Su Anan was such a beautiful woman. Why would someone give her such a strong drug, a large dose at that?
Or perhaps, he was actually planning to drug both parties?
Because wasn't this wine supposed to be drunk by both bride and groom?
Everyone had their own speculations, and there were all different versions.
Shen Juncheng was shocked when he heard what was in the wine pot. "Who, who would be so vicious to put poison in the nuptial wine? Fortunately, my cough was acting up at that time and my wife was understanding and poured me some tea instead. Otherwise..."
He didn't say anything else after that, but everyone understood what he meant.
He was afraid that it was a lie to give it to the Young Madam, but it was true that he was giving it to the Young Master. However, he did not expect that the Young Master did not drink it because of his cough. The water she drank caused the Young Madam to be poisoned.
To give this kind of aphrodisiac to a sickly person wasn't his intention clear enough?
It was the kind that made people die in bed and couldn't be publicized.
Liu Shi was silent. If it was Su Anan, she shouldn't be so stupid to put such a large dose. Didn't she tell her to only put a little?
For that sickly person, one drop might be enough to kill him, and the reason couldn't be found out because the medicinal effect might have worn off long ago.
Liu Shi was very confident and it was a surefire way, but who would have thought that it was Su Anan who fainted.
"Aunty, you have to stand up for Anan and Cheng'er. Find out who's behind this. Who's so cruel? Cheng'er is already in this state, yet he still wanted to use such a dirty method to kill me on our wedding night. In the end, he unfortunately implicated Anan. Cough, cough..."
Shen Juncheng coughed again when he got too agitated.
Liu Shi had no choice but to suppress her doubts, showing the same pained expression and said, "Don't worry, Cheng'er. If someone dares to harm you like this, I will definitely seek justice for you. "
"Thank you, aunty. Cough, cough..."
Everyone was waiting for her to send someone to investigate. Liu Shi could only give an order, "Someone, go and bring all the people in the kitchen here. Let's see who dared to drug the Young Master. Such a daring person."
In a moment, all the people in the kitchen were brought over. Each and every one of them was wailing. "I've been wronged, Young Master. I've worked in the manor for many years. If I had any evil intentions, I would have done so long ago. Why did I have to wait until now? I've been wronged".
For a moment, wails of anguish rose and fell. Before Liu Shi could say anything, Shen Juncheng suddenly stood up and said, "Since everyone says they're innocent, then let's search them. Whoever has this medicine on them will be the murderer."
"Search immediately."
Chao Sheng accepted the order and retreated with a few manservants.
After a while, Chao Sheng returned and shook his head. He found nothing.
There was no result even after searching the room.
One of the guests in the crowd who was watching the show kindly mentioned, "After the food was served, did anyone enter or leave the bridal chamber? It's also possible that it's not from the wine?"
The moment these words were said, Qinghe instantly had a bad feeling.
As expected, a young maidservant immediately came out and said, "Young Master, at midnight, this servant saw Miss Qinghe enter the bridal chamber. She stayed there for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before coming out."
Another maidservant chimed in, "This servant saw it too. Miss Qinghe went to the bridal chamber."
The Qinghe group quickly stood up, knelt down, and said in terror, "Young Master, I did go to the bridal chamber, but it was to convey Madam's orders. Madam was worried about Young Madam's safety, so she asked me to go there and tell Young Madam that she was safe."
Shen Juncheng asked Liu Shi, "Aunt, is what she said true?"
Liu Shi narrowed her eyes and finally reacted. It turned out that she was actually targeted.
Heh, as expected, she wasn't as innocent as she looked.
