Sang Li immediately walked to the door and asked, "How did he die? Throat slit?"

"No, he was stabbed through the heart with a sword."

Sang Li looked thoughtfully at Third Aunt in the room.

At this moment, Xia He, who had gone to get medicine, also came back with medicine.

Xiao Han took the medicine and checked it roughly. Due to the poor lighting, she did not notice anything wrong with it for the time being.

She took out all the medicine and carefully arranged it on the table.

"Miaomiao, give me your phone for a second," Xiao Han said.

Xia Miaomiao came over and handed her phone to Xiao Han.

Xiao Han turned on the flashlight and shone it on the medicine, inspecting it carefully.

Everyone saw her using the phone for lighting and they were all very surprised.

Everyone was waiting for Xiao Han's inspection results.

After a long time, Xiao Han finally found a tiny bit of medicinal residue in the medicine dregs.

She picked it up and looked at it carefully, then smelled it, "It should be this."

"What is this?" Xia Miaomiao asked.

"Oleander, poisonous, but such a tiny bit is not enough to poison someone to death," Xiao Han said.

After hearing this, Second Aunt immediately threw herself over, incredulously saying, "How is that possible? How could it be poisonous? Old Master ate it and was clearly fine!"

"Such a small amount indeed wouldn't do anything, but how long has Old Master Bai been taking it? Harmless things can become harmful over time! Just three grams of dried oleander can be fatal, but a very small amount is added to each dose of medicine, making it very difficult to detect."

After hearing Xiao Han's words, Second Aunt collapsed to the ground, her face pale, simply unable to accept that she had indirectly caused Old Master Bai's death.

Second Aunt crawled over, grabbing Lady Bai's skirt. "I didn't know, I really didn't know, Madam, I really didn't know!"

Bai Yunchen also knelt down, "Mother, there's no way Second Aunt would harm Father!"

Sang Li walked in, "Madam, Second Aunt was likely taken advantage of by someone, but now the pharmacy owner who sold the medicine has been killed to keep him silent, so we've lost that lead."

Lady Bai rubbed her temples, somewhat wearily saying, "Alright, everyone go rest for the night, it's late, we'll discuss it again tomorrow."

Only after the group of people withdrew did Lady Bai leave. As she left, she glanced at Third Aunt, who still had a haggard and delicate appearance.

Sang Li and Bai Yunhan walked out of the courtyard together.

"Master Bai, please keep a close eye on Third Aunt," Sang Li said.

Bai Yunhan paused, "I understand, does Miss Sang suspect Third Aunt is the murderer?"

"She is very suspicious. Do you know anything about her background?"

"I only know that Father rescued her from the hands of the Renya gang. In the Bai household she doesn't fight or compete for favor, and she's relatively younger than my mother and Second Aunt. My father quite liked her in the past."

"Did Old Master Bai have any enemies in the past? Could this be someone seeking revenge?"

Bai Yunhan shook his head, "No, my father only had some conflict with the Li family."
