Luo Cheng didn’t speak. He crossed his arms in front of his chest as he watched Elder Xu pace around in front of him.

Elder Xu paced back and forth in the study, his mind in a mess.

He had thought that the reason his health deteriorated was that he was getting old, but he never expected that he had been poisoned.

He was already in this state. Who would want him dead?

Did he get in someone’s way?

At this moment, Elder Xu recalled what Luo Cheng had just said and pondered hard.

Suspicious strangers? He hadn’t seen many unfamiliar faces in the past few months.

Could it be that his trusted aide had betrayed him?

That couldn’t be!

His trusted aides were all people who had been through thick and thin. He believed that they wouldn’t harm him.

Suddenly, a face suddenly flashed across Elder Xu’s mind.

“It’s him!” Elder Xu couldn’t help but shout.

“Who is it?” Luo Cheng asked when he heard Elder Xu’s words.

“It’s that fellow who feeds the horses in the stable, Daniu! Yes, it’s him! I walk my horse every day. Although my horse and I are already old, we’ve been together for so many years, so our relationship is naturally extraordinary. Therefore, I specially hired someone to take care of my horse so that my horse can live a more comfortable life. Unexpectedly, a few months ago, the person who took care of my horse fell ill, so I hired someone new. This person is Daniu!” Elder Xu sat opposite Luo Cheng and said slowly.

“How would a horse breeder poison you?” Luo Cheng wondered.

“That’s right! But other than Daniu, there are no other unfamiliar faces around me!” Elder Xu was also very puzzled.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran brought some fruits and pastries to the study. She looked at the two of them and asked curiously, “What are you two thinking about? Why isn’t anyone talking?!”

“We’re thinking about how a person who raises horses can poison the owner of the horse, and it’s the slow-acting kind of poison!” Elder Xu said.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.

“That’s very simple! Does the horse’s owner like that horse very much? Does he take the horse for a walk from time to time?”

“I take the horse for walks very often, but I don’t ride the horse! How could I get poisoned?” Elder Xu still didn’t understand.

Luo Cheng also looked at Li Xiaoran and waited for her to continue.

“The owner of this horse definitely bathes the horse personally, right?” Li Xiaoran asked again.

“That’s true. Whenever I have time, I’ll personally brush the horse and wash it! ” Elder Xu nodded and said firmly.

“As long as the other party poisons the horse’s grass and water, after the horse eats and drinks, the poison will come into contact with the horse’s owner through sweat. The poison will seep into the owner’s body day after day!” Li Xiaoran voiced her guess. “This method can be done without anyone noticing and without being suspected!”

Elder Xu stared at Li Xiaoran, clearly shocked.

Luo Cheng also came to a realization.

“You brat, you’ve picked up a treasure! She’s so smart! In the future, the child you two give birth to has to call me god-grandfather. I, Xu Guocheng, will have a grandson in the future!” Elder Xu suddenly thought of something and slapped his thigh as he laughed heartily.

When Li Xiaoran heard the other party’s words, her face immediately turned red.

“You guys can continue chatting. I’ll go out and take a look! ”

With that, Li Xiaoran ran out.

“Hahahaha, this girl is so shy!” Elder Xu teased.

“You don’t want to be detoxified anymore?” Luo Cheng looked at Xu Lai and threatened, “If I give birth to girls, you won’t have a grandson!”

“A girl is good too! I’ve always wanted a daughter or granddaughter. It would be even better if she looks like your mother! ” Elder Xu said with a smile.

Luo Cheng’s expression darkened, then he spat out three words.

“In your dreams!”

With that, Luo Cheng chased Elder Xu out of the study and said, “Which room in the house is empty? Stay there! Don’t expect me to tidy up your room or ask my wife to tidy it up for you. If you can’t tidy it up yourself, don’t stay here!”

“Alright, alright, I’ll go and tidy up myself now. I won’t let your wife do it! You actually know how to dote on your wife! I didn’t misjudge you!” As Elder Xu spoke, he left happily.

He found a random wooden bucket, carried some water, and took out the handkerchief he was carrying, then he started tidying up his room.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiu would come to clean the guest rooms in the Luo family’s house whenever she was free, so it wasn’t very dirty. He could move in after wiping the dust.

When Li Xiaoran was about to go to the vegetable garden to take a look, she saw Elder Xu tidying up his room and quickly ran over.

“Why are you cleaning up yourself? Let me do it!”

“No need. I clean my own house often as well! Look, this room is much cleaner!” Elder Xu waved his hand and said indifferently, “But there’s no comforter or blanket on this bed. Little girl, you have to bring me some!”

“Don’t worry, we have them at home. Sit down and rest first. I’ll get you a comforter and blanket now.” As Li Xiaoran spoke, she went to the place where the beddings were stored.

Just as Li Xiaoran carried the comforter and blanket over, Big Yellow and the others’ cries came from outside.

Elder Xu quickly walked out when he heard Big Yellow’s cry.

“Girl, help me lay it out! My men are probably outside. I have to welcome them!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll lay it out for you later. If you’re tired after you’re done, come back and rest!” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile.

Luo Cheng also noticed the commotion outside, so he placed what he had just written on the table and got up to leave.

When Li Xiaoran walked out of Elder Xu’s room, she saw Luo Cheng walking in.

“Husband, you didn’t send food to the others with Elder Xu?”

Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and thought of something.

“You went to tidy up your room?”

“When I went, the Old Master had already finished tidying up the room. I just made the bed for him and put on the comforter. What’s wrong?” Li Xiaoran asked in confusion.

“It’s nothing! Wife, if you have nothing to do, come over and help me! I’ll tell you how to brew medicine, so help me brew it!” Luo Cheng thought of something and said, “After Elder Xu and I come back from shopping in town later, stay at home and brew the medicine.. Remember, from the moment you take the medicine until Elder Xu comes back to drink the medicine, this medicine must not leave your sight!”
