Han Yunxi leisurely drank a cup of tea before opening her mouth, "Father did tell me something."
When she said this, even Seventh Madame, who had her head lowered, looked up. Her brows were tightly knit, looking very worried.
Madame Li was very calm, but Han Ruoxue and Madame Xu were both very nervous.
Of course, the most nervous person was Han Yuqi. He couldn't wait to blurt out, "What is it?"
"Something big." Han Yunxi's tone became heavy, which made Han Yuqi even more nervous. He forgot to investigate the truth and unconsciously leaned forward, anxiously asking, "What big thing?"
"Father said that the storehouse key will be temporarily given to me for safekeeping. When there's a suitable candidate for the head of the household, I'll hand over the key. During this time, he hopes that the young masters and misses of each branch will concentrate on studying medicine and won't have too many utilitarian thoughts."
When she said this, Han Yuqi's eyes turned cold and he angrily said, "Impossible! You're lying! "
He knew that Han Yunxi would definitely find an excuse like this. But if he wanted to fool everyone present, he was too naive!
How could Father do this?
Not to mention that Father went to prison because of her, even before he went to prison, the person Father disliked the most was this young miss!
Even if Father didn't have any intention of appointing another head of the household, he couldn't possibly entrust the storehouse key to Han Yunxi! Who did she think she was!
"Esteemed wangfei, it's not appropriate to say these words without evidence." Madame Xu's voice also turned cold.
On the side, Han Ruoxue also couldn't help it. Han Yunxi's words were simply a joke to her.
"Esteemed wangfei, this kind of joke isn't funny at all. How about you go to the Supreme Court and let everyone see Father. Otherwise … even if we believe you, the people in the clan won't believe you! "
Han Ruoxue's words were very direct. This time, Madame Li didn't stop her.
Han Yuqi quickly agreed, "That's right! Qin Wangfei, if you have the ability, then go to the Supreme Court and make an exception and let us see Father! Otherwise, we definitely won't believe you! "
"That's right, Princess Consort. I've heard that life imprisonment isn't that strict. You're allowed to visit once or twice a year. I can't do that. Many people can't see Old Master. Maybe there's someone from above. If you can make an exception, it shouldn't be a problem, right? "Madam Xu couldn't wait to ask.
"Esteemed Wangfei, of course we believe you. However, this is a big matter after all. You just said that Master is only in prison. He's still here. In my opinion, it's more appropriate to let the young masters and young misses meet with the old master. That way, you won't be the subject of gossip. "Madam Li's words were always so beautiful.
Han Yunxi nodded. Very good. The second branch and the third branch were finally on the same side.
Everyone was waiting for Han Yunxi to speak. They thought that she would refuse due to her guilty conscience, but who would have thought that Han Yunxi would actually nod her head. "Alright, then this princess will immediately handle this matter when I return and arrange for my husband to meet with you as soon as possible."
She said it so casually, as if she was saying that the weather was good.
For a moment, everyone present was stunned and revealed an incredulous expression. Even the silent Seventh Madame was shocked. They … they didn't hear wrongly, right?
Han Yunxi had forbidden them from visiting because she didn't understand the Han Family's situation or Han Yunyi. She was afraid that if the Han Family met with Han Congan and talked too much, it'd affect how she supported the head of the Han Family.
Now, it was proven that she and little Yi 'er hit it off the best. She had long decided on a candidate. At this time, she wasn't afraid of the Han Family meeting Han Congan.
She couldn't wait for them to meet him so that they wouldn't cause her trouble in the future.
Today, she came to the Han Family to see little Yi 'er and relax. She didn't expect Madam Xu to be so impatient to ask her for the storeroom key.
That's good too. I'll settle this matter as soon as possible and focus on the General's Estate.
Han Yunxi finished the tea in her cup, put down little Yi 'er, and stood up lazily. Since the matter was settled, she should go back.
Unexpectedly, just as she stood up, a northwest wind blew and the detoxification system suddenly issued an alarm. "Beep, beep, beep."
There's poison!
The detoxification system's sudden warning surprised Han Yunxi and she froze.
However, after a moment, the wind stopped and the detoxification system's alarm was immediately removed.
Based on the frequency of the detoxification system's warning, the poison was very close to her. However, she had been sitting here for so long. Why did the detoxification system only warn her now? Why did the wind only warn her now?
Without a doubt, the northwest wind had blown the poison over. The wind had a poisonous smell!
Generally speaking, only extremely toxic poisons would be blown by the wind and their smell would remain in the wind.
The smell would disappear very quickly in the wind. If it could be detected, it meant that the source of the poison wasn't far from her.
Thinking of this, Han Yunxi abruptly turned to look at the northwest corner of the courtyard. There was a small wooden hut in the northwest corner of the courtyard. There were no windows and the door was locked from the outside.
Could it be there?
However, it wasn't too far away and didn't exceed the detection range of the detoxification system. Could it be that the amount of poison there was so little that the wind had to carry the smell of the poison over in order to detect it?
Han Yunxi's curiosity was completely aroused. How could there be poison in Third Madame's courtyard? Since it was stored in the wooden hut, why was there so little poison? What kind of poison was stored in there?
She subconsciously wanted to walk over. Unexpectedly, Third Madame suddenly stood up and called out, "Esteemed Princess Consort, what are you looking at?"
