Chapter 1588: Someone Behind The Scenes
At that moment, the medicine in the capsule smelled completely wrong. She could not detect the medicine’s composition just by smelling it for the time being. She had to wait until she got it to the system lab to test the composition of the powder.
“You mean that the medicine has been swapped?” After all, Old Madam Liang was someone who had experienced hardships, so she immediately guessed Jiang Yao’s meaning.
“Yes.” Jiang Yao was sure about it. She rubbed the medicine on her fingertips and watched as the powder melted on her fingertips, leaving behind a thick viscosity. “Sugar?”
“Grandma’s medicine has always been in her bedside cabinet at home. How could it have been swapped?” Xiao Ya was also shocked. “There’s no one else at home—”
Before Xiao Ya could say anything, Old Madam Liang said, “The new servant!”
“Aunt Huang?” Xiao Ya exclaimed.
Old Madam Liang said, “Before the New Year, our old servant quit her job because she had to go back to her hometown to take care of her grandchildren. Later, we got a new servant, and she has been working in our house for a few months. If someone changed my medicine, then I would suspect her.”
The rest of the people in the Liang family had been working for the family for more than a decade, or even decades. They were people that the Liang family could trust.
“Maybe Aunt Huang has family members with high blood pressure? Maybe she swapped Grandma’s medicine for them.” Xiao Ya guessed.
“Impossible.”
“That’s not right.”
Old Madam Liang and Jiang Yao rejected Xiao Ya’s guess simultaneously.
Old Madam Liang looked at Jiang Yao with admiration in her eyes. “Tell me.”
Jiang Yao nodded and smiled before she said, “The capsules I made were smaller than those commonly available on the market. Xiao Ya, look at the fake medicine. It’s the same size as the one I made, so a single servant couldn’t have made this. If that servant really changed it, then there must be someone behind that servant. The person behind this fake medicine must have provided it to her.”
After Jiang Yao finished speaking, she looked at Old Madam Liang and said, “Looking at Grandma Liang’s condition, this medicine has been changed for quite some time. However, that medicine doesn’t seem to have any harmful ingredients. It feels like sugar, so the person behind the scenes doesn’t want to hurt Grandma Liang.”
“Ah?” Xiao Ya was dumbfounded by what she heard.
“He faked the medicine and went through so much trouble to find your servant to change your medicine. It’s not like he’s trying to harm you. Then, what exactly is his purpose? It can’t be because of that medicine, right?” Mrs. Lu also felt that that matter sounded too strange. Who would go through so much trouble just for the medicine? Could they not purchase the medicine at the pharmacy?
“Just find out what the reason is.” Jiang Yao patted Old Madam Liang’s hand and said, “I’ll give Liang Yueze a call. Uncle Liang is currently busy in Province A. It should be fine to leave this to Liang Yueze.”
Jiang Yao let Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu accompany Old Madam Liang while she called Liang Yueze on her phone.
“Grandma’s medicine has been changed.” After Liang Yueze heard Jiang Yao’s words, his mood turned gloomy and scary. It was so terrifying that even his voice had become somewhat cold.
“Grandma Liang and Xiao Ya suspect that it’s Aunt Huang. Go and investigate. There must be someone behind her actions..” Then, Jiang Yao asked, “Does anyone else besides your family know that Grandma Liang left the hospital and came to my place?”
