Suddenly, his eyes swept across the plate with the spoon. He reached out and picked up the top one, then looked closer. The white ceramic spoon was covered in a thin layer of powder.

Suddenly, he thought of the night before he went on a business trip. Sister Zhang cut the apple and brought it to him. Shu said it was astringent and thought it was a knife that hadn't been wiped clean, so he gave up. He ate it then as soon as he arrived in Shenzhen.

If he had been a little more cautious back then, he wouldn't have ended up like this now. In the end, he had been too careless.

The sound of the door opening came from outside. Chef Shen and Ah Ju had arrived together.

"Young Master, you're back." Chef Shen was a rough, middle-aged man. After experiencing that bloody scene yesterday, he was already a little afraid. After a night of not sleeping well, he was thinking of his Young Mistress and had rushed over as soon as he received Ling Qiao's call.

So was Ah Ju. Although she was afraid of her young master's scolding, even if she hid somewhere, the nanny company would find her. They were responsible for the young mistress' miscarriage, so she couldn't shirk it. Ah Ju took a look and said, "Sister Zhang, you're so slow today. She's usually the first one to arrive."

Ling Qiao's face darkened. He already had a rough idea of what was going on. "Ah Ju, what have you fed Young Mistress in the past few days?"

"There's nothing special about it. It's about the same as before you went on a business trip. We pay special attention to Young Mistress's diet. Young Master, could it be that Young Mistress has eaten something unclean? "That's impossible …"

Speaking of food, Chef Shen defended himself, "Young Master, I have always been an upright person in my life. Young Mistress' diet is entirely based on the list of pregnant women, and I've only made more food for her with balanced nutrition. If there's a problem with my diet, it's my responsibility, but we all eat together, everything's fine."

Ling Qiao patted Chef Shen's shoulder and said, "Don't be agitated, I don't doubt you. I'm just asking if she's still in the hospital and that the child she lost was my child. I hope you can understand."

Chef Shen nodded. 'One more thing to understand. No matter who it was, they would want to know more about this matter.

"Could it be the fruit snacks?" Ah Ju suddenly thought of it, "Sister Zhang actually knows how to make some sweet pastries, and Young Mistress also loves to eat them. The fruits she bought are all fresh in the season, so Sister Zhang has experience. She said eating more fruits is better for the fetus."

Ling Qiao glanced at the door, "Why isn't Sister Zhang here yet?" The doubt in his heart was practically certain.

Ah Ju shook her head, "I don't know. She's usually pretty early. How about I try calling her on her cell phone?"

Ling Qiao gave a slight nod, and Ah Ju went to the side to make a call. Aunt Zhang's cell phone rang, but no one answered for a long time.

"Young Master, Sister Zhang might be on her way."

Ling Qiao could not wait any longer, and ordered, "I already know what to do. Go home first, I'll contact you guys when I have something to do. Young Mistress is in the hospital, so there's nothing to take care of at home."

"Alright." The two of them spoke in unison.

Since it was confirmed to be sister-in-law Zhang, he definitely wouldn't let this matter go easily. He went to the nanny company to check on her background, and only then did the people from the nanny company stammeringly explain that she was a new recruit. The company only recorded that she was a worker for many years, nothing else.

Ling Qiao promptly called the police, he could not let ShuShu Bai suffer this kind of suffering.

After tossing and turning for the better part of the day, when he returned to the hospital, Ling Qiao saw Shu Shu Shu sitting up against the bed, with no trace of his usual spirit in his eyes. She was in a daze, and he quickly stepped forward, holding her hand and asked: "Wife, why are you sitting up? Can I sit now? "

Shu Shu smiled. "Sure, it was the nurse who helped me up. I will lie down after a while." She had calmed down quite a bit and also calmed down quite a bit. "Mom and Dad came over and even brought some things over."

"Mom didn't make things difficult for you?"

"Nope."

Ling Qiao understood that he would not know what her mother was thinking, so Shu Shu must be feeling wronged again. "No matter what my mother says, just ignore it …" Hungry? "

Shu Shu shook her head. Ling Qiao stretched out his hand to stroke her messy hair, "If you're not hungry, then don't eat. If you're hungry, then tell me. I'll get you anything you want to eat."

It was just that she hadn't seen her for a week. She had lost a lot of weight. She had been raised to a round shape, but now she was even thinner than before. She was so thin that it was heartbreaking.

Shu Shu looked at him with his haggard and weathered face. His beard was unkempt, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had aged ten years in one night. "Hubby, I want to lie down."

"Alright, I'll hug you …"

After lying down, she pulled on Ling Qiao's arm, "Let's go together."

Ling Qiao hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Okay, but I'll go wash first, so that my beard won't hurt you."

"Alright."

After getting the nurse to help him buy some cleaning tools such as a razor, toothpaste and toothbrush, Ling Qiao had a quick wash in the bathroom of the ward.

The two of them slept in each other's embrace. Shu Shu laid on Ling Qiao's arm in the crook of his arm, thinking about children. They still wanted to cry, but they would have children in the future, for sure.

