After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

"Tell me, did you do this?" Qin Yueze stared at the apprentice who was dispensing medicine and asked sternly.

The apprentice was terrified: "My Lord, please understand. I am just a commoner and have no grudges against the palace. Even if you give me a hundred guts, I would not dare to harm anyone in the palace!"

"Humph, whether you have the guts or not is not something you can just say!" Qin Yueze snorted coldly and grabbed the apprentice by the collar, "Tell me the truth, did you do it?"

The apprentice was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body was trembling.

The shopkeeper came over hurriedly and saluted, "My Lord, Huichuntang has been open for business for many years and has never made any mistakes. It is impossible for them to add realgar powder to women's pregnancy-preserving medicine! Besides, the realgar powder in the shop was out of stock a few days ago, and no new stock has been delivered yet--"

Qin Yueze was stunned when he heard this: "Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true. This can all be checked in the accounts... Come here, bring the account book over!"

The shopkeeper quickly asked someone to bring the account book.

Qin Yueze let go of the apprentice, took the account book and looked at it carefully.

Huichuntang's accounts are recorded very clearly.

The amount of each medicinal ingredient sold on that day, the amount in stock, and the amount remaining are all recorded.

Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, he saw the clear record above. Five days ago, someone bought the remaining realgar in the shop to kill insects in the yard. Since then, the stock of realgar in the shop has been out of stock.

According to the accounts, it is impossible that the problem with the pregnancy-preserving medicine occurred at Huichuntang.

Qin Yueze put down the account book without saying a word. Just as he was about to leave, the apprentice stopped him:

"My Lord, there is something that I didn't notice before, but now I feel I need to ask you."

Qin Yueze was stunned: "Ask me? What do you want to ask me?"

"I wonder how many people Prince Kang's Mansion has sent here to get pregnancy-preserving medicine for the nobles in the mansion?" asked the apprentice.

Qin Yueze pursed his lips. This matter was not his concern. How would he know?

He turned and looked at the court doctor behind him.

The palace doctor immediately stood up and said, "The one sent by the palace to get the pregnancy-preserving medicine was only the maid Xiaoyu, and no one else!"

"Ah——" The apprentice seemed very confused.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yueze asked.

The apprentice seemed to be thinking about something. "My Lord, in addition to the maid who came today, an old woman came two days ago, also claiming to be getting pregnancy-preserving medicine for the noble of Prince Kang's mansion. She took back an identical set of pregnancy-preserving medicine—"

"Old woman?" Qin Yueze asked again unconsciously.

"Yes, an old woman, in thick clothes and a hood—the hand she stretched out was dark and thin—"

The apprentice's words made Qin Yueze immediately think of Cheng Pozi.

Mrs. Cheng was wearing thick clothes today, and she was thin and had dark skin.

The palace doctor also thought of it. He bowed to Qin Yueze and said, "My Lord, could it be Cheng Pozi beside Concubine Shen?"

"Go, bring Mrs. Cheng here and let him identify her!" Qin Yueze frowned and gave an order immediately.

The two guards agreed to go back to the mansion, and soon dragged Cheng Po here.

"Look, is this old woman?" Qin Yueze pointed at Mrs. Cheng and asked the apprentice.

The apprentice stared at Mrs. Cheng's face, then looked at her hands. After just one glance, he said excitedly:

"Yes, it's her. Her hands are like the sharp claws of a demon. I would recognize her even if she turned into ashes!"

Qin Yueze looked at Cheng Pozi coldly: "You cunning old woman, it's you! Tell me, why did you want to murder this prince's offspring?"

Mother Cheng naturally refused to admit it. She knelt on the ground and said, "My Lord, it's not me. I don't have any..."

"At this point, you still dare to be stubborn?" Qin Yueze slapped Cheng Pozi's face twice.

Mrs. Cheng immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I didn't do that. I am innocent! In this big world, how can one identify someone with just a pair of hands? My lord, please don't believe his one-sided words. I am afraid he has something wrong to slander me..." Mrs. Cheng insisted.

She had already arranged for someone to "provide clues" in the shop next door. As long as the prince asked people to go out and ask, someone would come out to testify against the apprentice and Xier intentionally or unintentionally.

As soon as Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, she didn't expect the apprentice to also say to Qin Yueze:

"My Lord, there were many people passing by that day, and the shops on both sides were also full of people. Since this old woman keeps saying that I slandered her, my Lord, why don't you ask someone to go outside and ask if anyone remembers her..."

Qin Yueze's face was cold.

Although he was almost certain that it was Cheng Po who did it.

But in order to convince Cheng Pozi, he decided: "Take her with you and ask around."

Mrs. Cheng rolled her eyes at her apprentice and was secretly delighted.

Someone will soon point suspicion to this idiot, but he doesn't even realize it...

The two guards pushed Cheng Po out of Huichun Hall and prepared to go to the shop next door to ask.

But as soon as he went out, a big man came towards him, shouting in a rough voice: "Boss, I want to get some medicine!"

The moment he saw Mrs. Cheng, the big man was slightly stunned: "It's you, Auntie! Are you here to buy medicine again? I'm so sorry for that day, I was in a hurry and bumped into you--"

The big man looked apologetic, but Mrs. Cheng's face had already turned pale.

Qin Yueze heard something wrong and followed him out: "What's going on?"

The big man told her everything: "I was in a hurry that day, and the old lady was covering herself tightly. I was careless and knocked her to the ground. As a result, the old lady got up without saying a word, put on her hood and left. I feel so sorry..."

Qin Yueze's expression changed: "Mother Cheng, you are so sneaky, and you still dare to say it has nothing to do with you?"

"I, I was just passing by here... not here to get medicine..." Mrs. Cheng defended.

"Sneaking around? Let me see!" A worker from the blacksmith shop next door came over after hearing the voice.

Mrs. Cheng was excited.

An important witness has arrived.

The situation is about to be reversed...

"This old woman is indeed sneaky. She has come to Huichun Hall many times, but she always covers her face to avoid being seen. If she hadn't been knocked down that day and her hood hadn't fallen off, revealing her face, I might not have recognized her today!"

The blacksmith's clerk's words made Mrs. Cheng dumbfounded for a moment.

She gritted her teeth and reminded: "You, you, you didn't remember it wrongly? Wasn't the sneaky person you saw someone else?"

This guy took five cents of silver from her!

It was clearly agreed that if anyone came to investigate, he would tell them about what he saw his apprentice doing sneakily with Xier...

"What do you mean by others? I saw you, coming to the pharmacy to buy medicine wrapped tightly, sneaking around like a thief!"
