There was no need to mention the others. The cooked food was still steaming, and suddenly there was a puff of black smoke. No matter how one looked at it, it was a strange scene.

Old Master Fu’s face was extremely ugly, and Madam Wu’s eyes were wide open. She could not believe what she was seeing. She even deliberately rubbed her eyes. The strange smoke had not disappeared yet!

‘When did my dishes become so strange?!’

Fu Zhongtian’s face also changed. He now knew that this matter was not simple, and he also knew what Old Master Fu meant when he entered the door.

Li Shuwan’s face instantly turned pale when she saw it, and her palms were sweating nervously.

“Tell me. What’s going on?”

Old Master Fu did not think that someone was really trying to harm him!

With a plop, Madam Wu knelt on the ground, her face full of tears.

“Old Master, I’m being wronged. No matter how heartless I am, I would never harm you!”

Old Master Fu turned his face away, unwilling to look at Madam Wu’s face. If it was really Madam Wu, then his heart would be truly chilled.

“Madam Wu, I didn’t expect you to be such a person!”

Li Shuwan suddenly began to point at Madam Wu.

“The Fu family has treated you quite well, right? Why are you so evil?”

“Eldest Young Madam, I didn’t. I really didn’t!”

Madam Wu used her apron to wipe her red eyes from crying and looked at everyone stubbornly.

“I’ve been with the Fu family for so many years. Why would I harm Old Master Fu?”

These words hit the nail on the head. Jiang Li had been observing everyone’s expressions just now. From the beginning, she had felt that Madam Wu did not seem to be the one who had poisoned them.

Which malicious person would have such pure, unadulterated eyes?

Moreover, from her attitude toward Old Master Fu, it was clear that she respected him. Also, when she saw the black smoke, Madam Wu’s expression showed that she did not know anything about it.

Most importantly, Fu Jiuxiao trusted Madam Wu, and Jiang Li trusted Fu Jiuxiao, so it was the same as Jiang Li trusting Madam Wu.

Jiang Li looked at Auntie Wu, who was still kneeling on the ground and suggested, “Let Madam Wu get up. I don’t think Madam Wu did this. Maybe there’s a misunderstanding?”

Madam Wu did not expect Jiang Li to speak up for her, and Old Master Fu was also a little surprised.

Li Shuwan, on the other hand, was a little displeased,

“Sister-in-law, you just met Auntie Wu. How would you know her so well?”

“Then, you’ve been with Auntie Wu for so many years, but you’ve already determined that she did it. Do you know her that well?”

Jiang Li retorted, but Li Shuwan was stumped by her question.

“Grandpa Fu, I think there must be something that we haven’t discovered. We can’t easily harm a good person and let the bad person escape.”

Speaking up to this point, Jiang Li even deliberately glanced at Li Shuwan.

“What’s with that look? Are you saying that I did it?” Li Shuwan laughed angrily. “I’ve never been in the kitchen before!”

“You sound really proud.” Jiang Li raised her eyebrows. “I often cook for my Jiuxiao.”

She could not help but show off again.

Old Master Fu was amused by Jiang Li’s interjection.

“I know you’re amazing. Jiuxiao is lucky to have married you.”

Old Master Fu had seen Jiang Li’s cooking skills before, and it looked really good. On the other hand, although this eldest daughter-in-law was born in a prestigious family, she had the habit of being arrogant. It was hard on the eldest son of his.

Li Shuwan did not expect Jiang Li to trick her here. She gritted her teeth and said, “What I mean is, it’s impossible for me to poison the food!”

Fu Zhongtian nodded as well. He agreed with her point of view.

However, Jiang Li smiled.

“Who said that the poison must be the food? The poison is slow-acting and needs to be continuously applied. Madam Wu went home to help look after her grandchildren some time ago. Who was the one who poisoned the food during this period?”

Jiang Li deliberately dragged out her voice so that everyone could pay attention to her.

“It must have been someone close to Grandpa Fu who poisoned Grandpa Fu’s food. Moreover, the poison doesn’t have to be applied to the food. It can be applied to all the places where you normally drink and eat. Besides, the poison was only applied in the last two months… So, who could it be?”

Jiang Li looked at Li Shuwan with obvious hints in her eyes.

Fu Zhongtian and his wife had returned to the country about two months ago.

Fu Zhongtian was basically busy outside every day, and Li Shuwan was the only one at home.

Everyone’s eyes immediately shifted to Li Shuwan, and even Fu Zhongtian frowned slightly.

“You have to speak with evidence. Jiang Li, don’t slander people!”

Jiang Li smiled.

“I did not say it was you. Why are you in such a hurry? Or… are you hiding something?”

“Nonsense!” Li Shuwan looked at Old Master Fu. “Dad, don’t listen to Jiang Li’s nonsense.. How could I hurt you?”
