu Jiangmeng.

As expected, the silver needle really turned black.

Liu was so frightened that her face turned pale in an instant, and she opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.

Although Ye Shu knew the answer, she pretended to be surprised, "Sister-in-law! This! This..."

"Madam, this... is actually poisonous!" Xiang'er exclaimed in surprise.

It took a long time for everyone to calm down.

"Try something else." Liu was a little bit unconvinced and asked Xiang'er to try again. After all, she only tested a small piece.

However, the results were consistent, and it was not a coincidence. There was poison on every piece of mung bean cake.

"Try something else."

Xiang'er then followed Liu's instructions and tested other foods one by one, but the silver needle did not turn black.

"How could it be..." Liu couldn't believe it.

If my second sister hadn't asked me to test it, I definitely wouldn't have tested this mung bean cake, but now it turns out to be really poisonous!
Could it be my mother? Impossible, it absolutely couldn't be my mother! After I got married, my mother treated me like her own daughter and even specially ordered me to make this mung bean cake.

Just because I said I liked it, my mother specifically ordered her maid to bring it to me every few days. My mother was so kind to me, how could she poison me?
Liu threw away this ridiculous idea and recalled what Ye Shu had just said.

Yes, there must be something wrong in the process!
"Second sister."

"Sister-in-law."

At that time, both of them spoke at the same time.

"Sister-in-law, you speak first."

"Second sister, someone must have tampered with the mung bean cake!" Liu was afraid that Ye Shu would think too much.

Hearing Liu's words, Ye Shu felt a warm current surge into her heart.

My sister-in-law is so nice. If it were an outsider, she would definitely suspect my mother at the first moment. But my sister-in-law was afraid that I would worry, so she directly said that it was not my mother who did it.
