Chapter 32: Proof of innocence, Zhao Yueer tried the poison with herself
Before they arrived at the Qin Mansion, they saw Zhao Yue'er nestling at the entrance of the courtyard, and Luo Baotou was accompanying her, circling anxiously around her.
"Father-in-law, what happened at home?"
Zhao Yue'er knelt down and said, "Uncle Qin, it's really, really not my fault. I didn't expect this to happen."
"What's wrong? What's going on?" Qin Shaobai pulled Zhao Yuer up, "Where's Xiao Wan? Hasn't Xiao Wan been with you all the time? Did something happen to her?"
"It's okay." The courtyard door opened with a creak, and Xiaolan walked out with a tired face, "Those poisonous mushrooms have been spit out, and she will wake up in a few hours."
"Poisonous mushrooms? Okay, how can there be poisonous mushrooms?" Qin Shaobai asked, turning his eyes to Zhao Yue'er, who was still sobbing.
It can't be such a coincidence, right? They just found out that Zhao Yue'er is not Yue'er's daughter, and now Zhao Yue'er is here to poison people?
She is only twelve years old. Can she really have such a vicious heart behind her harmless face?
"No, it's not me." Zhao Yue'er raised her face, tears streaking down her face.
"Yue'er, we don't mean to blame you." Xiaolan gently held Yue'er's hand, "We just want to know the truth of the matter. What did you and Xiaowan do in the past two hours?"
"Sister Xiaolan, I didn't harm Xiaowan, I really didn't." Zhao Yueer cried again, "I just wanted Xiaowan to eat this delicacy. I never thought that Xiaowan would be poisoned. This mushroom, I
My mother and I also eat it often."
While sobbing, Zhao Yue'er told the whole story.
After Qin Shaobai and the others left the Qin Mansion and returned to the Yamen, Xiaolan let the two children play in the yard.
After telling the head catcher to keep an eye on the two children, she said she had something to do and wanted to go up the mountain.
As a result, Zhao Yue'er was really not in the mood to play children's games with Xiao Wan. When she saw Xiao Lan leaving, she encouraged Xiao Wan to follow Xiao Lan with her to see what Xiao Lan was going to do.
Zhao Yue'er might be able to keep up with Xiao Lan's foot strength, but how could Xiao Wan keep up?
Not long after, the two children were lost.
Xiao Wan wanted to go home, but Zhao Yue'er said that the mountains here were not high and it was still early, so it was better to play in the mountains for a while before going back.
Xiaowan has not been out for a long time, so she is naturally happy.
The two children wandered around in the mountains, picking all kinds of wild flowers. Zhao Yue'er also taught Xiao Wan to weave beautiful garlands with wild flowers and grass.
While picking wild flowers, the two of them discovered a large field of mushrooms.
Zhao Yue'er said that the taste of this kind of mushroom is very good, because sometimes she and her mother have no food to eat, and her mother will go to the mountains to pick these mushrooms to eat.
When Xiaowan heard this, she smacked her lips with greed.
Zhao Yue'er said, "Let's pick some mushrooms too. I have some huozhezi on me. Let's set up a stove to cook mushroom soup and drink it."
"Then why was it only Xiaowan who drank the mushroom soup?" Qin Shaobai tried his best to calm down his voice. He really didn't want to believe that Zhao Yue'er would be such a cruel person.
"Because we were cooking and playing, but when we smelled the aroma, there was only a little bit of mushroom soup in the pot." Zhao Yue'er had stopped crying at this time, and her speech became much more organized, "I
I guess Sister Xiaowan must have never tasted such sweet mushroom soup, she was already licking her lips, so I let Sister Xiaowan drink the bowl of mushroom soup."
"What happened next?" Qin Shaobai asked.
"Later, I heard her shouting for help. I ran over and saw Xiaowan's lips were purple. I knew she was poisoned, so I quickly helped her induce vomiting." Xiaolan said, "It's okay.
I just finished collecting herbs and walked down the mountain. Not far from the two of them, there are also detoxifying herbs in the medicine basket. I crushed them up and let Xiaowan take some first. Otherwise, I don’t know what the result will be."
Qin Shaobai rolled his eyebrows, stared at Xiaolan for a few seconds, and then turned back to ask Zhao Yue'er: "Yue'er, tell you honestly, are you sure that you and your mother often eat this kind of mushroom?"
Zhao Yue'er nodded firmly.
"Xiaolan, do you still have the mushroom that Xiaowan was poisoned by?"
Xiaolan didn't understand what Qin Shaobai meant for a moment, but she obediently brought over the bowl of uneaten mushrooms.
Qin Shaobai picked up a mushroom and stood in front of Zhao Yue'er.
Zhao Yue'er looked at him quietly, without any trace of panic on her face.
Zhao Yue'er's calmness made Qin Shaobai feel guilty. He really didn't understand why he would come up with such a method to test a child.
"Uncle Qin, I know you want to prove whether what I said is true." Zhao Yue'er flashed her eyes brighter than the stars, "I am willing to eat this mushroom, and I am willing to eat all of them.
"
"Brother Qin." Xiaolan finally understood what Qin Shaobai wanted to do. She screamed and her face changed color.
However, she did not step forward to stop him. She just turned her face away and ran out on the pretext of going to the house to see Xiaowan.
Zhao Yue'er was still kneeling there quietly, her tears had completely dried up, which gave her face a heart-wrenching stubbornness.
After all, Luo Baotou couldn't bear it and persuaded Qin Shaobai.
Qin Shaobai's hands were trembling, he was hesitating, he was struggling, and he couldn't see his choice clearly in his contempt and anger.
Suddenly, Zhao Yue'er stretched out her hand, snatched the piece of mushroom Qin Shaobai was holding, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it.
She always raised her head, with a smile on her face, but tears rolled out again.
"Xiaolan, come out quickly." Qin Shaobai looked at Zhao Yue'er chewing there and felt the world spinning. He was afraid. He was afraid that the flower-like girl in front of him would suddenly fall to the ground.
Xiaolan rushed out of the house.
"Don't eat it." Xiaolan shouted, rushed to Zhao Yuer's side, grabbed her mouth, and directly put her hand into Zhao Yuer's throat: "Spit it out, spit it out quickly."
Zhao Yue'er broke away from Xiaolan's hand, stood there, looked at Qin Shaobai with a smile, and continued her swallowing action.
"Uncle Qin, I really never knew that this mushroom was poisonous." Zhao Yuer said, her body softened, she fell back and fainted.
"Quick, get the doctor." Qin Shaobai rushed over and picked up Zhao Yue'er, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Qin Shaobai couldn't help but froze when his eyes fell on Zhao Yue'er's lips.
Zhao Yue'er just turned pale, and there were no signs of poisoning on her body.
My pupils did not shrink, my breathing did not become rapid, and even my lips did not turn purple at all.
"Xiaolan, you know medical skills, come and check Yue'er's pulse." Qin Shaobai hugged Zhao Yue'er and ran quickly into the room. Before he reached the room, he heard a soft voice: "Uncle Qin, I'm fine.
, I was just too excited, I would faint if I got excited."
