699: Chapter 698 Peculiar Taste Chicken Soup 699: Chapter 698 Peculiar Taste Chicken Soup Lin Xia hadn’t yet waited for Lu Zheng’s return but unexpectedly, Fang Youlan arrived first.
Fang Youlan ca alone, carrying an old tal insulated food container and arrived at Shao Chengzhi’s ho.
When she arrived, Shao Chengzhi was resting upstairs after having his herbal dicine, leaving only Shao irou and Lin Xia, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair, downstairs.
They both were very surprised by Fang Youlan’s sudden visit.
Today, the north wind was howling outside, the weather was bad, and the sun had hidden itself.
The entire world seed gloomy and oppressive.
Shao irou suppressed various emotions in her heart, as she still had to maintain the courtesy expected of a daughter-in-law.
She stepped forward to take the food container from Fang Youlan’s hand and placed it on top of the shoe cabinet, then helped Fang Youlan with her coat.
“Mom!
It’s so cold outside today, why did you co out?”
Fang Youlan pulled down her hat, smiling gracefully, “I heard that chicken soup is good for nourishing a pregnant woman’s body, so I had Xiaozhang make so.
I also wanted to get so fresh air since being cooped up at ho all the ti isn’t good!
That’s why I ca over!”
Fang Youlan directed these words toward Shao irou but her eyes kept darting towards Lin Xia, paying close attention to her every move.
She knew that after the incident on the old man’s birthday, Lin Xia wouldn’t easily go to her house.
But ti was pressing, Lu Zheng, that young fellow, would be back soon, and if she wanted to take action, it had to be before his return.
Therefore, she thought of bringing over chicken soup as a ruse.
Shao irou smiled gracefully, seemingly very understanding, “Indeed, staying at ho all the ti during this season can be stifling!”
“Is your father resting?”
“Yes!
My dad fell asleep after taking his dicine!”
Lin Xia had gotten up late today, and she had just finished her al not long before Fang Youlan’s arrival.
She was slowly walking around the first floor to aid digestion when Fang Youlan hadn’t yet co.
Knowing that Fang Youlan bore grudges against her and disliked her, Lin Xia thus saw her mother-in-law and housemaid bustling forward and didn’t approach them.
However, today’s Fang Youlan was different from usual as she was extrely kind to Lin Xia.
She even asked with concern about what Lin Xia had eaten that day and if she was still vomiting after sitting down.
Lin Xia answered each question, but at the sa ti, a strange feeling rose in her heart, not knowing what act Fang Youlan was putting on this ti.
After all, on the day Lu Guangqi celebrated his birthday, from when the eldest child said there was a little sister in her belly, Fang Youlan hadn’t shown her a good face.
If it weren’t for the fact that many relatives and juniors had co over to their house, Lin Xia guessed that Fang Youlan wouldn’t even want to pretend.
Shao irou also felt a bit apprehensive, not knowing whether her mother-in-law had a change of heart for the better or if she had an ulterior motive.
Fang Youlan unscrewed the lid of the insulated food container that had been moved to the coffee table and took out the top layer, looking at Lin Xia with great enthusiasm and smiling, “Lin Xia, this is chicken soup that has been simred for several hours!
Have so while it’s hot; it’s good for both you and the child!”
As she spoke, she opened the white lid that was on top.
But as soon as she opened it, Lin Xia imdiately slled a very strange and unpleasant odor in the air.
She had drunk chicken soup before, so how could it possibly sll like this?
Could it be that sothing had been put in it…
Lin Xia felt that sothing was wrong and dared not casually drink Fang Youlan’s offering.
However, flatly refusing would certainly not be appropriate!
Therefore, Lin Xia pretended like she was going to vomit and shook her head, covering her mouth, “Granny!
I just finished eating and it hasn’t digested yet!
I can’t drink it!”
“Eating so late?” Fang Youlan couldn’t help but frown.
She had carefully calculated the timing of her visit.
Around ten, neither too early nor too late.
After a few hours of digestion, the breakfast from the morning should have left one feeling a bit hungry by now.
The chicken soup she tampered with would be just easy to get Lin Xia to drink.
“Hmm!
I woke up late!” Lin Xia scrutinized Fang Youlan carefully, trying to detect sothing off in her expression.
