Chapter 407: The Night Before

Both Lin Suisui and Madam Zhou accepted this happy outcome. Seeing that their goal had been achieved, Madam Zhou didn’t stay any longer. She chatted with Lin Suisui for a short while before getting up and leaving.

After sending Madam Zhou and her daughter-in-law off, Lin Suisui wasn’t in a hurry to read the medical book that had been left behind. Instead, she picked up the pulse case report that Doctor Luo had just sent over regarding the merchants who had been poisoned.

After drinking a few doses of the medicine that Lin Suisui had previously concocted, the ones with mild symptoms had clearly improved. On the other hand, the two with serious symptoms still didn’t show any improvement. Although the medicine stopped the deterioration of their symptoms, if they couldn’t make them improve, the final outcome probably wouldn’t be optimistic.

“Madam, Lu Ze said that it’s best if you don’t go out tomorrow.” Bai Guo handed the bird’s nest soup that had just been stewed to Lin Suisui as she whispered about tomorrow’s arrangements. “I’m afraid there’ll be trouble outside.”

Lin Suisui nodded. After she about it thought for a moment, she told Bai Guo to send a message to the medical center and tell Mrs. Luo not to go out either.

Bai Guo nodded in agreement. Before she could leave, she saw Yuan Niang rush in from outside so quickly that her dress was swaying in the wind, scaring Yin Qiao, who was guarding the door. She couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong, Sister Yuan Niang? What made you so anxious?”

“Something happened.” Yuan Niang walked over quickly and said to Lin Suisui, “Something happened to that eatery. The four people who fed us previously were all found poisoned to death at home.”

…..

It was obvious that someone wanted to silence them. Just thinking about it made one shiver.

The reason Yuan Niang came over and mentioned this to Lin Suisui wasn’t that she felt that this family was too pitiful, but because something had happened to this family, there was trouble at their medical center.

“The county governor’s constables just left the medical center.” At the mention of this, Yuan Niang couldn’t help but spit on the ground with an exasperated expression. Then, she said, “They said that when they were investigating, someone said that the boss of this eatery had a conflict with our medical center. There were a few times when we heard the boss scold us in the courtyard.

But we wouldn’t take their lives just because of this, right?

However, the constable said that the poison was in the lily porridge they had last night. The lilies in the lily porridge were bought from our medical center.” “When did you buy the lilies?” Lin Suisui looked up and asked. She wasn’t flustered about this accusation. After all, their medical center couldn’t possibly poison the lilies that had been sold to this eatery before they even had any conflict with them, right?

“It’s been more than half a month!” Yuan Niang frowned as she thought about it for a moment. Then, she immediately laughed. “That’s right. Half a month ago, we didn’t even have any conflict with the boss yet!

Moreover, the boss came to our medical center to buy those lilies herself. We can’t possibly have wanted to poison them at that time, right?

Besides, even if we wanted to do something to her, we wouldn’t have poisoned the herbs from our medical center. Wouldn’t that be equivalent to announcing our crime to the world?

That would be too stupid!”

“If those bailiffs come again, just deal with them as usual.” Lin Suisui smiled at Yuan Niang and said, “We’re not guilty, so there’s nothing to worry about.

If they deal with it impartially, we’ll cooperate. Even if someone uses this matter to cause trouble, we won’t be afraid.”

Lin Suisui instructed Yuan Niang gently.

She wasn’t worried that those bailiffs would cause trouble, but the current situation was unstable, so she didn’t want to cause trouble. If they could settle the matter easily, it would be fine, but if the other party insisted on taking the opportunity to cause trouble, they definitely were not pushovers.

After saying this, Lin Suisui mentioned tomorrow’s arrangements.

Yuan Niang had always lived in Cloud Mountain City, so she naturally knew that the Cold Food Festival would be lively. She told Lin Suisui everything about this festival. Then, she said, “But you’re right. These are troubled times. When I go back, I’ll discuss with Doctor Luo to close our medical center for a day.”

Actually, even if Lin Suisui didn’t say it, Yuan Niang didn’t intend to join in this year. Although she didn’t ask in detail previously, from the few patients who were poisoned by voodoo in the medical center, the northern barbarians were probably causing trouble.

The sacrificial ceremony in Cloud Mountain City in the northern region of the Cold Food Festival was mainly to pay homage to the soldiers who had died defending the border. Therefore, this wasn’t the first time the empire’s greatest troublemaker, the northern barbarians, had chosen this time to cause trouble.

However, Yuan Niang and Lin Suisui didn’t expect that the first to cause trouble this year wasn’t those spies from the northern barbarians, but Lu Ze, who had always been low profile.

“Lu Ze has already announced that at the sacrificial ceremony tomorrow, he will use the heads of more than ten northern barbarian spies captured previously as sacrifices to comfort those martyred spirits in heaven.”

Bai Guo came in with the news that Su Le had just sent back.

“This is unexpected.” After hearing Bai Guo’s words, Yuan Niang was so shocked that her eyes widened and she said in disbelief, “The last time we comforted the heroic spirits in this way was a few years ago, when His Highness was still in charge of military affairs in the northern region.

Later on, after General Gao arrived, they started slacking off on the ritual more and more.”

When Yuan Niang mentioned Gao Xuwei, she still couldn’t suppress the disdain on her face, as if she was talking about some scumbag.

“Then tomorrow’s commotion will definitely be extraordinary,” Yuan Niang lamented with worry, “The northern barbarians are very vengeful, so Lu Ze probably wants to bait them by announcing it in advance.

However, this way, the danger Lu Ze would definitely face tomorrow would be very great!

Not only are those northern barbarians extremely vengeful, but they’re also especially sinister and cunning! If they can’t defeat us by force, they’ll most likely play dirty! Madam, you have to tell Lu Ze to be careful!”

“I will.” Lin Suisui nodded at Yuan Niang worriedly as she continued to instruct her gently, “After you go back to the medical center, tell Doctor Luo and the others to be careful tomorrow. Although my husband and the others are already prepared, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Prepare more medicine. It might be useful..”
