If it wasn't for the fact that Mrs. Ao was also from a prominent family, she would have been bullied by her daughter-in-law.

The old lady Ao was very dissatisfied after hearing the sour words: "I miss him, call him back, can't you?"

Zhang Ningxiang was taken aback, but she didn't expect Oaks to be called back by the old lady.

Although the old lady is old and seriously ill, the dowry for the old lady is quite generous.

The reason why Zhang Ningxiang still maintains respect for the old lady is because she hopes to win more inheritance shares from the old lady and leave it to her children.

And the old lady called Oakes back before she died, which is not very good.

Zhang Ningxiang couldn't help frowning, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

The old lady didn't seem to want to say more to Zhang Ningxiang: "Okay, you can go to your own business first. I'm so lucky that I don't see Oakes, I want to have a private conversation with him."

Seeing that the old lady had issued an order to evict guests, Zhang Ningxiang couldn't just stay in the house, so she was blessed: "The old lady has a rest earlier, I'll go first."

After that, he left the yard.

As soon as Zhang Ningxiang left, the old lady ordered Grandma Jing to invite Hua Zhaoying and the others back.

She said through the gauze curtain: "I'm sorry... the complicated things at home made everyone laugh."

Hua Zhaoying said at this moment: "I wonder if I can diagnose the old lady's pulse?"

The old lady was taken aback, and then thought that this person was not only Oakes' master, but also a pharmacist.

She smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I can, but with my illness, I'm afraid there is no hope for me."

When Oakes heard that Hua Zhaoying took the initiative to speak, she was very excited: "Grandma, my teacher is very good!"

Grandma Jing lifted the gauze curtain: "Teacher, please."

Hua Zhaoying nodded slowly, and said, "Xiao Yan, come in."

With that said, the master and apprentice entered into the gauze tent.

This old lady's complexion...is really not very good, her skin is like dead tree bark, her face is still purple, it can be seen that her Qi and blood are not flowing well.

In fact, looking at this appearance, Hua Zhaoying already had a lot of emotions in her heart, and put her slender fingers like jade on the old lady's pulse.

After Hua Zhaoying felt the pulse, she had a count in her mind, and said to the old lady directly through sound transmission, "Old lady, what you say next is related to your wealth and life. The people in the room must be trustworthy people."

The old lady was taken aback, apparently never expecting that the young man in front of her would be able to transmit sound to the ears. She looked around and said calmly, "Pearl, go to the kitchen and prepare six bowls of sweet soup. Keep an eye on it. Bingtang, don't misplace it."

"Yes."

The maid named Pearl left the room.

As soon as the girl left, the old lady said: "Jing'er, close the door."

Grandma Jing immediately followed her advice.

Although Oakes didn't know why, he also knew that something was not right.

After closing the door, Hua Zhaoying opened her mouth.

"Old lady, you are not sick, but poisoned."

As soon as this remark came out, Shi Potian was shocked, and everyone was stunned—except for Mu Yan.

As soon as she entered this room, Mu Yan felt something was wrong.

The stench was not caused by illness, but by poison.

If I guessed correctly, the person who poisoned him should be that beautiful woman just now, Zhang Ningxiang, the official wife of Aofu.

The strange fragrance emanating from her body was too obvious and strange.

However, since Aofu is from a family of pharmacists, it's outrageous that they didn't find out.
