Chapter 159 Don’t shed tears until you see the coffin
When Wu Weiwei arrived at Jade Butterfly Garden, a large number of people had already gathered on the second floor.
Manager Huang ordered his men to clear a path.
Wu Weiwei walked to the center of the crowd.
She looked at Lu Xiaoqian standing to the side, and the female doctor kneeling on the ground, trembling.
"Deputy Steward Lu, what has Dr. Li done wrong?"
"Master, Doctor Li is being instigated by someone to poison the tea we drink."
I caught them red-handed...
Lu Xiaoqian felt a chill run down her spine as she thought about it.
If no one had discovered this today, including her and everyone else present.
Are they all destined to die at her hands?
Upon hearing this, Wu Weiwei's expression turned grave.
"Can you find out what kind of poison she used?"
Manager Huang walked forward shakily.
"Go back to the master, Dr. Liu has just examined you."
Yes, it's arsenic..."
Upon hearing that it was arsenic, Wu Weiwei felt a chill run down her spine.
Who has a deep-seated grudge against her that they would try to poison everyone in her Jade Butterfly Garden?
Everyone here knows that she didn't come to Wei Garden today.
So, perhaps that person didn't actually want her dead.
They don't want her dead, but they want her to take responsibility for the hundreds of lives lost to poisoning at Jade Butterfly Garden.
What's the difference between this and taking her life?
If this succeeds today, she will definitely be arrested by the government.
Hundreds of lives lost—that's no joke.
Even if she didn't do it herself, Jade Butterfly Garden is her property.
Her employer absolutely has to take responsibility for this.
At best, Jade Butterfly Garden will be shut down and compensation will be paid.
In more serious cases, she could be imprisoned or exiled by the emperor.
In order to appease public grievances.
This reveals the sinister intentions of the person behind the scenes.
"My God, what deep-seated grudge do I have against her that she would actually try to poison us..."
"This damned poisonous thing should be handed over to the authorities immediately."
I was almost about to go get some water!
"My goodness! I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise."
If I were to die from poisoning here today, what would become of my infant son who is still nursing and crying for milk!
“Master, this heartless wretch must be sent to the authorities.”
"Yes, even hanging wouldn't be too much; she must be severely punished..."
"..."
Everyone was talking about it.
The scene was in an uproar, with everyone shouting for the murderer to be punished.
"Everyone, please stop and listen to me..."
Wu Weiwei gestured for everyone to stop.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
"Manager Huang, you should go to the government office immediately to report the incident and truthfully report what happened at our Jade Butterfly Garden."
Manager Huang nodded, having received a meaningful glance from Wu Weiwei.
"Okay, boss, I'll go right away."
After Manager Huang left.
Wu Weiwei looked at everyone and assured them:
"Please rest assured."
I will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer regarding today's matter.
As for the fright you suffered today, each of you can go to Steward Cheng to collect a subsidy of one tael of silver…
Upon hearing Wu Weiwei's words, everyone looked at each other in surprise. Could there really be such a good thing?
After a while.
Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
Wow, we're getting paid!
Then someone took the lead and shouted, "Thank you, boss!"
"Thank you, boss!"
"Thank you, boss!"
"..."
Many people rushed to the accounting office on the first floor to line up and collect their money, leaving only Wu Weiwei and a few managers there.
Wu Weiwei came to the blue plum chrysanthemum.
"Why are you doing this?"
She treated these female doctors well on a regular basis, and they received at least a hundred taels of silver from her Jade Butterfly Garden every month.
At its peak, it could even reach nearly four or five hundred taels.
Even with such generous treatment, she still betrayed her.
What is she after?
Is it that she doesn't have enough money, or that she can't support her family?
Li Juhua dared not look Wu Weiwei in the eye.
She simply lowered her head and stammered, "Master, one person does the work, and one person takes responsibility."
"It's the chrysanthemum that's wronged you..."
Wu Weiwei felt a surge of irritation rising within her, and a hint of murderous intent flickered in her eyes.
But he still controlled his voice and asked calmly:
Whom are you protecting?
Do you know how many people here would lose their lives if you had successfully poisoned them today?
How many families have been torn apart because of you, and even more families have been destroyed?
And what will become of me because of you...?
A barrage of questions followed, but Li Juhua could only keep bowing her head and saying sorry.
Seeing her like this, Lu Xiaoqian was very annoyed.
She stepped forward and asked Wu Weiwei for instructions: "Boss, I think she won't shed tears until she sees the coffin."
Please wait here while I do it.
Seeing Lu Xiaoqian's confident demeanor, and then looking at Li Juhua, Wu Weiwei noticed...
She stubbornly bit her lower lip, her eyes cold.
Thinking that officials might arrive soon, she feared that something unexpected might happen.
It would be better to hand this matter over to Lu Xiaoqian, so that she can see her abilities.
After receiving a signal from her employer, Lu Xiaoqian looked at Li Juhua.
If she hadn't followed them today, Jade Butterfly Garden might have been completely wiped out.
She was glad she had been cautious.
Li Juhua was so stubborn, but she didn't believe she couldn't get her to talk.
"Li Juhua, if I remember correctly, you have a relative in the suburbs of Beijing, right?"
I heard she's already sixteen.
Not only did she not get married, but she also never went out on weekdays.
Every few days when you go back, you always bring her a string of candied hawthorns…
Li Juhua looked up in fright.
"You, Manager Lu, how did you know?"
She always kept her daughter's affairs a secret, so how did Lu Xiaoqian know?
How did I know that it was none of your business?
Just tell me, are you going to protect the person behind this, or are you going to save your daughter's life?
Lu Xiaoqian's sharp eyes swept coldly over her.
In her spare time, she would look through the family files of the people under her command.
She would even provide financial assistance to those in need on a private basis.
Therefore, she had heard about and paid attention to Li Juhua's family situation.
Wu Weiwei looked up at the spirited young woman she had promoted.
I never expected her to have such a commanding presence at such a young age.
It seems she didn't misjudge him.
Under Lu Xiaoqian's piercing gaze.
Li Juhua stammered, "Aunt Wu, I... someone bribed me to do this!"
Who bribed you?
Wu Weiwei stepped forward.
At that moment, the faces of several people flashed through her mind.
But this matter is of great importance.
She was unwilling to speculate without concrete evidence.
Li Juhua raised her head shakily.
She looked at Wu Weiwei.
"Master, yes, yes..."
Just then, several footsteps were heard from the first floor.
"When the government is handling a case, all bystanders must give way!"
The onlookers quickly made way for them.
A constable with a knife led four soldiers to the second floor.
"Sir, has a poisoning incident occurred here?"
