Chapter 855: 115 Date, The Truth_4 Chapter 855: 115 Date, The Truth_4 An Jie pursed his lips, his face slightly pale, and said solemnly, “This is also the reason I ca here today.
I know that my poisoning has caused great losses to Fragrant Full Building.
No matter how great the losses are, I am willing to take full responsibility.”
“Oh?
Is it you taking responsibility, or is your An’s House taking responsibility?” Xia Zheng raised his eyebrows.
An Jie was slightly startled, “This, this matter, I hope not to let my mother know, I, An Jie, will take responsibility.”
His words ant he hoped they would not spread the news of Luoiyan’s poisoning.
Lin Yuan glanced at Xia Zheng and caught the “just as I thought” look in his eyes.
“You can take responsibility, but now, the people of Yecheng are convinced that our Fragrant Full Building’s food is poisoned.
Even if you settle this loss, what about next ti?
Or shall I say, what should we do in the future?”
This was the problem that Lin Yuan was most worried about.
An Jie was taken aback; he had thought of this, just not the best solution yet.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the best solution was to expose the person who did the poisoning and clear Fragrant Full Building’s na.
But that person was his wife; how could he bear to do that?
Xia Zheng tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, “We can keep your wife’s poisoning a secret, but I have one condition.”
“You say,” An Jie quickly responded, willing to agree to any condition as long as it did not an handing over Luoiyan.
“I want to see her!”
After their son and daughter-in-law’s wedding, An Yixiang used the excuse of her son’s frail health to “request” that Luoiyan stay in the residence to look after her son’s daily needs.
For Luoiyan, this was the first ti she had left the An’s House since marrying into the family, and looking at the familiar streets and vendors outside, she suddenly felt as though she was in another world.
An Jie quietly watched her shining eyes and for the first ti realized that he had failed her.
Fragrant Full Building was still roughly as he rembered, only much more desolate.
Watching Luoiyan’s flickering eyes, An Jie knew she felt sowhat guilty and couldn’t help joking, “Did you not expect that your little action would turn Fragrant Full Building into this?
In the future, I should take you out more, so you can do the sa to all of the Jin family’s competitors!”
An Jie couldn’t help but smile.
Luoiyan stared at him as he forced a smile, feeling both sour and uncomfortable in her heart.
Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng were already waiting for them in the elegant room.
Seeing Luoiyan again, she was still as gentle as before, making it hard to imagine that such a ladylike woman would poison her own husband.
Once both were seated, Luoiyan couldn’t help but speak first, “You wanted to see to ask what poison I used, right?”
Lin Yuan smiled faintly and shook her head, “No, we already know that you did not poison anyone.”
At this revelation, even An Jie couldn’t help being surprised, had they not just been saying…
Lin Yuan smiled again, “Little girl, are you still eating?
Co out, please.”
As she spoke, Xiao Linshuang’s disgruntled complaints, accompanied by suspicious chewing noises, resounded, “I’ve only just started on my second plate, mmm, big sis, it’s not that I’m biased, but the food from Drunken Immortal Residence really does taste better than what you make!”
Upon seeing Xiao Linshuang, Luoiyan’s eyes widened in disbelief; wasn’t this little girl the one she had encountered while making tea that day?
No wonder she couldn’t figure out how she had been exposed; it turned out to be because of her?
Seeing Luoiyan’s astonished look, Xiao Linshuang giggled, wiped the juice from the corner of her mouth, kicked her chubby legs, hopped onto a chair, and slowly said, “Pretty sister, you are really smart.
If I weren’t so greedy, loving to eat everything, I would never have discovered how you poisoned him!”
“Wait, what exactly is going on?” At this point, An Jie felt completely bewildered; one mont there’s poisoning, the next there isn’t—who’s telling the truth?
Lin Yuan smiled, gesturing for him to calm down and softly explained, “Actually, Young Master An, you were not really poisoned, at best, it was just food poisoning.”
Food poisoning?
“That’s right, food poisoning.” Of all the people present, only An Jie did not understand Luoiyan’s thod; Lin Yuan specifically explained to him, “Generally, when we talk about food poisoning, we an that soone has poisoned the food.
But that’s not always the case.
So ingredients beco toxic if they are not cooked properly or if they spoil, like potatoes and green beans.
However, so foods are naturally incompatible and beco toxic when consud together, causing adverse reactions or poisoning in those who eat them.
And, Young Master An, that is how you were poisoned.”
