Chapter 1341: 1041 Chapter 1341: 1041 Facing his indifference, she didn’t mind and brazenly followed him into the yard, “Your dical skill is quite good.”
“In the world, no one’s dical skill is better than Qingyue’s.
As her friend, I believe she would be happy to help you with a diagnosis.”
Tao ijiao waved her hands repeatedly, “It’s not a serious ailnt, I don’t want to find her.
She is the famous ‘Unnad’ divine doctor known to all, with a consultation fee of one thousand taels each ti, too expensive.”
Xiao Qinghe gave her a cold glance, “I’m not willing to examine you, seek another doctor.”
Tao ijiao felt her heart, once harshly injured by him, ache intensely, “Xiao Qinghe, I’ll ask you one more ti, are you truly so ruthless, not giving any chance at all?”
“I thought I made myself clear,” he ordered with an icy expression, “Liu Sheng, see the guest out.”
Liu Sheng, the servant who had been following Xiao Qinghe’s wheelchair, gestured Tao ijiao towards the exit, “Miss Tao, please!”
“Hmph, I can leave by myself!” Tao ijiao left the Yi Garden and glanced back at Xiao Qinghe in his wheelchair one last ti, biting her lip hard.
She thought to herself: Xiao Qinghe, you are forcing my hand!
She went to the kitchen and started making small talk with the female cook.
Since she was a friend of Su Qingyue, the cook didn’t have any suspicions of her.
While chatting, ijiao figured out which dishes were to be delivered to Xiao Qinghe.
Taking advantage of the cook’s distraction, she stealthily added poison to a soup on the table.
The cook looked at her with confusion, “Miss Tao, what are you doing?”
“Nothing.
I saw that the chicken soup was just right and felt like having so,” she casually replied.
“If you’d like so, I can serve you a different bowl.”
“No need, no need,” Tao ijiao hastily declined.
The cook pointed at the pot, “The portion on the table is for the Master.
There’s still half a pot left on the stove.
When the servant cos to pick up your als, I’ll serve you a separate bowl.”
“Thank you very much,” replied Tao ijiao without any reservations.
Liu Sheng entered the kitchen, “Auntie Gui, are the Master’s als ready?”
“The ones on the table are,” said the cook.
Liu Sheng took the als away.
Tao ijiao, seeing him carry the food away, let a scheming smile play across her lips.
The chicken soup had been spiked with a potent poison that would be fatal if the consur did not engage in intercourse with a woman.
She had also asked Qingyue about it; though Xiao Qinghe was a doctor, his dical skill was only above average, and he would not detect so colorless and tasteless dicines.
She had spent a hefty sum to acquire just such a colorless, tasteless dicine.
In three hours’ ti, the dicinal effect would take hold, and then she would enter Xiao Qinghe’s room to enjoy a tryst with him, creating a fait accompli.
Having taken her body, he’d have no choice but to marry her.
“I didn’t want it to co to this…” Tao ijiao murmured, “Xiao Qinghe, you’ve driven to this.
Everyone in town knows I like you, and it’s been so long.
If you don’t marry , where will my face be, Tao ijiao’s?”
She closed her eyes in agony, “I can’t bear not having you.”
She returned to the Elegant Garden.
The Elegant Garden was the courtyard of the Xiao Mansion for hosting guests.
Xiao Yishan was staying in one of the side rooms in the Elegant Garden, and Tao ijiao was temporarily accommodated there as well.

Xiao Yishan, the protector of the mansion, greeted Tao ijiao awkwardly upon returning to the garden after completing his duties, and then he went to his own room.
In the Yi Garden wing room, Xiao Qinghe hadn’t yet had the chance to eat when an attendant from the dicine hall inford him that Ministry Councillor Wang in the town had suddenly beco unconscious and unresponsive, and soone from the mansion had co seeking urgent dical assistance.
He hurried off to make an ergency house call.
The servant Liu Sheng returned the untouched food to the kitchen.
