Chapter 548: Chapter 548 Threat Exposed (3)_1 Chapter 548: Chapter 548 Threat Exposed (3)_1 Shunzi pursed his lips, his mind having already conjured up a hundred ways to kill Lin Yuan, but he didn’t dare to use a single one.
Is there no way to avoid eating it?
Sniffling, Shunzi closed his eyes in despair and shakily opened his mouth.
Lin Yuan suppressed a smile and pursed her lips, tossing the “One-day death pill” into his mouth: “I heard from Doctor Hu that the pill works faster once it dissolves.”
Gulp.
Shunzi had stretched his neck and swallowed the pill whole, choking so hard that his eyes rolled back.
Liuzi was struggling to contain his laughter, turning away with his shoulders shaking and his hand covering his mouth, feeling his stomach starting to cramp from the effort.
Xia Zheng shot a disdainful glance at Liuzi—he’s so hopeless!
Once she saw he had taken the pill, Lin Yuan ordered the guards to untie him and then had them hand him the packet of dicine they had found in his shoe.
“Off you go, didn’t Shopkeeper Chen task you with poisoning?
Now you can do your job at the Century-old Cake Shop.”
Clenching the packet of Five Stones Powder, Shunzi asked with a hopeful tone, “Um, um, if I go now, in an hour, will you, will you give the antidote?”
Lin Yuan nodded, “I keep my word.
Once you’ve poisoned the cakes, co back here and find him; he’ll give you the antidote.”
Pointing at Liuzi, Lin Yuan assigned the task of administering the antidote to him.
Liuzi, who was still shaking with muffled laughter, let out a confused “Ah,” looking bewilderedly at Lin Yuan.
An antidote—where was he supposed to get one?
Was he supposed to concoct one himself in the kitchen?
With teary eyes, Shunzi approached Liuzi, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and grasped Liuzi’s hand firmly, his tone resolved: “Please make sure to wait for , I will be back in no longer than an hour!”
Having said that, with the tragic resolve of a hero heading to his demise, he scurried out.
Once Shunzi was out of sight, Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng finally let themselves laugh out loud.
“Boss, boss’ wife, that, that antidote?” Liuzi asked, his face stricken but chuckling as he approached.
Xia Zheng slapped his hand away, “Didn’t you see clearly how that poison was made just now?
Just make the antidote the sa way!”
With that, he took Lin Yuan’s hand and walked outside.
The four guards, upon hearing this, all crowded around asking about the One-day death pill’s recipe.
This thing was great; they could use it against bad guys in the future.
Liuzi felt like crying but had no tears.
If they knew that the formidable One-day death pill was actually nothing more than mooncake filling, he wondered if they’d all convulse on the spot.
“Your One-day death pill is quite impressive!” Xia Zheng arched an eyebrow, looking aningfully at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan smiled, her smile warr and more tender than the one she had given Shunzi: “What, Second Young Master Xia, you want to give it a try too?”
Xia Zheng wrinkled his nose, “Forget it.
I need to wait for you to grow up and enter the bridal chamber.
I wouldn’t satisfy my curiosity at the expense of that.”
“Nonsense!” Lin Yuan’s face turned red, and she slapped the back of Xia Zheng’s hand, forcefully pulling her hand away from his grip.
Xia Zheng watched her with amusent, deliberately blowing warm breath by her ear: “My mother has agreed; what are you afraid of?
Wait for to co marry you with a grand procession!
Haha.”
Lin Yuan bit her lip, “My mother hasn’t agreed yet!”
“Impossible, your parents already like too much; they’ve long agreed,” Xia Zheng said with a smirk and raised eyebrows.
Lin Yuan was at a loss for words, feeling frustrated.
It wasn’t just her parents; her maternal grandparents, and both her uncles had all agreed as well.
As she was finding herself speechless, Lin Yuan suddenly saw Loudmouth frantically making his way from the front hall.
Upon seeing her, he hurried over and said: “Sister, there’s trouble at the door!”
