Chapter 377 – There’s Gossip
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Li’s eyelids twitched. What was that? It felt like there was gossip!
Jiang Li pricked up her ears, intending to listen carefully.
Li Shuwan’s face turned pale in an instant. She did not expect Old Master Fu to guess it right away!
She collapsed to the ground, and Fu Zhongtian did not expect such an outcome either. His eyes widened.
If his mother-in-law really did it, it would be a different story.
The hall fell into a mysterious silence. Only Jiang Li sat there with a dumbfounded look on her face.
So, a third person was involved in Old Master Fu’s poisoning? Was this person someone everyone was familiar with?
“Forget it, forget it. I owe her this! Go back and warn your crazy mother. I didn’t die this time. Next time, tell her to be more careful!”
Li Shuwan was stunned and blurted out without thinking,
“What do you want to do to my mother?!”
There was a questioning tone in her words, and there was no respect at all.
Sure enough, Fu Zhongtian shouted at Li Shuwan as soon as he said those words.
“Watch your words! Your mother is trying to harm my father, so how can it be reasonable? Are you still helping your mother?!”
“This… this, this, I didn’t expect this either.”
Li Shuwan fell to the ground, covering her face and crying.
However, she didn’t explain anything, which made Jiang Li even more curious about what was going on.
Did Old Master Fu and Li Shuwan’s mother have any grudges? Was it so much so that Li Shuwan wanted to harm Old Master Fu?
When Li Shuwan found out that the food was poisoned, she knew that it was over. When Jiang Li had this little bit of evidence, she could already suspect that it was Li Shuwan, which made Li Shuwan even more surprised.
Her mother had asked her to put the powder in the old man’s usual food. When she found out, she was also very surprised.
She did not even dare to agree,
However, her mother’s next words made her waver. She said that a woman should know how to fight for a chance for herself.
Li Shuwan was already so old, but Fu Yusheng was still so young. The other son of the Fu family did not have much ability, so she knew without even thinking that he could not inherit the Fu family. Fu Yunze was just like his father who did not have much ability. He was just a showy guy without much ability.
The only person who could compete with Fu Zhongtian was Fu Jiuxiao. Fu Jiuxiao, a disabled person, was not a threat to him, and he probably would not have any children in the future.
However, Old Master Fu had been supporting Fu Jiuxiao all this time.
If Old Master Fu Fell, Fu Jiuxiao would not be a threat anymore, and the Fu family would belong to Li Shuwan and her husband.
This medicine was not poisonous, it would just cause Old Master Fu to have a stroke.
Anyway, Old Master Fu usually had nothing to do at home. He would play with birds every day, which was no different from sitting in a wheelchair after a stroke.
They could just let him have a stroke and stay at home and wait on him for the rest of his life.
Li Shuwan was gradually convinced by her mother. In the end, she gave this to Madam Wu. After all, this medicine took a long time to take effect, and it could cause Old Master Fu to have a stroke unknowingly.
In the end, no one would suspect her. They would only think that this was a symptom of the old man’s old age.
However, Li Shuwan’s mother forgot to tell Li Shuwan that the dosage of this medicine could not be too much at one time. Otherwise, it would be easy for others to see the problem.
She did not expect Jiang Li to know medical skills, nor did she expect Jiang Li to have a friend who was proficient in poison.
She had miscalculated a lot, so Li Shuwan was naturally unwilling to accept it.
However, even if the evidence was in front of her, she did not dare to expose her mother. As long as she did not admit it, Old Master Fu would have no evidence to convict her mother!
Fu Yunze was the same as Jiang Li. He was dumbfounded from the beginning to the end,
However, it seemed that the matter had come to an end. On such an occasion, Fu Yunze tried his best to hide in a corner and not be noticed by others.
In the end, Old Master Fu let Li Shuwan off because of Fu Zhongtian’s moral kidnapping. However, he grounded Li Shuwan at home and asked Fu Zhongtian to keep an eye on her. Otherwise, she would be sent straight to prison.
Fu Zhongtian’s performance in the Fu family had already disappointed Old Master Fu. At the moment, Li Shuwan was involved, so how could he rise up in front of Old Master Fu?
Fu Zhongtian really wanted to strangle Li Shuwan to death!
However, Li Shuwan was still useful, and the Li family’s power was his backer.
Fu Zhongtian brought Li Shuwan back to his room and asked the family doctor to treat Li Shuwan’s wound.
The family doctor watched a big show about family ethics, but he did not feel that emotional. After all, nobles were always causing trouble. As a family doctor, he knew what to say and what not to say. He just needed to do his job well..
