No third party was involved, so Lady Ling was unable to defend herself.
But clearly, the Yao family misunderstood the old lady's intentions. She seized the chance and directly put rat poison into Lady Ling's cup.
How could Ling Lady expect that the Yao family would dare to poison her so brazenly? Picking up the teacup, she drank it without hesitation.
Then she fell victim.
The old lady had cut the rat poison with flour to increase profits; it was fake rat poison that couldn't kill, yet it was enough to make Lady Ling drink a pot-full.
Lady Ling collapsed, face twisted, body convulsing, foaming at the mouth…
Those who knew said she had been poisoned, Those who didn't thought she had suffered a stroke at such a young age.
The worst part was that her miserable state was witnessed by Lord Gu, who came looking for the Yao family.
Lady Ling couldn't bear it and wished she were dead!
"What happened? What's wrong with her?" Lord Gu asked in shock.
