Bab 223: Have We Met Before?

"Have you figured out who poisoned Mrs Ning?" Feng Wu asked.

Granny Qu looked troubled. They still hadn't found out yet.

Feng Wu smiled. "I didn't tell you this before, but Mrs Ning is suffering from a slow poison that was only set off after childbirth. If I've guessed right, the pale pink tulips in the tent —"

Granny Qu's eyes lit up!

She finally saw the light!

"Xiaojing brought back those tulips and put them in a vase. She made sure to set them on the bedside table, saying that the fragrance would help the lady and the babies sleep. She was right. The flowers did indeed calm both babies down…" Granny Qu pondered. "Xiaojing isn't a domestic servant of the family, but was brought in as a maid a while ago. If there's one person that wants the lady and the babies dead, it has to be Madam Chu, our master's concubine!"

Feng Wu was aware that this was the Ning family's household affair. She only said this much for Feng Xun's sake.
