Yu Hongxiu, with her mouth wide open in surprise, forgot all about maintaining her noblewoman's image. She grabbed Bai Ruozhu and asked, "A poison, really? Are you sure?"
Bai Ruozhu nodded seriously, "The poison is unusual, moreover it would have to be administered over a long period to its target, so this issue is not a simple one."
While Yu Hongxiu had grown up in a grand manor in Jiangnan, unlike the hotheaded Mr. Xie, after brief consideration, she nodded and said, "You've thought about this very thoroughly. I seem to have brought trouble upon myself for no reason."
Bai Ruozhu patted her hand back in reassurance, saying, "You can't blame yourself for this, who would have thought we could encounter something like this in a small town?"
