Medicinal Spirits
episode 84: SLP #10

BRUKK...

"Where's the patient?" Two healers and one medicinal walked hastily on both sprawled bodies.

"Dad, mom...,"

"No!"

"Dad, mom, wake up!"

All the servants and guard soldiers panicked upon seeing that the two people were already in an ill-fated state.

"They're not breathing anymore, they've lost their lives" the Physician said as he examined the bodies of Su Taipong and Su Miaomiao.

"No!!"

Su Manman cried out in frustration upon hearing the harsh reality. The black cloud seemed to be perched on top of his head so it only looked a gloomy and desperate expression.

"So, that's the teapot!" Shouted Merlyn who had just come with Mellen's mother.

Unmindful, the short-haired maid immediately grabbed the teapot that Su Manman had just used to poison Su Luxie.

"No, no, no!! It's because of you! Because of you, mom and dad have to die!" squeal Su Manman to Su Luxie.

"So..."

"Am I..., who should drink it.." shrieked Su Luxie with a sad expression she said "Could it be..., you want to kill me, big brother?"

"A, i.., no..."

All eyes were on Su Manman. This time he really felt cornered and did not know what to say. However, accidentally the eyes were fixed on Mellen's mother who was standing in shock.

"!"

"He.., that's him..." Su Manman pointed at Mother Mellen with his irritated look.

"That servant's head has put poison into his tea! I.., I didn't even have time to put anything down because I had to go to pick up sister," Su Manman choked in self-defense.

"!"

"!"

"!"

"NO!"

"I don't even know the reason Young Miss invited me to the tea banquet," Mother Mellen refused sternly.

"Don't lie! You're..."

"That's enough! Jie, please take care of these two suspects. Take them to the meeting room" Su Luxie said.

"Good, master,"

Su Luxie walked away from the place with an end to her cynical grin at Su Manman who was acting frustrated.

"This time you're really done, my beloved brother," his mutter relentlessly grinned cynically.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

...In the meeting room.......

Currently, the room is in a stressful situation. Su Manman and Mother Mellen were kowtowing towards Su Luxie who was watching them intently.

"Start with you, brother. What defense can prove that Mellen's mother poisoned her tea?" ask Su Luxie.

"You should check out this lady's room! He hid it there!" replied Su Manman without a second thought.

"!"

"There's nothing there!" sergeant Mellen's mother defended herself.

"Sister, believe me. He must've hidden it there,"

Su Luxie was speechless, the state of the room was getting heated up because there was not the slightest sound from Su Luxie.

"Miss.." call Merlyn.

"....What makes you so sure, brother?" ask Su Luxie. With her flat face she again said "You're acting like you know everything, yes" He continued grinning.

"A, I.., no..."

"Ck, ck, ck.., okay,"

"Jie, to confirm the statement from her, send your men to search the Chief Servant's room," Su Luxie said "And don't forget to ransack my beloved brother's room..." Further.

"Good, master!"

Jie walked by followed by another black jack. The situation grew increasingly violent when he saw Su Luxie in a completely angry condition.

"!"

"Hahaha, b, alright sister. Big brother, leave everything to you," said Su Manman smiling bitterly.

"There's nothing in there!" His mind grinned.

Su Luxie continued to stare at Su Manman sharply. Secretly the tip of her sweet lips lifted up as she thought of something in her head.

"You're pretty confident, brother!" su Luxie's mind was inexhaustible on Su Manman's confidence.

Before long, two healers and one medicinal man entered with a teapot in their hands. They approached Su Luxie.

"Speak,"

"Good,"

The Medicinal advanced to show the teapot to Su Luxie then began to open its lid.

"Great Miss Su, as you understand if this tea has been poisoned. Likely, the perpetrator put a lot of doses into the tea so that the victim could die quickly" Medicinal explained showing the contents of the teapot to Su Luxie.

"!"

"Ouh..., gosh. how cruel!"

"Whoever did it was so cruel!"

The servants strongly condemned the act. They whisper and try to corner the perpetrator.

Su Manman acted as if he knew nothing. However, his hands continued to hold his clothes tightly. It was of course realized by Su Luxie who continued to make Su Manman as his main focus.

Su Luxie smiled "Well. As if that person was anxious to make me die," Su Luxie said grinning.

Those bright eyes were instantly fixed on Su Manman, then he warmly smiled.

"!"

Su Manman was quite surprised to find that Su Luxie was smiling at him.

"He must be on my side. As his Su Luxie deeply hated the presence of this foolish slave woman," Su Manman's mind glanced at Mother Mellen with the corner of her eyes.

"Well, he was the one who advised me to poison the tea. Inevitably he should side with me, yes you should!"

Five minutes after waiting...

"Master, we've come with the evidence,"

Jie spoke quite seriously while discussing about the evidence.

"Say..."

"Which dares-dare mouse is playing with me," Su Luxie said with emphasis.

Jie changed her focus to Su Manman and Mother Mellen. With confidence Su Manman started smiling at Jie thus making the handsome man's forehead constrict.

"Head maid..."

"!"

"!"

The condition of the room became crisp when he heard the name begin to unfold.

"I never...

"The butler's head is not wrong in this, but Young Miss is guilty!"

"!"

"WHAT?!"

"Yes! The same poison was found inside Young Miss's room!"

"My master is ready to take orders,"

"!"

"!"

"No! Brother, you can't be like this! You can't punish me. Do you know who gave me advice?!"

"......."

"What do you mean, brother? So you're saying if anyone gives you advice, are you?"

"Yes!"

"Who's the guy?"

"Of course it's you! You're the one who gave me advice on poison so you can kill Mellen's mother with my hand, aren't you?!"

"!"

"!"

"YOUNG LADY! YOUR ACTIONS ARE OUT OF BOUNDS!!" hardik Merlyn's

"Out of what limits? This is a fact!" sahut Merlyn grinned...

"Ck, tsk, tsk...!!"

"So you mean..., I gave you a suggestion to poison the Chief Maid, did you?"

"Of course!"

"Can you show me the evidence?"

"!"

Su Luxie smirked "It's so naive,"
