Chapter 189 is actually precious white sugar?
Lu Ziwei shook her head while denying it: "How could it be him? You must have seen it wrong."
"I'm most afraid of bitter things. He must have added icing sugar to the medicine bowl. Yes...it must be icing sugar."
Su Yujiao took out a medicine bowl and said, "This is the medicine bowl you just took last night. There's still some residual medicine in it. I've checked it, and it does contain trace amounts of safflower and musk. It might not be noticeable once or twice, but long-term use can cause miscarriage."
Lu Ziwei's face turned pale: "It can't be him, absolutely not."
"Even if someone drugged someone, it must have been someone else."
Seeing that she refused to accept the reality, Su Yujiao did not try to persuade her. It was useless to persuade her about this matter. She had to deal with it herself.
After a long while, Lu Ziwei asked with tears in her eyes, "Why did he do this?"
"He obviously loves me so much, why would he do that?"
"I don't believe it. It must be a mistake."
"I'm going to find him and ask him now."
Su Yujiao grabbed her and said, "Are you stupid? If you question him face to face, will he admit it? Will he dare to admit it?"
"Then what should I do?" Lu Ziwei seemed a little exasperated.
"Why did you tell me the truth? Isn't it better for me to be happy forever?"
"I would rather keep believing the lies he told me."
Su Yujiao was speechless: "This is not just a lie, he wants your life."
"You are still useful to him and the Li family now. When you are no longer useful, he will give you a bowl of poison and send you on your way."
Lu Ziwei covered her ears and refused frantically: "No, no, he won't be so heartless to me."
"What reason does he have for doing this?"
"I have a good family background, good character, good looks, and I love him wholeheartedly. Why would he do this?"
"Because he likes someone else!"
"You're blocking someone's way!"
"There's no reason for feelings. Even if you're a thousand times better than a strand of white moonlight, you can't compare to a strand of hair. If I don't like you, I just don't like you."
"The woman he loved couldn't give him the power and fame he desired, so he married the general's daughter."
"When he has both fame and fortune, you will become a stumbling block on his road to happiness, and he will naturally want to get rid of you."
Lu Ziwei couldn't accept this reality and ran away in collapse.
"Follow her, don't let her do anything stupid, and don't let her confront Li Rongheng."
"When she figures it out, she'll know what to do."
At night, Lu Ziwei drank the pregnancy-maintaining medicine fed to her by Li Rongheng himself and fell asleep.
At night, Lu Ziwei quietly got up and rummaged through the man's clothes, and suddenly touched an oil-paper bag.
Her face turned pale and tears burst out instantly. She covered her mouth tightly with her hands to prevent herself from crying out loud.
The woman opened the oil paper bag in the moonlight, and there was indeed white powder inside. She poured out some of the powder and put the oil paper bag back to its original place.
Lu Ziwei stayed awake until dawn. As soon as Li Rongheng left, she hurried to a nearby pharmacy and asked the most experienced pharmacist in the pharmacy to identify the medicine.
"Doctor, do you see what this is?"
Doctor Xu looked at the masked woman in front of him and couldn't help but become cautious.
He looked at the white powder, sniffed it, and even dipped his finger in it to taste it.
"Madam, this is extremely precious white sugar. It's sweeter than brown sugar but doesn't have that burnt taste."
Lu Ziwei was stunned for a moment, then her expression relaxed. She asked, "If we put this sugar in the pregnancy-preserving medicine, what miraculous effect will it have?"
Doctor Xu shook his head: "Although the decoction is bitter, it is not recommended to add sugar, as it will affect the efficacy."
"If you really hate bitterness, you can rinse your mouth after taking the medicine and then put a piece of candied fruit in your mouth to reduce the bitterness."
"Besides affecting the efficacy of the drug, will there be any other harm, such as causing miscarriage in pregnant women?"
Doctor Xu laughed and said, "Don't be so funny, ma'am. This is just ordinary white sugar. How could it cause a miscarriage?"
"If sugar and medicine turn into poison after being taken, who would dare to eat them?"
"My lady, you are overthinking it."
Lu Ziwei walked out of the pharmacy in a good mood, holding the sugar. She said, "Jiaojiao was overthinking it. How could her husband poison her if he loved her so much?"
He added sugar to the medicine because he was afraid it would be bitter for her.
This white sugar is extremely precious, and my husband is never stingy with it.
She would go and tell Jiaojiao not to misunderstand her husband again.
Lu Ziwei originally wanted to go back to the teahouse they had been to last time, but suddenly she remembered that she had left in such excitement that she had not asked where Jiaojiao was staying.
But she definitely wouldn't live in the teahouse, so I should go back and ask Mo Ying.
Lu Ziwei returned to Li's house and when she saw that there was no one around, she quietly called Mo Ying out.
"Go back and tell Jiaojiao that she's overthinking it. This is just sugar, not poison."
"He just wanted me to suffer. Someone else poisoned me."
"By the way, tell her that I won't tell Rong Heng about this. I doubted him before, but I don't want him to know. Tell Jiaojiao not to doubt him anymore in the future."
"Keep watching and make sure to find out who poisoned him."
"I want to see who has been harming me!"
Mo Ying did not disappear as usual, as if he was hesitating about what to say.
"What's wrong? Do you have something to say?"
"From the time you left the house until you returned, someone was following you secretly."
"I wanted to follow and see where that person ended up, but I had to protect your safety, so I had to give up."
Lu Ziwei's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
"Do you suspect that the person who just followed me was the one who poisoned me?"
Mo Ying hesitated for a moment before speaking: "There is this possibility, and there is another possibility."
"what?"
"Perhaps this white sugar is what Lord Li wants you to see."
Lu Ziwei slammed the table in anger. Why was everyone suspecting her husband?
Can't they just hope for her good luck?
She couldn't say harsh words to Jiaojiao, but could she not lose her temper with the Lu family's secret guards?
"If you don't have evidence in the future, don't talk nonsense. Keep your mouth shut."
"Otherwise, forget about your tongue."
"Yes, please calm down, miss."
In the next few days, Su Yujiao seemed to have disappeared, and Lu Ziwei did not take the initiative to contact her.
This will prevent her from saying something suspicious and making me upset.
About three days later, Mo Ying suddenly handed Lu Ziwei a letter.
"Jiaojiao gave it to me?"
Lu Ziwei frowned unconsciously after reading the letter, and her first reaction was that Su Yujiao was really troublesome.
But he also knew that she was doing this for his own good and didn't want to offend her.
Moreover, she also wanted to find out who poisoned her as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll do whatever she says."
The next day, Lu Ziwei went to see Mrs. Li and said that she wanted to stay in the temple for a few days to pray for the baby in her womb and ask the Bodhisattva to bless the baby to be born safely.
