No, no, this is clearly not her medicine. Although her medicine is also Joyful Powder, hers is in a green bottle, not a red one.
Qing He instantly recalled that when she was coming, a servant accidentally bumped into her. Could it have been put on her then?
She immediately knelt down, crying, "Young Master, Madam, this servant is being wronged. This medicine is really not mine. When I came, someone bumped into me. It must be that someone put it on me then. Even if you lent me ten guts, I would not dare to harm the master. Please, Young Master, see clearly."
Shen Juncheng feigned surprise and said, "Chao Sheng, what is going on here?"
He couldn't see, so he 'didn't know' the medicine fell from Qing He's person, and had to appear surprised.
Chao Sheng stepped forward and replied, "Young Master, a medicine bottle just fell from Qing He. Doctor Lu opened it and confirmed without a doubt that it is Joyful Powder. Young Master, Qing He is the one who drugged."
"What!" Shen Juncheng was so startled that he stepped back, "How could it be, how could it be Qing He? Aunt has always been very fond of me, hasn't she? How could she, knowing full well of my condition, let Qing He drug me?"
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
Shen Juncheng appeared to be unable to endure the blow and began to cough again. That look truly evoked sympathy.
Blindness aside, he still trusts his aunt so much, and yet your aunt wants to harm you, silly child.
Among the relatives, not all were opportunistic. Some felt uneasy at heart and offered a word of comfort, but they couldn't offend Madam Liu, so they attempted to smooth things over by saying, "Could there be some misunderstanding here? Young Master, don't get agitated, take care of your body."
Shen Juncheng's face was flushed red from coughing, "Aunt, Aunt, where are you?"
At this moment, Madam Liu looked at Shen Juncheng with sinister eyes.
She naturally also remembered Qing He being bumped upon arrival.
No wonder he so easily said not to search bodies earlier. So he had this trick up his sleeve.
Careless indeed, this sickly person is so meticulous, he predicted this step.
Glancing at Qing He, Madam Liu cursed silently; this girl is truly foolish. She didn't even realize someone stuffed something on her. It seems she cannot be kept.
"Cheng'er, Aunt is here," she appeared even more astonished than Shen Juncheng, "How could Aunt harm you? You must believe in Aunt. It's this maid with ill intentions. Aunt really misjudged the person."
"Rest assured, Aunt will definitely stand up for you."
With that, she switched to a furious expression, "Qing He, why would you do this? This Madam has always treated you well, why would you do this, putting me in such an unkind and unjust position."
"Is it because I had thought of appointing you to serve the Young Master and you didn't want to, so you planned to kill him instead?"
Madam Liu casually fabricated a motive for Qing He.
"No, it's not like that, Madam, this servant is wronged, I really didn't drug him, oh, Young Madam, Young Madam can testify for me, I really don't have this kind of medicine…"
Unfortunately, the Young Madam is currently 'sleeping', no one to testify for her.
Even if she awoke, how would she explain the medicine that fell so evidently from her? People might suspect they are in collusion.
Madam Liu thought to herself what a fool, she was so infuriated that she flicked her sleeves, "Say no more, you have truly disappointed this Madam. Someone, Qing He intended to harm her master, she defied above, drag her out, and beat her to death with sticks."
