Lu Xiao's words were grave, and Hu Lili was no three-year-old; she understood exactly what he meant.
Burning some herbs was nothing compared to the crime of attempted murder.
If they discovered she had murderous intent, it could mean a death sentence.
Hu Lili's legs gave out, and she collapsed to the ground. "No, it wasn't like that! I didn't!"
'She had only wanted to destroy Su Tang's herbs to stop her from winning everyone over.'
'How could she ever dare to do something like murder?'
"Hu Lili, come with us."
The investigator went straight over and helped Hu Lili to her feet. She was so terrified she couldn't utter a single word.
She was dragged away in a daze.
The pointing and muttering of the crowd drained Hu Lili of any strength to try and explain herself.
After Hu Lili was taken away, Su Tang promised everyone she would find replacement herbs as soon as possible.
Before, when they hadn't used the herbs, no one would have said anything.
