Chapter 1742: Is There a Medicine?Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong looked at Shao Qingyuan. "Is there a medicine that can stimulate people to become irritable and easily angry? They can’t control their temper at all?"

"Yes."

Shao Qingyuan instantly understood what she wanted to do. If they poisoned Han Ying with a drug that emitted a strange smell, although it might embarrass her in public, there were so many doctors present, especially someone like Qiao Jinshui. Anyone could find out what was going on with her by taking her pulse.

Marquis Pingnan was a marquis after all. He would definitely investigate if his daughter became like this. It would be easy to find out that the cup had been tampered with.

This meeting was organized by the Bai family. If the food and utensils were not clean, it would be the Bai family’s responsibility. When the time came, Bai Hang’s ability would be questioned.

However, if Han Ying had been drugged with another kind of medicine that made her irritable and threw a tantrum in front of so many people, they would at most think that this person had been spoiled and had no upbringing. It was a personal problem for her and even the marquis family, so they would not push the responsibility to Bai Hang.

He led Gu Yundong and Shao Wen to another room. The door of this room was locked, and Shao Wu was standing guard outside.

This room was temporarily used by Shao Qingyuan to store things. There were also some herbs inside, so it was easy to concoct them on the spot.

At this moment, there were more and more people in the courtyard. The hall was gradually filled with people, and the rooms on the second floor were almost full.

The guests in the room were all famous figures from the prefectural city or other towns. They needed invitations to come.

At this moment, most of the people had arrived, so Bai Hang arranged for someone to serve tea and snacks to everyone.

There were many people here today, so there were also many maids and servants. Some of them were originally servants of the Shao Residence, and some were arranged by Prefecture Magistrate Dai.

And the person who had been bribed by Han Ying to cause trouble for Gu Yundong was a servant arranged by the prefecture magistrate.

This person had already been locked up by Shao Wen. After the meeting ended, he would naturally hand him over to the prefecture magistrate.

As the refreshments were served, an inconspicuous-looking maidservant lowered her head and carried a tray into the private room where the marquis family was.

The maidservant secretly looked up. Only Marquis Pingnan, Han Yao, and Han Ying were in the room.

Marquis Pingnan had just cured the poison not long ago. He was very thin and weak, and his face was pale. He did not look energetic.

There was a single couch in the private room. He was lying there with his eyes closed. A servant was fanning him and feeding him water. He looked like he was enjoying it.

As for the marquis family’s heir, Han Yao, he sat by the window. From time to time, his gaze would fall on the doctors below the building, and from time to time, he would look at the other private rooms. Some of the private rooms had their windows open, while others were tightly closed.

However, looking at Han Yao’s expression, he was not very interested in those who opened the window and revealed their faces. Occasionally, he would pout in disdain.

Han Ying sat opposite him, playing with a tape tied to a jade pendant in boredom.

After a while, she suddenly said impatiently, "Brother, close the window. What’s there to see? Young Master Shao and his wife aren’t down there."

"Shut up." Han Yao glanced at the maidservant who delivered the refreshments.

The maid pretended not to hear her and obediently poured the tea into the cup in front of Han Ying.

Then, she put down the teapot and lowered her head respectfully before leaving.

Before she closed the door, she saw Han Ying, who had become impatient after being reprimanded by her brother, pick up the teacup and drink it.
