After sending off Wang Shuqiu in the morning, Du Heng skipped breakfast and directly called Gong Daoyang.
Du Bing claimed his Wife had eaten the bitter almonds herself. However, it was a poisoning incident, and their family situation was quite complicated. Who could guarantee Du Bing was telling the truth?
Suppose Du Heng hadn't gone to return the items last night. Or what if he had gone earlier, or a bit later? In any of those scenarios, if he had missed the window of Du Bing's Wife's poisoning, would her family still have cooperated with his emergency treatment as they did?
Furthermore, was their cooperation last night merely an act for his benefit?
If Du Bing's Wife had indeed missed the treatment window last night, then Du Bing's account would be purely one-sided.
