Sang Xin admitted that he no longer had any desires and was not afraid of Lin Yi's revenge. Lin Yi was also embarrassed to stay behind.
"Then rest well, and find me if you need anything." Step three turned and walked away.
"This person …" Seeing him walk away, Sang Xin could not help but sneer.
Su Mu sat on the edge of the bed and shook his legs. He looked at his tightly wrapped feet and felt a little worried. Was he going to hide in the house to mold and grow mushrooms?
Su Mu attempted to tap the ground with his toes and a bone-piercing pain came from it.
When Sang Xin saw this, he slapped Su Mu's back and said, "You're fine. Why are you wasting yourself? Lie down and rest."
Su Mu cutely smiled and laid down on the bed. Seeing that Sang Xin seemed to really want to use the medicine, he said with worry, "Sister Zi Yu, do you really know how to use the medicine?"
Sang Xin paused for a moment before he shrugged. She just didn't want Lin Yi to be so attentive towards Su Mu. She really didn't know how to use medicine.
Su Mu held his forehead and said, "You should also rest. Just leave the medicinal herbs to the servants."
Sang Xin refused to admit defeat. Su Mu made her build a fire in the courtyard. After stubbornly fighting for less than half an incense stick of time, Sang Xin gave up and ran to the kitchen to find a chef.
As Su Mu looked at Sang Xin, he could not help but feel sympathy for her. They were all daughters of rich families, so there was no need to learn these things. The ones they dealt with the most were the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. People like Su Mu, who looked at files during their free time, were already considered strange.
Before the Su Clan's fall, Su Mu had never thought that he would lead such a life. In Wu City, it was all thanks to Lin Yi. No one dared to question her identity. If she were to leave him, who knew how far she would fall.
In a trance, Su Mu fell asleep.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of dishes shattering. Su Mu was shocked. When she opened her eyes, she found that a puppy had entered her room and knocked over medicine and dinner. The food and medicine had been mixed together and spread out on the floor.
Su Mu had been busy with the matter of capturing the culprit tonight, so he didn't have time for dinner. It was probably because Sang Xin told the chef that the culprit was brought over along with the medicine.
Perhaps the fragrance of the meat had attracted the dog, but Su Mu didn't mind. He chased it away a few times, but the puppy ignored it and continued to bite the chicken leg that was stained with medicine.
Su Mu didn't have anything he could use to chase a dog, so he could only call out to Sang Xin. However, Sang Xin had nowhere to go and didn't reply. Instead, it was Lin Yi who rushed over.
"What's wrong?" The person had yet to enter the door, but his voice transmitted over first.
Su Mu pointed at the dog and said, "A dog entered the room." Su Mu was not afraid of dogs, but he also did not like being in the same room as dogs of unknown origins.
Lin Yi laughed and began chasing the dog. As he was in a rush, the puppy suddenly fell down, foaming at the mouth. Its body couldn't stop convulsing, and after a while, the dog completely stopped moving.
The smile on Lin Yi's face immediately vanished as he stepped forward to check the dog's breath. In just a moment, the little mutt died in Su Mu's room.
Sang Xin walked in frantically from outside. Lin Yi stood in front of her, covering the dog. She could only see the food that fell to the ground and Su Mu's solemn expression. "What happened?"
Lin Yi turned around, revealing the terrifyingly small dog. He asked with suspicion, "Where did you go?"
Sang Xin sucked in a breath of cold air. He understood that the matter was not simple, so he ignored the doubt in Lin Yi's tone and honestly replied, "I went to the toilet, but I remember that I closed the door. Although it was unlocked, a dog shouldn't be able to open the door."
Su Mu believed in Sang Xin, allowing him to relax.
Sang Xin felt a lingering fear in his heart. If it wasn't for this dog, Su Mu would have been killed by her. Why would he need to go to the toilet? Sang Xin wanted to slap himself.
"You guys sleep first. We'll talk tomorrow if you have anything to say." Lin Yi squatted on the ground and collected the food and medicine, then brought along the dead dog and the leftover medicinal dregs from the kitchen. He spent the night finding another doctor and ordered him to find the source of the poison.
Sang Xin cleaned up the place and sat on the bedside. He held Su Mu's hand and refused to leave Su Mu's side for a moment. After Su Mu tried to persuade him, Sang Xin got up and checked the door and windows.
There were people who were in a hurry, but they couldn't force Sang Xin to hold his breath. Even if the door wasn't shut properly, the murderer still had other methods to deal with it. He had to thank Sang Xin for not closing the door tightly in order to let the little mutt in and help Su Mu escape this calamity.
Su Mu comforted Sang Xin so much that she closed her eyes to stop herself from tossing and turning. As for how she slept, Su Mu couldn't control it either.
The next morning, Lin Yi came to find Su Mu and said: "The problem is the decocted medicine, there will be no problems with the dregs. The drug used by the murderer is called the gunpowder, which is also called strychnine. The victim will be extremely excited and die from spasms all over his body. "
"Who wants my life?" Su Mu muttered to himself. Su Shao was impartial and had offended a lot of people, and there were many who took advantage of the Su Clan after they fell, but there weren't many who knew that she was in Wu City. Moreover, if the people in the capital wanted her life, they could have told the Yan Clan where she was, and there wouldn't be a need to spend so much effort.
The people in the capital weren't very strict on her capture. On one hand, it would take a lot of effort to find her. On the other hand, in their eyes, a girl wouldn't be able to pull any tricks. For the same reason, unless one had a deep grudge against her, who would dare to make a move against her?
Su Mu excluded the people in the capital and started to consider who he had offended after leaving the capital. When she thought about it, she realized that three of the murderers had died in her hands. Who knew if their relatives and friends would resent her. Thus, her thoughts became a mess. Su Mu rubbed his forehead, thinking about how this really hurt his body.
Don't even think about it, there will always be some slip ups. With me by your side, he won't have a chance to make a move." "Today is the day of the human face trial, would you like to take a look?
Su Mu shook his head. Her feet were too inconvenient.
"I've prepared a good item for you." Lin Yi said in a mysterious tone. He turned around and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, "Whose wheelchair is left in this place to block the road?"
Lin Yi gritted his teeth as he walked out, bringing the wheelchair in. "Try it, is it suitable?"
Lin Yi wanted to hug Su Mu, but Su Mu refused, "Just hold me."
This wheelchair was probably newly made. The fragrance of the bamboo had yet to dissipate. Su Mu sat on it and tried it out. It was quite comfortable.
"Originally, I wanted to use the Pear Blossom Wood, but I couldn't find it in the middle of the night. So I could only use the bamboo for now." Lin Yi stood behind Su Mu and pushed the wheelchair out.
Su Mu's heart warmed up. Although this wheelchair was simple, it was rushed out in one night. Lin Yi did not have the time to sleep: "You're very considerate."
The sunlight outside the door was just right, and it felt warm as it shone on his body.
