the Foundation Establishment Pill, but without a pill furnace, he can only buy some kitchenware to make do.He put all those things in the back seat of the Jetta, then sat in the passenger seat, and t...Ye Bufan thought this way, and the others didn't have any suspicion. After all, being able to pull Zhai Tianfang back from the Yama Hall was already invaluable. Even Xue Guanghui, who was called a divine doctor, couldn't do it.

Zhai Tianfang said gratefully: “Thank you, Doctor Ye.”

Ye Bufan said: "The city lord has just recovered from a serious illness and is still very weak. He needs to rest more."

Zhai Gang nodded, waved his hand, and immediately several warriors came over to escort Zhai Tianfang to another room to rest.

Liu Meiniang was about to leave when she was stopped by Zhai Lingxiu who appeared in front of her.

She couldn't help but change her expression: "What are you going to do"

"It's nothing serious, Auntie. Please don't rush off. Let's all discuss my father's condition together."

Zhai Gang's tone was flat, but his eyes held a chill. The strangeness of the jade pendant had already made him suspicious about the matter.

Liu Meiniang let out a cold snort, expressing her displeasure, but she didn't say anything more.

Zhai Gang looked at Ye Bufan again: "Doctor Ye, can you tell us about my father's condition"

Now everyone has lost their previous disdain, instead filled with conviction, after all, they are truly capable.

Ye Bufan said, "The mayor's illness, at its root, is not actually an illness, but a poisoning. It is a poison called Huolóngcao."

The toxicity of fire dragon grass is very strong, once the fire poison enters the body it is difficult to cure, but that is not the most troublesome.

Most importantly, the jade pendant completely concealed the scent of the Fire Dragon Herb, leading everyone to believe it was a case of cold illness and thus misdirecting the treatment.

To be frank, if I hadn't arrived here today, Lord Mayor's life would probably have been forfeit by now.

Those around him nodded in agreement with his words.

Even Xue Guanghe believed that the City Lord had a cold, and if it weren't for Ye Bufan's timely intervention, the consequences today would be unimaginable.

Ye Bufan continued, "So putting it all together, I think this is a plot, an assassination attempt on Lord City Master."

His words hung in the air, causing a shift in everyone's expressions. If all of this was deliberately orchestrated, targeting City Lord Zhai Tianfang, then the situation was far more serious.

Assassinating the city lord, if discovered, would undoubtedly result in a death sentence.

Zhai Gang's expression grew increasingly gloomy, his gaze fixed on Liu Meiniang: "Aunt, you have been by your father's side for a while now. Could you guess who poisoned him"

His words were veiled, but everyone could tell he was beginning to suspect Liu Meiniang. After all, this woman had been by Zhai Tianfang's side the whole time, making her the prime suspect.

"What do you mean Are you doubting me"

“How could I possibly poison my own husband Besides, if it were me who poisoned him, I wouldn't have had my brother invite Dr. Xue.”

"You're right, I am suspecting you."

Zhi Lingxiu stepped forward. Though she was a rough-around-the-edges woman, her mind was incredibly sharp.

Ye Bufan has made things so clear. If you can't see any clues now, you don't deserve to lead troops into battle.

"You sent someone to invite Dr. Xue because you think he can't see through this situation either, and that he would be more convenient for helping you cover it up."

In fact, that's exactly what happened. Xue Guanghe not only failed to cure my father, he almost killed him. If I hadn't brought in Dr. Ye, you would have gotten away with it today.

"Zhai Lingxiu, you're accusing me falsely! This is slander!"

Liu Meiniang immediately burst into tears, acting pitifully, “Although I have always been by my husband’s side, I truly didn't poison him, and I don't know who did.”

Zhai Gang's face was dark and he remained unmoved, continuing to ask, "You can say you don't know about the poisoning, but what about this jade pendant on my father As far as I know, it seems to be the one you put on him."

"That's right, the jade pendant was indeed given to my husband by me, but I don't know what's wrong with it."

Liu Meiniang looked pitifully at him and said, "My husband has been fighting on the battlefield. I have always been worried about him, so I bought this jade pendant to pray for his safety and even went to the temple to have a master bless it."

But I didn't expect it to become like this, I really don't know what happened.

Zhai Gang frowned, there was something wrong with this jade pendant. It was given to his father by Liu Meiniang, and the incident happened right before and after his illness. Her suspicion was naturally the greatest.

But this is just suspicion, without evidence we can't determine if it was them.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Ye Bufan said, "Madam City Lord, you're really good at acting. Don't you think that as long as you don't admit it, nothing will be exposed"

"Kid, what are you talking about If you dare to slander me again, believe me or not, I'll kill you"

Liu Meiniang was immediately enraged and humiliated. She couldn't get back at the brothers and sisters of the Zhai family, but she wouldn't put a small doctor in her eyes.

"I'm a doctor," Ye Bufan said, noncommittally. "I was born with an extremely sensitive nose for the smell of herbs, and the city lord's wife happens to have the scent of this particular herb on her."

"What"

Everyone present was shocked. Now it could be confirmed that the poison in Zhai Tianfang's body was from the Fire Dragon Grass. If there was any trace of this medicinal herb on Liu Meiniang, then she would essentially be caught red-handed.

Liu Meiniang's panic flashed across her eyes before she loudly retorted, "Nonsense! You're just taking revenge because I tried to kill you before. That's why you want to get back at me!"

"In my entire life, I've never seen what a fire dragon plant is, how could there possibly be its aura"

Then she burst into tears again and looked at Zhai Gang, "Since you siblings believe an outsider but not me, then go ahead and search me. See if I have the fire dragon grass on me."

"Anyway, I'm just a stepmother, you never treated me like family. You might as well just kill me."

"This..."

Zhai Gang showed a look of embarrassment. Deep down, he believed what Ye Bufan had said.

But no matter what, Liu Meiniang was his stepmother. Her status was special. If he really couldn't find anything, he was afraid it would be difficult to explain to his father in the future.

Zhai Lingxiu ignored them and stepped forward directly, saying, "I'll search."

As she was about to step forward and attack, she was stopped by Ye Bufan.

"I searched but the fire dragon grass wasn't on her."

"Kid, I told you this is revenge, this is slander, I'm going to fight you!"

Liu Meiniang cried out and rushed over, but Ye Bufan dodged to the side with a flash, saying lightly, "Madam City Lord, you'd better stop making a fuss. Although the Huolongcao is not on you, I know where it is."imes she tried, it went straight to voicemail.A moment later, she stood there dumbfounded, her mind filled with Ye Bufan's appearance and laughter. She couldn't believe any of it, no matter how hard s...
