How to access child value in json.net

I am trying to parse a json to access the child value. Below is the sample json,

jsondata = {
  "sample_data": "{"o2:{"testname":"o2","department":"chemistry","normalvalue":"l","testmethod":"j","specimen":"g","referelprice":"y","normalprice":"i","discountprice":"o"}}"
}

Below is my code

var _json = JObject.Parse(jsondata.ToString());
Console.WriteLine(_json["sample_data"]);

This code gives me the output

{"o2":{"testname":"o2","department":"chemistry","normalvalue":"l","testmethod":"j","specimen":"g","referelprice":"y","normalprice":"i","discountprice":"o"}}

Now if i try to get the Child "o2" by using

Console.WriteLine(_json["sample_data"]["o2"]);

i am getting below error message

cannot access child value on newtonsoft.json.linq.jvalue

Please help me on how to get the child value. I want the output like

{"testname":"o2","department":"chemistry","normalvalue":"l","testmethod":"j","specimen":"g","referelprice":"y","normalprice":"i","discountprice":"o"}

How can i achieve this. Please help.

You can do it using dynamic. 

dynamic a = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(yourJson);
Console.WriteLine(a.sample_data.o2.ToString());

As in your sample jsondata value stored againt sample_data is string.

Try this

var _json = JObject.Parse(jsondata.ToString());
var sampledataJson = JObject.Parse(_json["sample_data"].ToString());
Console.WriteLine(sampledataJson["o2"]);
