The door of the orchid room in the backyard was closed. Yinhuan and Xue Tao were guarding on both sides, while Duke Su and Su Min'er were sitting under the big banyan tree in the yard.

Su Min'er looked at the door worriedly and said bitterly, "If anything happens to my mother, I will kill her."

Duke Su's face was cold, and he echoed, "Don't worry, if she can't save your mother, she won't be able to leave this courtyard today. Then I'll put the blame on her for killing your mother, and then hack her to death. I'll handle the matter with the Zhennan Palace. It's also good to use your mother's death to remove a stumbling block for you and Shen Chejin."

Duke Su spoke in a very low voice, but Xue Tao had some skills after all, and her eyesight and hearing were much better than those of ordinary people, so she heard every word of their conversation.

Xue Tao stared at the father and daughter, feeling chilled to the bone.

It is said that the killers from the Blood Robe Building kill without blinking an eye. From what she saw, this father and daughter were not much better. They were so vicious and outrageous!

Taking a deep breath, Xue Tao suppressed her dissatisfaction. If she wasn't restricted by her status, she would definitely let these two beasts know how powerful she is.

Yinhuan blinked her eyes and saw that Xue Tao looked unhappy, so she asked, "Taozi, what's wrong with you? Are you tired of standing? Do you want to take a break? I'm all right here."

Xue Tao shook her head and moved closer to Yinhuan.

"It's okay. I just feel bad for the young lady and want to teach them a lesson."

Yinhuan sighed softly, "I feel sorry for the young lady too. She never suffered any loss every time she saw this, but she was unable to teach these people a lesson. The punishments were all mild and innocuous. But what can we do? We are just servants. We just need to serve the master well. Otherwise, if we cause trouble, the master will be punished."

"makes sense……"

Xue Tao shook her wrist, and the two small black bugs that had already come out of her sleeve crawled back along her wrist.

In the room, Su Xuqing treated Zhao with acupuncture from the Shennong Herbal Classic. The poison in her body was not common, but it was not as difficult as Shen Xuanheng's Pecking Bird Pulse.

It took Su Xuqing about an hour to force the poison out of Zhao's body, and the poisonous blood emitted a pungent smell.

Zhao slowly opened her eyes and was startled when she saw Su Xuqing.

"Why are you here? What do you want to do?!"

Su Xuqing took the silver needle off her body and said coldly, "I saved your life, and you won't even say thank you?"

Zhao's face was cold, "You saved me? Impossible!"

Su Xuqing hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should just stab her to death.

"Recall carefully where you have been these past few days. Have you seen any suspicious people or eaten any suspicious food? I will ask the authorities to find the person who poisoned you."

Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then she really recalled what Su Xuqing was thinking.

After a long while, Zhao suddenly remembered something and said quickly, "The day before yesterday, I went out to play mahjong and lost fifty taels of silver. When I came back, I was still worried that your father would scold me. As luck would have it, on the way back, I saw someone drop a purse. There was no one around, so I picked it up. Then when I opened it, I smelled a medicinal smell inside. It was so disgusting, and there was not even a copper coin."

Zhao recalled that the smell made her feel nauseous, and then she said, "Since then, I have felt dizzy and vomited, and felt uncomfortable all over."

After listening to Zhao's story, Su Xuqing felt that something was wrong.

The person who poisoned Zhao not only knew her whereabouts, but also seemed to know her well enough to know that she was the kind of person who would take advantage of any opportunity, so he simply threw a purse into her's arms and framed her.

"Is the purse still there?"

"Yes, yes..."

Zhao pointed to the drawer under the wardrobe, her face filled with fear, "It's right there. If you want to take it, take it yourself. I don't dare to take it!"

Su Xuqing walked to the cabinet, pinched her nose, and opened the drawer.

The purse looked ordinary, and when it was opened, only some residual medicine residue could be seen inside.

"I'm going to take this purse and study it."

As she spoke, Su Xuqing wrapped the purse in a handkerchief and put it into her sleeve.

Zhao had already suffered a loss once, so she naturally didn't dare to say much about Su Xuqing's request and nodded quickly.

Pushing open the door, Su Miner and Duke Su, who had been waiting outside for half a day, stood up together.

"how's it going?"

Su Xuqing turned sideways, raised her chin, and said calmly, "It's all right now. In the next half month, you can make more supplements for her to replenish her lost energy and blood."

"Tonics..."

Duke Su looked embarrassed. The Duke's Mansion was running out of money and he had almost spent all the money given by the court. How could he have money to buy supplements for Zhao?

"Ha ha……"

Duke Su rubbed his hands and said, "Qing'er, there is no more money left in the mansion. All the supplements and other things have been compensated to you together with the dowry. Why don't you give some to your parents' home..."

Su Xuqing's pretty face turned cold. This Duke Su was really taking advantage of her.

"Why, you don't ask Su Min'er for money, but you are thinking about my dowry. Zhao is her mother, not my mother!"

Duke Su looked embarrassed, then he forced a smile and said, "Aunt is also a mother, and Min'er is your sister, so you, as the elder sister, must bear more responsibility for her."

"roll."

Duke Su's face trembled, then he shook his sleeves and snorted.

"No delivery."

Xue Tao at the door was almost so angry that she vomited blood. What a bunch of cowards this family is. Madam had just cured Zhao, but this Duke Su turned against her and refused to acknowledge her.

Xue Tao picked up a stone with her toes and held it in her hand, then she flicked her finger and put it on Duke Su's knee, and then the old man fell to his knees with a thump.

Su Xuqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How can you be so generous? As a daughter, I can't bear it."

Duke Su's face looked extremely ugly. He didn't know what was going on. He just felt his knees go numb and he suddenly knelt down.

After rubbing his knee, Duke Su stood up with the help of the door, but his other leg suddenly became numb and he fell to his knees again with a thump.

"Ugh."

Su Xuqing sighed, took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

"Since you have already knelt down, I will be merciful and give you a little reward."

Duke Su was so angry that his face turned red and he shouted, "Someone, get her out!"

"No need, I can leave by myself." Su Xuqing looked at me coldly and said indifferently: "If it weren't for the old princess asking me to come back, I really wouldn't want to enter your broken door."

After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Xue Tao chattered.

"Madam, your family is so hateful. They slandered you and wrongly accused you, and took it for granted that you were the detoxifier. The most infuriating thing is that they shamelessly asked for money in the end. It really, really pissed me off!"

Xue Tao's expression was distorted and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a clattering sound.

Su Xuqing smiled slightly and reached out to hold Xue Tao's small ear.

"Don't do it anymore. I should be the one to deal with them."

Su Xuqing didn't use much force with her hands, and Xue Tao said with a grin that she understood.

Yinhuan smiled faintly upon seeing this, but there was a hint of loss in her eyes.