A flash of disappointnt crossed the bottoms of Fang Youlan’s eyes, but she quickly resurfaced with a smile, “These soups and liquids don’t take up much space!
Lin Xia!
Just drink a little bit!”
Seeing Lin Xia still looked unwilling, Fang Youlan put on a stern face and played her trump card, “This is sothing Grandma brought you all the way here!
You wouldn’t be so disrespectful, would you?”
“It’s not that I’m being disrespectful!
It’s that I really can’t drink anymore!” Lin Xia firmly declined, “How about we leave it here, and I’ll drink it later in the evening!”
How could Fang Youlan possibly believe what Lin Xia said?
If she really left it there, who knows, it might be dumped the mont she turned her back.
“How can that do!
It’s best to drink chicken soup while it’s still warm!” Fang Youlan pulled out all the stops in patience, “Co on!
It’s not much, just a few sips and it’s gone!”
Shao irou always felt that her mother-in-law’s smile looked rather creepy, she was a bit puzzled, “Mom!
What did you put in this chicken soup?”
Fang Youlan lifted her eyelids and glanced at Shao irou, “I didn’t add much, just so mushrooms.
What do you two an?
Don’t worry, it’s not poisoned!
If you don’t believe , I’ll drink it first!”
Seeing Fang Youlan getting angry, Shao irou quickly said, with her actions not matching her true feelings, “Mom!
Look at what you’re saying, I’m not saying it’s poisoned!
It’s just that the sll of this chicken soup is weird!”
Lin Xia agreed, “Right!
I even feel a bit like throwing up when I sll it!” After saying that, she quickly covered her nose.
“It’s normal for it to be strange!” Fang Youlan showed them the black chicken in the lunch box below, “This is black-boned chicken!
It was not easy to buy from soone!”
“Ah!
Black-boned chicken!” Shao irou clenched her fingers, not daring to be sure what exactly her mother-in-law had added to it.
Fang Youlan’s explanation did not alleviate Lin Xia’s caution, sothing abnormal definitely ant sothing was up!
Lin Xia pretended to suffer from gagging due to the weird sll and hurriedly went to the restroom.
But Lin Xia’s departure could only be for a while, she couldn’t stay in the restroom forever and not co out.
It seed Fang Youlan was set to have a standoff with her!
When Lin Xia returned to the living room once more, Fang Youlan continued to plead earnestly.
No matter how Fang Youlan persuaded her, Lin Xia firmly refused to drink.
Fang Youlan was thoroughly enraged, she forcefully slamd the chicken soup she had been holding up for so long onto the coffee table, splashing quite a lot out.
“Lin Xia!
What’s the aning of this!
An old lady like , with good intentions, brought you chicken soup!
You refuse to drink it no matter what!
Is this how you behave as a junior mber of the family?”
Lin Xia wasn’t intimidated by Fang Youlan’s stature, she shot back calmly, “How can I drink when I feel like vomiting from the sll?
I know you an well, but can’t I drink it later?
Why must you force to drink it now!”
Seeing Fang Youlan’s behavior, Lin Xia beca even more certain there was definitely sothing unspeakable in that chicken soup.
Shao irou couldn’t stay silent, she tried to diate, “Right, Mom!
Look at you getting angry!
Lin Xia is already throwing up, how about we let her rest for a bit, and I’ll make sure she drinks it later?”
Fang Youlan, seeing these two standing united, her lips quivered with fury, “What rest for a bit!
Don’t you two gang up on !”
“Mom!”
Ignoring Shao irou, Fang Youlan pointed at Lin Xia and sneered, “Lin Xia!
As a daughter-in-law of our Lu Family, you should do your duty!
I might as well tell you, there’s nothing toxic in here, I just added so Fetal Exchange dicine!
Today you have to drink it, whether you want to or not!
Don’t you feel the slightest bit of guilt for not giving Xiaozheng a son?”
Lin Xia was startled at first, there really was sothing added in it, specifically so Fetal Exchange dicine!
Then she was filled with burning rage, that damned old woman actually tried to trick her into drinking Fetal Exchange dicine!
Shao irou was also completely shocked, she had heard her mother-in-law ntion it before, but did not expect her mother-in-law to have taken action so quietly…
