Chapter 377 - 377: Zhao Huan Drugged
Everyone had a different definition of happiness.
To these people, being able to become a good citizen, have a proper future, and have someone to back them was already a blessing.
There were also a few girls who had not found a husband to marry. They were so anxious that their faces were pale.
Han Qiao quickly called them over, “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it for you.”
On the day of Pucao and Dong Lai’s wedding, Han Qiao prepared ten tables for them, and the people in the manor warmly sent their blessings.
Han Qiao made them pay their respects to their parents.
“Husband and wife pay their respects and enter the bridal chamber.”
Waves of cheers could be heard.
The children crowded around Dong Lai, shouting loudly behind him and the bride.
Han Qiao and Heng Yi stood side by side, smiling.
“It’s so lively.” Han Qiao said.
After the two of them got married, Dong Lai and Pucao would follow them to Sanzhou Town.
She was worried about leaving Ah-Yao and Cheng’er to someone else. Pucao was especially patient, kind-hearted, diligent, kind, and gentle. The two children liked her too.
Especially Ah-Yao.
She has been there ever since he was young. Pucao was also his family to Ah-Yao.
“We’re doing well too.” Heng Yi whispered in Han Qiao’s ear.
Gentle and loving.
Han Qiao shivered.
This man was even better at sweet-talking after returning this time.
However, on the twenty-first day, Cheng’er suddenly had a high fever that night. Han Qiao was anxious.
Doctor Miao came over to take a look and said that he had eaten something bad.
“Why would he eat something bad? He ate the same things every day. Where were the people serving him? Where did they go?”
Han Qiao scolded angrily.
They were going to set off tomorrow morning, but Cheng’er had fallen sick.
Moreover, it was a stomachache that inflamed and turned into a fever.
Han Qiao looked at the sickly child on the bed and said coldly to the people in the room, “Investigate carefully. What did he come into contact with in the past two days?”
This was the first time the servant girls and old women had seen Han Qiao lose her temper. They were very afraid.
However, they didn’t think that Han Qiao would punish them.
At the end of the day, they all still felt that Han Qiao was kind and gentle and would not do anything to them.
“Cheng’er, tell me, what did you eat?”
“A servant girl forced me to eat a pill. She said that if I told Mother, I would die of a stomach rot.” He Cheng said softly.
Han Qiao clenched her fists tightly.
“Do you still recognize her?”
Cheng’er nodded.
All the maids and old women in the manor were gathered together, and He Cheng quickly pointed to one.
“Who is it?” Han Qiao called her over.
It was a servant girl who ran errands. Han Qiao didn’t even remember her name.
However, she was very nervous. After being restrained, she kept kowtowing.
“Madam, this servant knows her mistake, this servant knows her mistake! Yes, it was Madam Yun who asked this servant to do this. This servant will not dare to do it again.”
“Madam Yun?”
Han Qiao frowned.
The first person he thought of was Zhao Huan.
After a round of interrogation, it was indeed her.
She took a deep breath, “Men, beat the servant girls and old women who serve He Cheng twenty times and sell them far away.”
The people who served He Cheng were all old people from Puyi County. They knew He Cheng’s identity.
They took care of him, yet they still let Zhao Huan take advantage of their laziness.
“Please spare my life, Madam! Please spare my life, Madam!”
Someone crawled over but Han Qiao kicked her away.
“Prepare the carriage.”
Han Qiao led her men to the Yun family.
Heng Yi followed.
Master Yun wasn’t considered a direct descendant. He had some money, but he wasn’t considered very rich.
If even the head of the Yun family’s direct branch was respectful when he saw Han Qiao, let alone Master Yun.
“Marquis, Marchioness, why are you here?”
“Call Zhao Huan out.” Han Qiao said coldly.
Zhao Huan was quickly pulled out.
Han Qiao didn’t say anything else and went forward to slap her, “You’re a vicious woman.”
“He’s your biological son. Even if he wasn’t raised in front of you, you dared to poison him?”
“Who do you think you are to stretch your hand into the Marquis’ family?”
