Chapter 168: Murder requires paying with one

Crying sounds came from inside the house.

Soon, Yao Yulan stumbled out and shouted to the Jiang Clan Head standing at the courtyard gate, "Old man, hurry in and take a look, Sanlang and Wan'er and the others... *sob sob sob*."

The Jiang Clan Head's body swayed, almost falling over.

He immediately leaned on his cane and rushed into the house in a daze. When he saw the situation inside, he couldn't help but beat his chest, tears streaming down his face.

"Oh heavens, what happened? If you want to take lives, why not take my old bones, why pick on the children?"

Yao Yulan hurriedly supported him, crying and persuading, "Don't be too sad, you need to take care of your own health."

Just as she finished speaking, Master Jiang rushed in from outside, disheveled, missing one shoe.

Apparently, he had just been awakened from his sleep.

"Wan'er, Wan'er..." He looked at the small body on the ground that wasn't moving, his eyes red as blood, his handsome face carrying a dazed disbelief.

Suddenly, Master Jiang's sharp gaze shot toward Du Ruo, and he squeezed out a voice from between his teeth, "Tell me, who killed her?"

Du Ruo was terrifyingly calm. "Third Uncle, don't be agitated first..."

Master Jiang narrowed his eyes, his gaze roiling with malevolence, "Is it you?"

Du Ruo: "..."

Forget it, Master Jiang was also confused by grief for a moment, so he spoke without thinking; she could understand.

However, things still had to be made clear; she wouldn't carry this big pot of harming her sister-in-law, and she couldn't carry it either.

Du Ruo walked over and closed the door, then looked at Yao Yulan and her two sisters-in-law.

"Three sisters-in-law, please continue crying, don't stop."

Yao Yulan and the others were originally very sad, tears streaming down, but after hearing this, they were all choked up.

The three looked at each other, not knowing why.

The Jiang Clan Head also noticed something was wrong and hurriedly pulled his youngest son behind him, asking Du Ruo, "Eldest son's wife, what do you mean by this?"

Du Ruo smiled, but her smile carried coldness.

"Clan Head Grandpa, Wan'er and the others aren't dead."

Not dead? The Jiang Clan Head and his son looked at each other, bent down in unison to check carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, they were just fainted, their bodies were still warm.

Seeing that they had finally calmed down, Du Ruo began to explain.

"To tell Clan Head Grandpa, actually I know a little bit of medical skills. According to my judgment, my mother and Wan'er and the others should have been poisoned. This poison is extremely potent; if not treated in time, there is only a dead end."

"And I suspect the poison was put in the water, and then entered the body through food, causing death."

"Fortunately, I still had a few antidote pills left, so I finally pulled them back from the gates of hell."

"So don't worry, they have no life-threatening danger for the time being."

As long as there was no danger, the Jiang Clan Head was still a bit puzzled. "Then what did you mean by having Yulan and the others continue crying?"

Du Ruo was about to speak when Master Jiang had already taken over the words.

"Naturally, it's to blow the matter up." Master Jiang's paralyzed face pulled up a cold smile. "The more serious the consequences, the heavier the punishment the murderer will receive."

Du Ruo nodded. "That's right, that's what I mean."

If Zheng Shi and the others were just having stomach aches and would soon be jumping around like nothing happened, then the murderer would at most be sentenced to a few years in prison, or exile.

But if the victims almost lost their lives, the nature of the matter would be completely different.

Wait to be beheaded, you bastard!

The Jiang Clan Head and Yao Yulan and the others all realized it in a flash, finally understanding Du Ruo's intention.

"Eldest son's wife is right, this matter must not be left at that, we must find out the truth!" The Jiang Clan Head's cane hit the ground with a thud. ===== CHAPTER 169 =====
