Luo City’s beauty, Su Anan, was made to marry a sickly boy from the Shen family who was kept in the countryside to overturn his undesirable fate. It instantly became the talk of the town. Many lamented the fact that such a beauty was marrying a blind man. What a waste! But what stood out more was that Miss Su would probably soon become a widow, judging by how frail the Shen family’s son was. Gossip was rampant everywhere, but Su Anan remained calm and decisively got married. This was because she had actually been reborn, and she knew how severe the consequences were after being forced to run away from this marriage in her previous life. So, when she woke up and realized that she had returned to the eve of her wedding, she decided not to run away and would obediently get married. Initially, she thought that she would remain respectful and meet her husband’s needs in the marriage, but she never expected that this ill husband of hers would be so different from the rumors in her previous life… Didn’t they say he was blind? Didn’t they say he was sickly? Didn’t they say he would die soon?! Who said all this? Come out and admit it right now! Su Anan stumbled out of the room, holding her aching waist and sighed from the bottom of her heart. Ah, rumors were really unreliable!

I Turned Over A New Leaf After Marrying A Sickly Lord

Why would someone give such a potent drug to a delicate beauty like Su An'an, and in such a large dosage at that?


Or perhaps, it was intended for both of them?


Since didn't both drink from the wedding wine?


Everyone speculated on their own, with all sorts of versions.


Shen Juncheng was shocked to hear it was in the wine pot, "This, who is so malicious as to put it in the wedding wine? Luckily, my cough acted up again then, and Madam kindly poured me tea instead, otherwise..."


He didn't say more, leaving it understood, everyone knew what he meant.


Maybe it was falsely intended for the Young Madam, but truly for the Young Master, just that the Young Master didn't drink due to his cough and drank water instead, causing only the Young Madam to be poisoned.


Isn't it clear enough putting such an aphrodisiac in for an invalid?


To make one die in bed, and it can't be publicized.


Madam Liu was silent. If it was by Su An'an, she shouldn't be that stupid, using such a large dose, wasn't she instructed to use just a tiny bit?


For that sickly one, perhaps a drop could be fatal, and it couldn't be traced since the drug might have evaporated by then.


Madam Liu was confident, it was foolproof, but who would've thought Su An'an would faint instead.


"Aunt, you must seek justice for An'an and Cheng'er, find out who is so ruthless. Cheng'er is already like this, yet they wanted to kill him with such a vile method on the wedding night, resulting in An'an's misfortune... cough cough..."


Getting all worked up, Shen Juncheng coughed again.


Madam Liu had to suppress her doubts, displaying a face of sorrow as well, "Rest assured, Cheng'er, if anyone dares to harm you, your aunt will surely stand up for you."


With everyone watching her to issue orders, Madam Liu had no choice but to command, "Someone, bring all the kitchen staff here, to see who dares to drug the Young Master, so audacious."


After a moment, all the kitchen staff were brought in, each of them wailing, claiming innocence, protesting, "Young Master, we have been working on the estate for years, if there were ill intents, it would have been long ago, why wait till now, we're innocent."


Cries of innocence echoed, before Madam Liu spoke, Shen Juncheng suddenly stood and said, "Since everyone claims innocence, then search, whoever has the drug is the culprit."


Chao Sheng, obeying orders, left with several servants.


After a while, Chao Sheng returned shaking his head, finding nothing.


Searches of persons and rooms yielded no results.


Among the guests observing, one kindly mentioned: "Was there anyone entering or leaving the new room after the dishes were served? Maybe it wasn't from the source?"


At these words, Qing He immediately got a bad feeling.


Sure enough, the next second a maid quickly said, "Young Master, in the late afternoon, I saw Miss Qing He enter the new room, and she stayed for just half a cup of tea's time before coming out."


Another maid also said, "I saw too, Miss Qing He went to the new room."


Qing He hurriedly stood up, kneeling in panic, saying: "Young Master, it's true I went to the new room, but it was to convey Madam's orders. Madam was worried the Young Madam might be anxious about your safety, so she specifically sent me to reassure her."


Shen Juncheng asked Madam Liu, "Aunt, is that true?"


Madam Liu squinted her eyes, finally realizing, turning out it was aimed at her.


Ha, indeed, not as innocent as it seemed.
