Chapter 297: Poisoning the Medicine

ked at his elder brother, who was obediently staying by his sister-in-law's side, with an expression of disbelief.Even the eldest brother, who was usually big and rough, could be so considerate.But se...Chunlan's heart skipped a beat. Only then did she realize that she had blurted out the truth in her haste.

She quickly followed up, "So, you mean this"

"No matter what you say, I didn't do it. I have nothing and am penniless. To protect the Wang village head and his family, you actually smear me like this."

"I, I'd rather be dead." Chunlan began to sob again.

Autumn Chrysanthemum on the side became a bit anxious.

"Jinxiu elder sister, are you mistaken How could Chunlan drug Wang Tiezhu We don't even have enough to eat, and we haven't left the village a single step. Where could we possibly get medicine"

Although Qiuju was speaking up for Chunlan, she kept saying "medicine on the left, medicine on the right," which made Chunlan grit her teeth in frustration and wished she could sew Qiuju's mouth shut immediately.

She desperately tried to steer clear of the word, diverting everyone's attention elsewhere. This damned Qiu Ju wouldn't speak of anything else but that medicine! Had she secretly defected to Fang Jinshu already Was this all a deliberate plot to harm her!

Fang Jinshi was very happy to see this, smiling and looking at Qiuju.

"Well said, Qiujing. Actually, some medicinal herbs can be found right on our mountain. It's just that the villagers don't recognize them or understand their medicinal properties."

"Chunlan understood, so she didn't need to go out and buy medicine at all."

"Walk a few hundred meters west into the woods from the foot of the mountain, in some deeper areas, there grows a medicinal herb called Sanzhijiuyeca among the shrubs."

"You guys probably don't have much of an impression when I say this, but this herb also has a very famous name."

Fang Jinshi curled her lips into a smile and, looking at Chunlan's increasingly pale complexion, opened her mouth to speak.

Also known as Epimedium.

Hearing this name, the villagers' expressions changed. They didn't need Fang Jinshu to explain; they were all familiar with Epimedium.

"This isn't something they keep around here to cheer people up, is it"

When the women heard the three words "Epimedium," their eyes looking at Chunlan changed.

"Bah! So you're a lowlife scum, a prostitute from the brothel!"

Only those with dubious reputations use Epimedium, especially in brothels. The name of this herb is familiar to anyone who has been around for a while.

Only some young children in the village don't know what epimedium is.

This thing is a synonym for Viagra.

"Good heavens! So you really are a shameless vixen!"

"Trash that's ridden by a thousand and slept on by ten thousand, do you think you can enter our Wang family Bah! Even if my son never marries in his life, he wouldn't marry someone like you!"

Chunlan was already dumbfounded. She shook her head frantically, explaining, "No, I'm not a prostitute, I'm a good girl from a respectable family!"

"I'm not a prostitute!"

Qiu Ju was also dumbfounded. Jinxiu sister wasn't here to save Chunlan, so why did things turn out this way

Chulan grabbed Qiujue's arm, as if she had grasped a life raft, and shouted at her.

"Qiuju has lived next door to me since I was a child, she can testify that I am definitely not a prostitute in the building."

"Qiuju, Qiuju, speak up quickly!"

"Are you secretly siding with Fang Jinshu and deliberately trying to harm me" Chunlan had completely lost her reason at this point.

He grabbed Qiuju and shouted loudly.

Autumn Chrysanthemum endured the pain and shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "No, Spring Orchid, I didn't. How could I possibly do such a thing to you"

Even if I really went to join Elder Sister Jinxiu, I would definitely bring yours. I only went up the mountain to find Elder Sister Jinxiu to save you and give you justice because I saw that the Wang family was making things difficult for you.

Chunlan shoved her hard, as if she had been provoked.

"You called her to save me What do you think you're doing!"

"Haven't you heard Fang Jinxiu and I have long since fallen out! Do you think she's here to help me She's trying to ruin me!"

Autumn Chrysanthemum cried and shook her head, but a thing in her heart, the balance still tilted towards Fang Jinshu's words.

"Chunlan, tell me the truth. Did Wang Tiezhu take advantage of you, or..." Her voice trembled, her heart refusing to believe that her best friend would do such a thing.

"Still you, you really drugged him."is.Now it seems, at least Zhao Xingzhou is still different from them."Let's go."She got into Zhao Xingzhou's carriage, letting Tiezhu go back to Li's house first and wait. Zongyu, of course, followed...
