Chapter 372 - Madam Wu
Chapter 372: Madam Wu
“Based on the amount of poison, it shouldn’t have been very long, probably less than two months.”
“What?”
Jiang Li was very surprised. The poison had already played such a big role in such a short period of time?
Old Master Fu’s face turned ashen when he heard it.
“This kind of poison must be continuously applied for a long time. Otherwise, it will be excreted by the body’s metabolism. Therefore, this kind of poison will usually be applied to three meals in a day. According to Old Master Fu’s symptoms, it seems that there is quite a lot of poison applied in one go.”
Jiang Li looked at Old Master Fu with a serious expression.
“Grandpa, who prepared your daily meals?”
Old Master Fu listened to the two young girls talk about each other so much. He roughly understood that someone had been thinking about his death since a long time ago.
Old Master Fu had lived for half his life, and this was the first time he experienced the feeling of being looked forward to dying by others. He let out a long sigh.
“It’s Madam Wu, but she has been working for the Fu family for decades and is very important to the Fu family. I have never mistreated her, so I don’t think it’s possible that it’s her.”
“We’ll find out when the time comes.”
The human heart was the hardest thing to guess. One day, the person closest to you might betray you. Was this not a common occurrence?
Old Master Fu was stunned. It sounded like Jiang Li was going to catch that person.
Jiang Li asked Ban Yue how to cure the poison.
Ban Yue said that the poison was only scary when it was acting up. It usually did not have much effect on people, as long as Old Master Fu did not come into contact with it again and took some mild medicine to clear the intestines and stomach.
However, if he continued to take it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Old Master Fu did not dare to refute it anymore. Jiang Li suggested going back to the Fu family’s old mansion with Old Master Fu at night, and Old Master Fu agreed.
Fu Jiuxiao was surprised to know that Jiang Li was going back to the Fu residence. Old Master Fu was Fu Jiuxiao’s biological father, so Jiang Li did not intend to hide it and told Fu Jiuxiao the truth.
After hearing it, Fu Jiuxiao frowned and pinched the space between his eyebrows.
Jiang Li sighed. There had been a lot of things going on recently, and everything was quite frustrating. Fu Jiuxiao must be very tired now.
“Old Master is right. Madam Wu will definitely not harm Old Master. Madam Wu worked in the Fu family when I was born, and she didn’t leave me for so many years. My mother wasn’t around when I was young, and she raised me.”
It was the first time Jiang Li heard Fu Jiuxiao talk about his mother, so she instinctively cleared her mind and kept an eye on Fu Jiuxiao’s emotions.
Fu Jiuxiao smiled and rubbed Jiang Li’s head.
“Don’t worry, I’m not that weak. My mother passed away when I was very young, so I don’t have much of an impression of her. Madam Wu, on the other hand, was very protective of me when I was young.”
Jiang Li thought that Madam Wu must be a very powerful person. Otherwise, how could she have raised a person like Fu Jiuxiao? From what Fu Jiuxiao said, this?Madam Wu could be considered half of his mother, right?
“Then why didn’t I see Auntie Wu before when I went to the old residence?”
“At that time, she went back to help take care of her grandchildren.”
“Oh, oh.”
It was no wonder. It seemed like Madam Wu already had grandchildren.
Jiang Li would definitely meet the eldest son’s family when she went back to the old residence. Fu Jiuxiao told Jiang Li to be careful, and there was no need to pay attention to them. The Old Master would stand on her side. If she was wronged, she had to tell Fu Jiuxiao about it.
Jiang Li replied, but Fu Jiuxiao did not know if it actually entered her brain.
Fu Jiuxiao sighed helplessly.
When Old Master Fu brought Jiang Li back to the old house, Fu Zhongtian and Li Shuwan were both very surprised.
“Yo, what brings sister-in-law here? Shouldn’t she be in the hospital with Jiuxiao right now?”
Li Shuwan’s words were very harsh, which made Old Master Fu glare at her unhappily.
“What are you talking about? Jiang Li is the daughter-in-law of the Fu family. She can live here without any problems, so why can’t she come here?”
As Old Master Fu spoke, he looked at Fu Zhongtian, who was obviously not in a good mental state,
“Don’t you know how to discipline your wife?”
Fu Zhongtian quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake and glared at Li Shuwan.
“Dad, don’t be angry. Shuwan is just dumb and doesn’t know how to speak.”
“Hmph!”
Old Master Fu walked into the hall with his walking stick and asked the butler to call the family doctor over.
Fu Zhongtian was a little confused when he heard that.
“Dad, are you not feeling well? Why did you call for the family doctor?”
Old Master Fu remembered what happened at the hospital this day. As soon as he mentioned this, and he could not help but get angry.
“Yeah, I’m going to die if I don’t see the family doctor now! People are looking forward to my death!”
“Dad, what do you mean by that? !”
Fu Zhongtian was a little shocked.. He did not understand what Old Master Fu meant, but Old Master Fu obviously did not want to explain too much.
