Chapter 1382: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1382: The Culprits Are Two
Master Tan instantly regretted the delay, realizing that enough time had passed for the person who poisoned his son to destroy any evidence.
However, leaving traces behind is inevitable when someone commits a crime. Master Tan took a deep breath and said to Doctor Zhao, "I understand. I'll trouble you with this. I'll make sure to have the medicines you prescribed prepared and sent over as soon as possible."
Then, he turned to Shu Yu and said, "Lu Xiangjun, it's getting late. Stay at our mansion tonight and rest."
Indeed, it was quite late now, and with the upcoming imperial examination in two days, the city would be crowded, making it difficult to find accommodations at an inn.
Shu Yu nodded, "Thank you for your hospitality."
Master Tan instructed his wife to arrange food and lodging for their guests while he attended to other matters.
Doctor Zhao first administered a needle to Young Master Tan and then gave him a pill before having food prepared for him.
Madam Tan nervously watched as her son actually ate a bowl of noodles without any signs of aversion or rejection. She widened her eyes and was both crying and laughing. It had been so long since they had witnessed such a scene.
No doctor they had consulted before had been able to achieve this.
Madam Tan felt extremely grateful to Doctor Zhao and sent all kinds of delicious food and useful items to their room.
Shu Yu and Doctor Zhao stayed in the neighboring room. When she saw him return, she went over to have a meal together and inquire about some matters.
"Old Master Zhao, will you be staying at the Tan residence for the next half month?"
Doctor Zhao finished his meal, took a sip of water calmly, and then looked up, asking, "Why? Is there something you need here? You came to the Tan residence today especially to find us, right? Is something wrong?"
Shu Yu shook her head, "It's not a big deal. I have a friend who is unwell, and I need you to take a look at them."
To avoid being overheard, Shu Yu didn't mention Xiao Shi's identity or that she was poisoned.
Doctor Zhao was relieved, "That's not a problem. For the next half month, I'll primarily be helping Young Master Tan regulate his body. I'll only need to check on him briefly each day, so I won't be constantly present. Tomorrow, I'll tell Master Tan that I need to search for some medicinal ingredients myself, which will take a day, but it shouldn't be a big issue."
"Alright, we'll leave early tomorrow then."

After settling the matter, Shu Yu returned to her room.
However, she couldn't sleep well that night. She wanted to know the connection between the person who poisoned Young Master Tan and the Xiao family. Doctor Zhao had suggested that the poison was very rare.
Shu Yu was concerned about the link between the person who poisoned Young Master Tan and the Xiao family.
As for the Tan family, they were determined to uncover the culprit behind the poisoning. Master Tan was decisive, and that night, the whole Tan mansion was noisy and bustling.
The room where Shu Yu stayed was far away from the commotion, so it remained relatively quiet.
Early the next morning, she signaled to Doctor Zhao, who asked Master Tan if the culprit had been caught.
Thinking that Doctor Zhao was inquiring about the poison, Master Tan didn't conceal anything. With a tired expression, he said, "The person committed suicide. I suppose they realized they couldn't escape the consequences."
"Was there only one culprit?"
"Two. One was a servant who had been taking care of my son's daily life, and the other was a kitchen staff member," Master Tan's face turned grim. "But I'm afraid there are more. We'll continue the investigation."
