Lu Ling'er gently approached the bedside and carefully observed the child's condition. His face was pale, his lips were chapped, and his forehead was burning hot, as if he had been burned by high temperatures and unable to move. Seeing this, Lu Ling'er's heart tightened, and she worried about the safety of her unborn child.
"What's your name? Where do you feel unwell?" Lu Linger asked softly, trying to reassure the child.
The child looked up and answered weakly: "My name is Xiaohao, I... my stomach hurts and I want to vomit." After saying that, he lowered his head again, with a look of pain on his face.
"Stomachache? And feeling like vomiting. It seems that your symptoms are indeed similar to those of Old Lady Li and Susu." Lu Linger began to think in her mind. She had to confirm as soon as possible whether this was related to the food they ate.
"Husband, go tell Xiaohao's parents and ask them to get the medicine." Lu Linger said to Gu Yichen in a firm tone.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Gu Yichen nodded and quickly walked out of the room, his heart full of worry for his wife.
Lu Linger squatted down and took Xiao Hao's pulse. Although he couldn't fully explain the cause of the disease, she vaguely felt that if Xiao Hao was also poisoned, time was running out and an antidote must be found as soon as possible.
Gu Yichen returned quickly, bringing back Xiaohao's parents. They looked anxious and immediately began preparing a prescription. Lu Linger instructed them to use herbs to treat the symptoms and try to alleviate Xiaohao's pain.
"Go quickly, don't waste time." Lu Linger said, but she couldn't help but worry in her heart: If Xiao Hao was also poisoned, how can we find out the truth?
After handing the prescription to the young wife, Lu Ling'er and Gu Yichen decided to go find the gray-robed aunt. Leaving the young couple's home, Lu Ling'er felt a sense of urgency, fearing that if they delayed any further, more people would be harmed.
"Let's go find that aunt." Lu Linger said to Gu Yichen with a firm expression and a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.
"Okay, I'll accompany you." Gu Yichen responded, knowing in his heart that finding this person was the key to solving the problem.
They came to a small courtyard at the end of the alley. The courtyard was quiet and seemed uninhabited. Lu Linger's heart tightened, and she thought to herself, "Could it be that Auntie has left?"
Just as she was about to turn and leave, she heard a low conversation. Lu Linger and Gu Yichen exchanged a glance and quietly approached the door, wanting to hear what was being said inside.
"They are beginning to suspect me... We must get rid of those things as soon as possible." A low voice came out.
"Wait a few more days, until they all eat that thing and become more seriously ill, then we can leave this place with peace of mind." Another voice echoed with a hint of sinisterness.
Lu Ling'er's heart suddenly tightened, and she could hardly believe her ears. Could this gray-clad aunt be the mastermind behind this? She decided not to hesitate any longer and had to go in and investigate.
"Let's go in together." Lu Linger said to Gu Yichen, her voice full of determination.
Gu Yichen nodded, his heart filled with vigilance. He knew that the key to finding the truth lay here.
The two quietly pushed open the courtyard door and walked in. The room had only a small window and the main door, which were ajar, with a faint light coming through. Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er quickly glanced around and found several boxes filled with miscellaneous items in the corner and a shabby table with some vaguely indistinct items placed on it.
At this moment, she heard the conversation between the two voices more clearly.
"We have to act now, or they'll find evidence," the first voice said, its tone tinged with unease.
"Don't worry, I'm ready. As long as we follow the plan, everything will be fine." Another voice responded, full of confidence.
Lu Linger held her breath, her heart pounding as she realized she might be getting closer to the truth. Suddenly, however, her attention was drawn to a noise outside the window, and she turned slightly to check.
"Who!" The two voices stopped instantly, and then a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.
