Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife Chapter 24 State The Obvious

Xi Ma released a deep breath. Judging the current situation, there's no need for the shopkeeper to try a walnut to prove that it's poisonous, but who will be able to stop this young woman is doing what she pleases?

The mute beggar's actions depend on her every word.

The crows on the roof is a clear warning for them who wants to act. What if the rest that already left decided to return?

If the master is not willing to show himself, Xi Ma is responsible for resolving this matter.

He is also wondering what his master thoughts are at that moment since it's impossible to miss the high number of crows. Wei Jiayi is fond of this type of birds.

The shopkeeper is lying on the ground, eyes closed. His face shows his extreme agony from all the wounds in his whole body.

He intentionally did not move as he is not aware the crows are now far from him. The plans that he has formulated to get out of the Medical Pavilion on a better condition is not going anywhere.

With his brows still wrinkled while he silently endured the pain, an object was forced into his mouth.

He tried to spit it out but failed as there is something stopping him from opening his mouth. He felt like choking from it.

Wait. Walnut! This is a walnut!

As soon as realizing this, he desperately tried to pry open his mouth. His painful hands tried to remove the hand that is stopping him do so. Still no avail despite all his effort.

On a normal basis, the old mute beggar won't be able to smoothly force the shopkeeper to do what he wants, but since shopkeeper is injured, the shopkeeper does not have enough means and energy to retaliate.

Based on the old mute beggar's judgment the time is still enough for the other physicians to check the shopkeeper's pulse to confirm the presence of poison.

After he moved away from the shopkeeper, Xi Ma waived his hand as an indication for the physicians of the Medical Pavilion to attend to Shopkeeper Yu immediately.

While doing so, Gao Lan Mei action is well observed by Xi Ma, that's why he did not miss the sharp glint of her eyes.

"He is poisoned Young Master Xi'' Confirmed by one of the physicians that have checked the shopkeeper's pulse.

'State the obvious, shall we?' He wants to sarcastically retort but refrained to do so. Xi Ma snorted.

"Gather all remaining pieces of walnuts for further investigation." He stated instead with a tired expression.

"Everyone, please leave the Medical Pavilion, we will be closing for the day. I hope everyone understands." He faces the remaining audience. Xi Ma wants them to leave immediately.

Since there was no need to watch, they left with no words.

"Xi Ma, do not hesitate to let us know if there is anything the Ming family can do to help." Ming Ya said. She decided to stay to offer support to Xi Ma.

The second daughter of the Ming family desires to marry into the Wei Palace. She is one of the most beautiful women in the s.h.i.+zi Empire.

She's already pa.s.sed her marriageable age but she insisted that she only wants to marry Prince Wei who seldom goes out of his palace.

With a deep sigh, "We appreciate that Miss Ming, we can take care of this. For anything else, we will let you know."
