The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 179

"My son!" Lu Zhuo heard someone calling softly in the haze.He managed to open his eyes, and when he saw the person coming, he immediately shook his head, cheered up, and raised his hand to stop the other person from talking.

He looked up at the already bright sky, and walked into the room lightly to have a look. His attendant was dozing on the chair, and he woke up immediately when he heard the sound of footsteps.Lu Zhuo waved his hand, asked softly what happened later, and then walked out gently.

"But there is a situation?"

"Back to Shizi, the dark guards found some clues last night, but..." The visitor looked at Shizi and was a little speechless.

"Let's talk!" Now that his father's life is involved, there is no embarrassment.

"It's Aunt Cui from Xikuayuan who has some problems!"

"Aunt Cui? Which Aunt Cui?" Lu Zhuo was still confused for a while, and after thinking about it, he said: "You mean the little aunt of the father?"

"Exactly!"

"What's going on?" Lu Zhuoju washed his face with cold water, wiped it casually, and sat on a chair to listen to someone's reply.

"...Later, one of the guards followed Heiying to the servant's room, and the other found out that the person in that room was Aunt Cui."

"Do you know who that servant is?" Lu Zhuo asked, tapping on the table lightly.

"...It's Lu Quan'er from the carriage house. His subordinates found out that Lu Quan's youngest son almost died of illness a few years ago. Aunt Cui gave up a piece of ginseng to save the child's life."

It is not difficult to understand why Lu Quanhui went to see Aunt Cui.The grace of saving life must be repaid. It seems that the way Lu Quan'er repays the favor is to provide information to Aunt Cui.He arranged carriages and horses in and out of the outer courtyard, and of course he knew who was coming to the house before anyone else, so Aunt Cui must have made preparations first.Stop taking the medicine when it’s time to stop, of course I can’t find out…

However, why did Aunt Cui poison her father?
Lu Zhuo couldn't figure it out.However, there is no need for him to think too much, firstly, it needs to be based on real evidence, and secondly, it depends on what his father says about this matter.

For several days in a row, Cheng Guogong was repeatedly tossed to clean the room, his face turned pale. Although the next few days were not so frequent, the previous torture obviously did not recover well.The detoxification of the body is still going on, and I can only drink some porridge and water every day, even the hero is boiled dry.

However, the only thing that is gratifying is that no matter what the night is like these days, Duke Cheng's poison has not flared up again, obviously the poison has really been cured.

On this day, Lu Zhuo saw that his father's complexion improved slightly, and his spirit improved a lot, so he hesitated to tell his father about the secret guard.

"I've been watching in secret these days, but there's been no movement over there these days. Searches didn't find anything..."

"Aunt Cui?!" Cheng Guogong's eyes flashed brightly, but a young and beautiful figure appeared in his mind, with a typical southern appearance, fair skin, light willow eyebrows, gentle and quiet.Always silently serving by your side...

how is she?

"Have you checked what happened before Aunt Cui entered the mansion?" Cheng Guogong was lying on the couch, and now he has regained a little bit of strength, and finally he can speak without panting.

With a wave of Lu Zhuo's hand, a person walked in quietly and handed Cheng Guogong a piece of paper.After seeing it, Cheng Guogong slowly tore it up and soaked it in a water glass.

"Go home tomorrow!"

"Father! You are still not well, what if..." Lu Zhuo stood up anxiously and stopped him quickly.

Cheng Guogong waved his hand slightly, and said: "It's okay, I know my body. The poison is cured. Although the detoxification process...was a bit unbearable, I already feel that my body is extraordinarily clear. It's all right."

"The son is going to make arrangements...but he wants to send a message back?" Lu Zhuo asked.

"As usual!"

Cheng Guogong successfully detoxified and returned home. This news was not a big deal to the people of the capital, but at least it caused some ripples in the noble circle.

In the evening of the next day, an ordinary mule cart drove out of Duke Cheng's mansion and headed for Qiwu Nunnery on the outskirts.
