Chapter 715: Sneaking Xue Zongguang

Gu Yundong ignored the two of them and asked Ah Zhu to send them to the officials with the tenants.
She walked back to the herb garden. Shao Qingyuan turned to look at her. “Are you done venting? Does your hand hurt?”
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of ointment. “This ointment has the effect of reducing swelling, bruises, and pain. Apply it first.”
When Xue Zongguang, who followed them out, heard this, his face could not help but twitch.
Gu Yundong did not take the ointment. “It’s fine. There’s no need to apply it. How’s Big Black?”
“Fortunately, his life is not in danger.” The vet wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed. “But the injury on his leg is a little serious. I’m afraid he won’t be able to walk smoothly in the future.”
Gu Yundong squatted in front of Big Black again. Perhaps it understood the vet’s words, but the light in its eyes slowly dimmed.
The fur around its wound had been shaved off, making it look a little strange.
After the veterinarian treated Big Black, he asked someone to carry the wooden board with Big Black on it to the farmstead.
Gu Yundong looked at it lying there and felt depressed. After a long time, she returned to the manor with Shao Qingyuan.
Xue Zongguang got someone to clean up the herb orchard and orchard before hurriedly following.
However, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he rushed towards the room where the three of them lived.
After entering the house, Xue Zongguang did not have time to wipe his sweat, and he rummaged around in the cabinet. After a while, he took out a key and opened the box. He took out a small paper bag.
Then, he took a small paper bag into the small kitchen not far away and brought over the kettle that was boiling on the stove. He poured two glasses of water.
He was in a hurry, and there was sweat on his forehead as if he was too nervous.
This made Tong Shuitao, who was about to enter the kitchen, feel especially strange. She kept feeling that the steward of this manor was acting suspiciously and definitely had evil intentions.
Therefore, Tong Shuitao quietly hid outside the kitchen and stared at him.
Xue Zongguang did not realize it. After he poured the water, he felt that something was missing.
A moment later, he patted his head, opened the cupboard, and took out a small porcelain jar.
There was white sugar in the small porcelain jar. Xue Zongguang poured some into the cup.
Finally, he took out the small paper bag from his sleeve. After opening it, he gritted his teeth and shook it all into one of the cups.
Tong Shuitao, who was outside the door, widened her eyes in shock. What… what did this Xue guy want to do?
Could it be that he planned to pour two cups of tea for Young Master Shao and his daughter?
Tong Shuitao was so angry that her face turned red. As expected, he was not a good person. The stuff in that paper bag must be poison. Was he trying to poison Miss to make way for his daughter?
No, that wasn’t right. He would have to go to jail even if he poisoned his master.
He must have wanted to paralyze her.
Tong Shuitao pursed her lips tightly. Seeing that Xue Zongguang was about to come out, she quickly turned around and hid.
She would personally expose his scheme in front of Young Miss and Young Master later.
Tong Shuitao snorted and carefully followed behind Xue Zongguang.
Then, Xue Zongguang walked out of the kitchen but did not go to the central room. Instead, he went in another direction.
Finally, he stopped at the door of a room and knocked on the door with a cup of tea.
Footsteps quickly came from inside, followed by Madam Wan’s face.
“Her father, why are you here?” Madam Wan asked softly. “Is everything alright in the herb garden?”
Xue Zongguang shook his head. “Everything is fine now.”
Then, he looked at Xue Qin, who was still angry, sitting on the edge of the bed and sighed slightly.
