Chapter 1666: Chapter 1666: It Wasn’t Her Doing
Gu Ya’s eyes fixed on Mrs. An, and he immediately asked, “The medicine is poisoned, mother, did you know?” Gu Ya’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it carried an imposing authority that sent chills down one’s spine.
“Wha…what? The medicine is poisoned?” Mrs. An was instantly dumbfounded, utterly incredulous. The medicine she gave Mrs. Chu was clearly for treating coughs, how could it possibly be poison?
Mrs. Chu stepped forward, “Mother, the medicine you gave me today was deadly poisonous, it nearly cost Little Tiangua her life. Mother, quickly tell us, what’s going on with the medicine you gave me?”
Mrs. An was at a loss for words, first in disbelief, then she shook her head repeatedly, “No no no, no, that’s impossible, impossible, I didn’t, I didn’t poison Little Tiangua.” After hurriedly denying it, anxious for Little Tiangua, Mrs. An immediately grabbed Mrs. Chu with a tense expression and asked, “Fifth daughter-in-law, where’s Little Tiangua? Is Little Tiangua okay?” Mrs. An was so worried about Little Tiangua that her voice trembled. Little Tiangua was the lifeblood of her and the Gu Family.
If something were to happen to Little Tiangua, wouldn’t the marriage alliance with Wang Residence fall through? Mrs. An was counting on Little Tiangua to bring prosperity and wealth to the Gu Family, and if anything happened to Little Tiangua, Mrs. An’s hopes would be dashed.
She mustn’t let anything happen to Little Tiangua; it had taken so many years for the Gu Family to finally produce a Princely Heir. Such a tremendous honor, how could she let it slip away ?
“Mother, mother, don’t worry, Little Tiangua is fine. She didn’t consume that medicine, fortunately, third sister-in-law noticed something was off and didn’t feed it to Little Tiangua.” Mrs. Chu, seeing that Mrs. An was so frightened, quickly tried to reassure her.
Upon learning that Little Tiangua was fine, Mrs. An’s heart finally settled, “It’s good she’s fine, it’s good she’s fine.” Mrs. An patted her chest repeatedly in relief, and gratefully repeated, “Ancestral blessings, ancestral blessings, I must properly pay respects to the ancestors of the Gu Family later.” In Mrs. An’s view, the fact that Little Tiangua was unharmed this time was entirely due to the protection of the Gu Family’s ancestors.
Su Yunjin stood by observing Mrs. An’s reactions. Seeing that Mrs. An didn’t at all seem like someone who would poison Little Tiangua, could it be that there was indeed another story behind the poisoning? Official source is novelꞁire.net
While Su Yunjin was contemplating, Gu Ya approached Mrs. An and asked, “Mother, I ask you, did you let anyone else handle that medicine?”
“No, I always stayed with the medicine while it was cooking, and no one touched it midway.” Mrs. An hadn’t stepped out for a moment. After finishing the medicine, Mrs. An had put it into a pre-prepared porcelain bottle. Then, Mrs. An handed the bottle directly to Mrs. Chu. Turning to Mrs. Chu, Mrs. An asked, “Fifth daughter-in-law, did you let anyone handle it?”
Mrs. Chu shook her head resolutely, “Mother, after you gave me the medicine, I went straight to the third sister-in-law’s place, and no one touched the medicine bottle.” Both Mrs. Chu and Mrs. An claimed that no one else touched the medicine in the porcelain bottle. Su Yunjin became suspicious of eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, and speculated, “Could it be that the medicine was tampered with by the eldest sister-in-law?” Mrs. Zhang had done such things before, so perhaps she was responsible this time too.
“Impossible, it couldn’t have been your eldest sister-in-law.” Mrs. An immediately rejected Su Yunjin’s speculation, and Mrs. Chu, for once, defended Mrs. Zhang, “Third sister-in-law, this matter is unlikely to have been done by the eldest sister-in-law. She hasn’t been home in recent days, and even eldest brother has gone back to their parental home with her.”
Mrs. Zhang simply hadn’t been at the Gu Family, leaving no opportunity to poison.
