After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 495 The Little Carpenter Finally Faces the Truth

The young carpenter was still immersed in joy when he heard Su Xiaoxiao ask him this question. He immediately looked at his wife with a blank expression.

However, now that the carpenter knew about Su Xiaoxiao's abilities, he immediately changed to a very ingratiating expression, came to Su Xiaoxiao, cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me, Divine Doctor Su."

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, then looked down at the witch sitting on the ground, pointed at her and said, "To tell you the truth, the reason your wife has been unable to wake up for so long is because of this witch you invited."

The carpenter knew that it was the miraculous doctor Su Xiaoxiao, whom he had invited, who had cured his wife's illness. However, he was a little hesitant and stammered for a while before saying, "But this can't be said entirely. Before you, Dr. Su, came, this great doctor was the one who treated my wife. She took care of my wife day and night. You can't just kill her because you cured my wife's illness!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that if this person was truly ignorant, there was really nothing she could do.

No matter what this person said, he wouldn't listen. He just thought that this shaman had come and could cure the patient's illness by randomly lighting some spices and singing some shamanic songs.

However, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on the young carpenter. After all, such ideas are deeply ingrained. Regardless of whether it was the young carpenter or not, even if it were someone else, people hundreds of years later would still have the idea of ​​shamanistic rituals.

In fact, such behavior also exists in the society that Su Xiaoxiao transmigrated to.

Although it's incredibly foolish, some people still believe it.

The witch rolled her eyes at Su Xiaoxiao, as if to say, "So what? You tried to turn me against the carpenter, but he wouldn't listen, so you failed, didn't you?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her shameless appearance without saying a word, and then pointed to the hallucinogenic poisonous mushrooms on the ground.

"I wonder if the pills you refine, Master, are also mixed with these poisonous mushrooms?"

This question left the witch speechless, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Actually, based on my long-term observation, the reason why the lady often doesn't speak and is in a daze is because of the poisonous mushrooms in these spices."

Su Xiaoxiao then explained to everyone, "Actually, this poisonous mushroom is a type of mushroom that can cause hallucinations. When the lady was sick and became emotionally agitated, this kind of poisonous mushroom could indeed calm her down a little. However, because it has hallucinogenic effects, it can also cause dependence. If you continue, it's the same as taking drugs. You'll become unable to live without it, and it might even take your life."

When the carpenter and his wife heard this, their faces were covered in sweat from fright.

"Actually, when I took your wife's pulse, I found that she had just caught a cold, which made her very weak. If she had been properly cared for at the time, there wouldn't have been any problems at all."

The witch was also a little stunned, but what Su Xiaoxiao said didn't seem to be wrong.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, "You just believed this witch's lies. You believe whatever she says. A grown man like you has no self-control at all. It's really despicable. Tell me, is it because of you that your wife might have gotten sick, or even that both of you might have died? Do you know that?"

The young carpenter finally lost his temper and pointed at the witch in front of him, shouting, "I've been calling you 'Master' every day, and you've used poisonous mushrooms to harm my wife! Don't you even know how to behave?"

The witch quickly waved her hands and said, "I didn't, don't believe Su Xiaoxiao's nonsense. Su Xiaoxiao, since you've already won, why are you still spouting nonsense here? I, you should let me go right now, I'll go far away, and I won't tell anyone about this, okay?" Su Xiaoxiao saw that this witch was quite clever; she didn't want to admit about the poisonous mushrooms and was even preparing to run away.

Are we just going to let this go like this? Su Xiaoxiao could tell that the witch was determined not to admit that her spices contained poisonous mushrooms.

This matter absolutely cannot be left unresolved. Su Xiaoxiao calmly picked up the poisonous mushroom from the ground and walked to the witch's side. "Since it's not the hallucinogenic poisonous mushroom you mentioned, eat it!"

After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she saw the witch's face turn ashen. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, I won't eat it!"

"What are you afraid of? If you're not scared, it means you know what will happen if you eat these magic mushrooms, right?"

The witch was speechless after being asked that question. She stammered, "What do you mean? What are you saying?"

Although Su Xiaoxiao kept bringing the poisonous mushrooms closer to her, she was still dodging them.

Clearly, she was terrified of the poisonous mushroom that Su Xiaoxiao was holding.

Su Xiaoxiao wasn't one to be trifled with; she grabbed a poisonous mushroom and shoved it into the witch's mouth.

The witch was so frightened that she immediately vomited. The way she vomited made Su Xiaoxiao think that she was absolutely disgusting.

It is malicious to give something to others that one would not dare to eat oneself, or that one knows is harmful.

For a little money, they would harm others. Many people are victims of these unscrupulous merchants who manufacture counterfeit and substandard products to cheat others for their own profit. Isn't that the same principle? They themselves wouldn't dare use them, knowing that using them could lead to death.

But to give it to others to use is simply too unethical.

This is exactly the kind of wicked witch she is. Seeing how she absolutely refused to eat, Su Xiaoxiao became even more certain of her thoughts.

The carpenter now completely believed Su Xiaoxiao's words. He then walked up to the witch, wanting nothing more than to strangle her, and stretched out his hands.

Upon seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao quickly stopped him from taking any further action.

"There's one more thing. I heard that you give her at least fifty taels of silver every day for your wife's medical treatment. Is that true?"

The young carpenter nodded. "That's right. If you keep indulging her like this, she'll drag things out and keep collecting your wife's medical fees. What a heartless woman!"

"I think you'd better not strangle her here. Take her to the authorities and tell the official all her crimes. Then you can make her get back the money she embezzled from you!"

Upon hearing Su Xiaoxiao's words, the carpenter immediately understood why Su Xiaoxiao hadn't let him go over and strangle the evil witch.
