Aunt Wang had just come out of the house, her body was still hot. When she pulled Qiao Linxi's hand, the sudden feeling of heat made her shiver all over and she felt even colder.

She pulled her hand away and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, but I don't want to get married."

After saying that, Qiao Linxi looked at Madam Li and said, "Madam Li, please let me go see Li Liangbin. Maybe I can find a way to save him."

"No, even if you poisoned me, if I let you go to see him, wouldn't that make my son die faster?"

"Madam Li," Qiao Linxi advised patiently, "If you let me go to see your son, maybe there is still a chance to save him. If you delay any longer, even if a god comes, it will be useless. I think you would rather your son wake up than let me, a completely unrelated person, be buried with your son, right?"

A man who looked like a doctor came out of the house and saw people kneeling on the ground outside. He shook his head and said, "Madam Li, your son is poisoned, but I don't know what the poison is, so I can't prescribe medicine."

"Doctor, this is Boss Qiao. My son ate at her restaurant today. Ask her what dishes she cooked."

In order to find out what kind of poison Li Liangbin had taken, the doctor asked Qiao Linxi to write down all the dishes Li Liangbin had eaten on paper.

Although Qiao Linxi couldn't remember, she had the system, which told her the names of the dishes that Li Liangbin and the others had eaten.

The doctor read the menu written by Qiao Linxi over and over again: "There is no problem with this, right? These dishes are not incompatible with each other, and there will be no problem at all if you eat them. Did Master Li eat anything else?"

Qiao Linxi said: "Before the meal started, Li Liangbin went to the kitchen and said he wanted to eat something to fill his stomach, so I made him fried rice."

The doctor shook his head. "It's just egg fried rice. There won't be any problem. Boss Qiao, think about it carefully. Does Mr. Li have anything else to eat?"

Qiao Linxi shook her head: "That's all he ate at my place. As for what he ate after he came back, and what he ate before he left, I don't know."

The servant of the Li Mansion told Li Liangbin what he had eaten in the morning again, and the doctor shook his head again: "There is nothing wrong with these."

Qiao Linxi's guess became stronger and stronger that Li Liangbin might be suffering from alcohol poisoning.

So I just said it out.

"What do you mean by alcohol poisoning? My son can drink a lot and nothing has ever happened to him. It must be something wrong with your stuff."

No one here has ever heard of anyone being poisoned by drinking. No one believed Qiao Linxi's words.

"No matter what, whether you want to report me to the police or let me be buried with him, you have to let me see Li Liangbin and let me know how I died, right?"

Li Liangbin did eat in her restaurant, but now he is unconscious. Qiao Linxi feels that she is somewhat responsible. If he died of alcohol poisoning, then it is still her responsibility.

Qiao Linxi kept trying to persuade Mrs. Li, but Mrs. Li refused to let Qiao Linxi go see Li Liangbin.

Qiao Linxi also tried to persuade him, and said as he gathered his coat, "Well, since you want your son to die, I don't care. You can report to the authorities, as the county magistrate and I are very familiar with each other. I just don't know if the county magistrate will dare to convict me when the time comes."

If Qiao Linxi hadn't mentioned this, Madam Li would have forgotten that Qiao Linxi had a very good relationship with the county magistrate.

If Qiao Linxi was accused of poisoning Li Liangbin, she might not be sent to prison. Besides, there was nothing wrong with her stuff.

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Li opened the door and let Qiao Linxi go into the inner room to see Li Liangbin.

Looking at the shaky woman in the yard, Qiao Linxi said, "She came in. I want to know what happened after you came back."

When the maid heard what Qiao Linxi said, she stood up with great effort and limped to the inner room. Madam Li followed her in.

As soon as he entered, Qiao Linxi felt nauseous because of the pungent smell of snot.

Li Liangbin was lying on the bed, breathing weakly, with a charcoal fire next to the bed and a spittoon farther away with some vomit in it.

"Tell me what happened after your young master came back."

"Hey," the maid entered the steamy room and felt alive again. She said, "Madam and the young master called me over tonight. The young master drank a lot and was very drunk, but he was still sober. He was in a good mood and didn't push me away. Not long after I helped him to sleep, he started vomiting. I thought he just drank too much, so I poured him some tea. But he kept vomiting and bleeding, and then he fainted."

The smell in the house was so strong that Qiao Linxi walked to the window and opened it.

Mrs. Li started to yell again when she saw this: "Open the window. It's so cold. Can you bear to let my son freeze?"

"Your son is not a pig, so he can't live in a pigsty. The smell in this room is too strong, don't you think it's unpleasant, ma'am?"

Of course it smelled bad, but Mrs. Li couldn't show it, after all, it was her son sleeping there.

Qiao Linxi took a look at Li Liangbin's appearance. He was no longer as energetic as he was during the day. He looked like a quickly withering green plant. His vitality was very weak and he was in danger of dying at any time.

But even so, Madam Li still tried to stop me. She only wanted me to be buried with her. Could she really tell the difference between the important and the unimportant?

Qiao Linxi asked the system in his heart whether it could detect what kind of poison Li Liangbin had been infected with?

"Poisoned? He's not poisoned!"

Qiao Linxi: No poisoning? Then it's alcohol poisoning?

"No? Host, please think carefully about what Li Liangbin ate."

Apart from that plate of egg fried rice, how would Qiao Linxi know what Li Liangbin ate?

"Oh, does the host have the memory of a fish? It's only a short seven seconds. I'd better play the video of Li Liangbin yesterday for the host."

Then, images of Li Liangbin’s activities yesterday, including him going to the toilet, flashed through Qiao Linxi’s mind.

Qiao Linxi: This is unnecessary, right? So disgusting.

The system chuckled and said nothing. The images in Qiao Linxi's mind were still changing, until Li Liangbin went to the snack bar, and the system reminded Qiao Linxi.

"Host, please look carefully. These scenes can only be played once."

At the snack bar, Li Liangbin ate normally, and even the dishes he ate were exactly the same as those eaten by Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li also drank, but not as much as Li Liangbin.

Until Li Liangbin went to Qiao Linxi to settle the bill, he asked Qiao Linxi for persimmon cakes. The scene stopped here, and Qiao Linxi was curious why it didn't continue.

system:……

This host seems to be completely unaware of where the problem lies. Should I remind her?
