However, when he heard Qin Yue's question, he did not know why, but he suddenly felt a sense of hope in his heart.
Perhaps the other party really did know of this!
”Grandpa Yu, I wonder if you have been bitten by any animals in half a year, or if you have eaten anything strange?” Qin Yue asked.
Old Man Yu thought for a long time, then slowly shook his head after confirming that there was no mistake, and replied: ”No, I haven't even broken my skin in the past half year. Moreover, my food and drinks are all taken care of by special people, let alone half a year, even if it were ten years, I wouldn't be able to eat anything randomly …”
At this point, old man Yu's words suddenly paused, then he said in disbelief: ”Little Qin, do you mean there's a problem with the food I eat?”
However, the moment the words left his mouth, they were all rejected by Old Man Yu himself.
”The food is under the personal care of my housekeeper, Old Xu. My food is only delivered to me after verification and verification. It's impossible for anything to go wrong here. Xiao Qin, did you get something wrong?”
”Impossible, I'm definitely not mistaken!” Qin Yue shook his head, and said extremely confidently: ”This poison can only be ingested into a person's body, and according to the characteristics of this poison, it will take more than half a year to completely erupt within the body, so other than your diet, I really can't think of any other ways you can come into contact with this poison, and it's from here every single day.”
”But that's impossible! All of my food, including water, has been strictly tested. According to the current developed standards, there is no poison that can be detected … ”
Suddenly, Old Man Yu seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils abruptly constricted: ”You mean Old Xu has a problem?”
Thinking about this result, old man Yu's head suddenly buzzed, his body tilted, and he almost fell off the wooden couch. Luckily, Yu Jiaojiao at the side had reacted quickly, and supported the old man immediately.
”Did you get something wrong? Housekeeper Xu has followed my grandfather for forty years. I was watched by Housekeeper Xu since I was young, could there be some other reason? ” Yu Jiaojiao said with an expression of disbelief.
Although she was unwilling to believe that the Housekeeper Xu, who had stayed in her home for forty years, would actually do such a thing, but according to the situation they were in, Qin Yue's words did not seem to be wrong. Only the Housekeeper Xu had the chance to do such a thing.
However, before this matter was confirmed, neither she nor the lordmaster was willing to believe it.
Looking at the two people who were shocked, Qin Yue did not probe deeper into the matter. He remained silent for a while, and during this period, his gaze was constantly moving about the room, until his gaze finally stopped at the tea table.
On the tea table, there was a bowl of porridge and a few dishes that had been cooked very softly. One could tell that these were dishes that had been prepared specifically for Old Man Yu.
Because he was so ill, old man Yu could only eat food that was like liquid food.
”Grandpa Yu, did you just bring these dishes over today?” Qin Yue walked to the tea table and asked.
”That's right, I felt that my mental state was quite good in the morning, so I asked Old Xu to prepare some food for me. But who knew that not long after I finished eating, the disease would relapse.”
Old man Yu couldn't help but slightly frown as he thought of the pain of his illness.
Qin Yue did not continue the conversation. He silently took out the needle from earlier and stirred it in the food, then used his spirit energy to check the needle carefully.
Under the effect of the spiritual energy, the silver needle began to slowly change. In the end, the originally colorless silver needle began to turn pitch black. Not long after, the entire needle became pitch black.
The food was poisonous!
