Adorable Twins: My Mother Is a Cool Miracle Doctor!

Tang Shijun signaled the guards not to throw him out just yet.

“Nonsense! If it weren’t for Qingluan, my elder sister would have already died! Don’t try to blame Qingluan. Why are you so agitated? Could it be that my elder sister being poisoned has something to do with you?”

Patriarch Tang and Madam Tang stared at Li Yuxing with icy glares, scrutinizing him.

“How could that be!” Li Yuxing quickly denied, looking indignant at the false accusation. “Sister, 1 know you don’t like me! But how could you accuse me like this? Qi’er and 1 share a deep bond. Everyone has witnessed our relationship over the years. Why would 1 harm her? The reason I suspected Miss Gu is that so many imperial physicians failed to detect it, and 1 found it strange. If there’s a problem, shouldn’t it be raised?”

His words were logical and showed no signs of deception.

The Tang family members, recalling Li Yuxing’s previous conduct, dispelled their suspicions about him.

Indeed, over the past three years, Li Yuxing had conducted himself admirably.

Moreover, he had no apparent motive to harm Tang Shiqi.

However, standing not far away, Gu Qingluan held a contrary view compared to everyone else.

Her nose was exceptionally sensitive.

As Li Yuxing approached, she detected a faint, pungent odor.

It was the smell of wild chilies!

Wild chilies were a type of weed even spicier than regular chili peppers.

But this kind of weed was usually avoided by people, and Li Yuxing, a scholar in the Imperial Academy, shouldn’t have had any reason to come into contact with it.

Gu Qingluan observed the moisture in his eyes and formed a suspicion.

Initially, she hadn’t doubted this man, but now she found him highly suspicious.

However, Gu Qingluan chose not to voice her suspicions. Without evidence to prove that Li Yuxing was responsible for the poison in Tang Shiqi, voicing her doubts could potentially alert the wrongdoer.

She calmly replied, “Scholar Li need not compare me to those imperial physicians. After all, they couldn’t even save Miss Tang, so failing to detect her poisoning is understandable.”

Li Yuxing looked somewhat embarrassed and said, “Miss Gu is right. 1 was too agitated earlier, which offended Miss Gu. 1 hope you can forgive me. I genuinely didn’t expect Qi’er to be poisoned. She is my legal wife and the lady of this Li Mansion. 1 don’t even have a concubine or a servant girl in the house. Who would harm such a weak woman?”

“Yes, 1 heard that Miss Tang is gentle and kind-hearted, always getting along well with others. How could someone poison her?” Gu Qingluan gazed at him, her words laden with meaning. “If it’s not due to a grudge, could it be that she discovered something, and someone wanted to eliminate her as a witness?”

Li Yuxing’s expression changed slightly for a moment, but he quickly suppressed it, revealing a hint of anger on his delicate face. “Who could be so ruthless!?”

Although his reaction was swift, that momentary anomaly didn’t escape Gu Qingluan’s notice.

The three members of the Tang family were both shocked and furious upon hearing the conversation between the two.

They never expected Tang Shiqi to suffer such a fate.

Tang Shijun clenched his fist in anger. “If 1 catch the person who harmed my elder sister, 1 will personally take their life!”

“Curses upon them! Such a heartless poisoner must not be spared!” Tang’s wife added hoarsely..
