Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 831 - 110 Poisoned Person_3

"Then, do you know what poison it was?"

An Jie shook his head, "I don’t know. The doctor couldn’t diagnose it either, just said it was poisoning, and prescribed some detoxification remedies." freewebnσvel.cøm

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but be speechless. The audacity of that doctor, who didn’t even know what poison it was and dared to prescribe a remedy.

Having been silent all this time, Xia Zheng suddenly asked, "Who else was eating with you that day?"

Without even thinking, An Jie blurted out the names of two individuals, then added, "Oh right, there was also that Jin Can."

Jin Can, Golden Tongue?

"Did everyone else eat the dishes you ordered? Including this Jin Can." As soon as he thought of Jin Can, known as Golden Tongue, Xia Zheng felt a tinge of jealousy. If only he had a Golden Tongue, Lin Yuan would surely be hugging him every day as if she had found a treasure and refused to let go.

"Everyone had some, especially that Golden Tongue; he ate up both chicken legs."

Speaking of which, An Jie was quite puzzled. Although Golden Tongue came from a less fortunate family and always needed others to treat him to meals, he was quite particular about eating and never had more than three bites of a dish. But it seemed that every time he was at the Fragrant Full Building, those rules were broken.

"Both chicken legs, eh? He looks so thin and frail, didn’t expect him to be such a foodie." Xia Zheng chuckled and continued to recline in his chair without moving.

Having clarified this, Lin Yuan then asked An Jie if he had offended anyone recently, or encountered anything strange.

The two’s demeanor, akin to that of the Government Office conducting an investigation, amused An Jie: "You two, your questioning is even more thorough than Prefect Tang and Master Magistrate. Let me put it this way, although An Family Winehouse is considered top-notch in Yecheng, we’ve always conducted our business with fairness and reason, never bullying anyone with our power. So, it’s impossible for us to offend anyone."

This effectively ruled out those two friends as well. But if no one had poisoned him, then how could he have been poisoned? Very strange!

Just as she was thinking, Luomeiyan, who had been silent all the while, suddenly whispered softly, "Husband, you can’t judge a book by its cover. You’re naturally good-natured and would never suspect that those who call you brother one day might betray you the next. Such friends are a dime a dozen."

An Jie was startled for a moment, then shook his head: "That’s not possible, I believe my friends aren’t like that."

Seeing that he was sticking to his beliefs, Luomeiyan smiled but diverted to another subject, "You never know, it could be business rivals. Hasn’t our winehouse started shipping wine to the Capital city? Maybe it’s interfering with someone’s business, and some wineries in the Capital city are retaliating on purpose?"

It was a possibility.

An Jie fell silent. He had confidence in what his friends were like, but as for the thoughts of others, he had no clue.

Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng exchanged glances and silently noted Luomeiyan’s words in their hearts.

An Jie, indeed frail, showed signs of fatigue after just sitting for a short while.

"Young Master An, regardless of who the mastermind behind this incident is, our Fragrant Full Building can’t completely wash its hands of it. Rest assured, I, Lin Yuan, guarantee that I will find out who the poisoner is and avenge you."

An Jie smiled faintly, not taking the maid’s words too seriously. After bidding farewell, he was supported back to his room to rest by Luomeiyan.

Knowing that An Yixiang didn’t care to see them either, Lin Yuan and her companion made no plans to bid her farewell and followed the maid out. Just as they reached the second entrance, Luomeiyan suddenly called out from behind, hurrying to catch up and whispering urgently.

Lin Yuan furrowed her brow slightly, blinking.

Luomeiyan bit her lip, whispering, "My husband is too trusting, as you have seen. Hence, I didn’t dare to speak in front of him and had to wait until he went back to rest before rushing to tell you. Although I have some suspicions, it’s not my place to investigate. My mother—well, you must have noticed—doesn’t like me much. If I were to bring this up with her, she would probably scold me for being overly suspicious again."

Her words made sense. Lin Yuan sighed, feeling a new measure of sympathy for this much-aggravated young wife.

Leaving An’s House, Xia Zheng maintained his silence until they returned to the Fragrant Full Building. Unable to contain herself any longer, Lin Yuan asked him, "Hey, that tea was clearly mine, why did you snatch it?"
