Chapter 2316: Chapter 2316: Conspiracy!

He opened his mouth and asked.

"Hmm." Lin Caisang nodded in response.

...

In the City Lord’s Mansion.

After returning home, the City Lord’s wife changed her clothes and went straight to the front courtyard to find Lu Tianlan.

"Madam, why have you come here? If there’s anything you need, just have the servants inform me, and I will come over."

Upon seeing his wife, Lu Tianlan, who had been frowning, stood up from his chair and went over to support the City Lord’s wife, letting her sit down to rest lest she tire herself out.

But the City Lord’s wife waved her hand at him.

"City Lord, I have something to tell you, something very important." She looked at Lu Tianlan with utmost seriousness and said.

Hearing her words, Lu Tianlan was momentarily taken aback, but quickly collected himself and instructed everyone in the study to leave. No guards or secret agents were left behind.

"Madam, what matter is so important?"

Once everyone had left and the study door was closed, he asked.

"City Lord, have you ever heard of a plant called Heavenly Frost Night Leaf?" the City Lord’s wife asked.

"Heavenly Frost Night Leaf?"

Lu Tianlan repeated her words, knitting his brows together.

He was not an alchemist, so naturally, he was not very familiar with medicinal herbs. He had never even heard of Heavenly Frost Night Leaf.

But at this moment, since his wife mentioned it, it must certainly be related to the important matter she wanted to discuss.

"Yes, Heavenly Frost Night Leaf. The poison in the flower of this plant can make a woman appear pregnant, with symptoms identical to those of pregnancy, to the point where even a pulse diagnosis cannot detect the truth."

Word by word, the City Lord’s wife said to him.

She could feel that with each word she spoke, her hatred for Lu Tianfeng grew.

"You—"

As for Lu Tianlan, upon hearing her words, he widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Madam, you... you can’t mean to say..."

His gaze shifted to his wife’s abdomen, and although he did not want to believe it, he could not help but suspect if she was referring to herself.

"City Lord, ever since I learned of Lu Tianfeng’s ulterior motives, I couldn’t put my mind at ease and wanted to find an alchemist to examine me." The City Lord’s wife sighed softly, shaking her head.

"But most of the alchemists in the City Lord’s Mansion have connections with Lu Tianfeng, so I didn’t dare to randomly find one.

So yesterday, I had someone find an alchemist in the city, and today I went out of the mansion specifically to have her diagnose me, only to find out that I wasn’t pregnant at all but had been poisoned!"

"You went outside?"

Upon hearing his wife went outside, Lu Tianlan first furrowed his brows.

But realizing that someone had diagnosed that she wasn’t pregnant but poisoned, his entire heart felt as if it was suddenly covered in ice, leaving him cold and trembling.

Poisoned, actually poisoned?!

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Since it’s poison, did the alchemist say how to detoxify it?"

After being stunned for a moment, once he came to his senses, he immediately asked.

"Rest assured, City Lord, I’m fine."

The City Lord’s wife finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing his reaction and managed a smile.

She was afraid that Lu Tianlan would feel as disappointed upon hearing this news as she had before.

This child, whom she had hoped for and dreamed of for several months, turned out to be nothing more than Lu Tianfeng’s scheme!
