Chapter 971 Manor in Hand
Shu Yu naturally wouldn’t let herself suffer a loss. The next day, she went to the Manor with Daniu to negotiate the purchase of it from Jiang Kuanyu.
Jiang Kuanyu hadn’t seen Little Ya’er and seemed worried. "Is she alright?"
"She’s fine now. The doctor said she ate something unclean and got mildly poisoned. I went to check on her before heading out this morning. Although she’s still unconscious, her complexion looks much better than yesterday, and her fever has gone down. With a couple of days’ rest, she should recover just fine."
Jiang Kuanyu was startled. "Poisoned?"
Shu Yu nodded. "She probably ate some wild fruits or mushrooms while hiding in that grove because she was too hungry."
Jiang Kuanyu recalled seeing some fruit pits scattered on the ground when he descended the steep slope.
Deep down, he felt somewhat fortunate. Thankfully, Monarch Lu Xiang came over to buy the Manor and even proposed visiting the tenants’ homes. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have known Ms. Tang had already killed two people.
If they had discovered it late, they would not only have no idea where to look for the missing people, but they might have assumed that Ms. Tang took Little Ya’er away—whether to sell her or harm her. They wouldn’t have been able to save her life so promptly.
Knowing she was safe now, Jiang Kuanyu finally felt at ease.
