C113 May Was Captured
"Don't mess around. Marriage matters. As parents, it's decided. You just need to take care of your body and wait to be married." Su Haotian was obviously very dissatisfied with Su Ruoyao's actions.
"Yao still doesn't want to get married. Furthermore, she will get married next month. It is too fast. I am not prepared for it." Su Ruoyao pouted and said somewhat angrily.
"You already knew about this marriage from the beginning. What kind of mental preparation do you have? I think you are deliberately looking for trouble." Su Haotian glared at Su Ruoyao and said.
"Alright, alright. Yao, there is still some time before the fifth of next month. I have prepared for you. Don't say anything else. Be obedient." Su Ruoyao's mother, Lee Qian, said something good to comfort Su Ruoyao.
"But..." Before Su Ruoyao could say anything, Lee Qian held her hand. She looked at Su Ruoyao and shook her head, indicating that she should not speak anymore. Her father was already a little angry.
Lin Yi also gently shook his head at Su Ruoyao. No matter how much he said now, he would not be able to take advantage of her.
"Haha, looks like Yao is not very satisfied with this marriage, Jie." Zhai's father said with a smile and looked at Zhai Jie.
Zhai Jie replied, "Yes."
"Looks like you need to spend more time with Yao and treat her better."
"Dad, don't worry. I will treat Ms Yao very well." Zhai Jie replied with a smile and looked at Su Ruoyao with deep affection.
Su Ruoyao did not give him face. She turned her head and sulked.
Zhai's father looked and felt a little awkward. He called Su Ruoyao and said, "Yao, don't worry. Uncle Zhai will not let you suffer. If he dares to bully you, just tell me. I will make the decision for you."
"Look, you are not happy to have such a good father-in-law. You are spoiled by us." Su Haotian said to Su Ruoyao.
"Alright, Old Su, don't blame Yao anymore. It is us, Jie, who did not do well to spoil a girl. In the future, I will make him correct his shortcomings." Zhai's father said to Su Haotian.
Zhai's father was about to leave with Zhai Jie, and the Su family's whole family stood up to send them off. Only then did Su Ruoyao have a good expression on her face. Even though Lin Yi kept winking at her, asking her not to keep a straight face, she still pretended not to look like him.
After sending off the father and son from the Zhai family, Su Haotian and Lee Qian also went out. Lin Yi sent Su Ruoyao back to her room.
"What should we do? The wedding date is set. I feel like we can't escape from this." Su Ruoyao's eyes were filled with water, and she was very anxious.
"Don't panic first." Lin Yi comforted her, "We still have many cards that are useless. Since he is so anxious, we don't have to wait anymore."
"What cards?" Su Ruoyao did not know what Lin Yi was talking about.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "You forgot about Mei and Han Ying."
"Didn't you say that he would not admit it even if you said it now? Moreover, the people who can testify about Han Ying's matter are all people on your side. He won't admit it either." Su Ruoyao said worriedly.
"But we can make Mei fall back. We will settle Mei first. We will use Mei to lure her brother out and then get the words out of his mouth. Anyway, we will do it step by step." Lin Yi said.
"I don't understand." Su Ruoyao shook her head.
"Forget it. Just do as I say." Lin Yi waved his hand.
In the evening, Mei brought the medicine to Su Ruoyao as usual. After putting down the bowl, Mei was about to leave but was stopped by Lin Yi.
"Mei, do you personally brew this medicine every day?" Lin Yi asked.
Mei nodded and said, "Yes, Dr. Lin. Is there a problem?"
"Come, smell it." Lin Yi asked Mei to pick up the medicine bowl. At this time, Su Ruoyao was awake by the side, but Lin Yi made her pretend to have a headache.
In the later stages of Mei's medicine, the amount of dark and long powder that was placed in Su Ruoyao's medicine was relatively small. After drinking it, it would make one dizzy and give a headache. If one took it for a long period of time, it would become dementia.
Actually, Su Ruoyao had not taken this medicine since a long time ago. But because Mei was still giving it to him, he had to create an illusion. From time to time, Lin Yi would let Su Ruoyao pretend to have an intermittent headache.
If Lin Yi had not determined this kind of slow-acting poison at the beginning, it would take a lot of time and effort to treat it later. Lin Yi let Su Ruoyao pretend to have a headache because he wanted to make it clear that Su Ruoyao drank the medicine. However, Lin Yi had also been treating her, but because Lin Yi's medical skills were not good enough, he had not completely cured her, so Su Ruoyao had a headache.
Of course, everything was just an act, and everything was under Lin Yi's control.
Mei sniffed and said, "It smells good."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "You finally feel that it smells good. This medicine smells very good. Don't you think it's strange?"
Mei used her hands to tighten the corner of her clothes and said, "Sorry, Dr. Lin. I have never read before. The medicine was caught according to the list you gave me. It was brewed. I also do not know what smell it should be."
"Then drink it." Lin Yi looked at her with a smile.
Mei stared at Lin Yi with her eyes wide open. She looked very surprised.
"Drink it. Drink it. I suspect that someone poisoned Miss's medicine. You help Miss test the medicine." Lin Yi continued.
Mei obviously knew that this medicine could not be drunk. She trembled as she held the bowl and slowly put it to her mouth.
Su Ruoyao's hand was on her forehead but her eyes were staring intently as she watched Mei drink it.
Suddenly, Mei put down the bowl and knelt in front of Lin Yi and Su Ruoyao with a "plop" sound. She said, "Dr. Lin, young miss, I beg of you. Let me go. I will not dare to do it again. I will not do it again."
Lin Yi pretended not to know anything and said, "Mei, what's wrong? Quickly get up and talk."
Mei did not get up but continued to kowtow. "I beg you, Miss. Please spare Mei. Mei will be your slave to repay you. I beg you."
Lin Yi walked to the side of the chair and sat down, "Then tell me, why did you poison Miss's bowl?"
Mei nodded and looked as if Dr. Lin already knew. She said, "I did not do it. It was someone else who made me do it. I have no choice. Dr. Lin, Miss, please let me go."
"Who is it?" Su Ruoyao put her hand down from her forehead and got up to ask.
When Mei saw Su Ruoyao like this, she was first shocked and then stammered, "I dare not say. After saying it, I will lose my life."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "So you don't think that we are people who will take your life, right?"
Mei started to kowtow again, "Let me go, please."
"If you tell us the mastermind behind this, we will not make things difficult for you." Lin Yi said.
"But, but I really can't tell you. If I tell you, something might happen to my brother. I really can't tell you." Mei said while crying.
"As long as you say it and help us, I promise that your brother will be fine." Lin Yi said with certainty.
