Shu Ruyue also walked over and sniffed the blood.
“This is pig blood! ”
“How do you know?” Li Xiaoran asked in confusion.
“My uncle is a butcher. When I was young, I helped him kill pigs often and I smelled pig blood a lot, so I naturally know,” Shu Ruyue said.
“In that case, someone used pig blood as human blood to delude us!” Li Xiaoran said thoughtfully.
“Then does this person want Miss Lu to die or live?” Shu Ruyue thought of something and asked.
“Who knows?” Li Xiaoran shrugged.
Speaking of which, Li Xiaoran didn’t expect this at all.
She had come here to retaliate against scheming women. Why did the situation change so quickly and why did she get caught up in a crime case instead?
On the other side, the doctor’s wife also rushed over. Then, the Eldest Princess began to ask everyone to retreat and leave everything here to the doctor to handle.
The matter was temporarily resolved.
As for what Lu Haixin had experienced, the Lu family would probably investigate.
Of course, Li Xiaoran didn’t know if the Eldest Princess would investigate.
If she was in the Eldest Princess’ position, she would definitely investigate.
Before she could dwell on it, she heard the Eldest Princess’s voice in her ear.
“Do you think this is the same mastermind as the person who poisoned the tea?”
When Li Xiaoran looked over, she realized that the Eldest Princess’s gaze was on her.
“Are you asking me?
“Who else could I be asking?” the Eldest Princess said while raising her eyebrows.
After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she said, “I don’t know. There are too few clues!”
“Don’t give me that. Don’t you have very strong intuition? Then does your intuition tell you that these two things are related?” the Eldest Princess asked.
After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she finally nodded.
“Yes, I think all of this is like a net, and we’re prey trapped in the middle of it.
Perhaps this is just the beginning!”
As soon as Li Xiaoran said this, the Eldest Princess’s expression turned ugly. For some reason, her intuition told her that she should believe Li Xiaoran’s judgment.
After the Eldest Princess thought for a moment, she looked at Mr. Jiao and said, “Mr. Jiao, go and see if any capital guards are here.”
Mr. Jiao nodded and immediately sent someone out of the garden to ask around.
Next, the Eldest Princess asked Princess Ning Xin to accompany everyone to the garden to admire the flowers, while she brought Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue to investigate the tea poisoning incident.
As Li Xiaoran followed behind the Eldest Princess, she muttered,
“What’s with this situation?! I came to teach those people who look down on me a lesson, but why did things escalate into this?!”
When the Eldest Princess, who was walking in front, heard this, she was immediately amused.
“Are you unhappy? I won’t give others a chance even if they beg me! Let me tell you, if you follow me to settle today’s matter, you’ll get more benefits than if you deal with those women. At least from now on, no one will dare to look down on you!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, her eyes lit up.
“On second thought, you’re right. There are so many of them, while I’m all alone. I’m a little girl, so if I can deter those people with less effort, it’ll naturally be the best!”
When the Eldest Princess heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she glanced at her.
“Have you figured it out yet? Why are you still muttering behind my back? Let’s go and settle the matter quickly!” The Eldest Princess glanced at Li Xiaoran and shouted.
“Coming! Eldest Princess, I’ll support you !” Li Xiaoran quickly jogged to the Eldest Princess’s side with a smile and grabbed her arm to support her.
“Does Luo Cheng know about this side of you? Look at you now. You’re such a suck-up!” The Eldest Princess couldn’t help but say.
“Of course. I’m only fawning over you because you’re good to me! If it were anyone else, see if I wouldn’t be so nice to them! Even if the Old Master came, I wouldn’t be so nice!” Li Xiaoran said proudly.
Others didn’t understand who ‘Old Master’ was, but the Eldest Princess guessed
“You see the Old Master often?”
“I see him often?! It’s him who shamelessly comes to my house every day to freeload! I don’t understand. The best chef in the world is cooking for him, but the food doesn’t taste good enough to him and he keeps freeloading at our house!” Li Xiaoran muttered in annoyance.
To be honest, she really couldn’t figure it out.
Although her culinary skills were not bad, it wasn’t to the extent that people obsessed over it!
If ordinarv people were obsessed with her dishes, she could understand.
But why was the emperor, who enjoyed good wine and delicacies all day long, so obsessed with her cooking?
When the Eldest Princess heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she was shocked.
After pondering for a moment, the Eldest Princess said, “Then I have to go to your house for dinner in the future as well.”
“Eldest Princess, you want to come too?” Li Xiaoran widened her eyes when she heard this.
“Why? Am I not welcome?” The Eldest Princess glanced at Li Xiaoran and asked.
“You’re welcome. How can I not welcome you?! However, can you guys not keep coming to freeload?! Although my husband and I can earn money, we can’t afford all this freeloading! The Old Master came previously, and now, you want to come. If all the elders of the royal family come, I’ll be exhausted! At that time, I’ll definitely pack my bags and escape to Sichuan! Having too many relatives isn’t a good thing! Any one of them is enough to bankrupt us!” Li Xiaoran said.
The Eldest Princess was amused by Li Xiaoran’s words.
“Don’t worry, as an elder, I have no reason to let you juniors spend money to support me. I’ll bring ingredients and pay for the food. Besides, I’m Luo Cheng’s Auntie after all. What’s wrong with you two juniors treating me to a meal?”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, her expression immediately turned bitter.
“You keep using this excuse to snub us. If another elder uses this excuse to snub us next time, how will my husband and I survive?”
When the Eldest Princess heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she pretended to reach out to hit her.
“You little girl, you’re so rude. Should I teach you a lesson on behalf of Luo Cheng today?”
Li Xiaoran quickly dodged and said with a smile, “You can’t.. If you teach me a lesson, my husband will feel sorry for me!”