Han Yunxi finally regained her senses. She hesitated for a moment but didn't say anything. She smiled and said, "Nothing."
Although it was nothing, she still walked over with large strides. Third Madame's eyes flashed with vigilance, but she didn't stop her.
Han Yunxi arrived in front of the wooden hut and officially activated the detoxification system's scan. This scan was incredible!
Heavens!
It was actually snake venom!
Han Yunxi's heartbeat sped up. The detoxification system further analyzed and quickly identified three snake venoms. Although they weren't the three rarest snake venoms in the Ten-Thousand Snake Venom formula, they were three of the other seven snake venoms!
Han Yunxi's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. It was impossible to say that she didn't have any suspicions!
She never thought that she would find snake venom here. How could it be so coincidental?
What else was hidden in this wooden hut?
Based on the amount of poison that was detected, it was very little. It was highly likely that it was residual poison powder. If she didn't have the detoxification system, even if she went in to investigate, she might not be able to detect it.
With this amount, if it was hidden in a person's body or in water, it might not be detected and it might not be life-threatening. However, if it was placed in the form of poison powder, it still couldn't escape the detoxification system's "Fiery Eyes of Truth".
Han Yunxi wasn't willing to give up and checked again. However, other than the three snake venoms, there was nothing else!
Everyone was puzzled when they saw her standing motionless at the door.
Third Concubine's hands, which were hidden in her sleeves, gradually clenched into fists. That place was where she usually concocted poisons. However, she had instructed the servants to dispose of all the poisons a few days ago and tidy up all the medicine cabinets. Why would Han Yunxi be suspicious of this place?
Han Yunxi had cured the young general's poison and confirmed that it was a slow-acting poison. The general's estate would definitely ferret out the culprit who'd poisoned him. Could it be that Han Yunxi was helping them find the culprit as well?
Even if that was the case, Han Yunxi, that damned girl, knew how to detoxify poisons. Could it be that she also knew how to detect poisons?
Taking a step back, even if she knew how to detect poisons, even if there was poison in the hut, she had no reason to suspect her for no reason. She had no reason to be interested in this wooden hut!
Thinking of this, Third Concubine clenched her fists. She thought that she must be overthinking things. Han Yunxi was just purely interested in this wooden hut.
She had always been very calm and couldn't lose her composure.
"Esteemed wangfei, what are you doing?" Han Ruoxue asked. This little hut was where her mother usually learned how to concoct medicine. It was really strange. Why was Han Yunxi suddenly interested in this hut?
Han Yunxi finally turned her head and looked over. Her gaze inadvertently swept over Third Concubine, but it didn't linger. She smiled faintly and said, "I see that this wooden hut is exquisitely built. I quite like it."
When these words came out, Third Concubine's heart finally relaxed. She knew that she was overthinking things.
Han Ruoxue was about to speak when Third Concubine beat her to it. "Esteemed wangfei, this hut is my pharmacy. It was built a few years ago."
So it was a pharmacy!
The Han Family was a medical family. Their children all had to learn medicine. The concubines who married into the Han Family more or less also had to learn medicine. Most of them studied pharmacology, identifying medicine, and concocting medicine.
As Third Concubine spoke, she walked over. "Since esteemed wangfei likes it, why don't you go in and take a look? Master saw my hut before and also liked it very much."
Han Yunxi was suspicious of Third Concubine. Who knew that Third Concubine would be so calm? It was really interesting.
A complicated look flashed across her eyes. She smiled. "Then let's go in and take a look."
As soon as the small wooden hut opened, the smell of medicinal herbs rushed out. The space inside wasn't big. There were two rows of medicine cabinets on the left and right. In the middle was a long square table and a stove for boiling medicine. Everything was neatly arranged and very clean.
Han Yunxi walked in and casually opened a few drawers. She found that there really were medicinal herbs inside. She walked slowly and quietly activated the detoxification system to slowly search for the specific location of the three snake poisons.
The small wooden hut was too small. Everyone else was watching from the door. Only Third Concubine personally followed in. She walked behind Han Yunxi. Her steps were slow and composed.
However, not long after, Han Yunxi stopped and gently pressed on a drawer in front of her.
Seeing this, Third Concubine's heart suddenly jumped. She remembered very clearly that this drawer stored a type of snake poison.
As Han Yunxi slowly pulled open the drawer, Third Concubine's heartbeat sped up again.
Of course, there was no snake poison in the drawer. There were other medicinal herbs. However, she didn't know why, but she felt guilty for no reason.
Medicinal herbs?
Han Yunxi's heart jumped. She had clearly checked the snake poison. How could it be medicinal herbs?
Without a doubt, the original snake poison here had been replaced. Moreover, it should have been done not long ago. That was why such a small amount of poison could still be detected.
Han Yunxi originally wanted to ask, but after hesitating for a moment, she decided not to ask.
She continued to walk forward and quickly locked onto another drawer. At this time, Third Concubine's heart jumped again. This drawer had also stored snake poison.
Han Yunxi opened it and saw that it was still medicinal herbs. However, the detoxification system reminded her that there was a small amount of poison left. It was a highly toxic snake poison.
Had it been replaced again? Such a coincidence?
Han Yunxi was suspicious and inadvertently turned to look at Third Concubine. Third Concubine didn't expect her to turn around. She was caught off guard and revealed a panicked expression. "Wangfei … Wangfei, what's wrong?"
