189 Already Caught the Person Who Had Poisoned Her Master

Lingbao simply pulled Gu Qingxue’s hand, “I’ll let mother eat it too.”

Gu Qingxue only looked at the three children who were thinking of her, and her heart immediately softened, “Mother has eaten it. This peach is very sweet, and it’s rare. You guys should eat it quickly.”

Gu Lin looked at gu qingxue suspiciously, “Mother, have you really eaten it?”

Gu Qingxue smiled, “Of course. Otherwise, how would mother know that this winter peach is sweet? You guys should eat it quickly.”

Only then did the three children feel at ease. Each of them took a bite of the peach in their hands. It was crisp, sweet, and filled with the fragrance of the peach. It was unbelievably delicious.

Seeing that the three children were eating happily, Gu Qingxue’s gaze became even gentler.

Actually, she had only found five peaches. However, seeing that the three children missed her so much, it did not matter whether she ate them or not.

“These peaches are so delicious. They remind me of the white mushrooms that Xiaohu gave to our family.” After eating the peaches, Dumby licked his lips reluctantly.

“I also remember those white mushrooms. They are much better than ordinary mushrooms when used to stew chickens. Mother, are you going to go up the mountain tomorrow? If you go up the mountain, can you pick some white mushrooms?” Lingbao asked with anticipation.

Gu Qingxue thought for a moment and recalled the white mushrooms that the three children mentioned.

Li Xiaohu’s father was a hunter in the village. He had gone up the mountain to hunt, but it happened to be raining, so he happened to see a very rare white mushroom.

Li Xiaohu’s father had brought the white mushroom that day to ask Gu Qingxue if it could be eaten. After learning from Gu Qingxue that it could be eaten, he had generously given half of the white mushroom he had picked to her family.

That day, she had cooked a chicken stewed mushroom after a long time, and the three children had enjoyed it immensely.

Gu Qingxue was about to agree when Gu Lin stopped her younger brother and sister, “Have you forgotten what Xiaohu’s father said? He had never come across that kind of mushroom before. It was probably because of the rain that he had come across it by chance. There are more dangers on the rainy mountain. We can’t let mother put herself in danger.

“Then we won’t eat the white mushrooms. Mother, you have to be careful when you go up the mountain tomorrow. Come back soon,” Lingbao warned worriedly.

“Okay,” Gu Qingxue agreed, but in her heart, she had already remembered the matter of the white mushrooms.

Her babies wanted to eat the white mushrooms. How could she not agree? The weather had warmed up a little over the past few days. If she was lucky, it would rain. She might really be able to help the three children pick some mushrooms.

Without showing it on her face, Gu Qingxue changed the topic and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

At the same time, in the prince regent’s manor.

The atmosphere in the study room was cold, and the gloomy atmosphere shrouded the study room like a haze. Ji Yan was so scared that he did not even dare to breathe heavily. He looked carefully at Rong Zhan who was sitting in the main seat and the man in green who was kneeling in front of the table.

When his gaze fell on the man in green, Ji Yan’s expression changed from awe to sympathy.

The man in green even knelt on one knee. He was so scared by the pressure released by Rong Zhan that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Rong Zhan sat in front of the table expressionlessly and asked coldly, “So, the clues are gone?”

Qing Lian answered nervously, “Yes… we clearly caught the tail of the person who poisoned master, but unexpectedly, it was the other party who deliberately exposed the clues to us. We almost lost a few secret guards and only killed a few of the other party’s death warriors. The clues are gone.”
