"What made the old lady so angry?"

Just then, the third prince Mu Huan came over with a few people.

Among them were Mu Gu and Duanmu Ling, followed by Lord Liang and Xiao Mingzhi.

As soon as he came in, everyone immediately saluted him.

"No need to be so polite, why don't you tell me what's going on? I just heard that the old lady wanted to arrest someone, who is she going to arrest?"

"Of course it's Xiao Ruge! She injured my grandson, and the old woman is preparing to punish her!"

Madam Zhu spoke with confidence, glaring at Xiao Ruge with eyes wide open as if she wanted to tear her into pieces.

But Mu Huan raised his eyebrows, turned his head and looked at Xiao Ruge kindly, and asked softly: "What's going on?"

His attitude frightened everyone present.

I've heard for a long time that the Third Prince is in love with Xiao Ruge. It turns out that it wasn't just a rumor, but true!

This made Old Lady Zhu look even uglier. She felt that Mu Huan was trying to protect Xiao Ruge.

But she was not afraid. If that was true, she would go to the palace to find the Queen Mother and ask her to punish Xiao Ruge!

"I did hit Zhu Chengxi, but they were only superficial injuries. They didn't make him unconscious. Moreover, I just looked at his face and saw that his eyes were blue and his forehead was purple. I think he was poisoned!"

what?

Poisoned!

Xiao Ruge's words made Old Lady Zhu and Madam Zhu San nervous, and they quickly turned around to look at Zhu Chengxi.

At this time, the doctor who was treating Zhu Chengxi also stood up. He saluted to everyone and looked at Xiao Ruge with admiration.

"This lady is right. The Sixth Master Zhu is in a coma because of poisoning. I just checked his pulse and found that he vomited a lot of poison in his stomach, which caused the poison to break out early."

"I have to thank this girl for this. If she hadn't hit the Sixth Young Master in the stomach, causing him to vomit the poison, the poison would have remained dormant in his body for seven or eight days. If it had taken effect by then, it would have been too late to save him!"

Everyone was stunned by the doctor's words, but everyone present understood one thing, that was it was Xiao Ruge's credit that they were able to discover Zhu Chengxi's poisoning in advance.

"That means Miss Xiao Er is the lifesaver of Mr. Zhu Liu?"

At this time, Mu Gu glanced at Old Madam Zhu with a look of interest, and finally looked at the doctor.

Mu Huan raised his head and glanced at him, something flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

The doctor nodded, "You can think so."

Madam Zhu San was unwilling to hear this, "How do you know that Xiao Ruge didn't poison you?"

The doctor smiled. "Judging from the symptoms, the Sixth Young Master has been poisoned for five or six days. This poison has an incubation period of about half a month. And the most important point is that for this poison to take effect, it needs a trigger."

"What do you mean?"

After all, Old Madam Zhu is old and has experienced a lot, so naturally she considers more than Mrs. Zhu San.

When she heard the doctor say this, she knew that there must be something else involved. It might be a conspiracy set up by someone specifically targeting the Zhu family.

"To put it simply, it's like a Gu poison. If you want the poison to work, you need the mother insect to activate it. However, the Sixth Young Master was poisoned, which is much easier to solve than a Gu. Moreover, this was really an accident. The person who wanted to poison him would not have thought that the Sixth Young Master would be poisoned early because of the beating."

The doctor gave a simple analogy, and finally made everyone understand what was going on.

Mrs. Zhu San no longer held on to Xiao Ruge at this time. She was more concerned about her son's life.

"Doctor, can my son be saved?"

"Of course you can, ma'am, don't worry."

The doctor comforted Mrs. Zhu San and turned around to start detoxifying Zhu Chengxi.

"Well, since it's just a misunderstanding, let the doctor treat Mr. Zhu Liu properly!"

After Mu Huan finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Ruge and said with a smile: "My princess has heard that Miss Xiao is a straightforward person and has always wanted to get to know her. It happens that we will be holding a banquet at home in two days, and I would like to invite Miss Xiao to come and attend!"

Knowing that Mu Huan was backing her up, Xiao Ruge immediately responded with a smile: "Ruge doesn't know the rules. I hope she won't annoy the prince's wife."

"No, my princess is also a straightforward person, you two will definitely hit it off right away. Then it's settled, I'll have someone send the invitation to you in two days!"

Mu Huan nodded to Xiao Ruge, turned around and left with his men.

Before leaving, Mu Gu glanced at Xiao Ruge, with an emotion in his eyes that Xiao Ruge couldn't understand.

But now she was in no mood to care what Mu Gu was thinking, because Old Lady Xiao was already asking her when she became so close to Mu Huan.

Xiao Ruge smiled, looked at Old Madam Xiao who was inquiring, and said with a smile: "Last time when I entered the palace, Concubine Chun wanted to adopt me as her goddaughter, but I am of humble status, how could I dare to marry someone of such status."

She said it simply, but everyone present felt regretful.

Especially Lin, who pulled Xiao Ruge and said regretfully: "Silly child, this is such a good thing, why didn't you agree?"

"Mom, my second sister must have her own considerations, so don't say anything more!"

Xiao Qianqian grabbed Lin and shook her head at her.

Old Mrs. Xiao wanted to say something, but the occasion was not right, so she turned to look at Old Mrs. Zhu.

"Madam, since this is just a misunderstanding, I will take my daughters-in-law and leave first."

Although Xiao Ruge saved Zhu Chengxi's life, she also beat someone.

Originally, Mrs. Zhu wanted to make trouble for Xiao Ruge, but when she thought of Mu Huan's attitude towards her just now, she could only swallow her anger and nodded.

Old Lady Xiao and her people left in a hurry. As for whether Zhu Chengxi could be cured in the end, that was none of their business.

Because Zhu Chengxi was poisoned, Old Lady Zhu took everyone away early, and the rest of the hundred-day banquet should go on and everyone should be happy.

During the meal, Xiao Qianqian whispered why Zhu Chengxi was beaten. When Lin knew that Xiao Ruge had offended the Zhu family again in order to protect her daughter, she didn't know what to say.

She just felt that Xiao Ruge was the best niece in the world, no doubt about it!

So after she returned, she asked people to send many things to Ruyi Garden.

There was a whole set of head ornaments inlaid with gems and pearls alone, not to mention cloth, leather and other things.

Xiao Ruge asked Bai Zhi to put everything away, sat at the table and began to write some food supplement recipes for Xiao Qianqian.

After a period of recuperation, Xiao Qianqian's health is much better than before. The previous dietary supplement recipes are no longer suitable for her, so she plans to prepare a few new recipes.

While writing the recipe, she was also thinking in her mind whether she could make some pills.

After all, Xiao Qianqian would be going to southern Yunnan with her uncle soon, so she had to prepare the medicine for Xiao Qianqian in advance.

After everything was settled, Xiao Ruge asked someone to dig out the old mountain god and Ganoderma lucidum that the Zhu family had sent last time.
