102.2.In A Great Mess

Chau- I am fairly sure that "gold-dissolving water" is aqua regia, a powerfulhydrochloric-nitric acid, so... Even if there was no poison in the gold, thecorrosive acid probably would have killed the dog anyways. Uhh, so... I thinkthis might be a plot-hole or artistic liberty, but my knowledge of chemistry islimited, so feel free to update me on this. Main source: :)

1 - Presumably referring to the acid known as aqua regia, Latin for king's water

LaoFuren walked away with Min Zhi. Jiang Yue Lan felt her body go limp and had tolean against Rong Mama.

RongMama was puzzled. She couldn't understand. Furen looked after the child withgreat care. How could this happen? She quickly helped Jiang Yue Lan sit downand brought a cup of tea over. She said softly, "The cold weather isunavoidable, Lao Furen misunderstood Furen. Don't take it to heart."

JiangYue Lan who was just shocked moments ago, had now returned to normal. Sheaccepted the cup of tea but didn't drink it. She slowly asked: "What justhappened?"

Rongmama pondered over and guessed: "Was it San Xiaojie's scheme to return thechild to Qi Yiniang?"

JiangYue Lan shook her head: "I believe that she wants to bring the child back, butI don't believe she would use poisonous insects to hurt Li Min Zhi. Didn't yousee her face earlier, there was surprise and anger!"

RongMama became even more anxious: "But even then, the first person Laoye and LaoFuren will blame is Furen! What do we do now?"

JiangYue Lan let out a sad sigh. She glanced at the pile of elaborate, newlyembroidered children's clothes and said: "Now I am forced to suffer in silence,unable to voice my grievances. If something happened to Min Zhi, I'm afraid LiWei Yang and Qi Yiniang will resent me to death. I wanted to use the child tocontrol Li Wei Yang, but now I only ended up losing the rice used to lure thechicken I tried to steal."

RongMama lamented: "Furen was wronged this time."

"Ijust don't understand. My servants were always careful with his food. What wasthe issue?" Jiang Yue Lan subconsciously caressed the children's clothes andsaid, "I have to find out who acted behind my back!"

RongMama said: "Nubi also does not understand. Who would have the chance to harm SiShaoye?"

JiangYue Lan shook her head, her eyebrows furrowed: "Qi Yiniang is blessed with goodfortune. Her child is also hard to attend to.Even if there were more people taking care of him, they would not do agood job. With that many people around, someone may have used it as anopportunity to act. Relay my order to thoroughly investigate!"

Manypeople mean many hands and feet. Perhaps someone used it as an opportunity toact! Deliver my order, we must investigate thoroughly!"

RongMama quickly responded: "Nubi understands." Seeing Jiang Yue Lan stand up, RongMama wondered: "Where is Furen going?"

JiangYue Lan frowned: "I must see Lao Furen!"

"Furen,Lao Furen is furious right now, if you go now——" Rong Mama was worried.

JiangYue Lan said: "Mama must be confused. If I'm not there right now, it will beeven easier for others to blame me."

RongMama immediately understood and quickly helped Jiang Yue Lan reach He XiangCourtyard. When they arrived, they saw that not only Li Wei Yang, but even LiXiao Ran and the other Yiniangs had come. Rong Mama felt even more afraid. Itseemed that the situation had turned into a great mess.
