When Elder Xu heard Luo Cheng’s words, he immediately understood.
Previously, he had found it unbelievable. He couldn’t figure out why anyone would want to poison him.
He hadn’t gotten in anyone’s way!
However, what Luo Cheng said immediately enlightened him. She realized it.
There were actually people guarding against him and Luo Cheng.
Thinking of this, Elder Xu sneered.
“These people are really persistent! We’re already in this state, but they’re still scheming against us!”
Luo Cheng didn’t seem to care.
“I expected it! And this trap had been set up a long time ago. It’s not recent. I don’t know why, but those people suddenly used this scheme that had been in the making for a while!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng and Xu Lao’s words, she already had some guesses.
Perhaps her husband’s identity was very extraordinary!
It wasn’t that Li Xiaoran didn’t suspect Luo Cheng’s identity, but she didn’t investigate further.
No matter what Luo Cheng’s identity was, he was her husband now.
Besides, ordinary people wouldn’t have such a big house and be able to buy such a large piece of land.
Luo Cheng had his own business and medical skills, and there were often assassination attempts against him.
Therefore, Li Xiaoran was actually well aware, but if Luo Cheng didn’t say it, she wouldn’t ask.
There were many things where knowing too much wasn’t a good thing. Instead, it would cause more trouble.
Li Xiaoran only wanted to live a simple life now. She wanted to earn money every day and cook something delicious to reward herself. She didn’t want to think about anything else.
Daniu was immersed in his thoughts at this moment.
When Daniu realized that he had mistaken his enemy and harmed the innocent, he was stunned.
After thinking about it carefully from beginning to end, Daniu came back to his senses and discovered many loopholes.
Since the other party was ruthless and had done such a cruel thing, they definitely didn’t plan on letting anyone off alive. How did his father and uncles escape from the village to town without being captured?
To think about it, his father and uncles’ injuries seemed serious, but they weren’t fatal.
From the way those people killed people in one smooth move later, it seemed that his father and uncles had been released on purpose.
Also, the two people who went to the teahouse later and said that they wanted to hire servants were complete strangers. They had never come to the teahouse in the past and never came to a teahouse since then. Moreover, after those two people revealed that the Xu family wanted to hire servants, Daniu had never seen them again.
Regarding the incident when he accidentally heard about the slow-acting poison later on, there was also something fishy about it.
Why did someone happen to send poison to him when he needed it?
Including what had happened today, it was obvious that he had been manipulated by someone.
He, who was blinded by hatred, almost did something that would break the hearts of those who cared about him and delight his enemies.
“What should we do with this person?” Luo Cheng glanced at Daniu and asked Elder xu.
Elder Xu glanced at Daniu and sighed.
“Let him go! He’s a pitiful person too!”
“We can’t let him go!” At this moment, Li Xiaoran suddenly said, “If he goes out now, he’ll undoubtedly get killed. Regardless of whether Daniu had succeeded or not today, as long as he leaves the house, what awaits him is definitely death!”
Luo Cheng naturally understood this as well, so he looked at Li Xiaoran.
“Are you going to keep him?”
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and nodded.
“Let him stay! After all, that’s a life! No matter what, the people in his village are already gone. He’s the only one left. It’s better to let him live! Besides, leaving him alive will lure the snake out of its hole!” Luo Cheng understood Li Xiaoran’s determination and nodded. “Alright, leave this person to me!”
With that, Luo Cheng carried Daniu to the courtyard at the back.
Elder Xu had returned and drunk the medicine, while Li Xiaoran had finished everything she had to do.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something and looked around.
Seeing that Big Yellow was still lying on the ground obediently, Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.
“Big Yellow, it’s good that you’re fine! Come, the bone and egg soup is cold. Go eat! ”
When Big Yellow heard Li Xiaoran’s words, it wagged its tail and stood up. Then, it followed Li Xiaoran to eat.
After Luo Cheng settled Daniu’s matter, he walked out and saw Li Xiaoran squatting beside Big Yellow while talking to it.
“Wife, what are you doing?”
“Husband, you’re here! Look, is Big Yellow pregnant?” Li Xiaoran beckoned at Luo Cheng and said.
“Huh?” As soon as Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he quickly walked over. “Big Yellow is a male dog. How can it be pregnant? However, its stomach is indeed a little big. It seems that we have to give Big Yellow some medicine! Otherwise, it will be very dangerous if those feces keep accumulating in its stomach!”
“Huh?” Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng in disbelief and then at Big Yellow, who was eating happily. “It’s a male?”
“That’s right! Did you think Big Yellow is a female?” Luo Cheng said with a smile. Then, he looked at the things in the dog basin. “No wonder Big Yellow was so happy. You actually boiled eggs in bone soup for it!” Li Xiaoran was amused. She didn’t expect to be wrong.
“I thought Big Yellow was pregnant, so I boiled a few eggs to nourish it. Who knew that it wasn’t pregnant!”
“It’s fine. Nourishing Big Yellow is a good idea. I’ll feed Big Yellow some medicine tonight so it wouldn’t be so constipated! Speaking of which, it was my fault for being so negligent! At this time every year, I would brew some medicine to help Big Yellow’s digestion. I was too busy this year and forgot about this!” Luo Cheng said and reached out to touch Big Yellow’s head.
“Big Yellow, I’m sorry! I forgot to prescribe medicine for you! I’ll give you a pill tonight. You’ll feel better after you poop!”
Big Yellow looked up at Luo Cheng and smiled at him, as if to convey that it was fine and there was no need to apologize.
“By the way, where are the other dogs?” Luo Cheng thought of something and looked around.
“Big Yellow said that the other dogs went to the river to catch fish!” Li Xiaoran thought of what she had asked previously and explained.
“Catch fish?” Luo Cheng was immediately puzzled. “Since when could our dogs catch fish?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the dogs running back with something in their mouths.
Seeing that Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran were both there, the dogs quickly ran over and placed the big fish in their mouths in front of them.
Luo Cheng looked at the fish and suddenly thought of something. His expression changed..
