221 Reunion (1)

When it was almost noon, Su Yuan, Su Qi, Su Yu, and the others returned to the capital.

The first thing Su Qi and Su Yu did was fight to visit their grandfather.

"I'll go first!"

"I'll go first!"

The two brothers tugged at each other, neither giving in.

In the end, Su Yu took half a step ahead of his second brother and squeezed into the Old Marquis's house.

The brothers, who had been arguing outside, immediately fell silent as soon as they entered the Old Marquis's room.

Seeing that their grandfather, who could still practice boxing in the courtyard before they set off, lie weakly on the sick bed, their eyes turned red.

"What happened to Grandpa?" Su Yu choked.

The letter said that their grandfather's health was not good, but they did not expect it to be so bad.

Su Qi blamed himself. "It's all my fault. If I had known... I wouldn't have gone to the crowning ceremony..."

"It's not your fault, Second Brother." It was rare for Su Yu not to undermine Second Brother. "You can't help much in the residence."

Su Qi sniffed. "At least I can accompany Grandpa..."

Su Yu said, "Second Brother, don't think too highly of yourself."

Su Qi was speechless.

Su Yuan also came over to see the Old Marquis. Then, he went to the study next door with a pained heart.

"What did Physician Fu say?" Su Yuan asked.

Su Mo did not hide anything from his father. "He was poisoned. He also has heart disease."

Su Yuan was shocked and grabbed the armrest of the chair. "What? How did your grandfather get poisoned?"

The heart illness was surprising, but the poisoning was even more unbelievable.

Su Mo said, "I'm secretly investigating, but I still have no clue. I've asked Grandpa about his daily diet, and there's nothing strange. We can rule out the possibility that he was accidentally poisoned."

The so-called accidental poisoning referred to the suppression of food. Such a situation was rare, but it was not unheard of.

The Old Marquis' poison clearly did not belong to such a situation.

Su Mo continued, "I suspect... that someone poisoned Grandpa, but I haven't found out how or where."

Su Yuan nodded and agreed with his son's guess. "Who would poison your grandfather?"

Su Mo said seriously, "My grandfather has been in the military his entire life. He's upright and has made countless enemies. I'm afraid it's very difficult to lock in the murderer based on the motive. From the perspective of the beneficiaries, the first beneficiary is actually Father."

Su Yuan hesitated.

Su Mo said, "If Grandpa passes away, Father can smoothly inherit the position of Marquis of Zhenbei. I know that Father won't frame Grandpa, but the officials in the court and the citizens in the capital all know that Grandpa had a big fight with Father a few months ago. Grandpa even threatened to abolish Father's position as the heir and return the title of Marquis to the Imperial Court."

Su Yuan smiled bitterly. "So, in order to protect my title, I'm very likely to attack your grandfather."

Su Mo's eyes were firm. "Father won't, but rumors will cause trouble."
