If there was really such a medicine, she would have tried it on Chu Tianbao long ago.
Cui Lingyi saw Madam Qu’s dark expression and smiled imperceptibly. Little Phoenix was indeed smart.
When Qu Xin’er heard this, she immediately panicked and shouted, “I don’t want to drink poison. I don’t want to drink poison. Grandmother, save me!” She was afraid that if she drank it, a black mole would appear on her palm.
Bai Wutong moved closer to her and her gentle smile seemed to be filled with viciousness. “Miss Qu, don’t worry. Many people have tried it. It definitely won’t cause any discomfort to Miss Qu’s body. I can vouch for it with my life.”
“Just one sip, just one sip…’
In Qu Xin’er’s eyes, Bai Wutong was like an old witch who was forcing others to drink poison. She kept muttering that she only needed one sip, like a curse was placed over her head.
Qu Xin’er could not stand the psychological pressure from Bai Wutong. She broke down and shouted, “I’m not drinking!”
Bai Wutong continued to press her. “Why not? Just one sip, just one sip…”
Psychological pressure was a common method of interrogating prisoners.
Qu Xin’er could not take it anymore and completely collapsed. Tears streamed down her face. “I was spouting nonsense. I was spouting nonsense. Are you satisfied now?!”
Bai Wutong looked at the stunned Madam Qu and said calmly, “I don’t think we’ll need the truth serum anymore.”
Madam Qu’s face darkened as she stared into Qu Xin’er’s eyes. “Xin’er, are you frightened?”
Qu Xin’er cried, “I don’t know. I really don’t know anything… Don’t ask me…”
At this moment, Madam Qu did not want to admit it, but she knew that Qu Xin’er must have lied just now.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so guilty. Her mind was in chaos just after she was asked about it.
This was the second time Qu Xin’er had done that, including to Li Keying.
She glared at the timid Qu Xin’er, but she was unwilling to give up on the Qu family’s pride and apologize. She could only grit her teeth and explain perfunctorily, “I’m afraid Xin’er heard wrongly and have misunderstood Miss Cui.
Qu Yuanxian and Cui Shize were good brothers. The Cui family had to care about the relationship between the two families.
However, Bai Wutong did not have such concerns. She raised her eyebrows and waved the truth serum again. She said annoyingly, “Did she hear wrongly? Then who was the one who was gossiping behind others’ back and misleading Miss Qu? This concerns the reputation of both families. Madam Qu, I suggest that we give Miss Qu a try of the truth serum. Miss Qu is still young, but we still have a reputation to protect.”
Bai Wutong did not want to let her off at all. Madam Qu was so angry that she wanted to slap her twice.
But she was also afraid that the truth serum would have an effect and make Qu Xin’er say more things she shouldn’t have. When the time came, if she really wanted to cover it up, she wouldn’t be able to clean up the mess.
Madam Qu said with a still face. “I’ll definitely get to the bottom of it when I get back.” With that, she wanted to take Qu Xin’er away.
“Hold up.”
Cui Lingyi suddenly stopped them.
Madam Qu hid her displeasure. “Miss Cui, what else do you want?”
Cui Lingyi looked at Qu Xin’er coldly. “Since you misheard and said something wrong, shouldn’t you apologize to me?”
Madam Qu did not expect Cui Lingyi to be so calculative. In front of so many people, she could not be perfunctory anymore. She pushed Qu Xin’er out.
“Apologize to Miss Cui quickly.”
Qu Xin’er did not want to apologize, so she kept crying.
It was as if everyone had forced her to do something wrong.
Qu Lianghua rushed over. When he saw this scene, he picked her up and asked
Madam Qu, “What happened?”
How could Madam Qu say it out loud? Lin Yue was understanding and helped him recount what his daughter had done.
Qu Lianghua’s face turned pale.
He naturally understood that Cui Lingyi would not say such a thing.
She hated himself more than anything.
Now, she probably hated him even more.
Qu Lianghua put Qu Xin’er down and apologized to Cui Lingyi. “It’s the father’s fault for not raising her properly. Xin’er is young and did not think her words through. Miss Cui, please forgive her.”
Madam Qu’s heart ached when she saw the pain hidden underneath her son’s eyes.
Cui Lingyi glanced at the father and daughter indifferently. “Let’s forget about today’s matter. Also, Young Master Qu, please call me Madam Cui from now on. ”
Cui Lingyi said these words in public to raise her seniority. No matter what rumors spread, it would stop everyone from guessing.
Cui Lingyi really had no feelings for Qu Lianghua, but Madam Qu felt very indiannnt
Her Hua’er was outstanding in literature and had an extraordinary bearing. He was infatuated with her, so how could he be unworthy of her!
Qu Lianghua met her calm eyes and answered helplessly. He had thought that coming to Qinghe Academy to study would one day move her. Now it seemed that everything was just his delusion.
Qu Lianghua cupped his hands again. “Yes, Madam Cui.”
His decisive words seemed to have really cut off all his feelings for her.
They swarmed away, and everyone in the courtyard heaved a sigh of relief.
Everyone could make mooncakes in peace again.
Cui Lingyi hugged Bai Wutong affectionately after her suave actions just now. “Little Phoenix, you’re really my darling!”
Bai Wutong reached out and patted her shoulder. “Your darling is giving you luck.”
Cui Lingyi rubbed against her a few more times. Suddenly, she sensed a sinister gaze on her back.
Cui Lingyi turned around and saw the sour-faced Chu Tianbao. She was so frightened that she quickly escaped to crack the duck eggs. Bai Wutong was amused. Chu Tianbao was almost jealous every day.
Cui Lingyi’s slender hands were as beautiful as art.
As she gently cracked the salted duck egg, her every single move was pleasing to the eye.
“Clack-.”
The duck egg shattered, and Cui Lingyi peeled the eggshell.
The eggshell accidentally entered her fingernail.
Cui Lingyi let out a low cry of pain. She raised her fair fingers and gently pulled out the eggshell dregs.
The wound was very small and Cui Lingyi did not bother about it.
Sheng Huaixuan, who was beside Cui Muzhi, suddenly handed her a soft handkerchief. “You should wrap it. It’s a wound after all.”
She stared at the handkerchief. After a moment of hesitation, she reached out and took it. “Thank you.”
Sheng Huaixuan smiled. “You’re welcome.”
His handsome face shone with a golden light under the sun.
Cui Lingyi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly lowered her head and wrapped her fingers in the handkerchief.
Sheng Huaixuan went to get the mooncake mold. Cui Muzhi, who had been paying attention to them, said gossipily, “I think Old Master Sheng is not bad!” He was much better than Qu Lianghua.
Cui Lingyi naturally knew what he was talking about. She glared at him. “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Cui Muzhi rubbed his head. “I really think Old Master Sheng is not bad. He’s handsome and is Cousin’s type. He’s also good at literature and Uncle often praises him! Besides, don’t you like Stinky too?”
Cui Lingyi blushed and suddenly said fiercely, “When did I say that Sheng
Huaixuan is my type!”
Cui Muzhi continued, as though asking for a beating. “Weren’t you stunned by him just now?”
Cui Lingyi raised her hand and was about to hit him when she saw Sheng Huaixuan holding a grinding tool and watching them bicker. She wondered if he had heard them just now..
