Chapter 856: 115 Date, The Truth_5 Chapter 856: 115 Date, The Truth_5 What’s really at work here is what people often refer to as food incompatibility.
Normally, incompatible foods may not evoke a strong reaction, but that also varies from person to person.
Jin Jie was already physically weak, and with Luoiyan having him drink large amounts of Chrysanthemum tea over an extended period, combined with incompatible foods in his diet such as chicken or celery, toxins accumulated over ti and naturally caused a reaction.
Xiao Linshuang grabbed a yolk pastry and took a bite, saying, “Sister, do you also understand dical science?
Gosh, if it hadn’t been for seeing you spacing out while making tea that day, I would’ve never thought that poison could be administered in such a manner!”
Lin Yuan secretly nodded to herself.
She understood food incompatibility very well; it was just hard to imagine that a plot from a movie she had seen could actually happen in reality, and in this era no less.
Luoiyan hung her head with a resigned expression, as if the revelation of the matter had lifted a weight off her heart.
An Jie’s expression was solemn, his voice notably grave, “Yanyan, there’s sothing that I’ve always been puzzled about, you…”
“Why I would poison you, right?” Luoiyan kept her head down, her face unreadable, but her voice was heavy and faintly tinged with bitterness.
It wasn’t just An Jie; Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng were also eager to understand the reason.
Moreover, what aroused their suspicion further was that this incident coincided with what happened at the Fragrant Full Building, followed imdiately by soone exploiting it to bring down the establishnt.
If it were rely a coincidence, it might be dismissed, but if soone had been stirring the pot behind the scenes, it would complicate matters greatly.
Suddenly, Luoiyan lifted her head, her eyes full of pain and resentnt.
Her voice, once gentle, was now thick with bitterness, “An Jie, do you still rember the question I asked you on the day we got married?”
The day of their marriage?
An Jie was taken aback, recalling the night he lifted Luoiyan’s red bridal veil and her first words with parted ruby lips, “Why?”
With a room full of maids and bridesmaids, her expression so impeccably composed, he had always thought he had misheard.
It turned out she had indeed spoken those words.
Luoiyan gave a bitter laugh, “Why?
I clearly had soone I fancied, so why did you have to appear?
If not for your mother enticing my father with the expansion of our family’s pharmacy, would I have been forced to marry into the Jin family?
Hah, three years, a full three years since our marriage, it’s not that I’m barren, nor is it due to your frailty preventing from conceiving.
It’s simply that I never wanted your child.
An Jie, I thought I could just continue living like this, but why, why did you have to harm my senior brother?”
Senior brother?
“Yanyan, I didn’t, I haven’t hard anyone!” An Jie explained in agony, “You’ve always had the maid secretly buy contraceptives for you; did you think I didn’t know?
But like you said, the matter of harming your senior brother, I didn’t do that.”
As if struck by a thought, An Jie stiffened, his hoarse voice laboriously voicing, “You, you couldn’t have acted against because of this, could you?”
Luoiyan, both crying and laughing, nodded, “Yes, I had resigned myself to live my life with you, only to find out that you were so narrow-minded.
In order to have , you didn’t hesitate to take the life of my senior brother!”
“I didn’t!
The affair between you and your senior brother is sothing I only found out about earlier this year.
If I hadn’t visited his pharmacy that day, I would’ve…”
“What did you say?
You went to his pharmacy?
But wasn’t he…
dead?” Luoiyan’s eyes widened as she clutched An Jie’s sleeve tightly.
An Jie was stunned and subconsciously said, “How could that be?
He’s fine, he opened a pharmacy in the neighboring town, and moreover, he’s married with children.
His son can even run.”
“What happened?
How could this be?
That person clearly told my senior brother had been dead for over a year!
What’s going on?
What’s going on?” Luoiyan murmured to herself, her voice growing increasingly shaky, her body beginning to tremble lightly.
Lin Yuan exchanged a glance with Xia Zheng, indeed, Luoiyan had been used by soone.
After a detailed conversation, Luoiyan finally revealed the whole story, and in doing so, she also recognized the inconsistencies within it.
As it turned out, Luoiyan had suddenly received the token of love she had shared with her senior brother from a new maid in the household.
That maid had also tearfully claid that An Jie had secretly sent soone to harm him.
In truth, she didn’t believe An Jie could do such a thing, but when she sent her own trusted maid to her senior brother’s ho to inquire, the neighbors all said the senior brother had died.
Only then did she believe the maid’s words and harbored thoughts of revenge.
Since she had grown up in a pharmacy and had read nurous dical books, she understood the incompatibility of certain foods, which is why she ca up with that thod.
“Do you rember what that maid looked like?” Lin Yuan pressed.
Luoiyan shook her head, “Later on, I always felt that sothing was fishy and went looking for her, but she was nowhere to be found in the entire residence.
So said she had done sothing wrong and was dismissed by my mother.
I, I beca even more convinced that it was because she had revealed her identity by delivering the letter to that she was dealt with by my mother.”
At this point, Luoiyan couldn’t help but lower her head in sha.
An Jie gave a bitter laugh, shaking his head, “Fool, perhaps the token of love was real, but it must have been your senior brother’s way of returning it to you to make you give up.
Yan’er, your senior brother moved far away after we got married, and he has since married and had children.
If you don’t believe , we can set off tomorrow, and I will take you to the neighboring town to see him with your own eyes.”
Luoiyan bit her lip tightly, lifting her tearful eyes, and sobbed, “I, I did wrong, almost killed you.
You, you should hand over to mother, I don’t bla you, it’s just that I deserve it.”
“Fool, if I truly wanted to hand you over, I wouldn’t have locked you in the room and forbidden you from talking nonsense.” An Jie gently took Luoiyan’s hand, sowhat uneasy, “Yan’er, I’m sorry, I truly didn’t know back then that you had soone in your heart.
Mother told the proposal went smoothly, and I thought, I thought you were willing.
Yan’er, if you, if you want to…
”
“What are you thinking, the two of you have finally cleared up the misunderstanding, and now you’re thinking about splitting up?” Xia Zheng suddenly blurted out, rolling his eyes.
Was An Jie foolish or what?
Others hated him and he couldn’t see it, and now that they’re touched and admiring him, he still can’t see it.
Truly foolish!
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but cover her lips and snicker.
Xia Zheng, of all people, had stepped into the role of matchmaker.
This was indeed rare.
As Xia Zheng said, Luoiyan wasn’t without feelings for An Jie, it was just that a forr lover stood in the way, preventing her from letting go of the past.
Fortunately, now that things had been clarified, for a person as loyal and committed as Luoiyan, once she set her heart on soone, it was hard for her feelings to shift.
It had been so with her senior brother before, and it would be the sa with An Jie in the future.
Unfortunately, the person behind the scenes could not be found.
But Xia Zheng sneered.
Even though the maid had fled, the mastermind behind the scenes was quite obvious.
The greatest beneficiary of this affair was the mastermind themselves.
Fragrant Full Building’s losses were naturally An Jie’s responsibility to compensate.
However, Lin Yuan had thought of an even better way to make restitution, one that would not only clear Fragrant Full Building and Luoiyan of the charges but also expand the business and financial avenues of Fragrant Full Building, achieving two aims at once.
