Chapter 908: They Got Stomachaches First
Mu Shi, "Mother, we're back."The Mu family nodded in unison, realizing someone was missing. Mrs. Mu glanced behind her daughter-in-law repeatedly."Where's A-Yu"The three of them were stunned."Big br...Upon hearing there was a mission, Zhao Xingzhou's footsteps faltered and he immediately turned back, his eyes gleaming with barely perceptible excitement.
She's still willing to talk and contact him. Is she not as angry anymore
"Okay."
Fang Jinshi was uncomfortable with Zhao Xingzhou's gaze. Although it wasn't as blatant as before, it held something that made her even more unwilling to face him.
Does he think he's a love guru What is he doing Atoning for his sins
Fang Jinshu turned her eyes away, "Since these people have already administered the poison, we can't waste their colorless and odorless medicine."
"Tonight, make dinner for those people using just the water in this tank. Keep an eye on them and make sure they eat."
Afterward, Fang Jinshu felt something was amiss and returned to add another item to the fish tank.
Little Moon looked puzzled. "Didn't we already poison the water tank"
What else did the mistress add inside
Fang Jinshi smiled, "They definitely ate the antidote before they poisoned themselves. The powder they used just now was something that could make their antidote ineffective."
At Zhao Xingzhou's words, a faint smile appeared in his eyes that was difficult to detect.
How many people in the world could outwit Fang Jinshu, a woman as intelligent as her She remains as cunning as ever, with thoughts so intricate that few can match her.
"Mrs. Gao, you are amazing!" Xiao Yue excitedly raised her thumb.
The other day, we were all swamped with orders, working like dogs. We woke up and just started working, our backs aching and we could only sleep when the moon was high in the sky. There wasn't any time for fun or relaxation at all.
Xiao Yue told Jin Yu about how the young mistress wanted to tidy up several probes. Jin Yu, who was always restless, immediately called Qiu Ju and Chang He to take Yuan Bao secretly to see the commotion at the servants' quarters.
When having dinner, Yuanbao even deliberately squatted in a place where people could see him and cried out that his stomach hurt.
Autumn Chrysanthemum and Gold Jade had gotten used to this boy, acting with him in a way that seemed real. The two were anxious, quickly calling for a doctor, saying the young master was about to die.
Those two who poisoned the others were mingling with the crowd, looking this way. The rest of them were genuinely worried, but those few with ulterior motives each had a different expression on their faces.
Some gloated, while others wore expressions of uncertainty.
Fāng Jǐnxiù saw them talking in low voices and instinctively moved her ears to listen.
"Boss, this young master is truly handsome. How can a three-year-old child be so beautiful It's a pity he died."
She still thought the spy had compassion for the child, but she didn't expect his next words to make Fang Jinyu so angry.
"I know a place that takes in these beautiful-looking toddlers, boys and girls both. The price is sky high."
"What's the use of such a tiny doll" Gang Ge still expressed his doubts. "It's even a boy! Selling him to a brothel as a young servant would be too much of a burden for them, he's just too small."
Another person let out a sly, lascivious laugh.
"Brother Gang might not know, some high-ranking officials in the capital prefer this kind of thing. The younger and tenderer, the better they like it."
Gang Ge clearly felt physically uncomfortable about this, his brows furrowed tightly.
"A bunch of sick freaks, the richer they are, the more freakish they become."
"Such a small doll, just playing around and it would die."
"So the price is higher than an ordinary girl, huh"
"What if we sneak this little kid away later"
Hearing the high price, Gang Ge was clearly moved, with a thoughtful expression.
Fang Jinshi couldn't bear to listen any longer. She didn't want to startle the snake, but these two scoundrels dared to plot against Yuanbao and even planned to sell him to such a filthy place.
Unforgivable!
As soon as she heard these words, she became furious and her face turned black with anger.
"I've changed my mind."
"I'll bring those two people over later."
Dinner was about to end. Gang Ge and his people had been observing the reactions of those around them, feeling a little strange in their hearts. They couldn't understand why these people were reacting so slowly.
The effect shouldn't be this slow, logically speaking.
Suddenly, both of them turned pale and felt a sharp pain in their abdomen.
"Oh! My, my stomach hurts so much."
"Gangge, Gangge, why are we, why are we so painful"
Several other faces instantly turned pale. They wanted to ask if there was something wrong with the antidote.
Why are everyone else fine, but they're the ones who get a stomach ache firsted to share the emperor's bed, any woman wouldn't want such an unsightly scar on her body.Fang Jinshu didn't say a word, and took out a tube of ointment from her sleeve."This, applied to the wound mor...