She found a glass jar, washed it clean, and placed the lavender on the bedside table. It was a light purple, hazy, and exuded a light fragrance.

Now that she saw Tang Rou again, Shu Shu felt uneasy. "Sister Qing, you can't even take care of your dancing class, and you still have to come to the hospital to see me. I'm really sorry."

"There's nothing to feel sorry for. Ling Qiao and I grew up together, and we are like family. Visiting you is only a right thing to do, are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, much better." She could hear that Tang Shuqing's tone was still that weird, as if her words were hiding words to show that she and Ling Qiao were close. However, she didn't want to get into a moment of bravado, as if everything would go for Ling Qiao's sake, so she respected her and thanked her as well.

Ling Qiao took some fruits out from the cupboard, which included round osmanthus and oranges, "Qingqing, take whatever you want to eat. There are so many fruits here that you can open a fruit supermarket." Although all visits from relatives and friends were declined, the doctors and nurses in the hospital would always send some over. Whether it was luck or bad luck, the couple often came into contact with the hospital, which made a lot of the doctors and nurses familiar with each other.

Tang Thirty-Six only peeled a cinnamon bun to eat, meaning.

"I heard aunty say that you have a low birth because you ate an unclean food. Why aren't you paying attention?"

Shu Shu lowered her eyes, not knowing how to reply. On the other hand, Ling Qiao said without a care, "The babysitter's hands and feet are not clean, they have already been reported to the police."

At this point, Shu Shu suddenly had a heart attack, her forehead was covered in sweat, she had never thought that the usually considerate Sister Zhang was actually the one who gave her the aloe vera powder, and she also foolishly listened to Aunt Zhang's advice to not go to the hospital to check, she was just too trusting.

The current her was like a frightened bird, and she felt a lingering fear whenever she thought of it.

"Yes, let the police investigate. This servant's hands and feet are not clean, that's scary." "Ling Qiao, take good care of ShuShu. I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first."

"Mm, take care, I won't send you off."

"Why are you being so polite to me? The driver drove me here and was waiting for me downstairs."

"Alright, then I'll see you later."

"Mm, let's accompany ShuShu. There's no need to come out."

Only the couple were left in the ward. After Ling Qiao took a nap at noon, his complexion seemed much better.

He had taken the initiative to change the pads and blood, but it was much less than last night. He brought her hot water and said it was not comfortable to wash her, that she was covered in blood.

Shushu was unwilling. "Hubby, it's better to let the nurse handle this kind of thing. If you're willing, I'm not."

"Why are you unwilling? Have I not seen it before?"

Shu Shu blushed. "It's very dirty. I don't want to show it to you."

Ling Qiao sighed, not wanting to argue with her. "Okay, I will have the nurse help you clean up. After washing up, you will feel better, and it will also help you recover from your injuries."

"Un, hubby, I'm really a bit hungry now. I want to eat some dishes that I know well, anything is fine. Can you help me order some, please?"

"Alright, you only know how to send me off." Ling Qiao bent down to kiss her forehead, gently consoling his, "Don't take Aunt Zhang's matter to heart, I will take care of it myself. I saw how scared you were just now, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Mm, I'm not afraid. Go quickly, I'm hungry."

"Understood, I'll bring you sweet and sour squirrel and cinnamon fish. We both love to eat, do you want another stew with pig feet?"

"I want it, I like it the most. I want it red-braised."

Ling Qiao shook his head helplessly. "You foodie, when it comes to food, you're in high spirits."

"Mm, go quickly."

The police quickly sent them news. Mrs. Zhang had admitted to it, and she was very straightforward with it. Ling Qiao told the police to continue investigating. There must be a secret behind it. They had no feud with her, so how could she use such a malicious method to poison Shu Shu?

After being discharged from the hospital, Ling Qiao brought Shu Shu back home. Although he was worried that Shu Shu Shu would suffer from her mother's displeasure, his family was still numerous. With his grandma's protection and trusted servants serving him, he felt more at ease.

Granny Ling was sad for a while, but when she saw Shu Shu's pale and haggard face, she held her hand and said, "Good child, it's alright. Take care of your body. The child will have one in the future."

After hearing her grandmother's consolation, Shu Shu's heart was finally able to relax. The only people she could not face were Ling Qiao and her grandmother.

Under the Ling Family's meticulous care, Shu Shu's body gradually recovered. Since she was living in the Ling Family, it was hard to avoid meeting with Tang Siqing often. She busied herself with her dancing class, but in her busy life, she would find time to come over and chat with her grandma and Hu Xin.

Every time Tang Qing returned, Shu always found an excuse to return to her room to rest. Thinking about it, Ling Qiao was still right. It was better that she didn't know about this matter, but she knew about it now, so she felt that she was apologetic.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. "Come in. The door isn't locked."

When the door opened, Tang Qingqing walked in with a smile. "Are you alright?"

Shu Shu stared blankly for a moment before smiling, "Sister Qing, I'm fine again. Come in and have a seat." "I'll get you some tea."

"No need, I just finished my tea with grandma, I just wanted to chat with you for a while."

"Oh, okay. Anyway, I have nothing better to do."
