Chapter 33: I Should Never Have Let You Cross the Threshold

"What is this thingNot only was Song Jiuli curious, but everyone in the dilapidated temple was also curious. Jiang Wan took about two kilograms and handed it to Ren Bang next to her."Big Brother Ren,..."Poisonous"

Shen Qian brushed her gaze towards Jiang Wan, discovering they seemed to have nothing to do. Only then did she realize, they hadn't eaten the mushrooms Song Jiuli picked at all.

"You bitch!"

Song Erniang slapped Shen Qian's face. "I think you are the one who brings bad luck!"

Although she and Jiang Wan entered the household at the same time and were banished at the same time, the big house is doing well now, while it's actually the second house that's having difficulties.

"Mother, I didn't know that mushroom was poisonous."

Shen Qian was eager to explain, but it was useless. Song Sanniang also grabbed her hair and slapped her hard several times.

"You want to kill us!"

"I don't!"

Shen Qian felt too wronged. She had clearly done it to ensure everyone wouldn't starve, but now she was the one being blamed.

Everyone glared at her with resentment, even Song Chen, who weakly cursed at her.

"Shen Qian, I want to divorce you!"

"My husband."

Shen Qian clutched onto a tree, sobbing loudly. A wicked thought welled up in her mind, making her head spin and feel nauseous. The metallic taste of blood lingered in her mouth.

But she seemed to catch a glimpse of ginger-haired Wan's lips curving into a smile in the distance.

"Ginger, you must have done this on purpose. Are you satisfied now"

She staggered toward Jiang Wan, her voice hoarse and raspy. Her hair was a mess, she looked like a lunatic, quite frightening.

"I'm quite satisfied."

Ginger felt that if the original owner could see this, she would be quite happy. Her eyes crinkled at the corners of her smile.

"But you can't blame me for this, after all, you picked the mushrooms yourself. I didn't make you eat them."

"You could have reminded us!"

Old Madam Song narrowed her eyes, sizing up Jiang Wan, "You viper woman, you shouldn't have been allowed to cross the threshold!"

She'd been fighting in the backyard her whole life, and now it was truly a case of "a clever woman can't cook without rice." Without servants, she, all by herself, couldn't even manage to gingerly wrangle that little yellow-haired girl.

"This isn't up to you."

Song Dajiao scoffed, "Ginger is my daughter-in-law, and that's all that matters to me."

After she finished speaking, she pulled on ginger's hand and said, "Wanwan, let's go quickly. It just so happens that we can stop by the village for a rest."

"Okay, Mother."

Ginger smiled and helped Song's wife catch up with the others. She could see that the old Song family was lagging behind.

Old Zhang's whip lashed out at Shen Qian, "What are you doing standing there Get lost!"

"My Lord, we've been poisoned."

Chen Qian didn't want to die with Jiang Wan, but she had no strength. At this moment, she felt it was difficult to even lift her foot to take a step.

"My lord, please, please help us, find a doctor for us!"

Song Sanniang pleaded with Lao Zhang, but Lao Zhang glanced at them indifferently, his whip dangling lightly in his hand.

"Don't waste time, go to the village doctor!"

"Quick, let's go to the village to find a doctor to antidote!"

Song Lao Fu's reaction came, she hurriedly hugged Song Yang tightly. Several people supported each other and followed the team's pace.

At the front, Song Jiu Li carefully glanced at Jiang Wan, as if she had something to say, but didn't know how to start.

Ginger remained silent, then simply said, "Just say what you want to say."

"Sister-in-law, did you and Big Brother know that the mushrooms were poisonous all along"

Song Jiuli thought for a moment before speaking. Jiang Wan had expected her to say she was ruthless, and said angrily:

If I didn't know, your current situation would be the same as Shen Qian's.

Who knew Song Jiuli's eyes sparkled, "Sister-in-law, you're amazing."

"He said at the end, 'I'm such an idiot, I even joined her in grabbing the poisonous mushrooms.'"

Without you grabbing it, she probably wouldn't have dared to eat it.

Jiang Wan scoffed, Shen Qian just liked to snatch things from others. If no one was vying for it, she might not even want it.

"That's right, she deserved to be sick and beaten!"

Song Jiu Li snorted and glanced at the old lady, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. After all, her grandmother had been quite kind to her before.

"Don't be soft-hearted, or I'll cut you."

"Mrs. Song patted Song Jiu-li, "Don't forget how they took care of your elder brother when he had a fever."

Song Jiu Li was silent. Yes, they had never treated her older brother as family. Why should she be soft-hearted

Thinking this way, Song Jiu-Li felt the poisonous mushroom in her hand was getting hot. "Since it's a poisonous mushroom, I'll throw it away."

"No."

Actually, she not only knows medicine but also poisons. Such a good mushroom shouldn't be wasted.

Although these mushrooms weren't poisonous, Ginger still put them away to grind into powder when she had time.

As they were speaking, they arrived at the village. It is unknown what Ren Bangtong had discussed with the village headman, but nonetheless, they were led to the threshing floor in the village center.

Soon, Li Zheng arrived with the doctor. Ginger warmed them as they rested on one side, and the doctor naturally had to examine the officials first.

At this moment, Song Sanniang, despite her frail health, managed to reach the officials and doctors.

"Doctor, please, please help me look at my son. My son has been poisoned."

At that moment, the three wives felt sympathy for her son and gave all her mushrooms to him. She drank some soup herself, but by now, Song Yang was almost losing consciousness.

Song Erniang also walked over with difficulty and knelt before Ren Bang, "Sir Official, please save us."

"Let my brother see it first."

Ren Bang remained stoic, ignoring them. Naturally, the physician wouldn't disobey him, so he first examined several of the officials.

Seeing Song Yang sweating all over, Song San Niang finally couldn't hold back any longer. She suddenly pulled out the insole from her shoe and dug out a silver note from inside it.

"My lord, please, I beg you, save my child!"

Look closely, it was a silver note worth one hundred taels. Song Erniang's eyes widened, thinking to herself, "So you say you didn't steal my silver note"

This bank note must have been stolen from me, but at this moment, in order to save her life, Song Erniang held back.

Looking at the Song family members so humbly begging for help, Song Jiuli felt a pang of sadness. She knew right from wrong, but she was afraid her heart would soften.

Ginger watched with great interest as the once haughty figures now bowed their heads before people they wouldn't have even glanced at in the past.

Not until the doctor had finished treating the official and the attendants had departed did Ren Bang take the silver note from San Niangzi's hand and give some small change to the doctor.

"Why don't you go take a look at them"

"Okay."

The doctor got up and went to examine them. Duan, being rather astute, described in detail the mushrooms they had eaten.

The doctor immediately gave them antidote, after a few bowls of medicine they felt some relief.

Ginger was too lazy to pay attention to them. She had gone out for a while, and now the officials didn't bother with her at all. She could come and go freely. If she really wanted to run away, it wouldn't be difficult at all.

When she came back, she was carrying a roasted chicken from the Imperial Kitchen. The old Song family had been suffering terribly after being poisoned by mushrooms.

And while they were enjoying the fragrant roast chicken, Song Jiuyuan took a bite and was stunned again.

The taste of this roast chicken was also strangely familiar. He looked at Ginger Wan suspiciously. This time, Ginger Wan keenly sensed something was amiss.

"What are you looking at me for"take care of myself. There's nothing I can do about it."It's rare to see Song Jiuli not radiating a "holy mother" aura. Jiang Wan was a little surprised, but her being able to change is a good thing f...
